  • Dispenser for moist tissues
    Patent number: 3973695
    Abstract: A dispensing container for dispensing tissues one at a time from a web of perforated tissue material such as a web of premoistened, perforated towels. A cap is removably secured to the container body and a dispensing outlet is formed in the cap, with the outlet comprising a generally enlarged portion through which the tip of the leading tissue of the web can be passed, a groove portion extending from one end of said enlarged portion, and a generally circular portion at the opposite end of said groove. The generally circular portion of said outlet functions to apply tension to the web when the web is pulled from the container, the tension causing the leading tissue to separate at the perforation from the next tissue and leave exposed the tip of the next tissue to facilitate the next dispensing operation.
