Wet wipe dispensing system
First Claim
1. A dispensing system for dispensing wet wipes capable of providing a temperature change upon use, the dispensing system comprising:
- a wet wipe container having an internal compartment for containing wet wipes;
a wet wipe disposed in the internal compartment of the wet wipe container, the wet wipe comprising an aqueous solution, the wet wipe container being configured to permit removal of the wet wipe from the internal compartment;
a lotion container having an internal compartment separate from the internal compartment of the wet wipe container;
a lotion contained within the internal compartment of the lotion container free from contact with the wet wipe disposed in the internal compartment of the wet wipe container, the lotion comprising a temperature change agent capable of changing the temperature of the wet wipe upon contact with the aqueous solution; and
a lotion dispenser operable to dispense lotion from the lotion container to the wet wipe after removing the wet wipe from the wet wipe container to thereby facilitate contact between the temperature change agent and the aqueous solution of the wet wipe.

Abstract
The present disclosure relates to wet wipe dispensing systems for dispensing wet wipes capable of changing temperature upon use. In one embodiment, the dispensing system includes a wet wipe container and a lotion container that is held in assembly with the wet wipe container that contains a lotion that is kept separate from the wet wipes until the wet wipe is dispensed from the wet wipe container. The lotion includes a microencapsulated delivery vehicle that contains a temperature change agent that is capable of generating a temperature change upon contact with an aqueous solution. Once the wet wipe is dispensed from the system, an applicating device can apply the lotion to the wet wipe to facilitate contact between the temperature change agent in the microencapsulated delivery vehicle and the aqueous solution of the wet wipe.

21. A process for producing a wet wipe capable of providing a temperature change upon use, the process comprising:
-
storing a wet wipe in a wet wipe container, the wet wipe comprising an aqueous solution; storing lotion in a lotion container such that the lotion is free from contact with the wet wipe, the lotion comprising a temperature change agent capable of changing the temperature of the wet wipe upon contact with the aqueous solution; and dispensing lotion from the lotion container onto the wet wipe. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32)

33. A dispensing system for dispensing wet wipes capable of providing a temperature change upon use, the dispensing system comprising:
-
a wet wipe container having an internal compartment for containing wet wipes, the wet wipe container comprising a closure for closing the wet wipe container, the closure being operable between a closed position and an open position in which the at least one wet wipe is removable from the wet wipe container, and a securement mechanism capable of releasably securing the closure in its closed position, the securement mechanism being operatively connected to the lotion dispenser such that operation of the lotion dispenser to deliver lotion onto the wet wipe releases the closure from its closed position to permit movement of the closure to its open position; a wet wipe disposed in the internal compartment of the wet wipe container, the wet wipe comprising an aqueous solution, the wet wipe container being configured to permit removal of the wet wipe from the internal compartment; a lotion container having an internal compartment separate from the internal compartment of the wet wipe container; a lotion contained within the internal compartment of the lotion container free from contact with the wet wipe disposed in the internal compartment of the wet wipe container, the lotion comprising a temperature change agent capable of changing the temperature of the wet wipe upon contact with the aqueous solution; and a lotion dispenser arranged relative to the wet wipe container to dispense lotion from the lotion container onto the wet wipe after removing the wet wipe from the wet wipe container and while the wet wipe is disposed at least in part within the internal compartment of the wet wipe container to thereby facilitate contact between the temperature change agent and the aqueous solution of the wet wipe.

34. A dispensing system for dispensing wet wipes capable of providing a temperature change upon use, the dispensing system comprising:
-
a wet wipe container having an internal compartment for containing wet wipes, the wet wipe container comprising a closure for closing the wet wipe container, the closure being operable between a closed position and an open position in which the wet wipe is removable from the wet wipe container, and a securement mechanism capable of releasably securing the closure in its closed position and being operable to release the closure from its closed position for movement of the closure to its open position, the lotion dispenser being operatively connected to the securement mechanism such that operation of the securement mechanism to release the closure from its closed position operates the lotion dispenser to deliver lotion onto the wet wipe; a wet wipe disposed in the internal compartment of the wet wipe container, the wet wipe comprising an aqueous solution, the wet wipe container being configured to permit removal of the wet wipe from the internal compartment; a lotion container having an internal compartment separate from the internal compartment of the wet wipe container; a lotion contained within the internal compartment of the lotion container free from contact with the wet wipe disposed in the internal compartment of the wet wipe container, the lotion comprising a temperature change agent capable of changing the temperature of the wet wipe upon contact with the aqueous solution; and a lotion dispenser arranged relative to the wet wipe container to dispense lotion from the lotion container onto the wet wipe after removing the wet wipe from the wet wipe container and while the wet wipe is disposed at least in part within the internal compartment of the wet wipe container to thereby facilitate contact between the temperature change agent and the aqueous solution of the wet wipe.
