Abstract: There is provided a wet wipes dispensing system. The system includes a plurality of separably joined wet wipes and the plurality of separably joined wet wipes include a lubricant. The system also includes a dispenser including a sealed chamber, the sealed chamber housing the plurality of separably joined wet wipes therein. The dispenser also includes a flexible elastic sealing orifice through which wet wipes from the plurality of separably joined wet wipes can be dispensed from the sealed chamber. At least a portion of the lubricant is automatically transferable to the flexible elastic sealing orifice when wet wipes from the plurality of separably joined wet wipes are dispensed from the sealed chamber through the flexible elastic sealing orifice whereby a drag relationship between the wet wipes and the flexible elastic sealing orifice is reduced by at least about 20%.

Abstract: A suture-material-dispenser system for a supply of dry or wet suture material includes the supply of such material and a housing which defines a cavity for containing the supply. The housing includes a top region that has an opening formed in it, and a bottom region with a semi-circular bearing positioned in it. A reel fits within the cavity on the bearing, and has wound on it the supply. An anti-contaminant, flip-top cover is pivotably attached to the top region, and is constructed for releasable closure over the top region substantially to prevent contaminants from entering the cavity. A gas-permeable, resilient member is also included and has a body that fits sealingly within the opening, which body has formed in it a suture-material-dispensing port to allow dispensing of suture material therethrough. The body is preferably formed from a substance with a hardness in the range of about 40-80 on a Shore A durometer.

Abstract: The present invention provides in combination, a supply roll comprising an elongate liner, a multiplicity of electrodes, and a coating of moist adhesive on the electrodes that releasably adheres the electrodes in spaced relationship along the liner, and a refillable air-restricting dispenser comprising a plurality of walls forming a housing. The walls comprise a hollow tubular peripheral wall, and first and second opposite end walls, and define a central cavity within the housing. The peripheral wall has a slot communicating between inner and outer surfaces of the peripheral wall. The slot is adapted to afford passage of the liner with electrodes adhered thereto.

Abstract: The dispenser has a housing in which are rotatably journalled a photographic sheet materials supply shaft, and a pair of nipping rollers. A motor drives one of the rollers through a drive train, and such driven roller drives the other. A leader of sheet material from said shaft, fed to said nipping rollers, is drivenly payed-out from the shaft, and between the rollers, when the motor is turned on. Further, a handwheel journalled in a control box mounted to the housing turns an indicia-graduated dial to an indicated length of sheet material sought to be payed out. A motor switch, in cooperation with control box and housing circuitry, powers the motor to pay-out the dialed length of sheet material, and a further switch which monitors the rotation of the dial turns the motor off when the dialed length of material has been payed-out.

Abstract: The apparatus comprises a light-tight dispenser for rolled sheet materials, such as negative stock, emulsified paper, and like photographic supplies, having nipping rollers for paying-out of the rolled materials, and a translatable blade for severing a selected length of payed-out material. The dispenser is suspensible from a vertical surface, such as a wall of a room or a panel of a camera unit (which latter may have an entry access for a severed length of the material). The dispenser has a channel which defines a rectilinear frame in which a sheet material cassette is light-sealingly nested and restrained. The cassette intimately engages the innermost portion of the channel to feed sheet material therefrom to the aforesaid nipping rollers, which are in adjacency thereto.
