STACK OF TISSUE PAPER AND DISTRIBUTION THEREFOR

摘要

A stack (10) of interfolded tissue paper sheets, wherein the interfolding pattern is such that each sheet is folded at least once to provide leading and trailing panels with respect to a sheet withdrawal direction, the interfolding pattern is such that for any given sheet (46) in the stack, a trailing panel of an adjacent sheet (45) subsequent in the stack in a sheet withdrawal sequence is in face to face, overlapping relation with a leading panel (46') of the given sheet and a leading panel of an adjacent sheet (48) preceding in the stack in the sheet withdrawal sequence is in face to face, overlapping relation with the trailing panel of the given sheet, wherein the overlap of the given sheet with the trailing panel of the subsequent sheet and the leading panel of the preceding sheet is a partial overlap to provide an overlapping region of the given sheet where the leading and trailing panels of the given sheet overlap with the leading panel of the preceding sheet and the trailing panel of the subsequent sheet and a non-overlapping region of the given sheet wherein the leading and trailing panels of the sheet extend beyond the overlapping faces to a fold portion of the given tissue, thereby to define a stack comprising an overlapping region where adjacent sheets in the stack overlap and non-overlapping regions of the stack on opposed sides of the overlapping region wherein adjacent sheets of the stack do not overlap.
