Abstract

a tissue box container capable of covering or holding facial tissue boxes of various sizes and configurations, the container including a body having adjoining first and second rear panels disposed at an angle with respect to each other such that the container body may be fitted in a congruent corner on a surface. A front panel of selected configuration spans the first rear panel and the second rear panel, and a top panel having a top panel opening is provided on the first rear panel, the second rear panel and the front panel of the container body. One of the rear panels may be omitted from or removably attached to the container body, and a bottom panel may be removably or fixedly attached to the bottom of the container body.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is:  
     
         1 . A tissue-dispensing box, comprising: 
 a tissue box body having adjoining first and second rear sides disposed at an angle of from about 85 degrees to about 95 degrees with respect to each other;    a front side spanning said first and second rear sides; and    a top side positioned above said first rear side, said second rear side and said front side of said tissue box body, said top side having an opening provided therethrough,    wherein said first rear side, said second rear side, said front side and said top side together define a tissue box interior communicating with said top side opening.    
     
     
         2 . A tissue-dispensing box as recited in  claim 1 , further comprising a plurality of rectangular shaped tissues contained within said tissue box body and positioned for being dispensed through said top side opening.  
     
     
         3 . A tissue box container, comprising: 
 a container body having adjoining first and second rear panels disposed at an angle of from about 85 degrees to about 95 degrees with respect to each other;    a front panel spanning said first rear panel and said second rear panel, said front panel having a selected configuration; and    a top panel provided on said first rear panel, said second rear panel and said front panel of said container body and having a top panel opening,    wherein said first rear panel, said second rear panel, said front panel and said top panel define a container interior communicating with said top panel opening of said top panel.    
     
     
         4 . A tissue box container as recited in  claim 3 , wherein said selected configuration of said front panel is a substantially planar configuration.  
     
     
         5 . A tissue box container as recited in  claim 3 , wherein said selected configuration of said front panel is a substantially arcuate configuration.  
     
     
         6 . A tissue box container as recited in  claim 3 , wherein said selected configuration of said front panel is a multi-faceted configuration.  
     
     
         7 . A tissue box container as recited  claim 3 , wherein said first rear panel removably engages said container body for enabling selective access to said container interior.  
     
     
         8 . A tissue box container as recited in  claim 5 , wherein said first rear panel removably engages said container body for enabling selective access to said container interior.  
     
     
         9 . A tissue box container as recited in  claim 6 , wherein said first rear panel removably engages said container body for enabling selective access to said container interior.  
     
     
         10 . A tissue box container as recited in  claim 3 , further comprising a bottom panel engaging said container body for enabling selective access to said container interior.  
     
     
         11 . A tissue box container as recited in  claim 10 , wherein said bottom panel removably engages said container body.  
     
     
         12 . A tissue box container as recited in  claim 10 , wherein said bottom panel fixedly engages said container body.  
     
     
         13 . A tissue box container as recited in  claim 10 , wherein said selected configuration of said front panel is a configuration selected from the group consisting of planar, arcuate and multi-faceted configurations.  
     
     
         14 . A tissue box container, comprising: 
 a container body comprising adjoining first and second rear panels disposed at an angle of about 85 degrees to about 95 degrees with respect to each other;    a front panel having a selected configuration and spanning said first rear panel and said second rear panel;    a top panel provided on said first rear panel, said second rear panel and said front panel of said container body and having a top panel opening;    wherein said first rear panel, said second rear panel, said front panel and said top panel define a container interior communicating with said top panel opening of said top panel; and    wherein said first rear panel, said second rear panel and said front panel define a bottom container opening opposite said top panel and communicating with said container interior.    
     
     
         15 . The tissue box container of  claim 14  wherein said selected configuration of said front panel is a configuration selected from the group consisting of straight configuration, multifaceted configuration and curved configuration.  
     
     
         16 . The tissue box container of  claim 14  further comprising a bottom panel removably engaging said container body for selectively closing said bottom container opening.  
     
     
         17 . The tissue box container of  claim 14  wherein said selected configuration of said front panel is a configuration selected from the group consisting of straight configuration, multifaceted configuration and curved configuration.  
     
     
         18 . A tissue box container, comprising: 
 a container body having adjoining front and rear panels disposed at an acute angle with respect to each other, said front panel having a selected configuration;    a top panel provided on said front panel and said rear panel and having a top panel opening provided therethrough, said front, rear and top panels defining a container interior communicating with said top panel opening; and    a rear container opening defined between said front panel and said rear panel, said rear container opening defining a plane disposed at an angle of from about 85 degrees to about 95 degrees with respect to said rear panel.    
     
     
         19 . A tissue box container as recited in  claim 18 , further comprising a bottom panel engaging said container body for closing said container interior.  
     
     
         20 . A tissue box container as recited in  claim 20 , wherein said selected configuration of said front panel is a configuration selected from the group consisting of a planar configuration, a multi-faceted configuration and an arcuate configuration.
