Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a tissue box for dispensing tissues.
  • Tissue boxes for dispensing tissues are well known.
  • current tissue boxes suffer from problems, particularly in the case of larger sized tissue boxes, when there is only a minority of tissues remaining in the box.
  • the user must put a hand through the aperture into the box to remove a tissue to restart the run of tissues. This can be quite difficult especially if a tissue is needed in a hurry and often results in a number of tissues coming out, which is wasteful.
  • An object of the present is to provide a tissue box which provides a new means of overcoming the above mentioned problem.
  • a tissue box for dispensing tissues said tissue box including: a side wall, a bottom wall and a top wall, the top wall having an aperture for allowing the tissues to be pulled from the inside of the box; a platform upwardly movable within the box, said platform being located between the bottom wall and the tissues; and a manually activatable support means for supporting the platform intermediate the top wall and the bottom wall when the support means is activated, whereby, in use, after a number of tissues have been removed from the box, the platform may be moved towards the top wall sufficiently for the support means to be activated, whereupon when the support means is activated, the support means supports the platform and the tissues thereon so that the tissues are closer to the aperture.
  • the support means is in the form of a plurality of tabs that fold inwardly to support the platform. More preferably, the tabs are part of the side wall, each tab including a perforation that is broken as the tab is pushed in.
  • the support means is arranged to support the platform at approximately one half to two thirds of the distance between the bottom wall and the top wall.
  • the tabs are part of the bottom wall, each tab including a perforation that is broken as the tab is pushed in. More preferably, a pair of tabs cooperate so as to interlock in position thereby holding the platform in place. More preferably still, there are at least two pairs of tabs arranged to support the floor along its underside to minimise bending of the platform.
  • the side wall is comprised of opposed end walls and opposed lateral walls arranged to form a rectangle.
  • Figure 1 is an upper perspective view of a preferred embodiment of a tissue box in accordance with the present invention.
  • Figure 2 is a side view of the tissue box of Figure 1 ;
  • Figure 3 is a cross sectional view of the section 3-3 in Figure 2;
  • FIG 4 is a side view of a second embodiment of a tissue box in accordance with the present invention
  • Figure 5 is an end view of the tissue box of Figure 4;
  • Figure 6 is a bottom view of yet a further embodiment of a preferred embodiment of the tissue box in accordance with the present invention.
  • Figure 7 is a side view of the tissue box of Figure 6.
  • a tissue box 10 which includes opposed lateral walls 12, opposed end walls 14, a bottom wall 16 and a top wall 18.
  • the walls are arranged in a standard rectangular prism shape of an ordinary tissue box.
  • the top wall includes an aperture 20 through which tissues 22 may be drawn from the inside of the box.
  • the tissue box 10 includes a platform for false floor 24 of slightly smaller size than the bottom wall 16.
  • the floor 24 is placed between the tissues 22 and the bottom floor 16 and is able to be moved up and down the inside of the box when permitted by the reduced number of tissues in the box.
  • each tab 26 On each of the lateral walls 12 are tabs 26.
  • the tabs 26 are formed as part of the lateral walls by perforations 30 and a fold 32.
  • Each tab 26 is of a triangular shape with a top straight edge of the triangle being parallel with the wall 16.
  • the tabs 26 have been punched out so that the perforations are broken and the tab folded along the fold line 32.
  • the tabs are folded inside the box. It can also be seen in Figure 2 that most of the tissues 22 have now been removed from the box. The box has been inverted (not shown) so that the tissues formerly on the floor 24 rest upon the top wall 18 together with the floor 24 now on top of the tissues 22, whereupon the tabs 26 are punched in leaving holes 28.
  • tabs 36 located in the end walls 14.
  • the operation of the tabs 36 at the end walls is the same as tabs 26.
  • the tabs 36 are shown pushed in, in Figures 4 and 5. In Figure 5 only end wall tabs 36 are shown.
  • tabs 46 are in the bottom wall 16.
  • tabs 46 also have perforations and folds and may be pushed up into the interior of the box so as to support the floor.
  • a part of tabs 46 have notches 48 and 50 that are arranged to interlock to retain the tabs 46 in position.
  • Two pairs of tabs 46 are shown so that the floor is evenly supported. It is important that the floor be stiff enough so as to not excessively sag as this will counteract the advantage provided by the present invention.
  • the floor may be made of similar card-type material that the tissue box is made of. It is also important that the floor 24 be sufficiently large to properly support the tissues 22.
  • tissues near the bottom of the box may be raised so as to be closer to the aperture.
  • the support means for supporting the artificial floor may be incorporated into the tissue box with minimal additional cost in manufacture.

Abstract

Boîte (10) destinée à la distribution de papier tissu, comprenant une paroi latérale (12), une paroi pour le fond (16) et une paroi pour le dessus (18). La paroi du dessus présente une ouverture (20) permettant de tirer le papier tissu de l'intérieur de la boîte. La boîte comprend également une plate-forme (24) déplaçable vers le haut avec la boîte, ladite plate-forme étant disposée entre la paroi du fond et les papier tissus. Des moyens supports pouvant être actionnés manuellement (26) sont prévus pour supporter la plate-forme en un emplacement intermédiaire entre la paroi du dessus et la paroi du fond lorsque ces moyens sont actionnés. En cours d'emploi, lorsque plusieurs papier-tissus ont été retirés de la boîte, la plate-forme peut être déplacée vers la paroi du dessus, suffisamment pour que les moyens supports soient actionnés, de sorte que ces moyens supportent ensuite la plate-forme et les papier-tissus se trouvant sur celle-ci, de façon que lesdits papier-tissus se trouvent alors à proximité de l'ouverture.
