ABSTRACT:
Tissue dispensing system for dispensing a stack of interleaved facial tissues from a wall mounted type dispensing cabinet employs a plastic overwrap package of facial tissues having a perforated opening which automatically adheres a front face of the package to a slot in the cabinet to provide inproved tissue dispensing. As each tissue is dispensed, tensile forces are applied to the front face of the package along defined lines by the edges of the tissue passing past the corners of the opening in the package causing the front face of the package to bend into a truncated, hip-roof shaped structure having the truncated end depending from the slot in the cabinet. The tensile forces on the front face cause compressive forces to be applied about a perimeter region situated between the outer extremes of the front face and the outer extremes of a back face of the package in a sense opposing movement of the stack of tissues away from the back face of the package as the stack of tissue diminishes and in a manner preventing collapse of the plastic package during dispensing of the tissues.
