Description

SILK PAPER DISPENSER CONTAINER FIELD OF THE INVENTION; The present invention relates to systems for supplying tissue paper, packaging for sheets of tissue paper and inter-folding distributions for sheets of tissue paper. The present invention relates to absorbent tissue paper sheets of all kinds, including sheets of toilet tissue paper / sheets of toilet paper / non-woven absorbent sheets, sheets of tissue paper, facial sheets, sheets of tissue paper type of paper towel for kitchen, paper sheets- silk towel manual, paper napkins, wipes, etc.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Various types of tissue paper packages are known in the field. There is tissue paper for bathing, which is usually provided as a continuous strip of tissue paper. Bath tissue paper is in the form of a continuous strip of tissue paper divided into sheets, each approximately the length of a hand (but smaller and larger leaves are also known), with a perforation line through the continuous strip. The continuous strip of tissue paper for bath wraps around a tubular core. The tissue paper for kitchen, for cleaning splashes in the kitchen is often also provided in the form of a roll of tissue paper. It is also known to provide toilet tissue for bathing as a stack, rather than as a roll. The sheets of tissue paper are intertwined in such a way that i As one sheet is pulled, the next sheet comes partially protruding through the supply opening of a retaining jet mounted on the wall that holds the stack. The stack can be wrapped in thin paper so that it can be removed before the dispenser is loaded. Stacks of tissue paper for coreless bath are also known, which are described below.

There is also a known facial tissue paper which can be provided as a stack of interfolded tissue paper sheets. A box containing the stack of tissue paper has a supply opening through which the sheets of tissue paper can be pulled out one by one. The interdobiality of the sheets of tissue paper allows the extraction of a successive sheet by partially pulling a preceding sheet; A sheet partially pulled in this manner adheres to the supply opening for ease of attachment and removal. The box is disposable insofar as it is made of biodegradable materials such as cardboard.

The present inventors have observed a defect in the design of a tissue paper roll in terms of hygiene. A roll of tissue paper should generally be handled with both hands when separating a sheet or sheets from a roll. This means that previously the user needs to handle the tissue paper that the next user will use. From a hygiene perspective, this is not optimal, especially in the context of tissue paper for bathing. There is also the problem that the rolls of tissue paper can not be transported and stored in a perfect stack. That is, the tubular core of the roll and the poorly-hosted rolls means that space that would otherwise be occupied by tissue paper is wasted.

Facial paper tissue boxes and stacks of tissue paper for bathing are somehow a more hygienic choice than rolls of tissue paper. The boxes provide a relatively closed structure so access is provided only to the uppermost sheet in the stack in the box, which is the sheet that the user will use. However, there is room for improvements in current tissue paper packaging. It is usually designed in such a way that a perforation cut is formed which is removed to show the supply opening. A more intuitive and less uncomfortable way to open a package of tissue paper is desirable. In addition, the supply of tissue paper from a conventional tissue paper box is usually a two-hand process. One hand holds the box down and the other hand pulls the sheet of tissue paper out. A tissue paper dispenser in which only one hand is used is preferable.

A stacked paper of sheets of tissue paper for bath can be provided for delivery from a permanent dispenser. The filling of the toilet tissue paper sheets is provided to fill the dispenser. Paper towel dispensers are also known in the field. These towels can be designed for drying hands or face. These may be provided in the form of wall-mountable containers that are loaded with a stack of paper towels or sheets of tissue paper for bathing. To load, the paper towels or sheets of tissue paper for bath are removed from a wrap which can be plastic or paper and are loaded into the container. A design of a paper towel container has, at its lower end, a slot aligned with a longitudinal axis of the paper towels so that the towels can be removed from the container, one at a time. The container and stack of paper towels are commonly configured so that the paper towel is pulled in a direction of the transverse axis of the paper towel to pull it out of the container. The present inventors have observed that the short axis of the paper towel presented in a manner to the user, which often later rotates so that an axle left the towel is aligned with a long axis of the face. A tissue paper dispenser design for bathing and stacking tissue paper for toilet has inter-folded sheets so that one sheet is removed from the dispenser, and partially pulls the next sheet to be supplied through the slot for ease of attachment of the tissue. the next sheet. The interfolded bath tissue paper dispensers have not been extracted in the domestic context although they are used in businesses or away from home environments. One reason for this is possibly due to the volume occupied by the tissue paper dispensers for bath making them unsuitable for domestic use. Possibly another reason for this is that the jets are not easy to load. Another reason for this may be that current dispenser designs do not meet what people expect or want in a domestic environment.

Regarding the form of stacking of the tissue paper fountains for bathroom mentioned in the foregoing, it should be evident that improvements can be made to carry out the loading and the process of using the container or dispenser as close as possible to an operation of one stage Similarly, the process of loading and delivery of tissue paper should be ergonomically friendlier.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention, in its various aspects and preferred embodiments, is to correct the above problems and provide improved tissue paper delivery systems.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION In one aspect of the present invention there is provided a package comprising a stack of absorbent tissue paper sheets, wherein the package comprises at least one line of weakening having an unbroken configuration and a broken configuration and wherein the package it is configured to be flexed to pull apart the line of weakening when the line of weakness is in the broken configuration to open the package to allow a sheet in the stack to be pulled through the open package.

Preferably, the stack of sheets of tissue paper is elongated and the open package shows a central region longitudinally of the stack of sheets of paper while the longitudinal ends of the stack remain covered by the package. Preferably, the packing and the weakening line are configured so that the line of weakness is broken when the package is flexed.

A package designed in this way provides an intuitive, even satisfactory way to open it and get the sheets. For a package to be configured in this way, it needs to be able to be flexed without tension by most adults, including old and young adults. There is certainly a rewarding feeling to open with a snap.

In an alternative embodiment, the weakening line defines, at least partially, a tear-off strip that is configured to be pulled in an extension direction of the weakening line to break the weakening line. The tear-off strip should be implemented by means of a pair of separate lines of weakening with a protruding pull tab at one end of the strip for tear-off, whereby the pull tab can be pulled in the direction of extension of the pair of weakening lines to break at least one weakening line so that the package can be opened.

Preferably, the package has a size so that it can be held by the full hands of a user in order to carry out the bending. That is, the package is sized so that the palm (at least partially), fingers and thumb of one hand fit around the package (so that the package fills the hand) on one side of the line of weakening and the palm, fingers and thumb of the other hand are placed around the package on the other side of the weakening line (so that the packing fills the hands). The hands can be manipulated in such a way that they bend the packing and in this way break the weakening line. The packaging is sized so that it is suitable to be opened in this way. In practice a user may prefer to apply counter-rotating forces using a hand on one side of the weakening line and using, for example, a work surface as an opposite resistance. Other ways to break the weakening line with one hand can be tensed by the experts.

Preferably, the package is elongated. At least one weakening line can be placed in a central region and extend across the length of the package. In fact, at least one weakening line can be at least one lateral line that is centrally positioned with respect to a longitudinal direction of the package. Opposite longitudinal end regions of the package in this manner can be clamped and a rotational force can be applied by a user about a pivot point provided by the weakening line. In this way, the weakening line is provided in an optimal pivot line around which the package can be flexed to reduce the force required to open the package. If the weakening line extends longitudinally, then opposite lateral sides of the weakening line need to be clamped, which may make it more difficult to create a required bending due to the increased turning force.

Preferably, the package is configured to be flexed around a hinge portion of the package which serves to hold the package together when the line of weakness has been opened by breaking it. That is, the line of weakness may extend around the package so that the hinge portion of the package remains when the line of weakness has been opened by breaking it. The weakening line may encompass three of the four sides (different from the end faces of the package) around the package, with at least part of the fourth side serving as the hinge portion of the package. Written in another way, the weakening line extends around most of the lateral periphery of the elongated package so that a minor part of the part that is not encompassed by the weakening line serves as a hinge portion that holds the opposite parts of the packaging together and allowing the package to open around the hinge portion.

The package can preferably be opened around a hinge portion on one side of the package to provide a supply opening on an opposite face of the package.

Preferably, the package is configured to be bent from a closed and sealed configuration to an open configuration by breaking the weakening line. Preferably, the package can be manipulated back to its closed position whereby opposite sides of the broken line of weakening are brought into contact. This manipulation is preferably performed by rotating the package around the hinge portion.

The package is preferably sufficiently rigid to maintain the open configuration even when the package is oriented so that the weight of the fabric presses against the hinge portion. Such an arrangement allows the package to serve as a tissue paper dispenser from the top. Otherwise, the package is sufficiently rigid so that when it is empty it retains at least substantially its shape than when it is full. The packaging can be made of cardboard, paper or plastic. Preferably, the package is made of a biodegradable material.

In a second aspect of the present invention, there is provided a package comprising a stack of sheets of absorbent tissue paper, wherein the package is openable, from a closed configuration where the sheets of paper are hidden, by moving a part of the packaging relative to another part of the package and wherein a cover is movable with one of the parts in relation to the other part so as to cover a portion of the sheets, leaving still uncovered a portion of the sheets in order to allow that a sheet be removed from the package.

Preferably, the first aspect of the invention and the second aspect of the invention are combined, whereby the package is configured so that the respective parts of the package move apart from each other when the line of weakness is broken and the packaging a cover is opened and provided to move with one of the parts relative to the other to cover a portion of the sheets when the package is in an open configuration and to leave a portion of the sheets uncovered to allow access to the sheets. sheets of tissue paper to remove a sheet from the package.

A stack of sheets having a top sheet providing the top of the stack, a bottom sheet providing the bottom of the stack and a number of sheets stacked between the top and bottom sheets providing side of the stack connecting the top can be described. and bottom of the stack. The cover is preferably configured to cover one side of the stack of sheets when the package is in the open configuration.

Preferably, the cover is sufficient to see through and show when the number of sheets remaining in the stack has reached an exhausted state. That is, once there are fewer than a predetermined number of sheets remaining in the stack, the user can observe this exhausted state through the cover by observing the position of the last sheet in the stack.

Preferably, the cover is combined with the embodiment described above so that the package has a hinge portion and the package can be opened and closed by rotation about the hinge portion. The packing rotation around the hinge is such that it provides a supply opening in the package through which a first sheet in the stack (closest to the supply opening in a stack removal sequence of the stack) is shows and can be removed, wherein the top sheet is on an opposite side of the stack to the hinge and also provides a side opening through which the stack is shown, in a thickness (or stacking direction) direction. The side opening becomes further separated by extending from the hinge end to the supply opening end. Preferably, the cover is configured to cover the side opening. Preferably, the cover substantially corresponds to the shape of the side opening. Even more preferably, the side opening is triangle-shaped, with a vertex thereof extending to the hinge portion. A base of the triangle in the supply opening can be curved or straight.

Preferably, in a closed configuration, preferably the closed configuration with the weakening line still not breaking, the cover is inside the package. Preferably, the cover is attached to one side of the weakening line, preferably an inner surface of a packing wall on one side of the weakening line and extends to the other side of the weakening line in a cantilevered manner.

Preferably, the cover is attached to one part of the package and is configured with respect to the other part of the package as the parts move relative to each other in the opening of the package, i.e. in the closed package configuration, the cover overlaps the other part of the package and moves into a state of less overlap or no overlap as the package is opened.

In a third aspect of the invention, there is provided a container for containing a stack of interdoblad absorbent tissue paper sheets, the container comprising a supply opening for; removing a sheet from the stack through the supply opening, wherein the supply opening has lips that overlap in a direction of sheet removal, the lips are configured to be opened in a state of least overlap or without overlapping conformation the leaves move through it and to return to a state of overlap after the removal of the leaf.

The container may comprise a stack of sheets. The container may be a package comprising a stack of sheets, preferably as defined above. The container is capable of resisting the undesirable falling of tissue paper sheets from the dispenser opening when they are not removed. In particular, the container can be mounted so that the weight of the stack is directed to the supply opening. Despite the weight that presses the opening, the lips are able to prevent the sheets from sliding out of the supply opening. This is because the lips need to be substantially flexed from a state of overlap in order to pass any of the tissue paper sheets. This can be compared to a known opening in tissue paper boxes, whereby a film is dispersed through the supply opening and must slide therein. Although the groove has a tendency to prevent the sheets from sliding out of the dispenser opening unintentionally, it does not require such a large amount of deflection that the lips overlap as in the third aspect of the present invention.

