Bates, Appleton, and William H. Hall, Neenah,
Wis., assignors to Kimberly-Clark Corporation, Neenah, Wis., a corporation of Delaware Filed Mar. 5, 1963, Ser. No. 263,054 9 Claims. (Cl. 22148) This invention relates to improvements in tissue dispensing cartons.
The primary object of the invention is to provide improvements in carton dispenser openings of the type employed for the sequential dispensing of interleaved facial tissues or the like.
Another object is to provide an improved dispenser carton the dispenser opening area of which is constricted to a minimum during and after tissue dispensing therethrough, thus protecting the carton contents against entry of dust and foreign objects.
A further object is to provide an improved dispenser opening which insures the application of restrictive forces on tissues dispensed therefrom and thereafter maintains suitable force on a partially withdrawn tissue to prevent objectionable fall-back which is commonly experienced in conventional dispensing cartons, especially after a substantial portion of the stack has been dispensed therefrom.
A further object is to provide an improved dispenser opening which permits a user to tuck back into the carton a partially extracted tissue with resulting substantially complete enclosure of the tissue contents.
A further object is to provide a tissue dispensing carton with a window of flexible sheet stock which completely seals the carton contents prior to use, but which is easily severed along a line of fracture by fingernail pressure to provide an improved dispenser opening.
A further, object is to provide a dispenser opening of flexible material which may readily be drawn apart to provide a transversely enlarged opening for the unitary removal of a partial stack of tissues from the carton interior.
A still further object is to provide a constrictive opening which functions, during dispensing, in a manner substantially to eliminate the objectionable rasping sound of prior art constrictive openings.
Other objects and advantages will be apparent upon examination of the drawings and description, the scope of the invention being defined in the appended claims.
In the drawings, in which like parts are identified by the same reference numerals,
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a tissue carton incorporating the invention,
FIG. 2 shows in plan the underside of the top wall 16 of the carton of FIG. 1,
FIG. 3 is a perspective view of a carton incorporating an alternate embodiment of the invention,
FIG. 4 shows in plan the under surface of the top wall of the carton of FIG, 3,
FIG. 5 shows in perspective, partially broken away, the carton of FIG. 1 during tissue extraction therefrom,
FIG. 6 is a fragmentary view, in plan, of the bottom surface of the top wall of the carton shown in FIGS. 1 and 2,
FIG. 7 is a perspective view of the tissue carton embodiment shown in FIG. 1 with a perforated top panel partially removed, and
FIG. 8 is a perspective view of the tissue carton embodiment shown in FIG. 3 with a perforated top panel partially removed.
FIG. 1 illustrates a generally rectangular tissue dispensing carton 10 of cardboard sheet stock or the like with the top wall thereof provided with a dispensing opening generically designated 12. As shown, opening 12 is somewhat the configuration of a narrow and truncated ellipse, but various other configurations are contemplated. Opening 12 may be formed during manufacture either by clean cut severance of the carton stock along marginal line 14 and removal of the severed panel, or alternately, as shown in FIG. 7, the opening may be marginally defined in a known manner by a suitable line of perforation 15 for later removal of the panel 17 by a user.
As best shown in FIG. 2, the under side of top Wall 16 has bonded thereto a sheet of flexible material 18 such as light Weight polyethylene film or the like. The bonding, shown at 19, FIG. 2, is applied marginally to encircle opening 12 but is preferably spaced outwardly of the opening margin in cartons provided with a panel-defining line of perforation to prevent bond breakage during removal of the panel. Film 18 is perforated along line 20 extending longitudinally of the medial axis of opening 12 between opposite ends thereof. Preferably, but not necessarily, a strip of opaque material 22, such as ink, is printed over or alongside line of perforation 20 as a visual aid to a user in severing the film such as by running a finger along the perforations.
Film 18 is preferably adhesively bonded at 19 to the under side of the carton top wall 16 while under a slight degree of tension to insure tautness of the film throughout the area of the opening 12. While perforations 20 preferably extend completely through film 18, they comprise sufliciently narrow slits to close up after being formed and thus prevent dust or other foreign material from passing therethrough into the carton interior. That portion of film 18 which bridges opening 12 as shown in FIG. 1 thus serves as a protective window in cartons in which the opening panel has been removed. While opaque film may be used, a clear film permits a potential purchaser to examine the tissue contents of the carton. Since facial tissues and the like are currently sold in a plurality of colors, and in various shades of the same colors, one form of the improved opening permits color matching at the time of purchase.
