The facial tissue sanitary system is a unitized system having a container with a tissue dispensing section and a tissue disposal section, separated from one another by an intervening wall. Each section has a opening through which tissue passes, with a removable adhesive closure sealer provided for sealing of the tissue disposal opening. The container can be situated in a base over which a sleeve moves horizontally to cover the container, the sleeve having upper surface openings corresponding to the openings in the sections. A cover tray is provided to serve alternatively as a cover for the upper surface of the sleeve or a stand for the base, with an identity tag being optionally affixed to the closure lid. The closure sealer is useable to seal the refuse disposed in the tissue disposal section when the container is to be discarded. The construction of the system lends itself to greater sanitation in the work place not only for the user but also for the cleaning staff which collects the refuse generated by the user and fellow workers.
A facial tissue sanitary system comprising a container having a generally rectangular parallelepipedic shape including a first endwall, a second endwall, a first sidewall, a second sidewall, a bottom surface, an upper surface, the interior of said container being divided into a tissue dispensing section and a tissue disposing section by a dividing wall extending between said sidewalls and said upper and lower surfaces, said tissue dispensing section having a first opening in said upper surface to permit withdrawal of tissue therefrom, said tissue disposing section having a second opening in said upper surface to permit insertion of tissue therein, and a removable adhesive closure sealer disposed on said upper surface of said container, said closure sealer having a surface area greater than the dimensions of said second opening and being removable from said container and affixable to the perimeter area surrounding said second opening.
