DESCRIPTION

of the industrial invention entitled:

"Disposable Tissue Pack"

The present invention relates to a packet of disposable handkerchiefs.

The invention also refers to a blank for making a packet of disposable tissues and a method for making a packet of disposable tissues.

For ?disposable handkerchief pack? generically means a package containing handkerchiefs intended to be removed from the package to be used and subsequently disposed of without being reinserted into the package, the package itself being intended to be disposed of after the handkerchiefs have run out.

For ?disposable handkerchief? generically means a sheet, typically square or rectangular, made of non-washable absorbent materials, such as cellulose, intended to be taken from a package to be used only once, or more? times in a limited amount of time, and subsequently disposed of without being repackaged. In the present description and in the attached claims the expression ?disposable handkerchief? it also includes conceptually similar objects, such as washcloths and napkins.

Some packets of disposable handkerchiefs currently on the market contain a stack of handkerchiefs folded so as to have a rectangular shape. The pile therefore has a substantially parallelepiped shape and is wrapped in a film, typically plastic, which has an extraction opening from which the user can? take the handkerchief of the pile pi? close to opening. In order to effectively hold the handkerchiefs and prevent them from accidentally coming out of the package, the extraction opening is? mail at a short side of the package and ? closed by a closing flap held in place by an adhesive film.

Packages of disposable handkerchiefs are also known comprising two compartments, each containing a stack of handkerchiefs and having a handkerchief extraction opening for extracting the handkerchiefs from the respective stack. The two compartments are connected by a connecting wall which allows reciprocal movement? between an open configuration, in which the tissue extraction openings of the compartments are accessible and the user can? extracting the tissues, and a closed configuration in which the two compartments are leaned against each other so as to obstruct the openings for extracting the tissues.

Examples of packets of disposable handkerchiefs of the ?wallet? are disclosed in US 2008/054011 A1 and US 2002/060167 A1 .

The Applicant has noticed that the known packets of the ?wallet? they have perimeter joints (welding or gluing) arranged along the perimeter of the package itself, aimed at joining the two opposing walls of each compartment. These perimeter joints are made in correspondence with portions of the wall which protrude laterally with respect to the gusset plates.

The Applicant has perceived that these protruding wall portions inevitably cause an increase in the dimensions of the packet of handkerchiefs.

Furthermore, the Applicant has noted that each protruding wall portion defines a lip which, being constituted by two flaps joined together, presents a rigidity at least double that of the remaining wall portions of the compartments.

The Applicant has found that this lip can be annoying when a user holds the packet of tissues in his hand or in his pocket.

The Applicant has also noted that the seams of known disposable handkerchief packets, being arranged in correspondence with the aforementioned protruding wall portions, are visible even when the handkerchief packet? closed in on itself. There? can? determine an unwanted aesthetic effect and can? make it difficult to adopt logos, decorations or report written information in correspondence with these protruding portions of the wall.

For these reasons, the Applicant has perceived that, if a package of disposable handkerchiefs were made comprising two compartments without perimeter joints protruding laterally with respect to the handkerchiefs, the above mentioned drawbacks would be resolved. Pi? in particular, the package of disposable handkerchiefs would be less bulky, more? comfortable and would have a better aesthetics.

The present invention therefore relates, in its first aspect, to a packet of disposable handkerchiefs comprising two compartments.

Preferably, each of said two compartments comprises a stack of handkerchiefs intended to be picked up one at a time by a user.

Preferably, each of said two compartments comprises a first wall in contact with the handkerchief of the stack of handkerchiefs which is? intended to be picked up first by the user.

Preferably, each of said two compartments comprises a second wall arranged substantially parallel to and on the opposite side to the first wall with respect to the stack of handkerchiefs.

Preferably, each of said two compartments comprises a perimeter wall arranged substantially orthogonal to the first wall and to the second wall.

Preferably, the perimeter wall? extended at least partially around the stack of handkerchiefs from the first wall to the second wall.

Preferably, each of said two compartments comprises a handkerchief extraction opening.

Preferably, the package also comprises a wall connecting the two compartments.

Preferably, each of the two compartments ? movable with respect to the other compartment and to the connecting wall between a non-operating position in which the first wall of a compartment ? facing the first wall of the other compartment and the handkerchief extraction opening is not ? accessible by the user, and an operating position in which the handkerchief extraction opening is accessible by the user.

Preferably, the perimeter wall of each of said two compartments comprises a bottom wall arranged on the opposite side to the connection wall with respect to the stack of handkerchiefs.

