Abstract
A gum disposal pocket includes a back wall, a pair of foldable side wings extended from two sides of the back wall respectively, a holding panel extended from a top side of the back wall and adapted for holding the pair of side wings in position, and a pocket cover extended from a top side of the front panel and adapted for closing and sealing the gum disposal pocket.
Claims19
A gum disposal unit, comprising:
- a plurality of gum disposal pockets each of which comprises:
- a back wall made of foldable sheet material;
- two side wings, each having an attachment hole formed thereon, extended from a left and a right side of said back wall and folded on top of said back wall in such a manner that said two attachment holes overlaps with each other and to form a pocket body having a gum cavity which has a top receiving open, wherein a width of said gum cavity is reduced gradually from said top receiving opening to a bottom of said gum cavity, and wherein said two attachment holes communicate said gum cavity with an outside of said pocket body;
- and
- a pocket cover extended from a top side of said back wall and adapted for being folded to close said top receiving opening and cover said sealing opening;
- and
- a pocket dispenser having a storing chamber for storing said gum disposal pockets therein, wherein said storing chamber communicates with an outside of said gum disposal pocket container through an opening.

A method of making a gum disposal pocket, comprising the steps of:
- (a) providing a piece of square paper which has a predefined side length;
- (b) forming six attachment holes onto six predefined positions of said square paper, such that when said square paper is folded to form said gum disposal pocket, said six attachment holes overlappedly form a sealing opening;
- (c) folding said square paper diagonally into a 2-layered isosceles triangle having a first and a second layer, wherein said isosceles triangle has a base and two equal-length hypotenuses;
- (d) providing three folding lines on the isosceles triangle to define a left corner portion, a right corner portion, and a top corner portion respectively, said central portion being defined between said left corner portion said right corner portion and said top corner portion;
- (e) folding said left and right corner portions of said first and second layers along said first and second folding lines respectively so as to form a first side wing and a second side wing to overlappedly cover said central portion;
- (f) folding said top corner portion of said first layer downwardly along said third folding line so as to form said holding panel to cover said second side wing and define a receiving cavity between said first layer and said second layer of said back wall;
- and
- (g) folding said top corner portion of said second layer downwardly along said third folding line so as to form a pocket cover adapted to cover said receiving cavity and seal said gum disposal pocket.
