Description
Nappy
Technical Field
The present invention relates to re-usable cloth nappies (diapers).
Background Art Nappies traditionally consisted of a square of cotton material
(toweling) which was folded and secured in position by means of a safety pin. These traditional nappies have suffered from the disadvantage that the wet cloth stays in contact with the baby. A still further disadvantage is that they are not shaped to fit the baby and must be folded in an awkward manner before being applied.
More recently disposable nappies (disposable diapers) have become popular. They are particularly well adapted for maintaining the baby dry.
However a disadvantage of these known disposable nappies is the environmental problem in respect of their manufacture and disposal. Object of the Invention
It is the object of the present invention to overcome or substantially ameliorate the above disadvantages.
Disclosure of Invention
There is disclosed herein a washable nappy (diaper), said nappy being shaped to fit about the legs and waist of a user by having a rear portion tapering forward to a crotch portion, and a front portion extending from the crotch portion, and wherein said nappy is of a laminated structure so as to have an outer layer of absorbent fabric material, an inner layer generally co-terminus with respect to said outer layer and also formed of absorbent fabric material, and an intermediate layer located at least at said crotch portion, said intermediate layer being formed of synthetic material so as to aid in the transfer of moisture from the inner layer to the outer layer.
Preferably the above washable nappy would have the inner layer formed of soft brush cotton or flannelette. The outer layer is preferably formed of plush cotton toweling. The inner layer is formed of 100% bonded polyester fibre.
Brief Description of the Drawing
In the accompanying drawing there is schematically depicted in plan view a washable nappy (diaper).
Description of the Preferred Embodiment
In the accompanying drawing there is schematically depicted a washable nappy 10. The nappy 10 has a rear portion 11 tapering forward to a crotch portion 12. Extending from the crotch portion 12 is a front
portion 13. Secured to the rear portion 11 and front portion 13 are releasable fasteners 14 which engage to secure the nappy in position. For example, the fasteners 14 could be "press tabs". The nappy 10 is shaped so that the side extensions 15 pass around the outer surfaces of the leg of the user to engage the front portion 13.
The nappy 10 is of a laminated structure, with the outer layer being formed of plush cotton toweling. The nappy 10 has an inner layer which is generally co-terminus with respect to the outer layer which inner layer is formed of brush cotton or flannelette.
Sandwiched between the inner and outer layers is an intermediate layer 16 formed of 100% bonded polyester. The inner layer 16 covers at least the crotch portion 12 and extends partly toward the front and rear portions 11 and 13. In use of the above described nappy 10, the inner layer (flannelette) provides a soft surface to abut the baby's skin. The intermediate layer 16 aids in transferring moisture from the inner layer to the outer layer. The outer layer being formed of toweling provides for the absorbtion of the moisture.
