Definitions
- the present invention relates to articles using separable fastening elements. More particularly, this invention is concerned with packages that utilize such elements in combination.
- This invention relates to a resealable package comprising separable fastening elements. It is particularly intended for use in the packaging of wipes, such as wet wipes and hard surface cleansing wipes, but it is to be understood that the invention is also applicable to the packaging of other articles.
- Wet wipes are articles in the form of sheets which may be impregnated with compositions such as a skin-cleansing liquid or a hard-surface cleansing liquid, and which may be intended to be disposed of after a single use.
- Wet wipes may generally be packaged in a package containing a plurality of wet wipes.
- Wet wipes may be packaged in hard-bodied containers for consumer use.
- the hard-body containers may be reusable, thus additional wipes may be packaged into refill packages.
- Wet wipes in refill packages may be packaged in soft-bodied packages.
- the refill packages may not always include an opening to facilitate the withdrawal of an individual wet wipe.
- the soft-bodied package may instead require the consumer to rely on the reusable hard-bodied container and fully open the soft-bodied package, remove all of the wet wipes and place those wet wipes into a hard-bodied container. If the wet wipes are not placed into a hard-bodied container, the lotion impregnating the wet wipes may dry out.
- soft-bodied packages may comprise an opening that may facilitate the removal of an individual wipe.
- Soft-bodied packages that do comprise an opening to facilitate the removal of an individual wipe may face a problem of how to reseal the opening to prevent moisture loss. The wipes may dry out unless the package can be properly resealed after each wipe is removed.
- One response to this problem has been to place the entire soft-body package into a hard-body container.
- Another response has been to provide the soft-bodied package with a hard-body covering over the opening. This approach may increase the complexity in the manufacture of the packages.
- a third response has been to provide a soft closure flap to the package that remains closed over the opening with the help of adhesives.
- a disadvantage of adhesives, and other devices which employ conventional tacky or sticky surfaces to create a separable bond between two articles may be that such surfaces can be prone to contamination. Such contamination may be caused by, among other things, dirt, lint, dust, lotions, moisture, and the like, all of which tend to reduce the adhesive properties of the fastener. Eventually this loss of the adhesive may result in the rendering of the fastener unsuitable for its intended purpose.
- Wet wipes packaged in a soft-bodied package may also be packaged in an interleaved configuration.
- the interleaved configuration allows for one wipe to pop-up out of the package following the removal of a prior wipe.
- the pop-up of a wipe may allow for easier removal of a wipe from the package as the user does not have to reach into the package to retrieve the wipe.
- Pop-up of a wet wipe in a package with a resealable closure flap may make resealing the package difficult as the lotion from the wet wipe may contaminate the adhesive on the closure flap if the edge of the wet wipe that has popped up out of the package is not placed back into the package and stored away from the adhesive on the closure flap.
- Providing the soft-bodied package with an appropriately sized and designed closure flap may compensate for contamination of the adhesive by the lotion.
- An appropriately sized closure flap may allow for multiple locations on which to place resealable fastening elements which may be adhesives, mechanical or magnetic fastening elements.
- An appropriately sized closure flap may allow for resealable fastening elements to be placed outside a radius of possible contamination by the articles located within the package. Therefore, an appropriately sized closure flap may allow a user to refrain from pushing a wipe that has popped up from the package back into the package. This may further allow a user to refrain from contaminating a wipe with their finger if they were to attempt to push a popped-up wipe back into the package.
- An appropriately sized closure flap may also reduce and/or prevent loss of moisture from the package.
- Am appropriately sized closure flap may also reduce contamination of the wipes located within the package by providing a sufficient barrier against the introduction of contaminants such as, but not limited to, dirt, lint, dust, lotions, moisture, and the like. It would be desirable to provide a package with separable fastening elements that may significantly reduce or eliminate moisture loss. It would be desirable to provide a package with separable fastening elements that may withstand contamination and continue to provide the package with an adequate fastening system. It would be desirable to provide a closure flap for a soft-bodied package that may reliably reseal the package regardless of the articles contained therein.
- closure flap for a soft-bodied package that may be used in combination with separable fastening elements that may reduce and/or prevent moisture loss from the package. It would be desirable to provide a closure flap for a soft-bodied package sufficient in size such that if moisture contamination does occur, there may be multiple regions in which to place separable fastening elements, thereby continuing the reduction and/or prevention of moisture loss from the package.
- a package formed substantially of flexible sheet material and having a defined article receiving cavity.
- the flexible sheet material has a face in which is defined a dispensing opening.
- a flexible closure flap may be attached to the flexible sheet material.
- the closure flap may cover the dispensing opening of the package when the package is in a closed configuration.
- the closure flap may comprise an area that is at least about four times greater than the area comprising the dispensing opening.
- the package may contain a plurality of wet wipes that are folded in an interleaved configuration.
- closure flap may comprise an area that is at least about six times greater than the area of the dispensing opening. In yet another embodiment, the closure flap may comprise an area that is at least about eight times greater than the area of the dispensing opening.
- the closure flap may comprise at least one resealable fastening element selected from the group consisting of adhesives, mechanical fastening elements, magnetic members, and combinations thereof.
- the flexible sheet material of the package may comprise at least one resealable fastening element selecting from the group consisting of adhesives, mechanical fastening elements, magnetic members, and combinations thereof.
- the package may comprise regions of reinforcement.
- the package may comprise at least one graphic. In yet another embodiment, the package may comprise at least two graphics. The graphics may be registered to provide for coordination of the graphics.
