Accordingly, disposable tissues can be supplied through the small opening in a consecutive manner.

Description

APPARATUS FOR CONSECUTIVE SUPPLY OF DISPOSABLE FABRICS AND PROCESS OF SUPPLY OF DISPOSABLE FLOPS USING SUCH APPARATUS BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a package for the supply of disposable tissues. The present invention relates more particularly to packages for the consecutive supply of disposable tissues, in which the disposable tissues are provided in individual sheets, and can be supplied consecutively by the upper part, when the previous disposable tissue is removed. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Disposable handkerchiefs are well known in the art. Disposable handkerchiefs, such as facial tissues, are normally used to blow the nose, for various cleaning tasks, etc. Disposable handkerchiefs can also be used as paper towels to dry, clean, etc. Disposable handkerchiefs, and their package, must be inexpensive and disposable, to be widely accepted by the consumer. Disposable tissues may be provided dry, perfumed, or wet. Said disposable tissues are provided in rectangular form, and in separate sheets. Disposable handkerchiefs are usually provided in a box or supplier with parallelepiped shape. The supplier has an opening, which is usually at the top, through which the user can extract the sheets individually. The first providers of disposable tissues were the "one-for-one type of supply". The user had to introduce his fingers, through the supply opening, take a disposable handkerchief, and pull it out of the supply opening. The examples of the one-for-one suppliers and the improvement thereof can be found in U.S. Patent No. 3,021,002 issued February 13, 1962, to Guyer; commonly assigned U.S. Patent No. 3,576,243 issued April 27, 1971, issued to Trunick; and U.S. Patent No. 4,458,810 issued July 10, 1984, issued to Mahoney. Over time, the desire to increase the advantages in the form of supply, has led to obtain suppliers consecutively. In a "back-to-back" provider, a disposable tissue normally extends through the supply opening to a height greater than that of the supply package. The user simply takes the exposed part of the disposable handkerchief, without it being necessary for him to insert his fingers through the supply opening. Normally the lower part of a first sheet of the disposable handkerchief will be supplied covering, in part, the upper end of the next disposable handkerchief sheet to be supplied. The overlap is generally designed parallel to the direction in which the disposable tissues are removed through the opening of the supply. The overlap is usually, but not necessarily, the same and constant across the width of each of the disposable tissues. As the first disposable handkerchief sheet is removed by the user, the upper part of the next disposable handkerchief sheet is exposed through the opening, to be subsequently supplied. Normally, the consecutive extraction of the next disposable handkerchief, through the opening of the supply, occurs due to the fact that the adjacent disposable tissues are folded inside. Disposable handkerchiefs are folded against each other in a variety of configurations, so that the friction made by the lower part of the extracted sheet against the next sheet causes the upper part of the next sheet to be displayed through the opening of supply. Examples of the different placements of disposable tissues folded in the interior are found in US Patents Nos. 3,007,605 issued November 7, 1961, issued to Donovan.; 3, 172,563 issued March 9, 1965, granted to Harwood; 3,679,094 and 3,679,095, both issued on July 25, 1972, granted to Nissen y Asociados; 3,881, 632 commonly assigned issued on May 6, 1975, granted to Early and Associates; 4,859,518 issued on August 22, 1989, granted to Schutz; and 5, 1 18,554 issued on June 2, 1992, granted to Chan y Asociados. However, the apparatuses for placing disposable tissues folded inside are both expensive and complex. The purchase of these devices represents a significant outlay of capital, which finally has to be paid by the consumer of disposable tissues folded inside. Even when the folding inside the disposable tissues is carried out correctly, the disposable tissue that is to be supplied falls back through the supply opening. This problem becomes more serious, with relatively high supply packages, which are often preferred by the consumer, because they are packages with economic designs. The normal height of the supply packs is often limited to the length of the overlap of the disposable tissues that are folded inside. This limitation occurs, because the upper and lower ends of the adjacent disposable tissues are folded into a packet higher than the overlap, and cause the second sheet of disposable tissues to fall back into the package. , the problem that the disposable tissues fall back into the package, result in additional costs when it comes to supplying disposable tissues folded inside. For example, the previous art suggests a design in the supply opening, to avoid that this supply is incorrect. Still other projects within the art, have an adhesive placed on the film, which delineates the supply opening. Still other additional projects in the art, replace the film by paper, for reasons of environmental conservation. Of course, said film, adhesive, and paper all represent additional costs which ultimately affect the price to the consumer of disposable tissues that are folded inside. Examples of such projects in the art are described in U.S. Patent Nos. 3,007,605 issued November 7, 1961, issued to Donovan; 3,239,097 issued on March 8, 1966, granted to Bates y Asociados; 4,200,200 issued on April 29, 1980, granted to Hein, I