Preferably, the perimeter wall of each of said two compartments comprises a first side wall arranged between the bottom wall and the connecting wall.

Preferably, the perimeter wall of each of said two compartments comprises a second side wall arranged between the bottom wall and the connecting wall on the opposite side to the first side wall with respect to the stack of handkerchiefs.

A first embodiment of a pack of disposable handkerchiefs in accordance with the present invention ? indicated in figures 7-8 with the reference number 10, and ? hereinafter referred to with the abbreviated notation ?package 10?.

The 10 pack ? made starting from a blank 50. Figures 1 and 10 illustrate this blank 50 before making package 10.

The blank 50 (and consequently the package 10) ? preferably made of materials with low environmental impact, such as recyclable materials in general. Preferably, the blank 50 ? made of paper, cardboard or bioplastic.

Figure 1 also shows two stacks 14 of handkerchiefs 16.

As illustrated for example in figure 7, the package 1 comprises two compartments, in particular a first compartment 11 and a second compartment 12.

Each compartment 10 comprises a respective stack 14 of handkerchiefs 16. Therefore a first stack 14 of handkerchiefs 16 ? housed in the first compartment 11 and a second stack 14 of handkerchiefs 16 ? housed in the second compartment 12.

Each compartment 11, 12 comprises a handkerchief extraction opening 8.

The handkerchiefs 16 are preferably similar to those widely present on the market and sold in conventional packets. These handkerchiefs 16 consist of rectangular or square-shaped sheets of paper folded so as to have a square or rectangular plan shape.

Each stack 14 comprises a plurality? of handkerchiefs 16 identical to each other, folded and arranged one on top of the other, preferably in mutual alignment. Each stack 14 has cos? a substantially right parallelepiped shape, with two opposite main faces coinciding with opposite main faces of the respective gusset plates 16 arranged at the ends? of the pile 14 and a height defined by the sum of the thicknesses of the individual gussets 16 of the pile 14. This height defines a lateral surface of the pile 14 having two major lateral faces and two minor lateral faces.

Each pile 14 can? comprising a number of gussets 16 greater than two, preferably less than ten. Preferably, the total number of handkerchiefs 16 in package 1 is between eight and twelve, for example ten, which can be distributed between the two piles 14 in various ways.

In the first embodiment, illustrated in figures 1 to 9, the two piles 14 have the same number of tissues 16, for example five. In other embodiments, the two stacks 14 have a different number of gusset plates 16 from each other. For example, the two piles 14 can respectively comprise four and six handkerchiefs.

Each stack 14 of handkerchiefs 16 ? disposed in the respective compartment 11, 12 in such a way that a handkerchief 17 disposed at one end? of the stack 14 is intended to be picked up first and another handkerchief 18 placed at one end? opposite of stack 14 is intended to be withdrawn last.

Each compartment 11, 12 comprises a first wall 20, preferably rectangular in shape, ie having two long sides and two short sides. The first wall 20 ? preferably in contact with a main face of the stack 14, in particular with a face of the handkerchief 17 of the stack 14.

Each compartment 11, 12 comprises a second wall 30, also preferably rectangular in shape, ie having two long sides and two short sides. The second wall 30 ? preferably in contact with the main face of the pile 14 opposite to the one which ? in contact with the first wall 20, in particular with one face of the gusset 18 of the pile 14.

The second wall 30 ? therefore arranged on the opposite side to the first wall 20 with respect to the pile 14 of handkerchiefs 16. The second wall 30 is also substantially parallel to the first wall 20.

The package 10 also includes a connecting wall 13 of the two compartments 11 and 12.

Compartment 11? movable with respect to the other compartment 12 and to the connecting wall 13 between a non-operative position in which the first wall 20 of the compartment 11 is facing the first wall 20 of the other compartment 12 and the handkerchief extraction opening 8 is not? accessible by the user (figures 8 and 9), and an operating position in which the handkerchief extraction opening 8 is? accessible by the user (figure 7). In figure 7 the first wall 20 of the compartment 11 is flanked to the first wall 20 of the other compartment 12 and the second wall 30 of the compartment 11? flanked to the first wall 20 of the other compartment 12 and to the connecting wall 13.

Each compartment 11, 12 also comprises a perimeter wall 40 extending partially around the stack 14 of handkerchiefs 16 so as to partially surround the stack 14 of handkerchiefs 16. In particular, the perimeter wall 40 extends along three side faces of the stack 14.