In the direction of removal of tissue paper, one of the lips is more forward than the other. Preferably, the lips are configured so that they alternate which of the lips is the lip further forward for each sheet that is supplied.

Preferably, the overlying lips are shaped to provide an opening through which a sheet adjacent to the delivery opening can be held without having to move the lips. That is, the opening provides a direct path for the user's fingers to pick up the sheets, which is useful when the sheets are first loaded to pull a first sheet through the lips and the supply opening.

Preferably, the supply opening is elongated and the opening is centrally located between opposite longitudinal edges of the supply opening. Preferably, the lips are shaped to provide the opening, whereby the sheet is capable of being pulled through it free from; contact of the lips which overlap on opposite sides of tissue paper and whereby on opposite sides of the opening in a direction perpendicular to the direction of removal of the sheet along a face of tissue paper, the overlapping lips make contact with opposite faces of the sheet 'as they are pulled through it.Preferably, the delivery opening is elongated and the overlying lips are configured to contact opposite sides of tissue paper as they are pulled through and located at opposite longitudinal end portions of the delivery opening and opening. defined by the overlapping lips is located centrally between opposite longitudinal end portions.

The direction of sheet removal is frequently used in this specification. It is a normal direction to the plane of the sheets in the stack. It passes centrally through the supply opening of the package, container or dispenser. The supply opening is defined by the terminal walls around its periphery. The plane on which these walls end provides another plane to which the tissue paper direction normally extends.

In the case of a package comprising a stack of absorbent tissue paper sheets, the sheets in the stack are interfolded and the package comprises a supply opening such that each successive sheet is removed from the package through the package. supply opening, a preceding sheet is pulled partially with it and in this way once the successive sheet is completely extracted through the supply opening, the parts of the successive sheet with the preceding sheet, which is adhered from the supply opening still remains as the front sheet in the stack.

Preferably, the sheets are interfolded in an interfolded pattern whereby each sheet is bent at least once so as to comprise a front panel and a back panel, and by means of which, for any given sheet in the stack, the The front and rear panels have a rear panel of a subsequent sheet and a front panel of a previous sheet placed between the panels of the given fabric in a face-to-face relationship.

Preferably, the interleaving pattern of the sheet stack and overlapping lips are configured such that as a front panel of a sheet closest to the supply opening is pulled to remove the sheet, the front panel moves through the sheet. the supply opening and overlapping lips, thus deforming the lips in an extraction direction and also where the front panel is pulled, a rear panel is in a face-to-face relationship with the front panel of a sheet adjacent preceding in the stack so that pulls the front panel of the preceding sheet through the overlapping lips and in the supply opening therewith, and where once a rear edge of the rear panel of the sheet successive is released by the overlapping lips and thus out of the supply opening, the successive sheet is released and the front panel of the preceding sheet protrudes past the overlapping lips to be pulled before the removal of the next sheet through the supply opening.

The overlapping lips and the interfolded pattern of the stack of tissue paper sheets is preferably configured such that the first of the lips is more distal to the stack of sheets than the second of the lips and so that as one sheet is pulled through the supply opening and through the overlapping lips, the overlapping lips deform in the extraction direction and the first sheet is in a partial face-to-face relationship with a preceding sheet in the stack so that pull the previous sheet with it, and where the preceding sheet is outside, adjacent to the second of the lips with the successive sheet placed between the preceding sheet and the first of the lips, and so that according to the rear edge of the successive sheet is pulled past the overlapping lips, the successive sheet is released from the container and the first of the lips falls resiliently back in the direction of extraction so that it is below the second of the lips.

In this way, the inter-folding pattern is such that the fabrics are supplied in an alternate manner between the first and second sheet extraction configurations. In a first sheet removal configuration, a successive sheet is located adjacent to the first of the overlapping lips as compared to a preceding sheet which is pulled through the lips therewith, as a result of the paper face contact of the sheet. silk to face of tissue paper, which is located adjacent to the second of the lips (in the direction of sheet removal). In the second sheet removal configuration, the successive sheet is located adjacent to the second lip and the preceding sheet is located adjacent to the first lip.

The alternation between the sheet removal configurations between each successively extracted sheet results in the overlapping lips alternating between the first and second lip configurations. The first lip configuration has the first lip more forward in the sheet removal direction compared to the second lip and occurs as a result of the sheet being removed under the second sheet removal configuration. The second lip configuration has a second lip further forward in the sheet removal direction compared to the first lip and occurs as a result of the sheet being removed under the first extraction configuration.

In a fourth aspect of the present invention, there is provided a dispenser for holding a stack of sheets of absorbent tissue paper or a package comprising a stack of absorbent tissue paper sheets, wherein the dispenser defines a supply opening and a cavity for receiving the stacking of the package, wherein the spout defines the cavity to follow a path that includes a V-shape so that an outer edge of a vertex of the V-shape extends into the supply opening so that When the stack or package is inserted into the cavity, and the stack or package is sized to fill the cavity, it must be deformed to have the shape of V or U to fit in it.

The fourth aspect of the present invention aims at stacking towards the supply opening and requires that the stack be deformed into a bent V shape. This provides a deflection so that the sheets protrude from the supply opening 'for convenient removal of the tissue paper sheet. An outer edge of the V-shape should be understood in the context of the legs of the V-shape which define a relatively narrow angle therebetween in the interior and which define an angle relatively therebetween on the outside. The V-shape may be curved at its peak, instead of being pointed.

Said in another way, the fourth aspect of the present invention provides a dispenser for holding a stack of absorbent tissue paper sheet or for attaching a package comprising a stack of sheets of absorbent tissue paper, wherein the dispenser comprises a first and second walls, the first wall is made at least partially to the first and second wall portions that are angled towards each other to define an intersection point and a second wall is made at least partially of a first and second wall. wall portions which are angled towards each other in the same manner as the first wall part, but which define a supply opening therebetween where the point of intersection is placed in a first wall part, the opening supply allows the sheets of the stack to be removed, the first and second walls are separated to provide a cavity that receives stacked between them wherein a line bisecting the angle between the first and second wall portions of the first and second walls passes through the point of intersection of the first wall and the supply opening of the second wall.

Preferably, a first line bisecting the angle between the first and second parts of the first and second walls extends through the point of intersection of the first wall and the supply opening defined by the second wall. Preferably, a line perpendicular to the first line passes through a first point in the second wall and a second point in the second wall (preferably evenly spaced from the supply opening). The point of intersection and the first and second points in this manner provide a three-point load which tends to bend or flex the stack towards the supply opening.

Preferably, the first and second walls are shaped and spaced apart to define a V-shaped cavity therebetween so that when the stack or at least one package is inserted into the cavity it must be shaped to have the V-shape and be engaged in the same .

It is considered that the packaging of tissue paper sheets and the cavity can be sized so that the package fills the cavity. It is also considered that the cavity may be larger in size so that it partially presses and a complete package fills the cavity or so that a plurality, for example two packages, may be required to fill the cavity. In this way, the dispenser can be touched in the upper part without requiring the current packaging that is being used to supply the former to be removed.

Preferably, the spout includes opposite upper and lower walls defining a thickness of the V-shape of the cavity therebetween, wherein one of the walls defines an inner edge of the V-shape and provides an inner peak of the shape in V and the other of the opposite walls defines an outer edge of the V-shape of the cavity and defines the localized supply opening where an outer edge of the V-shaped peak should otherwise be. The thickness of the V shape of the cavity determines the number of silk papers in the stack that can be received therein.

Preferably, the spout includes opposite side walls that extend between the upper and lower walls to together define a periphery of the cavity.

Preferably, the spout defines legs of the V-shape of the cavity to have an angle of between 170 ° and 100 °, 160 ° and 110 ° or 120 ° or 130 ° or 140 ° and preferably between about 150 °. It has then been found that angles such as these are optimal to provide a deflection for the sheet to protrude through the supply opening without having to be stepped in such a way as to cause the tissue paper to fall unintentionally through the tissue. the supply opening by the weight of gravity (particularly when the stack of tissue paper runs out).

Preferably, the spout defines the cavity to be elongated to receive an elongated stack of tissue paper sheets or an elongated package comprising a stack of sheets of tissue paper to have a thickness direction with which the stacking direction Stacked tissue paper sheet is aligned and a lateral direction through one side of the stack of sheets of tissue paper. The spout defines the peak of the V-shaped shape of the cavity at a central location between opposite longitudinal ends of the cavity in a manner that requires, when the stacking of the sheets is sized to fill the cavity in the stacking direction of the cavity. the sheet, the sheet stack has a fold line in a lateral direction through one side of the stack and located centrally between opposite longitudinal ends of the stack.

Preferably, the spout defines an elongated cavity for receiving an elongated stack of sheets of an elongated package comprising a stack of sheets of tissue paper wherein the spout is open on a front face for loading the stack or packing through the tissue. same in the cavity, in which the supply opening and the cavity are oriented so that there is a direction of sheet removal and a longitudinal direction of the cavity that are perpendicular to each other and perpendicular to both of these directions is a rear direction frontal.

Preferably, the spout includes the first and second walls defining the upper and lower faces of the cavity in a sheet removal direction, which is also in the direction of a first line that bisects the angle between the first and second portions of the cavity. the first and second walls. The spout includes end walls that define end faces of the cavity in a longitudinal direction of the cavity, which is a straight line extending through corresponding points in the sheet removal direction on the end walls. In a front to back direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction and the tissue paper removal direction, there is a back wall defining a rear face of the spout and an open front face of the cavity for loading purposes.

Preferably, the spout includes an opening or recess for mounting to the wall of the spout by means of a wall fastener. Preferably, the spout includes a removable wall fastener, i.e., to be fastened to a wall of a room and a recess for receiving the wall fastener, wherein the edges of the wall fastener and the recess cooperate to join the spout to its wall fastener and wherein the edges are bifurcated so that the other edge can be received at the bifurcation in a slidable manner.

In a fifth aspect of the present invention there is provided a spout system and a package comprising a stack of absorbent tissue paper sheets as defined above with respect to the first or fourth aspects of the present invention. The dispenser has a housing defining a cavity for receiving the package and a supply opening, wherein the housing defines the cavity so as to hold the package in an open configuration and wherein the package is in a fixed form and the opening of the package. The packaging supply is aligned with the dispensing opening of the dispenser so that the user can remove a sheet from the stack through the supply openings.

Preferably, the packaging supply opening is opened around a hinge portion of the package and the dispenser holds the open package in a configuration so that the delivery opening passes through 10 ° to 80 ° around the hinge portion, ° at 70 °, 20 ° at 60 °, 25 ° at 50 ° or 40 °, 25 ° at 35 ° and preferably about 30 °. When the packaging supply opening is in the closed configuration, the package opens around the hinge portion. If the opening angle is too large, the interfolding of the sheets in the stack can be undone.

Preferably, the package has a hinge portion as described above and the dispenser housing defines a cavity path to include a V-shape so that the hinge portion of the package is located at a peak of an inner edge of the container. the V shape of the cavity. Preferably, the spout supply opening is located in a position where the outer edge of a peak of the V-shape of the cavity would otherwise have been. Preferably the spout is as described in the above with respect to the fifth aspect of the present invention. The packing of the sheets preferably is a packing of leaves and the cavity is to be loaded with the packing of filling.

