Abstract
FACIAL TISSUE CONTAINER FOR MOUNTING UNDER A STRUCTURE
ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE
A permanent facial tissue container for mounting on the underside of a household kitchen top cabinet or under the counter of a Hotel/Motel bathroom where the pleasing, pliable, plastic container may be inverted and permanently mounted for dispensing facial tissues through the end opening and which allows the removal of one tissue at a time to the last tissue in the container.
The enclosed invention relates to the inventor's previously applied for patent, serial number 2097527, dated June 2nd, 1993, entitled "TISSUE BOX FOR BULK TISSUE PACKETS", wherein the inventor makes claim for a facial tissue container with an end opening in the end wall for the progressive removal of facial tissues one at a time. This previous invention of an end opening container for bulk tissue packets was for a free-standing container where the embodiments of the invention are similar to the enclosed invention of an end opening container which is designed to be attached on the underside of a support structure and embodies the features of the inventor's previous invention in an inverted and attached horizontal fashion.
The end opening of the container allows the tissues which are folded so that they are interlayered lengthwise by the tissues being folded on each other in lengthwise interplys where the top tissue is pulled through the end opening of the container it facilitates the progressive removal of tissues from such a container through the discharge opening in the end wall of the container. The tissue, when being removed, pulls the second tissue which is interlayered out through the end opening and because it is an end opening the friction between the plys of tissue causes the tissue to be pulled along lengthwise by the friction between the layers out through the end opening. The tissue when removed allows the next tissue to slightly protrude through the end opening where it too can be easily removed. Because the tissues are removed lengthwise, the greatest possible friction between the interlayers helps maintain the proper amount of friction to allow the next tissue to be partly removed and the top floating plate over the tissues which floats on top of the tissue packet helps maintain an even and constant pressure on the top tissue. The top floating plate is crowned to allow a space on top of the tissue and the underside of the plate in order that the tissues can easily be removed.
The bottom attachment plate of the container is secured to the underside of the support structure and the facial tissue container is hinged to the rear of the attachment plate which allows it to be hinged down to remove the top floating plate and remove a selected number of folded tissues to be used elsewhere as a packet of tissues. The top floating plate is replaced and the container is hinged up and snapped into place on the attachment plate where a single tissue protrudes through the end opening.
The facial tissue container can be attached on the underside of the structure of a Hotel/Motel bathroom counter or table in a guestroom where the tissue protrudes but the container is only partially visible and the inverted container is rigidly attached for security reasons and as with the kitchen cabinet where the facial tissue protrudes through the end opening is readily visible to the user and is in a known location familiar to the user and leaves the counter space completely free.

Description
m e present invention relates generally to the containers or boxes of facial tissues which are designed to allow and facilitate the progressive removal of tissues from such a box through the discharge end o~ening which facilitates the removal of one tissue at a time and are designed for household and personal use and in the Hotel/Mbtel ba~hroom and guestroom areas.
The facial tissue box has never really found its proper place in the household kitchen and is typically found on top of the refrigerator or some other unaccessible location.
A facial tissue is often needed in the kitchen for hygienic purposes or for small cleanups but the user selects a more expensive Faper towel because they are more accessible in that the top opening facial tissue box with the protruding tissue is also not conducive to the kitchen in that th~ tissue can become contaminated.
An object of this invention is to provide a facial tissue container which is mounted on the underside of the kitchen top cabinet where it is out of sight except for the protruding tissue and where the facial tissue is alw ys in the same location and leaves the counter space c~mEletely free for other purposes and because the tissue extends horizontally it is protected from being oontiminated but always rea~dily accessible.
Another object of the invention is to provide a facial tissue --- 2 1 ~
container which can hold a larger nunber of tissues and can also be used for the removal of a set number of interlayered tissues which can then be used as a packet of facial tissues for use elsewhere. The facial tissue container is quickly released and hinged down to remove a pack of more than one tissue and does not disturb the remaining tissues in the container.
Another object of the invention is to provide a low cost, permanent container made of semi-rigid injection molded plastic in various solid ~-colours for permanently attaching to the underside of a structure and can be quickly released with a push bar to allow it to be hinged down for easy access or to be completely removed from the attachment bottom plate for washing of the container for sanitary purposes and for placing a new packet of tissues in the container.
