Description

SILK PAPER SYSTEM 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,; facial tissue paper sheets, sheets of tissue paper type of paper towel for kitchen, tissue paper towel sheets, 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 bathing is wrapped 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 interfolded so that as one sheet is pulled, the next sheet comes protruding partially 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 facial tissue paper can be removed, one by one. The interleaving of the sheets of tissue paper allows the extraction of a successive sheet by partially pulling a preceding sheet1 '. A leaf partially pulled in this way adheres to the opening of the supply for ease of clamping 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 badly housed rolls means that space that could otherwise be occupied by tissue paper is wasted.

Boxes of tissue paper; Facials 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 box of conventional tissue paper is usually a process where two hands are used. 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 package filling; of sheets of bath tissue paper 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, paper towels or tissue paper sheets are removed from a wrap which can be plastic or paper and are loaded into the container. A design of a towel container of paper 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 to the user, which often then rotates so that a long axis of 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 In the same way, the process of loading and supply 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. It certainly exists; a gratifying feeling when opened with a click.

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 1 of the weakening line to break the weakening line. The tear-off strip should be implemented by means of a pair of separate weakening lines with a protruding pull tab at one end of the strip for tear-off, by Ib that 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 of way that can be held by the complete hands of a i user in order to carry out the bending. That is, the package has a size so that the palm (at least partially), the fingers and the thumb of a i1 hand fit around the package (so that the package fills the hand) on one side "of the weakening line 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 from; so that they fold the package and in this way open the line of weakening by rupture. 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 a 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 i can be at least one lateral line which 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 lateral sides Opposites of the weakening line need to be clamped, which can 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 the. most of the lateral periphery of the elongated package so that a minor part of the part that is not covered by the line of weakness serves as a hinge portion that holds the opposite parts of the package together and that allows the package to open around of 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 flexed from a closed and sealed configuration to an open configuration upon breaking of the weakening line. Preferably, the package can be manipulated back to its closed position whereby opposite sides of the broken line of weakness 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 configuration: open 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 empty it retains at least substantially its; way that 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 in relation 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 this way allow a sheet to 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 weakening is broken and the The package is opened and a cover is 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 package. the sheets of tissue paper to remove a sheet from the package.

One can describe a stack of sheets having a top sheet that provides the top dart of the stack, a bottom sheet that provides the bottom of the stack and a number of sheets stacked between the top and bottom sheets providing side of the stack that connect the top 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 is less * of1 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 whereby the package has a hinge portion and the package 1 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 to i through which a first sheet in the stack (closest to the supply opening in a sequence of sheet removal from the stack) is shown and can be removed, wherein the top sheet is on an opposite side of the stack to the hinge and also provides a lateral opening through which the stack is shown, in a thickness direction (or stacking 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.d B 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 the other side of the weakening line extends cantileveredly.

Preferably, the cover is attached to a 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 configuration of the package, the cover overlaps with the other part of the package and moves within a state of less overlap or without any overlap, as the package opens.

In a third aspect of the invention, there is provided a container for holding a stack of interfolded absorbent tissue paper sheets, the container comprising a supply opening for extracting a sheet from the stack through the delivery opening, wherein the opening of supply has lips that overlap in a direction of removal of the sheet, the lips are configured to be opened in a state of less overlap or without overlap as the sheets move through it and to return to a state of overlap after the removal of the sheet.

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 sheets of tissue paper. This can be; compare with a known opening in tissue paper boxes, so a ? film is dispersed through the supply opening and must slide in it. Although the groove has a tendency to prevent the sheets from slipping out of the opening of the nozzle spout, it does not, intentionally, require as much deflection as 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 most. 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 I The opening provides a direct path for the user's fingers to pick up the sheets, which is useful when first loading the sheets 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, so that the. The sheet is capable of being pulled through the same free of contact of the lips which are superimposed 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 one side of tissue paper, the overlapping lips contact opposite faces of the sheet as they are pulled through it. Preferably, the supply opening is elongated and the overlapping lips are configured to contact opposite sides of tissue paper as they are pulled through and are located at opposite longitudinal end portions of the delivery opening and the opening defined by the overlapping lips are 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 opening of the packaging, the container or the dispenser. The supply opening is defined by the terminal walls around its periphery. The plane on which you are end walls 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 opening of the package. supply, 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 opening supply still remains as the front sheet in the stack.

