Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a dispenser for wipes.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

It is common practice to request workers in the health services to clean their hands after touching contaminated surfaces or patients in order to prevent the spread of infection. A similar practice occurs in the food industry where workers are required to keep their hands clean whilst handling food. This involves frequent washing of hands with a suitable cleaning agent even for situations of minor contamination. Because the process of washing hands requires use of a basin, which is rarely easily accessible, and/or the use of cleaning gel and cleaning off with a towel, many workers simply fail to conform to their obligations because this process is both time consuming and inconvenient.

The invention seeks to solve this problem by providing an aesthetically pleasing, secure and location flexible dispenser for towelettes anti bacterial wet wipes to enable convenient, cleaning of hands, other parts of the body if required, surfaces or implements.

PRIOR ART

There have been a number of dispensers designed to dispense towelettes or wipes in the past. US Patent Application Number US-A-2001035416 discloses a receptacle for holding two dispensers.

U.S. Pat. No. 6,158,614 (Haines) discloses a dispenser of towelettes or wet wipes, typically supported on a coreless log or roll. Towelettes are dispensed through the lid of the container and housed in a chimney member that assists a user to extract the wipe correctly.

Another example of a towelette dispenser is described in US Patent Application Number US-A1 -2003/0116582 (Tosdale), which discloses a dispenser for commercial containers of moist towelettes. In use, the dispenser is secured permanently to a wall or counter top.

UK Patent Application Number GB-A-2 394 219 discloses a towelette dispensing device configured for dispensing at least a first type and a second type of towelette. Preferably these were a dry towelette and a wet wipe.

UK Patent Application Number GB-A-430577 discloses a container for sanitary paper and has a means for supporting deodorizing and/or disinfecting “blocks” incorporated therein.

The prior art thus discloses a variety of containers for dispensing towelettes or wipes and related support systems. Typically these containers were either portable or static. When static they were fixed permanently or temporarily to furniture or walls. However, a problem in the past has been that these attachment means did not allow for ease of connection and release from furniture or walls. Portable containers were easier to move and use in different environments, however these were prone to loss, damage or liable to be stolen.

The present invention aims to solve problems associated with prior art containers.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

Referring toFIG. 1 there is shown adispenser1 for wipes. Thedispenser1 has a bridgingmember10 adapted to be secured to a support member. The support member may be a floor or shelf stand, wall mounting, clamp for a tubular structure (such as a hospital bed or trolley), clamp for an edge of sheet material, or the like.

Afirst chamber20 is adapted to receive a container of wipes “X”.First chamber20 has a wall section in the form offlap21 which is hinged about hinge pins22A,22B and moves from a first position to secure the container of wipes in the chamber to a second position to allow withdrawal and replacement of the container of wipes “X”. Thechamber flap21 may be lockable in the first position.

A first releasable connection means is adapted to connect thefirst chamber20 to the bridgingmember10. The first releasable connection means is in the form of adovetail projection23 on the back offirst chamber20 which slides into acorresponding dovetail groove11 on the bridging member. A releasable spring finger12 (or other locking device) temporarily locks the first chamber to the bridgingmember10. If desired a security locking device or mechanism could be used.

Second chamber

30 is adapted to receive a container “Y”, which may be the same wipes as in container “X”, different wipes, for example dry towels or alternatively, a soiled wipe storage device such as a bag or other container (not shown), which has an aperture to receive soiled wipes.

Thesecond chamber30 has a wall section in the form offlap31 which is hinged about hinge pins32A,32B and moves from a first position to secure the container of wipes “Y” (or a storage device) in the chamber to a second position to allow withdrawal and replacement of the container of wipes “Y” (or a storage device). Thesecond chamber flap31 is lockable in a first position.

A second releasable connection means is provided adapted to connect thesecond chamber30 to the bridgingmember10. The first releasable connection means is in the form of adovetail projection33 on the back ofsecond chamber30 which slides into acorresponding dovetail groove13 on the bridgingmember10. A releasable spring finger14 (or other locking device) temporarily locks the second chamber to the bridgingmember10.

In one embodiment, shown inFIG. 2, thefirst chamber20 is smaller than thesecond chamber30, thereby permitting thefirst chamber20 to be placed within thesecond chamber20. This provides more economical transportation and storage.

In use, a dispenser can be created by connecting the first and/or second chamber(s) to the bridgingmember10. The bridgingmember10,first chamber20, andsecond chamber30 may therefore be supplied and purchased singly or in combination. A consumer is then able to purchase a bridging member and one chamber and then add another chamber at a later date.

Referring again toFIG. 1, thedispenser1, (with the bridgingmember10 andfirst chamber20 andsecond chamber30 assembled), is generally ellipsoid in shape. In use, thefirst chamber20 is located above thesecond chamber30 spaced by the bridgingmember10, and the first and second chambers project forward of the bridging member. Containers “X” and “Y” of wipes each have a wipe extracting aperture, and the spacing of the first and second chambers by the bridgingmember10 allows manual access to the wipe extracting aperture. The first20 and second30 chambers both include an aperture through which projects the wipe extracting aperture of the wipe container thereby allowing manual access to the wipe extracting aperture.

