Abstract: An elevating dispenser for flexible sheet materials and more particularly for interleafed cosmetology end papers. The flexible sheets are contained in a carton with a dispensing aperture in the top wall. The dispensing aperture has flaps to retain the end of successively drawn sheets above the aperture for ease of withdrawal. The stack of sheets rests within the carton on an elevating platform which is flexibly attached on two opposing sides to the base of the adjacent side walls of the carton by flexibly folded extension panels which allow upward urging of the elevating platform. This facilitates the removal of sheets from a stack of diminishing thickness as the sheets are removed, one at a time. The elevating platform is retained in progressively upward positions by friction between its edges and the inside surfaces of the carton walls and by tabs in the end walls which are pressed into the chamber of the carton beneath the elevating platform.

Abstract: An adjustable tissue box (20) for accommodation of tissues (26) significantly larger in quantity, in comparison with an average tissue box, while all tissues (26) are allowed to be successively dispensed, comprising: a series of ascending steps (22) and a tissue tray (24). The ascending steps (22) are formed by way of series of triangular holes (23) punched to the two opposites walls of the box (20) and bent to elongated V-shapes. The tissue tray (24) that is preferably made of cardboard, is placed under the tissues (26), to advance the tissues toward the opening (28) of the box (20) as required. The bouncing capacity of the walls of the box (20), allows the tray (24) to fall in place without being damaged or damaging the steps (22) as it shifts from one step to the next.

Abstract: A container/dispenser for used plastic shopping bags which comprises a walled vessel having an open top and an open bottom to which is secured a converging lower section formed of flexible walls with an internal friction surface terminating in a small opening through which the inserted bags may be withdrawn one at a time when compressed in the vessel by a handled lid pressed into the vessel.

Abstract: A mechanism for automatically pushing up tissues which includes a box and a pusher. The box stores the tissues in layers and has a top wall with an opening formed therein for picking up tissues therethrough. The pusher is disposed under the tissues in the box for pushing up tissues. The pusher includes a flat base, main leg, subleg and a force member. The tissues are placed in layers on the flat base. The main leg has an upper end fixed to a lower face of the base so that the main leg may be freely folded relative to the base. The subleg is connected to the main leg and has a first end contacting the lower face of the base. The first end of the subleg is displaced from the fixed upper end of the main leg for supporting the base in a substantially horizontal state. The force member is attached to the main leg and subleg for forcing the main leg and subleg to push up the base.

The dispenser has surfaces defining a cavity adapted to receive the stack including opposed end surfaces adapted to be engaged by the opposite sides of the stack, and two spaced friction surface portions extending generally toward each other from the upper ends of the end surfaces which are generally arcuate and concave about an axis parallel to the upper ends of the end surfaces.

Abstract: The combination of (1) sheets of note paper in a stack with each of the sheets having a narrow band of adhesive coated on its bottom surface along one edge by which the sheet is adhered to the top surface of the adjacent sheet in the stack, the sheets being stacked with the band of adhesive of adjacent sheets at alternate opposite sides of the stack, and (2) a dispenser comprising a housing closely receiving the top, bottom and first side surfaces of the stack of sheets. The housing includes a top wall of flexible material adjacent the top surface of the stack, which top wall has through flanking slits parallel to and flanking side surfaces of the stack and generally centered along those side surfaces, and spaced edge surfaces extending between the flanking slits. The flanking slits and edge surfaces define two opposed flap like portions of the top wall and a slot through the top wall between the flap like portion through which slot projects a portion of the uppermost sheet in the stack.