II and Associates; 4,681, 240 issued July 21, 1987, granted to Wyant; and 5,316, 177 issued on May 31, 1994, granted to Boldt. The projects to improve the supply packages consecutively, also include the union of the disposable tissues to the removable upper part of the box, so that, at the moment of April the box, the first disposable handkerchief is extracted through the opening of supply. Still another project within the art, provides an overlapping eyebrow, which sustains constantly, partially supplied leaves, to prevent them from falling back into the box. An improvement that was successful in the market, is the double supply package, which allows the supply either, consecutively or one by one. Examples of such projects within the art include U.S. Patent Nos. 2,890,791 issued June 16, 1959, issued to Wenzel; 4,574,952 issued on March 1, 1986, granted to Masui; and 4,623,074 commonly assigned, issued on November 18, 1986, granted to Dearwester. A problem that is frequently found in the supply packages in a consecutive form of prior art, is the transition of the supply form one by one, in which the product is converted to the consecutive supply form, which is preferred by the consumer. The supply opening must be large enough to allow the consumer's fingers to reach for the disposable tissue, and in this way, begin the supply process. However, the supply opening must be small enough to compress the disposable tissues, so that a disposable tissue can be separated from the following ones. A project to satisfy the diametrically opposed needs of the large and small supply openings has been to design a supply opening which is self-winding. In these projects, the large and small supply openings are connected between them in such a way that the smaller supply opening is adjacent to the larger opening. In these projects, the user reaches for the disposable handkerchief, through the opening of the longer supply, extracts it through said opening of supply, and is united within the smaller supply opening. Subsequently, the user separates the disposable tissue he took, the next. When the next disposable handkerchief is needed, it is also stocked and separated from the one that follows. A significant drawback of this project is that the smaller openings do not provide enough friction with the disposable tissues to prevent them from falling back into the package. This problem is aggravated by packages that are relatively high, which are often what the consumer prefers, due to the economic design of the packages. The normal height of the supply package is often limited to the length of the overlap of the disposable tissues that are folded inside. If disposable handkerchiefs are not folded inside, but are connected rather by means of perforations, the disposable handkerchief compartment in the highest package will eventually be empty, or about to be emptied. Since many disposable handkerchiefs remain at the bottom of a package of disposable tissues, a large part of the disposable tissues will hang from the supply opening to the top of the compartment at the bottom of the package. When this happens, the weight of the part of tissues that is left free increases, making it more likely that the friction movement with the supply opening will be insufficient to prevent the next disposable tissue from falling back into the tissue. supply package. When the handkerchiefs fall back into the package, the user has the difficulty not only of having to reach the disposable handkerchief through the opening of the supply, and start the entire supply process consecutively, but also, due to that the disposable handkerchief is under the supply opening, has a fall very close to the bottom of the supply package. Another project in art, uses small and large openings, at the ends of a part that is similar to an opening. This particular project has the disadvantage that the shape of both openings is round. Examples of such projects in the art, include US Patents Nos. 4,328,907 issued May 1, 1982, granted to Beard; and 4,848,575 issued on July 18, 1989, granted to Nakamura y Asociados. Still other projects in the art, show a box of disposable tissues that have three openings, an opening oriented longitudinally, which originates from a large opening, and which ends in lateral openings. The longitudinal opening, is surrounded by two openings in peripheral form, in order to create joints. The drawback of this design is that the long wings that are formed by means of the joints occupy an excessively large area in the upper part of the supply package. Still another teaching in the art, shows an opening of supply of transition, until a simple opening, which is crossed with a second opening transversely to it. However, this teaching does not show how to optimize the openings related to each other, or related to the rest of the supply opening. Examples of such projects in the art include U.S. Patents Nos. 4,526,291 issued July 2, 1985, granted to Margulies, and 5,219,421 issued June 15, 1993, granted to Tipping. It can be appreciated that there is a need in the art for a portable, lightweight disposable tissue packet, which provides the convenience of the supply in a consecutive manner. It can be further appreciated that there is a need in the art for a package of handkerchiefs. Disposable that allows a consecutive supply of them, but also prevents disposable handkerchiefs from falling back into the boxes through the opening of supply. Furthermore, it can be appreciated in the art that there is a need for a relatively high package, which allows a supply in a consecutive manner, without allowing the disposable tissues to fall back into the box through the supply opening.