ABSTRACT:
A spring holder which converts a box of tissues into a convenient, out-of-the-way storage and dispensing container particularly suitable for mounting in automobiles, the spring holder being characterized by a pair of spring legs adapted for anchoring at one end and at the other end having a support formation in cooperative relation to the spring legs and box for providing yieldable lift support to the tissue box against a reference surface, as well as resistance to lateral movement of the tissue box. In a first embodiment, each of the spring legs is of spring wire and has a spring loop distal from the anchor end and the support formation is comprised of an extension of each of the spring wire legs from the spring loop and having angular bends therein to engage a side, bottom and edge of an opening in the bottom of the tissue box. In a second embodiment, the support formation is comprised of an extension of each of the spring wire legs from the respective spring loop and having bends therein to engage two opposed ends and bottom of the tissue box, and an additional member fixed in transverse relation to the spring leg extensions for engaging the two sides of the box. In a third embodiment, the support formation is comprised of an extension of each of the spring wire legs from the spring loop and a tray fixed to the leg extensions and having a bottom and sides for engaging the bottom and respective sides of said tissue box. In a fourth embodiment, the pair of spring legs are of flat elastically resilient plastic and the support formation is comprised of an extension of the combined spring legs and having angular bends therein to engage a side, bottom and edge of an opening in the bottom of the tissue box.