Preferably, the sheets are interfolded in an interfolded pattern whereby each sheet is folded at least once such that it comprises 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 next 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, thereby deforming the lips in an extraction direction and further where as the front panel is pulled, a rear panel is in a face-to-face relationship with the front panel of an adjacent sheet preceding in the stack so that pulls the front panel of the preceding sheet through the overlapping lips and in the supply opening with it, and wherein once a rear edge of the rear panel of the successive sheet is released by the overlapping lips and thus out of the delivery opening, the successive sheet is released and the front panel of the preceding sheet protrudes past it. s overlapping lips to be pulled before 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 under 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 silk paper face, 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 further 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 configuration of the lip has. a second lip further forward in the direction; of blade extraction compared to the first lip and occurs as a result of the blade 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 to receive the stacking of the package, in [where 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 in a manner that when the stack or package is inserted into the cavity, and the stack or package has a size 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 deviation so that the sheets are left over 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 that the current packaging being used to supply the first 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 blade to protrude; through the supply opening without having to be stepped in such a manner as to cause the tissue paper to fall unintentionally through the supply opening by the weight of gravity (particularly when the tissue stack is exhaust). ' Preferably, the spout defines the cavity to be elongated to receive an elongated stack of sheets of tissue paper or an elongated package; comprising a stack of sheets of tissue paper having a thickness direction with which the stacking direction of the tissue paper sheet stack is aligned and a lateral direction through a face of the stack of paper sheets of silk. The spout defines the peak of the V-shaped shape of the cavity at a central location between opposite longitudinal ends of the cavity so as to require, 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 leaf 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 parts of the cavity. the first and second walls. The spout includes end walls defining end faces of the cavity in a longitudinal direction of the cavity, which is a straight line extending through corresponding points in the direction of sheet removal on the end walls. . In a back to back direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction and the tissue paper removal direction, there is a back wall defining a back 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 system of a dispenser 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, ° to 70 °, 20 ° to 60 °, 25 ° to 50 ° or 40 °, 25 ° to 35 ° and preferably approximately 30 °. When the package delivery 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 in i ' where the outer edge of a peak of the V-shaped 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-folding pattern is such that each sheet is folded at least once to provide front and rear panels with respect to a tissue paper removal direction in the stacking direction. The interfolded pattern is such that for any given tissue paper in the stack, a back panel of an adjacent tissue paper is so ubiquitous in the stacking in the direction of tissue removal that it is in a face-to-face, overlapping relationship with the tissue. a front panel of a given sheet and a back panel of a preceding adjacent sheet in the stack at 1 the sheet removal direction which 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 overlap of a given sheet with the rear panel of the subsequent sheet and the front panel of the preceding sheet is i 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 rear panel of the subsequent sheet and a region without overlapping the sheet wherein the front and rear panels of the sheet extend beyond the overlapping faces to a fold portion, whereby a stack is defined comprising a region of overlap where the adjacent sheets in the stack overlap and regions without overlap. overlaying the stack on opposite sides of the overlap 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 deflected in 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 length ratio of regions that do not overlap with respect to a stack length) is in the range of 0.10 to 0.90, 0.15 to 0.75, 0.2 to 0.5 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 back panel are connected by a fold line.1 Preferably, the tissue paper is elongated and the fold line extends laterally through the tissue paper.

