Existing tissue boxes with a slotted cellophane opening or narrow rectangula r opening, do not permit easy or convenient 100% retrieval of the last few remaining tissues. Most tissue boxes have an interwoven pop up design. As a tissue is extracted it pulls up the next tissue for easy retrieval. It is a common fact this system does not function efficiently to enable retrieval of the last few remaining tissues. Most specifically when the tissues in the box or container reach the approximate amount of 15% to 20% or less remaining in the containe r. In many cases the consumer may in frustration at being unable to extract remaining tissues, discard the box with the remaining tissues. This undoubtably results in unnecessary wast e and cost to the consumer. I have found this inconvenience can be overcome by adding an accordion style folds/ pleated paperboard spring system installed in the bottom of the tissue box, compress ed between the tissues and the floor of the tissue box such as in Kleenex, Scotties or No Name The objective of the spring system is to permit retrieval of the last remaining tissues without having to dig deep into the box to retrieve the tissues. As the tissues become less and le ss the folds expand upward, pushing against the tissues and keeping them tight to the retrieval opening permitting the last tissue to be extracted. It is my opinion that the manufacturing of the folds in mass quantities and the cost involved to adding this system, would be offset in the extra sales and choice by consumers for this extra convenience.
