Definitions

  • the present invention pertains to a dispenser for dispensing tissue paper, preferably facial tissues, handkerchiefs, napkins, kitchen paper, tissue paper towels etc., wherein the dispenser housing is being made from a flat material, preferably a cardboard material.
  • the invention furthermore, pertains to a method for manufacturing a dispenser from a fiat material.
  • dispensers for dispensing facial tissues to clean e.g. the nose, face and hands are known.
  • These dispensers are typically made in the form of a simple box with a dispensing opening in one of its walls, wherein the cardboard box itself defines a volume in which the tissue papers are contained.
  • the cardboard boxes are also used to distribute the tissue paper, In use, the tissue papers are dispensed through the dispensing opening.
  • WO 2006/013590 Al discloses a cardboard box. preferably a shoebox, which can be easily transformed into a holder for playing and/or ornamental purposes by the insertion of appendixes into slits in the box after it has ceased to serve as a shoe box. It is to be noted, however, that the box disclosed in this prior art document is not a dispenser for tissue paper but is used for playing or ornamental and decorative purposes only.
  • US 2.772,827 pertains to a food package in which several panels are interfolded m order to provide a suitable packaging of a single serving of a frozen comestible.
  • This prior art document is likewise not directed to a dispenser for dispensing multiple tissue paper. To the contrary, in order to dispense the contents of this package, the package has to be destroyed completely.
  • Applicant has become aware of the fact that the dispensers for tissue paper i ⁇ iown in the prior art do not enable small children, in particular small children in the age between 1 and 10 years, to securely hold the dispensers in order to be in a position to remove facial tissues from the dispenser on their own. In other words, it is not possible for small children to securely hold the dispensers known in the prior art. This can result in frustration of the small children, leading to a situation in which using tissue papers for cleaning their nose, hands or face rather annoys them. This is even more so the case as the dispenser always slips away when a small child attempts to grab the dispenser.
  • an object of the present invention is to provide a dispenser for dispensing tissue paper which can be used more easily by small children.
  • a dispenser for dispensing tissue paper, in particular facial tissue paper, from a volume defined within a dispenser housing is provided, wherein the dispenser housing is made from a flat material, preferably a cardboard material. At least one handling section is provided which can be folded out from a wall of the dispenser housing.
  • the dispenser housing has at least two layers of the flat material at the location where the at least one handling section is present, wherein the at least one handling section is present in the outer layers of the flat material only, such that at least the innermost layer of the flat material remains intact and seals off the volume defined by the dispenser housing at the location where the at least one handling section is present such that the dispenser can be used as a fully operational dispenser when the at least one handling section is folded out.
  • the dispenser can be used more easily by small children and enables them to dispense tissue paper contained in the volume defined by the dispenser housing securely.
  • the at least one handling section which can be folded out from the dispenser, it becomes also possible to provide a unique and attractive outer appearance of the dispenser as such which attracts the use of the dispenser and, thus, of the tissue paper contained within the volume of the dispenser housing. By means of this attractiveness it might become easier for caretakers to convince young children to actually use tissue paper in order to clean their nose, face or hands, when necessary.
  • the unique design of the dispenser according to claim 1 also might help to overcome the inhibitions that small children might have against tissue paper boxes, or rather the use of tissue paper implied by the presence of these boxes, as they might be encouraged to play with the box, e.g. by turning the box by means of the at least one handling section into animals, vehicles, symbols or some rather fantastic forms.
  • the intact wall at the at least one handling section is important when young children play with the box or grip the box in order to dispense a tissue towel, in particular for cleaning their hands, as the hands may already be soiled. Because at least the innermost layer of the flat material remains intact, any contact with the contents of the dispenser housing, in particular with the tissue papers received within the volume of the dispenser housing, can be avoided. This further improves the handling of the dispenser, in particular by small children, as the small children can grip the dispenser at almost any position, in particular at the folded out handling section, without soiling or contaminating the tissue paper inside the dispenser housing.
  • the dispenser can also be easily held and used by small children because they can easily grip the at least one handling section.
  • the hand span of a small child is far too small to design a dispenser with suitable outer dimensions, as it would not hold a sufficient number of tissue paper products.
  • the solution provided by the at least one handling section is a unique solution for enabling small children to grip a dispenser safely.
  • the at least one handling section may be ornamentally shaped, in particular to resemble parts of animals, flowers, vehicles, symbols or any other suitable designs. This might attract small children even more to using the dispenser.
  • the at least one handling section includes a holder portion for holding material, such as pens, telephones, notes, toys or similar materials.
  • the holder portion may be formed in the form of a hole through which the materials can be inserted or in the form of a pocket into which the materials can be inserted.
  • At least two handling sections may be present in different walls, for example in opposite walls, of the dispenser. By means of two handling sections it is even more facilitated for a young child to grip and hold the dispenser for dispensing tissue paper.
  • the dispenser may be defined by at least n main walls, having full panels, and at least one composite wall, having at least two flaps, wherein the flat material comprises at least n+1 full panels, and at least two fail panels overlap at the location where the at least one handling section is present.
  • N is a natural number, without the 0, i.e. (1, 2, 3, ...) (positive integers).
  • full panel is intended to mean a panel which has the same size as the respective main wall of the dispenser. In other words, the full panel defines a full wall of the respective dispenser.
  • composite wall' ' is intended to mean a wall which is composed of at least two flaps, which may either overlap or abut upon one another. In other words, the respective flaps are smaller than the full composite wall of the dispenser.
  • lap is intended to define a piece of flat material which is smaller than a full panel or may even have the same size.
  • a dispenser having at least n main walls with full panels and having n+1 full panels in the flat material such that at least two full panels overlap at the position where the at least one handling section is present, it can be ensured that the at least one handling section can be shaped in the outer layers of the flat material in any form covering the full panel.
  • the at least one handling section may extend substantially across the entire outer panel, wherein it is still ensured that the innermost layer of the flat material remains intact and the volume defined within the dispenser housing is fully closed and protects the contents received within the volume defined by the dispenser housing at the location where the at least one handling section is present when the at least one handling section is fully folded out.
  • At least two flaps may overlap at the location where the at least one handling section is present, such that it is possible to keep the volume defined by the dispenser housing completely closed even if the at least one handling section is fully folded out.
  • the at least two layers of the flat material at the location where the at least one handling section is situated can be provided by means of any overlap between two full panels, two flaps, a flap and a full panel or any other suitable combinations wherein for the function of the dispenser it is irrelevant which of the elements forms the innermost layer and which forms the outer layers.
  • more than two elements can overlap in order to form the at least two layers at the location where the at least one handling section is present, in particular two flaps and a full panel, or any other suitable combinations of elements.
  • a dispensing opening may be defined in the flat material in a form according to which all layers of the flat material can be removed at the location where the dispensing opening is situated.
  • the dispenser can be fully opened at the dispensing opening such that access to the volume defined inside the dispenser housing can be gained.
  • the dispensing opening may be situated in a wall different from the wall in which the at least one handling section is situated.
  • the at least one handling section may be integral with at least one of the outer layers of the flat material in order to provide a reliable connection between the dispenser and the at least one handling section.
  • the at least one handling section may be provided in the outer layers of the flat material by means of a line of weakness, in particular a punched line of weakness or a perforation, which enables the outer layers to be folded out from a wall of the dispenser. If the line of weakness is provided in more than one outer layers, the resulting handling sections can be folded out into the same direction or could also be folded out into different directions, leading to a situation in which at least two different handling sections are located substantially at the same location in a wall of the dispenser.