In a sixth aspect of the present invention, a stack of interfolded absorbent tissue paper sheets is provided. The inter-folded pattern is such that each sheet is bent at least once to provide front and rear panels with respect to a direction of removal of tissue paper in the stacking direction. The interdeck pattern is such that for any given tissue paper in the stack, a back panel of a subsequent adjacent tissue paper in the stack in the direction of tissue removal is in a face-to-face, overlapping relationship with a front panel of a given sheet and a back panel of a preceding sheet adjacent in the stack in the sheet removal direction that is in a face-to-face overlap relationship, wherein the back panel of a given sheet, such as the rear panel of the subsequent sheet and the front panel of the preceding sheet are placed between panels of a given sheet, wherein the superposition of a given sheet with the rear panel of the subsequent sheet and the front panel of the preceding sheet is a partial overlap to provide a region of overlap of the given sheet wherein the front and rear panels of the given sheet overlap with the front panel of the preceding sheet and the p The backsheet of the subsequent sheet and a region without overlap of the given sheet wherein the front and rear panels of the sheet extend beyond the overlapping faces to a "fold" portion, whereby a stack comprising a region is defined. of overlap wherein the adjacent sheets in the stack overlap and regions without overlapping the stack on opposite sides of the overlay region where adjacent sheets of the stack do not overlap.

The regions of overlap and no overlap of the stack lengthen the stack in a first direction of the stack from the region without overlap to the region with overlap and to the region without overlap, where the first direction is perpendicular to the direction of sheet removal. This elongation may be desirable in certain stacking applications and is obtained by an inter-folding distribution. In addition, the weight of the stack is shifted into the region of overlap which can provide improved delivery when the overlap region is aligned with a dispensing opening of a spout or a stacking package.

The sheets may include multiple folds, so that the panel further forward and the panel further back of the sheet in the direction of sheet removal are respectively the front and rear panels. Preferably, however, the sheets are sheets of two panels of a single fold.

Preferably, a length ratio of the overlap region of the stack in the first direction to a stack length in the first direction (which is an inverse relationship of length of regions that do not overlap with respect to a stack length) it is in the range of 0.10 to 0.90, 0.15 to 0.75, 0.2 to 0.6 and more preferably in the range of 0.25 to 0.50. These intervals provide sufficient overlap of the sheets for the extraction of a sheet and for pulling the preceding tissue paper out from the stack by means of the face-to-face interaction of the sheets while the overlap is not so great as to nullify the effects of elongation and centering by weight. The greater the degree of overlap, the smaller the air in the package, which is contained mainly in the region without overlap.

Preferably, the sheets are elongated and the region of overlap extends laterally through the sheets from one side of the sheet to the other. Preferably, the front panel and the rear panel are connected by a fold line. Preferably, the tissue paper is elongated and the fold line extends laterally through the tissue paper.

The panels of any given sheet in the stack can be connected by a fold line. The panels may be connected by a line of perforations or another weakening line to allow the panel to tear away from its adjacent panel. The sheets can be folded into the line of weakness so that the fold line constitutes the line of weakening.

In a preferred embodiment, sheet stacking is provided as a sheet pack as defined above with respect to the first to sixth aspects of the present invention. The stack of sheets may also be provided in a container or dispenser as described above with respect to the third and fourth aspects of the present invention.

The combination of the sheet stack defined according to the sixth aspect of the invention and the package comprising a stack of sheets and lips that are superimposed for a supply opening according to the third aspect of the invention provide a functional complex that can be be particularly useful The region of overlap tends to counteract the supply opening of the package if it is oriented so that gravity is aligned with the direction of removal of the sheets of paper. Overlaying lips in this manner are particularly important to prevent the tissue paper from falling through the supply opening.

In a generally applicable feature, the package or dispenser preferably has a supply opening that is substantially the same width or greater than that of the sheets with respect to a direction along the face of the sheets perpendicular to the direction of extraction so that a sheet is scaled from the stack through the supply opening and optionally through the overlapping lips, the opposite lateral edges in the width direction of the sheet are able to maintain their lateral separation. In the prior art, the supply openings, particularly the lips for holding the tissue paper in a protruding state of a tissue paper box tend to wrinkle the tissue wide in a very viper-like configuration. The overlapping lips are configured such that a pitch between them is sized so as to allow the sheet to pass through them with lateral restriction. One advantage of a roll of tissue paper is that it does not need to be wrinkled to be supplied. The package or spout of the present invention is capable of providing a stack of sheets that do not wrinkle when supplied.

In a seventh aspect of the present invention there is provided a wet sheet or a tissue paper sheet dispenser, the wet sheet dispenser comprises a receptacle housing for receiving a stack of wet sheets, the receptacle housing comprises a supply opening through which a sheet can be removed from the stack, the receptacle housing is configured to maintain the moisture of the sheets, the dispenser comprises a lid having an 'open position to access the supply opening so that the The sheet can be removed from the stack through the supply opening and a closed position covering the supply opening, wherein the lid defines the periphery and the receptacle defines a periphery and the peripheries of the lid and the receptacle coincide when the lid is in the closed position.

Preferably, the wet sheets include nonwoven sheet material. They can be made from non-woven fibers such as papermaking fibers that include polymer fibers to a greater degree. The wet leaves can be a combination of non-woven and woven sheets. In the following, moist leaves will often be referred to as non-woven leaves, but this should not be considered as a limitation.

In prior art wet leaf dispensers, the receptacle has a lid and? the lid of the receptacle includes a supply opening and a cover for the supply opening.1 The cover for the supply opening is provided in a central region of the lid of the receptacle and is pivotally mounted therein. The configuration of two parts of the lid of the receptacle results in a joint between the two parts that tends to accumulate dust and other debris. Cleaning the bonding area after sustained use has proven difficult. The construction of a part also allows the supply opening cover to be relatively large, which can facilitate the opening of the cover for less skilled users.

The present invention provides a cover for the receptacle and a cover for the supply opening which is a part and therefore avoids the presence of a junction that accumulates waste. Preferably, an upper surface of the lid (the surface opposite the lower side surface of the supply opening) is continuous for ease of cleaning by rubbing in comparison to, a top surface having a discontinuity as in the construction of two parts in the prior art.

In order to allow loading with a wet leaf filling, the receptacle is configured to be loadable from the bottom. The lower part provides an opposite face of the spout to the lid and the closed configuration. Preferably, the spout includes a removable bottom portion for loading wet sheets into the receptacle. The lower part has vertical side walls which adjust by friction with the side walls of the housing in order to secure the separable bottom of the receptacle housing. This loading configuration from the bottom is a feature applicable independently of the present invention as indicated below in the eighth aspect of the present invention.

Charging from the bottom of the dispenser means that the lid is not required to have two functions of enabling a receptacle to be loaded and enabling a supply opening to be covered. Accordingly, the lid can be made as a one-part device, as provided in the seventh aspect of the present invention. The removable construction of the lower part and its friction coupling mechanism for securing it to the receptacle is advantageous in terms of manufacture, as compared to the hinge distributions and also in terms of ease of sheet loading procedure. In the . prior art wet leaf dispensers as described in the foregoing, the lid is rotated away from the receptacle by means of a hinge to load the stack of wet sheets and the cover must be pivoted away from the lid around another hinge to thread a sheet of tissue paper through the supply opening and then both lids are closed. This is a relatively uncomfortable operation that can be difficult to perform, particularly for older users. In the lower loading arrangement of the present invention, a hinge is not necessary, since the lower part is separable and mountable by friction coupling. In addition, loading from the bottom allows threading of the sheets through the dispensing opening and moving the stack into the receptacle to be carried out in the same direction.

Preferably, the side walls of the lower part are part of a vertical platform on which the stack of wet sheets is to be placed. A platform surface on which the stack is to be laid defines the lower part of the receptacle. The lower part may define a non-planar surface on which the spout rests, wherein the non-planar part is to be understood with respect to the flat upper surface of the vertical platform and the surface of the cap when in its closed configuration which is parallel to the upper surface of the platform. Thus, in one embodiment, the lower part defines a V-shaped bottom surface for the spout to bear, which is capable of coinciding with a V-shaped upper surface as described with respect to the paper spout Silk of the fourth and fifth aspects of the present invention. Alternatively, the lower part can define a frame so that it is placed on a circular bath paper roll dispenser. In both cases, the point is that the interleaving system of the dry tissue paper and the wet sheets can be provided so that a space surface for the wet sheet dispenser is not required, so that space is saved.

In a preferred additional embodiment, a center of gravity of the spout is located within the lower part. This feature provides stability to the spout of wet non-woven sheets and a feeling of permanence that is not present in the prior art dispensers.

Preferably, the lower part is made of rubber or a rubber-like material. The rubber material provides good elastic properties for frictional engagement with the receptacle and also stabilizes the spout with respect to the surface on which it rests.

Preferably, the receptacle housing comprises a platform having the spout opening located, preferably centrally 1 therein.

P The platform has dependent side walls defining a periphery of the receptacle while the platform defines the upper part of the receptacle.

Preferably, the periphery of the receptacle has a vertical flange for mating engagement with a flange depending on the periphery of the cap. Preferably, the flanges seal together so that there is a moisture seal between the cap and the receptacle. Preferably, the vertical flange is formed around the periphery of the platform.

Preferably, there is a moisture seal between the lid and the receptacle when the lid is in the closed position.

Preferably, the supply opening is provided with a deformable member defining a relatively restricted path for the sheet. tissue paper compared to the supply opening. The deformable member has an opening to define the path for the tissue paper through the supply opening while the tissue paper is compressed: as it passes through it.

The lower part of the eighth aspect of the present invention may include preferred features associated with the lower part as described above with respect to the seventh of the present invention.

Preferably, the seventh and eighth aspects of the invention provide a wet leaf spout comprising the wet sheet stack, which is located in the receptacle.

In a ninth aspect of the present invention, there is provided a system comprising a dry tissue paper dispenser having a supply opening through which sheets of dried tissue paper and a wet sheet dispenser can be extracted comprising a spout opening through which wet sheets can be removed, wherein one of the dry tissue paper dispenser and the wet sheet spout is configured to be placed on top of the other so that the supply openings are oriented in directions opposing in a combined configuration whereby opposite wet and dry extraction directions are defined and wherein the dry and wet leaf jets have cooperating boundary surfaces when in the combined configuration resisting lateral movement of the wet leaf jet with respect to the jet of dry tissue paper in a direction perpendicular to the direction of extraction of sheets from the assortment r of dry tissue paper and wet leaf spout, while allowing the spout to be placed one on top of the other to move in one direction from the other spout supply opening to its supply opening.

The cooperating boundary surfaces are preferably in the form of male and female cooperating surfaces. The surfaces, preferably, substantially define a complete lower or upper face of the respective spout.

Preferably, the dry tissue paper dispenser includes a recess or hole for receiving a wall fastener thereon for holding the dry tissue paper dispenser or the wall of a room. The lateral direction is' perpendicular to a normal line to the wall of the room and to the direction of leaf removal for the wet and dry leaf fountains.

In this way, a double wet and dry sheet supply system is provided. The system has one of the dispenser mounted on top of the other, which saves space and material and is also convenient in terms of access to both types of tissue paper. In the prior art there is no space designed for a wet non-woven sheet dispenser that is supplied in comparison, for example, with conventional bath tissue paper roll holders.

The cooperating boundary surfaces are preferably in the form of the underside of the wet foil spout which coincides with the upper face of the dry tissue foil spout. Preferably, the cooperating boundary surfaces are in the form of a bottom face defining a V-shaped shape dependent through substantially all of the extension from one side of the bottom of the wet sheet spout to an opposite side thereof, wherein the spout of dry tissue paper has a top surface that defines a matching V-shaped recess.; Preferably, the cooperating boundary surfaces extend in the direction of extracting tissue paper from the wet and dry silk paper fountains at an angle therewith or parallel thereto in order to resist relative movement between the jets in the first direction and even so cooperating boundary surfaces that do not resist the placement of the spout on top of the other one that has been folded in its direction of extraction of tissue paper.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED MODALITIES OF THE INVENTION The improved absorbent tissue paper delivery systems are provided by the present invention in its various aspects.

