Slim Line Folding Toilet Tissue and Holder

Abstract

The tissue is individual sheets 4″ by 7 ½″ with no perforations. The tissue is interfolded lengthwise resulting in a tissue 2″by 7 ½″ for packaging and dispensing purposes. It is packaged in the same quantity as rolled tissue in either single ply or double ply, and is made of the same composites as existing toilet tissue. Folding tissue allows for continuous loading of the dispenser (holder.) The dispenser is 8 ⅝″ wide, by 2 ½″ deep, by 9 ⅜″ tall. It can be made of stainless steel, aluminum or plastic. It has a slot in the bottom for tissue access, and a locked door with a paper supply viewing slot. There is also an optional trim ring for recessed applications. Recessed applications result in an exterior exposed depth of less than 2″.

1 . Folded tissue allows for a continuous filling of the dispenser and eliminates all waste associated with rolled and cored tissue.
 It is idea for use in mobile applications where vibration can cause paper rolls to unravel, such as in planes, boats, RVs, trains, porta-potty, etc.   It is ideal for household applications where pets unravel traditional toilet paper rolls.   This tissue can also double as nose tissue or shoe wipes since it has no perforations or small squares to resemble toilet paper.   This tissue has applications in commercial buildings and hotels where separate dispensers are used.   Eliminates theft of traditional toilet paper rolls by the public and custodial staffs for personal use.   Save 10 to 20 percent on waste for commercial applications, depending on your dispenser refill policy.   
     
     
         2 . Folded tissue takes up 45 percent less space than a similarly sized circular rolled and cored tissue that saves 45 percent more space on shipping and storage:
 The packages can also be shrink wrapped for waterproof applications and further reduces the shipping and storage size of the package.   The dispenser can be made in various heights to hold multiple squares of toilet paper taking up 45 percent less space   
     
     
         3 . The slim 2 ½″ depth of the dispenser allows for installation anywhere in commercial stalls, not obstructing access to the toilet receptacle itself, like many traditional tissue holders do.
 Slim dispenser will help keep non-handicapped individuals from using the larger handicapped stalls, which is a problem in commercial buildings. 
 The dispensers can often be mounted behind stall doors 
 The slim line dispenser is less susceptible to vandalism since it is harder to kick off stall walls. 
 Recessed applications further reduce how far the toilet tissue holder protrudes from the wall further improving stall and toilet access.
