Patent ID: 7654412

Claim:
A dispensing system for dispensing a wet wipe, the dispensing system comprising: a container; a wet wipe disposed in the container, the wet wipe comprising an aqueous solution and microencapsulated delivery vehicles including a temperature change agent, the temperature change agent being capable of changing the temperature of the wipe upon contact with the aqueous solution, the container being configured to permit removal of the at least one wet wipe therefrom; and an activating device configured to contact the wet wipe as the wet wipe is dispensed from the dispensing system, the activating device comprising a bearing surface and a roller in opposed, spaced relationship with the bearing surface to define a nip therebetween to facilitate rupturing of the microencapsulated delivery vehicles as the wet wipe is removed from the container, the spacing between the bearing surface and the roller being in the range of from about 0.1 mm to about 10 mm to apply a rupturing force to the microencapsulated delivery vehicles of the wet wipe in the range of from about 0.001 to about 250 pounds per linear inch, whereby the rupturing of the microencapsulated delivery vehicles allows for contact between the temperature change agent and the aqueous solution of the wet wipe to thereby dispense a wet wipe.