A package of tissue papers that can be ruptured by holding opposite longitudinal ends of the package and applying relative strength to a rear side of a perforation line centrally placed between the longitudinal ends and which extends laterally is provided. The perforation line extends around at least three sides of the package so that at least a part of a fourth side provides a hinge portion that connects the longitudinal halves of the package by joining them and thus allows the perforation line , rotate one to close the package and to move apart to open the package in a rotational movement around the 'hinge. In a closed configuration, the package is block-shaped. In an open configuration, the gasket is rubbed into a V shape in a side view in wherein the opposed longitudinal halves and the hinge portion provide an inner V-shaped edge and lower surfaces of the opposed longitudinal halves provide a V-shaped outer edge in combination with a portion of the package opposite the hinge that has been separated when dispersing, separating opposite edges of the perforation line. The open perforation line shows a stack of tissue papers included in the package. A silk sheet can be removed from the stack and packing through a supply opening provided by the perforation line open on the side opposite the hinge portion.

In the open package configuration, a lower side of the perforation line extends between opposite sides of the perforation line. Opposite sides of the perforation line respectively connect opposite ends of the underside of the perforation line to the articulation portion. In the open configuration, the sides of the perforation line become more spread apart to the underside of the perforation line. A stack of tissue papers is distributed in the package so that a pull tab portion of the tissue paper most proximal to the bottom lip of the perforation line extends through the underside of the perforation line. The lower lip of the perforation line in this manner provides a supply opening through which silk papers can be extracted in the stack.

The opening in the supply has a first and second opposite lip members positioned on the respective side of the supply opening, which are superimposed on each other so as to cover the tissue paper facing the supply opening in the whole except the central opening through the superposed lip members through which a pull tab portion of a tissue paper in the most proximal stack in the delivery opening can be held by a user. The first and second overlapping lip members can move one in relation to the other. Respectively they are attached to opposite halves of the package so that one half of the package moves relative to the other half of the package around the hinge portion, the overlapping lip members move with one in relation to the other. In the open configuration of the package and in the closed configuration, the lips overlap. As tissue is removed from the stack and through the supply opening, the overlying lip members deform in a less overlapping configuration so as to facilitate passage of the tissue paper from between the lip members in the direction of removal of the tissue. silk paper.

The package includes at least one cover member to cover the tissue paper that rebels through the packaging in accordance with at least one of the side perforations is opened. The supply opening shows one side of the stack of tissue papers when in the open configuration, while the side perforation shows the tissue paper layer in the stack direction when it is in the open configuration: The cover is transparent in a transparent manner. which allows a level of the tissue papers in the package to be observed so that the user acquires an idea of how close the package is to emptying.

The silk papers in the stack in the package are interfolded so that each tissue paper in the stack is partially overlaid with a preceding tissue paper in the stack so that the preceding tissue paper is partially pulled through the opening. of supply and overlapping lips as a result of the partial overlap face to face of each tissue paper with a preceding tissue paper. The preceding tissue paper portion that is in overlapping relationship with a tissue paper that has been removed from the stack through the supply opening and the overlapping lips thereby removed by adhesion through the labia that is they overlap according to a tissue paper that will then be held by a user. The interfolding pattern is such that when a first tissue paper is pulled out through the lips that overlap the next, second, tissue paper will be on a side face to the left, for example, of the first tissue paper and the tissue paper after that, the third tissue paper, will be extracted on the lateral side of the right hand, for example, from the second tissue paper. This alternation of sides with respect to the tissue paper being pulled to the outside in which the overlapping portion is produced results in the first and second lip members alternating with respect to which of the first and second lip members is more toward front in the direction of removal of tissue paper compared to the other.

The packaging of tissue papers is self-sustaining insofar as the open configuration can be held, even with the gravity weight of the hinge portion. This allows the supply opening to be located at the top up for placement on a back cover for silk papers to be extracted therefrom, in a style familiar to those known from the conventional facial silk paper box. The package can also be used in an inverted head configuration so that the supply opening is oriented downward. In this latter configuration, the present invention contemplates a dispenser that is mountable to the wall and that has a cavity to maintain the open package configuration. When the open configuration of the gasket is V-shaped as previously described, the spout cavity is correspondingly V-shaped, so that the walls defining the cavity are sized so as to receive the coupling package eri open configuration. The shape of the cavity as defined by the spout prevents the package from moving backward to a closed configuration conformed to a block and thus keeps the package in the open configuration. The spout has a supply opening, on a lower surface thereof for alignment with the packing supply opening so that the tissue papers Í can be removed through the supply opening i and the lips of the packing overlap, and through the dispensing opening of the spout. The spout can have a structure of relatively low complexity insofar as it consists of a rear wall for mounting against a wall of a room and a side wall projecting therefrom which extends around the cavity in a continuous manner from one side of the supply opening, around each side of the cavity defining a V-shape on the other side of the supply opening.

A spout as described above has a V-shaped recess defined by a top surface of the side wall, wherein the top surface is opposite a bottom surface of the side wall that includes the centrally located supply opening. between opposite longitudinal ends of the cavity defined by the side wall. The V-shaped recess is shaped so as to receive the V-shape dependent on a lower part of a wet non-woven spout. Consequently, the upper surface of the dry tissue paper dispenser provides a space specially designed for a dispenser of wet non-woven sheets.

The wet nonwoven material dispenser has a lower part defining a lower V-shaped dependent surface for cooperating and limiting with the V-shaped upper surface of the dry tissue spout. The wet non-woven sheet dispenser includes a receptacle for receiving a package of wet non-woven sheets or a stack of wet non-woven sheets and a lid that is hinge mounted to the receptacle housing. The hinge allows the lid to be opened so as to show a supply opening of the receptacle housing through which wet nonwoven sheets can be supplied. The hinge also allows the lid to be closed so as to seal with the receptacle housing to prevent moisture from the tissue paper sheets from escaping from the wet nonwoven sheet dispenser. A periphery of the lid is mounted with a periphery of the receptacle housing so as to have a continuous, easy to clean top surface of the wet non-woven sheet dispenser. A lower portion of the wet non-woven sheet spout, which includes the dependent V-shape, is removable and can be reassembled by friction engagement to the receptacle housing. The lower part includes a vertical platform which engages with side walls of the housing in a frictional engagement manner and also provides a uniform surface on which the stacking or packing of the wet non-woven sheets rests. In this way, the platform provides a lower surface of the receptacle housing which separably matches the side walls of the housing. The housing of the receptacle also includes an upper surface having a supply opening centrally located therein, the side walls of the receptacle housing defining the periphery of the receptacle housing which sealingly coincide with the periphery of the hinged lid.

Various components of the improved tissue paper system indicated in the above will now be described in greater detail with respect to the figures.

Figures 1 (a) to 1 (d) show a package comprising a stack of tissue papers according to one embodiment of the present invention. The package 1 has an open configuration as shown in Figure 1 (a) and Figure 1 (c) and a closed configuration, as shown in Figure 1 (b). In the closed configuration, the package 1 is generally block-shaped. The gasket 1 has first and second main faces that are provided by respective upper and lower face walls 2, 3 of the container. At opposite longitudinal ends of the gasket 1 there are end face walls 4, 5 which are smaller faces of the gasket 1. The gasket 1 further comprises rear and front face walls 6, 7 which are intermediate in area size between the faces upper and lower major 2, 3 and the lower end faces 4, 5.

The package 1 comprises a perforation line 8 extending through the rear and front face wall 6, 7 and the lower face wall 3 of the package 1. The perforation line 8 is centrally located between opposite ends 4, 5 of the package 1 and extends perpendicularly to a longitudinal direction of the package 1. The upper face wall 2 of the package 1 comprises a joint 9 connecting the end of the perforation line in the front face wall 7 and the other end of the the perforation line 8 in the rear face wall 6 of the package 1.

The package 1 is filled with a stack of inter-folded silk papers 10. In a closed configuration of the package 1, the stacking of the tissues 10! interfolded is completely covered by packing 1.

In an open configuration of the package 1, the perforation line 8 breaks apart and the opposite halves, in the longitudinal direction, of the package 1 are connected and are rotatable around the hinge 9. The open configuration of the package 1 can be observed in Figures 1 (a) and 1 (c) while the closed configuration of the package 1 can be seen in Figure 1 (b). In the open configuration a separation between opposite parts of the lower face wall 3, which are separated as a result of the perforation line 8 break and provide a supply opening 11 through which tissue paper can be extracted from the tissue. stacked 10. The walls of the rear and front faces 6, 7 of the gasket 1 also have respective parts that are separated from each other around the hinge 9 in the open configuration of the gasket 1. The separation between the front and rear face portions they are reduced until disappearing in the hinge 9 at the upper edge 1 of the rear and front face walls 6, 7 and at their widest part at the lower edge of the rear and front face walls 6, 7 in the open configuration of the packaging 1 The rear and front face walls 6, 7 and the end face walls 4, 5 define a thickness of the gasket 1 connecting the upper and lower faces 2, 3. The number of silk papers that can be stacked and coupled inside of the package 1 is determined by the thickness of the package 1, that is, it defines the direction of stacking absorbent tissue paper. The silk papers in the stack 10 and the stack 10 itself are elongated and the silk papers and the stack 10 are aligned longitudinally with the longitudinal direction of the package 1 when the package is in the closed configuration. The distance between the end face walls 4, 5, as defined by the rear and front face walls 6, 7 and the upper and lower face walls 2, 3 determine the longitudinal extent of the stack 10. An interfolding pattern of the silk papers in the stack 10 such that the pulling of the end of a tissue paper, which is the laterally extending edge of the tissue paper, is located in the opening 11 of the supply of the package 1. The thickness direction of the package 1 is sized to be convenient to be held by the hands of a user at opposite longitudinal ends of the package 1. The usual dimensions of the thickness direction of the package 1 are 5-10 cm, preferably about 7 cm. cm.

To use the package, a user holds opposite longitudinal ends of the package 1 so that the fingers and thumbs are placed in contact with the upper and lower face walls 2, 3 of the package 1 and part of the palms are in contact with the walls of the package. respective end face 4, 5. With the gasket 1 fastened in this manner, the user flexes the gasket in a manner that provides a rotational force around the "hinge 9" which tends to pull the perforation line 8 away from it. 8 in this way is broken to show a stack of tissue papers 10 and the stacking direction when observing through the separation made by the perforation line 8 broken in the front or rear face wall 6, 7 and to show a plane of a tissue paper side further forward when it is seen through the separation between opposite parts of the lower face 3, separation which provides the supply opening 11. It can be removing a tissue paper from the stack 10 through the supply opening 11.

When the package 1 is first opened, the tissue forward further in the stack 10 in relation to the supply opening 11 is designed to have an edge portion projecting through the supply opening 11. This edge portion of the tissue paper can be pulled when a tissue paper is removed from the stack 10 through the supply opening 11. The pattern of interleaving of the silk papers of the stack 10 is such that as a tissue paper is pulled through the supply opening 11, the subsequent tissue paper is partially pulled through the supply opening 11 so that protrudes through the supply opening 11 to provide a subsequent end edge of "a tissue paper for removal of the stack 10.

The package 1 can be resealed by rotating the partially separated parts (connected only by the hinge 9) around the hinge 9 to rejoin the weakening line 8. To supply an additional tissue paper of the stack 10, the packing it can be reopened by rotation around the hinge 9.

The experts in the field may consider various modifications to the specific modalities of the packaging 1 shown in Figures 1 (a) to 1 (d).

For example, various modifications can be made to the exact shape of the package 1 shown in Figures 1 (a) to 1 (d). For functional reasons it has been preferred that the package 1 be elongated and that the perforation line 8 and the hinge 9 be provided at a central location between longitudinal ends of the package 1. In this manner, a turning moment around the hinge 9 is it can be used to generate an easy sensation of rupture of the perforation line 8. It is also desirable that the longitudinal ends of the package 1 be conveniently held by a user in order to apply the perforation line 8 with a breaking force. In this way, the thickness of the opposite longitudinal end portions of the gasket 1 in the direction of the hinge 9 to the supply opening 11 must be conveniently and, accordingly, of the order of the dimensions of a separation capable of being made between the fingers and thumbs opposed by an average human adult.