- the package of the present invention may experience a moisture loss of less than 10 grams per 200 hours. In another embodiment, the package may experience a moisture loss of less than 8 grams per 200 hours, hi yet another embodiment, the package may experience a moisture loss of less than 6 grams per 200 hours.

- Figure 3 exemplifies an embodiment in which the closure flap 50 may be coated with an adhesive 62 on the bottom surface 54 of the closure flap 50. This may be used in combination with a second separable fastening element such as an adhesive 64 located on the top wall 32 of the package 20. As shown in Figure 3, adhesives 62 and 64 cover essentially the entire surface under the closure flap 50 when it is in a closed configuration. In an alternate embodiment (not shown), the adhesive may be disposed along the edge of the closure flap 50 or about the periphery of opening 10, etc. Examples of suitable commercial material for use as adhesives 62 and 64 may be acrylic-based or rubber-based adhesives.

- the top wall 32 of the package 20 may comprise magnetic member 72.
- Figure 12 exemplifies that, optionally, a package 20 made according to the present invention may also comprise one or more graphics 75.
- the graphics 75 may comprise any word, number, text, picture, drawing, object, human character, anthropomorphic character and combination thereof.
- the graphics 75 may be in any location on the flexible sheet material 40 of the package 20 and the closure flap 50.
- the graphics 75 maybe located on the flexible sheet material 40 forming the body 30 of the package 20, the closure flap 50 and a combination thereof. If the graphics 75 are located on both the body 30 of the package 20 and the closure flap 50, the graphics 75 may be placed in an overlapping manner such that the graphics 75 may be coordinated.
- Graphics 75 may be coordinated in such a manner as to provide feedback to the user such that the user knows the package 20 is closed properly when the graphics 75 are in alignment.
- the graphics 75 may be registered to provide coordination among the graphics 75.
- the graphics 75 on the closure flap 50 may be different from any graphics 75 on the flexible sheet material 40 of the body 30 of the package 20.
- the graphics 75 on the closure flap 50 and the graphics on the body of the package 20 may interrelate with each other such that one scene is depicted on the closure flap 50 and a second, related scene is depicted on the body 30 of the package 20.
- the graphics 75 may be oriented on the package 20 in order to signal left-handed use, right-handed use, and ambidextrous use of the package 20.
- a separable fastening element system may be utilized in order to reduce or eliminate moisture loss from a package typically seen with a single reclosable fastener.
- Moisture loss may be measured under the Evaluation of Moisture Loss Test.
- a package of the present invention may experience a moisture loss of less than about 10 grams per 200 hours. In another embodiment, a package of the present invention may experience a moisture loss of less than about 8 grams per 200 hours, hi yet another embodiment, a package of the present invention may experience a moisture loss of less than about 6 grams per 200 hours, hi yet a further embodiment, a package of the present invention may experience a moisture loss of less than about 4 grams per 200 hours. Test Methods
- the Stiffness of Fabric Test is ran for purpose of the present specification is a modification of the Stiffness of Fabric Test by Circular bend as described in the ASTM D 4032-94. (hereby incorporated by reference).
- the Stiffness of Fabric Test for purposes of the present specification is conducted as follows:
- a pusher-ball forces a swatch of material through an orifice in a platform.
- the maximum force required to push the fabric through the orifice is an indication of the material's stiffness (resistance to bending).
- Circular Bend Stiffness Tester having the following parts:
- the bottom of the pusher-ball plunger should be set at 3 mm above the top of the orifice plate. From this position, the downward stroke length is 57 mm.
- Dial gages with maximum reading pointer in different capacities ranging from 1 to 50 lbf, 0.5 to 25 kgf, or 5 to 200 N with 100 graduations minimum; or Digital gage with maximum reading "hold” feature and capacity of 100 lbf, 50 kgf, or 500 N, with 1000 graduations minimum.
- Actuator manual or pneumatic.
- Stop Watch for checking stroke speed. Number and Preparation of Test Specimens
- specimen marking template specified above mark and cut five test specimens from staggered areas of each swatch of material to be tested. It will be appreciated that it may not be practical or possible to obtain all samples from a particular swatch (or particular product if the material is only available as incorporated into a product). In such a case, it is acceptable to take samples from multiple products or swatches. Samples with bonded, seals, seams or the like should be avoided. Lay each specimen flat to form a square 102 by 102 mm. Handling of specimens should be kept to a minimum and to the edges to avoid affecting stiffness properties.
- Conditioning Store the samples for 8 hours or more at 23 0 C and 50% relative humidity.
- Pneumatic Actuator Set the air pressure control to the actuator at 324 kPa. Using a stopwatch, adjust the pneumatics to provide plunger speed of 1.7 ⁇ 0.15 s under no load conditions.
- the clearance may be increased to 6.3 mm maximum. In reporting, the results should indicate the pusher-ball clearance, if not standard. Check the gage zero and adjust, if necessary.
- test method is a modification of ASTM D-3079 (Standard Test Method for Water Vapor Transmission of Flexible Heat-Sealed Packages for Dry Products)(hereby incorporated by reference).
- Scope This test method covers the determination of the amount of moisture vapor loss for packages containing wet wipes during simulated use.
- Test Specimens Packages are manufactured and loaded by hand using 72ct Pampers Sensitive wipes currently available on the market at the time of filing. Specimens that are damaged during the study are excluded from cumulative moisture loss calculations.
