Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a stack of folded wipes, a pack including the stack, a folded wipe for the stack, and to a method of forming a stack of folded wipes.
  • Wipes are flat sheets of material generally used for cleaning. Wipes may either be dry, or more commonly wet - impregnated with a liquid such as a cleansing agent which assists the cleaning action of the wipe. Wipes are often provided in stacks of wipes enclosed within a container, such as a pack. The container typically has an opening through which the wipes can be individually extracted. The position of the opening on the pack and the folded arrangement of the wipes may be such that an edge of an uppermost wipe in the pack is exposed through the opening, facilitating its extraction from the pack (since the exposed edge is easier for a user to grip than a flat planar part of a wipe).
  • US patent application No 2012/225,244 discloses in terms of its abstract: A stack of interfolded absorbent sheet products comprising a plurality of absorbent sheets and a method of folding and stacking the same. Each one of the absorbent sheets is folded twice about a first axis to define two inwardly folded inner panels and at least once about a second axis to define at least two outer panels sandwiching the inner panels therebetween. The second axis is substantially perpendicular to the first axis, Each of the absorbent sheet products comprises at least one outer panel at least partially sandwiched between a pair of outer panels of an adjacent one of the absorbent sheet products of the stack. Each one of the absorbent sheet products is entirely detached from all other absorbent sheet products of the stack.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a wipe which can be more easily and reliably retrieved from a pack.
  • each wipe comprising:
  • the direction of fold in relation to the first and second folds results in both edges of the wipe (that is, the edges of the side panels) being present on one face of the wipe, while the direction of fold in relation to the third fold results in the side panels, and thus the edges of the side panels, being anchored in place about the exterior of the central panels.
  • two pick points edges can be expected to be available for extracting a wipe from the stack, making it easier for a user to grip and extract the wipe. Even should one of these pick points not be accessible due to a manufacturing problem or due to the way in which a previous wipe of the stack was removed, it is probable that the other pick point will still be available.
  • the thickness of the wipe (both before and after being folded about the third fold) is controlled.
  • the lack of overlap of the first and second side panels will result in a thickness of two layers
  • the lack of overlap of the first and second side panels will result in a thickness of four layers.
  • the first side panels extend from a first edge of the wipe to the first fold and the second side panels extend from a second edge of the wipe to the second fold, the first and second side panels being folded onto the centre panels so that the first and second edges of the wipe are in close proximity or substantially meet. Due to the close proximity or substantially meeting, the size of an opening (see below) through which the wipes can be extracted can be made relatively small while still allowing both edges to be exposed. It may not be desirable for the two edges to actually meet, since this may actually inhibit access to one or other of the edges, while risking an overlap if there is an alignment issue during the manufacturing process. It is therefore preferred that a small gap be left between the first and second edges. However, in principle the two edges may be made to meet while still gaining most of the benefit of the present technique.
  • the first and second edges may be in close proximity or substantially meet at or near the middle of the centre panels, resulting in a symmetrical design.
  • an asymmetrical design could be used in which one pair of side panels is larger than the other pair of side panels, such that the first and second edges are in close proximity or substantially meet at an off-centre position.
  • the stack may be housed within a container (providing a pack of the stack of wipes and the container) having an opening through which wipes of the stack can be extracted, and wherein the opening of the container exposes part of the first and/or second edges of the wipe.
  • the opening will generally be in a top surface of the container, and in alignment with and exposing preferably both the first and second edges of the top-most wipe in the stack. Removal of the top-most wipe through the opening will leave the first and second edges of the underlying wipe exposed.
  • the wipe may have a square or non-square rectangular shape, with the first and second folds being parallel to an edge of the rectangular shape.
  • the first and second folds may be parallel to the short edges of the wipe.
  • the wipes may be dry wipes, or may be wet wipes impregnated with a liquid.
  • the wipes may be cosmetic wipes.
  • the stack may be provided as a refill for a container to be filled with the wipes, normally the stack will be provided in a container as a pack of wipes.
  • the container may be a plastics injection moulded container, or indeed a card carton, with an openable lid or closure of a dispensing aperture in a side, normally a top side, of the container or carton.
  • the container will be that of a flow wrap pack, of a plastics material web formed into a tube with a longitudinal seam usually underneath the stack opposite the dispensing aperture and two transverse seams at opposite ends.
  • an injection moulded closure could be adhered onto the top of the pack at the dispensing aperture; but normally a self-adhesive sheet closure will be provided.
  • Each wipe may also have the two centre panels folded away from each other so that the first and second side panels are inwardly disposed with respective C-folds.
  • a method of forming a non-interleaved stack of folded wipes comprising:
  • a prior art wipe rectangular wipe 1 is folded first using a 'Z' fold in which a first side panel 2 is folded along a fold line 2a against a first face of a central panel 4, and in which a second side panel 3 is folded along a fold line 3a against a second face (opposite to the first face) of the central panel 4, such that two opposite edges 2b, 3b of the wipe are each disposed parallel to each other and towards the centre of the wipe 1, but to either side of the wipe 1.
  • the edges 2b, 3b are therefore closely proximate each other, but with the central panel 4 of the wipe 1 separating them.
  • the wipe 1 is then folded along the dashed line 5, resulting in the configuration shown in Figure 2 .
  • FIG. 3 an improved cosmetic wipe 10 of the invention is schematically illustrated.
  • the wipe 10 is folded first using a 'C' fold in which a first side panel 12 is folded along a fold line 12a against a face of a central panel 14, and in which a second side panel 13 is folded along a fold line 13a against the same face of the central panel 14, such that two opposite edges 12b, 13b of the wipe 10 are each disposed parallel with each other, towards the centre of the wipe, and to the same side of the wipe 12.
