  • BACKGROUND
  • Nearly all surfaces an individual comes into contact with contain billions of bacteria, germs, viruses and pathogens. Although not all of the bacteria, germs, viruses and pathogens are dangerous, only one dangerous virus is needed to plunge the world into a global pandemic. Bacteria, germs, viruses and pathogens are extremely prevalent in public restrooms, as said locations are used by numerous members of the public throughout the day. As a result, bacteria, germs, viruses and pathogens can live on bathroom surfaces such as, but not limited to, toilets, stall doors, toilet paper dispensers, sinks, paper towel dispensers, soap dispensers, etc. After using the restroom, an individual typically washes their hands to kill any bacteria, germs, viruses and pathogens on their hands. However, an individual touches other items and surfaces such as clothing, a watch, a phone, a door, a paper towel dispenser, a soap dispenser, etc. before washing their hands. As a result, the spread of bacteria, germs, viruses and pathogens is not mitigated by existing practices of washing hands.
  • In order to overcome these issues, an individual may carry a plurality of disinfectant wet washes on their person to use in a restroom. However, this is extremely inconvenient as said wet washes take up an unnecessary amount of space in the purse or pockets of a user. Further, a user may not always desire to carry disinfectant wet washes. In addition, disinfectant wet washes are normally saturated with a disinfecting solution and/or may be moist. If the packaging containing the wet washes becomes ripped or damaged, this solution may leak within the pockets, purse, bag, etc., of an individual, which is undesirable.
  • Therefore, there exists a long-felt need in the art for a device that prevents a user from coming into contact with billions of bacteria, germs, viruses and pathogens within a restroom. There also exists a long-felt need in the art for a disinfectant wet wash dispenser device that provides a user with a plurality of disinfectant wet washes within a bathroom, such that a user need not carry disinfectant wet washes themselves.
  • The subject matter disclosed and claimed herein, in one embodiment thereof, comprises a disinfectant wet wash dispenser device. The device is primarily comprised of a body further comprised of a base plate assembly and a front plate assembly, wherein a plurality of disinfecting wet washes are stored within the body. The base plate assembly can further be secured to a wall or other surface, wherein the front plate assembly attaches to the base plate assembly via a lip and a locking assembly that can be locked or unlocked via a specialized key. The front plate assembly further has a top surface that allows a user to pull a single disinfectant wet wash or a plurality of disinfectant wet washes out of the body when needed. In one embodiment, the front plate has a viewing window to allow a user to view the amount of disinfectant wet washes within the device.

  • SUMMARY
  • The following presents a simplified summary in order to provide a basic understanding of some aspects of the disclosed innovation. This summary is not an extensive overview, and it is not intended to identify key/critical elements or to delineate the scope thereof. Its sole purpose is to present some general concepts in a simplified form as a prelude to the more detailed description that is presented later.
  • The subject matter disclosed and claimed herein, in one embodiment thereof, comprises a disinfectant wet wash dispenser device. The device is primarily comprised of body further comprised of a base plate assembly and a front plate assembly, wherein a plurality of disinfecting wet washes are stored within the body. In one potential embodiment, the base plate assembly and front plate assembly are generally rectangular and/or generally square in shape. The base plate assembly is primarily comprised of a top surface, a pair of generally parallel side surfaces, a rear surface and an inside surface, wherein the rear surface may be comprised of at least one fastener to attach to a surface such as, but not limited to, a bathroom stall, a bathroom wall, etc. The inside surface of the base plate assembly is further comprised of a Styrofoam block that acts as a spacer between the inside surface and the rear surface of the front plate assembly. The inside surface may also be comprised of a plurality of indentations and/or openings that receive a locking assembly.
  • The inside surface of the base plate assembly further has a lip that is engaged by a channel on the rear surface of the front plate assembly to allow the front plate assembly to removably attach to the base plate assembly. Once the lip is within the channel, the front plate assembly can be tilted upwards such that the lip cannot escape the channel unless the front plate assembly is lifted upwards and then moved downwards once more into a position perpendicular to the rear plate assembly.
