20150048105 | CONTAINER OF WIPES WITH DISPENSING NOZZLE - Referring to FIG. | 02-19-2015 |
20150069081 | SHEET STORAGE BOX - Conventional sheet storage boxes have problems that the sheet storage box with a sheet-fixing sheet pasted on the sheet-removing opening is wasteful from the point of view of resources and that, in the case of the sheet storage box without the sheet-fixing sheet pasted on the opening, the fixing of sheet becomes weaker as the opening itself becomes larger due to the excessively wide rim of the opening and when the rims of the opening are made too close, the rim of the opening partially becomes smaller and the resistance to remove the sheets becomes too large. To solve the above problems of the conventional sheet storage boxes, the present invention provides a sheet-removing opening by effectively forming the portion to remove the sheet easily from the opening and the portion to easily catch the sheet wherein, the shape of the rims of the opening of the sheet storage box designed to remove the sheet is formed in such a way that the movement of the sheet is reduced by adequately reducing the spatial area of the opening and the rims of the opening are converted to convex shape smooth curves to smoothly slide the sheet. | 03-12-2015 |
20150102050 | SYSTEM FOR DISPENSING NON-INTERTWINED WET WIPES IN A FLEXIBLE CONTAINER - The present invention refers to a flexible container for dispensing wet wipes which has a stack of non-intertwined wet wipes inside it.