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS Figure 1 is a perspective view of a supply pack and disposable tissue according to the present invention. Figure 2 is a plan view of the adjacent disposable tissues, releasably attached, by means of three fragile portions. Figure 3 is a plan view of a first embodiment of a supply opening according to the present invention; Figure 4 is a plan view of a second embodiment of a supply opening according to the present invention; invention, where the isthmic connection comprises a single point. Figure 5 is a plan view of a third embodiment of a supply opening according to the present invention, wherein the lobes do not converge at a common point.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention comprises a supply opening for a load of disposable tissues. The supply opening comprises a first opening and a second smaller opening, placed separately from the first opening. The first and second openings, are connected by means of an isthmic connection, and are in communication with each other. The isthmic connection has two opposite ends, one end being juxtaposed with each of the openings. The isthmic connection may comprise an opening. The first large opening may have a tapered side with a cusp, whose cusp may be juxtaposed with one end of the isthmic connection. The second smaller opening can be tapered, so that the sides of the second opening converge as they approach the end of the thermal connection, which is juxtaposed, with the second opening. The second opening, generally can be in the form of an arc, and oriented concavely towards the end of the isthmic connection, which is juxtaposed with the second opening. More particularly, the second opening can comprise two segments, each of said segments being a mirror image of the other segment and being symmetrical at the end of the isthmic connection, which is juxtaposed with the second opening. A user can supply at least partially a first disposable handkerchief through the first opening gramde. The first disposable handkerchief is detachably attached to the second, or adjacent to the next disposable handkerchief. Subsequently, the user can extract, all or part of the first disposable handkerchief, through the isthmic connection, until the second and smallest opening, later extracting the second disposable handkerchief through the supply opening. The first disposable handkerchief is separated after the second disposable handkerchief. The second disposable handkerchief, which has been separated from the first, will remain at least partially, within the second opening. In another embodiment, the present invention comprises a pack of disposable handkerchiefs, which contains a combination of a supply pack and disposable handkerchiefs. The package of disposable tissues comprises a supply package having at least one generally flat wall. A supply opening is placed on the wall, generally flat. The supply opening comprises two openings arranged in spaced form, a first large opening, and a second smaller opening, the first and second openings being connected by means of an isthmic connection. The isthmic connection is formed by two lobes in the wall, generally in a flat form, one of said lobes being on either side of the isthmic connection. Each of the lobes is placed flown from a fixed end and extends to a free end, which is distant from the fixed end, so that the free ends of the lobes define the sides of the isthmic connection. A load of disposable tissues is placed inside the supply package. Each disposable handkerchief is detachably attached to an adjacent disposable handkerchief. The first disposable handkerchief can be supplied by the user, through the first larger opening, and transferred at least partially, until the second opening, through the isthmian connection. Subsequently, the first disposable handkerchief is removed from the package and easily separated from the adjacent disposable handkerchief. After separation of the first disposable handkerchief, the adjacent disposable handkerchief remains substantially in the same position, relative to the supply opening.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Referring to Figure 1, the package of disposable tissues 10, in accordance with the present invention, comprises a combination of a supply package 12, and disposable tissues joined in releasable form 14. The supply package 12, it can have walls, and be of a generally parallelepiped shape. The supply pack 12 has at least one generally flat wall 15, with a supply opening 16, therein. A plurality of disposable tissues 14 are placed in the supply pack 12. By examining in more detail, the supply pack 12 may have separate walls. The walls preferably define an upper part 21, a part of the bottom, a front side and a rear side 26, and right and left sides 27. Preferably, the supply opening 16 intercepts the upper part 21, which can match the generally flat wall 15, which was mentioned above. The height of the supply pack 12 is generally designed only in the event that the detachment force of the adhesion means in removable form is overcome by the weight of the disposable tissues 14, between the adhesion means in removable form and the load of disposable tissues 14, which lie under said adhesion means. As the supply package 12, it becomes higher in the vertical direction and increases the weight of the free-hanging disposable tissues 14, the supply opening 16, it should be more limiting to prevent the disposable tissues 14, when supplied, from falling back into the supply package 12. Moreover, to the extent that the disposable tissues 14 become thicker, the area of the supply opening 16 should increase in order to allow the disposable tissues 14, to be supplied therethrough.