I 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 line of weakness 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 overlapping lips for an opening according to the third aspect of the invention provide a functional complex that can be particularly Useful. The region of overlap tends to counteract the opening of the package supply 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 substantive of 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, as a sheet escalated from the stack through the, supply opening and optionally through the overlapping lips, the opposite side 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 condition of a tissue paper box tend to wrinkle. wide tissue paper in a configuration very similar to viper. 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 'i crumpled to be supplied. The package: or dispenser 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 sheet it can be extracted 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 the prior art wet leaf dispensers, the receptacle has a lid and the receptacle lid includes a supply opening and a cover for the supply opening J The cover for the delivery opening is provided in a central region of the container. receptacle lid and pivotally mounted on it. The two-part configuration of the receptacle lid 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 lid 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 wiping by comparison with a top surface having a discontinuity as in the construction of two parts in the previous technique.

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 to secure it to the receptacle is advantageous in terms of manufacturing, in comparison with the hinge distributions and also in terms of ease of leaf loading procedure. In the prior art wet sheet dispensers as described above, 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 the lid. another hinge to thread a sheet of tissue paper through the supply opening and then both covers 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 can define a surface that: is not flat on which the spout rests, where the non-planar part should be understood with respect to the flat top surface of the vertical platform and the surface; closed configuration that is parallel to the. upper surface of the platform. In this manner, in one embodiment, the lower part defines a V-shaped bottom surface for the spout to be supported, which is capable of coinciding with a V-shaped upper surface as described with respect to the spout. tissue paper of the fourth and fifth aspects of the present invention. Alternatively, the lower part may define a frame so that it is placed on a circular bath paper roll spout. In both cases, the point is that the interleaving system of the dry tissue paper and wet sheets can be provided so that a space surface for the wet sheet dispenser is not required, so space is saved.

In a further preferred 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 therein. The platform has side walls! dependents that define 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 dependent on the periphery of the cap. Preferably, the flanges seal in if 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 delivery opening is provided with a deformable member which defines a relatively restricted path for the sheet of silk paper compared to the delivery opening. The deformable member has an opening to define the path for the tissue paper through the delivery opening while the tissue paper is compressed; as it passes through it.

In an eighth aspect of the present invention there is provided a wet 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 it can be removing a sheet from the stack, the dispenser comprises a top cover having an open position to provide access to the supply opening * so that the sheet can be removed from the stack through the supply opening and a closed position covering The opening; of supply, wherein the spout includes a lower part that is separable to load wet leaves from the bottom i in the receptacle and wherein the lower part has vertical side walls which engage frictionally with the side walls of the housing in order to secure the separable lower part of the receptacle housing.

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 dispenser of; wet sheets comprising the wet leaf 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. It comprises 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 opposite directions in a combined configuration whereby opposing wet and dry extraction directions are defined, and wherein the dry and wet leaf jets have cooperating boundary surfaces when in the combined configuration that resists lateral movement of the wet sheet dispenser with respect to the dry tissue paper jet in a direction perpendicular to the direction of extracting sheets from the dry tissue paper dispenser and the wet sheet dispenser, while allowing the spout to be placed on top of the other to move1, in one direction from the other supply opening dfel siphon to its supply opening. eleven The cooperating boundary surfaces are preferably in the form of male and female co-operating surfaces.

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 opened by rupture is provided, fastening 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. 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 line The perforation is broken 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 packing s¾ rubs in a V-shape in a side view wherein the opposite longitudinal halves and the hinge portion provide a V-shaped inner 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 perforation line shows a stack of silk papers included in the package. A tissue paper can be removed from the stack 'and' the package through a supply opening that is 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. The opposite sides of the perforation line respectively connect opposite ends of the lower side 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. from the bottom side 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 placed on the side ? respective of the supply opening, which overlap each other so as to cover the tissue paper facing the supply opening in the entirety except the central opening through the overlying lip members through which a portion of pull tab of a tissue paper in the most proximal stack in the supply 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 fabric is removed from the stack and through the supply opening, the overlapping lip members deform into; a less overlapping configuration so as to facilitate the passage of the tissue paper from between the lip members in the direction of extracting the tissue 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 in the open configuration. The cover is transparent so as to allow 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 being emptied.

