Abstract:

A cup dispenser for dispensing cups of differing size with variable extraction force includes: (a) a housing configured to receive a stack of disposable cups, the housing defining a housing opening as well as support means for receiving a dispensing ring member; (b) means for defining a dispensing aperture at the housing opening comprising at least one dispensing ring mounted on the housing support means therefor, the means for defining the dispensing aperture being generally configured to releasably retain the stack of disposable cups within said housing and require a predetermined extraction force to extract a cup from the stack in the housing, the required predetermined extraction force being variable depending upon the brim diameter of the cup. The dispenser may include 2 interchangeable rings, each of which is adapted for a specific size cup, or a single ring which requires an extraction force that varies with cup size.

Abstract:

A tissue paper of improved softness, strength and absorbency; and a manufacturing process for such a tissue paper where the generation of foam is reduced, or eliminated altogether. These are obtained using a tissue paper softener system comprising a substantially equimolar, ion-paired mixture of an anionic surfactant and a cationic quaternary ammonium compound, wherein the softener system is formulated such that the charge density of the anionic surfactant/cationic quaternary ammonium compound mixture will be about neutral.
