Definitions

  • This invention relates to dispensers for sheet material, and in particular dispensers for facial tissues.
  • Cartons of the kind for dispensing sheet material which is folded on itself into an inverted U-shaped stack are known.
  • the advantages of this kind of carton compared to those which store the sheet material flat, is that they are more compact and require less packaging material and storage space.
  • a drawback with cartons of this kind is thatthe stack of sheet material tends to shift during transportation and use such that the sheets are not properly orientated with the dispensing aperture, giving a potential dispensing problem.
  • British Patent No. 1,186,787 shows a carton in which the stack of tissues is folded on itself. In this arrangement, the end edges of the tissues are flared outwardly so that they bear against the side walls of the carton so as to support the stack and prevent it from shifting.
  • United States Patent No. 3243079 shows a carton having a W-shaped insert wherein the lateral uprights of the W lie against the side walls of the carton, and wherein the sheets are folded over the central inverted V of the insert and are thus flared out so that the edges of the tissues bear against the lateral uprights of the insert.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide a carton having an insert which improves the dispensing properties of the carton and which substantially reduces the shifting of the tissues in the carton during handling and transportation and which is itself prevented from being displaced.
  • a dispenserfor dispensing sheet material from a stack of sheet material comprising a carton having a base wall, side walls and a top wall, an aperture, in said top wall through which the sheet material is dispensed, and support means disposed within the carton comprising a central member projecting substantially vertically upwardly from the said base wall over which the stack of sheet material is folded in the form of a symmetrical inverted U such that the top sheet of the stack is presented to the aperture in the carton, characterised in that the support means further comprises two wall members, for supporting the end edges of the folded sheet material, extending outwardly and upwardly from either side of the central member, at an angle, thereto, and locating means locating the support means in position in the carton.
  • each end of the stack may be supported since the angle of the two wall members can be varied to match the angle of the end edge of the stack according to the bulk of the sheet material used.
  • the said locating means comprises two members which project substantially horizontally from either side of the central member, along the base wall, to one of the said opposite side walls respectively.
  • the central member and the two members for supporting the end edges of the stack are kept in position within the carton without the necessity for additional fixing.
  • Other locating means may be provided, for example the wall members may be provided with tabs which are glued inside the carton.
  • a plastic film member may be provided, extending across the aperture in the top wall, the said membrane having either an elon- gatge overlapping opening or a slit depending on the nature of the substrate or the fold configuration used to permit extraction of the sheet material from the carton.
  • the plastic membrane helps to prevent the sheet material becoming soiled and may also assist in the dispensing action.
  • the support means is a removable insert which is formed integrally from a cardboard blank.
  • the insert used can thereby be changed according to the bulk and length of the sheet material used and the dimensions of the carton.
  • the sheet material may be either interleaved, tab-tied or longitudinally folded.
  • a dispenser for tissues 10 comprises a carton 20 having a base wall 25, side walls 30,31,32,33, a top wall 35 and a cardboard insert 40.
  • the top wall 35 is provided with an aperture 45 through which the tissues 10 can be extracted.
  • a plastic film membrane 47 extends across the aperture 45 as shown in Figures 1, 2 and 3. This membrane 47 has an elongate opening 50 which is originally sealed for example by perforations so that it can be opened by a user by tearing.
  • the insert 40 is cut and folded from a single piece of cardboard, and comprises a folded spine forming a central member 55 projecting vertically upwards centrally from the base wall 25, and two support members 60a, 60b projecting upwards from the central member 55 at an angle A thereto.
  • the upper edges of the support members 60a, 60b rest against the side walls 30 and 32 of the carton, and the insert also includes base members 65a, 65b extending from the central member 55 horizontally along the base wall 25 respectively to the side walls 30 and 32.
  • the configuration of the insert with the outer edges of base members 65a, 65b and support members 60a, 60b engaging the side walls of the carton, ensures a relatively rigid assembly which does not require the presence of tissues for support and which will not collapse during transit or use.
  • the spine 55 is shown as being vertical, it may be substantially vertical and comprise an inverted V-shape, the central member 55 and the support members 60a and 60b thus combining to form an inverted W-configuration.
  • the tissues 10 are folded over the central member 55 in the form of a symmetrical inverted U, so that the uppermost tissue 70 is presented to the aperture 45.
  • the end edges 75 of the tissues 10 are supported by the support members 60a, 60b.
  • the height of the central member 55 should be not more than half the length of tissues 10, and preferably be slightly less than half the length of the tissues 10.
  • the angle A is dependent on the bulk of the tissue 10 used, the sheet count, the ply makeup and the fold configuration. A suitable angle would lie between 45° and 65°.
  • the tissues 10 of the stack are either interleaved, tab-tied or longitudinally folded as is in itself known. In this way as the top tissue 70 is extracted the next tissue is pulled partially through the aperture 45 so that it can be grasped by a subsequent user.
  • the top sheet of a complete stack is preferably folded over.
  • Figure 4 shows the blank 80 of the cardboard insert 40 before it is assembled.
  • the blank 80 is cut along lines A', A", B', B", and C', C". It is then folded along line D and, in the opposite direction, along lines E between X'-Y' and X"-Y", and to a lesser extent along lines E between Y'-Y' and Y"-Y".
  • the length of the cuts A', C', A" and C" are half the width of walls 31 or 33, although this may vary to take into account the board thickness and the clearance required during assembly.
  • the stack of tissues 10 can then be folded over the central member 55 and the assembly placed inside the carton 20, where it is retained in position by abutment between edges B', B" of panels 65a, 65b and side walls 30, 32.
