  • Patent number: 6412656
    Abstract: A dispenser for pre-moistened wipes has a moisture-impermeable housing containing a supply of pre-moistened wipes and having a dispensing wall. A flexible and resilient bulbous dispensing structure is carried by the dispensing wall and projects outwardly therefrom in use so as to be manually squeezable by a user to open normally-closed slits therein to define an opening permitting removal of wipes from the housing. The dispensing structure may define a nose portion of housing indicia depicting a face. In one embodiment, the housing is in the form of a bag which is initially vacuumed sealed, drawing the dispensing structure into the bag to present a substantially flat dispensing wall to facilitate stacking of plural dispensers, the dispensing structures assuming its normal use position when the interior of the housing is exposed to atmospheric pressure. The wipes may be designed for safe use on babies and are moistened with an appropriate fluid.
