ABSTRACT:
A dispenser for dispensing disposable wipes or the like having an aperture (30) in one face of the dispenser through which wipes may be dispensed. The aperture comprises a central opening (32) and two relatively thin elongated openings (34) which extend out from either side of the central opening. Protuberances (38) protrude into the elongated openings (34) from each side thereof. The protuberance from one side of each opening is preferably located adjacent to the corresponding protuberance from the other side, in a staggered arrangement.
A dispenser is also provided which comprises a hopper (4) to hold at least one stack of wipes, the hopper being receivable in and pivotally attached to an outer casing (6), in such a way that with the outer casing resting on the ground, or secured to a wall, the hopper may be opened in order to insert a stack of wipes.
