Description

subject of the invention

The invention relates to a removal system for a wipe or wet wipe dispenser and a wipe or wet wipe dispenser with a container for receiving wipes or wet wipes and with a removal system according to the invention.

Background of the invention and prior art

Towel or wet wipe dispensers that include a bucket for holding the wipes are well known. In the medical field, for example in hospitals, medical practices or dental practices, it is often necessary for the cloths to be soaked or at least wetted with a disinfectant. For this purpose, a disinfectant can be put in the bucket, which is absorbed by the towels. However, it is also possible to put disinfectant wipes that have already been soaked, which only have to be removed from the protective packaging, into the bucket.

In order to unroll the wipes or wet wipes and remove them from the bucket, it is known to provide a removal opening in the lid of the bucket through which the wipe or wet wipe can be removed from the bucket. This avoids having to remove the lid to remove the wipes from the bucket, which can lead to contamination of the wipes remaining in the bucket. Furthermore, it is known to close the removal opening in the lid after a tissue or wet tissue has been removed. From the WO 99/13760 A1 and the U.S. 5,718,353 Tissue or wet wipe dispenser systems are known which have a stable box or bucket for receiving the wet wipes and a lid for closing the box or bucket. The lid has a removal opening through which the wipes or wet wipes can be removed. Furthermore, the cover has a closure cap with which the cover or the removal opening can be closed. However, these systems are designed to be reused. A one-way use of this system would mean a significant environmental impact. In addition, space-saving disposal is not possible without further measures.

object of the invention

The invention is therefore based on the object of providing a dispenser for tissue or wet tissue dispensers in which contamination of the tissues remaining in the dispenser is effectively avoided even when individual tissues are removed from the dispenser and at the same time ecologically compatible and space-saving disposal is made possible.

Solution according to the invention

According to the invention, this object is achieved with a tissue dispenser and with a removal system for a tissue dispenser and a container according to the independent claims. Advantageous refinements and developments of the invention are specified in the respective dependent claims.

Detailed description of the invention

1 shows a removal device 10 of a removal system according to the invention in a perspective view from above. The removal device comprises a closure cap 15 (which is also referred to below as a cover), a removal part 27 and a flexibly designed connecting web 50 which connects the closure cap 15 to the removal part 27 . The connecting web 50 prevents the closure cap 15 from being lost after the removal device has been opened. Further the connecting web 50 is designed in such a way that the removal part 27 can be easily closed with the closure cap 15 .

The closure cap 15 here has a substantially cylindrical side wall 11a, the diameter of which is slightly larger than the cylindrical side wall 13 of the extraction part 27. When the extraction device is closed, the side wall 11a of the closure cap or the closure cap is slipped over the extraction part 27 so that the side wall 13 of the dispensing part is at least partly surrounded by the side wall 11a of the closure cap, as for example with reference to FIG figure 5 shown.

A sealing ring or a radial projection 18 can be provided on the side wall 13 of the extraction part. The sealing ring or the radial projection 18 is designed in such a way that after the removal device has been closed, it rests essentially flush against the inside of the side wall 11a of the closure cap. A largely air-tight or liquid-tight closure of the extraction device is thus essentially possible.

In the middle or central region of the base 16 of the removal part 27 there is an opening or removal opening 11 which is formed here by slits 14a arranged in the shape of a cross. The removal opening 11 is also formed by a number of holding corners, which are separated from one another by the slots 14a. The holding corners 14 are slightly curved upwards so that they form a slight elevation on the bottom 16 of the removal part. The holding corners 14 are also designed to be slightly flexible so that they can easily bend upwards when removing a towel through the slots 14a, while the arched design of the holding corners 14 largely prevents the towel from being pulled back into the container on its own. The cross-slit opening has advantages in terms of contamination of the tissues remaining in the dispenser.

The base 16, the lid of the closure cap 15 and/or the retaining corners 14 can have a transparent material in order to enable a view of the interior of the container through the removal device without removing the removal device to have to. The removal device is preferably made of a plastic

2 shows a removal device 10 of a removal system according to the invention in a perspective view from below. The connecting means 12 which is arranged on the underside of the base 16 of the removal part 27 and is designed as a thread or as part of a bayonet lock can be seen here. This enables a particularly simple connection or arrangement of the removal device to or on the intermediate piece 20 of the removal system according to the invention, as with reference to FIG 6 shown. Furthermore, a detachable attachment of the removal device to the intermediate piece 20 is made possible. The intermediate piece is also referred to below as a fastening frame with reference to all of the embodiments.

