Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
Broadly, the present invention provides a disposable cardboard container for facial tissue which in size is not unlike those now used and which are the standard for the industry and which would be used on the now existing production lines with minimal changes. The new and novel end opening of this container with the internal floating control plate which controls the interply friction between the facial tissue layers makes this dispenser unique in that it does dispense one and only, one, facial tissue at a time and causes the next consecutive tissue to protrude through the end opening as a facial tissue is removed.

Why it's free to use
- Filed March 7, 1994. No grant is recorded for it in Canada; had it been granted, its 20-year term would have ended March 7, 2014.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by March 7, 2016.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
