Dispensing container having flexible dispensing partition
A dispensing container for dispensable wipes generally comprises a base at least partially defining an internal compartment for storing the wipes and a dispensing partition connected to the base. The dispensing partition comprises a flexible material having an aperture defined therein through which the wipes are individually removable. The dispensing partition is configured to move from a first position to a second position when one of the wipes is removed from the container through the aperture. The dispensing partition is biased towards the first position, and is at least partially inverted from the first position when in the second position.
Refillable cylindrical cosmetic wipe dispensing system
A wipes pack comprises a barrel having a central axis extending the length of the barrel, the barrel having an open top and a closed bottom; and a cap having a central axis extending the length of the cap, the cap has an open bottom and a closed top, wherein the cap is configured to fit within the open top of the barrel, the cap is lowered in the barrel to conceal a sidewall of the cap, and the cap is raised to expose the sidewall of the cap, wherein the sidewall of the cap includes a dispensing orifice; and the wipes pack includes a spindle that extends along the central axis of the cap or barrel or both, wherein the spindle is configured to support a roll aligned with the central axes of the cap or barrel or both.
WET WIPE WALL MOUNT DISPENSER
A wet wipe dispenser for serially dispensing wet wipes includes a tub assembly including a tub and a tub cover having a restricted wet wipe passageway, a mounting bracket, and a support structure hingedly mounted on the bracket for supporting the tub cover and tub allowing manual access through the support structure to a topmost wipe extending through the restricted wet wipe passageway.
DISPENSER APPARATUS AND METHOD OF USING SAME
A dispensing apparatus comprises a generally cylindrical housing, and attachment means adapted for attaching the housing to a support structure, such as an intravenous tubing line. The housing can contain a plurality of planar, interconnected items that are rolled up into a single roll. The interconnected items can be a plurality of individually packaged items, such as sanitizing wipes, which the each individual package is attached to another individual package along a line of perforation. A rolling mechanism can be mounted in the housing that supports the roll of wipes thereon and facilitates rotation of the roll.
DISPENSER FOR INTERFOLDED NAPKINS
A dispenser for interfolded napkins includes a container having a supporting surface for supporting a stack of interfolded napkins. The supporting surface extends in a horizontal plane, and is surrounded by side walls extending in a vertical direction perpendicular to the supporting surface. The side walls define a dispensing opening opposite the supporting surface. At least one tab is arranged in the container for retaining the stack of napkins during withdrawal of a napkin from the stack. The tab is pivotably arranged in relation to the container between a holding position, in which the tab extends horizontally over at least a portion of the dispensing opening, and a refill position, in which the tab is directed away from the dispensing opening. The tab pivots about a living hinge. One or more stop surfaces limit an extent to which the tab is able to turn about the living hinge toward the dispensing mouth.
Wet wipe packaging body