3 shows a removal device of a removal system according to the invention in a plan view. The intersecting slots 14a, which form the removal opening 11 and which form four holding corners 14, are clearly visible here. Of course, more or fewer than four slots 14a or four holding corners 14 can also be provided. As can be seen here, the width of the slits increases towards the center in order to achieve a certain distance between the holding corners 14 in the area of the center, which makes it easier to pull out the cloth through the slits 14a.

4 shows a removal device of a removal device of a removal system according to the invention in a sectional view.

The holding corners 14, which are curved slightly upwards and are separated by the slots 14a, are particularly clearly visible here. The holding corners 14 are designed to be slightly flexible, so that when the cloth is pulled out, they bend slightly upwards. The slightly upwardly curved shape of the holding corners 14 also ensures that the towel cannot be pulled back into the container on its own, because pulling it back would bend the holding corners 14 slightly downwards, which means that the distance between the holding corners in the area of the The slits become smaller, which in turn leads to the cloth being pinched between the holding corners.

Can be seen in 4 also the radial projection 18 on the side wall 13 of the removal part 27. Instead of a radial projection, a sealing ring 18 can also be arranged.

The side wall 13 of the removal part 27 and/or the side wall 11a of the closure cap 15 are designed to taper slightly towards the top, so that the upper edge 13b of the side wall of the removal part and/or the lower edge 15b of the side wall of the closure cap make it easy to detach a tissue that has been pulled out of the container enable. If the tissue roll arranged in the dispenser system has no perforations, the closure cap 15 can be used as a separation aid, with the tissue to be removed being separated from the tissue roll or separation being facilitated by closing the closure cap.

A cylinder 12 is provided on the underside of the bottom 16 and is arranged coaxially with the opening 11 . The cylinder serves as a connecting means to connect the sampling device to the intermediate piece 20, as in 6 shown.

The connecting means is designed in such a way that the connection to the intermediate piece is made possible in the manner of a bayonet connection or in the manner of a screw connection.

It is advantageous if the connecting means and the base 16 are designed in one piece.

figure 5 shows a removal device of a removal system according to the invention in a sectional view, the removal device being closed. The radial projection or the sealing ring 18 can be seen here, which bears against the inside of the side wall 11a of the closure cap or corresponds to a radial recess or groove on the inside of the side wall 11a of the closure cap. This enables the removal device to be sealed as far as possible airtight or liquid-tight.

Sealing elements (not shown here) can be provided on the underside of the base 16 of the removal part 27 . The sealing elements can be configured as sealing rings, for example. The provision of the sealing elements ensures that, after the extraction device has been fitted to the intermediate piece, a largely airtight or liquid-tight connection is also created between the extraction device and the intermediate piece.

6 shows a removal system 10 according to the invention (without closure cap 15) in a sectional view.

On the underside of the base 16 or on the underside of the extraction part 27 there is an intermediate piece 20 which interacts with the connecting means 12 of the extraction part in order to connect the extraction device to the intermediate piece. The intermediate piece 20 is arranged on the dispensing part coaxially to the opening 11 of the dispensing part, the intermediate piece having a channel through which the towels can be passed.

The intermediate piece 20 comprises a lower section 20a and an upper section 20b, the upper section 20b being provided to interact with the connecting means 12 of the extraction part 27 in the manner of a bayonet connection or in the manner of a screw connection. The upper section 20b is therefore designed in the shape of a cylinder, the outer radius essentially corresponding to the inner radius of the cylinder 12 . The channel of the intermediate piece does not necessarily have to have a round cross section.

The lower section 20a is provided in order to connect the intermediate piece 20 to the container, in particular a bag, for receiving the tissues. The connection is made in such a way that it cannot be detached by means of an adhesive connection or a welded connection. For this purpose, the lower section 20a has an outer outer wall 23 against which a section of the bag can be placed and connected to the intermediate piece. The outer profile of the lower section 20a here has a substantially oval or elliptical shape, as shown in FIG 7 shown, which is advantageous in terms of the connection of the intermediate piece with the bag.

A radial and circumferential projection is provided between the upper section 20b and the lower section 20a or above the lower section 20a, on which the lower edge of the cylinder 12 comes to rest.

