Wipe dispenser

Abstract

A wipe dispenser has: a stacked body configured by stacking sheet-like folded wipes; a storage body for storing the stacked body and having, at an upper portion, a dispenser opening from which the wipes are pulled out; and a pressing member that is pressed against an upper surface of the stacked body by biasing force, wherein the pressing member ensures that resistance generated when pulling the wipes through the dispenser opening is uneven between the left-hand side and the right-hand side of the upper surface of the stacked body, which is divided by a virtual straight line therebetween that is perpendicular to a fold line of each of the wipes.

1 . A wipe dispenser, comprising:
 a stacked body configured by stacking sheet-like folded wipes;   a storage body for storing the stacked body and having, at an upper portion, a dispenser opening from which the wipes are pulled out; and   a pressing member that is pressed against an upper surface of the stacked body by biasing force, wherein   the pressing member ensures that resistance generated when pulling the wipes through the dispenser opening is uneven between a left-hand side and a right-hand side of the upper surface of the stacked body, which is divided by a virtual straight line therebetween that is perpendicular to a fold line of each of the wipes.   
     
     
         2 . The wipe dispenser according to  claim 1 , wherein the pressing member has an additional resistance application portion that acts on the wipes being pulled. 
     
     
         3 . The wipe dispenser according to  claim 2 , wherein
 the additional resistance application portion is formed of a large resistance portion and a small resistance portion that each generate frictional force in the passage of the wipes, the frictional force of the large resistance portion being greater than that of the small resistance portion, and   the large resistance portion is located, across the virtual strait line, on the side where resistance induced by the biasing force exists or on the side where the resistance is large.   
     
     
         4 . The wipe dispenser according to  claim 3 , wherein the pressing member has one end serving as a pressing portion that comes into abutment with the upper surface of the stacked body, and has the other end supported by an outlet member. 
     
     
         5 . The wipe dispenser according to  claim 3 , wherein the pressing member has one end serving as a pressing portion that comes into abutment with the upper surface of the stacked body, and is supported on the side of the pressing portion by the outlet member via a momentum maintaining member, and the additional resistance application portion is provided between the pressing portion and the other end of the pressing member. 
     
     
         6 . The wipe dispenser according to  claim 3 , wherein the pressing member is supported by the outlet member via momentum maintaining members disposed on the left-hand side and the right-hand side with the virtual straight line therebetween, and biasing force of the left-side momentum maintaining member is different from that of the right-side momentum maintaining member. 
     
     
         7 . The wipe dispenser according to  claim 1 , further comprising a retaining member for keeping the pressing member in the state where the pressing member is pulled in a direction against the biasing force, the retaining member being capable of releasing the pressing member from this direction.
