TISSUE DISPENSER Filed Sept. 6, 1955 INVENTORS. CHARLES L. CASEY RAYMOND G. DOELL United States Patent Ofifice 2,840,268 Patented June 24, 1958 TISSUE DISPENSER Charles L. Casey, Riverside, and Raymond G. Doell, Niles, Ill. I r
This invention relates to dispensers for cleansing or facial tissue, and more particularly to a dispenser adapted for recessed mounting in a wall.
It is an object of this invention to provide'an economical dispenser for cleansing tissue which is suitable for recessed or flush mounting into a wall.
It is a further object to provide an improved tissue dispenser for recessed mounting having an attractive face plate which may be easily detached for purposes of refilling the dispenser.
Another object is to provide an improved dispenser having supporting means to hold the face plate somewhat away from the wall, thereby'perrnitting removal and replacement of the face plate without chafing or marring the wall.
Other objects and advantages of the invention will become apparent upon reading the following description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawing in which:
Fig. l is a perspective view of the tissue dispenser as it will appear mounted in a wall;
Fig. 2 is an exploded perspective view showing the dis penser with the face plate detached; and
Fig. 3 is a vertical transverse sectional view of the dispenser as it is mounted in a wall and taken along the plane of line 3--3 of Fig. 1.
According to this invention, the tissue dispenser comprises a rectilinear box or enclosure 1 and a detachable face plate 2. The face plate is provided with hook brackets 3 and 3' for engagement with tabs 4 and 4 protruding inwardly from the end panels 5 and 5' of the rectilinear enclosure.
The rectilinear enclosure 1 may be formed from sheet metal having a back panel 6 and having other panels formed by bending themetal at right angles from the back panel, thereby providing the end panels 5 and 5', a top panel 7, and a bottom panel 8. The end panels 5 and 5' may be attached by rivets or other conventional means to the top and bottom panels 7 and 8, thereby providing a box structure with all of the panels mutually joined. Appropriate holes 9 may be provided in any and all of the panels to accommodate mounting screws. The tabs 4 and 4' may be provided on the end panels 5 and 5' by cutting an appropriate section from the end panels on three sides and thence bending the tabs inward at right angles to the panels.
The face plate 2 may be likewise formed from'sheet metal upon which an attractive finish is applied, such as plating or enameling. The face plate 2 contains an elongated opening 10 for removal of tissue from the dispenser. The hook brackets 3 and 3' may be riveted to the face plate and positioned appropriately to engage the tabs 4 and 4. To prevent the faceplate from actually contacting and possibly chafing and marring the supporting wall, the rectilinear enclosure 1 is provided with tum-back flanges 11 and 11' formed on at least two of its panels. When the dispenser is mounted in a wall, the flanges 11 and 11' engage the wall and hold the rectilinear enclosure 1 at a predetermined spaced relation with the wall, such that the enclosure protrudes somewhat outwardly from the surface of the wall. With the rectilinear enclosure 1 thus mounted on the wall, the face plate may be detachably mounted upon the rectilinear enclosure and yet not contact the wall as illustrated at 12 and 12' in Fig. 3.
The rectilinear enclosure 1 is so dimensioned to conveniently hold a standard box of cleansing tissue. The tabs 4 and 4' perform a further function of centering the box of cleansing tissue between the end panels such that the elongated opening 10 of the face plate '2 will lie immediately over a similar elongated opening in a standard box of cleansing tissue. The cleansing tissue will thereby be dispensed directly from a box held within the enclosure 1 and behind the face plate 2.
Changes may be made in the form, construction and arrangement of parts from those disclosed herein without in any way departing from the spirit of the invention or sacrificing any of the attendant advantages thereof, provided, however, that such changes fall within the scope of the claims appended hereto.
The invention is hereby claimed as follows:
1. A tissue dispenser adapted for recessed mounting in the wall, said dispenser comprising a rectilinear enclosure having mutually joined panels forming a top, a bottom, a back and two ends, said rectilinear enclosure being dimensioned to receive a box of tissues, a face plate for covering the rectilinear enclosure and for overlapping a portion of the surrounding wall,-an' elongated opening in said face plate for removal of tissue therethrough, tabs struck from said ends of the enclosure and protruding inwardly therefrom, a pair of hooked mounting brackets on said face plate for detachably engaging said tabs, said tabs also centering the box of tissue between the ends of the enclosure so that the elongated opening in said face plate will align with a similar opening in the box of tissue, and a plurality of flanges on the panels of the enclosure adapted to engage the Wall and position the enclosure outwardly therefrom, to provide spacing between the wall and the face plate.
2. A tissue dispenser adapted for recessed mounting in a wall, 'said dispenser comprising a rectilinear enclosure having mutually joined panels forming a top, a bottom, two ends and a back, said rectilinear enclosure being adapted to hold a box of tissue, tabs protruding inwardly into the enclosure from the ends thereof for centering the box of tissue between the ends, a face plate for covering the rectilinear enclosure and for overlapping the wall around the enclosure, an elongated opening in said face plate for removal of tissue from the box held Within the enclosure, a pair of hook brackets on said face plate for engaging said tabs and for detachably holding the face plate to the rectilinear enclosure, and flanges on said top and bottom turned outwardly from the enclosure and adapted to position the face plate in spaced relation to the wall.