7 shows an intermediate piece 20 in a view from above. In particular, the oval or elliptical shape of the lower section 20a of the intermediate piece 20 can be seen here, while the upper section 20b has a circular profile. However, the lower section 20a of the intermediate piece 20 can also have a different shape. However, it is advantageous if the lower section 20a tapers towards two opposite sides in order to enable simple gluing or welding to the bag.

8 shows a tissue dispenser according to the invention with an intermediate piece 20 and a removal device 10 that can be attached to the intermediate piece.

After introducing the wipes or wet wipes 30 and, if necessary, a disinfectant solution into the bag B, the bag is closed at the end sections 41, which form the opening for inserting the wipes, for example by gluing or welding the opposite end sections 41. When closing the bag B, the lower section 20a of the intermediate piece 20 is arranged between the end sections 41 so that two opposite sections of the end sections 41 rest on the lower section 20a and can be glued or welded to the lower section 20a. The shape of the lower section 20a, which tapers on both sides, enables a smooth transition between the sections of the end sections 41 on the lower section 20a and the sections of the end sections 41 that are welded or glued to one another, which results in airtight and watertight gluing or welding in the area of the transition simplified. In addition, the entire packaging process is significantly accelerated.

After the bag B has been closed and the intermediate piece 20 has been inserted into the opening of the bag, the extraction part 27 of the extraction device 10 is connected to the upper section 20b of the intermediate piece 20 by means of a bayonet or screw connection. The cloth can now be pulled through the intermediate piece 20 and the opening 11 of the removal part 27 .

The bag B can be configured as a stand-up bag that has a stable bottom to allow the bag to stand up. The bag can be made from a plastic or from a plastic-metal composite, such as PET-aluminium. Preferably, the upper section 41 of the bag, i.e. in the area of the opening, is designed in such a way that these upper sections can be welded or glued to one another or to the lower section 20a of the intermediate piece.

Because a bag is used as the container, the entire tissue dispenser can be manufactured using less material and can be disposed of in a simpler, more space-saving and environmentally friendly manner. Due to the detachable arrangement of the extraction device 10 on the intermediate piece 20, the extraction device can be disposed of separately from the bag with intermediate pieces. The towel dispenser according to the invention is therefore particularly suitable for use as a disposable towel dispenser. Another advantage is that empty tissue dispensers can be stored and transported in a space-saving manner.

Due to the detachable arrangement of the removal device 10 on the intermediate piece 20, the towel dispenser according to the invention can also be used as a reusable towel dispenser. In order to refill the wipes dispenser with new wipes and possibly with a disinfectant solution, the removal device 10 can be removed from the intermediate piece and then attached to the intermediate piece again. This is particularly advantageous when possible contamination due to refilling plays no or only a minor role.

9 shows a removal system in a perspective view and a mounting frame of a removal system in a sectional view along the section axis AA, where the in 9 removal system shown and the mounting frame shown is only intended to facilitate understanding of the invention.

The removal system essentially comprises a removal device 10 and a fastening frame 20, wherein the removal device 10 can be fastened to the fastening frame 20.

The removal device 10 has an outer wall 13 which, in the case of FIG 9 shown embodiment forms a hollow cylinder with a substantially rectangular base. The outer wall 13 has a certain height. On a side wall of the outer wall 13, a cover 15 is pivoted at the upper edge of the side wall, so that the cavity formed by the outer wall 13 can be closed with the cover 15 from above. The outer wall 13 has a certain thickness, a circumferential groove being provided on the upper edge of the outer wall 13, into which a circumferential spring provided on the cover 15 can be brought into engagement. Of course, other fastening means can also be provided in order to hold the cover 15 in place on the outer wall 13 in the closed state.

A base 16 is arranged on the underside of the outer wall 13 or on the side of the removal device 10 opposite the cover 15 , which has a first removal opening 11 , the removal opening 11 being arranged inside the outer wall 13 .

The removal device 10 also has a tear-off and/or retaining means 14, with the in 9 shown embodiment of the removal device, the tear-off and / or retaining means are arranged in the plane of the first removal opening 11 and protrude into the first removal opening 11. The tear-off and/or retaining means are provided in order to facilitate the removal of a towel by using the tear-off means 14 to support the removal of the towels. Furthermore, the retaining means 14 prevent the loose end of the tissue remaining in the dispenser from being able to slide back into the container of the wet tissue dispenser after a tissue has been removed. To support the tearing process and to hold the loose At the end of the tissue remaining in the container, the tear-off and/or retaining means 14 have radial slits which taper radially inwards.

