Definitions

  • the invention relates to pack of paper handkerchiefs.
  • the invention describes a pack of paper handkerchiefs that provides an optimum hygienic protection of the handkerchiefs in the pack while allowing for a easy, convenient dispensing of the handkerchiefs.
  • a closure mean such as a flap or panel able to cover the dispensing opening in a overlapping way.
  • the shape, size and positioning of the dispensing orifice has been specifically designed for delivering the intended benefits.
  • the folding of the handkerchiefs in the pack has been selected to synergistically work together with the above features to deliver an enhanced convenience of use and of dispensing.
  • Paper handkerchiefs have become increasingly popular over the years and they are nowadays present in everyone's pocket or purse.
  • Paper handkerchiefs are usually sold as pocketsize packs or tabletop boxes.
  • the present invention focuses on packs of paper handkerchiefs that are intended to be carried in one's pocket or purse or bag i.e. the shape and size of the packs being generally adapted to fit one's pocket.
  • Packs are usually of parallelepipedic shape with dimensions of about 110mm x 55mm x 20mm, although a significant variation around these observed dimensions can be found pending of the manufacturer of the packs. Packs are usually intended to carry between 5 and 15 single paper handkerchiefs, most usually 10.
  • Paper handkerchiefs are generally intended for single use. Paper handkerchiefs are in most instances used to collect nasal fluid expelled from the human nose, that is of particular importance during the rhinitis / allergy / cold season. However, more broadly, paper handkerchiefs are also used to collect and absorb other fluids such as tears, sweat, or even used a cleaning aid to wipe and/or absorb splashes or liquid stains from a variety of substrate. In a sense, paper handkerchiefs are becoming the favorite handy multipurpose absorbing, wiping and cleaning aid, which everybody has at arm-reach.
  • Paper handkerchief packs are usually, but not always, parallelepipedic.
  • Parallelepipedic packs comprise 3 groups of pairs of panels and 3 groups of 4 identical edges.
  • the groups of panels are called: front panel (the panel of largest area size), side panels (the panels of intermediate area size), and end panels (panels of smallest area size).
  • the groups of edges are so called “long edges”, “intermediate edges” or “small edges”, according to their length.
  • H. Focke describes a pack for paper handkerchiefs with a re-seal tape partially or fully covering a closure flap.
  • the elements of the opening device overlap, re-seal tape and orifice) are located in the width of the front panel.
  • the same document also describes a pack which opening device is located on the side panel, with the reseal tape being positioned partly on the front panel.
  • Muller et al. describe a pack with a closure flap located on the side panel.
  • the flap partly overlaps with the side panel of the pack.
  • Slits are present in the film to delineate a dispensing orifice smaller than the side panel.
  • a reseal tape is provided to re-close the flap over the dispensing orifice.
  • Focke and Wach describe in EP 0401 621 a pack that dispensing opening is located on the side panel and delineated by severance cuts.
  • the cuts can be extended to the front panel.
  • the dispensing orifice comprises portions of both front and side panels and the hinge of the flap located on the front panel.
  • Focke and Liedtke describes a pack that reseal tape overlaps the dispensing orifice in the front panel.
  • the dispensing orifice of the front panel seems to allow for the gripping of a handkerchief in the pack.
  • the flexibility of the film seems to enable the removal of the handkerchief in the opening created along an intermediate pack edge corresponding to the hinge of the flap.
  • H. Focke describes a pack that has a dispensing orifice in the front panel.
  • a flap overlaps the dispensing orifice.
  • the overlapping part of the flap is created by a Z-fold in the one piece of film material constituting the pack, after appropriate cutting.
  • the hinge of the flap is located along one intermediate pack edge. The defined size of the one piece of material limits the extend of the overlapping zone of flap around the dispensing orifice.
  • Joseph et al describe a pack for hygienic articles having a re-closable flap overlapping a dispensing orifice. An additional material is used to create the overlap of the flap around the dispensing opening. The hinge of the flap is located along the intermediate pack edge, opening in the front panel.
