Abstract

A wipe container that includes a cover member that has a cavity, at least one wipe received in the cavity of the cover member, a base member that has a fluid reservoir, and a partition that is disposed between the cover and base members. The cover member, the base member, and the partition are sealed together to create a perimeter seal. The partition creates a barrier between the wipe on one side and cleaner on the other side. The container can be introduced into a clean room. Just prior to use, the partition is split open so that the cleaner mixes with water on the wipes.

a partition disposed between said cover and base members, said partition being formed of a membrane that can be split open by said at least one puncture member of said base member; and
at least one fill port in fluid communication with said fluid reservoir,
wherein at least said base member and said partition are sealed together to create a perimeter seal, wherein the cavity and fluid reservoir are inside the perimeter seal and said at least one fill port provided in the perimeter seal.

2. A wipe container of claim 1 , wherein said fluid reservoir holds a cleaning fluid.

3. A wipe container according to claim 2 , wherein said cleaning fluid is peroxide.

4. A wipe container according to claim 1 , wherein said membrane is foil, polyethylene, or polypropylene.

9. A wipe container, comprising:
a first container having a cavity;
at least one wipe received in said cavity of said first container;
a second container having a fluid reservoir filled with fluid;
a fluid-impermeable film partition disposed between said first container and second container so that fluid does not pass between the second container and the first container;
a perimeter seal comprising a perimeter of each of said first container, second container, and said fluid-impermeable film partition; and
a puncture member configured to puncture the fluid-impermeable film partition to permit fluid to pass between the second container and the first container.

10. The container of claim 9 , further comprising a fill-port provided in the perimeter seal that is in fluid communication with said fluid reservoir.

11. The container of claim 9 , further comprising a dispensing slot disposed in the first container for dispensing said at least one wipe.

12. A wipe container according to claim 11 , wherein said dispensing slot being remote from said reservoir.

13. The container of claim 9 , wherein the fluid-impermeable film partition is a membrane that is one of foil, polyethylene, or polypropylene.