Also as shown, the wipe extracting aperture of container “X” in thefirst chamber20 is spaced from and opposes the wipe extracting aperture of container “Y”(or the aperture to receive soiled wipes if the container “Y” is replaced by a storage device) in thesecond chamber30.

The first and/or second chamber(s) may have an internal shape to accommodate an external shape of the wipe container whereby to support the container firmly.

The first chamber may also be adapted to receive a waste wipe storage device. The first or second chamber may include an aperture to support the storage device aperture. The storage device aperture may be provided by a bottle neck in the first or second chamber or a waste bag neck.

The dispenser may be sold in combination with one or more container of wipes and/or a soiled wipe storage device.

Referring toFIGS. 3 and 4, there is shown a perspective view of an alternative embodiment of adispenser301 for wipes. Thedispenser301 may be generally half ellipsoid in shape.

Dispenser

301 has achamber302 to house acontainer310 ofwipes312.Container310 has a wipe extractingaperture311.Dispenser301 allows manual access to the wipe extracting isaperture311.

Chamber

302 has a wall section in the form of aflap303 hinged by hinge pins304A,304B to themain body305 ofchamber302.Flap303 moves from a first position (as shown) to secure thecontainer310 of wipes in thechamber302 to a second position to allow withdrawal and replacement of the container of wipes. The chamber wall section is lockable in the first position by use of a locking device or mechanism (not shown).

Chamber

302 has an internal shape to accommodate the external shape of the wipecontainer310 whereby to support the container firmly. For example part of the external shape ofcontainer310 could be square and part of the internal shape of thechamber302 could be square thereby preventing rotation of thecontainer310 in thechamber302.Chamber302 includes an aperture302A through which projects the wipe extractingaperture311 of the wipecontainer310.

Anarm306 projects below thechamber302 from themain body305.Chamber302 projects forward of thearm306. Removable side panels307A,307B extend forward from the edges of thearm306 to provide a recess below thechamber302 allowing manual access towipes312.Arm306 includes receiving means in the form of an annular projection308 (or a recess) to receive asealing cap313 from thecontainer310 of wipes. The sealingcap313 may provide a “target” which soiled wipes can be thrown at and which deflects wipes to a soiled wipe container.

Thechamber302 may have one or more projections adjacent the wipe extractingaperture311 adapted to engage in perforations between wipes hereby to assist in separating one wipe from another. Thearm306 may be shaped such that the user is forced to pull the wipe across the or each projection thereby ensuring that the projections adjacent the wipe extracting aperture, engage the perforations between wipes whereby to assist in separating one wipe from another. For example the or each projection could be horizontally spaced from theaperture311 andarm306 may have a projection extending forward from its lower end to force a user to extract the wipe in a more horizontal direction from theaperture311, so as to ensure that the, or each, projection engages the perforations.

Areleasable connector320 is provided to releasably connect thechamber302 to a support member, such as a post “3X”, to hold the dispenser at a desired location. Thereleasable connector320 is formed from first and second interlocking

components

321,322, e.g. with male and female connecting parts, with thefirst component321 being secured to thedispenser arm306 and thesecond component322 secured to a support member such as post “3X”.

Dispenser

301 can be moved from one support member to another carrying an identical second component. Instead of a post “3X”, the support member may be a horizontal surface or a horizontal surface stand or clamp or a vertical surface like a wall, window or kitchen cabinet, a clamp for a horizontal or vertical tubular structure (such as a hospital bed or trolley), a clamp for an edge of sheet material, or the like. The releasable connector may be adapted to connect to at least two, e.g. three or more, different support members.

As before, a lock may be provided to releasably lock the first and second components together. A locking device or mechanism (not shown) may be provided to lock and/or unlock thechamber wall section303 in the first position.

Referring toFIGS. 5A and 5B there is shown adispenser501 for wipes.Dispenser501 is generally ellipsoidal in shape and may be formed from a suitable material such as a molded synthetic plastics material and as a unitary structure.

The bridging member may include a releasable connector whereby the dispenser can be moved from one support member to another. The releasable connector may be formed from first and second interlocking components. The first component is secured to the bridging member and the second component is secured to a support member, whereby the dispenser can be moved from one support member to another. Again a lock may be provided to releasably lock the first and second components together.

Dispenser

501 has afirst chamber510 to house a container “5X” of wipes having a wipe extracting aperture “5Y”.First chamber510 has amain body511 and a wall section in the form of aflap512 hinged to thefirst chamber body511 by a pivot pins513A1513B.Flap512 hinges from a first position to secure the container “5X” of wipes in thechamber510 to a second position away from the body511 (not shown) to allow withdrawal and replacement of the container “5X” of wipes. Thefirst chamber flap512 is lockable in the first position e.g. with a locking device or mechanism “5Z”.

