Abstract
A storage and dispensing package for wipes comprising a non-rigid container having sides which define a cavity. A collapsible-expandable baffle structure having a width is positioned within the sides of the container and divides the cavity into a storage portion for wipes and a dispensing portion. The baffle structure includes a dispensing orifice through which wipes can pass and communicate with the dispensing portion. A resealable mechanism can also be included at an end of the package.
Claims60
A storage and dispensing package for wipes comprising:
- a non-rigid container comprising sides with a top end portion and a bottom end portion, where the sides and top and bottom end portions define a cavity within the container;
- the cavity including a storage portion for wipes;
- the top end portion including a resealable mechanism;
- a non-rigid baffle structure having a width and located in between the resealable mechanism and the storage portion with the baffle structure positioned between opposing sides of the container spaced apart from each other, the baffle structure thereby defining a dispensing portion of the cavity overlying the storage portion of the cavity wherein at least two opposite sides of the baffle structure are joined to respective opposing sides of the container spaced apart from each other and thereby the baffle structure spans between the opposing sides of the container;
- and,
- the baffle structure including a dispensing orifice through which wipes can pass and communicate with the dispensing portion.
A storage and dispensing package for wipes comprising:
- a non-rigid container having sides which define a cavity therein and including a resealable mechanism located adjacent a top portion of the sides;
- a collapsible-expandable baffle structure having a width and positioned within the sides of the container and dividing the cavity into a storage portion for wipes and a dispensing portion wherein at least two opposite sides of the baffle structure are joined to respective opposing sides of the container spaced apart from each other and thereby the baffle structure spans between the opposing sides of the container;
- and,
- the baffle structure including a dispensing orifice through which wipes can pass and communicate with the dispensing portion.
A package for storing and popup dispensing of wipes comprising:
- a non-rigid container having opposing sides which define a cavity within the container;
- means for (a) dividing the cavity, into a storage portion for wipes and a dispensing portion overlying the storage portion and (b) adjustably separating opposing sides of the container where the opposing sides are adjacent the means for dividing;
- a plurality of wipes are located in the storage portion;
- means for (a) dispensing the wipes through the means for dividing and out of the container in a first mode and (b) dispensing at least one of the plurality of wipes through the means for dividing and retaining a first portion of the at least one wipe within the storage portion and a second portion of the at least one wipe within the dispensing portion for later use while also enabling the container to be sealed closed in a second mode;
- and,
- wherein the means for dividing and adjustably separating comprises a baffle structure and at least two opposite sides of the baffle structure are joined to respective opposing sides of the container spaced apart from each other and thereby the baffle structure spans between the opposing sides of the container.