A further object of this invention is to provide a penmanent, new ,,-and novel, container which will accept packets of facial tissues which have been compressed and restrained by a plastic sleeve or paper wrapper which are further enclosed and compressed in a plastic wrap~er bulk packa~e of nine or twelve tissue packets. The bulk packs and ccmpressed packets will reduce volume required for shipping and warehouse space ~-and these savings will reduce the cost to the manufacturer for the now used cardboard boxes and the corrugated cardboard boxes used for transportation with substantial reductions in household waste to the municipal landfill sites. The bulk packs will mean a higher return to the manufacturer and reduced prices to the end user and savings to the environment.
Another obj~ct of this invention is to provide a reusable container --- with an end opening where the tissues are removed horizontally from the `~ end opening. Because the tissues depend on the interply friction 2~J~5 bet~-een the layers to be progressively removed, the horizontal design allows for a greater area of friction to assist in tissue removal. The end opening of the container is not affected by gravity which disrupts the tissue removal with top opening containers or boxes which are now the standard for the industry.
Another object of this invention is to provide a separate floating top friction F~ate which is crowned or raised on the centerline portion which will then allow a space to be provided between the top of the tissues and the underside of the friction plate to prevent the tissues fran being jamned against the top plate as they are placed inside the container which causes the first lot of tissues to be restricted when they are removed and causes theln to tear and be wasted. mis space is provided under the top friction plate which floats on top of the tissue packet as the tissues are removed as shown in the drawings. m e top floating plate provides a positive pressure to the tw~ edges of the tissues to maintain the friction necessary for proper tissue removal and leaves a space to facilita~e the removal of the tissues at the centerline of the container and prevents jamning and tearing of the tissues when they are removed.
Broadly, the present invention provides a reusable container for tissues which are supplied in a b~lk packet and which are removed at the end of the container, one tissue at a time. The floating friction plate to the top of the tissue packet assists in controlling the interply 2 ~ UJ2~1~
friction between the plys of tissues to allow one tissue to be removed at any time. The container is fitted with a detachable bottcm Elate for attachment to the underside of the support structure similar to a kitchen top cabinet in a horizontal inverted position. The bottcm attachment plate is fitted with a quick release feature which allows the container to be hinged down or to be ccmpletely removed for washing or for receiving a new tissue packet.
m e packet of interlayered tissues of a preset width and length and of 300 tissues, more or less, are ccmpressed in height and held with a wrapper or poly sleeve and then multiples of these packets are further compressed and placed in a poly wrap in multiples of six, nine or twelve to form an economical bulk package of facial tissues in a low cost plastic wrap bag, the faciaL tissue will be provided in a more economical and efficient, bulk facial tissue packet, which is a saving to the manufacturer and the end user and the environment and reduces landfill volumes and costs.
~ ven before bulk packs of facial tissue packets are manu~actured and sold it is possible to remove the facial tissues frcm the now familiar disposable tissue boxes, which have interfolded tissues, and place the pack of tissue inside the end opening container for use in the kitchen or other household area such as a bathroom or baby change table as impaied by this invention.

In FIGURE (6B) which is a section thru the end hinge area of the bottan attachnent plate, the kitchen cabinet bottom (41) supports the attachment plate (20) where the rear hinge (25) protrudes thru the slot (5A) at the rear wall (5) of the container.
Referring to FIGURES (7) and (8) of the top floating plate, the FIGURE (7) is the end view whereas the FIGURE (8) is the plan view of the top floating plate showing the front edges (16) at the end ~
opening where the eleptical cutout (15) allows the progressive removal of tissue and the ups~ept edges (12) allow the edges (11) of the plate to rest on the tissue packet with the longitudinal centerline (13) which results in the open space (14) underneath the top floating plate and the direction in which the tissues are removed is shown as an imFosed arrow (18).
Referring to FIGURES (9, 10, and 11) the end view of the inverted - ~ 15 container (1) is shown attached to the bottom attachment plate (20) ~-which is again attached to the kitchen counter (41) with the counter doors (42) and the end hinge (25) and the slot (5A) in the end wall of the inverted container.