  • EP 0 607 724 B1 and its equivalent US 55 24 759, by Herzberg describe a pack having a dispensing orifice located in the front panel and reclosable by a non-overlapping flap. A particular fold of the tissues in the pack is foreseen to enhance the dispensing.
  • H. Focke describes a pack of folded paper handkerchiefs having an orifice in the front panel.
  • the tissues are folded and position in the pack in such a way that a border (edge) of a tissue coincides with the dispensing orifice.
  • H. Pohl describes a pack which flap is constituted by an oversized reseal tape, covering a dispensing orifice as well the surrounding panel. A tissue edge appears through the dispensing hole.
  • the reseal tape requires a complex adhesive distribution to insure the functionality of the break-out portion.
  • dispensing orifices of reduced size allow only one single grabbing option as for the removal of tissue from the pack.
  • the present invention describes a pack fulfilling the above desired characteristics.
  • the present invention describes a pack generally used for storing a stack of paper handkerchiefs.
  • the invention presents the advantages of enhancing both the protection of the handkerchiefs and the convenience of dispensing of the handkerchiefs.
  • the invention also presents the possible advantage of proposing a pack that has an enhanced stability, further increasing its convenience to use.
  • the pack of the proposed invention allows for a dual dispensing of the tissues: dispensing of folded tissue or dispensing of tissues automatically unfolding during the dispensing. Last, the pack is conveniently used in extreme conditions or by people having reduced finger mobility.
  • the present invention presents a pack having a dispensing orifice and a closure mean (such as a flap) that is hingily connected to the pack and also has an unconnected peripheral portion.
  • a closure mean such as a flap
  • the closure mean covers the dispensing orifice and overlaps the edge of that orifice by at least 2mm along said unconnected peripheral portion.
  • the position of the dispensing orifice is selected to include both a part of a front panel and a part of a long pack edge.
  • the size of the dispensing orifice has been preferably selected to have an area between 500 square mm and 3000 square mm, thus allowing for an optimum convenience of use in the most extreme conditions.
  • the folding of the tissues inside the pack has been optimized to enhance the convenience of use and allow for dual dispensing option: one tissue edge coincides with the opening orifice (allowing the tissue to be removed unfolded), and no tissue edge coincides with the partially open long edge of the pack (allowing the tissue to be removed folded).
  • the convenience of use is further enhanced by a providing a reseal functionality of the closure means, for example as a reseal tape, with a grip of high rigidity, created by a U-fold of the tape material.
  • the present invention also describe a process permitting to produce the packs of handkerchiefs offering most, if not all, the desired benefits.
  • FIG 1 shows and defines, for the purpose of this documents:
  • the function of the closure mean or flap of the subject pack is (1) to allow the best protection to the tissues inside the pack and (2) to allow for a convenient opening and re-closure operation.
  • the flap barely covers the dispensing orifice.
  • the tearing of a pre-perforated line in the pack material creates the flap.
  • No overhang of the flap extending over the dispensing orifice is provided.
  • the pressure of the folded tissues inside the pack is sufficient to actually not allow the flap to cover entirely the dispensing orifice after the first opening of the pack. Only after the removal of the second or third tissue from the pack can the flap, associated wit the flexibility of the pack material, be brought in coincidence with the edge of the orifice.
  • an overlap of at least 2mm is sufficient for the hygienic protection of the tissues.
  • An overlap of 5mm or more is foreseen as a preferred embodiment of the invention, most preferably 10mm or more and even more preferably 20mm or more. Below 2mm around the edge of the orifice, the overlap does not allow for a good protection of the tissues, allowing dust or other unwanted bodies to get in contact with the tissues.
  • the usage conditions would trigger in this case a folding of the flap, which would expose the tissues to the environment, thus promoting contamination.