In Figures 1 (a) to 1 (d), a line of weakness is provided in the form of a perforation line 8. Experts in the field may contemplate alternatives such as a line of weakness in the form of a passing cut. only partially through the thickness of the packing wall and therefore not reaching the inside of the package 1. That is, the line of weakness can be a fold line. The perforation line 8 can be processed in numerous ways. The perforation line 8 can be continuously extended by means of alternate cutting and perforating portions through the front face 7, the lower face 5 and the rear face 6. Alternatively, the front face 7, the lower face 3 and the rear face 6 can be divided by a cutting line that extends mostly around, separating from some small connecting tab portions that are broken by flexing of the package 1.

The silk papers in the stack 10 of the package 1 are described to be interfolded. However, the stack 10 can be made from a continuous strip of tissue paper folded into a stacked distribution that fills the package 1 and where the adjacent sheets are connected by weakening lines instead of a face-to-face interdependent distribution that is superimpose, the important thing is that the extra-stacked tissue paper, instead of wound around a central core.

The gasket 1 has been described as having upper and lower face walls 2, 3 which suggests that the supply opening 11 is oriented downward when used. In a considered use this is correct. However, the package 1, also configured to be inclined upwards so that the supply opening 11 is oriented upwards. The package 1 is configured to operate in this manner where the hinge 9 does not collapse under the weight of the stack 10 when the supply opening 11 is oriented upwards. That is, the package 1 is sufficiently rigid to keep the configuration open, no matter in what orientation the package is placed 1. The package 1 is closed by a user by forcing the closure by rotation around the hinge 9.

The hinge 9 in the packaging 1 forms a fold line connecting opposite ends of the weakening line or the perforation line 8. The packing 1, as described above, is designed to rotate around the hinge 9 in the opening and closing the package 1. The hinge 9 can define a fold line as a result of its use for the first time, or the fold line can be prefabricated in the package 1 for example by a wedge technique or the like.

The package 1 can have a tear strip defined by a pair of separate weakening lines. When a tab of the tear strip is pulled, the weakening lines are torn apart to provide a torn and separated strip. When the tear strip is completely removed, the weakening lines are broken and the package is capable of being manipulated from a relatively closed configuration to a relatively open configuration by rotation around the hinge. In this way / the pair of weakening lines defining opposite sides of the tear strip preferably extend around the greater of a lateral periphery of the package in the same manner as the weakening line of the open rupture type described above.

Figures 2 (a) to 2 (d) show various views of a dispenser for holding a package of 1 tissue papers. The spout 20 is mountable to the wall, as will be described in the following with respect to Figures 3 (a) and 3 (b). The spout 20 has a peripheral wall 21 which extends in a direction normal to the rear face wall 22. The peripheral wall 21 and the rear face wall 22 together define a cavity 23 for receiving a package 1 of tissue papers therein wherein the package 1 is as described above. A front face of the dispenser 20 is opened in order to allow the packing 1 to be loaded into the cavity 23. The rear face 22 is mounted on the wall of a room, as will be described in greater detail with respect to FIGS. (a) and 3 (b).

The peripheral wall 21 extends continuously around the cavity 23 and around a periphery of the rear face wall 22 except so as to define a spacing in the peripheral wall 21 which provides a supply opening 24 through which it is provided. it can extract tissue paper from a packing supply opening from a package as described above. The peripheral wall 21 of the spout defines a V-shaped form in which a portion of the upper part 25 and a lower wall portion 26 of the peripheral wall 21 respectively follow V-shaped paths. The shape V of the lower wall portion 26 of FIG. the peripheral wall 21 can be constructed by forming an image of the lower wall portion 26 that does not define a supply opening 24 and instead continue to intercept. The V-shaped bottom wall portion 26 and the V-shaped top wall portion 25 of the peripheral wall 21 are separated by end wall portions 27., 28 of the peripheral wall 21, which defines a thickness dimension for the V-shape of the cavity 23.

The peripheral wall 21 of the spout 20 is designed to closely match the respective upper and lower face walls 2"3 and the end face walls 4, 5 of the package 1, when the package 1 is in the open configuration. Further, in a depth direction of the spout 20, which is from the rear wall 23 to the open end face, the spout is designed to coincide with a corresponding depth of the package 1 so that when the package 1 is inserted into the the dispenser 20, a front face 7 of the packaging 1 is in the same plane as the front end of the peripheral wall 21.

An angle α between the legs of the V-shape of the cavity 23 is preferably in an interval d'e 130 ° -160 ° and preferably approximately 150 °. An angle ß is defined as shown in Figure 1 (c), which is the angle traversed by the supply opening 11 compared to a closed configuration 0o of the supply opening 11. The angle ß of the supply opening 11 around the hinge 9 is preferably in the range of 20 ° -50 °. The shape of the spout 20 determines the opening angle of the gasket 1 by retaining the gasket 1 opened at that angle β in the open configuration.

The package 1 is designed to be flexible so that it can be flexed for a user to open it by breaking the perforation line 8 to open the package 1. The dispenser 20 is a more rigid, relatively non-flexible or flexible structure that is capable of of better supporting the open configuration of the package 1 and which is capable of being mounted on a wall of a room in the rear wall 22 of the spout 20 and supporting the loading of the package 1 therein without deforming under the load. The dispenser 20 can be made of relatively thick plastic or molded metal. The packaging can be made of a plastic film, cardboard or paper.

The use of the package 1 can be opened by breaking for the first time as described in the above to place it in the open configuration. The open package can then be inserted into the dispenser through the open front face. Alternatively, handling the package in the cavity 23 will tend to pull the perforation line 8 apart so as to open the package 1. As the package is pushed into the cavity 22 of the spout 20, a vertex of the V shape of the upper wall portion 25 of the peripheral wall 21 provides a first pressure point against the hinge 9 of the gasket 1. The bottom wall portion 16 of the peripheral wall 21 provides a second and third pressure points on both sides of the wall. opening 24 for dispensing the dispenser 20 against the lower wall side 3 on either side of the perforation line 8. In this way a three-point charge is applied to the package 1, which will be opened by breaking through the perforation line 8 so that the package 1 is opened. The package 1 can be pushed completely into the spout 20, as shown in FIG. 2 (c) and in figure 2 (d) so that the peripheral wall 21 is in slidable relation with the upper and lower faces 2, 3 and the end faces 4, 5 of the packaging 1. The packing 1 can sliding back to a rear wall 22 of the spout 20 comes into contact and remains in the same plane against the rear wall 9 of the package 1.

The gasket 1 is held by the spout 20 in an open configuration as shown in 2 (d). The supply opening 11 of the package 1 is aligned with the dispensing opening 24 of the dispenser 20: so that the tissue paper passes through the supply opening 11 of the package 1 and through the opening: 24 supplying the dispenser 20 when a tissue paper is removed from the stack of tissue papers 10 in the package 1. The angle defined by the cavity 23 defines an angle of the open configuration of the package 1 due to the closed conformation between the upper face walls and lower 2 and 3 and the face walls 4, 5 of the package 1 and the peripheral wall 21 of the spout 20. The open V-shaped configuration of the package 1, at an angle between the legs which is in accordance with the ranges indicated above, which are such that , provides a supply opening 11 of sufficient size for the package 1, although the angle is not too large i so that the weight of the silk papers in the stack 10 tends to pull the stack through the supply opening 11 without a user pull a tissue paper from the stack.

Various modifications can be made to the dispenser 20 according to what is described above. For example, the dispenser 20 can be filled by a stack of tissue papers that are not provided in the form of a package. Such a stack of tissue papers would be interfolded or folded so that the pulling of the end of each tissue paper occurs in the place of the longitudinal central supply opening 24. In this case, the dispenser 20 itself forms a package for a stack of tissue papers, the delivery opening 24 may be more restricted than what is shown in Figure 2 (a) in order to prevent stacking of tissue papers fall unintentionally through the supply opening 24.

Figures 3 (a) and 3 (b) show a wall mounting means for mounting the spout as described above with respect to Figures 2 (a) to 2 (d) on a wall of a room . In Figure 3 (a) and 3 (b), a wall of a room with tiles is shown for illustrative purposes. The spout 20 has a recess 30 which is provided in a rear wall 22 of the spout 20. The recess 30 in the rear wall is a continuation of the supply opening 24 which is provided in the peripheral wall 21 which extends in a normal direction to the back wall 22. The recess 30 is open at a lower edge so that the spout 20 can be moved with respect to a retaining member 31 already fastened to the wall of a room to receive the holding member 31 in the recess 30.

The fastening member 31 is similar to plate and has a peripheral edge defining a thickness direction of the plate that bifurcates so as to provide opposite lips 33, 34 having a recess therebetween. The opposing lips 33, 34 have a size such that when the clamping member 31 is received in the recess 30 of the spout 20, the opposing lips 33, 34 engage on opposite faces of the rear wall 22 of the spout 20. In other words , the recess 32 of the fastening member 31 receives an edge of the recess 30 and the rear wall 22 when the spout 20 is mounted on the fastening member 31. The fastening member 31 can be attached to the wall of the room using an adhesive or other means such as screws.

To mount the spout 20 on the wall of a room, the fastening member 31 adheres to the wall of the room. The spout 20 is positioned above the clamping member 31 and slides downwardly so that an edge, in the thickness direction of the recess 30 of the spout 20 is received in the recess 32 of the clamping member 31 so that the lips 33, 34 make contact with the opposite faces of the rear wall 22 of the spout 20. The recess 32 of the fastening member 31 extends around the three sides of the fastening member 31 which includes an upper side portion and side portions that are they extend in a manner dependent thereon so as to receive correspondingly the upper and lateral portions of the edge of the recess 30 of the spout 20 in the recess 32 of the fastening member 31. In this way, the spout 20 is secured to the fastening member 31 and therefore to the wall of the room in a direction normal to the room wall in the left, right and down directions, as one faces the wall of the room. the room and the spout 20. The spout 20 is only capable of being disassembled from the fastening member 31 and therefore from the wall of the room by moving it in an opposite direction to which the spout 20 has slid on the member 31 of clamping during assembly. That is, to remove the spout 20 from the wall of a room and the fastening member 31, the spout 20 must move in an upward direction until an edge of the recess 30 is brought into contact and out of place between it. , the first and second lips 33, 34 of the holding member 31. In this way, the fastening member 31 allows the dispenser 20 to move to a released configuration so that it is out of contact with the fastening member 31 which may prove useful for purposes of loading and cleaning tissue paper.

Modifications to the specific embodiment shown in Figures 3 (a) and 3 (b) can be made to enable the fastener 20 to be mounted to a wall of a room. For example, the fastening member 31 or actually the dispenser 20 may have suction cups for securing them to the wall of the room. Alternatively, a retaining member mounted on the wall of a room and the spout can have a magnetic co-operation to hold them together. In another example, the dispenser 20 can be set directly to > the wall of a room by means of screw receiving holes through which screws are drilled in the wall of the room to hold the spout 20, against the wall of the room. In another possibility, the spout 20 can define at least one channel having an elongated opening through the rear wall 22 of the spout 20. The enlarged opening of the channel is sized to allow an enlarged head of the protruding clamping member from the wall of the room enter in it. The spout 20 can be moved relative to the clamping member 31 so that the enlarged head of the clamping member slides within the channel to a position where the clamping member 31 can not pass out of the channel in a direction normal to the wall of the room and preferably also in the left and right directions as a user is directed to the dispenser 20 and 'to the wall of the room. In order to remove the spout 20 from the fastening member 31 of such a configuration, the pleasing head must move through the channel unit until it reaches the enlarged opening when the spout 20 can move in a direction normal to the wall of the spout. room to separate from the wall of the room and the fastening member 31.

However, it is preferred that the fastening member 31 and the spout 20 are mounted to each other by sliding the spout 20 from a displaced position of the fastening member 31 to an overlapping position of the fastening member 31 where they cooperate so as to the movement of the spout 20 in relation to the clamping member 31 is prevented in a direction normal to the wall / plane of the room of the clamping member and / or where relative movements are only possible in a direction opposite to the initial direction. from the slidable mounting of the spout 20 to the fastening member 31.

