Device for hygienic disposal of hygiene articles

The invention relates to a device for the hygienic disposal of used hygiene articles, such as sanitary towels, panty liners or the like.

Hygiene articles are designed in such a way that they have adhesive points on the non-absorbent side so that they adhere directly to the fabric of the underwear worn and prevent unwanted slipping. However, when these hygiene articles are disposed of by rolling or folding them up, the adhesive properties are only partially or no longer present.

Safe disposal can therefore no longer be guaranteed, so there is a risk that the contaminated hygiene product will open and the contamination will escape. The disposal of hygiene products is therefore almost always fraught with hygiene problems.

According to the state of the art, proposed solutions are known.

One solution is to stick disposal bags onto the hygiene products, which also serve as protective film. Another option is to use packaging sleeves made of plastic film with a self-adhesive surface, which can be used both for storing and for disposing of the hygiene products.

The disadvantage of these known disposal devices is, on the one hand, the high material consumption (plastic film or similar) and the resulting waste, and on the other hand, these hygiene products are far too expensive. Cheaper hygiene products are not provided with such a disposal bag or packaging cover.

Based on the prior art, it is the object of the invention to provide an improved, particularly cost-effective and waste-reducing device for single use, with which a safe disposal of used hygiene articles, in particular hygiene articles without attached disposal packaging, is possible and an unintentional opening of the rolled up or folded article is prevented.

This task is solved using a device of the type mentioned above by means of an adhesive strip which wraps around the hygiene article rolled up with the used side facing inwards and fixes it in the rolled up form.

The adhesive strips are preferably made of sturdy, tear-resistant material and have a self-adhesive layer on one side, which is then covered by a glue-repellent, removable protective strip. This design ensures that the rolled up or folded hygiene article is largely prevented from being opened accidentally.

The adhesive strips are conveniently 21 cm long and 2 cm wide so that the hygiene article can be re-attached several times, thus improving the fixation of the hygiene article in its rolled up or folded form.

5 Preferably, six adhesive strips are perforated into one sheet and five such sheets are placed in the packaging provided. This allows them to be stored as a unit and to be readily available at any time.

In a preferred embodiment, the packaging sleeve is designed as an envelope with dimensions of 11 cm x 6.5 cm. This small envelope allows the user to attach it at home to save space or to carry it with them.

Preferably, a small adhesive area is provided on the back of the envelope so that the envelope and its contents can be stuck to toilet tiles or similar. The adhesive area of the envelope is covered with a glue-repellent, removable film so that it is covered when the envelope is carried in handbags or similar and sticking to other utensils carried is prevented.

The invention is explained in more detail below using an embodiment shown in the drawing. It shows:

adhesive strips;

is Figure 2 side view of the adhesive strip;

Figure 3 Back of the envelope.

Figure 1 shows a sheet 1 consisting of six adhesive strips 2 joined together by perforations 3.

The side view of an adhesive strip 2 is shown in Figure 2. The adhesive strip 2 is provided on one side with a glue-repellent, removable protective strip 4 and with a self-adhesive layer 5 underneath.

Figure 3 shows the back of an envelope 6 provided with an adhesive point 7 covered by a glue-repellent, removable protective film 8.

For use, an adhesive strip 2 is first torn off from the sheet 1. 5 The remaining adhesive strips 2 are stored in the envelope 6. Then the protective strip is removed from the adhesive strip and the rolled-up

Hygiene products are wrapped and glued. The rolled up and fixed hygiene products are then disposed of in the designated waste container.
