Abstract
A dispenser includes a dispenser body having an interior cavity, and an aperture that communicates with the interior cavity. The dispenser also includes a loading door and a lid. The lid engages a dispenser surface when in the closed position to thereby create a substantially gas impermeable seal. The dispenser further includes a mounting surface disposed within the interior cavity and proximal the aperture. The mounting surface includes a mounting interface that permits substantially gas impermeable mounting of a cartridge while permitting access to the cartridge from the exterior of the dispensing body through the aperture.
Claims19
A method comprising:
- providing a cartridge;
- opening a loading door of a dispenser to provide access to an interior cavity of the dispenser;
- positioning a cartridge mounting interface of the cartridge adjacent to a dispenser mounting interface disposed within the interior cavity of the dispenser;
- sliding the cartridge along a longitudinal axis of the dispenser mounting interface and into the interior cavity of the dispenser to provide a substantially gas impermeable seal between the cartridge mounting interface and the dispenser mounting interface;
- wherein the dispenser has a dispensing surface having an aperture that communicates with the interior cavity.
A method comprising:
- opening a loading door on a side of a dispenser to provide access to an interior cavity of the dispenser;
- inserting a cartridge having a plurality of wipes disposed therein into the interior cavity of the dispenser through the loading door on the side of the dispenser;