An adequate supply package 12 can be made in accordance with the teachings of the commonly assigned U.S. Patents Nos. 4,623,174 issued November 18, 1986, to Dearwester, or 5,379,897 issued January 10, 1995, issued to Muckenfuhs and Associates, which are incorporated herein by reference, having noted that the supply openings described in the aforementioned patents are not suitable to illustrate the opening of supply 16, in accordance with the present invention. The tissue pack 10 according to the present invention can be either disposable or rechargeable. By "disposable" is meant, that the supply package 12 is intended to be discarded, after they are consumed, the plurality of disposable tissues 14 found therein. The supply pack 12 is not intended to be refilled with disposable tissues 14. In the same manner, each disposable handkerchief 14 is discarded after use, and is not washed or otherwise restored. By "rechargeable", it is understood that the supply package 12 is or can be refilled with disposable tissues 14, after said package has been emptied. The package of tissues 10, can also be lightweight. By "light", it is understood that the supply package 12, is conveniently portable, and has no deadweight added specifically to it. The supply opening 15 has a first size, which is related to the disposable tissues 14. The first size is designed to compress the disposable tissues 14, as they are extracted by the user, through the supply opening 16 It is considered that the disposable tissues 14, are "compressed", when they must touch the walls 15, 21, which are crossed by the supply opening 16, when being removed by the user. . Disposable handkerchiefs 14, can be made according to the commonly assigned US Patent No. 4, 191, 609, issued March 4, 1980, issued to Trokhan, or US Patent No. 5,332,118 issued on July 26, 1994, granted to Muckenfuhs, which are incorporated herein by reference, for the purpose of showing the process of making disposable handkerchiefs 14, suitable for use with the present invention. It will be understood that disposable handkerchiefs 14 can be either wet or dry. An expert in the art will recognize that the supply pack 12 will be waterproof, in the event that the disposable tissues 14 are wet. It is considered that a disposable scarf 14, has been "supplied through" the supply opening 16, when it passes at least partially, from the interior of the supply package 12, to the outside of the supply package 12. , either because the consumer reaches and takes the disposable handkerchief 14, or because the disposable handkerchief 14, is supplied consecutively through the supply opening 16, by carrying the disposable handkerchief 14 previously removed by the user. A disposable handkerchief 14 is considered to be "removed", after it passes completely from the inside of the supply opening 16, to the outside of the supply opening 16, and no portion or end of the disposable handkerchief 14, remains within the supply pack 12. Referring to Figure 2, each disposable handkerchief 14 is releasably attached to both adjacent disposable handkerchiefs 14, by any means of adhesion in removable form, which allows for easy separation, which occurs , when the disposable handkerchief 14 is being supplied, or after the disposable handkerchief 14, is withdrawn through the supply opening 16. The adhesion means in removable form, can comprise the attachment of the disposable handkerchief 14 to the disposable handkerchiefs adjacent 14, by means of a soft adhesive for the skin. A suitable adhesive is supplied by Findley Adhesives Inc. of Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, as product No. H9087-05. By "releasably attached", it is understood that each disposable handkerchief 14, is easily separated from the adjacent handkerchiefs 14, and may include adhesion means in removable form, such as friction, cohesion, or other means, which unite in shape Detachable adjacent disposable tissues 14, Preferably, each disposable tissue 14 is removably attached to an adjacent disposable tissue 14, by means of a plurality of fragile portions 18. As used herein, "portion" is Referring to a small separate connection, by means of large cuts, which attaches the adjacent disposable tissues 14, the portions 18 are considered to be "fragile", when one of the disposable tissues 14 is separated from an adjacent disposable tissue 14 Tension, portions 18, are broken before cutting or tearing significantly any of the disposable tissues 14. Disposable tissues 14, can n be connected by means of a plurality of portions 18. In a particularly preferred embodiment, the disposable tissues 14, are detachably attached, by means of three fragile portions 18 arranged separately, a central portion 18, and two portions 18. outside. Each of the outer portions 18 is juxtaposed with one end of the disposable handkerchief 14. The central portion 18 is between the outer portions 18, and is preferably positioned in the center relative to the outer portions 18. The placement of the three portions 18, provides control for both the center, and for each of the ends of the disposable tissues 