Abstract:

An improved wrapper for planar articles that are to be stacked in a dispenser and manually engaged by a tab. Several embodiments of wrappers are discussed, each having an integral tab cut from a panel of the wrapper and extended from the wrapper. In one form, alternating wrapper tabs are of alternating positions so as to reduce the possibility of one wrapper inadvertently pulling and adjacent, superimposed wrapper with it when the tab of the lower wrapper is pulled, to dispense an article from the dispenser.

Abstract:

A soap leaf packet for individually dispensing packets from a stack thereof contained within a housing, includes a wrapper having a plurality of flaps foldable about a soap leaf and which are seguentially dispensable from the bottom of the stack. The wrapper is provided with a tab having two segments with one serving as a depending pull tab which, when activated, elevates one wrapper flap, thus pushing up an overlying wrapper flap, so that continued pulling on the tab opens up one flap and urges the other flap to engage the pull tab of the next-above packet, to insure its projection through a bottom opening in the housing and to cause the opening of the other flap. In this manner the contained soap leaf is automatically readied for grasping by the user.
