Abstract
The invention relates to a packet (20) of stacked absorbent paper tissues (64) of the type which comprises a sheet of flexible material, such as a plastic wrapping sheet (21) which comprises opening means allowing a region to be uncovered for grasping at least one tissue (64) so as to extract it individually from the wrapper (21), and of the type which is of parallelepipedal overall shape defined by a height (H), a width (L) and a thickness (E), characterized in that the height (H) and the width (L) are equal so that the packet (20) has square front (22) and rear (24) frontal faces.
Claims15
Packet (20) of stacked absorbent paper tissues (64) of the type which comprises a sheet of flexible material, such as a plastic wrapping sheet (21) which comprises opening means allowing a region (86) to be uncovered for grasping at least one tissue (64) so as to extract it individually from the wrapper (21), and of the type which is of parallelepipedal overall shape defined by a height (H), a width (L) and a thickness (E), characterized in that the height (H) and the width (L) are equal so that the packet (20) has square front (22) and rear (24) frontal faces.
Packet (20) of tissues (64) according to the preceding claim, characterized in that each tissue (64) is folded in such a way as to form a square, the number of absorbent paper thicknesses of which is a multiple of four.
Packet (20) of tissues (64) according to the preceding claim, characterized in that each folded tissue (64) has sixteen thicknesses of absorbent paper.
Packet (20) of tissues (64) according to the preceding claim, characterized in that folding each tissue (64) into sixteen thicknesses consists in folding four panels (60) of approximately equal width, separated by longitudinal fold lines (54, 56, 58), the directions of folding of the panels (60) with respect to the outer fold lines (54, 58) being mutually opposing, then in folding the panels (60) in succession about a first fold line (61) and a second fold line (62).
Packet (20) of tissues (64) according to any one of the preceding claims, characterized in that its height (H) and its width (L) are between 50 and 58 millimetres.
Packet (20) of tissues (64) according to any one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the opening means comprise a flap (36) which can move between an open position uncovering the region (86) for grasping at least one folded tissue (64) and a closed position covering the region (86) for grasping.
Packet (20) of tissues (64) according to the preceding claim, characterized in that the moving flap (36) is articulated about an axis (70) approximately parallel to one of the edges of the packet (20).
Packet (20) of tissues (64) according to the preceding claim, characterized in that the moving flap (36) comprises means (42) for holding it in the closed position, such as an adhesive strip which can be unstuck and restuck several times onto a fixed part of the wrapper (21).
Packet (20) of tissues (64) according to the preceding claim, characterized in that the first portion (76) is an arc of a circle, the centre of which corresponds approximately to the point of concurrency of the three edges which delimit the corner of the packet (20).
