Wipes Dispenser Apparatus and Method

Abstract

A wipes dispenser apparatus has a body for containing a wipes box. The body has an interior, a first folding flap and a second folding flap. The first folding flap terminates at a first edge, while the second folding flap terminates at a second edge. In addition, the apparatus also has a fastener on the first folding flap, and a flexible member on the second folding flap. The flexible member is couplable with the fastener so that the first edge and second edge form a space for exposing the interior of the body.

1 . A wipes dispenser apparatus comprising:
 a body for containing a wipes box, the body having an interior, a first folding flap and a second folding flap, the first folding flap terminating at a first edge, the second folding flap terminating at a second edge;   a fastener on the first folding flap;   a flexible member on the second folding flap, the flexible member being couplable with the fastener so that the first edge and second edge form a space for exposing the interior of the body.   
   
   
       2 . The wipes dispenser as defined by  claim 1  wherein the interior is sized to accept one of a set of wipes boxes, the set of wipes boxes having varying sizes, the flexible member varying the size of the space as a function of the size of the wipes box within the interior. 
   
   
       3 . The wipes dispenser as defined by  claim 1  wherein the fastener is a button. 
   
   
       4 . The wipes dispenser as defined by  claim 1  wherein the flexible member comprises elastic cording. 
   
   
       5 . The wipes dispenser as defined by  claim 1  wherein the body comprises fabric. 
   
   
       6 . The wipes dispenser as defined by  claim 1  wherein the body comprises leather. 
   
   
       7 . The wipes dispenser as defined by  claim 1  further comprising a wipes box within the interior, the wipes box having a size that causes the fasteners to be in a stretched state. 
   
   
       8 . The wipes dispenser as defined by  claim 1  wherein the first folding flap and second folding flap are generally parallel with the same plane. 
   
   
       9 . The wipes dispenser as defined by  claim 1  wherein the wipes comprise tissues. 
   
   
       10 . The wipes dispenser as defined by  claim 1  comprising a third folding flap and a fourth folding flap, the third and forth folding flaps being folded under the first and second folding flaps, the third folding flap having a third edge that is generally perpendicular to the first edge. 
   
   
       11 . A wipes dispenser apparatus comprising:
 a body for containing a wipes box, the body having an interior, a first folding flap and a second folding flap, the first folding flap terminating at a first edge, the second folding flap terminating at a second edge; and   means for removably connecting the first and second folding flaps, the removably connecting means being configured so that the first edge and second edge form a space for exposing the interior of the body.   
   
   
       12 . The wipes dispenser apparatus as defined by  claim 11  further comprising a wipes box within the body interior, the removably connecting means being flexible to vary the size of the space as a function of the wipes box. 
   
   
       13 . The wipes dispenser as defined by  claim 11  wherein the body comprises fabric. 
   
   
       14 . The wipes dispenser as defined by  claim 11  wherein the body comprises leather. 
   
   
       15 . The wipes dispenser as defined by  claim 11  wherein the first folding flap and second folding flap are generally parallel with the same plane. 
   
   
       16 . The wipes dispenser as defined by  claim 11  wherein the body has a height, a length, and a width, the length being greater than the height. 
   
   
       17 . The wipes dispenser as defined by  claim 11  wherein the body has a height, a length, and a width, the height being greater than the length. 
   
   
       18 . A method comprising:
 providing a box covering having a body with an interior, a first folding flap and a second folding flap, the first folding flap terminating at a first edge, the second folding flap terminating at a second edge, the body also having a fastener on the first folding flap and a flexible member on the second folding flap;   moving the first folding flap and second folding flap to expose the interior;   placing a wipes box within the exposed interior;   folding the first folding flap toward the wipes box;   folding the second folding flap toward the wipes box; and   coupling the fastener on the first folding flap with the flexible member on the second folding flap, the first edge and second edge forming a space.   
   
   
       19 . The method as defined by  claim 18  wherein the box covering comprises a third folding flap and a fourth folding flap, the method comprising folding the third folding flap and the fourth folding flap toward the box before folding the first and second folding flaps. 
   
   
       20 . The method as defined by  claim 18  wherein the first folding flap and second folding flap contact the wipes box. 
   
   
       21 . The method as defined by  claim 18  wherein the flexible member is removably coupled with the fastener. 
   
   
       22 . The method as defined by  claim 21  wherein the flexible member is in a stretched state. 
   
   
       23 . The method as defined by  claim 19  further comprising:
 positioning a wipe within the wipes box through the space.   
   
   
       24 . The method as defined by  claim 19  wherein the body comprises an outer layer and an inner layer.