  • the overlap dimension can also be limited in its maximum dimension primarily to further enhance convenience (i.e. avoid unwanted fold of the flap in use) and to reduce the cost of the material.
  • a flap covering the entire front panel as an embodiment of the invention, however it has been found that the maximum dimension of the overlap is best when less 30mm, most preferably and respectively less than 20mm and less than 10mm.
  • the overlap is measured radially from the edge of the dispensing orifice (in any straight portion of the edge of the dispensing orifice, the overlap is measured perpendicularly to that edge).
  • European patent application EP 01129421 describes a dispensing orifice of a particular shape allowing for very good dispensing while protecting the tissues. It has been found that particular and different shape and positioning of the dispensing orifice may similar or a even enhanced benefits. That particular execution is show in Figure 5. It combines the benefits of an oval centrally located orifice on the front panel with the convenience of the grabbing of the tissue by the edge. Located centrally the major part of the orifice is easy to spot and reach, even with gloves or by impaired people. Extending up and including part of a long pack edge, the orifice allows to grab a tissue from the side, which is in some case the preferred way of dispensing by people with reduced finger mobility (for example elderly people).
  • the relative proximity of the dispensing orifice to the pack edge provides for a easier dispensing: It is possible, but not essential, that the peripheral edge of the dispensing orifice coincides with pack edge. However the flexibility provided by the tissue inside the pack and by the nature of the packing film allows for a certain distance between the peripheral edge of the dispensing orifice and the pack edge. Preferably that distance should not be greater than 6mm, more preferably 3 most preferably 0mm. In these foreseen values, the benefit of dispensing convenience is maximized.
  • the optimum dimension has been found to be between 500 and 3000 square millimeters (sqmm), preferably between 700 sqmm and 2500 sqmm, most preferably between 1000 sqmm and 2000sqmm, even more preferably between 1200sqmm and 1800sqmm.
  • the shape of the orifice is designed to maximize convenience of dispensing and to maximize the protection of the tissues.
  • Figure 4 and 5 describe two possible combinations of a flap overlapping the front panel and an optimum dispensing orifice size, location and shape, according to the present invention.
  • Tissues usually substantially rectangular, have two surfaces (15) and 4 tissue edges (12).
  • the tissues are generally folded in a way that creates one area with multiple free tissue edges (12) and one area presenting a U-fold (13). In a U-fold area, no tissue free edge is present parallel to the U-fold.
  • a tissue edge coinciding with the dispensing orifice and preferably extending transversally to the primary direction of the opening enhances the convenience of use:
  • the user is able to slip his finger (even covered by a glove) under the tissue edge (12).
  • the users has then an easy grab of the tissue and a facilitated removing of the tissue from the pack by a simple movement of translation in a direction substantially orthogonal to the general plan of the front panel.
  • this operation is referred to as "unfolded dispensing").
  • the folded tissues are positioned inside the pack in such a way that no tissue free edge (12) having a direction substantially parallel to a pack long edge coincides with the dispensing orifice along the hinge zone of the flap.
  • tissue U-folds (13) appears thru the dispensing orifice edge along the flap hinge. Net, this particular configuration allow to grab and remove a full tissue in one movement without having the tissue unfolding during the said movement. This feature is also called “folded dispensing".
  • Figure 5 shows a pack with a tissue folded inside.
  • the tissue edge (12) appears through the dispensing orifice and can be grabbed by the user. Alternatively the user can grab the U-fold (13) to remove the tissue from the pack.
  • the non-permanent closure of the flap over the front panel is, in one embodiment of the present invention, secured via the use of a reseal tape (9) presenting a dry zone (10).
  • the dry zone allowing a good grip of the reseal tape, is made by a same piece of tape that is folded on itself in a U-fold (16).
  • the internal faces of the U-folded (16) dry zone (10) are sealed together.
