Tamper-Resistant Facial Tissue Carton

Abstract

Tamper resistance is provided for facial tissue cartons having a poly dispensing window and a detachable surfboard with detachment openings to enable a user to grasp and remove the surfboard. The underside of the surfboard is provided with a releasable adhesive barrier which releasably adheres the poly window to the surfboard in order to block unwanted access to the interior of the carton through the detachment openings. The ability of the user to grasp and remove the surfboard is unaffected.

1 . A tissue product comprising a clip of interfolded facial tissues within a container, said container having a top through which the facial tissues are withdrawn by a user, said top comprising a poly film which is glued to the inside of the top and which has a dispensing opening therein, said top further having a detachable surfboard overlaying the poly film, said detachable surfboard having a periphery defined by a combination of cuts and perforations in the top, there being at least one detachment opening in the top of the container adjacent an edge of the surfboard which enables the user to grasp and remove the surfboard to create a poly window in the resulting opening, wherein the surfboard is releasably adhered to the poly film by a releasable adhesive barrier which reduces access to the space between the surfboard and the poly film through said at least one detachment opening. 
   
   
       2 . The tissue product of  claim 1  wherein the releasable adhesive barrier is continuous. 
   
   
       3 . The tissue product of  claim 1  wherein the releasable adhesive barrier is discontinuous. 
   
   
       4 . The tissue product of  claim 1  wherein the effective length of the releasable adhesive barrier is from about 0.5 to about 1.5 inches. 
   
   
       5 . The tissue product of  claim 1  wherein the effective length of the releasable adhesive barrier is from about 0.75 to about 1.25 inches. 
   
   
       6 . The tissue product of  claim 1  wherein the effective length of the releasable adhesive barrier is from about 1.0 to about 1.25 inches. 
   
   
       7 . The tissue product of  claim 1  wherein the releasable adhesive barrier is discontinuous and comprises three individual spaced-apart adhesive deposits. 
   
   
       8 . The tissue product of  claim 1  wherein the releasable adhesive barrier is a pressure sensitive hot melt adhesive. 
   
   
       9 . The tissue product of  claim 1  wherein the releasable adhesive barrier is a pressure sensitive cold adhesive. 
   
   
       10 . The tissue product of  claim 1  wherein the dispensing opening in the poly film is a slit.
