  • Dispensing lid
    Patent number: 6786447
    Abstract: A removable and replaceable lid for use in dispensing sheets such as wet wipes from a container, a dispenser incorporating the lid, and methods of using the lid and dispenser are provided. An intermediate member is hingedly connected to a base member and a top cover member to form a three-part lid. The base member includes an opening and is removably mountable on a container. The intermediate member includes a recessed portion with a slit or webbing, and is engaged with the base member to cover the opening. The top cover member is engaged with the intermediate member to cover the slit. The opening in the base member is sized to permit access to manually withdraw an initial or starter sheet from the roll of sheets disposed within the container so that the sheet can be pushed through the slit in the intermediate member without having to remove the lid from the container.