After a tissue to be removed from the dispenser is torn off, the loose end of the tissue remaining in the dispenser is held in the slot 14a. The cover 15 can be closed after removal so that the loose end of the cloth is in the cavity formed by the outer wall 13 .

The removal device 10 can be produced in one piece, in particular as an injection molded part. For example, a plastic can be used to produce the removal device 10 . Alternatively, a biodegradable material, in particular material comprising cornmeal or potato starch, can also be used to produce the removal device.

The first removal opening 11 of the removal device 10 is essentially rectangular in shape, with the tear-off and/or retaining means being arranged on one side of the removal opening 11 .

The mounting frame 20 has a base in which a second removal opening 21 is provided, which has a substantially rectangular shape. On the top of the floor, i.e. on the side of the floor that faces the removal device 10 when the removal system is used, there are fastening means 22 which cooperate with the fastening means 12 of the removal device 10 in order to fasten the removal device 10 to the mounting frame.

The at least partially encircling fastening groove 22 and the base of the fastening frame are arranged or designed relative to one another such that the base protrudes on all sides around the fastening means 22, so that the part of the base protruding beyond the fastening means 22 forms a circumferential fastening edge 23, on which a Container for receiving the wipes is attached. The canister may be welded to the peripheral attachment rim 23, such as with reference to FIG Figure 16b shown.

The fastening frame 20 can be produced in one piece, in particular as an injection molded part. A plastic, for example, or alternatively a biodegradable material can be used for production.

The first removal opening 11 of the removal device 10 and the second removal opening 21 of the fastening frame 20 can also have a different shape, for example a circular shape, instead of a rectangular shape. Irrespective of the specific shape of the removal openings 11, 21, it is advantageous according to the invention if the first removal opening 11 of the removal device 10 has a smaller, preferably significantly smaller area than the second removal opening 21 of the fastening frame 20. This ensures that filling or emptying is easy The container can be refilled by releasing the removal device 10 from the mounting frame 20 so that the larger, second removal opening 21 is released.

After the removal device 10 has been connected to the fastening frame 20, the towels can only be removed via the smaller, first removal opening 11 of the removal device 10, so that contamination of the towels remaining in the dispenser is largely avoided. The base 16 or the first removal opening 11 of the removal device are accordingly designed in such a way that the base 16 at least partially covers the second removal opening 21 of the fastening frame 20 . In an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the two removal openings 11 , 21 can be configured such that the first removal opening 11 is arranged coaxially to the second removal opening 21 in the case of a removal device 10 fastened to the fastening frame 20 .

10 Figure 12 shows a reference example for a sampling system in a perspective view, with the lid 15 of the sampling device 10 being closed.

11 shows a reference example for a removal system in a plan view to illustrate the assembly process of the removal device 10 on the mounting frame 20.

As in 11 shown, the removal device 10 is fed to the fastening frame 20 in the direction of the arrow P along the longitudinal axis LA of the fastening frame 20, so that, as in FIG 12 shown, the fastening spring 12 of the removal device 10 is brought into engagement with the fastening groove 22 of the fastening frame 20.

13 FIG. 12 shows a reference example for a removal system in a plan view, wherein in figure (a) a removal device 10 is shown partially pushed onto the mounting frame 20, which is moved along the mounting groove 22 in the direction of arrow P to complete the assembly process.

A completed assembly process or a fully assembled extraction system is shown in figure (b). 13 shown. The removal device 10 has here been pushed onto the fastening frame 20 in the direction of the arrow P until one side of the removal device 10 comes into abutment with the fastening groove 22 . It can be seen here that the bottom of the removal device 10 protrudes into the second removal opening 21 so that ultimately only the first removal opening 11 of the removal device 10 is available for removing the wet wipes.

14 shows a removal system in a view from below, with the removal device 10 being pushed completely onto the fastening frame 20, the in 14 Removal system shown is only intended to facilitate understanding of the invention. It can be seen particularly well here that the first removal opening 11 of the removal device 10 is smaller than the second removal opening 21 of the fastening frame 20 because the base of the removal device 10 protrudes into the second removal opening 21 .

15 shows a mounting frame 20 of a removal system, wherein the 15 Mounting frame shown is only intended to facilitate understanding of the invention.

The fastening frame 20 has a closure tab 24 which completely covers or closes the second removal opening 21 . The closure tab 24 can serve as an originality closure or originality seal in order to signal to the end user that the fastening frame 20 is being opened for the first time. Furthermore, will in this case, after the first filling of the container with wipes or disinfectant and after the attachment of the fastening frame 20 in the opening of the container, ensures that the container is sealed to a large extent in an airtight and/or fluid-tight manner. In addition, it is ensured that contamination of the content is avoided throughout the entire production and/or supply chain.

The closure tab 24 is arranged in the second removal opening 21 and connected all the way around to the edge of the removal opening 21, a predetermined breaking point 26 being formed on the edge of the removal opening 21, along which the closure tab 24 can be torn open and then removed from the fastening frame 20. For easier handling of the closure tab 24, a pull tab 25 can be arranged on it, which can be pulled to remove the closure tab 24. After the closure flap 24 has been removed, the first removal opening 21 of the fastening frame 20 is completely exposed, so that the wipes held in the wipes dispenser can be removed through the removal opening 21 .

The fastening frame 20 with the closure tab 24 arranged thereon can be produced in one piece, for example as an injection molded part.

In a further advantageous embodiment of the removal system according to the invention, provision can be made for the removal device 10 and/or the cover 15 arranged on the removal device 10 to be provided in different colors so that the color of the removal device or the color of the cover is used to signal the end user which wipes and/or which disinfectants are included in the wipes dispenser, for which locations the wipes dispenser is intended or which range of effects the wipes or disinfectants have. For this purpose, a removal system set can be provided according to the invention, which comprises at least one fastening frame 20 and a number of different colored removal devices 10 .

Figure 16b shows an embodiment of a tissue dispenser, wherein the Figure 16b tissue dispenser shown is only intended to facilitate understanding of the invention.

Figure (b) shows an embodiment of a wipes dispenser, a stand-up pouch made of a flexible material being shown here as the container for holding the wipes, wet wipes or disinfectants. The fastening frame 20 according to the invention is fastened to the opening of the stand-up pouch B, the edge of the opening of the stand-up pouch being fastened to the circumferential fastening edge 23 of the fastening frame 20 in the embodiment shown in figure (b). The edge of the stand-up pouch is attached to the peripheral attachment edge 23 by welding or by gluing.

Instead of a stand-up pouch, flat pouches, tubular pouches or the like can also be used.

17 Figure 12 shows a reference example for a sampling system, where in figure (a) the sampling system is shown in a perspective view and in figure (b) the sampling system is shown in a plan view.

The basic structure of the extraction device 10 and the fastening frame 20 of the extraction system essentially corresponds to the structure of Figures 9 to 14 shown extraction system. The main difference of the extraction system according to 17 The removal system described above consists in that the at least partially circumferential fastening groove 22 of the fastening frame 20 has a number of recesses 22a in each of two opposite sections, and that the at least partially circumferential fastening spring 12 of the removal device 10 also has a number of recesses in two opposite sections 12a, the recesses 12a of the fastening spring 12 forming sections 12b of the fastening spring 12 which can be brought into engagement with the recesses 22a of the fastening groove 22.

When attaching the extraction device 10 to the attachment frame 20, the distance for sliding the extraction device 10 onto the attachment frame 20 can be significantly shortened.

The width b2 of the recesses 22a of the fastening groove 22 essentially corresponds to the width b1 of the sections 12b of the fastening spring 12, so that the sections 12b can be engaged in the recesses 22a. In one embodiment, the recesses 22a can each have a different width b2, with the corresponding sections 12b of the fastening spring 12 then also each having a corresponding width b1. However, the width b1 of the sections 12b of the fastening spring 12 can also be significantly smaller than the width b2 of the corresponding cutouts 22a of the fastening groove 22. It must only be ensured that the section 12b of the fastening spring which corresponds to a cutout 22a or is associated with a cutout 22a 12 is not wider than the corresponding recess of the fastening groove.

At the in 17 In the embodiment shown, four recesses 22a are provided on the two opposite sections of the fastening groove, and four sections 12b are accordingly provided on the opposite sections of the fastening spring 12. However, more or fewer recesses 22a in the fastening groove 22 and accordingly also more or fewer sections 12b of the fastening spring 12 can also be provided. In addition, it can be provided that one section of the fastening groove has more or fewer recesses 22a than the opposite section of the fastening groove. In addition, the recesses 22a of a section of the fastening groove can be arranged offset to the sections 22a of the opposite section of the fastening groove 22 .

