Abstract

See full text

A wet wipe container having improved single handed opening and dispensing is disclosed. The container includes a container base, a container lid hingedly connected to the base and a closure. The front of the container lid defines a convex portion which extends outwardly and which includes a recess therein. The closure is provided by a tongue projection which extends from the container base and which is configured to extend through an aperture in the recess of the front wall of the lid. The recess and tongue projection are of sufficient size to allow easy access by a user's fingers to provide single handed opening. In one embodiment, the container lid also includes a sealing wall which is configured to provide frictional engagement with the interior of the container base when the container is closed to prevent moisture from escaping.