The opening may easily be prepared for use by pressing down the margins of the perforation defined panel 17, if present, to sever the panel which is then removed. Panel removal in this manner normally results in simultaneous severance of film 18 along the perforation line 20, but the film 18 may thereafter be severed by running a finger along that line from one end of opening 12 to the other. Since that portion of the film which bridges opening 12 is maintained taut by the adhesive bond to the carton top wall, breakage thereof along the line of perforation may be eifected in a surprisingly easy manner. As is well-known, films of polyethylene or the like, when not held taut, are quite difficult to separate along perforation lines provided for that purpose.
An alternate embodiment of the invention is illustrated in FIGS. 3 and 4 wherein a carton 30 is provided with an opening generically designated 32 which may be formed as above stated either by a clean out along marginal line 34 or as shown in FIG. 8, by a line of perforation 35 outlining a panel 37 to be removed prior to use. As shown in FIG. 4, the under side of top wall 36 has bonded thereto two sheets of ifilm- like material 38 and 40, the inner margins of which overlap medially along the longitudinal axis as shown at 42. As in the embodiment of FIGS. 1 and 2, the overlapped sheets of film stock 38, 40 are bonded marginally of the opening, with sheet 38 being bonded at 44 along the outer side and ends thereof, and sheet 40 being bonded in a like manner as shown at 46, the bonding being effected while the two overlapped sheets are maintained taut. The adhesive -bond may run contiguously of margins of clean cut openings but the areas of bonds 44, 46 are preferably set back somewhat from the margin of the opening in instances in which the carton top wall 36 is provided with an opening-defining line of perforation requiring panel removal to form the opening. It will be noted that the film stock of panels 38, 40, since overlapped in the area 42, does not require breakage of a line of perforation in preparation for use, but instead offers ready access to the carton contents by finger separation of the overlapped portions. The film stock is sufliciently flexible to permit the user to insert a thumb and forefinger between the overlapped margins for removal of either an individual sheet or a plurality of sheets, and thereafter a trailing tissue is partially drawn through the lips formed in the overlapped area 42 which remain in pressure engagement therewith to minimize the opening area and to provide, in commom with the opening of FIGS. 1 and 2, smooth and substantially noiseless tissue extraction.
While the invention is not limited to the employment of a particular type of flexible sheet stock, polyethylene film of a thickness of, for example, one to five mils has been found to function effectively. A suitable adhesive, such as that which serves well to bond plastic sheet stock to paperboard, may be lightly applied to the polyethylene film in the configuration of the marginal areas of the opening by a printing roller or otherwise during high speed carton production. The film may then be roller applied to the inner face surface of the top wall portion in registry with the clean cut or perforation defined opening therein.
Following severance along perforation line 20, FIG. 1, the two adjacent half portions of film 18 continue to bridge opening 12 from one end thereof to the other while remaining reasonably taut and in substantial abutrnent along their severed medially disposed margins. The film half portions may, however, be easily spread transversely of the opening as by users thumb and forefinger while grasping the uppermost sheet of the carton-housed tissue stack, or if desired, for extraction of a portion of the tissue stack housed therein. The dispenser opening is intended for use with stacks of interleaved tissues rather than with C-folded or other non-interleaved stacks of tissues.
Tissue interleaving to form the stack may be accomplished, for example, either by interfolding of tissue panel portions which are lightly interbonded, one to the other, or by interleaving the tissues in Z-configu-ration or otherwise but without interbonding therebetween. As shown in FIG. 5, following severance of the window-like flexible film 18 of the FIG. 1 carton along perforation line 20 throughout the longitudinal length of opening 12, individual. tissues 48 are extracted from the carton housed stack 50 between the half portions of film 18. During extraction, the half portions of film 18 tend to be pulled upwardly into a transversely arced configuration to form a pair of lip-like constricting members, one of which is visible in FIG. 5. After a trailing tissue sheet 52 is partially drawn through the opening during each dispensing operation, marginal portions of the film maintained under tension in contact therewith, contract under tension to minimize the opening area, gripping the trailing interleaved sheet which projects in part above the carton top wall while protecting the carton contents against entry of dust and the like.
