WIPE

Abstract

The claimed invention is a wipe that will have a double layer that is sealed on three sides but is left open on one. The wipe has a single pocket that can be turned inside out. Double layers of the wipe will help in cleaning surface and further a protective surface so that no contaminants can leak out.

Claims

1) One or more sheets or layers that are folded and/or joined in multiple ways to form one or more pockets; said pockets can take the entirety of the wipe or a portion thereof; said wipe used for holding disposables to be disposed of along with wipe after use.

2) The Wipe will have a double layer that is sealed on three sides but is left open from the last end, the dirty side folded away the wipe can be held or carried without dirtying or contaminating its surroundings.

3) It has a single pocket that can be turned inside out and covers either the whole sheet or a portion of it so to be used as a regular wipe or additionally one can use the pocket.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] The following detailed description is merely exemplary in nature and is not intended to limit the described embodiments or the application and uses of the described embodiments. As used herein, the word exemplary or illustrative means serving as an example, instance, or illustration. Any implementation described herein as exemplary or illustrative is not necessarily to be construed as preferred or advantageous over other implementations. All of the implementations described below are exemplary implementations provided to enable persons skilled in the art to make or use the embodiments of the disclosure and are not intended to limit the scope of the disclosure, which is defined by the claims. Furthermore, there is no intention to be bound by any expressed or implied theory presented in the preceding technical field, background, brief summary or the following detailed description. It is also to be understood that the specific devices and processes illustrated in the attached drawings, and described in the following specification, are simply exemplary embodiments of the inventive concepts defined in the appended claims. Specific dimensions and other physical characteristics relating to the embodiments disclosed herein are therefore not to be considered as limiting unless the claims expressly state otherwise.

[0025] A new improvement on wipe where it has a single pocket that covers either the whole sheet or a portion of it.

[0026] The sheet materials can be provided as thy sheets or moist sheets, The sheet materials can be further treated during or after the formation of the wipe product. Examples of treatments include embossing, cutting, folding, impregnation with additives, application of binders, application of moisture, and application of agents such as lotions, therapeutic substances, cleaning agents, and agents for sanitization and/or sterilization.

[0027] The wipe can be composed of numerous layers such as to provide a layer for cleaning and a further layer to act as a protective shield against leakage and or contamination between what is held inside the pocket and outside surfaces.

[0028] FIGS. 1a and 1b provides a schematic illustration of an example of some of the components of a wipe and the materials used, as well as an example of an end product. An improved wipe comprising of, in a preferred embodiment, a wiping sheet made up of two sheets layered on-top of each other and joined or sealed together fully or partially (11), (13) to form one or more pockets (10), (12).

[0029] FIGS. 2a and 2b shows wipe made up of one sheet folded (15), (17). And sealed, and/or which are joined (16), (18) thus creating a pocket (14), (19)

[0030] FIGS. 3a shows two sheets sealed (21), (22) with a slit or opening (20) in one sheet so as to access the pocket and 3b shows sheet folded (24) at a corner and sealed on one side (25) so as to make a triangular pocket (23).

[0031] Among the various uses this improved wipe can be used as a traditional baby wipe as after cleaning, the wipe can be turned inside out and the soiled surface would remain inside. It is particularly useful for traveling, where one often needs wipes to clean oneself or the surrounding objects but also needs to deal with waste items such as chewing gum, when one is not near to a waste disposal. Another reason for wipes is for post intercourse cleaning, in this situation these multipurpose wipes can also be used to clean the genitals as well as disposing of condoms in a sanitary and discrete way after they have been used. This wipe makes it possible to carry waste items hygienically and out of sight. It is also useful for medical purposes where possibly contagious and uncleanly items such as bloody cotton balls or to clean a person and then enclose the feces, snot, spit or sputum can be kept in the wipe pocket and separated from other waste.

[0032] A simple functionality of wipe would be:

[0033] a Use the wipe to hold waste.

[0034] used to pick up waste without touching it and enclosing it inside the pocket

[0035] Turn inside out.

[0036] Wrap it and enclose the waste.

[0037] Dispose of the wipe.

[0038] Proposed places where the wipe can be used, but not limited to:

[0039] Improved baby wipe so that the soiled side may be turned inside out and isolated

[0040] Post sex to dispose of condoms.

[0041] Women using sanitary products such as tampons and sanitary pads.

[0043] In dentistry to clean and or dispose of things such as teeth and or dentistry tools.

[0044] In medicine to clean surfaces and or people and or dispose of medical items.

[0045] In engineering or chemical situations where a surface needs to be cleaned and items disposed of without contact.

[0046] in a laboratory situation where items need to be efficiently picked up and disposed of.

[0047] It is noted that the simplified diagrams and drawings do not illustrate all the various connections and assemblies of the various components, however, those skilled in the art will understand how to implement such connections and assemblies, based on the illustrated components, figures, and descriptions provided herein, using sound engineering judgment.

[0048] The Abstract of the Disclosure is provided to allow the reader to quickly ascertain the nature of the technical disclosure. It is submitted with the understanding that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims. In addition, in the foregoing Detailed Description, it can be seen that various features are grouped together in various embodiments for the purpose of streamlining the disclosure. This method of disclosure is not to be interpreted as reflecting an intention that the claimed embodiments require more features than are expressly recited in each claim. Rather, as the following claims reflect, inventive subject matter lies in less than all features of a single disclosed embodiment. Thus, the following claims are hereby incorporated into the Detailed Description, with each claim standing on its own as a separately claimed subject matter.
