ABSTRACT:
A centerflow dispenser for dispensing saturated wipers is disclosed which includes a dispensing nozzle affixed to the container of wet wipes. The nozzle has included therewith a rotatable dispensing disk through which the rolled web is dispensed. The rotatable disk has a dispensing orifice therethrough which includes a node and a plurality of contiguous appendages such that the disk will rotate to the path of least resistance as the saturated wipers are drawn through the dispensing orifice regardless of the direction of extraction of the web through the orifice. One or more drain holes are provided through the dispensing disk to allow liquid squeezed from the wiper as it is drawn through the dispensing orifice to pass back into the container. The nozzle includes a funneled or frusto-conical section which collects any liquid squeezed or which may drip from the wiper as it is extracted from the container to thereby direct such liquid toward the drain holes in dispensing disk. A cap is provided which sealingly engages the nozzle to limit vapor emissions from the container when the cap is in the closed position.
