Definitions

  • the invention pertains to a dispensing container for wiping material in roll form, the container having a hollow container body with a body wall and two opposing end walls and comprises means for dispensing of wiping material from a roll placed in the dispensing container.
  • Containers for roll products commonly consist of a square box in which the roll product is enclosed.
  • the container is also a dispenser for the roll product and is typically provided with a top center-feed feature allowing dispensing of individual wipes from the roll of wiping material at a single count repetition.
  • a dispensing container for wiping material in roll form having a hollow container body with a body wall and two opposing end walls and comprising means for dispensing of wiping material from a roll placed in the dispensing container, characterized in that each end wall has polygonal shape with at least five sides and not more than ten sides, the main body wall conforming to the shape of the end walls and being divided by folds into a number of wall panels corresponding to the number of sides of each the end wall, and the dispensing container being provided with a peripheral feed dispensing opening in the main wall and a center feed dispensing opening in an end wall.
  • the dispensing openings are usually created just before a first wipe or length of wiping material is to be removed from the dispensing container by tearing away a seal or removing a part of the container wall along a pre-fabricated tearing line such as a perforation line.
  • the dispensing containers of the invention have a regular polyhedral prism shape with polygonal end surfaces, the end surfaces having five to ten sides, preferably five to eight sides or most preferably six to eight sides.
  • the dispensing container body may, for instance, have octahedral shape with octagonal end walls, referred to herein as "an octagonal dispensing container".
  • the corners in an octagonal dispensing container have eight subtle 135° angles while a conventional rectangular container has four sharp 90° angles.
  • the obtuse angles of the octagonal container more closely mimic the shape of the roll product, allowing the roll to spin easily inside the container.
  • the dispensing container is assembled and a roll product is placed in the container, the roll product is always resting on a flat face of the container regardless of whether the dispensing container is stood on one of the end walls or is laid down on a horizontal surface.
  • the octagonal container offers multiple dispensing options allowing a user to choose whether to employ the center-feed dispensing opening or the peripheral side-feed dispensing opening.
  • the wiping material may be dispensed in any desired amount and will be delivered in a flat, non-wrinkled and appealing form from the side of the container.
  • Center feed dispensing may be suitable for situations where single sheets of wiping material are to be dispensed in a controlled and exact manner.
  • Peripheral feed dispensing may be suitable when greater lengths of material are needed and in particular when there is a desire for speedy dispensing.
  • a user may also select an optimal mode of dispensing depending on whether the dispensing container is hanging on a wall, lying or standing on a surface or is held by a user during dispensing.
  • the dispensing containers described herein may be used in any position such as on a table, on a countertop, on or in a cupboard, on a wall, or hanging from a horizontal surface such as a ceiling or the underside of a cupboard or shelf.
  • the dispensing container may also be held by a user during dispensing of the wiping material in the dispensing container.
  • the dispensing container may be provided with a center feed dispensing opening in each of the end walls.
  • center feed dispensing openings of different shapes such as circular, oval square, star-shaped, drop-shaped, cross-shaped, etc. may be used, key-hole shaped center feed dispensing openings have been found to work particularly well.
  • the dispensing opening in the main wall may be an elongated opening having a first longitudinal edge coinciding with a fold in the container body and a second longitudinal edge located at a distance from the first longitudinal edge in a wall panel of the container body.
  • the width of the dispensing opening is defined as the distance between the first and second longitudinal edges of the dispensing opening.
  • the width of the dispensing opening may vary along the length of the dispensing opening if the second longitudinal edge of the dispensing opening is non-linear. This may be the case, for instance, if the dispensing opening is formed in the container by tearing along a tear line.
  • the second longitudinal edge may be shaped to provide a gripping tab on the portion of the container material inside of the tearing line.
  • the elongated dispensing opening is placed in the main wall such that it extends in the width direction from the straight first longitudinal edge placed at a corner or fold line in the dispensing container body into one of the panels of the main body wall that adjoins the corner or fold. In the length direction, the dispensing opening extends between the end walls of the dispensing container.
  • the dispensing opening may extend the full distance between the end walls of the dispensing container or may extend only a part of the distance between the end walls, such as 60-100% of the distance between the end walls or 75-95% of the distance between the end walls.
  • a roll of wipes may be placed in the dispensing container with a direction of rotation such that peripheral dispensing of the wipes is arranged to take place with the wipes being fed out over the first longitudinal edge of the peripheral feed dispensing opening.
