Definitions
- the invention relates to a roll of centrally fed wipes comprising a reinforced portion for facilitating threading of a dispensing opening in a dispenser.
- the reinforced portion comprises a branched tag comprising at least two legs and a connecting end where the legs are connected and which connecting end is arranged to be the leading portion of the reinforced portion.
- the point of each leg comprises resilient fastening means arranged to fold at least partly when the point is pushed through the wipe fabric and arranged to return at least partly to its original state in order to hinder a return of the fastening means through the wipe fabric.
- the fastening means are located on the opposite side of the wipe material with relation to the connecting end, which gives that when a user pulls the connecting end through the dispensing opening the fastening means becomes at least partly embedded in the web material and are thereby protected from damaging the dispensing opening.
- the dispensing opening is made from a resilient and easily damaged material intended to have a close fit around the wipe material.
- the points are arranged to be pushed through a common hole in the wipe fabric. In this example, it is also possible to reverse the process by pushing the connecting edge through the material which results in all legs in one hole.
- the points are arranged to be pushed through different holes in the wipe fabric.
- the holes can be pre-made or may be the result of the points penetrating the web material.
- the use of several fastening means distributes the load from the web material when a user having pushed the tag through the opening and drags the entire wipe material through the dispensing opening by holding the tag and applying force onto the wipe material via the legs and the fastening means.
- the dispensing opening is made from a resilient material intended to apply friction to the wipe material when the roll of wipes, which are divided by laterally extending tearing lines, being dispensed should be ripped into one or more wipe sheets.
- the wipe material is pulled essentially straight up from the dispensing opening and when the user wants to separate one or more sheets from the continuous roll of wipes the wipe material is pulled at an angle to the dispensing opening an thereby increasing friction between the dispensing opening and the wipe material so that the tearing lines break due to increased stretch force of the wipe material in the dispensing direction.
- each tag consists of exactly two legs.
- the fastening means comprises two pin shaped portions.
- the two pin shaped portions have proven to give a good load distribution so that the web does not break or rupture, and has proven to be easy to push through the web material for creating a hole without destroying too much material in the web material.
- the tag is made from plastic.
- any material is allowed as long as the material of the tag allows for penetrating a wipe web such that the pin shaped portions bend, i.e. folds, during penetration and then relaxes essentially to its initial state after penetration for load bearing purposes as described above.
- alternative materials to plastic is rubber, silicone, reinforced structures and composition of structures comprising stiff materials for legs and pins and resilient material for the joints.
- An example of a plastic tag according to the invention suitable for wet wipes gives the dimensions:
- Pin shaped portions 4mm-12mm, preferably 8mm. It should be noted that depending on the material of the wet wipe web, more than two legs can be used in order to increase the load bearing properties of the tag. When using more than two legs, it is possible to either have all legs in one hole; or one leg per hole; or one leg in one hole and more than one leg in one hole or holes.
