Description
- There are a variety of storing and dispensing containers in the market, particularly those for storing and dispensing wipe type products. Wipe type products or wipes have been made from a variety of materials which can be dry or wet when used. Wet wipes can be moistened with a variety of suitable wiping solutions. Typically, wet wipes have been stacked in a container in either a folded or unfolded configuration. For example, containers of wet wipes have been available wherein each of the wet wipes stacked in the container has been arranged in a folded configuration such as a c-folded, z-folded or quarter-folded configuration as are well known to those skilled in the art. Sometimes each folded wet wipe is interfolded with the wet wipes immediately above and below it in the stack of wipes. In an alternative configuration, the wet wipes have been placed in a container in the form of a continuous web of material that includes perforations adapted to allow for separation of individual wet wipes from the web upon the application of a pulling force. Such wet wipes have been used for baby wipes, hand wipes, personal care wipes, household cleaning wipes, industrial wipes and the like.
- Conventional packages of wipes have typically been designed to be positioned on a flat surface such as a countertop, table or the like. Such conventional packages have often included a plastic container, tub or package which provides a sealed environment for the wet wipes to ensure that they do not become dirty or overly dry. Frequently, the package of wipes includes a dispensing opening through which wipes can be pulled from the otherwise sealed environment. The dispensing opening is typically covered by a lid or flap that can be repeatedly opened and closed - opened to dispense the wipes, and closed to keep the wipes clean and moist.
US2004/0089578 relates to a napkin container having a cover. - Ideally, when such a lid or flap is opened, the lid or flap stays open without the application of an external force. This is because if the lid or flap can stay open on its own, a user can more easily dispense a series of individual wet wipes using a single hand after the lid or flap has been opened. Such single-handed, one-at-a-time dispensing is particularly desirable because the other hand of the user or care giver is typically required to be simultaneously used for other functions. For example,
when changing a diaper product on an infant, the care giver typically uses one hand to hold and maintain the infant in a desired position while the other hand is used to dispense a baby wipe to clean the infant. - It is known to use flexible "peel and seal" label flaps on wipes dispensing packages to cover the dispensing opening. However, conventional "peel and seal" flap designs have proved to be either complex or expensive, such as requiring multiple layers of materials, or have been shown to not adequately stay open without the application of an external force. As a result, what is lacking in the art is a "peel and seal" label flap that offers a simplified construction, and that will better stay open during wipe dispensing to facilitate improved one-handed operation.
FR2992947 - The present invention provides an improved flexible resealable label adapted to cover a dispensing opening in a package, as claimed in claim 1. The present invention, also provides a package employing such a label, as claimed in claim 9.
- The present invention will be more fully understood and further features will become apparent when reference is made to the following detailed description of the invention and the accompanying drawings. The drawings are merely representative and are not intended to limit the scope of the claims. Like parts of the labels and packages depicted in the drawings are referred to by the same reference numerals.

Figs. 7A-7C representatively illustrate top plan views of three different arrangement of resealable labels not in accordance with the present invention. - Referring to the embodiment of
Figs. 1A and1B , the present invention is directed in one aspect to a package having a resealable label. Referring toFigs. 1-7 , the present invention is directed in another aspect to a resealable label. Aflexible resealable label 20 is adapted to cover adispensing opening 12 in apackage 10. The package can contain wipe or tissue type materials that can suitably be dispensed through the dispensingopening 12, such as a stack or roll of baby wipes, moist wipes, cleaning wipes, facial tissue, or the like. Thelabel 20 can be constructed of any suitable material offering a suitable amount of bending stiffness - such as suitable to allow the hinge, described below, to function. In one example, thelabel 20 is constructed of a polyolefinic material, such as polypropylene or polyethylene. "Resealable" as used herein means capable of being adhered to apackage 10, capable of being at least partially peelably removable from thepackage 10, and capable of being thereafter re-adhered to thepackage 10. The use of releasable and resealable adhesives to join polymeric materials is known in the art. - The
label 20 includes apolymeric sheet 22. Thepolymeric sheet 22 has alength 24 extending in alength dimension 25, awidth 26 extending in awidth dimension 27, athickness 28, abottom surface 30, and atop surface 32. Thepolymeric sheet 22 has aflap portion 40 and abase portion 60. The flap portion can assume aclosed position 42 and anopen position 43. Theflap portion 40 and thebase portion 60 generally occupy the same plane when theflap portion 40 is in theclosed position 42. When theflap portion 40 is in theclosed position 42, theflap portion 40 covers the dispensing opening 12 (when the label is affixed to a package 10). When the flap portion is in theopen position 43, the dispensingopening 12 is exposed to allow wipes or other items within the package to be withdrawn through the dispensingopening 12. - The
