  • Protective barriers come in different shapes and sizes and material make-up.
  • they can include thermoplastic, plastic coated or lined paper, plastic coated or lined cotton, waxed paper, cotton-blend, paper-blend, and a number of shapes and sizes ranging from large to small and with various curves and cut-outs.
  • the present invention may be implemented by providing a combination dispenser and protective barriers for providing a barrier between a first surface and a second surface comprising a plurality of intertwined protective pads housed within a dispenser housing; the protective pads each comprises a layer made from a thermoplastic material or a plastic blend material in the absence of a cavity.
  • the present invention may also be practiced using a method for isolating an article from a surface comprising the steps taking a protective pad from a dispenser housing comprising a plurality of intertwined protective pads, each protective pad comprising a layer made from a thermoplastic material or a plastic blend material in the absence of a cavity; placing the protective pad on the surface; and placing the article on the protective pad.
  • a combination dispenser and protective barriers for providing a barrier between a first surface and a second surface comprising a plurality of individual protective pads separated from one another by a tear line; each individual pad comprises a layer made from a thermoplastic material or a plastic blend material in the absence of a cavity, and wherein the dispenser comprises an access opening for retrieving the individual protective pads.

  • a similar thermoplastic housing is the housing for the Kleenex Pocket PackTM tissues, which the present housing 14 may be constructed to resemble.
  • the opening 16 may be formed by providing a perforated cut-out on the housing to be opened by a user.
  • the perforated cut-out can embody a straight perforated slit or take on a shape, such as an oval shape or a rectangular shape, as examples.
  • Each pad 12 may be folded and placed next to or on top of an adjacent pad, be folded in an intertwined fashion with an adjacent pad, as further discussed below, or be folded in an end-to-end rolled configuration with an adjacent pad, also as further discussed below.
  • the individual pads 12 are folded so as to be packaged in a compact housing 12 with an overall size in the order of a Kleenex Pocket PackTM.
  • the overall housing size can vary from the size of the Pocket PackTM provided it is sufficiently small to fit into a purse, a backpack, or the like.

  • the pad 12 is folded in thirds with the first side edge 20 and the second side edge 22 folded over the central portion 24 of the pad to create two creases 26.
  • the pad 12 may be folded in half, in fourths, and so-forth to produce a desirable final size and configuration.

However, other size range may be incorporated without deviating from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Due to the un-folded size of the pad 12 compared to the folded size of the pad 12, the pad may also have one or more lateral folds or creases 28 (FIG. 2) to decrease the size of the pad 12 when folded for packaging the pad into the housing 14. Also shown in FIG. 2 is the second end edge 32.
  • the pad 12 maybe made from a non-absorbent material, a low-absorbent material, or from an absorbent material with a non-absorbent, or low-absorbent, liner or backing.
  • a non-absorbent material By low-absorbent, a minimal absorption of moisture into the pad may be possible without completely soaking the pad.
  • Low-absorbent material should be more impervious to moisture than a paper towel, a cotton towel, or a paper tissue.

  • the pad 12 is simply stacked on top of one-another, i.e., not intertwined, such that when the bundle of pad 30 is packaged inside the housing, pulling on the first pad 12 will not cause the adjacent pad 12 to pop out of the opening 16.
  • the plurality of pads 12 are intertwined by placing a portion of one pad in between a folded adjacent pad. The folded adjacent pad is then placed in between another folded adjacent pad and so forth to produce a stack of pads of desired number or of appropriate or desired height.
