Definitions

  • the invention pertains to a stack of interfolded tissue-sheets packed in a container, said container having a generally planar bottom wall and a top wall and side walls connecting the bottom wall with the top wall and an opening provided in at least one wall for the removal of said tissue-sheets from the container, said stack of interfolded tissue-sheets being placed in said container with at least the edges of a lowermost tissue-sheet placed on the bottom wall and an uppermost tissue-sheet placed near or in contact with the top wall and adjacent to the opening in the top wall.
  • Soft tissue sheets such as facial tissue sheets are commonly offered as a stack of tissue sheets packed in a dispensing box.
  • the dispensing box has an opening through which the user pulls the tissue sheets.
  • the tissue sheets are interfolded, which means that the tissue sheets are folded into one-another, so that they form a chain of tissue sheets being interconnected by folded portions.
  • the pulled-out tissue sheet will automatically bring a portion of the next tissue sheet in the stack out through the opening thereby making it readily available for gripping and removing from the dispensing box.
  • interfolding tissue sheets in this manner is a convenient way of ascertaining that all of the tissue sheets can be easily removed from the container.
  • interfolding e.g. Z-folding
  • the type of interfolding nor the type of tissue is important to the invention.
  • a dispenser of this type is known from US-A-6,053,357 (YOH), which discloses a box with a dispensing opening having a curvilinear or "S"-shape.
  • the opening facilitates the dispensing of interfolded tissues from a box by fixing the top sheet in a position extending out through the opening, where it is readily accessible to a user.
  • the present invention offers a simple and expedient means of solving the problem of dispensing a flat tissue sheet from a stack of interfolded tissue sheets which are packed in a container having a dispensing opening.
  • the opening is wider than the width of said tissue sheets.
  • the invention will, however, also be applicable for openings of equal or narrower width than the width of the tissue sheets.
  • the dispensing opening is provided with means for presenting a tissue blocked in a fixed position, with a flat configuration. This allows the user to pull the presented tissue out flat, whereby potential wrinkling is smoothened out by the presenting means.
  • the presented tissue may be a single sheet, or may itself have additional folding.
  • the means for presenting the tissue is preferably in the form of a number of elongated projections or fingers extending from opposite sides of the dispensing opening of the box.
  • the dispensing opening is located in the top wall of the box.
  • the fingers are overlapping, either by being positioned one on top of the other or by extending between each other.
  • the fingers are initially arranged in substantially the same plane, until the first tissue has been extracted through the dispensing opening.
  • the fingers are preferably attached to the underside of the top wall of the box, on opposite sides of the opening. It is , however, also possible to attach the means including said fingers on the upper side of the top wall of the box, or to integrate it into the top wall itself, e.g.
  • the fingers By making the fingers part of the top wall. When the first tissue is being pulled out through the opening, the fingers will be pulled upwards by the tissue on either side thereof. The pulled-out tissue will automatically bring a portion of the next tissue out through the opening, where it will pass between the fingers. As the first tissue is removed, the following tissue will be held in position and prevented from falling back into the box by the gripping action of the opposing fingers.
  • the fingers must be sufficiently flexible to allow a tissue to be pulled out, while at the same time being sufficiently stiff to retain the tissue and prevent it from falling back. Accordingly, the thickness and stiffness of a plastic film, or other suitable material, used for the fingers must be selected to match the stiffness and material properties of the tissue.
  • a profile for the fingers that can be offset from opposite sides of the edge of said sheet. If the finger profile is substantially V-shaped, a zig-zag cut can be made along the longitudinal axis of the continuous sheet. Sets of opposing fingers can be cut to length from the resulting halves. Fingers of this type can be arranged in pairs, overlapping and in contact with a directly opposing finger, or staggered, having fingers arranged side-by-side and overlapping by extending across the dispensing opening of the box. Alternatively the fingers can be angled relative to the longitudinal axis of the opening, in which case each finger may overlap one or more opposing fingers as it extends across the dispensing opening.
