A system combining a fluid dispenser (10) and a pop-up sheet dispenser (12). The fluid dispenser is a bottle (14) with a spray pump (18), while the sheet dispenser (12) is a tub (28) with an opening (30) through which sheets pop out. The two dispensers snap together to trap and store sheets from a longitudinally folded web ready for pop-out dispensing. The primary embodiment may be used for spray cleaner and paper towels, for example. The sheet dispenser (12) provides the system's base, dispensing from a roll (29) with its core (44) held vertically in the tub (28), located by the tub's core-locating hub (40). The fluid dispenser (10) snaps vertically down into the sheet dispenser (12), acting as its lid and further locating the roll (29) with its hub-stem (26). The roll (29), held loosely by the two hubs, may spin within the system. The tub (28), opening (30), and roll (29) may together rotate relative to the fluid dispenser (14) to reorient the opening (30).In a secondary embodiment, the sheet dispenser (112) dispenses from a stack (129) held vertically between the the bottle (114) and the tub (128) which are side-by-side and snap together horizontally. Again, the bottle (114) acts as a lid for the tub (128).A tertiary embodiment demonstrates how the primary embodiment may be reapplied to other products, such as cosmetic fluids and sheets.

1. In a combined dispensing system for the dispensing of dissimilar yet related products, and more specifically for the combined dispensing of sheet and fluid products, the invention comprising:(a) a sheet dispenser comprising: a sheet-holding enclosure, a dispensing opening in said sheet holding enclosure, and a sheet supply of sheet material of a pattern and grouping appropriate for dispensing through said dispensing opening, (b) a fluid dispenser comprising: a fluid-holding container, and dispensing means for dispensing fluid from said container, and (c) integral capping means for allowing said fluid dispenser to act as a removable cap to access and refill stored sheets in the sheet dispenser and in which said capping means further serve as the primary means by which said sheet dispenser and fluid dispenser are connected together to form a combined sheet and fluid dispenser, said integral capping means when employed further allowing full access to said dispensing opening, said integral capping means comprising: an integral lid shape formed together with said fluid-holding container, a cappable opening in said sheet-holding enclosure, and connecting means for repeatable unattachment and reattachment between said integral lid shape and said cappable opening, whereby the manufacturer saves cost which would normally have been expended towards a separate lid, towards further attachment means for joining said sheet dispenser and said fluid dispenser, and towards additional assembly costs; whereby weight is minimized, providing for a more lightweight and easier to carry and use system for the consumer and providing for reduced shipping costs for the manufacturer; whereby an uncomplicated and easy to understand system with a minimal number of parts is presented to the consumer both upon first inspection when seen on supermarket shelves and upon further use at home; and whereby an inexpensive and easy to use combined fluid and sheet dispensing system is provided for the consumer.
