Two-sided personal disposable sanitary wipe and dry device

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to two-sided personal disposable wipe and more particularly to a two-sided personal disposable sanitary wipe and dry device that allows having a wet wipe and a dry wipe into one enhancing sanitization by rolling up the dirty side after use for disposal.

DESCRIPTION OF THE RELATED ART

Several designs for sanitary wipes have been designed in the past. None of them, however, include a disposable wipe which contains a cleaning layer, a drying layer along with a protection barrier.

Applicant believes that a related reference corresponds to U.S. Pat. No. 7,482,021 issued for two-sided wipe for cleaning and dry a skin surface. Applicant believes that another related reference corresponds to U.S. Pat. No. 5,595,807 issued for combination wet dry wipe. None of these references, however, teach of a disposable two-sided wipe wherein one side is impregnated with a liquid solution and the other side is dry and the wipe can be used to clean, along with a protective barrier.

Other documents describing the closest subject matter provide for a number of more or less complicated features that fail to solve the problem in an efficient and economical way. None of these patents suggest the novel features of the present invention.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

It is one of the objects of the present invention to provide an improved sanitary wipe for private areas that would offer cleaning, drying and disposal.

It is another object of this invention to provide a device that reduces the risk of odors, irritations, rashes, infections, and sores.

It is still another object of the present invention to eliminate the need to use separate wet and dry wipes.

It is yet another object of this invention to provide such a device that is inexpensive to implement and maintain while retaining its effectiveness.

Further objects of the invention will be brought out in the following part of the specification, wherein detailed description is for the purpose of fully disclosing the invention without placing limitations thereon.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS OF THE INVENTION

Referring now to the drawings, where the present invention is generally referred to with numeral 10, it can be observed that it basically includes, a cleaning assembly 20, a drying assembly 40 and a protection barrier assembly. It should be understood there are modifications and variations of the invention that are too numerous to be listed but that all fit within the scope of the invention. Also, singular words should be read as plural and vice versa and masculine as feminine and vice versa, where appropriate, and alternative embodiments do not necessarily imply that the two are mutually exclusive.

A cleaning assembly 20 includes a wet wipe 22, wherein said wet wipe 22 may have a rectangular shape, a circular shape, a square shape, a regular shape, an irregular shape, or any other suitable variation thereof. In a suitable embodiment, the wet wipe 22 may be made of a paper material, a cotton material, a polyethylene material, a polypropylene material, or any other suitable material variation thereof that permits absorption of a liquid substance. It is a preferred embodiment that the wet wipe 22 is capable of maintaining a dampened state while a cleanser liquid substance is impregnated on a proximal surface of the wet wipe 22. In an exemplary embodiment the total area of the wet wipe 22 may be suitable for a hand's user is capable of handling. In a suitable embodiment, the wet wipe 22 may be disposable. It should be considered that the wet wipe 22 may have a textured surface to enhance dirt removal while cleaning.

The present invention 10 further includes a drying assembly 40, wherein said dry wipe 42 may have a rectangular shape, a circular shape, a square shape, a regular shape, an irregular shape or any other suitable variation thereof. In a suitable embodiment, the dry wipe 42 may be made of a paper material, a cotton material, a polyethylene material, a polypropylene material, or any other suitable material variation thereof that permits absorption of a liquid substance, a moisture substance or any other variation thereof. It is a preferred embodiment that dry wipe 42 is capable of retaining a liquid substance after being in contact thereof. In an exemplary embodiment the total area of the dry wipe 22 may be suitable for a hand's user is capable of handling. In a suitable embodiment, the dry wipe 42 may be disposable. The dry wipe 42 may be symmetric or asymmetric in accordance with the shape of the wet wipe 22. It should be considered that the dry wipe 42 may have a textured surface to enhance dirt removal while cleaning.

In an exemplary embodiment, the present invention includes a protection barrier assembly 60, wherein the protection barrier assembly further includes a wet protection layer 62. In a suitable embodiment, the protection barrier assembly 60 may have a rectangular shape, a circular shape, a square shape, a regular shape, an irregular shape, or any other suitable variation thereof. The protection barrier layer 62 may be made of a polyester film, a polypropylene film, a cotton material, a rayon fiber material, or any other suitable material known in the art that may be impermeable. In a preferred embodiment, the wet protection layer 62 may have a symmetrical shape with respect to the shape of the dry protection barrier 62 and/or wet wipe, nonetheless, it should be considered that another shape with a suitable area to receive the dry wipe 42 and the wet wipe 22 may be considered for the wet protection layer.

FIG. 2 represents a wet wipe 22 attached to a rear surface of the wet protection layer 62 and the dry 42 wipe is attached to a front said thereof, wherein the wet wipe includes an inner pull tab 66 attached at a front side thereof to be handled by the user.