The silk papers in the stack in the package are interfolded so that each tissue paper in the stack is partially overlapped with a tissue paper in the stack so that the preceding tissue paper is partially pulled through the tissue. Supply opening and overlapping lips as a result of partial face-to-face overlapping of tissue paper with a preceding tissue paper. The portion of preceding tissue paper which is in relation to the overlap with a tissue paper which has been removed from the stack through the supply opening and the lips which overlap in this way is extracted by adhesion through the tissues. lips that overlap according to a role of 'silk1 which will then be held by an μe? ßG ??. 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 on the left, for example, the first tissue paper and the tissue paper after that, the third tissue paper, will be extracted on the side of 1 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 extraction of tissue paper compared to the other.

The packaging of tissue paper is self-sustaining insofar as it can be fastened, the open configuration, even with the gravity weight of the hinge portion. This allows the supply opening to be located at the top top for placement on a back cover for silk papers to be removed therefrom, in a style familiar to those known in the art. 1 the paper box of conventional facial silks. 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 package is V-shaped as previously described, the spout cavity is correspondingly V-shaped, whereby the walls defining the cavity are sized so as to receive the package in a dockable manner. in 'the open configuration. The shape of the cavity as defined by the spout prevents the package from moving backward to a closed conformed block configuration and thus keeps the package in the open configuration. The spout has a supply opening in a bottom surface thereof for alignment with the packing supply opening so that the silk papers can be removed through the supply opening and overlapping lips of the package and through the spout supply opening. 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 dispenser as described in; the above has a V-shaped recess defined by an upper surface of the side wall, in which the upper surface is opposite a lower surface of the side wall which includes the supply opening which is located centrally between opposite longitudinal ends of the wall. cavity defined by the side wall. The V-shaped recess is shaped so that it receives the V-shape dependent on a lower part of a spout of wet non-woven material. 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 1 to be opened so as to show a receptacle housing supply opening through which wet nonwoven sheets can be supplied. The hinge also allows the lid to close so < what. , seal with the receptacle housing to prevent moisture from the sheets of tissue paper from escaping from the wet nonwoven sheet spout. 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 foregoing 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 package 1 has first and second main faces that are provided by respective upper and lower face walls 2, 3 of the package. 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 upper and lower faces greater 2, 3 and the lower end faces 4, 5.

The gasket 1 comprises a perforation line 8 extending through the rear and front face wall 6, 7 and the lower face wall, 3 of the gasket 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 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 stack of the interfolded fabrics 10 is completely covered by the package 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 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 are broken and provide a supply opening 11 through which tissue paper can be extracted from the stack 10. The walls of the back and front face 6, 7 of the package 1 also have respective parts that are separated from one another around the hinge 9 in the open configuration of the gasket 1. The spacing between the back and front face portions is reduced until disappearing in the hinge 9 at the upper edge of the face walls rear and front 6, 7 and at its widest part at the lower edge of the walls; of back and front face 6, 7 in the open configuration of package 1.

The rear and front face walls 6, 7 and the end face walls 4, 5 define a thickness of the packing 1 connecting the upper and lower faces 2, 3. The number of silk papers that can be stacked and coupled inside the package 1 is determined by the thickness of the package 1, that is, it defines the stacking direction of 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 extension; longitudinal of the stack 10. A pattern of interleaving 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 direction of thickness of the package 1 is sized to be convenient to be held by the sleeves of a user at opposite longitudinal ends of the package 1. The usual dimensions of the thickness direction of the package 1 are from 5-10 cm, preferably about 7 cm. I; 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 walls with respective end faces 4, 5. With the gasket 1 fastened in this way, 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 apart. The perforation line 8 is thus broken to show a stack of tissue papers 10 in 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 one side of a tissue paper further forward when it is seen through the separation between opposite parts of the lower face 3, separation which provides the supply opening 11. A tissue paper can be removed from the stack 10 through the supply opening 11.

When the package 1 is opened for the first time, the forwardmost tissue paper in it stacked 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 interleaving pattern of the staple tissue papers 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 it 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 from the stack 10, the package can reopen by rotation around the hinge 9.

