Definitions
- the present invention relates to a wipe container and housing system.
- wipe container housings might be located in various places around a building, e.g. in a kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, but that container of wipes in each housing should be adapted to perform a different task.
- wipes used in the kitchen may need to be impregnated with a liquid to cut through grease
- wipes used in the bathroom may need to be impregnated with an antiseptic
- wipes used in the baby changing room may need to be impregnated with a gentle cleansing liquid suitable for cleaning the sensitive skin of a baby.
- the invention seeks to provide a solution to this problem.
- a wipe container and housing system comprising at least two different types of housing and at least two different types of wipe container, wherein each housing is provided with a unique and different first cooperating component and each wipe container is provided with a unique and different second cooperating component such that, in use, each housing is only able to receive a wipe container when the first and second cooperating components are mutually compatible.
- first and second cooperating components are male/female or female/male cooperating components.
- one end of the wipe container supports a wipe dispensing aperture and the second cooperating component is provided adjacent such end.
- one end of the wipe container supports a wipe dispensing aperture and the second cooperating component is provided remote from such end.
- the second component on each wipe container is provided both adjacent the end of the container supporting a wipe dispensing aperture and adjacent the end of the container remote from a wipe dispensing aperture.
- the first component on a housing is in the form of an insert component whereby each type of housing is similar in size and shape with the exception of a different type of insert component.
- the wipe container includes a hinged cap to seal a wipe dispensing aperture, and the co-operation of the second component with the first component orientates the position of the cap relative to the housing.
- the cap is orientated such that it lies adjacent the back of the housing when removed from the wipe aperture.
- the wipe container includes a hinged cap to seal a wipe aperture, and the hinged cap features a one or more indents which co-operate one or more protrusions on the housing system of a corresponding shape such that the cap fits over the protrusion or protrusions in order to keep the cap from impeding free access to the wipes.
- Figure 1 shows a perspective view of a wipe container housing and a container of wipes with a second component adjacent the wipe dispensing aperture
- Figure 2 shows a perspective view of a wipe container housing and a container of wipes with a second component at an end remote from the wipe dispensing aperture.
- Wipe container 1 has a cylindrical tub 2 with a sealed end 3 at one end, and a lid 4 at the other end.
- Lid 4 has a wipe dispensing nozzle 5 for wipes 5 A, and cap 6 hinged to lid 4 by strap 7.
- Lid 4 has a second component in the form of a female recess 8 in the form of a "quadrant of a circle" on the opposite side of the lid to strap 7.
- Container is similar to known containers but with the addition of recess 8. Recess 8 is thus is adjacent the end of the container supporting a wipe dispensing aperture in the form of nozzle 5.
- Housing 10 has a semi-eliptical body having a front component 1 IA hinged to a back component 1 IB about hinge pins 12A,12B.
- Back component 1 IB is supported off a surface by an L-shaped stand 13.
- Front component 1 IA is hinged forward as shown to insert a wipe container into the housing 10 and is then hinged up to mate with back component 1 IA to hide the container 1.
- An insert in the form of an annular tray 14 is provided connected to the hinge pins 12A,12B.
- Tray 14 is adapted to receive lid 4 when the container 1 is placed in the housing and has a circular aperture 15 to allow wipes 5 A to pass through the aperture 15, and tray 14 has a first component in the form of a "quadrant-shaped" male projection 16 to be received in recess 8 on lid 4 When the wipe container 1 is placed on tray 14, cap 6 can be passed through aperture 15 and located in a cap receiving recess 17 in stand 13. Aperture 15 has an extension 15A to receive strap 7.
- Quadrant recess 8 and "quadrant-shaped" projection 16 from first and second cooperating components such that only a container of wipes with a recess 8 will fit on tray 14 and hence in housing 10. Also the co-operation of the second component with the first component orientates the position of the cap 6 relative to the housing 10 such that it lies adjacent the back of the housing when removed from the wipe aperture so it can be inserted into recess 17.
- a system would be sold having a plurality different types of wipe containers 1 each with a different shaped recess (e.g. quadrant-shaped, triangular, square etc) and each dispensing a different type of wipe.
- the containers with quadrant- shaped recesses could dispense kitchen wipes
- containers with triangular recesses could dispense bathroom wipes
- containers with square shaped recesses could dispense baby wipes.
- the system would also have a plurality of different types of wipe container housings 10 with different shaped projections (e.g. quadrant-shaped, triangular, square etc) and each receiving only one type of wipe dispenser.
- housings with quadrant- shaped projections could receive kitchen wipe containers
- housings with triangular projections could dispense bathroom wipe containers
- housings with square shaped projections could dispense baby wipes.
- the system thus encouraging or allowing only one type of wipe container housing to receive one type of wipe container, i.e. each housing is only able to receive a wipe container when the first and second cooperating components are mutually compatible. This ensures the correct type of wipe is used for a given purpose, e.g. to help prevent a kitchen wipe being used on the body.
- the projection on each housing is formed in an insert, most of the housing can be made from a common tool and only different types of insert need be made and installed in a housing to convert the housing into a type suitable for a particular wipe container.
- the recess could be on the housing and the projection on the container.
- other types of first and second cooperating components could be used, e.g. projections and recesses on both the housing and wipe container or opposing or attracting magnets.
- a system of matching colours or numbering could also be used. The colour or the number of the first component could visibly match that of the second component encouraging the user to put only one type of wipe container into one type of wipe housing.
- a combination of both matching colours or numbering of both the first and second components could be used in conjunction with the components co-operating due to their shape.
- FIG. 2 there is shown a wipe container 1 and a container housing 10 identical to that shown in Figure 1 except that a second component in the form of triangular recess 20 on wipe container 1 is provided (instead of recess 8) adjacent the end of the container remote from a wipe dispensing aperture, and an insert provides a first component in the form of a triangular projection 21 (instead of projection 16) at the end of housing 10 remote from tray 14.
- a second component in the form of triangular recess 20 on wipe container 1 is provided (instead of recess 8) adjacent the end of the container remote from a wipe dispensing aperture, and an insert provides a first component in the form of a triangular projection 21 (instead of projection 16) at the end of housing 10 remote from tray 14.
- the co-operation of the second component with the first component orientates the position of the cap 6 relative to the housing 10 such that it lies adjacent the back of the housing when removed from the wipe aperture so it can be inserted into recess 17.
- wipe containers could be provided each with different shaped recess to be accommodated in different types of housing each with different types of projections.
- first and second cooperating components could be used, e g projections and recesses on both the housing and wipe container, matching colours or opposing or attracting magnets Similarly, a combination of recesses or indents may be provided at both the adjacent end of the container remote from a wipe dispensing aperture and also the end adjacent of the container supporting the wipe dispensing aperture
- each wipe container could be both adjacent the end of the container supporting a wipe dispensing aperture and adjacent the end of the container remote from a wipe dispensing aperture, e g the container could have both recess 8 and 20 and housing 10 could have projection 21 and 16
