Abstract

A wipe dispenser includes a housing (22) having a chamber configured to contain a stack of wet wipes, a dispensing slot (42) in the housing and in communication with the chamber to allow a feed of the wet wipes to exit the chamber, a proximity sensor (106) responsive to an indication from a user to generate a signal to trigger dispensation of a sequential wet wipe in the feed of the wet wipes, and a nip roller (43) positioned adjacent the dispensing slot to engage the sequential wet wipe to advance the feed through the dispensing slot in accordance with the trigger signal from the proximity sensor. The proximity sensor is configured to determine whether the user indication is within a predetermined distance of the proximity sensor to advance the feed for the dispensation of the sequential wet wipe without requiring user contact with the wipe dispenser.