base portion 60 and theflap portion 40 are adapted to be at least partially adhered to apackage 10. In one example, thebase portion 60 and theflap portion 40 are both adapted to be releasably adhered to apackage 10. In another example, thebase portion 60 is adapted to be permanently adhered to apackage 10, and theflap portion 40 is adapted to be releasably adhered to thepackage 10. In one embodiment of the package aspect of the present invention, both theflap portion 40 and thebase portion 60 of thelabel 20 are releasably adhered to apackage 10. Referring toFig. 2C , in particular embodiments, adhesive 62 at least partially covers thebottom surface 30 of the polymeric sheet. The adhesive 62 is adapted to adhere the polymeric sheet as just described to a polymeric flexible package, such as a flexible package of baby diapering or toileting wipes. - The
flap portion 40 has ahinge side 46 and a liftingside 48 opposite thehinge side 46 in thelength dimension 25. Thehinge side 46 of theflap portion 40 is connected to thebase portion 60 along ahinge 50, such that theflap portion 40 can movably pivot with respect to thebase portion 60 at thehinge 50 about an axis ofrotation 52. Theflap portion 40 can pivot about thehinge 50 from theclosed position 42 to theopen position 43. The liftingside 48 includes astarting tab 49. Thestarting tab 49 allows a user of apackage 10 to more easily grasp the liftingside 48 of theflap portion 40, particularly when attempting to move theflap portion 40 from theclosed position 42 to theopen position 43. In particular embodiments, thestarting tab 49 is releasably and resealably adhesively adhered to thepackage 10. In other embodiments, thestarting tab 49 is not adhesively adhered to thepackage 10. - Referring to
Figs. 1A-1B and3A-3E , in particular embodiments, thehinge 50 is defined by a straight line ofintermittent cuts 54 that extends in thewidth dimension 27. Eachcut 54a extends all the way through thethickness 28 of thepolymeric sheet 22. In particular embodiments, such as those shown inFigs. 1A-1B and3A-3E , the line ofintermittent cuts 54 resides in the axis ofrotation 52 of thehinge 50. The line ofcuts 54 serves to relieve bending stress along the axis ofrotation 52, thus allowing theflap portion 40 to more efficiently pivot relative to thebase portion 60 and to stay open. In particular embodiments, the straight line ofintermittent cuts 54 includes at least two distinct cut segments (Fig. 3C ), more particularly at least three distinct cut segments, still more particularly at least four distinct cut segments (Figs. 3A, 3B , and3D ), and still more particularly at least five distinct cut segments (Figs. 1A and1B ). - The
hinge 50 has ahinge length 51. As representatively illustrated inFigs. 3D and4D , the "hinge length" as used herein is the distance along the axis ofrotation 52 between the two points most distal from each other at which theflap portion 40 is integrally connected to thebase portion 60. In particular embodiments, the distinctintermittent cuts 54a together define at least 50%, more particularly at least 75%, and still more particularly at least 80% of thehinge length 51. In particular embodiments, theflap portion 40 is connected to thebase portion 60 along no more than 50%, more particularly along no more than 30%, still more particularly along no more than 25%, and still more particularly along no more than 20% of thehinge length 51. - Referring to
Figs. 2A-2C andFigs. 4A-7C , in alternative arrangements not in accordance with the present invention, thepolymeric sheet 22 includes not only aflap portion 40 and abase portion 60 but also a connectingstrips portion 70. The connecting stripsportion 70 connects thehinge side 46 of theflap portion 40 to thebase portion 60. Theflap portion 40, thebase portion 60, and the connectingstrips portion 70 occupy the same plane
when theflap portion 40 is in aclosed position 42. Theflap portion 40 has ahinge side edge 47 defined by a straight line ofintermittent cuts 54 extending in thewidth dimension 27. Eachcut 54a extends all the way through thethickness 28 of thesheet 22. The connecting stripsportion 70 comprises at least one distinct connecting strip 72 (Figs. 6A-7C ), more particularly at least two distinct connecting strips 72 (Figs. 5A-5C ), still more particularly at least three distinct connecting strips 72 (Fig. 4C ), still more particularly at least four distinct connectingstrips 72, and still more particularly at least five distinct connecting strips 72 (Figs. 2A-2B and4A-4B ). Each connectingstrip 72 extends from thehinge side edge 47 of theflap portion 40 into thebase portion 60 in thelength dimension 25. Each connectingstrip 72 terminates at the axis ofrotation 52. The line ofintermittent cuts 54 does not reside in the axis ofrotation 52. - Referring to
Fig. 4D , theflap portion 40 has aflap portion width 41, and each connectingstrap 72 has a respective connectingstrap width 73. In arrangements, the sum of the respective connectingstrap widths 73 is less than 20% and more particularly less than 10% of theflap portion width 41. In arrangements, each connectingstrap 72 has a connecting strap width of at most 3 millimeters and more particularly at most 2 millimeters. In arrangements, the sum of the respective connecting strap widths is less than 30% and more particularly less than 20% of thehinge length 51. - Referring to
Figs 2A-2C and4A-5C , in arrangements, the straight line ofintermittent cuts 54 includes at least one distinct cut segment (Figs. 5A-5C ), more particularly at least two distinct cut segments (Fig. 4C ), still more particularly at least three distinct cut segments, still more particularly at least four distinct cut segments (Figs. 2A-2B and4A-4B ), and still more particularly at least five distinct cut segments. - The
base portion 60 extends at least partially around theflap portion 40 in thelength dimension 25 and in thewidth dimension 27, so as to frame at least 75% and, optionally, more particularly at least about 90% of aperiphery 44 of theflap portion 40. Preferably, theflap portion 40 is unconnected to thebase portion 60 other than along thehinge 50. - In particular embodiments, when the
label 20 is adhered to apackage 10, theflap portion 40 can be resealably peeled away from the surface of thepackage 10 to an open position so as to reveal the dispensingopening 12 while thebase portion 60 remains adhered to thepackage 10, and theflap portion 40 can assume a fully open position and remain in such fully open position without application of an external force. "Fully open position" means a position that is between about 100 degrees and about 190 degrees of the closed position.