The experts in the field will be able to consider various modifications to the specific modalities of packing 1 shown in FIGS. 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 moment of rotation around the hinge 9 is 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 packaging 1 be conveniently held by a user in order to apply the perforation line 8 with a breaking force, In this manner, 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 FIGS. 1 (a) to 1 (d), a line of weakness is provided in the form of a perforation line 8. Experts in the field can contemplate alternatives such as a weakening line in the form of a cut what happens only partially through the thickness of the packing wall and therefore not reaching the interior 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.

Packing 1 has been described as; they have upper and lower face walls 2, 3 which suggests that the supply opening 11 is oriented downward when used. In a considered use this; it is right. 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 opening il 11 supply is oriented upwards. That is, the package 1 is sufficiently rigid to keep the configuration open, no matter in what orientation the package 1 is placed. The package 1 is closed by a user by forcing the closure by rotation about the hinge 9.

Hinge 9 in packing 1 forms a fold line connecting opposite ends of the weakening line or perforation line. The packing 1, as described above, is designed to rotate around the hinge 9 in the opening and closure of the package 1. The hinge 9 can define a fold line as a result of its first use, 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 strip i¡ of tear is completely eliminated,: the lines of weakening are. break and packing;: it 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 that define opposite sides of the strip of T Tear 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 silk 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 paper package 1 ? of silk in the same where the packaging 1 is as described in the 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 separation in the peripheral wall 21 which provides a supply opening 24 through which tissue paper can be extracted from a packing supply opening from a package 1, as described above. The peripheral wall 21 of the spout defines a V-shaped form in which an upper wall portion 25 and a lower wall portion 26 of the peripheral wall 21 respectively follow V-shaped paths.

V of the lower wall portion 26 of the peripheral wall 21 can be constructed by imaging the lower wall portion 26 which does not define a supply opening 24 and at the same time continue to intercept. The V-shaped bottom wall portion 26 and the V-shaped upper wall portion 25 of the peripheral wall 21 are separated by end wall portions 27, 28 of the peripheral wall 21, which defines a dimension of thickness for the V-shape of the cavity 23. J The peripheral wall 21 of the Tanner 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. Also, j 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 in the spout 20, a front face 7 of the package 1 is in the same plane as the front end of the peripheral wall 21 .

An angle between the legs of the V-shape of the cavity 23"preferably lies in a range of 130 ° -160 ° and preferably approximately 150 °. An angle ß is defined as shown in Figure 1 (c) , which is the angle crossed by the supply opening 11 compared to a closed configuration 0o of the supply opening 11. The angle β 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 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 dispenser 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 opened package can then be inserted into the spout 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 dipped 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 open by breaking through the perforation line 8-so that the package 1 is opened. The package 1 can be pushed completely into the dispenser 20, as shown in 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 it can slide back to a back wall 22 of the spout 20 comes into contact and remains in the same plane against the rear wall 9 of the packaging 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 supply opening 24 of the dispenser 20 so that the I tissue paper passes through the supply opening 11 of the package 1 and through the supply opening 24 of the dispenser 20 when a tissue paper is extracted 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 and lower face walls 2 and 3 and the face walls 4, 5 of the package 1 and the peripheral wall 21 of the spout 20.1 The configuration V-shaped opening of the package 1, at an angle between the legs which is according to the ranges indicated above, which are such that a supply opening 11 of sufficient size of the package 1 is provided, although the angle it is not too large 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 pulling a tissue 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 packing for a stack of tissue papers, the dispensing opening 24 may be more restricted than what is shown in FIG. 2 (a) in order to prevent the 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 dispenser: 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 s can move with respect to a fastening 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 a plate and has a peripheral edge defining a thickness direction of the plate that bifurcates so as to provide opposite lips 33, 34 that have a recess therebetween. 34 have a size such that when the holding 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. That is, 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 in 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 assemble the spout 20 in! the wall of a room, the fastening member 31 adheres to the wall of the room. The dispenser 20 is placed 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 contact 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 extending 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 holding member 31. In this way, the dispenser 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 1 directions left, right and downwards, as one directs to the wall of 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 spider member 31. Fastening 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 can be made to the specific embodiment shown in Figures 3 (a) and 3 (b) 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 spout 20 can be fixed 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 spout is sized to allow an enlarged head of the protruding wedge to stand 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 faces the dispenser 20 and 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 i! 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 wherein relative movements are only possible in a direction opposite to the initial direction of 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 gasket 1 is substantially as described in the foregoing 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 according to the packaging 1. flexes 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 overlapping portion. of the first and second lip members 40, 41.

