Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to a wet wipe pocket with dispensing mechanism and, more particularly, to a wet wipe pocket with dispensing mechanism that allows to fully cover the hand of a user with a detachable pocket, where the pocket is suitable to disinfect the hand of a user or disinfect, wipe, and/or clean any surface.

2. Description of the Related Art

Several designs for wipes have been designed in the past. None of them, however, include a plurality of disposable wipe pockets which can be used for cleaning anus and surrounding area while avoiding the hand of the user to get contaminated.

Applicant believes that a related reference corresponds to U.S. Pat. No. 10,166,088 issued for a disposable glove with a wipe portion which can be used for cleaning the rectal region. Applicant believes that another related reference corresponds to U.S. Pat. No. 10,870,527 issued for a dispensing assembly for a plurality of stacked gloves. None of these references, however, teach of a wet wipe pocket with dispensing mechanism that is comprised of a plurality of pocket members which have a wet wipe surface located on the palm portion which can be individually dispensed and donned from a storage container.

Other documents describing the closest subject matter provide for a number of more or less complicated features that fail to solve the problem in an efficient and economical way. None of these patents suggest the novel features of the present invention.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS OF THE INVENTION

Referring now to the drawings, where the present invention is generally referred to with numeral 10, it can be observed that it basically includes a pocket assembly 20, a dispenser assembly 40 and an enclosing assembly 60. It should be understood there are modifications and variations of the invention that are too numerous to be listed but that all fit within the scope of the invention. Also, singular words should be read as plural and vice versa and masculine as feminine and vice versa, where appropriate, and alternative embodiments do not necessarily imply that the two are mutually exclusive.

The pocket assembly 20 may include a plurality of pockets 22 and crop lines 25. Each of the plurality of pockets 22 may be defined by a rear wall 24a and a front wall 24. The front wall 24 may be attached by its bottom, left and right edges to the bottom, left and right edges of the rear wall 24a. The front wall 24 and the rear wall 24a may be planar. The front wall 24 and the rear wall 24a may have a polygonal shape. The front wall 24 and the rear wall 24a may be made of nonwoven fabrics such as polyester or polypropylene. It also may be suitable for the front wall 24 and the rear wall 24 to be made of wood pulp, cotton, or any other suitable material. The rear wall 24a and the front wall 24 may be moistened in liquids, such as sanitizer, disinfectant, lotion, or perfume. It may be suitable for the rear wall 24a and the front wall 24 to include preservatives such as methylisothiazolinone to prevent bacterial or fungal growth thereon. In one embodiment the rear wall 24a may be larger in height than the front wall 24. The rear wall 24a and the front wall 24 may be attached together defining an opening 26 for each pocket of the plurality of pockets 22.

Each pocket of the plurality of pockets 22 may be hollow. Each of the plurality of pockets 22 may have such size and dimensions that allows a hand to fit therein. The plurality of pockets 22 may be detachable from the dispenser assembly 40. The plurality of pockets 22 may be disposable. The plurality of pockets 22 may have crop lines 25. In one embodiment the crop lines 25 are located in a bottom and top portion of each of the plurality of pockets 22. It also may be suitable for the crop lines 25 to be located on a left portion, on a right portion or have any other disposition in the plurality of pockets 22. The crop lines 25 may be near the junction of the at plurality of pockets 22 with the dispenser assembly 40. The crop lines 25 may be frangible dotted lines which allows to detach each of the plurality of pockets 22 from the dispenser assembly 40 by pulling each of the plurality of pockets 22 from the dispenser assembly 40. In a preferred embodiment one of the crop lines 25 may be located in the bottom junction of the rear wall 24a with the front wall 24 connecting the bottom of each of the plurality of pockets 22 to a bottom portion of the dispenser assembly 40. Another crop line of the crop lines 25 may be located in a top edge of the rear wall 24a connecting each of the plurality of pockets 22 to the dispenser assembly 40.

The dispenser assembly 40 may include a dispensing element 42, a top portion 44 and a bottom portion 46. The dispensing element 42 may have a polygonal shape. The dispensing element 42 may have a size that allows to place the plurality of pockets 22 thereover. The dispensing element 42 may be planar. The dispensing element 42 may be made of plastic, cardboard, or any other suitable material. The dispensing element 42 may include preservatives such as methylisothiazolinone to prevent bacterial or fungal growth thereon. The dispensing element 42 may be removable attached to the plurality of pockets 22. In a preferred embodiment as illustrated in FIG. 2 the plurality of pockets 22 may be removable from the dispensing element 42.

The top portion 44 may be a flap where a top portion of the plurality of pockets 22 is inserted. The bottom portion 46 may be a flap where a bottom portion of the plurality of pockets 22 is inserted. The top portion 44 and the bottom portion 46 may allow the plurality of pockets 22 to be attached to the dispenser assembly 40. The top portion 44 and the bottom portion 46 may have an elongated shape. The top portion 44 and the bottom portion 46 may extend by a top and bottom edge of the dispensing element 42. The top portion 44 and the bottom portion 46 may be made of the same material as the dispensing element. The top portion 44 and the bottom portion 46 may firmly keep the plurality of pockets 22 attached to the dispensing element 42.

In a preferred embodiment a user may introduce a hand through the opening 26 of one of the plurality of pockets 22 and pull to detach the one pocket of the plurality of pockets 22 from the dispensing element 42. The top and bottom of the plurality of pockets 22 may be removable attached to the top portion 46 and the bottom portion 44 of the dispensing element 42. For removal of the plurality of pockets 22 the crop lines 25 may tear when pulling the plurality of pockets 22 from the dispensing element 42. The user may use the detached pocket of the plurality of pockets 22 to sanitize or clean any surface. In a preferred embodiment a plurality of pockets 22 may be removable attached to the dispensing element 42. Thus, after detaching one of the plurality of pockets 22 from the dispensing element 42 a plurality of pockets 22 may be available underneath to be detached and used.

The enclosing assembly 60 may include a housing 62 and a lid 64. The lid 64 may be detachable from the housing 62. The housing 62 may be made of plastic, paper, metal, or any other suitable material. The housing 62 may have a rectangular shape. The housing 62 may have a bottom wall, a right wall, a left wall, a rear wall, and a front wall. The housing 62 may be hollow. The housing 62 may store the dispenser assembly 40 and the pocket assembly 20. The dispenser assembly 40 may be attached to the enclosing assembly 60. The bottom wall of the dispensing element 42 may be in abutting contact with the bottom wall of the housing 62. The top wall of the housing 62 may be defined by the lid 64. The lid 64 may be as wide as the container. The lid 64 may be made of plastic, metal, paper, or any other suitable material. The lid 64 may have crop lines 66. The lid 64 may have a rectangular shape. The crop lines 66 may tear when detaching the lid 64 from the housing 62. The crop lines 66 may define the edges of the lid 64. In a preferred embodiment the user may remove the lid 64 and detach one of the plurality of pockets 22 as needed. The plurality of pockets 22 may be stored in the enclosing assembly 60 to prevent the plurality of pockets 22 to get dry.

The foregoing description conveys the best understanding of the objectives and advantages of the present invention. Different embodiments may be made of the inventive concept of this invention. It is to be understood that all matter disclosed herein is to be interpreted merely as illustrative, and not in a limiting sense.
