TISSUE DISPENSER FOR A VEHICLE CUP HOLDER

摘要

A tissue dispenser which includes a container portion for holding tissues or other articles. The container portion includes a lower portion which may fit within an adjustable or non-adjustable vehicle cup holder, a transition portion positioned above the lower portion, and an upper portion positioned above the transition portion. The lower portion preferably has a diameter that can fit most non-adjustable vehicle cup holders provided by automobile manufacturers. The transition portion extends outwardly from the lower portion and typically has a flare-like shape. The upper portion extends upward from the transition portion and is preferably larger in height and diameter than the lower portion in order to increase the containment volume for the present tissue dispenser. The lower portion, transition portion and upper portion of the container portion define an interior space for receiving and containing tissues or other articles to be dispensed by the present tissue dispenser. The top of the upper portion defines an opening for inserting tissues or other articles to be dispensed by the present tissue dispenser. The opening of the container portion also receives a dispensing cap for dispensing tissues. The dispensing cap may be removably attached to the container portion so that the dispensing cap may be removed occasionally in order to refill the container portion with tissues. The dispensing cap may be secured to the container portion in a manner that provides a seal for the present tissue dispenser so that evaporation is minimized to prevent the enclosed tissues from drying. The dispensing cap may include an aperture through which the tissues or other articles may be dispensed. The dispensing cap also may include a closable lid to cover the aperture and further seal the tissue dispenser to prevent evaporation through the aperture.