The perimeter wall 40 extends between the first wall 20 and the second wall 30, and is substantially orthogonal to the first wall 20 and to the second wall 30.

The entity? of the extension of the perimeter wall 40 between the first wall 20 and the second wall 30? correlated to the total height of the pile 14 of handkerchiefs 16. In particular, this extension is? substantially equal to the total height of the respective stack 14 of handkerchiefs 16 placed in each compartment 11, 12.

The perimeter wall 40 comprises three surfaces which are preferably rectangular in shape.

A first surface of the perimeter wall 40 defines a bottom wall 42 of the compartment 11, 12. The bottom wall 42 is disposed on one side of the stack 14 of handkerchiefs 16, between a long side of the first wall 20 and a long side of the second wall 30. The back wall 42 is arranged on the opposite side of the connecting wall 13 with respect to the stack 14 of handkerchiefs 16. In particular, the back wall 42 is arranged in correspondence with a larger side face of the stack 14.

In figures 7-9 the package 10 ? oriented with the bottom walls 42 arranged vertically. A fold line 42a connects the bottom wall 42 and the first wall 20. The fold line 42a extends along a long side of the first wall 20 and a long side of the bottom wall 42. A fold line 42b connects the wall bottom 42 and the second wall 30. The fold line 42b extends along a long side of the second wall 30 and a long side of the bottom wall 42.

A second surface of the perimeter wall 40 defines a first side wall 46 of the compartment 11, 12. The first side wall 46 is extended from the back wall 42 and ? disposed between the bottom wall 42 and the connecting wall 13, extending from the first wall 20 to the second wall 30. The first side wall 46 is substantially orthogonal to the bottom wall 42, to the first wall 20 and to the second wall 30. In particular, the first side wall 46 is arranged at a minor side face of the stack 14. A fold line 46a connects the first side wall 46 and the first wall 20. The fold line 46a extends along a short side of the first wall 20 and a long side of the first sidewall 46. A fold line 46b connects the first sidewall 46 and the second wall 30. The fold line 46b extends along a short side of the second wall 30 and a long side of the first sidewall 46.

A third surface of the perimeter wall 40 defines a second side wall 48 of the compartment 11 and 12, not visible in the accompanying figures. The second side wall 48 ? extended from the back wall 42 and ? arranged between the bottom wall 42 and the connecting wall 13, extending from the first wall 20 to the second wall 30. The second side wall 48 is substantially orthogonal to the bottom wall 42, to the first wall 20 and to the second wall 30. The second side wall 48 is substantially arranged parallel to the first lateral wall 46 on the opposite side therefrom with respect to the stack 14 of handkerchiefs 16. In particular, the second lateral wall 48 is arranged in correspondence with the other smaller lateral face of the pile 14. A folding line 48a connects the second lateral wall 48 and the first wall 20. The folding line 48a extends along a short side of the first wall 20 and a long side of the second sidewall 48. A fold line 48b connects the second sidewall 48 and the second wall 30. The fold line 48b extends along a short side of the second wall 30 and a long side of the second sidewall 48.

Each compartment 11 and 12 therefore comprises the aforementioned second surface, which? arranged on one side of the stack 14 of handkerchiefs 16, the aforementioned third surface, which is substantially parallel to the first surface and arranged on the opposite side of the aforementioned second surface with respect to the stack 14 of handkerchiefs 16, and the aforementioned first surface, which extends from the aforementioned second surface to the aforementioned third surface and which is substantially orthogonal to said second surface and to said third surface. In other words, the perimeter wall 40 comprises three surfaces arranged in a ?U? around the pile 14 of handkerchiefs 16.

The package 10 further comprises a first corner 40a extending between the bottom wall 42 and the first side wall 46 and between the first wall 20 and the second wall 30, and a second corner 40b extending between the bottom wall 42 and the second wall lateral 48 and between the first wall 20 and the second wall 30.

The first wall 20 comprises an edge 22 adjacent to the handkerchief extraction opening 8, i.e. arranged on the opposite side of the back wall 42. At the edge 22, the first wall 20 has a recess 24 configured to allow a finger of the handkerchief? user to go in contact with the handkerchief 16 that is in that moment pi? near the first wall 20, when pack 10 ? in the operating position. In the non-limiting example illustrated in figure 7, the recess 24 has a substantially rectangular shape and extends along the entire length of the long side of the first wall 20.

