Wipe storage system

Abstract

A wipe storage system for containing wipes includes a first receptacle defining a first cavity and a second receptacle defining a second cavity. The first cavity is configured to receive the second receptacle, while the second cavity is configured to hold wipes. The second receptacle may be refillable and/or replaceable when depleted of wipes. The first receptacle is configured to be reused when the second receptacle is depleted of wipes. At least one of the first receptacle and the second receptacle may provide a hermetically sealed environment for preserving the integrity of the wipes.

       23 . The system of  claim 18 , wherein the second receptacle is configured to provide a hermetic seal.  
   
   
       24 . The system of  claim 23 , wherein the platform includes a first connector configured to releasably engage a second connector provided on the body portion to provide the hermetic seal.  
   
   
       25 - 33 . (canceled)  
   
   
       34 . The system of  claim 11 , wherein the first receptacle is a compact container providing a discreet container for holding wipes.  
   
   
       35 . The system of  claim 11 , wherein the first receptacle is configured to be reused when the second receptacle is depleted of wipes.  
   
   
       36 . The system of  claim 35 , wherein the first receptacle is configured to be reused by refilling the second receptacle with wipes.  
   
   
       37 . The system of  claim 35 , wherein the first receptacle is configured to be reused by replacing the second receptacle with a third receptacle.  
   
   
       38 - 45 . (canceled)  
   
   
       46 . A wipe storage system for holding wipes, the system comprising: 
 means for enclosing a second receptacle configured to hold wipes within a first receptacle; and    means for allowing the first receptacle to be reused when the second receptacle is selectively removed from the first receptacle.    
   
   
       47 . The system of  claim 46 , further comprising means for substantially maintaining a hermetically sealed environment.  
   
   
       48 - 49 . (canceled)  
   
   
       50 . The system of  claim 46 , wherein means for allowing the first receptacle to be reused includes means for replacing the second receptacle when depleted of wipes with a third receptacle.  
   
   
       51 . A method of manufacturing a wipe storage system having second receptacle configured to hold wipes and a first receptacle configured to support the second receptacle, the method comprising: 
 inserting a second receptacle defining a second cavity for containing wipes into the first receptacle defining a first cavity; and    detachably coupling the second receptacle to the first receptacle to allow a the second receptacle to be selectively removed from the first receptacle.    
   
   
       52 . The method of  claim 51 , further comprising the step of providing a hermetically sealed environment for the wipes.  
   
   
       53 . (canceled)  
   
   
       54 . The method of  claim 51 , further comprising the step of configuring the second receptacle to be refillable when depleted of wipes.  
   
   
       55 . The method of  claim 51 , further comprising the step of configuring the second receptacle to be discarded when depleted of wipes.  
   
   
       56 - 59 . (canceled)  
   
   
       60 . The system of  claim 11 , wherein the second receptacle is detachably coupled with the first receptacle and configured to be removed when depleted of wipes.  
   
   
       61 . The system of  claim 11 , wherein the cavity includes an auxiliary storage area configured to support an additional article.