In FIGURE (9) the top floating pl~te (10) is showl on a horizontal ~-plane (11) where the protruding tissue (31) is shown thru the end opening (8) in the end wall (2) of the container (1) and the packet of tissues (30) and the bottcm of the top floating plate (10) are basically level and horizontal on the lines (11) and (11B).
In FIGURE (10) where a tissue is being renw ed (31) to protrude further to location (31A) the top floating plate is elevated vertically on a slight incline from (11B) to (11C) which allows the tissue to project vertically up against the top floating plate (10) and the plate ` - moves forward from location (17) to location (17B) with the front edges of the plate (16) resting against the front wall (2) at the location (16~) and the second tissue (31B) is slightly projecte~ thru the end opening (8) in the end w~ll (2).
With FIGURE (11) the projecting tissue (31A) has now been removed arxl the second progressive tissue (31B) is now extended out to be shown as (31) and the top floating plate and the tissue packet (30) have now been returned to a level horizontal plane (11) and (11B). The top floating Elate has also returned to location (17) and the front end has retracted to location (16).
m e FIGURES (9, 10, and 11) are a sequence of the way in which this :
top floating plate (10) controls the removal of the facial tissues (30) thru the end opening (8) of the end wall (2) of the container and the top floating plate is allowed to move vertically thru the action of the ~:
removal of the protruding tissue (31) as is explained above. ~:
Referring to FIGURE (12) which is a side view of the attached horizontal tissue container (1) to the attach~ent plate (20) at the kitchen cabinet (41) where the facial tissue container can be hinged down to location (51) and/or (52) fran the horizontal location (50) and . :
the top floating plate (10) is elevated (53) in order to remove a set number of tissues (54) in a direction (55).
?he tissue container (1) is hin~ed down on the rear hinge (25~ thru the slot (5A) in the rear end wall (5) of the container and the c~nElete container can be removed off the rear hinge (25) in the direction (57) for comFlete removal for sanitary washing and the replacement of a new packet of facial tissues.
Referring to FIGURES (13, 14, and 15) we are indicating the type of ~-- interlayered tissues (30) in a pre-detennined length (37) and a pre-determined width (38) and a height (34) with the individual tissues 2 ~ U ~ ` ~ a (30A and 30B) with the interwaven plys (30C) and the FIG~RE (15) shows the protruding tissue (31) where it is progressively removed fran the packet of tissues at location (31A) and (31B~ and where the underlying tissue (31C) is progressively removed thru the end opening by the friction (30C) between the layers of tissue.
Referring to FIGURES ~16, 17, 18, and 19) which show the pre-determined packet of tissue (30) with a pre-determined width (38) and length (37) composed of individual tissues (39) to a height of (34A) which is pre-cut to the length (37) as it is produced from the production line where it then proceeds to FIGURE (17) where the height is compressed (32) to a reduced height (34) and retained by a paper wrapper (3oD) andVor a plastic sleeve where the compressed packets are then accumu~ated in a package of six to nine to t~-elve packets where the length (37) and the width (37A) or (37B) is further compressed to the ,. :
-~ 15 height (37C) by a pre-detenmined force (37D) and placed inside a plastic wrapper (51) where the individual packets of tissue (30) now becomes a bulk tissue package where it is contained in a disposable plastic wrapper with a pre-determined width (37), and a height (37C) and a width for six units (37A) or nine units (37B) and the plastic wrapper (51) also contains a integral plastic strap handle (52). This bulk package (50) of pre-compressed tissue packets (30) is as sho~n in FIGURE (19) which has been produced from the tissue packets produ~ed from the production line as shown in FIGURE (16).
It will also be understood that numerous mcdifications and variations can be made in the structures described herein without departing from the scope of the invention. As already explained the device can be used for the facial tissue which is already enclosed in '. :., ~-~ cardboard boxes in that this container is more serviceable. Okher variations and modifications are also possi~le and will be apparent to those conversant in container design with plastic-fonning technology and :
with the technology already at hand by the various facial tissue - manufacturers in the production of bulk packaging of units of productwhich can be compressed to reduce costs by volu~e reduction.

The facial tissue box has never really found its proper place in the household kitchen and is typically found on top of the refrigerator or some other unaccessible location.