  • the dry zone part of the reseal tape is more rigid, in comparison to a regular, single layer, non U-folded reseal tape. It is been found that the above described construction of the reseal tape (9) present a much better convenience of use and an easier grip of the dry zone (10) by the users, more particularly by those users with impaired finger mobility or in extreme conditions (wearing gloves, cold fingers).
  • the reseal functionality of the present invention can be achieved by a separate piece of material (so called re-seal tape).
  • the closure mean or flap can comprise an extension having reseal functionality, as shown in figure 8. Dry-edge or grip zone can be provided as well as adequate adhesive to enable the reseal of the flap.
  • the reseal functionality can be provided by adequate adhesive on the reseal tape of reseal zone.
  • adhesive can be provided along a portion of the unconnected portion of the peripheral edge of the closure means. Even more preferably the adhesive is located along the entire unconnected portion of the peripheral edge of the closure means.
  • the present invention relates to the process of making a pack of paper handkerchiefs.
  • the problem of creating a pack according to the present invention is to provide for the overlapping zone between the flap and the front panel.
  • the present invention solves this problem by substantially proposing 2 routes for achieving the desired overlap.
  • a piece of primary material is cut and folded and sealed in a way that creates the flap overlap: If compared to a non overlapping flap option, the original material needs to be of increased dimensions. Rolls of material with increased width generally provide that extended dimension. The comparatively increased material provide for sufficient area to create the overlapping flap.
  • the folding can be adjusted to create an overlap of at least 5mm between the flap and the front panel.
  • a reseal tape is added to the flap, with the permanent sealing to the flap and the non-permanent/closable adhesive facing the front panel.
  • a secondary piece of material is used.
  • a step of cutting and attaching or joining the secondary material onto the primary material is additionally foreseen. That process steps can occur before, during or after the formation of the 3-dimensional pack by folding. Preferably that process step is executed before the folding, i.e. the secondary material is attached on a substantially flat primary material.
  • the secondary material is preferably the same material as the primary material.
  • the overlap creates a zones of high stability in the pack, helping it shape to remain stable during use and transportation. It is however contemplated, in another sub-embodiment, to use a secondary material of higher strength, higher caliper or higher rigidity in order to increase further the gain in pack stability created by the overlap.
  • the secondary piece of material (17), once in place on the newly formed pack forms a flap (8) that is hingedly connected to one of the panel (1), preferably along a pack edge (11). More preferably the hinge is parallel to a long pack edge, most preferably the hinge is substantially co-located with a long pack edge.
  • the hinge has substantially the same dimension as the long pack edge, thus maximizing the dimension of the flap.
  • the secondary material can be sealed to the side of the primary material forming the outside or the inside of the pack.
  • Closure mean as a continuous piece of material
  • the secondary material is preferably continuous, not presenting holes, perforations, slits or indentations.
  • the secondary piece of material (17) constitutes the edge of the dispensing orifice, i.e. a shape, preferably a hole is cut out of the secondary material.
  • the secondary material (17) is positioned and sealed onto the primary material, for example onto the front panel (1).
  • a selected area of the primary material forms the flap (7) whereas the secondary material forms the portion of the panel overlapping the flap as well as the dispensing orifice (8) per se.
  • a retaining band is used to delineate an aperture in a pack of hygienic articles.
  • the material is a soft flexible film having the characteristics suitable for the standard manufacture of handkerchief packs.
  • the film can be a polyethylene/polypropylene film having a thickness between 25 and 50 micrometers and able to be thermo-sealed at a temperature in the range of 120-200 degrees Celsius.
  • the sealing operations are executed by a combination of thermo sealing and gluing.
  • the re-seal tape is polypropylene material with a permanent adhesive in one end and a re-seal able adhesive on the other end.
  • the tissues can be of any commonly used material for making paper handkerchiefs (such as Tempo®) and their folding can be as shown in figure 3 or in the referenced documents. All other operations are as commonly practiced by paper handkerchief manufacturers and packers.
