FOLDED SHEET DISPENSER
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18702423 titled 'FOLDED SHEET DISPENSER
Original Abstract Submitted
A dispenser for sheet material, particularly a stack of individual sheets of material that have been folded together, such as a stack of folded tissue sheets. The stack of individual sheets is folded along its transverse axis and inserted into the dispenser for storage and dispensing. Generally, the length of the dispenser is less than the length of the individual sheets such that the when the stack is folded along its transverse axis and inserted into the dispenser it forms an arch-shape. When disposed in the dispenser the arch-shaped stack forms a least three void spaces, one in each bottom corner of the dispenser and one between the legs of the arch-shaped stack. These void spaces prevent excessive compression of the stack or friction between the stack and the sidewalls of the dispenser and improve dispensing of sheets from the stack.
