Claims23
A dispenser comprising:
- a wipe chamber component configured to receive, hold and dispense unused wipes and further configured below a discard receptacle component;
- the discard receptacle component configured to receive, hold and discard used wipes, wherein the wipe chamber component and the discard receptacle component comprise respective one or more integral threads, where each of the respective threads are configured to be threadably rotated into threads of a ring-shaped mounting device comprising a plurality of top internal receiving grooves for attaching the threads of the discard receptacle and a plurality of bottom internal receiving grooves for attaching the threads of the wipe chamber component to connect and hold the respective component to the mounting device;
- and
- wherein the mounting device is configured to at least fix the wipe chamber component below the discard receptacle component and is further configured to fix the wipe chamber component and the discard receptacle component to a supporting structure to support the weight of the wipe chamber component filled with the unused wipes and the discard receptacle component containing the used wipes, the supporting structure comprising a bracket extending from an outer surface of the ring shaped mounting device for attachment to a surface.

A ring-shaped mounting device for a dispenser configured to at least fix a wipe chamber component configured to receive, hold and dispense unused wipes below a discard receptacle component and is further configured to fix the wipe chamber component and the discard receptacle component of the dispenser to a supporting structure, the mounting device comprising:
- a plurality of top internal receiving grooves for attaching threads of the discard receptacle and a plurality of bottom internal receiving grooves for attaching threads of the wipe chamber component, where each groove is located at a different position around an internal perimeter surface of the ring-shaped mounting device;
- and
- a bracket configured to be integrally molded to the ring-shaped mounting device to support at least the weight of the ring-shaped mounting device, the wipe chamber component filled with unused wipes and the discard receptacle component filled with used wipes, the bracket extending from the outer surface of the ring shaped mounting device for attachment to a surface.
