Tissue paper systems

Abstract

A system including a dry absorbent tissue paper sheet dispenser having a dispensing opening through which dry tissue paper sheets can be withdrawn and a moist sheet dispenser having a dispensing opening through which moist sheets can be withdrawn, wherein one of the dry tissue paper dispenser and the moist sheet dispenser is configured to sit atop the other so that the dispensing openings face in opposing directions in a combined configuration, and wherein the dry and moist sheet dispensers have cooperating interfacing surfaces when they are in the combined configuration that resist movement of the moist sheet dispenser with respect to the dry tissue paper dispenser in a first direction perpendicular to a sheet withdrawal direction of the dry tissue paper dispenser and the moist dispenser.

1 . A system comprising a dry absorbent tissue paper sheet dispenser having a dry dispensing opening through which dry tissue paper sheets can be withdrawn and a moist sheet dispenser comprising a wet dispensing opening through which moist sheets can be withdrawn, wherein one of the dry tissue paper dispenser and the moist sheet dispenser is configured to sit atop the other so that the dry and wet dispensing openings face in opposing directions in a combined configuration, and wherein the dry and moist sheet dispensers have cooperating interfacing surfaces when they are in the combined configuration that resist movement of the moist sheet dispenser with respect to the dry tissue paper dispenser in a first direction perpendicular to a sheet withdrawal direction of the dry tissue paper dispenser and the moist dispenser. 
     
     
         2 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the cooperating interfacing surfaces resist movement of the moist sheet dispenser with respect to the dry tissue paper dispenser in first and second directions that are perpendicular to one another and perpendicular to the sheet withdrawal direction of the dry and moist sheet dispensers. 
     
     
         3 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the dry tissue paper dispenser includes a recess or hole for receiving a wall fastener therein to fasten the dry tissue paper dispenser to a wall. 
     
     
         4 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the cooperating interfacing surfaces are in the form of a bottom face of the moist sheet dispenser matching a top face of the dry tissue paper dispenser with respect to the moist sheet dispenser sitting atop the dry tissue paper dispenser. 
     
     
         5 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the cooperating interfacing surfaces are at least in part in the form of the bottom face of the moist sheet dispenser defining a depending V-shape across substantially a whole extent from one side of the bottom of the moist sheet dispenser to an opposing side thereof, wherein the dry tissue paper dispenser has a top surface defining a matching V-shaped recess. 
     
     
         6 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the cooperating interfacing surfaces extend in the sheet withdrawal direction of the moist and dry sheet dispensers at an angle thereto or perpendicular thereto in order to resist relative movement between the dispensers in the first direction, yet the cooperating interfacing surfaces do not resist the dispenser sitting atop the other from being removed from the other dispenser in the sheet withdrawing direction of the dispenser sitting atop the other. 
     
     
         7 . The system of  claim 3 , wherein the cooperating interfacing surfaces are at least in part in the form of the bottom face of the moist sheet dispenser defining a depending V-shape across substantially a whole extent from one side of the bottom of the moist sheet dispenser to an opposing side thereof, wherein the dry tissue paper dispenser has a top surface defining a matching V-shaped recess. 
     
     
         8 . The system of  claim 3 , wherein the cooperating interfacing surfaces extend in the sheet withdrawal direction of the moist and dry sheet dispensers at an angle thereto or perpendicular thereto in order to resist relative movement between the dispensers in the first direction, yet the cooperating interfacing surfaces do not resist the dispenser sitting atop the other from being removed from the other dispenser in the sheet withdrawing direction of the dispenser sitting atop the other. 
     
     
         9 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the cooperating interfacing surfaces are at least in part in the form of the bottom face of the moist sheet dispenser defining a depending shape on the bottom of the moist sheet dispenser, wherein the dry tissue paper dispenser has a top surface defining a matching recess.
