Title: Cleansing wipe pack

Description:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION  
      1. Field of the Invention  
      The invention relates to a cleansing wipe pack, more particularly to a cleansing wipe pack including a thin bag of a cleansing liquid for tissues stored in the cleansing wipe pack.  
      2. Description of the Related Art  
       FIGS. 1 and 2  illustrate a conventional cleansing wipe pack that includes a container  1  and a stack of tissues  2  that are wetted with a cleansing liquid and stored in the container  1 . Usually, for convenient access, the container  1  has a top wall formed with a top opening  10  for access to the tissues  2  stored in the container  1 . The container  1  further has a repositionable cover sheet  11  connected to the top wall of the container  1  for covering the top opening  10 . The cleansing wipe pack is disadvantageous in that the wetted tissues  2  gradually became dry after a period of time.  
     SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION  
      Therefore, the object of the present invention is to provide a cleansing wipe pack that includes a bag of a cleansing liquid to replenish the wet condition of tissues stored therein.  
      Accordingly, a cleansing wipe pack of the present invention comprises: a container; a stack of tissues stored in the container; a bag disposed in the container and defining an enclosed space therein; and an amount of a cleansing liquid stored sealingly in the enclosed space in the bag.

       FIG. 3  is a schematic sectional view of the preferred embodiment of a cleansing wipe pack according to the present invention; and  
       FIG. 4  is a schematic sectional view to illustrate how the tissues stored in a container of the preferred embodiment can be wetted by piercing a thin bag of a cleansing liquid disposed within the stack of the tissues with a needle. 
    
    
     DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT  
      Referring to  FIG. 3 , the preferred embodiment of a cleansing wipe pack according to the present invention is shown to be adapted for cleaning eyeglasses (not shown) and includes: a container  1 ; a stack  2  of tissues  21  stored in the container  1 ; a bag  3  disposed in the container  1  and defining an enclosed space therein; and an amount of a cleansing liquid  30  stored sealingly in the enclosed space in the bag  3 .  
      In this embodiment, the tissues  21  are pre-wetted with the cleansing liquid  30 . The container  1  is made from a plastic material, has a topwall  12 , and is formed with a top opening  10  in the top wall  12  for access to the tissues  21  in the container  1 . The container  1  further has a cover sheet  11  connected to the top wall  12  of the container  1  for covering the top opening  10  so as to prevent drying of the tissues  21  in the container  1 . The bag  3  is made from a plastic material, is thin, is disposed within the stack  2  of the tissues  21  in the container  1 , and has top and bottom walls  300 ,  301 . The tissues  21  disposed under the bag  3  are protected by the bag  3  so that undesired drying of the tissues  21  can be deterred. When the tissues  21  in the container  1  became dry after a period of time, the wet condition of the tissues  21  can be replenished by piercing the top and bottom walls  300 ,  301  of the bag  3  with a needle  4  (as best shown in  FIG. 4 ), which results in seeping of the cleansing liquid  30  through holes  33  formed in the bottom wall  301  of the bag  3  and holes  32  formed in the top wall  300  of the bag  3 .  
      Alternatively, the tissues  21  stored in the container  1  may be originally in a dry state. As such, the tissues  21  are maintained in the dry state during storage, and are wetted by conducting the aforesaid piercing operation prior to use.  
      With the inclusion of the bag  3  of the cleansing liquid  30  in the cleansing wipe pack of this invention, the aforesaid drawback of the prior art can be eliminated.  
      While the present invention has been described in connection with what is considered the most practical and preferred embodiment, it is understood that this invention is not limited to the disclosed embodiment but is intended to cover various arrangements included within the spirit and scope of the broadest interpretation so as to encompass all such modifications and equivalent arrangements.
