  • Patent number: 10835087
    Abstract: In one example, a wipe dispensing system includes a housing that defines an internal wipe storage area, a lid connected to the housing, a fluid reservoir disposed within the housing, a pump in fluid communication with the fluid reservoir, a fluid discharge manifold in fluid communication with the pump and located proximate a wipe dispensing path. The lid is operably disposed with respect to the pump such that depression of the lid causes the pump to discharge fluid from the fluid discharge manifold, and also causes dispensation of a portion of a wipe from the housing, and a return of the lid from a depressed position to a ‘ready’ position causes the pump to discharge fluid from the fluid discharge manifold, and also causes dispensation of portion of a wipe from the housing.

  • Patent number: 10576509
    Abstract: An all-in-one cleaning device, e.g., such as may be used in cleaning the inside of a shower. The device may provide the ability to dispense the composition carried within the device itself, and scrub the composition into or against the surfaces to be cleaned (e.g., shower walls, floors, corners, etc.). Activation of the dispensing mechanism of the cleaning device may dispense a metered dose of composition, in a generally horizontal direction, onto and/or into a nonwoven or other substrate. The dispensing mechanism may not rely on gravity for dispensing, and may be sealed to prevent unwanted backflow of shower water or other material, preventing contamination.

  • Patent number: 10478022
    Abstract: In one example, a wipe dispensing system includes a housing that defines an internal wipe storage area, a lid rotatably connected to the housing, a fluid reservoir disposed within the housing, and a pump in fluid communication with the fluid reservoir. A fluid discharge manifold is in fluid communication with the pump and is arranged proximate to a portion of a wipe dispensing path. The lid is operably disposed with respect to the pump such that depression of the lid causes discharge of fluid from the pump through the fluid discharge manifold, and also causes partial dispensation of a wipe from the housing.

  • Patent number: 10285544
    Abstract: In one example, a wipe dispensing system includes a housing that defines an internal wipe storage area, a mixing element having an opening that communicates with the wipe storage area, a fluid reservoir disposed within the housing, a pump in communication with the fluid reservoir, a nozzle in communication with the pump and located proximate the opening of the mixing element such that an outlet of the nozzle is in communication with the opening of the mixing element, and a pump actuation mechanism operably connected with the pump and responsive to initiation of the dispensation of a wipe from the wipe dispensing system.
