Moist/dry lavatory and toilet tissue

Abstract

An improved toilet tissue formed of a continuous strip comprising moist and dry tissue sheets in alternating sequence. Adjacent moist and dry tissue sheets are separated by perforations formed in the strip forming lines of weakness or tear lines. Each moist tissue sheet includes a moist pad adhered to one side thereof by an adhesive substance forming a moisture resistant barrier between the tissue and the moist pad. A removable moisture resistant cover sheet covers the moist pad and is adhered to the moist tissue sheet about the periphery of the moist pad. A holding tab is secured to the side of the moist tissue sheet opposite the moist pad. The moist pad is exposed by grasping the holding tab and removing the cover sheet from the moist tissue sheet. In one form the improved toilet tissue is conveniently packaged on a tubular roll. In another form the improved toilet tissue is conveniently packaged in accordion-type folds within a substantially rectangular dispensing container.

  1. 1
    Having thus described the invention in considerable detail and the advantages thereof, what I claim is:1. A cleansing lavatory and toilet paper product comprising a continuous strip having a plurality of moist and dry sections connected in end-to-end alternating sequence;said strip having lines of weakness respectively interposed between the sections forming tear lines whereby the even separation of the sections from the strip is facilitated;each said moist section comprising a top tissue cover and a bottom tissue cover, each treated on one surface with a water-proofing substance and connected peripherally to each other, wherein the waterproof surfaces are face to face, so as to effect a waterproof space compartment therein between;a fibrous moist pad impregnated with liquid being interposed and sealed therein between said covers inside the waterproof space compartment and connected to one side of said compartment, the other side of said compartment being separable from the moist section at the peripheral connection to expose the unconnected surface of the fibrous moist pad for cleansing applications;there being a tab connected to the outside surface of one side of the moist section to facilitate holding said moist section while it is being used;each moist tissue section being connected at the tear lines at its end points to a dry tissue section at each end.
  2. 2
    The lavatory toilet paper product as defined in claim 1 wherein said continuous strip is formed into a continuous roll.
  3. 3
    The lavatory and toilet paper product as defined in 5 claim 1 wherein said continuous strip is folded in accordion-type folds creased at the lines of weakness forming a rectangular stack disposed within a substantially rectangular container having an opening formed therein through which the strip extends to facilitate re10 moval of the moist and dry sections from the container.
  4. 4
    A cleansing toilet tissue or the like comprising:a continuous strip of relatively soft paper comprising a plurality of sections defined by lines of weakness formed in said strip to facilitate separation of adjacent sections, said sections including a plurality of 15 moist sections and a plurality of dry sections, with each moist section being separated from the next adjacent moist section by at least one dry section;each moist section having an upper surface and a lower surface with a moisture resistant coating 20 formed on the upper surface and a tab secured to the lower surface;a moisture impregnated pad adhered to the moisture resistant coating of each moist section;and a cover sheet having a lower surface with a moisture 25 resistant coating formed thereon and positioned over said pad with the moisture resistant coating adjacent said pad and removably adhered to the upper surface of said moist section about the periphery of said pad forming a moisture resistant 30 seal between the respective moisture resistant surfaces of said cover sheet and said moist section. ***** Page 1 of 2 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE CERTIFICATE OF CORRECTION Patent No. 3,921,802______________ Dated November 25, 1975 Inventor(s) JosePh A· Thompson It is certified that error appears in the above-identified patent and that said Letters Patent are hereby corrected as shown below: In Column 1, line 47, delete FIG..