  • overlap is used to denote that the tips of a pair of adjacent projections, which are not necessarily in contact, extend past each other, as seen in a plan view.
  • contacting overlap is used to describe an arrangement of projections extending over/under one another and being in contact with each other.
  • Fig. 1 shows a generally rectangular paperboard dispensing box 1 containing a stack 2 of interfolded tissue-sheets 3.
  • the paperboard box 1 has a bottom wall 4, a top wall 5, two long side walls 6,7 and two short side walls 8,9.
  • the stack 2 of tissue-sheets 3 rests with a lower-most tissue-sheet 10 on the inner surface 11 of the bottom wall 4 and has a height which substantially corresponds to the height of the box 1, that is, to the height of the side walls 6-9. It is to be understood, that the height of the stack 2 of tissue-sheets is to a certain degree determined by the height of the box.
  • the interfolded tissue-sheets 3 are highly compressible and are usually, but not necessarily, compressed before being placed in the box, so that a sufficient amount of tissue-sheets can be accommodated in the box.
  • the box 1 is provided with an opening 14 in the top wall 5.
  • the opening 14 is arranged generally centrally in the top wall 5 and extends parallel to the long side walls 6,7.
  • the opening 14 has a generally oval shape with rounded ends 15 and slightly outwardly curved side edges 16, so that the opening 14 is wider at a central portion than at the ends.
  • the width of the opening 14 between its rounded ends 15 must be wider than the tissue-sheets.
  • the opening 14 is commonly protected by a cover.
  • the protective cover is made of the same paperboard material as the box itself, and is simply a portion of the top wall 5, which can be torn away along a perforated line in the top wall 5.
  • the box can be provided with a permanently attached or removable regular lid which is opened to expose the opening in the top wall 5 and which, optionally, can be reclosed.
  • the opening in the top wall 5 need not have the described oval shape. Hence, rectangular openings, circular openings or openings having irregular shapes are contemplated within the scope of the invention. In addition, the opening need not be arranged only in the top wall but could extend into one or two side walls.
  • Positioning means 17, 18 are attached to the underside of the top wall 5 on either side of the opening 14, along both the curved side edges 16. As the opening 14 is wider than the width of the tissue-sheets 12, the positioning means 17, 18 prevents the uppermost tissue-sheet 12 from falling back into the box. In Fig. 1 the positioning means is shown as a number of opposing projections in contacting overlap, where the projections are angled relative to each other and to a longitudinal axis through the opening 14.
  • FIG. 2A shows a plan view of the positioning means and its overlapping projections in their initial position, before the first tissue-sheet has been pulled out.
  • the positioning means comprises two sections 20, 21 which are identical and placed opposite each other. Each section 20, 21 has a longitudinal edge 23,24 for attaching it to the top wall of the box. The uppermost tissue-sheet can be accessed through a central opening 25 between the two sections. On either side of this central opening, the projections are angled away from a transverse plane P through the middle of said central opening and at right angles to the longitudinal axis A of the dispensing opening.
  • This embodiment shows sections 20, 21 having three projections 26a, 26b, 26c; 26d, 26e, 26f; 27a, 27b, 27c; 27d, 27e, 27f on either side of the central opening 25.
  • the projections shown in Fig. 2A are shaped like fingers, having substantially parallell side edges, but they can also be slightly converging towards the tips of the projections.
  • the tips of the projections are preferably rounded. It is of course possible to vary the number of projections within the scope of the invention.
  • the angle ⁇ between the longitudinal axis A of the box and the main axis of each projection is preferably 5° ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ 90°.
  • all projections are extended at the same angle ⁇ , but it is also possible to use varying angles, e.g. to decrease the angle ⁇ for successive projections from the central opening and outwards.
  • the embodiment also shows projections which are gradually shortened in the direction away from the central opening 25. It is of course also possible to vary the length of the projections in the opposite direction, or to use projections having a constant length. In this embodiment the maximum length of the projections is chosen so that each projection is in contacting overlap with only one of the opposing projections. It is possible, however, to let the projection be in contacting overlap with more than one opposing projection. As the length of the projections varies, then so does the degree of overlap of the opposite projections in the transverse direction of the box.
