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 said top wall for the removal of said tissue-sheets from the container, said stack of interfolded tissue-sheets being placed in said container with a lowermost tissue-sheet placed on the bottom wall and an uppermost tissue-sheet placed at the top wall and generally parallel to the top wall and in direct connection with 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.
  • the present invention offers a simple and expedient means of solving the problem of removing a first tissue sheet from a stack of interfolded tissue sheets which are packed in a container having a dispensing opening.
  • a gripping member By the provision of a gripping member, the first tissue sheet can easily be gripped and removed from the box without causing tearing, severe wrinkling or other damage to the tissue sheet.
  • the uppermost tissue-sheet of the stack of interfolded tissue-sheets comprises a gripping member, which is exposed through the opening in the top wall of the container.
  • the uppermost tissue-sheet is placed at the top wall of the dispensing box and in direct connection with the opening in the top wall. This does not mean that the uppermost tissue-sheet has to be in contact with the top wall. Hence, it is only necessary that the uppermost tissue-sheet is placed at the top wall in a manner which will permit the gripping member to be directly accessible through the opening in the top wall. This implies that no components which would block the access of the gripping member through the opening in the top wall are present between the uppermost tissue-sheet and the top wall. Accordingly, the invention encompasses embodiments in which the dispensing box is completely filled with tissue-sheets, as well as embodiments wherein the dispensing box initially is only partially filled with tissue-sheets.
  • the gripping member is a separate component and is preferably in the form of a tape tab having an anchoring portion which is adhesively attached to said uppermost tissue-sheet and a gripping portion freely extending from said anchoring portion.
  • the tape tab can be formed from a rectangular piece of tape of plastic film, nonwoven material, tissue, or the like.
  • the anchoring portion is preferably attached by means of adhesive, but other anchoring means can be envisaged, such as welding.
  • the gripping portion extends from the anchoring portion and is preferably sufficiently rigid in order to be readily separable from the surface of the uppermost tissue-sheet. However, the gripping member should not substantially affect the overall flexibility and drapability of the tissue-sheet and should not severely impair the function of the tissue-sheet.
  • the anchoring portion of the gripping member is flexible and/or has a fairly small surface.
  • the gripping member should preferably not present any sharp edges or corners.
  • the gripping portion can be formed from a folded portion of a tape strip.
  • the tape tab has two anchoring portions and the folded gripping portion is arranged between the two anchoring portions.
  • a gripping member having a folded portion can easily be produced from a piece of tape having an adhesive surface and a non-adhesive surface by double-folding an end portion of the piece of tape with the adhesive surface of the folded portion facing the adhesive surface of the remainder of the tape so that the adhesive will serve to keep the tape in the folded configuration.
  • the non-folded end of the tape will serve as an anchoring portion.
  • the double-folded portion can be formed centrally on the tape, leaving one adhesive anchoring portion at each side of the folded gripping tab.
  • the gripping portion of the gripping member can have any desired shape such as square, rounded, polygonal, flower-shaped, etc. However, a tapering shape, such as a triangular shape is expedient for packaging purposes. Filling of a disposable dispensing box is usually made by introducing a compressed stack of tissue-sheets through a short end of the dispensing box. A tapering shape of the gripping portion will ascertain that the gripping portion will fold smoothly against the surface of the uppermost tissue-sheet in the stack when the gripping member contacts the upper wall of the dispensing box during the insertion step.
  • the gripping member can be a loop of material, such as a loop of string or band.
  • the loop-shaped gripping member can be formed from a piece of string or a band which is attached adhesively or by welding to the uppermost sheet of tissue.
  • the gripping member When opening a box of tissue-sheets, it can be difficult to visually distinguish the gripping member from the surface of the uppermost tissue-sheet. Accordingly, it can be advantageous that the gripping member has a colour which contrasts with the colour of said uppermost tissue-sheet. This allows the user to immediately recognise the gripping member, and saves time in trying to identify the gripping member. Moreover, a contrasting colour will serve as a signal of the presence of a gripping member.
  • the presence and intended use of the gripping member can further be drawn to the attention of the user by providing the gripping member with a printed marker to visually indicate its grippability.
