    Abstract: A wiper sheet packaging arrangement including an envelope package incorporating a mouth opening with at least one pair of adjacent columns of stacked folded wiper sheets with folded edges of the wiper sheets aligned in transverse relation to the mouth opening. The folded edges of the wiper sheets in adjacent columns are disposed in opposing relation to define a finger access channel between the adjacent columns.

  • Patent number: 6220435
    Abstract: A system for dispensing presaturated wiper sheets for use in various industrial and manufacturing situations includes a reusable dispenser canister and at least one refill package of wiper sheets. The dispensing canister may include a receptacle base, and a lid threaded onto the base. A gasket, such as an annular disc of compressible foam material, may be interposed between the base and lid. The lid includes an integral cap unit which defines a storage well and a cap element. An aperture, through which a portion of the leading sheet extends, is defined in a bottom portion of the storage well. The well is preferably deep enough so that the wiper portion can be relatively long, without interfering with closing of the cap element. The cap unit is designed to provide a relatively tight seal when the cap element is closed. A lip protrudes up at an acute angle from a main cap portion of the cap element to facilitate opening of the cap element, even by a gloved worker.

  • Patent number: 5688394
    Abstract: Contaminants are removed from a surface being prepared to receive a finish coating or a treatment. Solvent is applied manually to the surface with carrier sheets dispensed from reclosable packages where the solvent is contained along with a plurality of quarter-folded carrier sheets formed from non-woven material. The packages can be grounded to reduce the incidence of static electrical build-up.

  • Patent number: 5664677
    Abstract: A wiper assembly for use in cleansing a controlled environment. The assembly comprises a generally flat container having therein a plurality of wiper cloths presaturated with a selected cleaning or disinfectant solvent. A top portion of the container defines an opening for wiper cloth removal which may be selectively opened and closed using a flexible adhesive panel. The bottom portion of the container is characterized by a greater rigidity than the rigidity of the top portion. This enhanced rigidity is sufficient to substantially prevent bending of the container during removal of the wiper cloths and closure of the container opening.
