Generally, the present disclosure relates to a carton for dispensing compressed tissue sheets comprising a carton having an oversized carton opening and a compressed stack of tissues, such as facial tissues. The compressed carton can significantly reduce costs associated with shipping such low density products. The oversized carton opening permits the compressed stack of tissues to expand, releasing the compression of the tissue stack and allowing the tissues to be dispensed normally.

Compressed tissue carton

Generally, the present disclosure relates to a carton for tissue products comprising a carton and an overwrapped compressed stack of tissues, such as facial tissues. The compressed carton can significantly reduce costs associated with shipping such low density products. The overwrapped compressed stack of tissues has a tear strip, which permits the compressed stack of tissues to expand, releasing the compression of the tissue stack and allowing the tissues to be dispensed normally.

Compressed tissue carton with tear strip

A fluid container () comprises a body (), a neck (), and a mouth () The neck is deformable from a first stable condition to a second stable condition, allowing the relative angle of the mouth to be changed.

Fluid container

Container

A compressible package having pair of scored sidewalls, which facilitate compression of the package into a wedge shape for storage in narrow recesses. Optionally, the compressible package may include a scored bottom flap wherein the bottom portion of the sidewalls and the bottom flap are shaped such that when the carton is compressed by a user the resulting shape of the bottom flap complements the shape of the sidewalls, maintaining a substantially closed carton. Preferably the compressible package is a carton for storing and dispensing tissue and the carton assumes a wedge shape, which allows the carton to be fit into tight spaces, such as between the seat and the center console of the automobile while maintaining a substantially closed carton.

Compressible tissue carton

Closure

A mandrel () comprising a body portion () having an outer surface for receiving a stretchable closed wrapper (), the mandrel having an end () adapted for mounting on a self supporting object () to be wrapped such that the wrapper can be slid over the mandrel and delivered therefrom onto the outer surface () of the object, in which the mandrel includes a portion which engages with the object to allow the mandrel to seat on an end of the object.

A storage and dispensing package for wipes comprising a non-rigid container having sides which define a cavity. A collapsible-expandable baffle structure having a width is positioned within the sides of the container and divides the cavity into a storage portion for wipes and a dispensing portion. The baffle structure includes a dispensing orifice through which wipes can pass and communicate with the dispensing portion. A resealable mechanism can also be included at an end of the package.

Combined toothbrush and toothpaste dispenser

This invention relates to toothbrushes of the kind in which a head having bristles projecting from at least one side thereof is articulated to an adjacent end of a handle for adjustment of the head with respect to the handle. The articulating means of the invention include a pair of projections integral with either the head or the handle and journalled in cooperating sockets in the other part, and means are provided for resisting relative turning movement between the head and handle, whereby the head and handle are adapted to be set in a desired position relatively to one another without being locked in said position.
