Abstract
A sanitary wipe is provided, including a pad that is contained beneath or as part of an adhesive sticker or otherwise attachable body that is releasably secured at any convenient point on a surface of a container or containment vessel, such as the side or top of the containment vessel. The pad can be provided with or without a cleaning substance. For use, the user simply pulls the adhesive sticker or attachable body free of the container, and uses the wipe part or pad of the sticker or body to clean and remove contamination wherever contamination is suspected or at any other desired location, like on the lid of the containment vessel.
Claims18
A single sanitary wipe attachable to a containment vessel, comprising:
- a planar body, having a top surface, a bottom surface, and an adhesive layer band disposed continuously around a perimeter of the bottom surface only, a width of the adhesive layer band extending between an outermost edge of the planar body and an adhesive free center of the bottom surface of the planar body, and being configured to secure the planar body to the containment vessel;
- a single pad smaller than the planar body, removably positioned at the adhesive free center on the bottom surface of the planar body;
- and
- a pad cover larger than the single pad and smaller than the planar body, positioned between the single pad and the containment vessel,
- wherein the adhesive layer band is further configured to:
- secure the pad cover to the bottom surface of the planar body,
- provide a space to releasably contain only the single pad between the pad cover and the planar body, when the pad cover is secured to the bottom surface of the planar body, and
- secure the single pad and pad cover, between the bottom surface of the planar body and the containment vessel when the planar body is secured to the containment vessel.
A method of providing a single sanitary wipe attachable to a containment vessel, the method comprising:
- positioning a pad cover, between a single pad and the containment vessel;
- removably
- positioning the single pad at a center on a bottom surface of a planar body, wherein the single pad and pad cover are smaller than the planar body, and wherein the single pad is smaller than the pad cover;
- and
- securing the planar body, having a top surface, the bottom surface, and an adhesive layer band disposed continuously around a perimeter of the bottom surface only, a width of the adhesive layer band extending between an outermost edge of the planar body and an adhesive free center of the bottom surface of the planar body, to the containment vessel,
- wherein the adhesive layer band is configured to:
- secure the pad cover to the bottom surface of the planar body,
- provide a space to releasably contain only the single pad between the pad cover and the planar body, when the pad cover is secured to the bottom surface of the planar body, and
- secure the single pad and pad cover, between the bottom surface of the planar body and the containment vessel when the planar body is secured to the containment vessel.
A method of using a single sanitary wipe attachable to a containment vessel, the method comprising:
- gripping a portion of a planar body, having a top surface, a bottom surface, and an adhesive layer band disposed continuously around a perimeter of the bottom surface only, a width of the adhesive layer band extending between an outermost edge of the planar body and an adhesive free center of the bottom surface of the planar body, and being configured to secure the planar body to the containment vessel;
- pulling the planar body away from the containment vessel and a pad cover, to expose a single pad smaller than the planar body, removably positioned at the adhesive free center on the bottom surface of the planar body, wherein the pad cover is larger than the single pad and smaller than the planar body, and is positioned between the single pad and the containment vessel;
- and
- pulling the exposed single pad from the adhesive free center on the bottom surface of the planar body and cleaning a portion of the containment vessel with the single pad,
- wherein the adhesive layer band is further configured to:
- secure the pad cover to the bottom surface of the planar body,
- provide a space to releasably contain only the single pad between the pad cover and the planar body, when the pad cover is secured to the bottom surface of the planar body, and
- secure the single pad and pad cover, between the bottom surface of the planar body and the containment vessel when the planar body is secured to the containment vessel.