  • To further secure the base plate assembly to the front plate assembly, the device may have a locking assembly that is preferably located on the front surface of the front plate assembly and is also received by at least one indentation and/or opening on the inside surface of the base plate assembly. In one potential embodiment, the locking assembly is a rotating lock that is assisted via a spring and is further comprised of at least one (but preferably two) continuous openings. The lock can further be unlocked using a specialized key that has a flat body with a first end and a second end. The first end is further comprised of at least one (but preferably two) protrusions that can engage the openings of the lock in order to allow a user to rotate and lock/unlock the lock. Additionally, the second end of the key is further comprised of a generally J-shaped hook that can be used to pull a wet wash from the interior of the body. In an alternative embodiment of the device without a locking assembly, the base plate assembly may be secured to the front plate assembly via at least one screw that can be inserted through a threaded or non-threaded opening in the top surface of the base plate assembly. The screw then engages a threaded opening in a tab that extends from the top surface of the front plate assembly.
  • The front plate assembly may also be comprised of a pair of generally parallel side surfaces, a top surface, a front surface and a bottom surface. The top surface is further comprised of a recessed area that receives a retaining plate, wherein the recessed area has a central continuous opening and a plurality of tab openings positioned around the perimeter of the opening. The recessed area further receives a removable retaining plate, wherein the bottom surface of the plate has a plurality of snap tabs that engage the tab openings. As a result, the retaining plate can be snapped onto the recessed area after a plurality of disinfecting wet washes are placed within the body. The plate is further comprised of a plurality of rigid or semi-rigid slitted tabs or flaps which allow at least one wet wash to be pulled from the body, but also prevent all wet washes from being pulled from the body at one time. In one embodiment of the device, the plate and central opening may be sized to receive an existing canister/roll of wet washes known in the art and may feature a peelable adhesive cover that attaches over the flaps and can be removed and discarded prior to use of the device. In this manner, the wet washes remain sanitary until ready for use. A further embodiment of the device may also have a lid that attaches to the top surface via at least one hinge, wherein the lid covers the retaining plate when the device is not in use.
  • The interior space of the body has at least one spring that may be fixedly attached to a top base plate and a bottom base plate. A plurality of wet washes can be placed in a stacked or rolled fashion onto the top base plate such that as multiple wet washes are pulled from the device the spring pushes, i.e. biases, the remaining wet washes upward towards the top surface. In addition, the top base plate may further have a plurality of sidewalls that form a box-like shape that can receive a flexible bag that stores a plurality of wet washes. The side surfaces and/or front surface of the front plate assembly may further be comprised of at least one transparent viewing window that allows a user to check the status of how many wet washes remain within the device at all times.
  • As noted, the wet washes may further be stored within a transparent, collapsible, flexible bag that contains a colored disinfectant solution that kills germs, bacteria, viruses, pathogens, etc. and constantly saturates each wet wash. Because the bag is transparent, the viewing window can be used to also check the status of how much disinfectant solution remains in the bag. Once one wet wash is pulled out from the bag, a second wet wash moves upwards into the position of where the first wet wash was located (similar to a tissue box). Further, a plurality of wet washes can be stored in a stacked fashion or in a roll to achieve this movement pattern.
  • Accordingly, the disinfectant wet wash dispenser device of the present invention is particularly advantageous as it provides a device that prevents a user from coming into contact with billions of bacteria, germs, viruses and pathogens within a restroom. The device also provides a user with a plurality of disinfectant wet washes within a restroom, such that a user need not carry disinfectant wet washes themselves. Therefore, the device increases overall sanitation of a user within a restroom. In this manner, the disinfectant wet wash dispenser device overcomes the limitations of existing methods and practices of disinfection within a restroom known in the art.
