Abstract
A combination of a liner for protection of a woman when trying on underwear or a bathing suit and a dispenser for the liner. The combination includes: a roll of the liner having transverse perforations spaced along its length to facilitate the manual tearing of the liner into individual sheets. Each sheet is of a size which is suitable for insertion into the crotch-area of an under-garment or a bathing suit. The liner is composed of fabric which is tear-resistant and comfortable to the woman. The dispenser for the liner may be a container in which a roll of interconnected liners is mounted for rotation. Alternatively, the dispenser may be a box containing a number of individual sheets of liner.
Description
This invention relates to liners for minimizing the risk of unsanitary conditions in garments, and more particularly, to a removable and disposable liner for insertion into a garment such as underwear or a bathing suit, which may be tried on by more than one person. The invention also relates to a dispenser for such a liner.
For sanitary reasons, women who are shopping for a garment which will contact their skin, such as underwear or a bathing suit, are advised not to remove their underwear before trying on the garment. This creates a problem for a woman because if she wears her underwear under a new garment, it is difficult for her to determine if the new garment fits properly or if it is visually flattering. This also creates a problem for a retailer because if a new garment comes into contact with the skin of a woman who has tried it on but rejected it, the garment may become unsaleable I have invented a disposable liner which largely obviates these problems. The liner is composed of a rectangular piece or sheet of fabric which is soft, pliable and preferably non-absorbent. The sheet is of a size which fits into the crotch area of an undergarment or a bathing suit and is provided with an adhesive which adheres to the fabric of the garment so that the sheet does not fold or crumple when the garment is being tried on. Preferably, the fabric is composed of non-woven material because such material can be readily manufactured to have the properties required for the liner.
A dispenser is included with the liner so that the liner may be available in the fitting room of a store in which lingerie or women's bathing suits are sold.
Briefly, my invention is a combination of a liner for protection of a person when trying on underwear or a bathing suit; and a dispenser for the liner. The combination includes: a roll of the liner having transverse perforations spaced along its length to facilitate the manual tearing of the liner into individual pieces. Each piece is of a size which is suitable for insertion into the crotch-area of an undergarment or a bathing suit. The liner is composed of fabric which is tear resistant and comfortable to a wearer. The combination also includes a dispenser for a roll of intercon-nected liners before they are separated into individual pieces or a receptacle for individual pieces of liner.
The combination of liner and dispenser are described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings in which:
Figure 1 is a perspective view of a rectangular piece or sheet of the liner;
Figure 2 is a perspective view of a roll of the liner; and Figure 3 is a perspective view of a dispenser of the liner.
Like reference characters refer to like parts throughout the description of the combination of liner and dispenser.
With reference to Figure 1, the liner, generally 10, is rectangular in shape having a long-itudinal axis 12-12 and a transverse axis 14-14. Adhesive is applied in two strips 16a,b on one face 18 of the liner. As illustrated, the two adhesive strips are spaced apart from one another and are longitudinally extending.
¨ ¨
The adhesive strips function to cause the liner to adhere to the crotch-area of underwear or a bathing suit so that the liner remains in place and does not fold or crumple for the relatively short time that the garment is being tried on by a woman in a fitting room.
However, the adhesive strips should not cling so tightly to the garment that it damages it when the liner is being removed. As well, since the liners may be attached to each other in a roll before they are separ-ated into individual sheets for use, the adhesive should not be so strong that the liners adhere so strongly to each other that they cannot be separated from one another without tearing them.
To prevent the liners from adhering to each other, a backing strip of material to which the adhesive strips do not adhere, such as wax paper, may be placed over the adhesive strips while the liners are in a roll or while they in a dispenser before use. Before a liner is inserted into a garment, the backing strip is removed so that when the liner is inserted into a garment it will adhere to it.
With reference to Figures 2 and 3, as previously indicated, the liner, before use, may be in a roll which is wound about a central core. The core may be a sleeve or roll of cardboard 20 as illustrated in Figure 2, or a solid cylinder 22, as illustrated in Figure 3.
When it is in a roll, the sheets are interconnected end to end and are separated from one another by a line of perforations.
The perforations extend transversely across the roll and are spaced apart from each other by a distance equal to the length of an individual sheet. The perforations accordingly define the front and back edges 26,28, of each sheet when it is torn from the roll.
The sheets of liner, before they are used, need not be in a roll. The liner may have been formed in individual sheets and stacked in a dispenser consisting simply of a box which is open to permit removal of the sheets, one at a time.
In Figure 3, the dispenser, generally 30, is a housing in which a roll of the liner is mounted for rotation. The outer end of the roll extends through a slit 38 in the front wall 34 of the housing where individual sheets of the liner can be torn off for use, one at a time.
In use, a sheet of the liner is torn off from a roll or extracted from a dispenser by a woman who intends to try on a garment. The woman then turns the strip upside down from the position shown in Figure 1 and places the strip in the crotch area of a garment. The adhesive strips are then in contact with the garment and adhere to it while the woman tries on the garment knowing that her body is not touching the crotch area of a garment previously tried on by another woman.
For reasons of economy, the liner is preferably non-absorbent such as non-woven material as previously indicated. However the liner may be composed of absorbent material despite its generally higher cost.
It will be understood, of course, that modifications can be made in the liner-dispenser combination without departing from the scope and purview of the invention as defined in the appended claims.