  • the edges 12b, 13b are therefore closely proximate to each other, as with Figures 1 and 2 , but without the central panel 14 of the wipe 10 separating them.
  • the wipe 10 is then folded along the dashed line 15 with the two parts of the central panel 14 being folded towards each other, and the side panels 12, 13 being exposed on the outside, resulting in the configuration shown in Figure 4 .
  • the first side panel 12 and second side panel 13 each now comprise two parts (or panels) - one on either face of the wipe 10. More specifically, each of the side panels 12, 13 comprises a first part at the top of the wipe 10 and a second part at the bottom of the wipe 10,
  • the central panel 14 also comprises two parts following the folding of the wipe 10 along the line 15, and in this case both parts are adjacent to (folded against) each other.
  • the side and centre panels referred to above are not separate components, but are simply areas of a unitary sheet of wipe material which are delineated from each other by the first and second fold lines 12a, 13a. Similarly, each of the side panels and centre panels are themselves divided into two panels by the third fold line 15, resulting in a pattern of 3 x 2 panels (two first side panels, two centre panels and two second side panels).
  • Figure 5 schematically illustrates a pack 20 of a stack of wipes of the form shown in Figure 4 , disposed within a container 21.
  • the stack has tens of wipes stacked on top of each other with lower side panels of 12,13 of an upper wipe being placed on the upper side panels of the next wipe, with this arrangement continued down throughout the stack.
  • the third folds of each wipe are arranged above each other, although a different arrangement with the each wipe turned through 90° or 180° with respect to the one below can be envisaged.
  • the container is conventionally folded and sealed flow wrap web formed with the stack into a flow wrap pack.
  • the container 21 has an opening 22 in its top.
  • the opening is normally closed by a self-adhesive closure 23. With the closure peeled back, part of the first and second side panels 12, 13, and part of both edges 12b, 13b are exposed through the opening 22. A user is able to extract the wipe 10 through the opening 22 by gripping either or both of the edges 12b, 13b, facilitating extraction.
  • the dotted lines in Figure 5 show the positions of the edges of the uppermost wipe in a case where the orientation of the wipes is rotated by 90°. It will be appreciated that the orientation of the wipes with respect to the pack 20 is not important, provided that the edges 12b, 13b are exposed through the opening 22.
  • One particular advantage of this is that if during manufacturing, or during extraction of a previous wipe, one of the edges 12b, 13b is caused to be out of alignment with the opening 22, it is likely that the other of the edges 12b, 13b will still be exposed.
  • edges 12b, 13b can be brought into very close proximity, and even coincide with each other if desired, without increasing the thickness of the wipe 10 beyond two layers (or four layers when folded in half).
  • edges 2, 3 of the wipe 1 shown in Figures 1 and 2 must be kept further apart, because the thickness of the central panel disposed between the side panels will need to deform between the edges 2, 3 if the overall thickness of the folded wipe is not to exceed two layers (or four layers when folded in half).
  • Another advantage of the proposed folding arrangement is that when the wipe 10 is folded in half along the line 15, both side panels 12, 13 are folded around the outside of the central panel, such that the wipe structure is substantially symmetrical about a centre line which is generally coincident with the edges 12b, 13b.
  • the wipe 1 shown in Figures 1 and 2 one side panel is folded around the outside of the central panel while the other side panel is folded internally of the central panel. This gives an asymmetrical structure which may give rise to a lack of alignment (and potentially an overlap) of the edges 2, 3.
  • Another advantage of the C folded arrangement is that when liquid is applied to one face of the incoming continuous length of wipe material (prior to folding), whilst the liquid does penetrate the material, some surface presence is likely. This surface liquid can be undesirably removed from the material as it is processed through the standard folding apparatus.
  • a C herein, for example, a Z
  • the surface liquid becomes encapsulated between the central panel and the side panels, thus inhibiting liquid loss and permitting a more even distribution of liquid within the finished package.
  • the wipe configuration shown here is particularly useful for non-interleaved and separate (not joined) wipes, since the lack of interleaving or joining means that as each wipe is extracted the next wipe is not "dragged" out through the aperture. It is therefore particularly important that pick points are available for the user to extract each new wipe.
  • a step S1 an incoming continuous length of wipe material is provided.
  • the wipe material may for example be spooled from a dry roll of material and be sprayed with a liquid at the step S1.
  • the wipe material is then passed through a first folding mechanism (e.g. a folding plate) at a step S2 to form the first fold 12a, and in particular to fold the side panel 12 against the central panel 14,
  • the wipe material is also passed through a second folding mechanism (e.g.
  • a folding plate at a step S3 to form the second fold 13a, and in particular to fold the side panel 13 against the central panel 14,
  • a combined folding mechanism could be provided which makes both of the first and second folds in a single operation. This would be difficult or impossible with the folding arrangement of Figures 1 and 2 , in which the folds are to either side of the wipe.
  • the folded wipe is cut to length. In particular, a knife or saw is used to cut across the width of the continuous length of (now folded) wipe material at regular intervals, to divide the continuous length into a series of individual wipes.
  • each individual (separate) wipe is then folded in half (along the line 15 in Figure 3 ) as described above using a further folding mechanism (e.g. a folding plate).
  • the thus-folded wipes are then added to a stack of wipes at a step S6 until the stack is complete.
  • the stack of wipes are packaged into a container. It will be appreciated that variations around the ordering of several of the step S1 to S7 are possible. For instance, in principle the third folding step S5 could take place before the cutting step S4.
  • the shape and relative dimensions of the wipe may be different from that shown in the figures, and may be of a non-rectangular shape.
  • the side panels might be curved rather than having a straight edge.
