TISSUE CONTAINER FilPd July 14, 1932 Patented Mar. 27, 1934 UNITED STATES This invention relates to an improved tissue container and is particularly adapted for use in conjunction with paper handkerchiefs and the like.
- permit withdrawal of the contents.
Another object of the invention is to provide a tissue container which may be formed of a single blank which will be reinforced so that it will be strong and durable.
A further object of the invention is to provide a tissue container .wherein the tissue carried therein will be folded in such a manner that the withdrawal of one handkerchief will present a protion of a succeeding handkerchief to an opening for withdrawal.
And a still further object of the invention is to provide a tissue container which will be characterized by simplicity and efliciency and which may be manufactured cheaply so that quantity production without the sacrifice of quality may be had.
Other and incidental objects of the invention, not specifically mentioned in the foregoing, will be apparent during the course of the following description.

Referring now more particularly to the accompanying drawing, the numeral 1 indicates, in
general, a container which is formed of a single blank, preferably of cardboard. When assembling the container the blank, shown in Figure 6,

PATENT OFFICE TISSUE CONTAINER Charles A. MacGregor, Kooskia, ldaho Application July 14,1932, Serial No. 622,514 1 Claim. (Cl. 206-57) is folded to define a top wall 2, a bottom wall 3, bottom flaps 4 and 5, end walls 6 and side walls 7. The end walls 6 are provided at their ends with pairs of tongues 8 and 9, the end wall carrying the tongues 8 being projected to form a flap 6o 10. The bottom wall 3 is also projected to form As best shown in Figure 4 of the drawing, the pairs of tongues 8 and 9 are folded inwardly and lie against the inner face of the side walls '7. The flap 11 is folded to extend at right angles to the wall 3 and terminates against the wall 2, while the flap 10 is folded to overlie the lower face of the wall 3 at the end thereof. It will be seen that a double end wall is provided for the container. The bottom- flaps 4 and 5 are folded toward each other to overlie the wall 3 and the flap 10, and said flaps 4 and 5 are glued or otherwise secured to the wall 3 and to said flap 10.
The completed container is normally provided with a covering of cellophane, indicated by the numeral 11'.
The top wall 2 of the container is provided near one side thereof with a transverse slit 12 the ends of which are curved laterally in spaced relation to the adjacent end walls of said container to define a-path of substantially U-shaped outline. The top wall 2 of said container is also provided with a crease or fold line 13 which extends in a straight path between and connects the laterally curved ends of the slit to form a tongue or flap 14, hereinafter to be described in detail. A string 15 is carried beneath the wall 2 of the container and has a portion thereof extending through the cellophane cover 11'. If desired, the
cellophane cover may be so folded that the seam thereof will be disposed immediately above one end of the slit so that the portion of string may pass through said cover at said seam. The other end of said string projects beneath the flap l4 and is anchored at the opposite end of the slit so that when it is desired initially to open the container, the string may be engaged and pulled through the slit, the slit providing a guide so that the tongue or flap 14 will be freed. The flap may then be lifted to permit ready access to the interior of the container througha slot 1'7 defined by said flap. It should be understood that the tongue or flap 14 will be folded back along the crease 13. The string is provided at its end with a tab 16 to facilitate manual engagement.
Normally carried in the container are handkerchiefs 18 which are preferably formedv of a light-weight, relatively thin paper, such as the well-known tissue paper. As best seen in Figure '7 of the drawing, the handkerchiefs are folded dirt at all times.
to a substantially Z shape and are provided with short top portions 19 and. long bottom portions 20. The handkerchiefs are interfolded by extending the lower ends of the portions 20 of one handkerchief beneath the short portion 19 of the next succeeding handkerchief. In this manner, when one handkerchief is withdrawn from the container a portion of the next one will be presented so that they may be conveniently grasped and removal thereof readily efi'ected. To facilitate the starting of a handkerchief more readily, I provide a pull tab 21 which is of substantial Z-shaped fold and is interfolded with the first, 01 top, handkerchief. The upper portion of the pull tab may have the word pull" or some other suitable indicia printed thereon.
It will readily be understood that little or no difliculty will be encountered in withdrawing the handkerchiefs from the container.
Attention is directed to the fact that after the desired number of handkerchiefs have been withdrawn, the flap 14 may be swung downwardly on the fold line 13 so as to close the slot 17 and keep the remainder of the handkerchiefs within the container ina sanitary condition. It will thus be seen that the handkerchiefs within the container will be protected from moisture and The cellophane cover protects the container so that soiling of the container is prevented.
It will be readily seen from the foregoing that I have provided a simple and highly efficient tissue container.
Having thus described the invention, I claim:-
A handkerchief container comprising a flat substantially rectangular shallow box including integral bottom, top, side and end walls, the top of the box being provided with a transverse slit disposed adjacent to and parallel with one of the side walls of the box, said slit having its opposite ends terminating short of the adjacent end walls of the box and extended laterally in the direction of saidside wall, the ends of the lateral extensions of the slit being connected by a initially cutting the cover at said slit, the other end of thepull string being extended through the top of the box and said cover at the other laterally extended end of the slit and provided with a terminal finger engaging tab bearing against the cover adjacent one end of the top of the box.
CHARLES A. MACGREGOR.
