Abstract
Description
- This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 60/978,295, filed Oct. 8, 2007, the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference.
- The present invention relates to a dual-zone container having a first compartment for containing a moist product and a second compartment for containing a normally dry product.
- When cleaning or wiping an object with a normally wet cloth, it is possible for the surface of the object to remain moist subsequent to the cleaning action. Many times, a dry cloth is required to completely dry the object and eliminate the possibility of streaks forming on the surface. Known wipe containers maintain a single compartment for moist cloths, resulting in the user needing to also obtain and carry a separate dry cloth. Additionally, as the dry cloth is used, it retains moisture from the surface of the object and, if not properly dried between cleaning cycles, can be left damp and thereby susceptible to mold or mildew formation.
- A container for storage and dispensing of moist articles and for storing at least one normally dry article includes a body at least partially defining a first compartment for storage of moist articles. The container further includes a cap defining a second compartment therein for storage of at least one normally dry article. The cap also defines an opening for dispensing moist articles from the first compartment. A lid of the container has a sealing flap for selectively closing the first compartment and sealing the first compartment from the environment and a ventilated flap for selectively closing the second compartment. The ventilated flap includes at least one opening for ventilating the second compartment when the ventilated flap is closed.
- The container incorporates a second vented chamber within the cap of the first chamber. The first chamber may therefore maintain wet wipes necessary for cleaning, while the second chamber provides a convenient location to store a dry cloth. Moreover, the flap that covers the second chamber includes venting holes to promote drying of the dry cloth between cleaning cycles.

FIGS. 1-3 illustrate a dual-zone container 20.FIG. 1 illustrates thecontainer 20 in a closed configuration, andFIG. 3 illustrates thecontainer 20 in an open configuration. Thecontainer 20 includes abody 24 and acap 28 removably attached to thebody 24. Both thebody 24 and thecap 28 have a generally rectangular polyhedral shape such that theentire container 20 also has a generally rectangular polyhedral shape. Thecap 28 is provided with a two-part lid 32 allowing selective access to an interior of thecontainer 20. The interior of thecontainer 20 includes a first compartment 36 (FIG. 2 ) formed by both thebody 24 and thecap 28. The interior of thecontainer 20 further includes a second compartment 40 (FIGS. 2 and 3 ) formed solely by thecap 28. The first andsecond compartments cap 28, are separated from each other such that the contents of the first andsecond compartments FIGS. 2 and 3 , thefirst compartment 36 is substantially larger than thesecond compartment 40 in the illustrated construction of thecontainer 20. In other constructions, thesecond compartment 40 can be larger than thefirst compartment 20 or the first andsecond compartments - As shown in
FIGS. 2-4 , thecap 28 includes afirst part 44 having a slit-type opening 48. In the illustrated construction, the opening 48 in thefirst part 44 is generally star-shaped, being formed by six equally-spaced slits intersect at a center of the opening 48. Alternatively, the opening 48 can be other shapes. The opening 48 in thefirst part 44 of thecap 28 is configured to retain a sheet article (not shown) in a position to be grasped by a user. Typically, sheet articles are interleaved so that the dispensing of one sheet article positions a portion of the following sheet article in theopening 48 so that it may be easily grasped as desired. Thefirst part 44 of thecap 28 is selectively covered by afirst flap 52 of thelid 32. Thefirst flap 52 is rotatable between a closed position (FIG. 1 ) that closes and seals thefirst compartment 36 from the external environment and an open position (FIG. 3 ) that provides access to thefirst compartment 36 through the opening 48. - The
cap 28 further includes asecond part 56 adjacent thefirst part 44. Thesecond part 56 forms thesecond compartment 40 of thecontainer 20. Thesecond compartment 40 is accessible by asecond flap 60 rotatable between a closed position (FIG. 1 ) and an open position (FIG. 3 ). In the illustrated construction, thesecond flap 60 includes at least one opening 64 for venting thesecond compartment 40 when thesecond flap 60 is in the closed position. In other words, the interior of thesecond compartment 40 is in fluid communication with the external environment via opening 64 to facilitate venting of the interior of thesecond compartment 40. In other constructions, thesecond flap 60 may not include an opening and thesecond flap 60 may engage or be connected to thecap 28 in a manner that facilitates fluid communication with the environment. In yet other constructions, thesecond compartment 40 may not be in fluid communication with the environment. - In between the
first part 44 and thesecond part 56 of thecap 28, an attachment portion 68 (FIGS. 2 and 4 ) provides a location for coupling thelid 32 to thecap 28. Theattachment portion 68 of thecap 28 includes at least one opening 72 (FIG. 2 ) configured to receive a corresponding post 76 (FIG. 5 ) extending from acentral portion 80 of thelid 32 between the first andsecond flaps openings 72 in theattachment portion 68 receive fivecorresponding posts 76 of thelid 32. Alternatively, thecontainer 20 can include other components and means for attaching thelid 32 to thecap 28. - As shown in
FIG. 2 , thebody 24 includes arecessed edge 84 over which thecap 28 is positionable to removably connect thecap 28 to thebody 24. Thebody 24 and thecap 28 fit together at therecessed edge 84 allowing for thecap 28 to remain attached during normal use of thecontainer 20 and allowing for thecap 28 to be removed from thebody 24 to access thefirst compartment 36. Thefirst compartment 36 may be accessed periodically to replenish or replace the contents thereof. In one construction, thefirst compartment 36 contains a stack of interleaved “wet wipes” or moist tissues. The wet wipes may be individually dispensed through theopening 48 and used for cleaning various objects and/or body parts. Thefirst flap 52 of thelid 32 includes a peripheral rim 88 (FIG. 5 ) configured to selectively engage a corresponding edge 92 (seeFIG. 3 ) of thecap 28 to maintain thefirst flap 52 in the closed position and seal thefirst compartment 36 closed so that its contents do not dry out. - The
second compartment 40 is configured to contain one or more normally dry products such as a “dry wipe” or polishing cloth. Thesecond compartment 40, which is configured to contain one or more reusable items, may be smaller than thefirst compartment 36, which is configured to contain a bulk supply of one-time-use articles. Thesecond flap 60 of thelid 32 may be provided with a snap closure mechanism similar to that of the first flap 52 (i.e., rim 88 and edge 92). However, theopenings 64 in thesecond flap 60 expose thesecond compartment 40 and the contents therein to the external environment for purposes of ventilation. For example, thesecond compartment 40 may contain a reusable polishing or drying cloth that may become damp during use. When returned to storage in thesecond compartment 40, the cloth is able to dry-out due to the ventilation of thesecond compartment 40 provided by theopenings 64. - Thus, the
container 20 provides afirst compartment 36 for storage and dispensing of moist articles and asecond compartment 40 unitarily formed with thecap 28 for storage and ventilation of a normally dry article. In some constructions, thecontainer 20 provides a first compartment and a second compartment as described above, except that neither compartment is unitarily formed as part of thecap 28. For example, thebody 24 may include a separator wall dividing the interior space into a first compartment for storage and dispensing of moist articles and a second compartment for storage and ventilation of a normally dry article. It is also conceived that the compartment for storage and dispensing of moist articles may be unitarily formed with and as part of thecap 28, or that both of a first compartment for storage and dispensing of moist articles and a second compartment for storage and ventilation of a dry article are unitarily formed with and as part of thecap 28. -
FIGS. 6-10 illustrate acontainer 120 according to a second construction. Thecontainer 120 has similarities with thecontainer 20 illustrated inFIGS. 1-5 except for the particular differences pointed out below. Therefore, reference is made to the description above (relating to thecontainer 20 ofFIGS. 1-5 ) with respect to the features in common with thecontainer 120. Those features of thecontainer 120 in common with features of thecontainer 20 are labeled with reference numerals corresponding to those ofFIGS. 1-5 , but with each number incremented by 100 inFIGS. 6-10 . - The
container 120, including thebody 124 and thecap 128, is generally cylindrical as opposed to therectangular container 20 ofFIGS. 1-5 . In addition to rectangular and cylindrical, other known shapes may be utilized as well. These include other polyhedral and prismatic shapes as well as non-polyhedral and non-prismatic shapes. - Although illustrated as having a press fit at the recessed
edge 184 of thebody 124, the cylindrical shape of thebody 124 and thecap 128 allow thecontainer 120 to optionally be opened and closed for selectively accessing thefirst compartment 136 by a set of male and female threads provided on thebody 124 and thecap 128. Where this feature is desired, at least the mating portions of thebody 124 and thecap 128 can be of cylindrical form. - It should be understood that although the illustrated construction of the container is a dual-zone and dual-compartment container, the container is capable of having more than two zones and two compartments and still be within the spirit and scope of the present invention. Such constructions could have any combination of wet compartments and dry compartments.
- It should also be understood that a large variety of alternatives and variations exist to the constructions discussed above and illustrated in the drawings. The constructions described above and illustrated in the figures are presented by way of example only and are not intended as a limitation upon the concepts and principles of the present invention. One of ordinary skill in the art will be able to recognize such alternatives and variations from the disclosure herein and, therefore, such alternatives and variations are within the spirit and scope of the present invention.
