3. The lid assembly of claim 1 , wherein the cover panel is hingedly coupled to the frame by at least one of a living hinge, a butterfly hinge, a bi-fold hinge, a butt hinge, a concealed hinge, or a continuous hinge.
4. The lid assembly of claim 1 , wherein the frame defines an orifice therein, the orifice of the frame being larger than the orifice of the inner panel.
5. The lid assembly of claim 1 , wherein a surface area of the frame is less than a surface area of the inner panel.
6. The lid assembly of claim 1 , wherein the lid assembly is configured to be coupled to a container for dispensing wipes.
7. The lid assembly of claim 1 , wherein the cover panel includes a cover latching member extending outwardly from an inner surface thereof, the cover latching member disposed along a free end,
wherein the frame is moveable between a closed position and an open position, wherein the frame includes a frame sidewall having a projection, wherein the cover latching member is lockable with the projection of the frame sidewall when the inner panel is in the closed position to lock the cover with the frame.
8. The lid assembly of claim 1 , wherein the inner panel is unlocked from the frame by a force applied towards the orifice of the inner panel and against the panel projection of the panel latching member.
9. The lid assembly of claim 1 , wherein the frame projection and the panel projection have cammed surfaces.
10. The lid assembly of claim 1 ,
wherein the inner panel includes a first finger, a second finger, and a third finger, wherein the first finger, the second finger, and the third finger define a first the orifice between the bottom surface and the top surface of the inner panel.
11. The lid assembly of claim 10 , wherein each of the first finger, the second finger, and the third finger includes an apex, wherein the apex of the first finger and the third finger is directed towards the first longitudinal side of the frame and the apex of the second finger is directed away from the first longitudinal side of the frame.
12. The lid assembly of claim 11 , wherein the apex of the first finger is defined by a first inside radius and the apex of the second finger is defined by a second inside radius, and wherein the first inside radius is less than the second inside radius.
13. The lid assembly of claim 11 , wherein the apex of the third finger is defined by a third inside radius and the apex of the second finger is defined by a second inside radius, and wherein the third inside radius is less than the second inside radius.
14. The lid assembly of claim 4 , wherein the orifice of the inner panel at least partially obstructs the orifice of the frame when the inner panel is in the closed position.
15. The lid assembly of claim 1 , wherein a width dimension of the orifice of the inner panel at an apex of the second finger is twice a width dimension of the orifice of the inner panel at either of an apex of the first finger or an apex of the third finger.
16. The lid assembly of claim 10 , wherein the orifice of the inner panel has a W shape.
17. The lid assembly of claim 10 , wherein a dimension of the orifice of the inner panel tapers from an apex of the second finger to an apex of the first finger, and wherein a dimension of the first orifice of the inner panel tapers from the apex of the second finger to an apex of the third finger.
18. The lid assembly of claim 10 , wherein a width of the orifice of the inner panel is consistent from a first end of the orifice of the inner panel to a second end of the orifice of the inner panel, wherein the second end is opposite the first end.
19. The lid assembly of claim 6 , wherein the orifice of the inner panel is aligned with the orifice of the frame in the closed position and the orifice of the inner panel and the orifice of the frame are configured to permit a dispensing wipe therethrough.
20. The lid assembly of claim 6 , wherein the cover panel is configured to protect contents within the container.
