Definitions
- Moistened cleansing wipe products have become an important product category that has found a wide variety of applications for adults, children, and babies. These products are typically manufactured by impregnating sheets made of non-woven fabric with a suitable solution. Examples include hand wipes, face or body cleansing wipes, wipes for skin treatment, and skin conditioning wipes. Many women also prefer to use wipes impregnated with appropriate non-stinging cleansing liquid for hygienic cleaning of the vaginal area.
- Feminine hygienic cleansing wipes are typically folded and packaged in very small tear-open pouches.
- Other moistened wipe products have been packaged in rectangular box-like containers and cylindrical containers. These bulky containers typically hold hundreds of the moistened wipes and are not meant to be portable or carried in a purse.

FIGS. 1-3 are perspective views of an embodiment of adisposal envelope 10 for hygienic wipes.disposal envelope 10 is constructed of a thin liquidimpervious sheet 12 that is folded along two lines into three substantially identically-sized portions—top portion 12 a,center portion 12 b, andbottom portion 12 c. The liquidimpervious sheet 12 may be a thin film of polyethylene, polyvinyl or any other suitable plastic film that is operable to provide a moisture barrier. Thebottom portion 12 c of liquidimpervious sheet 12 is folded overcenter portion 12 b, and affixed thereto by a suitable adhesive, heat sealing or another suitable method around the periphery along two opposing sides to form sealededges 14. Accordingly, affixed center andbottom portions hygienic wipe 16 shown in phantom inFIG. 3 . Moistenedhygienic wipe 16 may be impregnated with a cleansing solution or another suitable liquid. - With the
hygienic wipe 16 in place inside the pocket formed by center andbottom portions top portion 12 a of liquidimpervious sheet 12 may be folded over the pocket and then theentire envelope 10 may be rolled into a tubular form and then secured by anadhesive closure 18.Adhesive closure 18 may be a tab that has an adhesive applied on one side or another suitable means such as a hook and loop closure, for example. The adhesive closure is preferably reusable. The rolledenvelope 12, along with themoistened wipe 16 contained therein, may be packaged and distributed in a cardboard box, or be distributed and marketed as a part of a feminine hygiene carrier system described in the above-identified co-pending patent application entitled Carrier for Feminine Hygiene Product. The liquid impervious nature ofsheet 12 keeps moistenedhygienic wipe 16 from drying out. The liquid impervious sheet is preferably opaque and may have decorative designs adorning the exterior surface thereof. - In operation, a user may carry rolled
envelope 12 inside the carrier referenced above, or inside her purse. The rolledenvelope 12 is a small and discrete package that can be easily accommodated in any purses, tote bags, or backpacks. To use, the user may simply unroll theenvelope 12 and remove the hygienic wipe from the pocket for use.

