Wipe dispenser

Abstract

A wipe dispenser includes: a stack of wipes; a storage body provided with a take-out hole member that enables a wipe to be pulled out from a take-out hole; and a lid that can close and open the take-out hole from the outside. An orifice member, in which an orifice is formed for applying resistance to the wipe when the wipe is pulled out from the take-out hole, is provided between the take-out hole member and the stack of wipes; and the orifice of the orifice member is configured to move to a deeper side of the storage body according to an amount by which a bulk of the stack of wipes is reduced as a result of the wipes being pulled out from the take-out hole. The orifice member is supported by the take-out hole member and biased toward the deeper side of the storage body.

1 . A wipe dispenser comprising:
 a stack of wipes constituted by a plurality of wipes;   a storage body that can store the stack of wipes inside thereof and is provided with a take-out hole member that enables a wipe to be pulled out to the outside from a take-out hole through which the wipe can pass; and   a lid that can close and open the take-out hole from the outside,   the stack of wipes being stored in the storage body, wherein   an orifice member, in which an orifice is formed for applying resistance to the wipe when the wipe is pulled out from the take-out hole, is provided between the take-out hole member and the stack of wipes,   the orifice of the orifice member is configured to move to a deeper side of the storage body according to an amount by which a bulk of the stack of wipes is reduced as a result of the wipes being pulled out from the take-out hole, and   the orifice member is supported by the take-out hole member and biased toward the deeper side of the storage body.   
     
     
         2 . The wipe dispenser according to  claim 1 , wherein a holding member for holding the orifice member in a state of being drawn in the direction against the biasing force is provided such that the state of holding the orifice member can be released. 
     
     
         3 . The wipe dispenser according to  claim 2 , wherein the holding member is provided such that a state in which the orifice member is not held can be obtained by accessing the holding member from the outside through the take-out hole. 
     
     
         4 . The wipe dispenser according to  claim 2 , wherein an opening member is provided that can seal the take-out hole and open the take-out hole by being removed to the outside of the take-out hole, and the holding member is connected to the opening member so that a state in which the holding member does not hold the orifice member is obtained when the opening member is removed from the take-out hole. 
     
     
         5 . The wipe dispenser according to  claim 4 , wherein the holding member is provided to protrude from a rear surface side of the opening member to the inner side of the storage body, and an engagement portion that disengageably engages with the orifice member is formed in the holding member such that, in a state in which the opening member seals the take-out hole, the engagement portion engages with the orifice member and holds the holding member in a state of being drawn to the take-out hole member side, and when the opening member is removed from the take-out hole, the engagement of the engagement portion with the orifice member is released at the same time and the orifice member assumes a state of being pressed against the stack of wipes. 
     
     
         6 . The wipe dispenser according to  claim 2 , wherein the holding member is connected to the lid so that a state in which the holding member does not hold the orifice member is obtained when the lid is opened. 
     
     
         7 . The wipe dispenser according to  claim 2 , wherein an opening member is provided that can seal the take-out hole and open the take-out hole by being removed to the outside of the take-out hole; the holding member is an adhesive bonding together a rear surface of the opening member and the orifice member; in a state in which the opening member seals the take-out hole, the adhesive bonds together the rear surface of the opening member and the orifice member and holds the orifice member in a state of being drawn against the biasing force; and when the opening member is removed from the take-out hole, the bonding of the opening member and the orifice member is released, and a state in which the orifice member is pressed against the stack of wipes is obtained. 
     
     
         8 . The wipe dispenser according to  claim 1 , wherein the orifice member is cantilever supported at a predetermined position on the inner side of the take-out hole of the storage body, and a free end side of the orifice member is biased toward the deeper side of the storage body. 
     
     
         9 . The wipe dispenser according to  claim 1 , wherein the orifice member is movably disposed at a predetermined position on the inner side of the take-out hole of the storage body, and the entire orifice member is biased toward the deeper side of the storage body.
