Abstract: An improved tissue container having a dispenser compartment and disposal compartment. The container has a tissue dispensing opening in the dispensing compartment and a tissue receiving opening in the disposal compartment through which soiled tissue may be inserted. The two compartments are formed on opposite sides of a flexible, bag-like liner with the liner opening only at the soiled tissue receiving opening. The bag-like liner prevents contaminants from contaminating the clean tissue compartment. The liner is arranged so that a load of clean tissues in the clean tissue compartment provides supporting structure to keep the liner from snarling and restricting the available space in the disposal compartment.

Abstract: A pouch, preferably made of pliable and soft material such as a moisture proof or moisture repelling fabric, designed for holding and dispensing facial tissues from small pocket sized packages which pouch is removably attachable to a selectable location of the body of the person using the pouch, preferably an arm or leg and including a closable flap which when opened exposes the facial tissue for removal and use and which flap may additionally contain such items as licenses, passes, note pads and the like.

Abstract: A dispenser system for razor blade units, including a dispenser housing in which the razor blade units are successively and displaceably disposed. Via a handle that is provided with a latching mechanism that cooperates with the razor blade units, the razor blade units can be removed from the dispenser housing one at a time. To simplify securement of the handle to a razor blade unit that is to be removed, the dispenser housing has a guide mechanism along which the end of the handle is guided and which brings the latching mechanism of the handle into a disengagement position. After reaching the removal position, the handle automatically engages the razor blade unit, so that this unit can be removed from the dispenser housing.

Abstract: Paper towel dispensing and soiled towel stowing equipment includes a receptacle (24) for used towels, a dispenser containing a supply of paper towels and tamping means (44) for compressing used towel material in the receptacle (24). The tamping means 44 is biased into an uppermost position where it urges towel engaging means (47) into engagement with the paper towels. The towel engaging means (47) disengages the towels when the tamping means is depressed by means of a pedal (42) to compress the contents of the receptacle (24). Thus, the availability of the towel material is restricted unless the user depresses the pedal (42) to compress the soiled towels.

Abstract: A unit combining a diaper dispenser and disposal drawer is shown. The unit consists of two sections, an upper dispensing section and a lower disposal section, which provide a single unit for new and soiled diapers, as well as other supplies used in changing a baby.

Abstract: This device is a container for dispensing new industrial razor blades and for receiving used razor blades for later disposal. It consists principally of a vertical blade compartment. A large stack of new blades may be inserted therein, which has a floating divider for the new blades, used blades being inserted through a slot adjacent the top and adding their weight to the floating divider, thus insuring that the bottom new blade of the stack will be in alignment with a blade dispensing slot in a side wall. A blade ejector is located in a lower sub-compartment and has a blade ejecting finger extending up through a slot in the bottom of the blade compartment in a position to be manually operated against the bottom new blade to eject it. At the top, there is a removable roof super compartment having a slit in its top for inserting the corner of a dulled used blade, so it can be manually broken off to provide a new sharp cutting edge.