Figures 4 (a), Figure 4 (b) and Figure 4 (c) show various views of a package comprising a stack of tissue papers according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. The package 1 is substantially as described above with reference to Figures 1 (a) to 1 (d) in that it can be opened and closed by an opening break of a perforation line 8 as the package 1 is flexed. in a rotational direction about the perforation line 8. The package 1 of Figure 4 (a) to Figure 4 (c) further comprises lip members 40, 41 which overlap when the package 1 is in the open configuration, as shown in Figure 4 (a) and 4. (c). The overlap is in the direction of tissue paper extraction where the tissue paper removal line 42 passes through both the first and second lips. The tissue paper removal direction line is a line passing through the center of the supply opening where the center is understood as the center between the opposite parts of the package 1 in the direction in which they move away from the center. advancing from the closed configuration to the open configuration of the package 1. Otherwise, the first lip member 40 has a larger face that is in face-to-face relationship with a larger face of the second lip member 41 in an overlay portion of the lip. first and second lip members 40, 41.

The first and second members of lip 4041 are flexible insofar as they are capable of flexing downward in the direction of removal of tissue paper 42 and as they do so, the first and second lip members 40, 41 move apart in a ratio of no overlap (not shown). In Figure 4 (b), the first lip member 40 is shown to be positioned further forward than the second, lip member 41 in the tissue paper removal direction 42. The first and second lip members 40, 41 are sufficiently flexible to be able to move in the opposite configuration, whereby the second lip member 41 is placed further forward than the lip member 40 in the direction of extraction of the lip. Furthermore, the first and second lip members 40, 41 are resilient in that, after deformation in the direction of removal of tissue paper and in a state of non-superposition, they are resiliently deformed in a state of overlap With reference to 4 (c), the overlaying lips 40, 41 can be seen in a plan view of a lower face 3 of the package 1. The overlaying lips 40, 41 are shown with the empty package 1 of paper silk so that both lips 40, 41 can be observed. If tissue paper exists in the package 1, the lip 41 would be covered by a pull-tab portion of the lowermost tissue paper, closest to the supply opening 11 projecting through the supply opening 11 and the lips. 40, 41. The overlapping lips extend through the supply opening 11 of the package 1 when the package 1 is in the open configuration in a longitudinal direction of the package 1. The supply opening 11 is provided on one side 3 of the package and extends between a front face 7 and a rear face 6 of the package 1 to provide a supply opening 11 that opens along the full width of the elongated silk papers in the stack of tissue papers 10 in the packaging 1 so as to avoid crumpling the silk papers in the width direction of the silk papers during delivery. The overlapping lips, 40, 41 likewise extend substantially along the entire length of the supply opening 11 which is from a front face wall 7 to a rear face wall 6 of the lower face 3 of the packing 1. The lips 40, 41 overlap at opposite ends in a longitudinal direction of the elongated delivery opening 11, wherein the overlap extends in the context of the lips 40, 41 which is deformed in the direction of withdrawal 42 tissue paper, in a state of no overlap. Therefore, overlapping portions 43 of the lips 40, 41 are provided which overlap at opposite longitudinal ends of the supply opening 11 and a central non-overlapping portion 44 positioned longitudinally between the opposite 'overlapping portion 43. The overlapping portions 43 cover the tissue paper in the tissue paper removal direction 42 while the non-overlapping portion 44 leaves the tissue paper in the uncovered package 1 in the tissue paper removal direction 42. . The non-overlapping portion 44 allows a user I1 have access through the lips 40, 41 to hold a tissue paper closer to the supply opening 11 for the purpose of pulling the pull tab portion of that silk paper through the supply opening 11 and through overlapping lips 40, 41 for subsequent delivery. : In use, the sealed package 1, as shown in Figure 4 (a) is taken and the perforation line 8 is separated by breaking by rotating the opposite longitudinal portions of the lower face 3 of either side of the line 8. of perforation around the hinge 9 in one direction so that the opposite parts of the lower face 3 move apart and in this way the perforation line 8 breaks. In the closed configuration 1, the superposed lips 40, 41 are placed in a state of greater overlap when a silk paper 45 placed between the lip 40 further forward in the direction 42 of removing tissue paper and a lip 41 less forward in the direction 42 of tissue paper extraction. In the closed configuration shown in Figure 4 (a), before the perforation line 8 is broken, the "overlapping" lips 40, 41 are confined within the walls of the packaging 1. According to the packaging 1 it opens as described in the foregoing, the lips 40, 41 move apart as they reach one end of the opposite portions of the lower face wall 3 on either side of the perforation line 8. In this way, the lips 40, 41 move from a configuration of greater overlap when the package is closed to a configuration of less overlap, but still with overlap, when shown in Figure 4 (b).

With reference to figure 4 (b),; with the package 1 in the open configuration, the tissue paper 45 most proximal to the delivery opening 11 has a portion projecting through the supply opening 11 and protruding from (in the paper removal direction 42 of silk) the overlapping lips 40, 41 so as to provide a pull tab portion of the tissue paper 45 to be held by a wearer to deliver the tissue paper 45. The overlapping lips 40, 41 contact the tissue. opposing faces of the tissue 45 projecting through the lips 40, 41.

As a user pulls the tissue paper 45 in the tissue paper removal direction 42, the lip 40 further forward is deformed in the tissue paper removal direction 42, which also places the lips 40, 41 in a non-overlapping configuration. Subsequent tissue paper in the stack adjacent to the tissue paper 45 is pulled through the supply opening 11 and the lips 40, 41 are pulled with the tissue 45 in the tissue removal direction 42, due to the subsequent tissue paper 46 and the tissue paper 45 that is supplied are in face-to-face contact. The subsequent tissue paper 46 advances through the lips 40, 41 so that the tissue paper 45 is in contact with the lip placed further forward in the direction 42 of tissue paper removal and the tissue paper 46 subsequent to it. it is in contact with the lip 41 positioned less forward in the direction 42 of removing tissue paper. According to the first tissue paper 45 in; the tissue paper removal sequence of the stacking of the tissue papers 10 is pulled through the delivery opening 11 to such a degree that the next tissue paper 46 in the tissue removal sequence of the tissue stack 10 comes into contact with the lip 41, the lip 41 is further deformed in the silk paper removal direction 42 to allow the subsequent tissue paper 46 to be pulled through the first and second lips 40, 41. Once that the tissue paper 45 is completely pulled through the supply opening 1 and the lips 40, 41 so that the tissue paper 45 is no longer in contact with any of the lips 40, 41, that paper of silk 45 has been supplied. At this point, the lip "41" falls back to its original, non-deformed state, at a slower speed than the lip 40 due to the contact of the tissue paper 46 subsequent thereto.As a result, the lip 40 placed more towards in front, more previously, it falls back so that it lies behind the lip 41 placed further backward previously in the silk paper removal direction 42. The lips 40, 41 are thus alternated with respect to which of the Lips are placed further forward on each tissue paper that is supplied.

The tissue paper 46 is now the first tissue paper in the tissue paper removal sequence of the tissue paper stack 10 and protrudes through the lips 40, 41 to provide a pull tab portion to be held by the tissue paper. a user for supplying the tissue paper 46. This sequence of steps is repeated for each tissue paper subsequently removed with the lips overlapping alternating with respect to which of the lips is placed further forward.

The overlapping portions 43 of the overlapping lips 40, 41 contact opposite sides of the tissue paper which is withdrawn through the supply opening 11 in opposite side portions of the elongated tissue paper as it is removed in a longitudinal direction of the tissue paper. This contacting of opposite sides of tissue paper that is removed by the overlapping portions 43 of the overlapping lips 40, 41 is a contact of pinch types on opposite sides of the tissue paper. In the portion that does not overlap 44 of the lips 40, 41, the tissue paper that is removed can be brought into contact with one or the other of the lips 40, 41 but the contact is not for pinching the tissue paper as it is removed. The pinching of opposite side portions of an elongated tissue paper is at the moment it is extracted, with a central lateral portion between opposite side portions of the tissue paper that are not pinched, and tends to prevent wrinkling of the tissue paper into the tissue. Lateral direction during delivery.

The above description of overlapping lips 40, 41 has been provided in the context of a package 1 as previously described with respect to the modalities of 1 (a) to 2 (d). Such a package 1 is disposable and therefore made of less difficult to work materials such as a thin polymer wrap, paper or cardboard. In an alternative mode, the overlapping lips can be applied in any one of a harder container to work for a stack of tissue papers. This container can be wall mounted and made of suitably rigid or metal polymers. The overlapping lips 40, 41 can be distributed on opposite side sides of an elongated supply opening for such a container. The lips can be attached to the container on either side of the supply opening and extend through the supply opening in a cantilevered manner so that they overlap partially so that a normal line to a plane of the supply opening can pass through. through both lips where they overlap. The lips may be shaped and operate as described in the above with respect to Figures 4 (a) to 4 (c). For a container having a fixed supply opening, the description of the overlapping lips 40, 41 with respect to the closed configuration of the package 1 may not be applicable. With a fixed supply opening 11, that is, a supply opening 11 that is not formed by opposing portions of a container or package moving away from each other, the overlapping lips do not move from one configuration further. superimposed, as shown in Figure 4 (a) to one of smaller overlap, but 1 a configuration where they still overlap, as shown in Figure 4 (b).

In one aspect of the present invention, the package 1 comprises a stack of tissue papers 10 and also comprises a cover 50 for covering the stack of tissue papers 10 in a thickness or stacking direction of the stack of tissue papers 10 when the package 1 is in the open configuration, as shown in figure 5. The stack of tissue papers 10 has opposite major forces provided at least in part by a first and last tissue paper in a stacking sequence of the stack of papers 10. The package 1 is opened in the supply opening 11 in such a manner as to show the larger side of the stack of silk papers 10 corresponding to the first tissue paper in the stack 10. One hinge 9 of the package 1 is provided through, in a lateral direction, of an opposite major face of the stack of tissue papers 10 so that the package 1 opens around the hinge 9 to provide the supply opening 11. The connection of the hinge 9 and the supply opening 11 are opposite front and rear face walls 6, 7 of the package 1 so that they also open around the hinge 9 so as to show the stack of tissue papers 10 in a Direction of thickness of the stack of silk papers 10.

The opening in the rear and front face walls 6, 7 of the gasket 1 is larger in extension towards the supply opening 11 from the hinge 9 when the gasket 9 is in the open configuration. The opening is between opposing parts or, in the modes shown, the halves 51, 52 of the front and rear face walls 6, 7 when the package 1 is in the open configuration. The cover 50 is attached to one of the parts 51, 52 on a front face 7 of the package 1 and extends through the opening between the opposite portions 51, 52 of the front face 7 of the other part 51, 52 to protect the stacking of silk papers 10 from contamination, for example by dust. The cover 50 is attached to one of the parts 51, 52 although it is not attached to the other part 51, 52 of the front face 7 when the package 1 is in the open configuration so as to move with one of the parts 51, 52 and is slidable with respect to the other part 51, 52. The cover 50 is attached to one of the parts inside the package 1. In the closed configuration of the package 1 before the perforation line 8 is broken, the cover 50 is covered by package 1 so that cover 50 is inside package 1.

The cover 50 is triangular in shape so that a peak of the triangle is placed on the hinge side 9 of the opening between the opposite portions 51, 52 of the front face 7 when the package 1 is in the open configuration and a base of the The triangle defined by the cover 50 is placed on the side of the supply opening 11 of the front face 7. In this way, the shape of the cover 50 adapts to the shape of the opening between the opposite parts 51, 52 of the packaging 1 when package 1 is in the open configuration. The cover 50 in this manner provides an effective dust cover for the entire length of the stack of tissue papers 10 that would otherwise be shown in the stacking direction when the package 1 is in the open configuration.

