Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to tissue dispensers and methods, and more specifically to methods and apparatus for tissue dispensing for persons with restricted hand movement.
  • the person does not have two hands free to open a packet of tissues and/or to retrieve tissues therefrom.
  • a person may be wearing gloves or other protective clothing, which reduce or prevent fine finger movement.
  • Some patent publications in the field include US4805242 , which describes a pocket combination for holding a packet of dispensable paper tissue and for incorporation in a leather ski-glove or other like article of clothing, including a packet-receiving opening in the outer layer of the article, the edges of the opening holding the sides of the packet and an inner layer of material for supporting the bottom, major surface of the packet.
  • US5924136 discloses a hand mounted pocket for placement on a back of a hand.
  • the hand mounted pocket comprises: a wrist band, at least one finger band, and a pocket panel.
  • the wrist band is annular and is sized to engage a person's wrist.
  • at least one finger band is annular and is sized to engage at least one finger of a person's hand.
  • the wrist band and at least one finger band are joined by the pocket panel, wherein an upper portion of the pocket panel is attached to at least one finger band, and a lower portion of the pocket panel is attached to the wrist band.
  • the pocket panel is sized to extend across a back portion of a hand, the pocket panel has at least one pocket therein.
  • US7735682 discloses a wipes dispenser that includes a generally tubular transparent housing adapted to be worn about a person's wrist with a plurality of wipes contained within the housing.
  • the housing also has an opening through which the wipes are dispensed.
  • the opening may be covered with a hinged re-sealable cap that may cover or uncover the opening as needed.
  • improved methods and apparatus are provided for dispensing tissues for use by a thickly gloved hand.
  • a method and system for providing tissues in a dispenser for extreme weather conditions.
  • the present invention provides a tissue dispensing system for dispensing a tissue with restricted hand movement, the system including a tissue holding element for storage of a tissue stack, an opening on a lower end of the tissue holding element through which one end of the tissue stack is disposed and an attachment element for attaching the tissue holding element to a garment, wherein the one end of the tissue stack is adapted to be pulled from with the restricted hand movement from the tissue holding element to release a portion of the tissue stack.
  • the present invention provides a tissue dispenser for such situations. Moreover, the present invention provides a tissue dispenser for use when skiing. Wiping one's nose with a tissue is virtually impossible with ski gloves on. A person must remove his gloves, to extract a tissue from a packet, held inside a pocket, pouch or the like, sometimes while holding skis, which is both time consuming and cold. Some ski resorts offer wipe dispensers situated by the ski lifts, which helps when you are there, but not while riding a ski lift, or while skiing down a slope.
  • the present invention provides a portable paper tissue dispenser, which is easily handled while having thick gloves on. This is for use, for example, when skiing, snowboarding, snowshoeing. Additionally or alternatively, this is for use for a construction worker or a utility repairman, working outside in cold climate.
  • the present invention provides a zippered pouch, from which tissues can be removed by a thickly gloved hand.
  • a pouch with a cap - either screwed on cap, or fit-on cap is provided.
  • the pouch is attached to a coat or jacket by means of an attaching element, such as a plastic hook or clip, safety pin or other similar attachment means.
  • the pouch comprises a large orifice at a lower side thereof, through which paper tissue is easily retrieved. Tissue paper, wipes or the like, are folded in a snake-like formation and stacked vertically to fit within the pouch, with one end of it reaching out through the hole or slit, and the other end pushing against the opposite end of the pouch.
  • the paper may either be perforated or unperforated. Handling with ski gloves on is pretty rough. The user is able to pull on the end of the paper tissue, pull out as much as they like, and just rip it off, leaving the loose end to hang out through the hole, or be tacked under a loop/hook, ready for its next use. When the tissue paper runs out, it is replaced with another stack of tissue paper
  • the plastic hook may also come with a retractable zip line, so that people could pull the pouches closer in front of them when they want to use them, or put them in their pockets when they are skiing. It is easy to move a pouch around with gloves on.
  • the tissue dispensing system further includes an attachment receiving element for attaching the attachment element to the tissue dispensing system.
  • the tissue holding element is a pouch.
  • the pouch includes a zippered opening on an upper face thereof for introducing the tissue stack thereto.
  • the attachment element is selected from the group consisting of a hook, a safety pin, a spring coiled extender element, a clasp and combinations thereof.
  • the tissue dispensing system further includes a zipper protection flap.
  • the tissue dispensing system is adapted to hold 5-200 tissues.
  • the tissue dispensing system is adapted to hold 30-80 tissues.
  • the tissue dispensing system is adapted to hold 40-60 tissues.
  • the tissue dispensing system is adapted to hold 5-200 wipes.
  • the tissue dispensing system is adapted to hold 30-80 wipes.
  • the tissue dispensing system is adapted to hold 40-60 wipes.
  • the tissue holding element is 8 to 30 cm long and 2-20 cm wide.
  • the restricted hand movement is due to the hand being is a thick glove.
  • the system is suitable for use in extreme weather conditions.
  • the system is suitable for use by a disabled person.
  • the system is suitable for use by a one-handed person.
  • the tissue holding element is constructed out of a fabric, a material, leather, suede, a plastic material, a polymeric material or combinations thereof.
  • the garment is selected from a jacket, a coat, pants, an overall, a ski garment, a protective garment and combinations thereof.
  • the system is adapted to be introduced into a pocket of the garment.
  • the present invention provides a system and method for handling paper tissue with thick gloves on.

  • the coiled extender element is useful for attaching the tissue dispensing system, to enable pulling the dispenser from a pocket to outside a coat or jacket, or pulling it towards a user's face.
  • Fig. 1B is another simplified pictorial illustration showing a tissue dispensing system (dispenser) 150, in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention.
  • Dispenser 150 is constructed and configured to hold a tissue stack 120, with optional perforations 122 separating between tissues.

  • a person can introduce a finger 226 of a hand 220 into opening 112 ( Fig. 1B ).
  • the dispenser comprises an inner hollow space 224 for containing the tissue pack or stack 120.
  • Fig. 2C is a simplified pictorial illustration showing a closed tissue dispensing system, in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention.

  • tissue dispensers of the present invention are constructed and configured to be attached and detached from to a piece of clothing, such as, but not limited to a jacket or pants, without forming an integral part of that piece of clothing.
  • the tissue dispensers of the present invention are constructed and configured to easily be refilled with new paper tissue. They are not placed on a hand garment and do not interfere with freedom of hand movement.
  • the tissue dispensers of the present invention enables a "tail end" of the paper tissue to be pulled through the opening, then torn, while the person has thick gloves on (not shown) the tail end of the issue protrudes from the opening of the dispenser, so that it can conveniently be pulled on by a hand, even when that hand is covered with a thick glove.
