Wipes
First Claim
1. A container, comprising:
- a nozzle or opening, anda roll of wipes formed from a continuous length of material with parallel side edges having a leading end and a trailing end, the container containing and dispensing the wipes in a direction parallel to the axis of the roll through the nozzle or opening of the container;
the wipes having rupturable lines spaced along the length of material separating each wipe, said rupturable lines extending from a point on one first side edge to a point on the other second side edge so that the wipes separated by the rupturable line are joined across the entire length of the rupturable line, and each rupturable line being progressively more difficult to rupture along its length from the second side edge to the first side edge;
the roll of wipes being arranged so that the harder to rupture point on the rupturable line emerges from the nozzle or opening before the rupturable line at the point on the first side edge, the nozzle or opening creating a resistive force that causes the rupturable line to rupture after the second side edge has emerged from the nozzle or opening.

Abstract
The invention relates to a container haying a nozzle or opening (11), containing a roll of wipes, for dispensation in a direction parallel to the axis of the roll through the nozzle or opening of the container. The wipes (1) are formed from a continuous length of material (2) with parallel side edges (2A,2B) having a leading end (3A) and a ‘trailing end (3B). The rupturable lines (4) extend from a point (5A) on one first side edge (2A) to a point (5B) on the second side edge (2B). Each rupturable line is more easily ruptured adjacent the second side edge than the first side edge. The wipes are arranged such that said point on the first side edge of the rupturable line emerges from the nozzle or opening before said point on the second side edge.
