Abstract

A wipe package includes an impregnated wipe, a sealed package containing the impregnated wipe and having an exterior surface and internal formulary reservoir to provide additional formulary to the impregnated wipe and at least one region on the exterior surface to secure the package to a user'"'"'s hand or finger when using the impregnated wipe. The sealed package includes a front sheet, a first rear sheet having an interior surface and an exterior surface, and a second rear sheet. The impregnated wipe is secured to an interior surface of the first rear sheet, and at least the front sheet and the first rear sheet seal the impregnated wipe. The formulary reservoir is placed adjacent to the impregnated wipe to provide additional formulary. The package materials of the front and rear sheets protect the user'"'"'s hand from contamination by the impregnated formulary during application.

Claims

1. A wipe package comprising:

an impregnated wipe;

a formulary reservoir to dispense additional formulary to the impregnated wipe;

a sealed package containing the impregnated wipe and formulary reservoir.

The sealed package having an exterior surface to protect the user'"'"'s hand during application from contamination by the impregnated formulary of said package.

2. The package of claim 1 wherein at least one receptacle on said exterior surface to secure the package to a user'"'"'s hand or finger when using the impregnated wipe.

3. The package of claim 2, wherein the receptacle includes a pocket configured to receive at least a part of the user'"'"'s hand.

4. The package of claim 3, wherein the package includes two receptacles, each receptacle including a pocket configured to receive at least a part of the user'"'"'s hand.

5. The package of claim 4, wherein the receptacles are positioned on a surface of the package that is opposite the wipe when in use, and wherein the receptacles are spaced apart on said surface so that each receptacle receives at least a part of the user'"'"'s hand.

6. The package of claim 5, wherein the receptacles are positioned substantially parallel to each other of said surface when the package is in use.

7. The package of claim 5, wherein the receptacles are positioned in opposite corners of said surface when the package is in use.

8. The package of claim 1, wherein the receptacle includes a strap configured to receive at least a part of the user'"'"'s hand.

9. The package of claim 8, wherein the strap includes a strip of material secured to said exterior surface.

10. The package of claim 1, wherein the package includes two receptacles, a first receptacle including a pocket configured to receive at least a part of the user'"'"'s hand, and a second receptacle including a strap configured to receive at least a part of the user'"'"'s hand.

11. The package of claim 10, wherein the receptacles are positioned substantially parallel to each other on said surface when the package is in use.

12. The package of claim 1, wherein the package includes two receptacles, each receptacle including a strap configured to receive at least a part of the user'"'"'s hand.

13. The package of claim 12, wherein the receptacles are positioned substantially parallel to each other on said surface when the package is in use.

14. The package of claim 12, wherein the receptacles are positioned at an angle with respect to each other on said surface when the package is in use.

15. The package of claim 1, wherein the receptacle includes an adhesive layer configured to adhere to at least a part of the package to a specific location.

16. The package of claim 1, wherein the receptacle includes an opening configured to receive at least a part of the user'"'"'s hand.

17. The package of claim 1, wherein the impregnated wipe, in use, has a substantially rectangular shape.

18. The package of claim 1, wherein the impregnated wipe has a substantially rectangular shaped part and a curvilinear shaped part.

19. The package of claim 18, wherein the package includes two receptacles, a first receptacle including a pocket configured to receive at least a part of the user'"'"'s hand and positioned within the curvilinear shaped part, and a second receptacle including a strap configured to receive at least a part of the user'"'"'s hand and positioned within the rectangular shaped part.

20. The package of claim 1, wherein the sealed package includes a front sheet, a first rear sheet having an interior surface and an exterior surface, an a second rear sheet, wherein the impregnated wipe is secured to an interior surface of said first rear sheet, wherein at least the front sheet and the first rear sheet seal the impregnated wipe and contain the formulary reservoir, and wherein the receptacle is formed between the exterior surface of the first rear sheet and the second rear sheet.

21. The package of claim 20, wherein the receptacle includes a pocket formed between the first and second rear sheets.

22. The package of claim 21, wherein the pocket is formed by separating at least the first and rear sheets.

23. The package of claim 20, wherein the first rear sheet forms a non-permeable membrane between the impregnated wipe and the user'"'"'s hand.

24. The package of claim 20, further comprising a non-permeable layer between the impregnated wipe and the first rear sheet.

25. The package of claim 24, wherein the non-permeable layer is formed by treating a rear surface of the impregnated wipe with a compound so as to make the rear surface non-permeable to formulary used to impregnate the wipe.

26. The package of claim 1, wherein the sealed package includes a front sheet, a rear sheet, and a non-permeable layer on a rear surface of the impregnated wipe formulary reservoir, wherein at least the front sheet and the non-permeable layer seal the impregnated wipe, and wherein the receptacle is formed between the rear sheet and the non-permeable layer of the impregnated wipe.

27. The package of claim 26, wherein the receptacle includes a pocket.