In use, the package 1 is held at the opposite longitudinal ends thereof with the fingers on a wall 3 of the underside of the package 1 and the fingers on a wall 2 of the upper face of the package 1 and the palms in contact with the walls of the package 1. opposite longitudinal end faces 4, 5 of the package 1, as shown by the hands 54 in Figure 5. The thumbs are pushed into the upper face of the package 1 while the fingers of the hand 54 move apart so that they break a perforation line 8 for providing a supply opening 11 whose lower face wall 3 of the gasket 1, a hinge 9 in the upper face wall 2 of the gasket 1 and front and rear openings in the gasket 1 connecting the hinge 9 and the supply opening 11. The parts 51, 52 of the package 1 move away from one another as the package 1 opens around the hinge 9. ' The cover 50 moves with the part 51, 52 of the package 1 which is attached to and slides relative to the other part 51, 52. The cover 50 provides a dust cover when the package 1 is in the open configuration covering the stacking silk papers 10 in the direction of stacking the tissue papers.

The cover 50 is preferably transparent so that a user can observe through it to determine a level of decrease, which is determined by the number of tissue papers remaining in the stack 10 of the package 1. The cover 50 is You can make a polymer film.

In a modification of the package 1 shown in Figure 5, a cover 50 can be provided on opposite faces of the package 1, where these faces extend in the stacking direction of the stacking of the silk papers 10. In this way , in the embodiment shown in Figure 5, a cover 50 covering an opening between the opposite portions 51, 52 of the gasket 1 on the rear face wall 6 and the front face wall 7 of the gasket 1 can be provided.

In another modification of the embodiment shown in Figure 5, the cover 50 can be attached to the outside of the package 1. Aesthetically this modification may not be as desirable as that shown in Figure 5 where the cover 50 it can not be observed until the package 1 is opened.

The package 1 of figure 5 has been described above with respect to the walls of the upper, lower, rear and front faces 2, 3, 6 and '7 of the package 1. However, the cover 50 can be provided for other types of packaging 1 in addition to those shown in figure 5. In this way, any packaging that opens on three sides around a hinge provided on the fourth face of packaging 1 to show the silk papers on all three sides Desirably it will include a cover for one, two or three of the faces to provide protection against the dust of the tissue of the package. This cover is attached to a portion of the package 1 on one side of the opening and is slidable with respect to a portion of the package on the other side of the opening and preferably is attached to the interior of the package so that the package covers the cover when the package is in a closed configuration. Preferably, the supply opening shown on one side of the package opposite the hinge face is not covered or is covered only or partially by the cover so that a user does not prevent it from holding the underlying tissue papers through the opening of the cover. supply. More preferably, the cover is positioned with respect to,; preferably only with respect to the cover of one or both of the faces of the stack extending between a hinge face of the package and the supply opening.

With reference to figure 6, an inter-folding pattern of the stack of silk papers 10 can be observed in the package 1. The stack of silk papers 10 comprises a first tissue paper 45, a second tissue paper 46 and a sequence of additional tissue papers until the last tissue paper 47 is interfolded to form the stack of tissue papers 10. For any given tissue paper in the stack 10 (except for the first and last of the tissue papers 45, 47 in the stacking tissue removal sequence of the stack 10), the given tissue paper 46 is folded so as to provide a front panel 46 'and a rear panel 46"connected by a fold 46'". Since the tissue paper 46, which is elongated and the fold 46 '"extends laterally through the tissue paper 46. The front panel 46' is in a partial face-to-face relationship (along an extension longitudinally of the front panel in the longitudinal direction of the tissue paper 46) with the back panel of a tissue paper 45 prior to the removal of tissue paper from the stack 10. In addition, since a back panel of a tissue paper silk 46, is in relation to the face of partial overlap with a front panel of the following tissue paper in the tissue paper of the removal of the tissue paper, in this way, according to the tissue paper 45 prior to a tissue paper 46 is When removed, the tissue paper 46 is displaced therewith in the direction of removal of the tissue paper as a result of a back panel of the prior tissue paper that is in a face-to-face overlap relationship with a front panel of a tissue. tissue paper 46. Of equal As the tissue paper 46 is removed, the next tissue paper 48 is displaced therewith as a result of a front panel of the following tissue paper which is in a face-to-face overlap relationship with a back panel of the paper of silk 46 given.

With reference to Figure 6, the front panel 46 'since a tissue paper 46 is overlapped with a back panel of a tissue paper prior to the tissue paper removal sequence in a partial extension over a length of longitudinal axis of a tissue paper 46. Similarly, a back panel 46 of a tissue paper 46 is partially overlaid with a front panel of the following tissue paper 48 and in the sequence of tissue removal in a tissue paper. partial grade along a longitudinal axis of the tissue paper 46. Therefore an elongated stack 10 is provided having a central portion 60 between longitudinal end portions 61 replaced where the front and back panels of the tissue papers in the stack 10 overlap each other in a face-to-face relationship.In the opposite longitudinal edges 61 of the stack 10 the adjacent tissue papers in the stack 10 do not overlap each other.Thus, since a tissue paper 46,there is a front panel 46 'which is overlaid with a back panel of a tissue paper 45 - prior to the tissue removal sequence together with a first portion of the front panel 46'. Likewise, the back panel 46"is superposed in a face-to-face relationship with a front panel of the following tissue paper 48 in the tissue paper removal sequence of the stack 10 along a second partial extension of the panel 46. "rearward in a longitudinal direction of the tissue paper 46. Therefore, there is a first and second longitudinal portions of the tissue paper 46 which are separated by the fold 46" 'that do not overlap with adjacent tissue papers in that sequence of tissue paper removal The overlaying portions of the tissue papers in the stack 10 correspond to the stacking portion 60 of the stack while the non-overlapping portions of the tissue papers in the stack 10 correspond to portions that do not overlap the stack 10 at opposite longitudinal ends 61 of the stack 10.

In a longitudinal direction of the elongate stack 10, a ratio of the longitudinal extent of the overlapping portion 60 to a longitudinal extension of the stack 10 is about 30%.

The stacking region 60 of the stack 10 is a central region between opposite longitudinal portions 61 of the elongated stack 10. The package 1 is configured so that a supply opening 11 and the perforation line 8 that has been broken to create the supply opening are placed in the central region of the stack 10. The weight of the stack 10 is thus deviated centrally in this manner. in the superposition region 61 so that the overlap region 60 leaves more than any of the opposite longitudinal end portions 61 that do not overlap the stack 10 when a longitudinal axis of the stack 10 is aligned horizontally.

When used, with respect to any tissue paper 46 given in the stack 10, as the prewash paper of the tissue paper stacking sequence 45 is removed through the supply opening 11 (as previously described) of the package 1, the gap provided by the longitudinal extension of the next tissue paper 45 which does not overlap with the second tissue paper 46 is taken. Once the gap is taken and the next tissue paper 45 is pulled through the supply opening 11 to a larger longitudinal extension of the tissue paper 45, the tension along the tissue paper removal direction The following is transferred to the tissue paper 46 given by means of a face-to-face interaction between a portion of a back panel of the following tissue paper 45 and a portion of the front panel 46 'of the tissue paper 46. Once the paper of silk 45 is extracted through the supply opening so that the entire longitudinal extension of the overlapping portion of the front panel of the given tissue paper 46 protrudes through the supply opening 11, the following tissue paper. it is released from the given tissue paper 46 and is supplied from the stack 10 of the package 1. The tissue paper 46 projecting through the supply opening 11 can then be held by the user for delivery. The gap in the tissue paper 46 where it is not in a face-to-face overlapping relationship with the next tissue paper 48 and the tissue paper removal sequence can be taken until it reaches a portion of overlap between a face of the tissue. panel 46"rear and one side of a portion of a front panel of the following tissue paper 48., At this point, pulling on the tissue paper 46 causes the next tissue paper 48 to move therewith, due to the face-to-face interaction between a given tissue paper and the next tissue paper 48 in the overlapping portion thereof This procedure is repeated in order to supply any given tissue paper in the stack 10.

The stacking of tissue papers 10 can be an independent aspect of the present invention. In this manner, the stack 10 can be provided in an alternative type of container of the disposable package 1, such as one made of more resistant materials such as metal or rigid plastic as in a container 1 mountable on a wall. In such a container mountable in a wall, the container is preferably elongated so that its longitudinal axis coincides with a longitudinal axis of the stack 10. In addition, a container supply opening preferably is centrally positioned longitudinally in the container and extends laterally through the container as in the package 1 described with respect to figure 6. The supply opening preferably extends laterally through the container from one face to an opposite face so as to have a container supply opening which is at least laterally large, but larger than a lateral extension of the stack 10. This configuration means that the stack 10 will tend to accumulate in the supply opening in the direction of removal of tissue paper when the direction of tissue removal is aligns with gravity (ie, the longitudinal axis of the stack 10 and the container is aligned n with the horizontal).

The stack can be made up of folded sheets of multiple layers, instead of the single fold shown. In this case, any given sheet will be superimposed with adjacent sheets along a partial extension of its front and rear panels. There will also be at least one intermediate panel between the front and rear parts. In addition, the sheets of the stack can include a perforation line that connects adjacent panels of the sheets so that the sheet can be divided into at least two pieces in one or more perforation lines connecting the panels.

A ratio of the extension of a longitudinal extension of the region 60 of superposition of the stack 10 with respect to a longitudinal extension of the stack 10 in its entirety has been described in the foregoing and is approximately 0.3. Preferably, the ratio as indicated in the above in the summary section, which preferably can be from 0.25 to 0.5.

Figures 7 (a) to 7 (c) describe a preferred embodiment of a jet 70 of wet non-woven sheets. The spout 70 of wet non-woven sheets is in an open configuration in Figure 7 (ai) and is in a closed configuration in Figure 7 (b) 1. The wet non-woven sheet dispenser has a receptacle 71 for receiving a stack of wet non-woven sheets. The receptacle has first and second opposed major faces, first and second opposite smaller faces and first and second opposite faces of intermediate size. The larger faces are provided with upper and lower wall faces 72, 73, the smaller faces are provided by opposite end wall faces 74, 75 and the intermediate sized faces are provided as opposite front and rear faces 76, 77. upper wall face 72 is characterized by having a supply opening 78 in a central region thereof. The front face 76 is characterized by having a recess and a retainer 79 formed therein to receive a tab 80 of a lid 81 therein in order to secure the lid in the closed configuration of the 7 (b). The rear face wall 77 is characterized by having a hinge member 82 extending therefrom so as to articulately connect a cover 81 to the receptacle 71. The opposite end face walls 74, 75 and the front face walls and opposite rear 76, 77, dependent on the upper face wall 72 and partially define a wet non-woven sheet receiving cavity of the receptacle 77. A lower face of the receptacle 77, as defined by the end face walls 74, 75 and the front and rear face walls 76, 77 are open so that the tissue papers can be inserted into the receptacle 77 through its open bottom face 73.

The wet non-woven sheet dispenser has a lower part 83 that is detachably engageable on the open bottom face of the receptacle 71. The lower part 83 is shown separated from the receptacle 71 in Figure 7 (c) and attached to the receptacle 71 in the figure 7 (a) and in figure 7 (b). A lower portion 83 provides a vertical platform 84 surrounded by a peripheral flange 85. The platform 84 is sized so that it is engageably received within the opposite end walls 74, 75 and the front and rear walls 76, 77. An upper surface 86 of the platform 84 provides a base of the receptacle 71 on the which can be placed a stack of wet non-woven sheets. Depending on the platform 84 of the lower part 83 there is a portion 87 in the form of a triangular prism which defines a vertical surface for the spout 70 of wet non-woven sheets.

The spout 70 of the wetted sheets noi further comprises a cover 81 which; it is hingedly connected to the receptacle 71 by means of the hinge member 72. The lid 81 can be pivotally moved around the hinge member 82 between the open and closed configurations. The cap 81 defines around its periphery a dependent flange that fits on and off a vertical flange 89 extending around the periphery of the upper surface 72 of the receptacle 77. The flange -88 dependent on the cap 81 and the vertical flange 89 extends around the periphery of the upper surface 72 of the receptacle 71 is sealingly engaged with one another, with the edge 88 dependent on the lid 81 peripherally positioned outside the vertical flange 819 of the receptacle 71. With reference to Figure 7 (b), the upper surface 90 of the wet nonwoven sheet spout is uniform and continuous for easy cleaning.

