Abstract

Wipe dispensers are provided. In one aspect, a wipe dispenser includes a housing and a handle coupled to the housing. The housing defines a cavity that includes a liquid cavity portion adapted to receive liquid therein and a wipe cavity portion adapted to receive wipes therein. In another aspect, a wipe dispenser includes a housing including a first housing portion and a second housing portion with the first housing portion movable relative to the second housing portion. The housing defines a cavity therein. The wipe dispenser also includes a wall and a biasing member. The wall is positioned in the cavity and adapted to separate the cavity into a liquid cavity portion and a wipe cavity portion, and the biasing member is positioned between the first housing portion and the second housing portion. The biasing member is adapted to bias the first housing portion away from the second housing portion.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A wipe dispenser comprising:
 a housing defining a cavity therein, wherein the cavity includes a liquid cavity portion adapted to receive liquid therein and a wipe cavity portion adapted to receive wipes therein; and   a handle coupled to the housing.   
     
     
         2 . The wipe dispenser of  claim 1 , wherein the housing and the handle are unitarily formed as one-piece. 
     
     
         3 . The wipe dispenser of  claim 1 , further comprising an internal wall positioned in the cavity and adapted to separate the cavity into the liquid cavity portion and the wipe cavity portion. 
     
     
         4 . The wipe dispenser of  claim 3 , wherein the internal wall is unitarily formed as one-piece with the housing. 
     
     
         5 . The wipe dispenser of  claim 3 , further comprising a sealing member coupled to the internal wall. 
     
     
         6 . The wipe dispenser of  claim 5 , wherein the sealing member is adapted to allow liquid to pass there through from the liquid cavity portion to the wipe cavity portion. 
     
     
         7 . The wipe dispenser of  claim 1 , wherein the housing includes a projection near an open end of the cavity in the housing, wherein the open end has an opening area defined along a first plane and the wipe cavity portion has a wipe cavity area defined along a second plane spaced-apart from and substantially parallel to the first plane, and wherein the opening area is smaller than the wipe cavity area. 
     
     
         8 . The wipe dispenser of  claim 7 , wherein the housing includes a bottom edge near the open end of the cavity, and wherein the projection extends from the bottom edge. 
     
     
         9 . The wipe dispenser of  claim 1 , wherein the housing defines a recess therein aligned with the wipe cavity portion to facilitate grasping of the wipes in the wipe cavity portion. 
     
     
         10 . The wipe dispenser of  claim 1 , wherein the housing defines an aperture there through in fluid communication with the fluid cavity portion, and wherein liquid is adapted to be introduced into the liquid cavity portion through the aperture. 
     
     
         11 . The wipe dispenser of  claim 1 , further comprising an absorbent member positioned in the cavity. 
     
     
         12 . The wipe dispenser of  claim 11 , wherein the absorbent member is positioned in the wipe cavity portion and is adapted to receive liquid from the liquid cavity portion prior to the liquid passing to the wipes. 
     
     
         13 . A wipe dispenser comprising:
 a housing including a first housing portion and a second housing portion with the first housing portion movable relative to the second housing portion, wherein the housing defines a cavity therein;   a wall positioned in the cavity and adapted to separate the cavity into a liquid cavity portion and a wipe cavity portion; and   a biasing member positioned between the first housing portion and the second housing portion and adapted to bias the first housing portion away from the second housing portion.   
     
     
         14 . The wipe dispenser of  claim 13 , further comprising a spray nozzle supported by the wall. 
     
     
         15 . The wipe dispenser of  claim 13 , further comprising a sealing member supported by the wall. 
     
     
         16 . The wipe dispenser of  claim 13 , wherein the housing defines an aperture there through in fluid communication with the fluid cavity portion, and wherein liquid is adapted to be introduced into the liquid cavity portion through the aperture. 
     
     
         17 . The wipe dispenser of  claim 13 , wherein the housing includes a projection near an open end of the cavity in the housing, wherein the open end has an opening area defined along a first plane and the wipe cavity portion has a wipe cavity area defined along a second plane spaced-apart from and substantially parallel to the first plane, and wherein the opening area is smaller than the wipe cavity area. 
     
     
         18 . The wipe dispenser of  claim 17 , wherein the housing includes a bottom edge near the open end of the cavity, and wherein the projection extends from the bottom edge. 
     
     
         19 . The wipe dispenser of  claim 13 , further comprising an absorbent member positioned in the cavity. 
     
     
         20 . The wipe dispenser of  claim 19 , wherein the absorbent member is positioned in the wipe cavity portion and is adapted to receive liquid from the liquid cavity portion prior to the liquid passing to wipes positioned in the wipe cavity portion.