The tissue extraction opening 8 ? adapted to allow the handkerchiefs 16 to be withdrawn from the respective compartment 11, 12 one at a time. This extraction can be carried out by grasping an upper surface of the handkerchief 16 with a finger to be extracted by inserting the finger into the recess 24.

The handkerchief extraction opening 8 extends from the first wall 20 to the second wall 30 and from the first side wall 46 to the second side wall 48. The handkerchief extraction opening 8 is open. arranged at a larger side face of the stack 14 of handkerchiefs 16, opposite the bottom wall 42 with respect to the stack 14 itself. The recess 24 ? adjacent to the tissue extraction opening 8.

The connecting wall 13 ? arranged adjacent to the handkerchief extraction openings 8 of the two compartments 11 and 12. The connecting wall 13 is adjacent to the second walls 30 of the compartments 11 and 12 and preferably has a rectangular shape. A 13a main fold line ? interposed between the connecting wall 13 and the first compartment 11 and a main folding line 13b ? interposed between the connecting wall 13 and the second compartment 12.

Compartments 11 and 12 can be moved ?in a wallet? with respect to each other and with respect to the connecting wall 13 between an operative position (such as that of figure 7) and a non-operative position (such as that of figure 8), by means of rotation of the compartment 11 with respect to the line main fold line 13a and the compartment 12 with respect to the main fold line 13b.

In the non-operative or closed position, the first walls 20 of the two compartments 11 and 12 face each other and preferably abut against each other (figure 8). The respective extraction openings 8 are obstructed and face the connecting wall 13, not allowing the extraction of handkerchiefs 16. In the non-limiting example illustrated in figure 8, the connecting wall 13 is? substantially parallel to the two side by side back walls 42 of the two compartments 11 and 12, and has dimensions substantially equal to those of the whole of the two side by side back walls 42, to define a right parallelepiped.

In the operating position (figure 7), the two compartments 11 and 12 are moved away from each other and ? It is possible to take the handkerchiefs 16 from the two compartments 11 and 12 through the respective extraction openings 8.

A closing tab (not shown), preferably of an adhesive type, can? be provided on a back wall 42 of one of the two compartments 11, 12 to removably couple to the back wall 42 of the other compartment 12, 11, so as to keep the package 10 in the inactive or closed position (figure 8).

In one embodiment thereof, packet 10 comprises at least one predetermined break line (not shown) configured to separate one compartment 11, 12 from the other compartment 12, 11. The predetermined break line is? specially weakened, for example by local thinning, or by localized cuts in the blank, so as to favor the breaking of the packet 10 along its own trajectory if specifically solicited by the user.

Preferably, the pre-established breaking line ? arranged in correspondence with one of the two second walls 30 near of the connecting wall 13. The predetermined break line allows the user to separate a compartment 11, 12 in which tissues have run out from a compartment 12, 11 still containing tissues. In this embodiment, the connecting wall 13 of the package 10 can assume the function of a closure tab of the extraction opening 8 after the separation of the empty compartment 11, 12.

The first wall 20, the second wall 30 and the perimeter wall 40 of each of the two compartments 11, 12 are part of a single blank 50, illustrated in figures 1 and 10. This blank 50 is folded and joined at the first side wall 46 and of the second lateral wall 48.

For this purpose, the first lateral wall 46 comprises two lateral flaps 47a, 47b superimposed on each other and mutually fixed.

Similarly, the second lateral wall 48 comprises two lateral flaps 49a, 49b superimposed on each other and mutually fixed.

The first side flaps 47a and 49a are associated with the first wall 20 in correspondence with the respective fold lines 46a and 48a.

The second lateral flaps 47b and 49b are associated with the second wall 30 in correspondence with the respective fold lines 46b and 48b.

The two lateral flaps 47a, 47b and the two lateral flaps 49a, 49b are fixed to each other by welding, preferably of the ultrasonic type, or by gluing.

Preferably, the connecting wall 13 is part of the aforementioned single blank 50.

How already? mentioned above, the 10 package ? made starting from the blank 50 illustrated in figures 1 and 10. These figures show in particular an embodiment of the blank 50 intended to make a package 10 which houses an equal number of handkerchiefs 16 in the two compartments 11 and 12, such as for example the package of figures 7-9.

The blank 50 comprises a first part configured to define the first compartment 11 of the package 10 of tissues 16, a second part configured to define the second compartment 12 of the package 10 of tissues 16 and a third part extending between the first part and the second part configured to define the connecting wall 13.