The opening 78 of the spout, the upper surface 72 of the receptacle 71 is closed:; partially by an insert 91 extending around the supply opening and having fins 92 projecting inwardly separated by grooves 93. The fins are circumferentially distributed around a central hole through which the tissue paper passes in the exit from supply opening 78 and insert 91.

For use, the cap 81 is held by the thumb inserted in the recess of the detent and the recess 79 when the jet 70 of wet non-woven sheets is in the closed configuration. The thumb then pulls the cap 81 so that it turns around the hinge member 82 which causes the tongue 80 to deform away from a detent on the top of the detent and the recess 79 to thereby release the cap 81 from movement in the open configuration as shown in figure 7 (a). The opening of the spout 70 of wet non-woven sheets shows the upper surface 72 and a supply opening 78. A wet non-woven sheet can be removed from the receptacle 77 through the supply opening 78 in the upper surface 72 of the receptacle 71 and through the insert 91 which partially closes the delivery opening 78. As the tissue paper is pulled through the insert 91, the fins 92 are deformed in the direction of removal of tissue paper, which serves to crease the wet non-woven sheet as it is removed, which allows any excess moisture in the tissue. the tissue paper is removed by compression and held within the receptacle 71. After the tissue paper has been removed, the lid 81 can be closed again so that the tongue 80 deforms outwardly to allow it to pass over a tissue. catch and then resiliently reshape inwardly so that it can be received in the recess of the detent and the recess 79. In the closed configuration, the peripheral flange 88 dependent on the cap 81 coincides in a sealing manner with a peripheral flange 89 vertical of the receptacle 71. These ridges may be formed at least partially from a resilient material similar to rubber in order to improve the sealing capabilities. Similarly, the insert 91 can be made of a rubber-like material to allow the fins 92 to change resiliently and also to seal the delivery opening 78.

When a replacement stack of wet non-woven sheets is to be inserted into the receptacle 71 of the wet non-woven sheet dispenser 70, the lower part 83 is separated so that the platform 84 is out of engagement with the front face walls, rear and end 76, 77, 74 and 75 of the receptacle 71. The receptacle 71 can then rotate about itself so that the cavity defined by the walls of the receptacle 71 are oriented upwards. A stack of wet non-woven sheets can then be inserted into the cavity defined by the receptacle 71 and the lower part 83 can be inserted so as to be sealant-like with the walls of the front, back and end face 76, 77 , 74 and 75 of the receptacle 71. An upper face 86 of the platform 84 in this manner is in a face-to-face relationship with a lower tissue paper of the stack of wet non-woven sheets inserted into the receptacle 71. The dispenser 70 Wet non-woven sheets can be turned around again so that the lid 81 and the supply opening 78 face upwards. By inserting the lower part 83, the platform 84 may be slightly compressed by the walls of the receptacle 71 as it is inserted so as to ensure a quick coupling between the lower part 83 and the walls of the receptacle 71 which is a sealing coupling. In this way, the lower part 83 was made of a resilient material. The lower part 83 can be made of a rubber or rubber-like material.

In the closed configuration shown in Fig. 7 (b), the spout 70 of wet non-woven sheets is substantially sealed and thus moisture leakage from the spout 70 is prevented. Sealing-matched beads 88, 89 and the lid 81 and the receptacle 71, respectively, prevent any moisture from escaping along a path through the supply opening 78 in a gap between the lid 81 and the receptacle and the upper surface 72 of the receptacle 71 and this way out of the dispenser 70 of wet non-woven sheets. In addition, the sealing coupling between the lower part 83 and the dependent walls 74, 75, 76 and 77 of the receptacle 71 prevent any moisture from escaping from the open bottom face of the receptacle 71.

In the embodiment shown, the lower portion 83 provides a vertical surface of the spout 70 of wet non-woven sheets that is not planar relative to the cap 90. Instead, it defines dependent inclined surfaces that coincide at a central point. These lower surfaces have a function that will become evident in the following. The spout 70 of wet nonwoven sheets can be made to have a flat bottom surface so as to allow it to rest on a back cover so that the plane of the top surface 72 and the plane of the top 90 have a surface substantially flat (in relation to the back cover) that is oriented upwards for a user.

The insert 91 is provided in the form of a fin structure 92 and slot 93 wherein the fins define a circumference of a central opening through which the wet nonwoven sheet can be removed. Other types of resilient inserts 91 are known in the field. The insert 91 can be modified so that it defines only one slot, which can be straight or similar to a wave. Similarly, the closing mechanism, which is a tab 80 and a retainer and recess structure in the embodiment shown, can be any type of locking mechanism. For example, the receptacle 71 can define a protruding tongue on a front face 76 and the lid 81 can have a matching lip that can be resiliently deformed outwardly to pass over the tongue and when resiliently released it is deformed so that the lip it is retained on the tongue to thereby ensure the spout 70 of wet non-woven sheets in the closed configuration.

Figures 8 (a) and 8 (b) describe a wet and dry tissue paper supply system 90 comprising a spout 20 of dry tissue paper and a spout 70 of wet nonwoven sheets. The dry tissue paper dispenser is as described in the above with respect to Figures 2 (a) to 2 (d). The spout 70 of wet non-woven sheets is as described above with respect to Figures 7 (a) to 7 (c). The spout 70 of wet non-woven sheets carries a stack of wet non-woven sheets in the receptacle 71 thereof. The dry tissue paper dispenser 20 carries a package 1 comprising a stack of dried silk papers. The dry tissue paper dispenser 20 is adapted to be mounted on a wall of a room by means of a support plate 22. The peripheral wall extends from the rear plate 22 in a direction from one normal to the plane defined by the rear plate 22 having a lower face portion 26 and an upper face portion 25. The lower face part 26 is characterized by having a supply opening 24 through which access can be had to the supply opening 11 of the package 1 so that the dried silk papers in the package 1 can be removed. The upper face portion 25 of the dry tissue paper dispenser 20 defines a V-shape dependent on an outer surface thereof. The wet non-woven sheet spout 70 has the lower part 83 which also defines a recess V-shaped as the lower outer surface. The V-shape of the lower part 83 of the wet non-woven sheet spout 70 and the upper part 75 of the dry tissue paper spout substantially coincide with each other so that the spout 70 of wet non-woven sheets is received in a manner secure in the 20 supply of dry tissue paper. The spout 70 of wet non-woven sheets rests on top of the spout 20 of dry tissue paper and has cooperating boundary surfaces that prevent relative movement of the spout 70 from wet non-woven sheets along an axis extending between face walls from opposite ends 27, 28 of the dry tissue paper dispenser and end face walls 74, 75 of the wet nonwoven sheet dispenser. 1 In use, the dry tissue paper dispenser is mounted on the wall of a room so that the rear plate 22 is mounted against the wall of the room. A normal direction to the wall of the room and to the back plate 22 can be defined as one. Z direction. The wet non-woven sheet dispenser 70 can then be placed on top of the dry tissue paper dispenser 20 so as to provide a wet and dry tissue paper supply system 90. A package 1 of the dried silk papers is inserted through an open front face of the dispenser 20 of dry tissue paper, as previously described with respect to Figures 2 (a) to 2 (d). The lid 81 of the wet non-woven sheet dispenser 70 can be opened as shown in Figs. 7 (a), through 7 (c) so as to show the delivery opening 78. A user can extract tissue paper from the supply opening 78 of the dispenser 70 of wet nonwoven sheets and can extract paper from dry through the opening 11 of the package 1 and the supply opening 24 of the tissue paper dispenser 20 dry, as required. The wet and dry silk papers are supplied in opposite directions of tissue removal which can be considered to be along a Y axis perpendicular to the Z axis. It is also possible to define an X axis that is perpendicular to the axis And and to the Z axis and extends in a direction between opposite end face walls 27, 28 of the dry tissue paper dispenser 20 and between opposite end face walls 74, 75 of the dispenser 70 of wet nonwoven sheets. The dependent inclined surfaces in the lower part of the wet nonwoven sheet spout and the surfaces depending on the upper surface of the spout 20 of the dry tissue paper interact in a matching manner so that the inclined surfaces of the dry tissue paper dispenser 20 resist the movement of the spout 70 of wet nonwoven sheets in the X direction.

The dry tissue paper dispenser 20 can be easily filled by replacing the package 1 therein with a fresh package through an open front face of the dispenser 20 of dry tissue paper. The wet non-woven sheet spout can easily be filled by turning upside down and removing the lower part 83 of the receptacle 71 and inserting a new stack of wet non-woven sheets into the open face presented by the receptacle 71 turned upside down from the spout 70 wet non-woven sheets. The lower part 83 can then be replaced and the spout 70 of wet non-woven sheets is returned back onto the spout 20 of dry tissue paper. The dependent nature of the lower part 83 means that the spout 70 of wet non-woven sheets has a center of gravity placed within the lower part 83 and preferably also within a directional line X connecting opposite inclined surfaces of the upper part of the dry tissue paper dispenser. This provides a particularly stable configuration for the spout 70 of wet nonwoven sheets which preferably allows a user to remove the wet nonwoven sheets from the spout 70 of wet nonwoven sheets using only one hand. That is, the dispenser 70 of wet non-woven sheets is not required to be stabilized with one hand so that the wet non-woven sheets can be removed from the spout 70 of wet non-woven sheets with the other hand.

In a modification of the dry tissue paper dispenser 20 shown in FIGS. 8 (a) and FIG. 8 (b), vertical front and rear flanges that contact the front and rear faces 76 can also be provided, 77 of the dispenser 70 of wet non-woven sheets so as to prevent movement of the spout 70 of wet non-woven sheets in the Z direction when the tissue paper is being removed from the spout 70 of wet non-woven sheets. Similarly, the vertical flanges can be placed on plates of opposite ends 27, 28 of the dry tissue paper dispenser so as to contact the end faces 74, 75 of the wet nonwoven sheet dispenser. Preferably, the vertical flanges extend around the periphery of the upper face portion 25 of the dry silk pappel dispenser 20, which will thus surround the walls of the front, rear and end faces 76, 77, 74 and 75 of the wet non-woven sheet dispenser to hold the spout 70 of wet non-woven sheets at the position in the X and Z directions when the tissue paper is supplied from the spout 70 of wet non-woven sheets. As with the cooperating boundary surfaces shown in Fig. 8 (a) and Fig. 8 (b), the vertical ridges do not impede movement of the spout 70 of wet nonwoven sheets in the Y direction for when the sheet dispenser 70 Wet non-woven should be filled.

The spout 70 of wet nonwoven sheets may have a lower surface that does not define a dependent V shape such as a flat surface. It can be provided with a means for securing on a surface of a room such as a back cover. The means may be a suction cup means; for example. In this case, the cooperating boundary surfaces between the wet and dry jets 20, 70 are not necessarily required although preferred. Alternatively, there may be a magnetic interaction to secure the wet and dry jets 20, 70 together. This alternative securing means (magnetic / suction cup / other) does not have the aesthetic advantage of lower and upper surfaces male / female limit of the wet and dry leaf jets 20, 70 of the system 90 of FIGS. 8 (a) and 8 (b).

The dry tissue paper of all aspects of the present invention is preferably toilet paper, which is characteristic over other kinds of hygienic tissue paper such as facial tissue, as is known to the skilled person. You can present etching and it can be single sheets or multiple sheets. A characteristic feature of braided paper compared to other types of toilet paper and absorbent is its dissolving capacity. The toilet paper has a characteristic in the rate or shortly after discharge. Other types of tissue paper include wet strength agents to reduce their dissolution capacity in water.

In a preferred embodiment, the feature described in the foregoing in relation to a breakable package of Figures 1 (a) to 1 (d), the dispenser of Figures 1 (a) to 1 (d), the lips superimposed on the package of figure 5, the inter-bent distribution of figure 6 and the wet non-woven sheet jet of figures 7 (a) to 7 (c) are combined in a system as shown in figures 8 (a) and 8 (b).