14, using a minimum of tension force, which is necessary to separate a disposable handkerchief 14 from an adjacent disposable handkerchief 14. With reference to Figure 3, the supply opening 16, comprises a first and second opening 20, 22 placed separately, connected by means of a isthmic connection 24. The isthmic connection 24 allows the communication of the disposable tissues 14, from the first opening 20 to the second opening 22 and vice versa. The first opening 20 has an area larger than the second opening 22. A suitable first opening 20 may generally have a rectangular shape, having dimensions of from about 10 centimeters to about 3 centimeters. The first opening 20, can be juxtaposed with the large end of the supply pack 12, as shown, with the short end of the supply pack 12, with a corner thereof, or it can be placed in any other suitable position that is want. The first opening 20, which is larger, may have a tapered side 26. The tapered side 26 terminates at a cusp 28. This placement allows a disposable handkerchief 14 to be taken by the wearer through the large opening 20, is passed through the taper 26, towards the cusp 28. In this way, the disposable handkerchief 14, can be joined from the large opening 20, through the isthmic connection 24, towards the smaller opening 22. If the pack of disposable tissues 10, has a rotating lid, preferably the tapered side 26 of the first opening 20, is oriented outwardly from the articulation of said lid. This placement allows the disposable handkerchief 14 to be extracted laterally in the direction having a vector component parallel to the wall generally in a flat shape 15, since the disposable handkerchief 14 is not removed through the handkerchief. the large opening 20, and subsequently it is separated from an adjacent disposable scarf 14. If a disposable scarf 14 is separated from an adjacent disposable scarf 14, without crossing at least partially the isthmic connection 24, and / or the second opening 22, the next disposable handkerchief 14 will probably fall back into the supply pack 12, and will have to be retrieved by the user with difficulty. If the first opening 20 has a tapered side 26, preferably the isthmic connection 24, it crosses the first opening 20 on the tapered side 26, and more preferably at the cusp 28 on the tapered side 26. This placement is critical, in that allows the user to pass without difficulty and accurately, the disposable handkerchief 14 from the first opening 20 to the second opening 22. The placement shown in the figures is a generally preferred embodiment, in which the isthmic connection 24 and the cusp 28 , are generally placed in the same line where the isthmic connection 24, crosses the cusp 28. The isthmic connection 24, is considered that "they are placed in the same line", with the tapered side 26 when in the cusp 28, the sector perpendicular double PB of the tapered side 26 of the first opening 20 and the isthmic connection 24, are generally in parallel form. This placement is critical, because it allows a more natural transition of a disposable handkerchief 14, since it is transferred from the first opening 20, within the isthmic connection 24, for the subsequent transfer to the second opening 22. Examining the connection isthmus 24 in more detail, this has two opposite ends 241, 242. The first end 241 of the isthmic connection 24, is juxtaposed with the first opening 20. If the first opening 20 has a tapered side 26, the first end 241 of the connection isthmic 24, is juxtaposed with the first opening 20, where the isthmic connection 24 crosses the cusp 28. Preferably the isthmic connection 24, is relatively short, and more preferably straight, since the disposable tissues 14, are not cut or separated, while being transferred through the isthmic connection 24. The isthmic connection 24, may comprise an opening. An "opening" means a division between two pieces of material, which are otherwise contiguous, wherein the opposite sides of the cut are in contact with the opening that has not been formed by the transfer of the material. Alternatively, and less preferably, the isthmic connection 24 may comprise a narrow passage, wherein the opposite sides do not contact. The second end 242 of the isthmic connection 24, is juxtaposed with the second opening 22, so that the disposable tissues can be transferred from the first opening 20 to the second opening 22 through the isthmic connection 24. If the second opening 22 is formed irregularly, or has a part which is more limited to the disposable tissues 14, which are being supplied through it, preferably the second end 242 of the isthmic connection 24, crosses the second opening 22, in a part more limited to prevent the disposable handkerchief 14 from falling back into the supply pack 12. By examining the second opening 22 in more detail, it can have any suitable shape, and comprises a smaller area than the first larger opening 20. It is critical that the second opening 22 has a smaller area than the first opening 20, so that the disposable tissues 14, which are supplied s from the disposable handkerchief pack 