  • the roll of wipes is placed in the dispensing container such that when pulling the peripheral end of the roll out through the dispensing opening the rotational movement imparted to the roll will bring the wiping material to reach the first longitudinal edge of the peripheral feed dispensing opening, before reaching the second longitudinal edge of the peripheral feed dispensing opening as the distance between the peripheral end of the wiping material and the first longitudinal edge of the peripheral feed dispensing opening is less than the distance between the peripheral end of the wiping material and the second longitudinal edge of the peripheral feed dispensing opening in the direction of rotation of the roll of wipes.
  • the first edge of the peripheral feed dispensing opening may be provided with means for facilitating tearing off of a suitable amount of material, such as a serrated edge, or similar.
  • the dispensing container has an inner surface or inside and an outer surface or outside.
  • An end wall in the container may be treated on the inside to reduce friction between the end wall and a roll of wiping material placed in the dispensing container.
  • rotation of the roll of wiping material is made easier when the peripheral feed dispensing option is used for a dispensing container standing on the treated end wall or in any other situation where the roll rotates against one or both end walls during peripheral feed dispensing.
  • the entire inner surface of the dispensing container may be treated to reduce friction between the inner surface of the dispensing container and a roll of wipes placed in the dispensing container.
  • Suitable friction reducing treatments include any kind of treatment that lowers the friction between the surface of the base material of the dispensing container and a roll of wiping material. Such treatments include coating with a friction reducing agent, laminating the base material with a low friction film, siliconized paper, etc.
  • a base material as used herein is implied a material that provides the general shape and structure of the dispensing container.
  • the base material may be any suitable material such as plastic, cardboard, corrugated paper board, laminates, etc. having sufficient rigidity and shape stability in order for the dispensing container to be self supporting under normal conditions of use.
  • the base material would typically be a sheet material in the form of an initially flat blank that is folded and sealed into a three-dimensional container shape. Sealing of the blank may be made by any suitable sealing means or combination of sealing means such as welding, gluing or mechanical interlocking of blank portions with gluing or gluing in combination with mechanical interlocking being preferred sealing methods.
  • the dispensing container When the dispensing container is formed from a flat blank, at least one of the end walls of the dispensing container may comprise overlapping portions of the blank in order to increase rigidity and shape stability of the dispensing container.
  • the overlap may be partial or may comprise the entire end wall. In the latter case, the overlapping portions of the blank have equal shape. Double thickness end walls may also be beneficial for reason of dust-tightness of the dispensing container. Particularly good sealing of the end walls and prevention against dust entering the dispensing container is achieved in a dispensing container where the overlapping end wall portions or panels are folded in over each other from opposite edges on the polygonal end wall.
  • one wall panel of the octahedral container body may be a designated front wall and the diametrically opposite wall panel may be a designated back wall.
  • the peripheral feed dispensing opening may be placed in a wall panel adjoining the designated front panel and means for hanging the dispensing container on a wall may be provided in the back wall.
  • the hanging means may be any suitable hanging means such as one or more holes in the back wall which may co-operate with hooks or pegs on a supporting wall or other surface on which the dispensing container is to be mounted.
  • the back wall is preferably provided with more than one hanging means such as two or more holes.
  • a lifting handle may be arranged in or on the container body wall, the lifting handle for stability reasons preferably being placed in a main body wall panel different from that in which the peripheral feed dispensing opening is placed, such as in the main body wall panel opposite the peripheral feed dispensing opening.
  • a lifting handle may be a hand- sized opening in the container wall and may be formed by complete or partial punching or cutting out of a portion of the container wall material.
  • a handle may also be a separately formed component that has been attached to the dispenser container. It is further conceivable to form a handle from an end panel on the dispenser blank.
  • a handle may be placed at one or both of the end walls of the dispensing container either as an alternative to a handle in or on the body wall or in addition thereto.
  • At least one container body wall panel different from the container body wall panel in which the peripheral feed dispensing opening is placed may be provided with friction enhancing means in order to reduce the tendency of the dispensing container to slide when resting on a planar surface.
  • the wipes or wiping material that is used in the polygonal containers described herein may be any kind of wet or dry wiping material that can be provided in roll form such as household paper, napkins, disposable handkerchiefs, facial tissue, industrial wipes, toilet paper, etc.
  • the material may be a fibrous material of any suitable kind such as cellulose based paper material, with or without admixture of man-made fibres, binders and fillers.
  • the wipes may comprise only man-made fibres. However, it is usually desired that a material for wiping purposes has some degree of absorbency or at least is wettable.
  • the wiping material contains a large proportion of fibres of a hydrophobic character implying that the fibres are non-wettable by aqueous fluids, it may be suitable for wiping oily or greasy surfaces.
  • a hydrophobic material may be treated with a wetting agent in order to make it more hydrophilic.
  • the wiping material may have been further processed by any or all of embossing, perforating, printing and dyeing if desired.
  • the wiping material may be single-ply or may comprise two or more plies of the same or different materials.
