ABSTRACT:
The invention is a disposable wiper unit adapted for cleaning a dipstick. The unit includes an outer casing having foldable sides. Centrally located on the casing is an absorbent block of material. Extending through the center of the absorbent material is a slot that is sized to inwardly receive a portion of the dipstick. The user can fold the sides of the case to partially compress the absorbent material onto the dipstick to enable a positive wiping action as the dipstick is drawn through the absorbent material. When not in use, the sides of the case can be folded downwardly to reduce the device's profile and allow the device to be compressed between portions of the vehicle. In the preferred embodiment, the case is manufactured from a creased, planar sheet of cardboard.