10, after the first disposable handkerchief 14 has been removed, it does not fall back into the supply pack 12. The first opening 20, only serves to allow the user to take the disposable handkerchief 14. , closer to the supply opening 16. The second opening 22, can generally have an arc shape. As used in the present description, the term "arc-shaped" refers to both shapes that have no symmetrical center lines, which have an edge made by curvilinear elements, as well as shapes that do not have centerlines symmetrical, which have an edge elaborated by means of relatively short rectilinear elements, which are contiguous and end in a cusp, to resemble a generally curvilinear stroke, whose shapes are similar to a bow. The arc shape of the second opening 22 may be oriented concavely towards the isthmic connection 24, and more particularly concavely towards the second end 242 of the isthmic connection 24, which is juxtaposed with the second opening 22. A The person skilled in the art will recognize that if the isthmic connection 24 is relatively short, and the first opening 20 is positioned entirely opposite the isthmic connection 24, and outside the second opening 22, the second opening 22 is arched , it can also be in concave shape oriented towards the cusp 28 of the tapered side 26, of the first opening 20. This positioning is critical, for the correct supply of the disposable tissues 14, and particularly for disposable tissues 14, joined by means of a plurality of portions 18. As the disposable tissues 14 are removed through the second aperture 22, the convex side of the second aperture 22, provides an ac smoothing ion, preventing premature separation of the first disposable tissue 14 from the adjacent disposable tissue 14. Once the next adjacent tissue 14, has been supplied at least partially, through the second opening 22, then the second disposable tissue 14 it can be easily separated from the first disposable tissue 14. The second opening 22, can be divided into two parts to form two segments 222. Each of the two segments 222, can be a mirror image of the other, and can be symmetrically opposed, and is divided into two parts by the isthmic connection 24, or an extension thereof. If the isthmic connection 24, is formed irregularly, preferably the two segments 222 of the second opening 22, then are symmetrical near the end 242 of the isthmic connection 24, which is juxtaposed with the second opening 22. Preferably the two sides of each segment 222, of the second opening 22, converge at the second end 242, of the isthmic connection 24. More preferably, the sides of each segment 222 of the second opening 22, converge at a point 30, as the second end approaches 242 of the isthmic connection 24. This placement is critical, because it provides three points of contact 30, at a single point, as described below, where the isthmic connection 24, is coincident with the convergence of the two segments 222 of the second opening 22. The isthmic connection 24, can be defined by two lobes 34 in the generally flat wall 15, A lobe 34, is on each side of the isthmic connection 24. The lobes 34 are placed flown from a fixed end, and extend towards a free end 36, which is distant from the fixed end of the lobes 34. The free end 36 of the lobes 34 defines the isthmic connection 24. The lobes 34 are preferably tapered, because the cross section of the lobes 34, decreases as the isthmic connection approaches, taking the cross section in a plane parallel with the isthmic connection 24. The free end 36 of each lobe 34, has two ends laterals of the lobe 361, 362, which are juxtaposed with the first opening 20, and with the second opening 22, respectively. If the first opening 20 has a tapered side 26, the first side end of the lobe 361 is preferably juxtaposed with the tapered side 26, and more preferably with the cusp 28 of the tapered side 26. In the same manner, the second side end The lobe 362 is juxtaposed with the second opening 22. If the second opening 22 has two segments 222, the second side end of the lobe 362 is preferably placed intermediate in the two segments 222. The lobes 34 are preferably not collinear to each other. By "they are not collinear muatuamente", it is understood that the center lines CL of the lobes 34 intersect at an angle at a coincident point, or between the free ends 36 of the lobes 34. The "center line" of the lobe 34, is the line which has an end point on the free end 36, at the center, between the lateral ends of the lobe 361, 362. The central line CL extends towards the fixed end of the lobe 34, and is placed at all times, in the middle between the first and the second opening 20, 22. The fact that the lobes 34 are not collinear to each other. , is determined by the three free ends 36 thereof, or by an extension of the center lines CL, if the free ends 36 of the lobes 34, are not adjacent. If the lobes 34 are not coplanar, the center lines CL of the lobes 34 are projected to a common plane, since it can be determined that they are not collinear to each other. If the sides of the segments 222 of the second opening 22 converge to a common