as illustrated in the perspective of fig1 a , 1b , 2 a and 2 b a dispenser 10 is shown having a generally vertical configuration , although the dispenser can easily be used horizontally and other and different exterior configurations may be used as desired as demonstrated in part in the differing cylindrical shape shown in fig1 a and 1b , and rectangular shape shown in fig2 a and 2b . dispenser 10 is comprised of two major sections , a dispenser section 16 separated from a disposal section 15 by the dispenser section top 18 and / or disposal section bottom 18 . dispenser section 16 defines a volume to house a supply of tissues 30 that can be pulled through a dispensing orifice 31 defined in the bottom wall 42 of the dispenser 10 in a “ pop out ” manner well known in the prior art . the tissues may either be sealed into a disposable dispenser section 16 or refilled with a tissue cartridge as shown and described in fig7 . the disposal section 15 defines a refuse volume 27 for receiving used tissues . used tissues are inserted into the refuse volume 27 through a disposal orifice 40 located on the top wall 45 of the disposal section 15 . the refuse volume 27 can be increased or decreased by expanding or contracting the flexible bellows 26 of the disposal section 15 . the disposal volume 27 is shown at its minimum in fig1 a and 2a where the flexible bellows 26 are compressed and at its maximum volume in fig1 b and 2b where the flexible bellows 26 are uncompressed . the flexible bellows 26 can be made from any material that provides flexible movement with sufficient rigidity to hold its shape , such as plastic , rubber or cardboard . the dispenser 10 preferably is provided with a handle 50 to permit easy carrying ; however , it should be understood that other carrying or fastening techniques may be employed as well such as a longer cord or rope or a sliding eyelet and bolt fastening apparatus allowing the dispensers to be removably secured to a supporting wall or structure . the dispenser section 16 is shown in greater detail in the perspective of fig3 . in this embodiment the dispenser section 16 is a disposable unit in which the tissues 30 are pre - packaged inside the dispenser volume for removal through the dispensing orifice 31 . upon purchase of the dispenser 10 or installation of a new dispenser section 16 with a fresh supply of tissues 30 the dispensing orifice 31 is covered with a removable seal to keep the tissues 30 clean and dry . the disposal section 15 is shown in greater detail in the perspective of fig4 . in this embodiment the dispenser section 15 has a disposal orifice 40 in the top wall 45 of the disposal section 15 permitting used tissues to be placed in the refuse volume 27 . the disposal orifice 40 can also be covered by an optional insert plug 41 to shelter the tissue refuse from the outside atmosphere . in one embodiment of the dispenser 10 , depicted in fig5 a , 5b , 6 a and 6 b the dispenser section 16 and the disposal lid 48 are removable from the dispenser 10 . the flexible bellows 26 section has connecting ends . in fig5 a and 6a , the disposal cap connecting end 42 a and dispenser section end 42 b are threaded to mate , respectively , with the disposal lid threads 43 a and dispenser section threads 43 b . in fig5 b and 6b , the disposal cap connecting end 46 a and dispenser section end 46 b are formed to fit together either by adhesion or fastening means , such as glue or snaps , with the disposal lip 47 a and dispenser section lip 47 b . removal of the dispenser section 16 permits the user to resupply tissues 30 by attaching a new dispenser section 16 . removal of the disposal lid 48 or the dispenser section 16 permits the user to empty and / or clean the refuse volume 27 . in another embodiment of the dispenser 10 , depicted in fig7 the dispenser section 16 defines a dispensing volume 20 adapted to removably house and secure a tissue cartridge 25 . the tissue cartridge 25 is secured by fitting snugly into the dispensing volume 20 or alternatively by using clips or other restraining devices . the tissue cartridge 25 contains a multiplicity of tissues 30 that can be pulled through the dispensing orifice 31 defined in the bottom wall 42 of the dispenser section 16 . access to the dispensing volume 20 is provided by a pivotable door 51 forming all of or a portion of the bottom wall 42 of the dispenser section 16 . the door 51 is mounted to the disposal section 16 by hinges 52 and is secured in a closed position by a latch mechanism 53 positioned opposite the hinges 52 . when the tissues 30 in a tissue cartridge 25 are exhausted , it may easily be replaced with a new tissue cartridge 25 . the preceding description of the invention has shown and described certain embodiments thereof ; however , it is intended by way of illustration and example only and not by way of limitation . those skilled in the art should understand that various changes , omissions and additions may be made to the invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention .
