FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the dispenser 10 according to the invention in a front view. In the dispenser 10 can be stored on a hohlzylind-cylindrical roll 32 wound unwindable cleaning cloth 30. This may in particular be a commercially available, dry toilet paper wound on a paperboard roll, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3.

The dispenser 10 has a housing 18, with a rear cover and an opposite side of the rear cover, which is formed by a first cover 22. FIG. 1 shows a plan view of the front side of the dispenser 10 formed by the first cover 22. The first cover 22, which completely covers the interior of the dispenser 10, is pivotably connected to the housing 18 via a hinge 23 and can be opened manually and shut down. With the rear cover of the dispenser 10, a holder 12 is connected, which is designed as a hollow cylinder. The outer diameter of the holder 12 is slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the roller 32 of the cleaning cloth 30. The peripheral part of the housing 18 as well as the holder 12 is fixedly connected to the rear cover. The dispenser 10 also has on the bottom feet 16 so that it can be parked on the ground. In addition, a handle (not shown) may be provided, which may be designed, for example, folded out. Furthermore, fastening means (not shown) are provided, by means of which the dispenser 10 can be fixed to a wall, for example by means of screws. Thus, the dispenser 10 according to the invention can both be taken and used on the move, as well as in the usual way stationary, for example in the sanitary area, are used. The dispenser 10 or its housing 18, cover 22, 24 and / or holder 12 may for example consist of metal, stainless steel, plastic or plastic.

To enter the cleaning cloth 30 in the dispenser 10, the hollow cylindrical roller 32 of the cleaning cloth 30 is pushed onto the holder 12 and can be rotated thereon. The torn off side of the cleaning cloth 30 is thereby guided by the interior of the dispenser 10 through an opening provided in the housing 18 slot-like opening 20 to the outside. By pulling on the guided through the opening 20 side of the cleaning cloth 30 this can be unwound. For the purpose of tear-off, transverse perforations are usually provided for the unwinding direction, which divide the cleaning cloth 30 into several sections.

In the cavity 13 of the holder 12, one or more wet wipes can be stored, which can be removed or refilled on the open side opposite the rear cover. In order not to have to open and close the large first lid 22 each time the wet wipes are removed, the first lid 22 has an opening which is covered by a second lid 24. The second cover 24 can also be opened and closed manually and is pivotally mounted on the first cover 22 via a further hinge 25. The cover covered by the second cover 24 completely covers the opening of the hollow cylindrical holder 12 when the first cover 22 is closed. Thus, wet wipes can be taken from the holder 12 by opening or closing only the smaller second cover 24. The larger first cover 22 only needs to be opened to replace the cleaning cloth 30 become. By covering the cavity 13 of the holder 12 by means of the two-th cover 24 drying of the wet wipes is effectively avoided.

In the embodiment shown here, however, the shape of the housing 18 deviates from the cylindrical shape of the wound-up cleaning cloth 30. In the upper corner regions, the housing 18 is designed deviating from a circular shape, so that me two Zwischenräu 26 arise. These intermediate spaces 26 can be used as additional storage space for a wide variety of goods, in particular hygiene articles such as tampons. Deviating from the form illustrated here, however, any shape deviating from the cylindrical shape of the housing 18 can be provided in order to create additional storage space. It is also conceivable to provide additional compartments, drawers and the like on or in the dispenser 10. For the sake of clarity, the first and second covers 22, 24 are shown schematically only over their edges, so that the one stored in the dispenser 10 Cleaning cloth 30 together with its rotatably mounted on the holder 12 roller 32 can recognize. FIG. 4 shows an embodiment of the roll 40 according to the invention for a cleaning cloth 42 which can be unwound thereon in a front view. The cleaning cloth 42 may be, for example, commercial dry toilet paper as described above. The roller 40 is hollow cylindrical shaped and closed at a rear side so that it has only one front open side. Within the cavity of the roller 40, a hollow cylindrical core member 44 is arranged parallel to the longitudinal axis of the roller 40 centrally. The core member 44 is open on both sides. The rear opening in this case points through the closed rear side of the roller 40, so that the intermediate space 43 between the outside of the core element 44 and the inside of the roller 40 is closed at the rear and open at the front. In this space 43 are wet wipes stored, which can be removed through the front open side. The core element 44 is rigidly connected to the roller 40 by means of two connecting elements 46.

Characterized in that the core member 44 is open on both sides, it takes the position of the paperboard in commercial toilet paper. About the open core member 44, the roller 40 according to the invention is suspended or rotatably mounted on a holder or dispenser, so that the cleaning cloth 42 can be unwound. So that the wet wipes do not dry out in the intermediate space 43, a cover, not shown here, is provided, which closes the open front side of the intermediate space 43 and can be opened or closed manually. The lid may for example consist of plastic.

The roller 40 is made of a liquid-repellent material, for example of plastic, so that moisture can not reach the dry cleaning cloth 42. It may consist of the same material as the core element 44. However, it is also conceivable that the roller 40 in the usual way of cardboard, preferably from inside with a liquid-repellent layer covered cardboard, is.

Preferably, the roll 40 according to the invention is used as a disposable article. The user thus receives two frequently purchased or used hygiene articles in a single product.

5 shows an embodiment of the cleaning cloth 60 according to the invention is shown schematically in a side view. The cleaning cloth 60 is wound on a roll (not shown) so that it can be used in the same way as commercial toilet paper. It consists of three superimposed, parallel and substantially completely covering strip-shaped layers 62, 64, 66. One of the outer layers 62 is designed as a dry toilet paper, whereas the other outer layer 64 is designed as a wet wipe. Between these two outer layers 62, 64 a liquid keitsabweisende and biodegradable first liner 66 is disposed, which prevents moisture from passing from the moist outer layer 64 to the dry outer layer 62.

All three layers 62, 64, 66 have transverse to the longitudinal direction of the cleaning cloth 60 (soft also defines the unwinding) on the entire width of the cleaning cloth 60 extending perforations 68. These perforations 68 divide the cleaning cloth 60 along the longitudinal direction into a plurality of tear-off portions 70. Further, the three layers 62, 64, 66 are connected to one another at the edge regions. As a result, after the demolition of a section 70 of the cleaning cloth 60, a continuous layer 72 with a moist and a dry side 62, 64 is available.

In order that the wet outer layer 64 of one layer does not moisten the dry outer layer 62 of the adjacent layer 72 when the cleaning cloth 60 is wound on a roll, a second liquid-repellent and biodegradable intermediate layer 74 is provided which is arranged between the individual layers 72 of the cleaning fabric 60. The second intermediate layer 74 likewise has perforations (not illustrated) which may be arranged identically or offset relative to the perforations of the individual layers 72. The first and second intermediate layer 66, 72 may be made of baking paper, for example.