A facial tissue is often needed in the kitchen for hygienic purposes or for small cleanups but the user selects a more expensive Faper towel because they are more accessible in that the top opening facial tissue box with the protruding tissue is also not conducive to the kitchen in that th~ tissue can become contaminated.
An object of this invention is to provide a facial tissue container which is mounted on the underside of the kitchen top cabinet where it is out of sight except for the protruding tissue and where the facial tissue is alw ys in the same location and leaves the counter space c~mEletely free for other purposes and because the tissue extends horizontally it is protected from being oontiminated but always rea~dily accessible.
Another object of the invention is to provide a facial tissue --- 2 1 ~
container which can hold a larger nunber of tissues and can also be used for the removal of a set number of interlayered tissues which can then be used as a packet of facial tissues for use elsewhere. The facial tissue container is quickly released and hinged down to remove a pack of more than one tissue and does not disturb the remaining tissues in the container.
Another object of the invention is to provide a low cost, permanent container made of semi-rigid injection molded plastic in various solid ~-colours for permanently attaching to the underside of a structure and can be quickly released with a push bar to allow it to be hinged down for easy access or to be completely removed from the attachment bottom plate for washing of the container for sanitary purposes and for placing a new packet of tissues in the container.
A further object of this invention is to provide a penmanent, new ,,-and novel, container which will accept packets of facial tissues which have been compressed and restrained by a plastic sleeve or paper wrapper which are further enclosed and compressed in a plastic wrap~er bulk packa~e of nine or twelve tissue packets. The bulk packs and ccmpressed packets will reduce volume required for shipping and warehouse space ~-and these savings will reduce the cost to the manufacturer for the now used cardboard boxes and the corrugated cardboard boxes used for transportation with substantial reductions in household waste to the municipal landfill sites. The bulk packs will mean a higher return to the manufacturer and reduced prices to the end user and savings to the environment.
Another obj~ct of this invention is to provide a reusable container --- with an end opening where the tissues are removed horizontally from the `~ end opening. Because the tissues depend on the interply friction 2~J~5 bet~-een the layers to be progressively removed, the horizontal design allows for a greater area of friction to assist in tissue removal. The end opening of the container is not affected by gravity which disrupts the tissue removal with top opening containers or boxes which are now the standard for the industry.
Another object of this invention is to provide a separate floating top friction F~ate which is crowned or raised on the centerline portion which will then allow a space to be provided between the top of the tissues and the underside of the friction plate to prevent the tissues fran being jamned against the top plate as they are placed inside the container which causes the first lot of tissues to be restricted when they are removed and causes theln to tear and be wasted. mis space is provided under the top friction plate which floats on top of the tissue packet as the tissues are removed as shown in the drawings. m e top floating plate provides a positive pressure to the tw~ edges of the tissues to maintain the friction necessary for proper tissue removal and leaves a space to facilita~e the removal of the tissues at the centerline of the container and prevents jamning and tearing of the tissues when they are removed.
Broadly, the present invention provides a reusable container for tissues which are supplied in a b~lk packet and which are removed at the end of the container, one tissue at a time. The floating friction plate to the top of the tissue packet assists in controlling the interply 2 ~ UJ2~1~
friction between the plys of tissues to allow one tissue to be removed at any time. The container is fitted with a detachable bottcm Elate for attachment to the underside of the support structure similar to a kitchen top cabinet in a horizontal inverted position. The bottcm attachment plate is fitted with a quick release feature which allows the container to be hinged down or to be ccmpletely removed for washing or for receiving a new tissue packet.
m e packet of interlayered tissues of a preset width and length and of 300 tissues, more or less, are ccmpressed in height and held with a wrapper or poly sleeve and then multiples of these packets are further compressed and placed in a poly wrap in multiples of six, nine or twelve to form an economical bulk package of facial tissues in a low cost plastic wrap bag, the faciaL tissue will be provided in a more economical and efficient, bulk facial tissue packet, which is a saving to the manufacturer and the end user and the environment and reduces landfill volumes and costs.
~ ven before bulk packs of facial tissue packets are manu~actured and sold it is possible to remove the facial tissues frcm the now familiar disposable tissue boxes, which have interfolded tissues, and place the pack of tissue inside the end opening container for use in the kitchen or other household area such as a bathroom or baby change table as impaied by this invention.
