Abstract: The present disclosure relates to wet wipe dispensing systems for dispensing wet wipes capable of changing temperature upon use. In one embodiment, the dispensing system includes a wet wipe container and a lotion container that is held in assembly with the wet wipe container that contains a lotion that is kept separate from the wet wipes until the wet wipe is dispensed from the wet wipe container. The lotion includes a microencapsulated delivery vehicle that contains a temperature change agent that is capable of generating a temperature change upon contact with an aqueous solution. Once the wet wipe is dispensed from the system, an applicating device can apply the lotion to the wet wipe to facilitate contact between the temperature change agent in the microencapsulated delivery vehicle and the aqueous solution of the wet wipe.

Abstract: A package for carrying and dispensing wipes is described. The package has a wallet-like configuration and includes a first compartment separated from a second compartment along a foldable seam. The package can be configured to carry any suitable wipes including facial tissue, bath tissue, and any suitable pre-moistened wipes.

Abstract: In a dispensing system for dispensing wet wipes, a wet wipe has an aqueous solution and microencapsulated delivery vehicles including a temperature agent, and is disposed in a wet wipe container. A cartridge is held in assembly with the wet wipe container and has an activating device that facilitates rupturing of the microencapsulated delivery vehicles as the wet wipe is removed from the dispensing system to allow contact between the temperature change agent and the aqueous solution of the wet wipe to thereby dispense a warm or cooled wet wipe. In another embodiment, the wet wipe has an aqueous solution and a lotion having the microencapsulated heat delivery vehicles disposed in the cartridge free from contact with the wet wipe. The cartridge also has an applicator that is operable to apply the lotion to the wet wipe as the wet wipe is removed from the wet wipe container.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a package that includes an enclosure having a first substance and a second substance within the enclosure. The package further includes a plastic zipper which segregates the first substance from the second substance within the enclosure such that opening the plastic zipper allows the first substance and the second substance to be mixed together inside the enclosure. In another aspect, the package includes a gas-permeable enclosure and first and second solid substances stored within the enclosure. A mechanism, such as a plastic zipper, segregates the first and second solid substances. Opening the mechanism allows a user to mix the first and second solid substances inside the enclosure to produce a gas. The package permits the gas that is produced to permeate through the gas-permeable enclosure for distribution throughout an area.

Abstract: An improved stacked sheet material assembly is disclosed. A carton or container for reliably releasing stacked tissues also is disclosed. The assembly includes at least a first web and a second web on the top of the assembly where dispensing is started. The first and second webs are shown using various efficient starter folding patterns, for releasing sheet material webs, or tissues, more reliably and consistently. Folding patterns preferably achieve dispensing of one tissue at a time, from the beginning of the carton to the end of the carton, with relative ease, no tissue tearing, and no package induced fallback.

Abstract: A bag in-pack enclosure wherein the enclosure is removably secured to an inner surface of a gusseted end of the bag adjacent an opening of the bag. The enclosure can be a pamphlet or a coupon, and can be a single sheet of material or a multi-folded piece of material. The bag is suitable for packaging disposable absorbent articles.

Abstract: A resealable package for snack food items and a method of making the same from a sheet of flexible material. Two side edges of the sheet are joined together in a seam, with a flap extending longitudinally from an exterior surface of the package. A resealable adhesive is disposed beneath the flap, whereby the flap serves as a release strip to protect the adhesive until use. The consumer re-closes the package by removing the release strip to expose the adhesive. The package then is folded downward a number of times until the exterior surface of the package is secured to the adhesive.

Abstract: The disclosed invention is a rolling conductor support for supporting a conductor between a stationary supply and a moving consumer or parts of machinery moving relative to each other. The rolling conductor support includes a plurality of chains. Each chain includes a number of follower links, lubricating members, control links, connecting pins and a planar toothed fasteners. Each follower link has three follower orifices at either end of the link and the follower orifices are substantially perpendicluar to a longitudinal axis of the follower link. The lubricating member is located between the follower link and the control link and includes lubricating orifices conformal with the follower orifices. The control link includes two arcuate control slots having a radius of curvature about a center where a control pivot orifice is located. The follower links are clevised about the lubricating members and the control links.

Abstract: A novel package assembly and method are disclosed whereby a food product having a moisture content of less than 5 weight percent is disposed in a sealed package in which a sealed packet of an aqueous solution is also disposed; so that upon exposure to microwave radiation, the solution in the sealed packet vaporizes, rupture the packet and is dispersed as steam throughout the sealed package, whereby the temperature of the low moisture food product is increased.

Abstract: Disclosed are dispensing devices including an attachable dispensing lid adapted to be fitted to the open end of a package for particulate material especially ready-to-eat cereals. The dispensing device not only aids dispensing the particulate contents but also provides a good seal against moisture pickup. The dispensing lid includes a cover member having a peripheral groove which is adapted to frictionally engage the folded portion of the package formed by folding back the package top end flaps and the inner liner. The dispensing lid further comprises a spout member pivotably positioned within a corresponding opening in the cover member.