The first and second lip members 40, 41 are flexible insofar as they are capable of flexing downwardly in the tissue paper removal direction 42 and as they do so, the; first and second lip members 40, 41 move apart in a non-overlapping relationship (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 flexible enough 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 paper removal In addition, the first and second lip members 40, 41 are resilient insofar as, after deformation in the paper extraction direction: silk and in a non-superposed state, they are resiliently deformed in a state of overlap With reference to 4 (c), > the > overlapping 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 tissue papers so that both lips 40, 41 can be observe. 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 a lower face 3 of the package and extends between a front face 7 and a back 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 package 1 so that wrinkling of the silk papers in the width direction of the silk papers during delivery is prevented. The lips of superposition ,! 40, 41 likewise extend substantially along the entire length of the supply opening 11 j which is from a front face wall 7 to a rear face wall 6 of the lower face 3 of the package 1 The lips 40, 41 overlap at opposite ends in a longitudinal direction of the elongated supply opening 11, wherein the overlap extends in the context of the lips 40, 41 which is deformed therein; 42 direction of tissue paper extraction, in a non-overlapping state. 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 superposition 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 removal direction 42. . The non-overlapping portion 44 allows a user to 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 tissue paper through the supply opening 11 and through the 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 overlapping lips 40, 41 are placed in a state of greater overlap when a tissue paper 45 placed between the lip 40 further forward in the direction of removal of tissue paper and a lip 41 less towards front in the direction 42 of removal of tissue paper. 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 as described in the above, 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 (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 delivery opening 11 and protruding from (in the direction 42 of tissue paper removal) 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 opposite sides of the tissue paper 45 which protrudes through the lips 40, 41.