  • a printed marker could, for instance, be an arrow or text such as "pull", or the like.
  • a visual indication of the presence of a gripping member can be made by making the gripping member of a material having a physically contrasting surface, such as an embossed surface, a glossy surface, etc.
  • the dispensing box has a protective cover which is arranged over the opening in the top wall.
  • the gripping member is attached to the cover, which means that when the cover is removed, the gripping member will be pulled or raised into a more readily grippable position.
  • the bond between the cover and the gripping member has to be comparatively weak, so that the pulling force acting on the bond will cause it to break before the uppermost tissue-sheet is pulled out of the dispensing box.
  • the bond between the gripping member and the cover can be of a more permanent character and be sufficiently strong so as to withstand the pulling force when the cover is removed. In such a case, the removal of the cover will cause the uppermost tissue-sheet to be pulled out of the dispensing box.
  • cover By removal of the cover is meant that the cover is removed from the opening, so that the opening is exposed. It does not necessarily imply that the cover has to be completely removed from the dispensing box, since the cover may, for instance, be in the form of a lid which is permanently attached to the box and which is removed from the opening by folding along a fold line or a hinge.
  • the protective cover is made of the same material as the box itself, and is simply a portion of the top wall, which can be torn away along a perforated line in the top wall.
  • other protective devices such as separate pieces of paper, paperboard, plastic film, and the like can be used.
  • 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.
  • Fig. 1 shows a generally rectangular paperboard dispensing box 1 containing a stack 2 of interfolded tissue-sheets 3.
  • tissue-sheets 3 in the stack 2 are mechanically attached to each other in a continuous, loosely connected band of individual tissue-sheets 3.
  • the tissue-sheets may be provided as non-folded sheets before interfolding, or may be more complicated structures such as pre-shaped tissue-sheets or tissue-sheets which have been folded one or more times before interfolding.
  • 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 compressed before being placed in the box, so that a sufficient amount of tissue-sheets can be accommodated in the box.
  • the compressed stack 2 of tissue-sheets will normally effect an expanding pressure on the box, pressing the uppermost tissue-sheet 12 against the inner surface 11 of the top wall 5.
  • This arrangement is advantageous, since, as the tissue-sheets 3 are successively removed from the box 1, the pressure from the expanding stack 2 of tissue-sheets will aid in pushing a new tissue-sheet towards the top wall 5.
  • the stack 2 of tissue-sheets are packed in the box 1 in a compressed state, this is not a necessary feature of the invention. Accordingly, a box having a stack of interfolded tissue-sheets that are only partially filling the box are also within the scope of the invention.
  • 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 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.
  • other protective devices such as separate pieces of paper, paperboard, plastic film, and the like can be envisaged.
  • 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 14 can be partially covered with a flexible material, such as a plastic film or similar, which shields the tissue-sheets 3 from the edges of the opening in the top wall 5 when the tissue-sheets are being pulled out of the box.
  • a flexible material arranged around the edges of the opening does also serve to diminish the area of the opening 14 and prohibits a tissue-sheet 3 which is partially pulled out of the dispensing box 1 from falling back down into the box again.
  • a gripping member 21 is attached to the uppermost tissue-sheet 12 in the stack 2.
  • the gripping member 21 is in the form of an adhesive tape with a non-adhesive surface 22 and an adhesive surface 23.
  • the tape has been folded at a central portion so as to form a gripping tab 24 comprising two thicknesses of the tape base material and being kept in the folded state by the adhesive.
  • the gripping member 21 has an attachment surface 25 which is firmly attached to the uppermost tissue-sheet 12 in the stack 2 by means of the adhesive.
  • the gripping member 21 is applied centrally on the uppermost tissue-sheet 12, parallel to the short side walls 8,9 and protrudes through the opening 14 when the box is open, i.e. when any lid or cover is removed from the opening.
  • the gripping member 21 need not be in the shown orientation, but can be arranged parallel to the long side walls 10,11 or diagonally, etc. Moreover, the gripping member 21 may be offset from the central position.
  • the gripping member 21 can be attached to the cover or lid, so that removal or opening of the cover or lid will simultaneously cause the gripping member 21 to be pulled into a more readily grippable position as shown in the Figs.
