Abstract:
A pop-up tissue dispenser, comprising:a cylindrically shaped dispensing package having a uniformly circular sidewall surface connecting the bottom and top surfaces, the top surface having a package opening therein; anda clip of pre-folded interleaved tissues, each tissue comprising(1) a sheet having two substantially parallel side edges oriented parallel to the longitudinal dimension and two substantially parallel end edges oriented parallel to the transverse dimension;(2) two pre-fold folds oriented in the longitudinal direction of the sheet approximately one-quarter sheet width and three-quarters sheet width from one of the side edges, thereby reducing the overall sheet width to approximately one-half the original sheet width;(3) one interfold oriented transversely and substantially parallel to the end edges, located approximately one-eighth sheet length from one edge, thereby creating a leading end region;(4) a second interfold oriented transversely and substantially parallel to the end edges, located approximately half-way between the first interfold and the trailing end edge, thereby creating a middle region and trailing edge region;(5) a generally circular configuration which is oriented about the longitudinal centerline, the side edges of the sheet remaining substantially parallel to each other.