As a user pulls the tissue paper 45 in the silk paper removal direction 42, the lip 40 further forward is deformed in the silk paper removal direction 42, which also places the lips 40, 41 in a non-¡: overlay 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. , because the subsequent tissue paper 46 and the tissue paper 45 supplied are in face-to-face contact. The subsequent tissue 46 advances through the lips 40, 41 so that the tissue 45; it is in contact with the lip placed further forward in the direction 42 of removal of tissue paper and the subsequent tissue 46 is in contact with the lip 41 placed less forward in the direction of extraction 42; of 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 supply opening 11 to such a degree that the next tissue paper 46 in the sequence of tissue removal from the tissue paper stack 10 is brought into contact with the lip 41, the lip 41 is further deformed in the tissue paper removal direction 42 to allow the subsequent tissue paper 46 to be pulled through the first and second lips 40, 41. Once the first tissue paper 45 is pulled completely through the supply opening 1 and lips 40, 41 so that the tissue paper 45 is no longer in contact with any of the lips 40, 41, that tissue paper 45 has been supplied. At this point, the lip 41 falls back to its original state, not deformed, at a slower speed than the lip 40 due to the contact of the tissue paper 46 subsequent thereto. Consequently, the lip 40 placed further forward, more previously, falls back so that it lies behind the lip 41 placed further back in the direction 42 of silk paper extraction. The lips 40, 41 are thus alternated with respect to which of the lips is placed further forward in 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 make contact with 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 contact of opposite sides of tissue paper that is removed by the portions 43 that overlap the overlapping lips 40, 41 is a pinch type contact 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 put in contact with one or the other of the lips 40, 41 but the contact is not for pinching the paper, as silk is extracted. 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 embodiment, the overlapping lips can be applied on either side 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 operated as described in the foregoing with respect to Figures 4 (a) to 4 (c). In order 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 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 stacking of tissue papers 10 has opposite major forces provided at least in part by a first and last tissue paper in a stacking sequence I of the stack of silk papers 10. The package 1 is opened in the supply opening 11 so 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 one direction or lateral, of an opposite major face of the stack of papers i of silk 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 stack 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 in, the interior of the package 1. In the closed configuration of the package 1 before the line 8 of the package is broken. perforation 1, the cover 50 is covered by the package 1 so that the cover 50 is inside the 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 opposing portions 51, 52 of the front face 7 when the package 1 is in the open configuration and a base '. of the triangle defined by the cover 50 is located on the side of the supply opening 11 of the front face 7. In this way, the shape of the cover 50 conforms to the shape of the opening between the opposite portions 51, 52 of the package 1 when package 1 is in the open configuration. The cover 50 in this manner provides an effective dust cover 1 for the entire length of the stack of silk pads 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 to provide a supply opening 11 whose lower face wall 3 of the pack 1, a hinge 9 in the upper face wall 2 of the package 1 and front and rear openings in the package 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 in relation to the the other part 51, 52. The i cover 50 provides a dust cover when package 1 is in the open configuration that covers the stack of tissue papers 10 in the stacking direction of 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 11 shown in Figure 5, a cover 50 can be provided on opposite sides 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 opposing portions 51, 52 of the gasket 1 in 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 exterior of the package 1. Aesthetically, this modification may not be as desirable as that shown in Figure 5 where the cover 50 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, ß and 7 of the package 1. However, the cover 50 can be provided for others 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 side of packaging 1 to show the silk papers on the three sides of 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 part of the package 1 on one side of the opening and is slidable with respect to a part of the package on the other side of the opening and preferably is attached to the inside of the package so that the package covers the cover when the package is in a closed configuration. Preferably, the supply opening shown by a face 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 supply opening. . More preferably, the cover is positioned with respect to, preferably only with respect to the cover of one or both of the stack faces 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 1 comprises a first silk paper 45, a second silk paper 46 and a sequence of additional tissue papers until the last tissue paper 47 which is interfolded to form the stack of tissue papers 10. For any given tissue paper in stack 10 (except for the first and last of the tissue papers 45, 47 in the stacking tissue removal sequence 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 a? I partial longitudinal extension 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 paper of silk 46, is in relation to face of partial overlap 'with a front panel of the following tissue paper in the silk paper of the removal of the tissue paper. In this way, as the tissue paper 45 prior to a tissue paper 46 is removed, the tissue paper 46 travels with it in the direction of removal of the tissue paper as a result of a back panel of the tissue paper. prior to being in a face-to-face overlap relationship with a front panel of a tissue paper 46. Likewise, 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 tissue paper 46 given.

With reference to Figure 6, the front panel 46 'is given that a tissue paper 46 is overlaid with a back panel of a tissue paper prior to the tissue paper removal sequence in a partial extension along the length of the tissue. a longitudinal axis of a tissue paper 46. Likewise, 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 tissue paper. a partial degree along a longitudinal axis of the tissue paper 46. There is thus provided an elongated stack 10 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 they overlap each other in a face-to-face relationship.At the opposite longitudinal edges 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 overlapped with a back panel of a tissue paper 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 therein. the tissue paper removal sequence The overlaying portions of the stacked silk papers 10 correspond to the stacking portion 60 of the stack while the non-overlapping portions of the staple papers in the stack 10 correspond to portions which do not overlap the stack 10 'on 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 approximately 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 the superposition region 61 so that the overlapping 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 stacking 10, according to the prior tissue of the stacking sequence 45 of: tissue paper is removed through the supply opening 11 (as described). previously) of the packaging; 1, the gap provided by the longitudinal extension of the following tissue paper 45 which does not overlap, the second tissue paper 46 is taken. Once the gap is taken and the next tissue paper 45 is drawn through the supply opening 11 to a greater longitudinal extension of the tissue paper 45, the tension along the direction of tissue removal 45 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 tissue paper 45 is withdrawn through the delivery opening so that the entire longitudinal extension of the overlapping portion of the front panel of the given tissue paper 46 protrudes through the delivery opening 11, the The next tissue paper 45 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 relationship with the next tissue paper 48 in, the tissue paper removal sequence can be taken until it reaches a portion of superposition between a tissue paper. face of the 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.