  • the bond between the cover and the gripping member 21 has to be comparatively weak, so that the pulling force acting on the bond will cause it to break before the uppermost tissue-sheet is pulled out of the dispensing box.
  • the bond between the gripping member and the cover can be of a more permanent character and be sufficiently strong so as to withstand the pulling force when the cover is removed. In such a case, the removal of the cover will cause the uppermost tissue-sheet 12 to be pulled out of the dispensing box.
  • the tape base material can be any suitable sheet material such as nonwoven, tissue, paper, plastic film or the like.
  • the base material is relatively soft and flexible so that it can be folded without producing hard or sharp edges or corners.
  • the gripping member 21 is comparatively small so that it only occupies minor portion of the surface of the uppermost tissue-sheet. A small gripping member 21 will minimally affect the softness and flexibility of the uppermost tissue-sheet, thus leaving it fully usable.
  • the gripping member 21 has been described as being produced from a self-adhesive tape, it is alternatively possible to fold a non-adhesive band or tape in the manner shown in Fig. 1 and to attach the folded band or tape to the uppermost tissue-sheet, for instance by means of adhesive, by welding, or the like.
  • a gripping member 21 allows the uppermost tissue-sheet 12 to be removed through the opening 14 in the top wall 5 of the dispensing box 1.
  • the user simply grips the gripping tab 24 and pulls out the uppermost tissue-sheet 12. Due to the interfolding of the tissue-sheets 3 in the stack 2, the removal of the uppermost tissue-sheet 12 will automatically cause a portion of the next tissue-sheet 12 in the stack to be pulled out through the opening 14. Once the uppermost tissue-sheet 12 has been completely pulled out of the box 1, the interconnecting folded portions of the uppermost tissue-sheet 12 and the next tissue-sheet 3 in the stack 2 will be released. This means that the partly pulled-out next tissue-sheet 3 will protrude through the opening 14 and can then serve as a gripping member for removing the next tissue-sheet 3 from the box.
  • Fig. 2 shows an alternative gripping member 21 having a gripping tab 24 and an attachment portion 25.
  • the gripping portion or tab 24 can be made by double folding a piece of tape, thus achieving slightly higher stiffness and less flexibility in the gripping tab portion of the gripping member 21.
  • Other ways of increasing the stiffness in the gripping tab 24 is by laminating or coating with an additional layer of material or by forming the gripping member 21 with a gripping tab 24 portion that is thicker than the attachment portion 25.
  • the gripping member 21 can be attached near an edge 26 of the uppermost tissue-sheet 12 with the gripping portion 24 protruding from the edge 26.
  • the gripping member 21 can, similar to the embodiment shown in Fig. 1, be attached with all of the gripping member overlapping a surface of the uppermost tissue-sheet 12.
  • Fig. 3 shows a gripping member 21 in the form of a gripping loop 26.
  • the gripping loop 26 can be made of a piece of string, a band or the like. Plastic materials, cellulose, textiles or mixtures thereof can be used.
  • the piece of string or band is attached at its ends to the uppermost tissue-sheet 12 in the stack 2. Attachment can be performed by means of adhesive or by welding.
  • the gripping loop 26 is shown extending parallel to the opening 14 in the dispensing box 1.
  • a gripping member it can be difficult for the user to immediately recognise the presence and the intended function of a gripping member in accordance with the invention. For this reason, it can be expedient if the gripping member or at least a part of the gripping member has a different colour or a different pattern than the uppermost tissue-sheet 12.
  • the presence of the gripping member can be further drawn to the attention of the user by printing a symbol or a text on the gripping member. Hence, an arrow or the text "pull" would indicate to the user that the gripping member should be used for pulling the uppermost tissue-sheet out of the dispensing box.
  • Fig. 4a-4c shows a few examples of gripping members having different shape and being designed to convey identification information to the user.
  • Fig. 4a shows a gripping member 21 having a rounded outer gripping portion 24 and a rectangular attachment portion 25.
  • the rounded contour of the gripping portion 24 is advantageous since no sharp corners are exposed to the user.
