Towelette Dispenser

A towelette dispenser having a tub with an open end and receiving and maintaining a bulk supply of interconnected towelettes, separable from each other by perforations and having a lid received by said tub over said open end, said lid further comprising:

• a base portion having a top annular planar surface with a central aperture, the top annular planar surface includes an interior edge abutting the central aperture,
• an interior skirt extends from the interior edge downwardly toward the tub, the interior skirt having a terminal edge, and
• an inwardly tapered annular surface structure extending from the terminal edge of the interior skirt, wherein the surface structure includes a free lower edge, the surface structure having:
• a gap segment configured to start at the free lower edge to create first and second gap edges defined in the surface structure defining an entrance, and the gap segment further traveling through the surface structure to a capturing element configured to exert a force on a towelette to permit separation of one towelette from supply of interconnected towelettes, and
• wherein the gap segment is further configured to travel upwardly along the surface structure in a direction away from the entrance towards the capturing element, and wherein the capturing element is offset and upwardly positioned along the surface structure from the entrance to the gap segment, whereby the entrance to the gap segment is thus configured to receive a towelette from the supply of interconnected towelettes, further permitting said towelette to travel around the gap segment until being captured at the capturing element wherein the capturing element permits separation of one towelette from supply of interconnected towelettes.