Stacking of tissue papers 10 can be a separate aspect of the present invention. In this manner, the stack 10 can be provided in an alternative type of disposable packaging container G, such as one made of more resistant materials such as metal or rigid plastic as in a wall mountable container. In such a container mountable on a wall, the container is preferably elongated so that its longitudinal axis coincides with a longitudinal axis of the stack 10. Furthermore, a supply opening: of the container 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 delivery 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 silk paper removal direction when the paper removal direction of the silk is aligned with gravity (ie, the longitudinal axis of the stack 10 and the container is ali nean 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 relationship of the extent of a longitudinal extension of the region 60 of overlap of the stack 10 with respect to a longitudinal extension of the stack 10 as a whole has been described above and is about 0.3. Preferably, the ratio as indicated in the above in the summary section, which preferably may 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 nonwoven sheets is in an open configuration in Figure 7 (ai) and is in a closed configuration in Figure 7 (b). 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. Larger faces are provided with upper and lower wall faces ~ 2, 73, smaller faces are; provided by opposed end wall faces 74, 7.5 and intermediate sized faces are provided as opposite front and rear faces 76, 77. The top wall face 72 is characterized by having a supply opening 78 in a central region Of the same. The front face 76 is characterized by having a recess and a stop! 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 lid 81 to the receptacle 71. The opposite end face walls 74, 715 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 !, is open so that the tissue papers can be inserted into the receptacle 77 through its open bottom face 73.

The jet of wet non-woven sheets has a lower part 83 that is removably 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 FIG. Figure 7 (a) and 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 received engageable 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 part 83, lower 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 wet non-woven sheets further comprises a lid 81 which 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! cover 81 defines around its periphery a dependent flange that fits on and off a flange 89¡, vertical extending 'around the periphery of the upper surface 72 of the receptacle 77. The flange 88 dependent on the lid 81 and the vertical flange 89 extends around the periphery of the upper surface 72 of the receptacle 71 is coupled in a manner sealing one with the other, with the edge 88 dependent on the cap 81 peripherally positioned outside the vertical flange 89 of the receptacle 71. Referring to FIG. 7 (b), the upper surface 90 of the spout 1: wet non-woven sheet is uniform and continue for easy cleaning.

The jet opening 78 of the upper surface 72 of the receptacle 71 is partially closed by an insert 91 which extends around the delivery opening and which has fins 92 projecting inwardly separated by slots 93. The fins are circumferentially distributed around them. of a central hole through which the tissue paper passes through the outlet of the supply opening 78 and the 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 dispenser 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! supply 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 paper to be removed. by compression and remain inside the receptacle 71. After the tissue paper has been removed, the lid 81 can be closed again so that the tab 80 deforms outwardly to allow it to pass over a retainer and then re-acquire its shape resiliently inward 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 vertical peripheral flange 89 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. Likewise, the '91 insert can be made of a rubber-like material to allow the fins 92 to change resiliently and also to seal the supply opening 78.

When a replacement piling of the wet non-woven sheets is to be inserted into the receptacle 71 of the spout 70 of wet non-woven sheets, 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 on 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 in a sealant-like manner with the walls of the front, rear 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 of 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 can 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 is 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 from 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 non-woven sheets can be made to have a flat lower surface in order to allow it to rest on a back cover so that the plane of the upper surface 72 and the plane of the cover 90 have I a substantially flat surface (in relation to the back cover) that is oriented upward 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 non-woven sheet can be removed. Other types are known in the art. 91 resilient inserts. 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 tongue The lip is retained on the tongue to thereby secure the spout 70 of wet non-woven sheets in the closed configuration.
