Abstract

A pressed sanitary tissue receptacle and dispenser comprised of a main body which defines nested inner and outer housing walls. The outer housing wall houses a quantity of liquid which is adapted to initially be isolated from a volume defined by the inner housing wall which houses the dry tissue. In one embodiment, the inner and outer housing walls are covered on their lower ends by a lower cover, and the upper ends of the inner and outer housing walls are covered on their upper ends by an upper cover. The upper cover may be a foil sheet. The liquid is permitted to enter the volume defined by the inner housing wall and become absorbed by the tissue upon the exertion of force on the upper cover, which causes the tissue to press against and deflect the lower cover in such a manner as to cause the lower cover to dislodge from sealing engagement with the inner cylinder.

Claims

1. (canceled)

2. (canceled)

3. A sanitary tissue receptacle and dispenser comprised of:

a main body defined by inner and outer housing walls, a volume between the inner and outer housing walls defining a liquid reservoir, a volume within the inner housing wall defining a tissue storage reservoir;

a lower cover adapted to cover open lower ends of the inner and outer housing walls;

an upper cover adapted to cover open upper ends of the inner and outer housing walls;

the lower cover defining an inner shoulder adapted to sealingly but disengagingly nest within the open lower end of the inner housing wall, the lower cover being sealingly connected to the open lower end of the outer cylinder;

a quantity of liquid housed within the liquid reservoir; and

a tissue housed within the tissue storage reservoir.

4. The sanitary tissue receptacle and dispenser of claim 3, wherein the upper cover is a foil sheet sealingly connected to upper peripheral edges of the inner and outer housing walls, and the lower cover is a flexible disc.

5. The sanitary tissue receptacle and dispenser of claim 3, wherein:

the liquid is permitted to enter the tissue storage reservoir and become absorbed by the tissue upon the exertion of force on the upper cover, which causes the tissue to press against and deflect the lower cover in such a manner as to cause the inner shoulder to dislodge from the inner housing wall.

6. The sanitary tissue receptacle and dispenser of claim 3, wherein:

the lower cover has a concave shape when the inner shoulder is nested with the inner housing wall, and takes either a concave or flat shape when the tissue is pressed against and deflects the lower cover.

7. The sanitary tissue receptacle and dispenser of claim 3, further comprising a sealing sheet placed between the lower cover and the tissue storage reservoir.

8. A sanitary tissue receptacle and dispenser comprised of:

a main body which includes nested inner and outer housing walls, a liquid reservoir being defined by a volume between the inner and outer housing walls, a tissue storage reservoir being defined by the inner housing wall, the liquid reservoir housing a quantity of liquid which is isolated from the tissue storage reservoir.

9. The sanitary tissue receptacle and dispenser of claim 8, further comprising:

an upper cover adapted to cover open upper ends of the inner and outer reservoirs; and

a lower cover adapted to cover open lower ends of the inner and outer reservoirs.

10. The sanitary tissue receptacle and dispenser of claim 8, wherein:

the upper cover is a foil sheet sealingly connected to upper peripheral edges of the inner and outer housing walls; and

the lower cover is a flexible disc defining an outer shoulder which nests with a lower peripheral edge of the outer housing wall, and an inner shoulder which nests with a lower peripheral edge of the inner housing wall.

11. The sanitary tissue receptacle and dispenser of claim 8, wherein:

the liquid is permitted to enter the tissue storage reservoir and become absorbed by the tissue upon the exertion of force on the upper cover, which causes the tissue to press against and deflect the lower cover in such a manner as to cause the inner shoulder to dislodge from the inner housing wall.

12. The sanitary tissue receptacle and dispenser of claim 9, further comprising a foil sheet placed between the lower cover and the tissue storage reservoir.

13. A sanitary tissue receptacle and dispenser comprised of:

a main body which includes nested inner and outer cylinders, a liquid reservoir being defined by a volume between the inner and outer cylinders, a tissue storage reservoir being defined by the inner cylinder, the liquid reservoir housing a quantity of liquid which is isolated from the tissue storage reservoir.

14. The sanitary tissue receptacle and dispenser of claim 13, further comprising:

an upper cover adapted to cover open upper ends of the inner and outer reservoirs; and

a lower cover adapted to cover open lower ends of the inner and outer reservoirs.

15. The sanitary tissue receptacle and dispenser of claim 13, wherein:

the upper cover is a foil sheet sealingly connected to upper peripheral edges of the inner and outer cylinders; and

the lower cover is a flexible disc sealingly connected to a lower peripheral edge of the outer cylinder, the lower cover defining an inner shoulder which nests with a lower peripheral edge of the inner cylinder.

16. The sanitary tissue receptacle and dispenser of claim 13, wherein:

the liquid is permitted to enter the tissue storage reservoir and become absorbed by the tissue upon the exertion of force on the upper cover, which causes the tissue to press against and deflect the lower cover in such a manner as to cause the inner shoulder to dislodge from the inner housing wall.

17. The sanitary tissue receptacle and dispenser of claim 14, further comprising a foil sheet placed between the lower cover and the tissue storage reservoir.