point 30, even more preferably, the second side end of the lobe 362 is coincident with the common point 30, where the segments 222 of the second opening converge 22. This common point 30, additionally may be coincident with the second end 242 of the isthmic connection 24. This placement is considered critical to provide three contact points 30, so that a disposable tissue 14 to be supplied, is not fall back into the supply pack 12. The disposable handkerchief 14, is captured between at least one of the lobes 34, and between at least one of the segments 222 of the supply opening, minimizing the possibility of the handkerchief disposable is dropped back into the supply package 12. This placement additionally ensures, that a disposable handkerchief 14, partially transferred through the isthmic connection 24, and in the second opening 22, be commonly placed in both of the segments 222 of the second opening 22, and the isthmic connection 24, so as to hold firmly the second disposable handkerchief 14 in place, even after the disposable handkerchief 14, has been separated from the next disposable handkerchief 14. Preferably, the lobes 34 are integral with the wall generally in flat form 15. By "integral", it is meant that the lobes 34, are made at the same time, and with the same material as the wall generally in flat form 15, being rather joined to it later, in the form of separate components. This positioning allows each lobe 34 to act as a spring, and independently of the lobe 34, so that the lobes 34 can flex in response to the supply of the disposable tissues 14, through the isthmic connection 24, or the second opening 22. In the operation, the disposable tissues 14 can be supplied from the package of disposable tissues 10, according to the procedure that follows. The user inserts his fingers, through the first opening 20, and partially supplies a first disposable handkerchief 14 therethrough. The first disposable handkerchief 14, is transferred at least partially, from the first opening 20, through the isthmic connection 24, to the second opening 22. One skilled in the art will understand that the transfer can not be completed because that the disposable handkerchief 14 has a larger area than either the isthmic connection 24 or the second opening 22, and in fact, is usually larger than the first opening 20. The first disposable handkerchief 14 is removed from the package of disposable handkerchiefs 10 through the isthmic connection 24 and the second opening 22. The first disposable handkerchief 14 is subsequently separated from the adjacent or next disposable handkerchief. The first disposable handkerchief 14 can be separated by detachment of the fragile portions 18 by overcoming the adhesive forces if the disposable handkerchiefs 14 are adhesively bonded, or exceed the tensile force of any other adhesion means in removable form, the which can be selected. In the present invention, some variations are possible. For example, referring to Figure 4, the first opening 20, may have a tapered side 26, with a cusp 28, connected directly to the second opening 22. In this placement, the isthmic connection 24, is simply the point connection between the free ends 36 of the lobes 34. This placement can be visualized through each taper of the lobes 34, until the first and second side ends of the lobe 361, 362, converge to a single point at the end free 36 of lobe 34.
The second opening 22 can be provided with more than two segments 222. This placement simply provides an additional segment as illustrated by 223, through which portions of the disposable tissues 14 can be supplied, and does not oppose to the importance of having part of the second opening 22, which converges towards the tangency point 30, between the second end 242 of the isthmic connection 24, and the second opening 22. With reference to Figure 5, the opening of supply 16, need not be juxtaposed with the longer end of the supply pack 12. The supply opening 16 may be juxtaposed with the shorter end of the supply pack 12 with a corner thereof, or in any other suitable configuration, including , the side, front or back walls 26, 27. As illustrated in Figure 5, the first opening 20, may be formed asymmetrically, with respect to In addition, the free ends 36 of the lobes 34 do not need to coincide at a common point 30. Said placement provides an isthmic connection 24, which crosses the large opening 20 in the first end 241 and the small opening 22 at the second end 242. Said placement provides a second opening 22, which comprises three different segments 222, 223, where a central segment 223 is inatercalated between two larger segments 22, outside the same. This positioning has the advantage that each lobe 34 makes contact with the other lobe 34 and makes contact independently with the side of the second opening 22. Each lobe 34 contacts the side of the second opening 22 in a separate position where the other lobe 34 makes contact with the side of the second opening 22. It has been discovered, that this placement is advantageous. All the variations are within the scope of the claims that follow.
