- This invention relates generally to bathroom tissue dispensers and, more particularly, to a dispenser of rolled wet toilet tissue/wipes.
- Toilet tissues are almost universally provided in a dry form on rolls and dispensed by unrolling a desired amount of tissue for use. Some types of tissues are more comfortable than others, some tissues are more durable than others, and some tissues may clean better than others. By contrast, wet wipes, such as those used in cleaning a baby or toddler while changing a diaper, are typically provided as separate sheets in a box container although more recently wet wipes have been provided in soft containers such as plastic bags. Wet wipes, however, have not typically been dispensed in continuous rolls in the manner of toilet paper.
- Although existing methods and products for dispensing toilet paper and wet wipes are presumably effective for their intended purposes, they do not provide a good solution to the non-infant consumer who would desire to use wet wipes as an alternative to dry toilet paper in relation to the use of a toilet.
- Therefore, it would be desirable to have a dispenser of wet wipes on a roll for use in the same manner as traditional toilet paper. Further, it would be desirable to have a dispenser of rolled wet wipes that is easy to install for use with a traditional residential or commercial toilet paper holding bracket. In addition, it would be desirable to have a dispenser of rolled wet wipes that keeps the moisture of the wet wipes from drying out.
- A dispenser of a roll of wet wipes according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention includes a housing having a first portion and a second portion together defining an interior area, the second portion being movable between a first configuration preventing access to the interior space and a second configuration allowing access to the interior area. The housing includes end walls each defining an opening. The dispenser includes a support rod having first and second portions and a spring therebetween, the spring biasing the portions outwardly from one another. The support rod support members include terminal ends configured to extend through respective housing end wall openings, the ends being configured to be rotatably coupled to a toilet roll holding bracket. A continuous roll of moist toilet tissues is configured to be positioned about the support rod and to be selectively unrolled therefrom.
- Therefore, a general object of this invention is to provide a dispenser of a roll of wet wipes configured for use with an existing toilet paper roll holding bracket.
- Another object of this invention is to provide a dispenser of a roll of wet wipes, as aforesaid, in which a roll of wet wipes is dispensed from a housing that substantially maintains the moisture of the wipes until a portion of the wipes is intentionally removed.
- Still another object of this invention is to provide a dispenser of rolled wet wipes, as aforesaid, in which the rolled wipes housing includes a slot through which wipes are removed, the slot having a cutting element to aid a user in separating a desired amount of the wipe tissue from the continuous roll.
- Yet another object of this invention is to provide a dispenser of a roll of wet wipes, as aforesaid, that is easy to install, easy to remove wipes from, and cost-effective to manufacture.
