As shown on the drawings:
This invention concerns a tissue dispenser and litter container indicated generally at it The container 10 includes a shell or shell portion 11 and a base or base portion 12. The shell 11 and base 12 are provided with main and elevated sections 13 and I4 and in this regard it will be noted the elevated section is mounted on top of the main section 13.
The main section 13 is cooperable with the base 12 in defining a tissue box enclosure 15. Disposed within the tissue box enclosure 15 is a tissue box 16, as shown in FIGURE 3.
The rear end of the main section 13 and the base 12 are cooperable with the elevated section 14 in defining a litter enclosure 17.
The main section 13 has a tissue box inlet 18 as well as a tissue outlet 19, the tissue outlet being disposed at the top side or along the top surface of the main section 13. The tissue box inlet 18 is shown as being disposed at the front end of the container 1d and it will be appreciated that it also could be disposed at other suitable locations such as in either of the main section side walls 13a-13a defining the tissue box enclosure 15 or in the main section top wall 13b of the tissue box enclosure 15.
The elevated section 14- is provided with a litter inlet 20 at its top side. This inlet is open at all times so that soiled tissues and other trash may be dropped into the litter enclosure 17.
The container It is further provided with a panel or door or cap indicated generally at 21. The closure panel 21 acts as closure means for the main section 13 as well as the elevated section 14 at the rear end of the container. In this respect it will be appreciated from a consideration of FIGURE 1 that the main section 13 is of a greater transverse dimension than the elevated section 14' and that the closure panel or cap or door 21 is generally T-shaped.
The closure panel 21 is provided with means to enable it to be snapped onto the container which means includes cap or panel flanges 21a, 21b and 21c. The cap flange 21a is adapted to rest on top of elevated section side walls 1441-1411 which protrude rearwardly beyond the main section 13. The side cap flanges 21b and 210 are adapted to snap over and frictionally engage with the extended ends of the elevated section side walls 14a14a as indicated at 14a;
In summary, the tissue box 16 is adapted for insertion into the tissue box enclosure 15. The base 12 is provided with stop means 22 for centering the tissue box discharge opening 16a with respect to the tissue outlet 19. The soiled tissues can be dropped into the inlet 20 of the elevated section 14. When the litter enclosure 17 becomes full, it may be emptied by pulling the cap 21 free of the elevated section side walls 14a, 14a. After the trash is dumped from the liter enclosure 17, the cap may be'reassembled on the container by locating the cap flange 21a above the elevated section side walls 14a, 14a and by pressing the cap flanges 21b, 21c frictionally over the extended end portions 14a, 14a of the elevated section side walls 14a14a. The cap 21 is pressed against the container 10 so that it is bottomed against the main section side walls 13a, 13a.
If desired, the container 10 may be provided with legs or feet, as indicated at 23.
Shown in FIGURE 4 is a modified type of container indicated generally at The container 10 differs from the container 10 in that its cap 21' is formed integral with the base 12' and is joined with the base 12 by means of a U-shaped hinge 25, the hinge being joined at its opposite ends with the base 12 and the cap 21'. The cap 21', the hinge 25, and the base 12' may be molded as a one piece unit where formed from a material known as polypropylene. Excellent results may be secured by the use of tenite polypropylene.
Shown in FIGURES 6 and 7 is still another modified type of tissue dispenser and litter container, as indicated at 10". The container 10 is similar to the other containers already described and double primed reference numerals have been used wherever applicable to identify container components which correspond to the ones already described in connection with the form shown in FIGURES 1-3.
In this form of my invention, the base 12 is formed integral with the cap 21' and they are joined together by means of hinge 25", the hinge 25" being the same as the hinge 25 shown in FIGURES 4 and 5. This form of my invention differs from those already described in that the base section 12" is formed separate and apart from shell 13". Side walls of the main section are indicated at 13 and are provided with longitudinally extending grooves 26. Opposite longitudinal base edges 27, 27 are snapped into the grooves 2626 for the purpose of securing the base 12 in integral assembly with the shell 13". The base is provided with a series of longitudinally extending reinforcing flanges 28.
The closure panels 21' and 21" on the containers 10 and 10 are adapted to operate in the same manner in that each of them may be pulled out of frictional engagement with elevated section walls in the same manner as already previously described in connection with the description of the structure shown in FIGURES l-3. In other words, the closure panels or caps 21' and 21" are adapted to coact with the elevated section side walls of the type indicated at 14a, 14a, and 14a, 14a as previously described.
Shown in FIGURES 8 and 9 is still another modified type of tissue dispenser and litter container as indicated generally at 40. The container 40 includes a tissue box enclosure 41 and a litter enclosure 42 and in this instance the tissue box enclosure 41 is stacked on top of the litter enclosure 42. The tissue box enclosure includes a tissue box inlet 43 as well as a tissue outlet 44. The litter enclosure 42 is provided with a slidable drawer or removable panel 44 having an angled lip or drawer edge or chute 45 which is adapted to protrude externally of the container 40. The angled drawer flange or chute 45 constitutes a litter inlet as indicated generally at 46 in FIG- URE 8.
In all forms of my invention, the containers may be made from any suitable material such as a synthetic plastic. Where, however, hinges are to be molded integral with the litter door and base, a polypropylene material is preferably employed as it has flexible characteristics which enable the hinge components or sections to be repeatedly flexed with respect to one another without damage to the hinge.
It will be understood that modifications and variations may be effected without departing from the scope of the novel concepts of the present invention.
