Wet wipe lid with 3d angled wall keyhole squeegee

Abstract

A lid for a wet wipes dispenser includes a dispenser lid base section and reclosable cover to the dispenser lid base section. The dispenser lid base section includes an interior wall supporting an interior ridge defining a wet wipe opening. A keyhole squeegee is disposed in the interior ridge and extending into the wet wipe opening. The keyhole squeegee has angled walls which define an angled keyhole channel leading to an open side of a frusto conical section. The angled walls and the frusto conical section extend outward from the interior ridge. The wet wipes dispenser also includes a reclosable cover. A method of drawing a wet wipe from a wet wipe dispenser is also described.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A lid for a wet wipes dispenser comprising:
 a dispenser lid base section comprising:
 an interior wall supporting an interior ridge defining a wet wipe opening; 
 a keyhole squeegee disposed in said interior ridge and extending into said wet wipe opening, said keyhole squeegee having angled walls, said angled walls defining an angled keyhole channel leading to an open side of a frusto conical section, said angled walls and said frusto conical section extending outward from said interior ridge; and 
   a reclosable cover.   
     
     
         2 . The lid of  claim 1 , wherein said keyhole squeegee is disposed at about a front of said lid. 
     
     
         3 . The lid of  claim 1 , wherein said keyhole squeegee is disposed about opposite to a hinge of said openable cover. 
     
     
         4 . The lid of  claim 1 , further comprising at least one or more channel walls disposed on an interior surface of said frusto conical section. 
     
     
         5 . The lid of  claim 4 , wherein said one or more channel walls comprise an about U cross section or an about rectangular cross section. 
     
     
         6 . The lid of  claim 4 , wherein said one or more channel walls comprise an about circular cross section. 
     
     
         7 . The lid of  claim 1 , wherein said interior ridge defines an about oval opening. 
     
     
         8 . The lid of  claim 1 , comprising a recessed surface disposed in said interior ridge about adjacent to said frusto conical section. 
     
     
         9 . The lid of  claim 1 , wherein said openable cover comprises a ridge or a trough. 
     
     
         10 . The lid of  claim 1 , wherein said angled walls comprise an angle in a range of about 90 degrees to 40 degrees with respect to a broad surface of said interior ridge. 
     
     
         11 . The lid of  claim 1 , wherein said angled walls comprise an angle in a range of about 90 degrees to 70 degrees with respect to a broad surface of said interior ridge. 
     
     
         12 . The lid of  claim 1 , wherein an outer wall of said lid comprises a ridge or a trough adapted to mate to a wet wipe dispenser body. 
     
     
         13 . The lid of  claim 1 , wherein said lid further comprises a wet well. 
     
     
         14 . The lid of  claim 13 , wherein said wet well is defined by an upper internal wall and an upper internal ridge. 
     
     
         15 . The lid of  claim 1 , wherein said reclosable cover to said dispenser lid base section comprises a wall which slidingly engages an upper internal wall to provide a seal when said openable cover is closed. 
     
     
         16 . The lid of  claim 1 , wherein said reclosable cover comprises an interference fit with said dispenser lid base section. 
     
     
         17 . The lid of  claim 1 , wherein said keyhole squeegee comprises at least one rounded over edge feature. 
     
     
         18 . The lid of  claim 1 , wherein said lid comprises a polypropylene. 
     
     
         19 . The lid of  claim 1 , wherein said lid comprises a high density polyethylene. 
     
     
         20 . A method of drawing a wet wipe from a wet wipe dispenser comprising
 providing a wet wipe dispenser with a keyhole squeegee including an angled keyhole channel leading to an open side of a frusto conical section and a lid guide wall disposed in a lid of said wet wipe dispenser;   drawing a wet wipe through an opening in said lid;   guiding said wet wipe along said lid guide wall into said keyhole squeegee; and   drawing said wet wipe through said keyhole squeegee to remove said wet wipe while removing an excess wet wipe fluid which is returned to a body of said wet wipe dispenser.