At the in 17 In the embodiment shown, the partially circumferential fastening groove 22 is essentially U-shaped, with the fastening groove being open on one side, so that the removal device 10 can be pushed into the fastening groove 22 of the fastening frame 20 from this side, as shown in figure (b). the arrow P clarifies.

If recesses 22a are provided in the fastening frame 20 for the sections 12b of the fastening spring of the removal device, the fastening frame 20 can also be designed as a peripheral fastening frame 20, with recesses 22a being provided on two opposite sections of the fastening groove are and no recesses have to be provided on the other two opposing sections of the fastening groove.

The recesses are provided on the mounting groove 22 so as to be located on an upper side wall of the mounting groove 22 to thereby allow access to the mounting groove from above.

18 shows a perspective view of a removal device 10 used in the mounting frame 20 of a reference example.

The fastening frame 20 here also has cutouts 22a on the two opposing sections, into which corresponding sections 12b of the fastening spring 12 of the removal device 10 are brought into engagement. For this purpose, the removal device 10 only has to be placed onto the fastening frame 20 from above in such a way that the sections 12b of the fastening spring 12 of the removal device 10 correspond to the recesses 22a of the fastening groove 22 of the fastening frame 20 . The removal device 10 can then be pushed down so that the sections 12b of the fastening spring 12 engage in the cutout 22a of the fastening groove 22 . As soon as the sections 12b of the fastening spring 12 are level with the circumferential groove, the extraction device 10 can be displaced in the direction of the arrow P relative to the fastening frame until the fastening spring 12 comes into abutment with the fastening groove 22 . When moving, only the distance d has to be covered, which is significantly less than the distance d2 that would have to be covered if the removal device 10 were pushed into the fastening groove 22 from the side. As a result, the removal device 10 can be mounted more quickly on the fastening frame 20 for the first time or the removal device 10 can be replaced more quickly.

Also at the in 17 and 18 shown embodiment of the reference example of the extraction system can be provided on the fastening spring 12 and / or on the fastening groove 22 latching means that prevent unintentional release of the removal device 10 from the mounting frame 20.

Instead of the removal device 10, a cover plate can also be slid onto the mounting frame 20 in the reference example, for example to close the second removal opening 21 of the mounting frame 20, for example when a dispenser system that is in use has to be transported. It is advantageous here if a sealing element, for example a rubber ring, is provided on the underside of the cover plate, which is arranged circumferentially around the second removal opening 21 after the cover plate has been completely pushed on, in order to enable airtight and/or fluid-tight sealing, for example. Such a cover plate can also be secured against unintentional loosening by means of locking means.

19 shows an alternative embodiment of a withdrawal system, wherein the 19 Removal system shown is only intended to facilitate understanding of the invention. The removal device 10 (shown here without cover 15) is placed on the mounting frame 20 so that the mounting springs 12 engage in the openings provided for this purpose on the mounting frame 20, with the mounting spring 12 being designed in such a way that in the upper area of the funnel-shaped Removal device is provided with an external thread, which corresponds to a corresponding internal thread at the opening of the mounting frame.

As in 19 shown, the fastening springs 12 are arranged in the region of the upper end of the side wall of the removal device, so that after the removal device has been attached to the mounting frame, the slightly funnel-shaped removal device protrudes into the interior of the container. This avoids parts of the removal system protruding from the container.

A pull tab may be disposed on the locking tab for removing the locking tab from the mounting frame.

The first removal opening and the second removal opening can be of essentially rectangular configuration, with the first removal opening having a smaller width and/or a smaller length than the second removal opening. Even with a non-rectangular design of the first and/or second removal opening, it is advantageous if the first removal opening is designed smaller than the second removal opening, i.e. that the first removal opening has a significantly smaller area than the second removal opening.

This ensures that the second, larger removal opening of the fastening frame is covered by the first, smaller removal opening of the removal device so that a cloth is removed through the smaller removal opening, which largely prevents contamination of the remaining cloths. To refill the dispenser, the removal device can be removed so that the larger removal opening of the mounting frame is available for filling.

The mounting frame or the removal device can be designed in one piece, in particular as an injection molded part.

In an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the fastening frame and/or the removal device can be made of a biodegradable material, in particular material containing cornmeal or potato starch.
