Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Prior Art) A pump-amp type cosmetic paper container has an opening at the top of the dispenser through which the user pulls out one tissue sheet while the next sheet is partially released. This prevents it from retracting completely within the dispenser. This approach is shown, for example, in U.S. Pat.・Tsuku film is used. Bat
Although systems such as es can prevent sheet retraction in certain dispenser containers, their effectiveness is limited to containers whose height is no greater than the distance by which the dispensing sheet can vertically raise the next sheet to be dispensed. has been done. If the container is too high or the stacking height of the folded sheets in the container becomes extremely low, the folded sheets will unravel before reaching the top of the container, and the sesop-up function may not work properly after that. will not work at all.

Therefore, there is a need for a dispensing container for toilet paper, vapor towels, etc. that provides pump-amp dispensing action regardless of container height or stacking height.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The invention, in summary, consists of a top panel, a bottom panel, a front panel, a back panel and two side panels, both the top and front panels covered with a flexible plastic film bonded to the container. a folded paper sheet dispensing container having a slit opening in the top and front top panel through which the plastic film is passed and the paper sheets are dispensed; This container allows the user to pull out the paper sheet from the top or front of the container, whichever is convenient, and at the same time prevent it from retreating.

The slit opening also allows the user to insert the thumb and forefinger into the front panel of the container to facilitate grasping of the next top sheet to be withdrawn in the event of retraction. When the container is full, the sheet can be easily pulled out through the slit opening in the top panel in the normal manner, and the plastic slit in the top panel allows the next partially pulled-out fold-out sheet to be removed for next use. “Bosopua Knob” position ← Hold. Once the stack height within the container has been reduced to the point where backing up begins or may occur, the sheet can be pulled out of the slit opening in the front panel and the plastic slit in the front panel will grip the next sheet as before.

Thus, the pop-up dispensing feature continues to function regardless of the height of the dispenser or the initial stack amount of temples used.

As a result, the present invention allows dispensing containers to be designed with stacking heights of any size, which for large stacking volumes results in significant cost savings by increasing the number of sheets per container. is particularly suitable for dispensing cosmetic paper, paper towels, etc.

EXAMPLES Referring to FIG. 1, an empty container of the present invention is shown. In the figure, top panel 1. Bottom panel 2, front panel 3. Back panel 4. and two side panels 5.6 are shown. For purposes herein, the top panel refers to the side of the container opposite the side on which the container rests in use (the bottom panel). Preferably, the folded sheets are stacked within the container such that the individual sheets lie in a plane parallel to both the top and bottom panels. (See Figure 2). The front, back and side panels are interchangeable and are named as such for reference purposes only. In FIG. 1, both the top and front panels share a common cutout opening 10 covered with a flexible plastic film 12. In FIG. The shape of the cut opening is arbitrary as long as it allows the sheet to be taken out. Another suitable shape is, for example, an oblong opening. The plastic film is bonded to the container, preferably to the inside of the container, by adhesive or other suitable means.

The edge 13 of the plastic film is shown in phantom. In this embodiment, the plastic film includes continuous L-shaped slits 1-15, with slits 15 located in the inner planes of the top and front panels. However, the slit opening can take many shapes. For example, it may be one linear slit or a plurality of slits, such as a cross-shaped opening formed by two intersecting slits. The slit may be a porous slit in addition to a continuous opening as shown in the figure, but in this case, the user tears the porous slit 7) during use.

The slits may be formed by tearing a single piece of plastic film, or they may be formed by placing two plastic films close together as shown in the Bates et al. patent. In any case, the slit opening allows the withdrawal of paper sheets through the top panel or the front panel, or even through both panels simultaneously as shown in FIG.

The length of the slit in the front panel varies depending on the height of the container.

However, the slit must extend sufficiently downward to near the bottom of the container to allow removal of the entire sheet without backing up. For example, in the case of decorative paper containers, the slit preferably extends to within about 1 inch (2.54 cm) from the bottom of the container. The slit also extends above the partially used stack at its top edge, allowing the user to remove the top of the stack when the stack height is reduced to the point where retraction occurs when removing sheets through the top panel. It must be possible to grasp the sheet sufficiently to remove it.

FIG. 2 shows the container of FIG. 1 filled with folded paper sheets 20, with the paper sheets pulled out from the top panel. When the number of containers is one or eleven, the user pulls out the sheet through the slit portion of the top panel as shown in the figure. Once the number of sheets remaining in the container has been reduced to the point where backing up begins to occur as the sheets are withdrawn from the top panel, the user may remove the sheets through the front panel or at least partially through the front panel. It can be pulled out.

FIG. 3 shows the latter case, where the corner edge 3 formed between the front and top panels of the container in FIG.
The sheet is being pulled out through 1. When the number of sheets in the container is further reduced, the sheets can be pulled through the slit in the front panel.

A slit in the plastic film holds the next sheet and prevents the sheet from backing up, which could occur if the sheet was pulled upwardly through the top panel as in conventional containers.

FIG. 4 is a perspective view of another embodiment of the invention in which the dispensing container has separate cutout openings 41, 42 in its top and front panel.
The 9 double apertures each have a sulin 1-
It is covered with a flexible plastic film containing 43.44. In this embodiment, the user can first pull the seat out through the opening in the top panel until a point is reached where retraction begins to occur. The user can then pull sheets through the front panel as described above until the dispenser is empty. This embodiment differs from the embodiment shown in Figures 1 to 3 in that the sheet must be pulled out from either the top or the front, whereas the previous embodiment allows the sheet to be pulled out through the corner between both the top and front panels. Function 1 is different.

FIG. 5 is a perspective view of yet another embodiment functionally equivalent to FIG. 4, the dispensing container having a common cut opening in both the top and front panels as in FIG. Two separate sulins 1-51.52 are formed in the plastic film to allow for pulling of the sheet through either the top panel or the front panel.

The above aspects are presented for illustrative purposes and should not be considered as limiting the scope of the claimed invention.
