wipe container and housing system

Abstract

Wipe container and housing system comprising at least two different types of housing ( 10 ) and at least two different types of wipe container ( 1 ), wherein each housing ( 10 ) is provided with a unique and different first cooperating component ( 16 ) and each wipe container is provided with a unique and different second cooperating component ( 8 ) such that, in use, each housing is only able to receive a wipe container when the first and second cooperating components are mutually compatible.

1 . A wipe container and housing system comprising at least two different types of housing and at least two different types of wipe container, wherein each housing is provided with a unique and different first cooperating component and each wipe container is provided with a unique and different second cooperating component such that, in use, each housing is only able to receive a wipe container when the first and second cooperating components are mutually compatible. 
     
     
         2 . A wipe container and housing system according to  claim 1 , wherein the first and second cooperating components include male/female or female/male cooperating components. 
     
     
         3 . A wipe container and housing system according to  claim 1 , wherein one end of the wipe container supports a wipe dispensing aperture and the second cooperating component is provided adjacent such end. 
     
     
         4 . A wipe container and housing system according to  claim 1 , wherein one end of the wipe container supports a wipe dispensing aperture and the second cooperating component is provided remote from such end. 
     
     
         5 . A wipe container and housing system according to  claim 1 , wherein the second component on each wipe container is provided both adjacent the end of the container supporting a wipe dispensing aperture and adjacent the end of the container remote from a wipe dispensing aperture. 
     
     
         6 . A wipe container and housing system according to  claim 1 , wherein the first component on a housing is formed in an insert, whereby each type of housing is similar in size and shape with the exception of a different type of insert. 
     
     
         7 . A wipe container and housing system according to  claim 1 , wherein the wipe container includes a hinged cap to seal a wipe dispensing aperture, and the co-operation of the second component with the first component orientates the position of the cap relative to the housing. 
     
     
         8 . A wipe container and housing system according to  claim 7 , wherein the cap is orientated such that it lies adjacent the back of the housing when removed from the wipe aperture. 
     
     
         9 . A wipe container and housing system according to  claim 1 , wherein the wipe container includes a hinged cap to seal a wipe aperture, and the hinged cap features a one or more indents which co-operate one or more protrusions on the housing system of a corresponding shape such that the cap fits over the protrusion or protrusions in order to keep the cap from impeding free access to the wipes. 
     
     
         10 . A wipe container and housing system according to  claim 1 , wherein mutually compatible first and second cooperating components include matching colours. 
     
     
         11 . A wipe container and housing system according to  claim 1 , wherein the first and second cooperating components are of matching number. 
     
     
         12 . (canceled) 
     
     
         13 . A wipe container and housing system according to  claim 7 , wherein the first and second cooperating components include male/female or female/male cooperating components. 
     
     
         14 . A wipe container and housing system according to  claim 7 , wherein one end of the wipe container supports a wipe dispensing aperture and the second cooperating component is provided adjacent such end. 
     
     
         15 . A wipe container and housing system according to  claim 7 , wherein one end of the wipe container supports a wipe dispensing aperture and the second cooperating component is provided remote from such end. 
     
     
         16 . A wipe container and housing system according to  claim 7 , wherein the second component on each wipe container is provided both adjacent the end of the container supporting a wipe dispensing aperture and adjacent the end of the container remote from a wipe dispensing aperture. 
     
     
         17 . A wipe container and housing system according to  claim 7 , wherein the first component on a housing is formed in an insert, whereby each type of housing is similar in size and shape with the exception of a different type of insert. 
     
     
         18 . A wipe container and housing system according to  claim 7 , wherein the wipe container includes a hinged cap to seal a wipe aperture, and the hinged cap features a one or more indents which co-operate one or more protrusions on the housing system of a corresponding shape such that the cap fits over the protrusion or protrusions in order to keep the cap from impeding free access to the wipes. 
     
     
         19 . A wipe container and housing system according to  claim 7 , wherein mutually compatible first and second cooperating components include matching colours. 
     
     
         20 . A wipe container and housing system according to  claim 7 , wherein the first and second cooperating components are of matching number. 
     
     
         21 . A wipe container and housing system according to  claim 8 , wherein the first and second cooperating components include male/female or female/male cooperating components.
