Container and cartridge for dispensing paper products

摘要

A container (10) for dispensing individual paper products (12), the container includes a housing (14) including a plurality of exterior walls defining an interior surface (30) and an interior area (28) within the interior surface (30) for receiving a plurality of the paper products (12). A first end wall (40) defines a dispensing throat (32) for permitting removal of paper products (12) from the interior area (28). A mechanism urges paper products within the interior area (28) toward the dispensing throat (32) in a dispensing direction (44). Protrusions (50) extend from the portion of the interior surface on the second (20) and third exterior walls (22) into the interior area (28) for contacting the paper products (12) to oppose the mechanism for urging. The protrusions (50) on the second wall are staggered from the protrusions on the third wall (22) in the dispensing direction (44). Additional protrusions may be disposed on the first wall (18), fourth wall (24) and first end wall (40) proximate the dispensing throat (32). A cartridge (262) may be provided for holding and dispensing paper products (12) from the container (10).