  • the gripping portion 24 is provided with an attention-drawing means 28 in the form of an arrow which is printed on the gripping portion 24.
  • Fig. 4b shows a gripping member 21 having a triangular outer gripping portion 24 and a rectangular attachment portion 25.
  • An attention-drawing means 28 in the form of the instructive text "pull" is printed on the gripping portion 24.
  • a triangular shape of the outer gripping portion 24 is advantageous since it facilitates packaging of a stack of tissue-sheets in a dispensing box. Filling of a disposable dispensing box is usually made by introducing the stack of tissue-sheets through a short end of the dispensing box. A triangular shape of the gripping portion 24 will ascertain that the gripping portion 24 will fold smoothly against the surface of the uppermost tissue-sheet in the stack when the gripping member contacts the upper wall of the dispensing box during the insertion step.
  • Fig. 4c shows yet another example of a means of making the user aware of the presence of a gripping member 21.
  • the gripping portion 24 in Fig. 4c has a particular, decorative shape which will aid in identifying the gripping member.
  • the gripping members 21 in Fig. 4 are shown as having only a single attachment portion 25. However, the use of different shapes and different markers can also be applied to the embodiment in Fig. 1 where the gripping member 21 has two attachment portions 25.
  • FIG. 5 Still another embodiment of a gripping member 21, which is readily discernible when applied to the surface of a tissue sheet 12 is shown in Figs. 5 and 6.
  • the gripping member 21 is in the form of a circular piece of material, such as a plastic disc, a paper disc, or the like.
  • a band-shaped attachment portion 25 is arranged centrally on the gripping member 21 and crescent-shaped gripping portions 24a, 24b are found on either side of the attachment portion 25.
  • the gripping member 21 is used by folding the gripping portions 24a, 24b together, in a direction away from the surface of the uppermost tissue sheet 12. Normally, the user 29 will grip both gripping portions 24a, 24b simultaneously, pressing them together to form a single gripping tab. However, it is alternatively possible to use only one of the gripping portions 24a, 24b.
  • the gripping member 21 may be provided with fold lines or hinges 30 running along the edges of the attachment portion 25. If the gripping member 21 is made of a sufficiently stiff material, such as a rigid plastic material or stiff paper, the gripping member 21 can be provided in a pre-folded state, so that the gripping portions 24a, 24b are at least slightly raised from the surface of the uppermost tissue-sheet 12.
  • a gripping member 21 having a central attachment portion 25 and flanking gripping portions 24a, 24b can, of course be provided in other shapes than circular, such as rectangular, oval, dogbone shape, etc.
  • Fig. 7 shows an embodiment of a gripping member 21 in accordance with the invention, wherein no protruding gripping tab is present. Accordingly, Fig. 7 shows a dispensing box 1 seen from the top wall 5 and presenting an opening 14 to a user.
  • the uppermost tissue-sheet 12 which is visible through the opening 14 has a gripping member 21 attached thereto.
  • the gripping member is a reinforcement area on the surface of the uppermost tissue-sheet and does preferably have a high coefficient of friction so as to avoid slipping of the users fingers against the surface of the first tissue-sheet 12. Accordingly, the gripping member 21 provides an area on the uppermost tissue-sheet 12 which is less fragile and flimsy and which is easier to grip than the rest of the tissue-sheet 12.
  • the gripping member 21 has a high-friction surface, this will further enhance the grippability of the gripping member 21 and the uppermost tissue-sheet 12.
  • High friction may be provided in any known manner, for instance by means of a rubbery surface or by means of an irregular surface such as a coarse fibrous structure, a foam structure, a wrinkled surface, a surface having micro-protrusions, or similar.

  • dispensing box having other shapes could also be used. Accordingly, cube-shaped boxes, oval boxes, boxes with irregular or polygonal shapes, etc. could be used.
  • the material of the dispensing box need not be paperboard. Hence, plastic boxes, wooden boxes etc, could be used.
  • the shape of the gripping portion 24 of the gripping member 21 may be other than what is shown in the figures. Accordingly, polygonal shapes, flower shapes, heart shapes and the like may be used.
  • 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.
