Abstract
A tissue-dispensing device in combination with a discarding receptacle comprising a first housing unit having an aperture formed therein for dispensing unused facial tissue hingably connected to a second housing unit designed for receiving used tissues through an aperture formed therein.
Description
- This present invention relates generally to tissue dispensers and more specifically, to a tissue-dispensing device in combination with a discarding receptacle.
- When in a sickened condition and the body in a weakened state, many of us are seemingly immobilized, making even the most effortless task of discarding used tissues in the proper receptacle far too strenuous. If bedridden by the common cold, most of us will resort to tossing used facial tissue down by our bedside or throwing them on a nearby nightstand. As convenient as these options may be, they are disadvantageous, promoting the spread of germs and exposing family and friends to these infectious agents.
- Therefore, it is readily apparent that there is a need for a facial tissue dispensing device in combination with a discarding receptacle, wherein quick and safe disposal of used facial tissue is provided, thus reducing the spread of germs and the number of inconvenient trips made to a distant trash receptacle.
- Briefly described, in a preferred embodiment, the present invention overcomes the above-mentioned disadvantages and meets the recognized need for such a device, by providing a tissue dispensing device in combination with a discarding receptacle, wherein convenient and safe disposal of used facial tissue or the like is provided, thus reducing both the spread of germs and ultimately the number of trips made to a trash receptacle.
- According to its major aspects and broadly stated, the present invention in its preferred form is a facial tissue dispensing device with a discarding receptacle having a first housing unit and a second housing unit hingably connected thereto.
- More specifically, the present invention is a facial tissue dispensing device with a discarding receptacle having a first housing unit for holding and dispensing unused facial tissue and a second housing unit for temporarily holding used facial tissue. The top portion of the first housing unit has a slot for dispensing unused facial tissue, and the top portion of the second housing unit has an aperture for receiving used facial tissue. First housing unit is situated on top of second housing unit and is hingably connected thereto so that when first housing unit and second housing unit are rotated about the axis of the hinge, second housing unit is inverted and used facial tissue gravitationally exits the aperture on the top portion of the second housing unit.
- In another embodiment of the invention, first housing unit has a slot for dispensing the facial tissue and the second housing unit has a slot for receiving facial tissue as well as an aperture in which the used facial tissue exits upon disposal. First housing unit and second housing unit are hingably connected so that when first housing unit and second housing unit are rotated about the axis of the hinge, used facial tissue exits the aperture of the second housing unit.
- In another embodiment of the invention, first housing unit and second housing unit are travel size, suitable for holding limited amounts of used and unused facial tissues. First housing unit has a slot for dispensing unused facial tissue and second housing unit has an aperture for receiving used facial tissue. Second housing unit has a flap to cover the aperture so that the used facial tissue is not exposed. First housing unit and second housing unit are connected back-to-back so that the slot on first housing unit and the aperture on second housing unit face outward or in the opposite directions.
- A feature and advantage of the present invention is its ability to provide quick and convenient disposal of used facial tissue.
- A feature and advantage of the present invention is its ability to guard against germ transmission by safely housing used facial tissue.
- A feature and advantage of the present invention is its ability to reduce the number of inconvenient trips made to a trash receptacle to dispose of used facial tissue.
- A feature and advantage of the invention is its hinged connection, allowing the used tissues to be quickly accessed and discarded.
- These and other objects, features and advantages of the invention will become more apparent to one skilled in the art from the following descriptions and claims when read in light of the accompanying drawings.
