Wipe dispenser

Abstract

A wipe dispenser has: a stacked body configured by stacking sheet-like folded wipes; a storage body for storing the stacked body and having, at an upper portion, a dispenser opening from which the wipes are pulled out; and a pressing member that is pressed against an upper surface of the stacked body by biasing force, wherein the pressing member ensures that resistance generated when pulling the wipes through the dispenser opening is uneven between the left-hand side and the right-hand side of the upper surface of the stacked body, which is divided by a virtual straight line therebetween that is perpendicular to a fold line of each of the wipes.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The present invention relates to an improved wipe dispenser with a storage body in which a stacked body of sheet-like wipes is stored. In the present invention, the term “wipe(s)” means wiping members, or more specifically, soft fiber sheets impregnated with fluid, functioning to wipe off unwanted matters and the like on the surface of a subject that is to be wiped. Examples of the concept of such wipes include wiping cloths, body wipes, makeup remover wipes, toilet seat cleaning wipes, and the like.BACKGROUND ART[0002]A wipe dispenser has a storage body for storing a stacked body of sheet-like wipes. The stacked body is typically configured by a number of wipes that are folded along two or more fold lines and stacked on top of each other. Therefore, the stacked body is practically in the shape of a hexahedron. The storage body has a dispenser opening from which wipes can be pulled out one by one, starting from the wipe placed at the top of the stacked body. The...

Benefits of technology

[0018]According to the wipe dispenser of the present invention, the function of the pressing member not only enables convenient vertical use but also prevents the stacked body of wipes from becoming untidy in the storage body. In addition, the function of the pressing member can prevent the shape-retaining ability of the storage body from being affected by the consumption of wipes, and separates a wipe from the subsequent wipe smoothly and more reliably.

[0019]According to the wipe dispenser of the present invention, the function of the additional resistance application portion can separate a wipe from the subsequent wipe as described above and at the same time moderately lift the front edge of the subsequent wipe.

[0020]The wipe dispenser according to the present invention can be manufactured smoothly and easily using an automatic manufacturing machine due to the function of the retaining member that prevents the pressing member of the wipe dispenser from unnecessarily coming into contact and interfere with the other members when assembling the storage body and an outlet member into the wipe dispenser or when packing the stacked body of wipes in the storage body.

Problems solved by technology

Particularly, even when the wipes are increasingly consumed, the amount of this fluid does not easily decrease relative to the consumption of the wipes.
