Abstract
A stack of interleaved wipes where the first wipe (10) will have its first crease (15) drawn to the region of or partially through an opening (1) in a container (2) of the wipes, so that it can be grasped and drawn through the opening. The second wipe (20) and those below are in their interleaved arrangement. The crease (25) together with adjoining parts of the portions (21, 24), is enfolded in a fold (170) of the wipe (10) formed by its portions (11, 16) and the crease (17). The wipe (10) is the wipe next to the wipe (20) on its side opposite from its portions (24, 26). The crease (27) at the opposite edge from crease (25) of the main portion (21) forms with the main portion (21) and the second folded portion (26) a fold (270) which enfolds the fold (350) of the wipe (30).
Claims7
A stack of interleaved wipes, the stack comprising:
- wipes each having:
- a main panel having
- two opposite faces on respective opposite facing sides of the main panel and
- two opposite creased edges, one being an enfolding one and the other being an enfolded one,
- at least three folded panels, wherein a first and a second folded panels connected to the main panel by respective creases at respective opposite creased edges, of the main panel and forming respective folds, both folded panels being folded to a same face side of the main panel and
- a third folded panel connected to the first or the second folded panel at a further crease;
- the wipes being stacked and interleaved, whereby a second wipe has:
- the enfolded creased edge of the second wipe enfolded within an enfolding fold formed by the main panel and the respective folded panel of a first wipe opposite from the said same face side of the second wipe and
- the enfolding creased edge of the second wipe being part of an enfolding fold, formed by the main panel and the respective folded panel of the second wipe, and having enfolded within it the enfolded creased edge of a third wipe on the same face side of the second wipe,
- wherein the crease of the third folded panel extends towards a middle of the stack, whereby a thickness of the stack is substantially uniform at all cross-sectional positions.
