Abstract

A dispenser-container for wet tissues comprises wet tissues impregnated with liquid and a container, which is a cylinder, a box or a bag made of a flexible and impervious sheet, having the wet tissues contained therein. The tissues are made of a continuous sheet-like material which has weakened lines for separating therealong at a predetermined distance or are made of a plurality of short tissues, adjacent edges of which short tissues are partially overlapped with each other. The wet tissues contained in the container are formed in a rope-like or tape-like shape. Processes for manufacturing the a dispenser-container for wet tissues, and apparatuses for manufacturing the dispenser-container for wet tissues.

Claims

1. A dispenser-container for storing wet tissues and dispensing individual wet tissues, which comprises:

tissues wetted with a liquid comprising a continuous sheet-like material having weakened lines for separating individual tissues at predetermined distances, the continuous sheet-like material gathered in a widthwise direction thereby having a rope-like shape while stored within the container.

2. A dispenser-container of claim 1 wherein the continuous sheet-like material is gathered in a width-wise direction is stored within the container in a coil shape.

3. A dispenser-container of claim 1 wherein the rope-shaped continuous sheet of material is arranged in the form of a cylinder within the container.

4. A dispenser-container of claim 1 wherein the rope-shaped continuous sheet of material is arranged in the form of a rectangle within the container.

5. A dispenser-container of claim 1 wherein the container has a cylindrical shape.

6. A dispenser-container of claim 1 wherein the container is made of a flexible and impervious sheet.

7. A dispenser-container for storing wet tissues and dispensing individual wet tissues, which comprises:

tissues wetted with a liquid and comprising a plurality of individual tissues, said individual tissues having overlapping ends to form a continuous sheet-like material and gathered in a width-wise direction having a rope-like or tape-like shape while stored within the container.

8. A dispenser-container of claim 7 wherein the continuous sheet-like material is in the form of a coil while stored within the container.

9. A dispenser-container of claim 7 wherein the rope-like or tape-like shaped continuous sheet of material is arranged in the form of a cylinder.

10. A dispenser-container of claim 7 wherein the rope-like or tape-like shaped continuous sheet of material is arranged in the form of a rectangle.

11. A dispenser-container of claim 7 wherein the container has a cylindrical shape.

12. A dispenser-container of claim 7 wherein the container is made of a flexible and impervious sheet.

13. A dispenser-container for storing wet tissues and dispensing individual wet tissues, which comprises:

tissues wetted with liquid comprising a continuous sheet-like material having a width, and weakened lines for separating individual tissues at predetermined spacings, the continuous sheet-like material gathered in a width-wise direction to form a rope-like or tape-like shape having a width, the width of the rope-like or tape-like shape being smaller than the width of the continuous sheet-like material, the gathered sheet-like material having a rope-like or tape-like shape arranged in a container, the arrangement of the rope-like or tape-like continuous material having a width, which width of the arrangement is large than the width of the rope-like or tape-like shape.

14. A dispenser-container of claim 13 wherein the continuous sheet-like material gathered in a width-wise direction is stored within the container in the shape of a coil.

15. A dispenser-container of claim 13 wherein the rope-like or tape-like shaped material is arranged in the form of a cylinder within the container.

16. A dispenser-container of claim 13 wherein the rope-like or tape-like shaped continuous sheet material is arranged in the form of a rectangle within the container.

17. A dispenser-container of claim 13 wherein the container has a cylindrical shape.

18. A dispenser-container of claim 13 wherein the container is made of a flexible and impervious sheet material.

26. A dispenser-container of claim 13 wherein the continuous material is gathered in a width-wise direction to have a rope-like shape in the container.

19. A dispenser-container for storing wet tissues and dispensing individual wet tissues, which comprises:

tissues having a width, wetted with a liquid comprising a plurality of individual tissues arranged with overlapping ends to form a continuous sheet-like material, the sheet-like material being gathered in a width-wise direction to form a rope-like or tape-like shape having a width, the width of the rope-like or tape-like shape being smaller than the width of the end of the individual tissues, the gathered individual tissues with overlapping ends and a rope-like or tape-like shape arranged in a container, arrangement of the rope-like or tape-like gathered continuous sheet-like material having a width, the width of the arrangement is larger than the width of the rope-like or tape-like shape.

20. A dispenser-container of claim 19 wherein the plurality of individual tissues arranged with overlapping ends and gathered in a width-wise direction to form a rope-like or tape-like shape is stored in the container in the form of a coil.

21. A dispenser-container of claim 19 wherein the rope-like or tape-like shaped individual tissues with overlapping ends is arranged in the form of a cylinder.

22. A dispenser-container of claim 19 wherein the rope-like or tape-like shape individual sheets with overlapping ends is arranged in the form of a rectangle in the container.

23. A dispenser-container of claim 19 wherein the container has a cylindrical shape.

24. A dispenser-container of claim 19 wherein the container is made of a flexible impervious sheet material.

25. A dispenser-container of claim 19 wherein the plurality of the individual tissues with overlapping ends is gathered in a width-wise direction to have a rope-like shape in the container.