Thefirst chamber510 includes anaperture514 through which projects the wipe extracting aperture “5Y” of the wipe container thereby allowing manual access to the wipe extracting aperture.

The first chamber may have an internal shape to accommodate an external shape of the wipe container whereby to support the container firmly. For example part of the external shape of container “5X” could be square and part of the internal shape of the first chamber could be square thereby preventing rotation of the container in the first chamber.

Dispenser

501 has asecond chamber520 to house soiled wipes in a soiled wipe storage device in the form of bag “5A” (or other suitable waste container). Bag “5A” includes a neck aperture in form of an annular collar “5B” which may be formed from two semicircular sections hinged together which can be brought together to seal the bag “5A” when bag “5A” is discarded.

Second chamber

520 has amain body521 and aflap522 hinged to thesecond chamber body521 by a pivot pins523A,523B.Flap522 hinges from a first position (as shown in the drawing) to secure the bag “5A” in thechamber520 to a second position away from the body521 (not shown) to allow withdrawal and replacement of the bag “5A” of wipes. Thesecond chamber flap522 is lockable in the first position e.g. with the same locking device or mechanism “5Z”.Second chamber520 includes anaperture524 to support the collar “5B”.

In an alternative embodiment, comprising first and second ellipsoidal chambers, the chambers may be arranged facing one another and supported on a guide-rail and arranged to move in a coaxial manner towards and away from one another so as to open and close a pod;

In a yet further variation, instead of a bag “5A”, the second chamber supports a second container “5X” of wipes. The wipe extracting aperture of a second container for wipes is defined byaperture524. In such an arrangement there would be no waste wipe receptacle so waste wipes would need to be discarded in an alternative receptacle like a floor bin.

Thefirst chamber510 is located above thesecond chamber520 and is connected to and spaced by a bridgingmember530 which is formed as a unitary structure with the first and

second chamber bodies

511 ,521. The first and

second chambers

510,520 project forward of the bridging member. The wipe extracting aperture of container “5X” in thefirst chamber510 is spaced from and opposes collar “5B” aperture of bag “5A” (or the wipe extracting aperture of a second container in the second chamber520 (shown in detail the embodiment ofFIG. 7).

Referring now to FIGS.6A and6

B1 panels

631 ,632 are provided between the first and second chambers and releasably connect to the bridgingmember630. The bridgingmember630 is located at one end of a recess formed by the first and

second chambers

610,620 and

panels

631 ,632. The bridging member supports a target (e.g. a circle printed thereon) at which soiled wipes can be aimed. If desired a sealing cap “6W” on container “6X” may be arranged to engage with a receiving means e.g. arecess633 in the bridging means or formed by a projection on the bridging means. The cap “6W” thus creates a target.

The bridgingmember630 supports aconnector640 to connect the first and

second chambers

610,620 to a support member to hold the dispenser at a desired location. The support member may be a floor or shelf stand, wall mounting, clamp for a tubular structure (such as a hospital bed or trolley), clamp for an edge of sheet material, or the like. Within a hospital or clinic, the support member may be a floor stand, wall or bedside cabinet mounting, or perhaps a clamp for a tubular structure (such as a hospital bed or medicine trolley). For food handlers, the support member may be a clamp for a point of sale counter, a mounting for a vertical structure (wall or kitchen equipment for example), or the like.

In use, it is envisaged that numerous dispensers of the type described and defined above would be used in, for example, health locations such as emergency medical, hospitals or in food handling locations. Within both it is necessary to be able to expediently re-allocate dispensers as the need changes. For example a dispenser will be required to be attached to a medicine is trolley while medicines are being dispensed by the nurse to enable easy access to a cleansing wipe. After the medicines have been dispensed, the dispenser can be easily released from its medicine trolley clamp and re-allocated back to a wall, bed or bedside cabinet mounting, drip feed stand etc.

As the connector is a releasable connector it permits the dispenser to be moved from one support member to another. InFIGS. 6A and 6B, thereleasable connector640 is formed from first and second interlocking

components

641,642, e.g. with male and female connecting parts. Thefirst component641 is secured to thedispenser601 and thesecond component642 secured to a support member whereby the dispenser can be moved from one support member to another. A lock may be provided to releasably lock the first and

second components

641,642 together. The lock may be operated by common locking device or mechanism “5Z”.

The first chamber may be smaller than the second chamber. This may be desirable so because a waste wipe storage device may need to be larger than a wipe container to accommodate all the wipes once used and crumpled up. container of wipes as the first chamber.

It is envisaged that a container of wipes and a waste wipe storage device may be sold in a common package. If a waste is wipe storage device is used in the second chamber, each wipe can be used and disposed of immediately.

The dispenser of the invention may be used in conjunction with a container as described in my copending International Patent Application, entitled ‘A Container for Wipes’ whose filing date is 29 Aug. 2007, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.

Further modifications will be apparent to those skilled in the art without departing from the scope of the present invention.