  • the degree of overlap should be between 50 and 100%, calculated using the ratio of the distance d between the tips of two opposing and adjacent projections, and the distance D between the opposing side edges 16 of the dispensing opening in a transverse plane B through the tips of the projections. This is valid provided that both fingers extend past the longitudinal axis A of the box, but not past the opposing side edge 16 of the opening (see Fig.1).
  • the degree of overlap may vary for each pair of opposing fingers, as both the tip distance d and the distance D between the edges of the opening may vary along the longitudinal axis of the box.
  • Figure 2B shows the positioning means of Figure 2A with a tissue-sheet 12 extending up between the projections 26a, 26b, 26c; 26d, 26e, 26f; 27a, 27b, 27c; 27d, 27e, 27f.
  • the angle ⁇ between the longitudinal axis of the box and the main axis of each projection will gradually decrease towards an angle ⁇ as they are being lifted and twisted.
  • the angle ⁇ shown in Figure 2B is the angle of the main axis of projection 26a at its point of contact with the tissue-sheet, in the horizontal plane.
  • the reduction of the angle ⁇ with respect to the angle ⁇ will of course depend on the length and initial angle ⁇ of each projection, as well as the degree of overlap between opposing projections.
  • the dotted line indicates a part of the side edges 16 of the dispensing opening.
  • a further angle between the tips of the projections is the so called gripping angle ⁇ , defined as the angle between two planes at right angles to the surface containing the dispensing opening, wherein each plane intersects a first point, which is the contact point between the projections, and coincides with a line passing at right angles to the main axis of their respective projections and through said first point.
  • the contact points are located on the edges of the opposing fingers, but this is not a prerequisite for carrying out the invention.
  • the angle ⁇ can vary from 0°, e.g. for opposing projections having the angle ⁇ equal to 90°, to in excess of 110°, e.g. for extended projections with an angle ⁇ approaching 5°.
  • the angle may also vary depending on the stiffness in the material used for the projections.
  • This feature also makes it possible to use a dispensing opening which is equal to or narrower than the width of the tissue. Although a slight wrinkling of the edges of the tissue sheet may occur as it passes through the opening, said stretching effect in combination with the smoothening effect caused by the tissue being pulled between the projections will allow the tissue sheet to be presented flat to the user.
  • Figure 3 shows a cross-section of the box 1 through the transverse plane P.
  • the uppermost tissue-sheet 12 has been pulled out through the dispensing opening 14 and is being presented in a flat, upwardly directed position to the user.
  • the tissue-sheet 12 is being supported from both sides by the opposing projections 26a, 26b, 26c; 26d, 26e, 26f; 27a, 27b, 27c; 27d, 27e, 27f (26d-f and 27d-f not shown), which have been bent upwards by the action of the first tissue-sheet 12 being removed from the box 1.
  • the tissue-sheet is prevented from falling back into the box by a combination of the compressive forces of the opposing projections acting on either side of the said sheet, and the frictional forces between the projections and the tissue-sheet as the weight of the sheet flexes the projections in a downward direction.
  • the outlined second tissue-sheet 30 indicates the next sheet to be pulled from the box, as well as the present level of tissue-sheets. In their active positions, the projections as shown in this embodiment will always be in point contact with the tissue-sheet, i.e. they will not bend as to lie with their underside flat against the tissue-sheet.
  • the positioning means 40, 41 is shown as a number of opposing projections 42a-d, 43a-d (not shown), where the projections have a general "V"-shape and are positioned between each other, i.e. overlapping in the horizontal plane only without being in contact.
  • the enclosed angle ⁇ of the "V"-shaped projections can be in the interval 10° ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ 170°, preferably in the intrval 30° ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ 90°.
  • the tips of the projections are preferably, but not necessarily, rounded. In this case the dispensing opening 14 of the box 1 extends along the entire length of the top wall 5.