Therefore, soiled feminine hygiene products may be contained and discarded in a tidy manner. The liquid impervious nature ofsheet 12 helps to keep the content from leaking and ensures that the entire package stays tidy. - Although
disposal envelope 12 is described and shown herein as having a tri-fold construction (with two fold lines and three portions),disposal envelope 12 may have a bi-fold construction with one fold line and two portions folded over one another and sealed along two opposing sides to form a pocket. Further, although the three portions ofdisposal envelope 12 are preferably substantially equal-sized,envelope 12 may be constructed with substantially equally- sized center andbottom portions top portion 12 a that is smaller or larger than the pocket formed byportions -
Disposal envelope 12 may employ, instead ofadhesive tab 18, other means of securing the rolled-up envelope. For example, the two ends of the rolled-up envelope may be heat sealed or by another suitable means that is easily separated by the user to unroll the envelope. -
FIG. 4 is a perspective view of another embodiment of adisposal envelope 20 for hygienic wipes in its unrolled state.Disposal envelope 20 comprises a liquidimpervious bag 22 having three closed sides 24-26.Disposal envelope 20 comprises areclosable seal 28 across anopen end 30 of thebag 22.Reclosable seal 28 may be a zip lock-type closure or another suitable closure. Two opposedflaps closure 28 atopen end 30 ofbag 22.Flaps disposal envelope 20.Flap 34 may extend further fromclosure 28 thanflap 32 and may comprise anadhesive strip 36 on itsside facing flap 32.Adhesive strip 36 is preferably reusable.Disposal envelope 20 is used to contain one or more hygienic wipes.Bag 22 is preferably opaque and may have decorative designs adorning the exterior of the bag. -
FIG. 5 is a perspective view of the embodiment ofdisposal envelope 20 shown inFIG. 4 in its rolled state. In the rolled state,adhesive strip 36 may be used to adhereflap 34 to bag 22 so that it does not become unrolled. The hygienic wipes are folded in such a way so that the rolleddisposal envelope 20, with the one or more wipes contained therein, has a smooth and slim profile and does not have lumps where the wipes are located within the bag. - In operation, a user may carry rolled
envelope 20 inside the carrier referenced above. The rolledenvelope 20 is a small and discrete package that can be easily accommodated in any purses, tote bags, or backpacks. To use, the user may simply unroll theenvelope 20, openclosure 28 and remove the hygienic wipes for use. The user may then use the now empty bag to dispose of used tampon, tampon applicator, feminine pad, or any other soiled object.Closure 28 may then be used to reseal the envelope to keep the contents more securely contained. Therefore, soiled feminine hygiene products may be contained and discreetly discarded in a tidy manner. The liquid impervious nature ofbag 22 helps to keep the content from leaking and ensures that the entire package stays tidy until it is disposed of. -
FIG. 6 is a perspective view of anotherembodiment 40 of a disposal envelope having a second compartment for storing a feminine product.Disposal envelope 40 comprises afirst compartment 42 that stores a moistened cleansing wipe and asecond compartment 44 that stores a feminine product such as atampon 46.Second compartment 44 preferably has an opening that opens in a direction opposite that offirst compartment 42. The second compartment may have a sealed opening.Flaps second compartment 44. Unlikefirst compartment 42, the opening ofsecond compartment 44 does not require a reclosable seal. -
FIG. 7 is a perspective view of another embodiment of aroll 50 of contiguously- coupleddisposal envelopes 52. Eachdisposal envelope 52 comprises areclosable seal 54 such as a zip-lock type closure. The disposal envelopes are easily separated by tearing alongperforations 56 disposed between successive disposal envelopes. The disposal envelopes may be easily dispensed on a roller dispenser. Eachdisposal envelope 52 in the roll may contain one or more moistened wipe in a first compartment and/or a feminine product such as a tampon in a second compartment as described above. - Alternatively, the disposal envelopes may be stored and dispensed from a box of suitable size with a dispensing opening. The disposal envelopes may be arranged in an overlap manner in the box so that as one envelope is removed by a user through the dispensing opening, the next envelope is pulled through the opening much like how facial tissues are dispensed.
- Unlike conventional moistened wipe packaging that are typically very small tear-open packages, the disposal envelope described above is substantially larger and can be reused and resealed to discard soiled feminine products. The moistened wipe contained in the disposal envelope are not folded into a tiny square that is often a challenge to unfold as in conventional wipe packages. Therefore, the disposal envelope is easy to unfurl and the moistened wipe contained therein is easy to unfold and use. In the embodiment where the disposal envelope has two compartments, one containing a wipe and the other containing a tampon, the user can easily extract the wipe and the tampon for use and then use the resealable first compartment to dispose of soiled feminine products.
- Although embodiments of the present disclosure have been described in detail, those skilled in the art should understand that they may make various changes, substitutions and alterations herein without departing from the spirit and scope of the present disclosure. Accordingly, all such changes, substitutions and alterations are intended to be included within the scope of the present disclosure as defined in the following claims.
