AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

This patent is about a new kind of cloth dispenser and trash receptacle that solves some of the problems of previous designs.

The first part has a hole for dispensing sheets of cloth, while the second part has a slot for disposing of trash. The sheets of cloth can be stored in the first part or on top of it. The device can also have a top and base member that can be easily detached from each other. Overall, the new device is easier to use and more efficient for cleaning and disposing of clothes and trash.

Problems solved by technology

Cloth dispensers, such as tissue dispensers, have the inconvenience that after use of a cloth a user must find a receptacle to dispose of or store the used cloth.

In particular cases, it becomes unsanitary if this is not done.

The prior art as of yet does not envisage or indeed teach a Cloth Dispenser device that is combined with a Disposal Receptacle comprising aspects that include a means of dispensing suitable for reusable cloths tissues (i.e. since there may be difficulties attempting to dispense reusable cloth tissues in the same manner that paper tissue is dispensed) and a manner that they are emptied from the disposal receptacle with the use of a removable base.