  • the projections 42a-d, 43a-d only extend along part of this length
  • the projections 42a-d, 43a-d are preferably made from a relatively thin plastic or other suitable material which gives easy access to the top tissue-sheet, they must also be sufficiently stiff to be able to support the tissue-sheet 12.
  • the type of tissue used therefore decides the number and extension of the projections, as well as the choice of material.
  • the projections will be bent upwards from the top wall 5 on either side of the tissue-sheet 12. The first section of the next tissue-sheet will automatically be pulled out and is held flat between the projections 42a-d, 43a-d in a suitable presentation position for the next user.
  • Fig. 5 shows a plan view of the positioning means 40, 41 with the projections 42a-d, 43a-d in their initial positions, before the first tissue-sheet has been removed.
  • the positioning means has a longitudinal edge 44, 45 for attachment to the lower surface of the top wall of the box.
  • the projections 42a-d, 43a-d can be manufactured from a single continuous sheet of material, using a cutting means having a cutting edge with the same profile as the projections 42a-d, 43a-d. The cut sheet can then be cut to lengths suitable for the width of the opening 14.
  • the projections 42a-d, 43a-d are opposite and identical, they need only be move apart a small distance before being attached to the box.
  • FIG. 6 An alternative embodiment, using the same "V"-shaped positioning means 40, 41, is shown in Fig. 6.
  • the projections 42a-d, 43a-d have the same degree of overlap as in Figure 5, but have been indexed half the width of one projection along the longitudinal axis A of the dispensing opening in the box.
  • the projections will then be positioned in pairs, directly opposite each other.
  • the main difference between the embodiments of Fig. 5 and Fig. 6, is that the former is mainly suited for tissue-sheets made from a thicker and/or stiffer material, as the interdigitated projections are in part dependent on the tissue-sheet for support.
  • the latter is better suited for thinner materials than the former, as the directly opposing projections as shown in Fig. 6 will support both the tissue-sheet and each other.
  • the embodiment of Figure 6 is equally suited for thicker tissue materials, it is more versatile than that shown in Figure 5
  • the positioning means and its projections are preferably made from a relatively thin plastic material, as stated above. On one hand it must be sufficiently flexible to allow the user easy access to the first top tissue-sheet, but on the other hand it must also be sufficiently stiff to be able to support the tissue-sheet in a substantially upright position.
  • suitable materials are plastics, such as polyethylene, paper, metal foil or laminated materials e.g. polyethylene and paper. The choice of material depends on the configuration of the dispensing opening, the configuration of the projections and the type of tissue to be dispensed. For the same reasons the material thickness may vary between 20 and 900 ⁇ m.
  • the invention also relates to a method of manufacturing the means for positioning tissue-sheets for use in a container for dispensing tissue sheets.
  • Said method involves the use of a cutting device, the cutting edge of which has a profile identical to a set of projections to be used as positioning means.
  • the cutting device may be reciprocating or rotary and is used for simultaneously cutting opposing sections of positioning means from a single continuous sheet of material. Examples of this can be seen in Figure 5, showing a simple "V"-shaped cut, and Figure 7, showing a more complex cut used for the embodiment of Figures 1 and 2.
  • the cutting device used is considerably more complex.
  • the sections 20, 21 are cut indexed by a distance corresponding to half the length of a section, and a small waste section 50 must be removed by a subsequent cutting operation to produce the central dispensing opening.
  • the waste section 50 can be minimised and cut out at the same time as the projections.
  • a prerequisite for this embodiment is that the angle ⁇ is constant for all of the projections.
  • the angle ⁇ of the projections varies along the length of the section, a wider sheet of material is required.
  • the sections may be cut to length by the profiled cutting means, as the projections are being cut.
  • the cut sections 20, 21 are separated into two continuous parallel sheets, whereafter a first sheet, e.g. 20 is temporarily diverted from the second sheet 21. This can be done by passing the sheet 20 to be diverted over a pair of additional rollers. This diversion must be sufficient to cause the sheet 20 to be indexed the length of half a section 20, 21.
