Tissue dispenser and disposal unit

Abstract

A dispenser and disposal unit for a package of tissues includes a rectangular container with an open top and an elevated section projecting above the rear wall of the container including means for retaining a plurality of tissues and means for securing the rear of the elevated section against a vertical support so the tissues may be removed from the container and disposed of in the open top container.

1 . A container and disposal device for tissues, comprising: 
 a section of sheet material formed to have a rectangular container with an open top and an elevated section projecting above the rear wall of the container including means for retaining a plurality of interleaved tissues and means for securing the rear of the elevated section against a vertical surface so the tissues may be removed from the container and disposed of in the open top container.    
   
   
       2 . The container and disposal device of  claim 1  wherein the sheet material is flexible.  
   
   
       3 . The container and disposal device of  claim 1  wherein the sheet material comprises flexible plastic.  
   
   
       4 . The container and disposal device of  claim 1  wherein said means for retaining toilet tissue constitutes a double-walled opening adapted to receive a box of toilet tissues.  
   
   
       5 . The container and disposal device of  claim 1  wherein said means for retaining a plurality of tissues constitutes an interleaved group of tissues supported within an enclosure of the sheet material.  
   
   
       6 . A container and disposal device for tissues comprising: 
 a lower sheet section comprising a rear wall, a forward wall, a closed bottom, and a pair of closed side walls and an open top; and    an upper section projecting above the open top from the rear wall and comprising a forward section and a rear section, joined at their top and bottom, and open on at least one side, so as to be capable of accepting a box of sanitary tissues, and a slit in the forward wall adapted to allow the tissues to be removed, the lower section constituting a waste disposal unit for the tissues after use.    
   
   
       7 . The container and disposal device of  claim 6  further including a pressure-sensitive adhesive section formed across the rear of the upper extending section to allow the unit to be adhesively supported against the vertical support.  
   
   
       8 . The container and disposal device of  claim 6  wherein the side walls and the bottom walls of the lower section may be folded into a flat configuration.  
   
   
       9 . A container and disposal device for tissues comprising a container formed with a relatively rigid back and flexible side walls and bottom so as to form a disposal container, the side walls, bottom and front wall of the disposal container being folded against the rear wall for storage and shipping purposes, and an elevated planar section extending above the top of the rear wall and having a pressure-sensitive adhesive pad with a removable cover strip formed on its forward section for adhesively retaining the package of tissues, whereby the tissues may be removed and after use disposed of in the lower container.  
   
   
       10 . The container and disposal device for tissues of  claim 9  further including a central hole formed at the top of the upper section for retaining the open unit to a fastener secured to a vertical wall.  
   
   
       11 . A disposal device for tissues comprising a mesh section having a relatively rigid back and flexible side walls, forward walls and bottom, the side walls, forward walls and bottom being foldable against the back to form a planar section for storage and shipping purposes; and a planar section extending above the open top from the rear wall thereof and including a forward projecting receptacle with an open front slit, for receiving a box of tissues.
