Description

141803141803

Den foreliggende opfindelse angår en éngangsble af den i indledningen til krav 1 angivne art.The present invention relates to a disposable diaper of the kind set forth in the preamble of claim 1.

Der er i den sidste tid blevet foreslået forskellige éngangsbleer til brug for børn. Skønt et antal af disse bleer benyt-5 tes til daglig, har nogle enkelte faktorer skabt problemer, som forhindrer en fuldstændig tilfredsstillende ble. For det første repræsenterer formen af barnets lår i skridtområdet en uregelmæssig overflade, i forbindelse med hvilken det er vanskeligt at opnå tæt pasning for bleen; for det andet har det 10 været vanskeligt at opnå en effektiv fluidumbarriere til at forhindre blelækage i skridtområdet; og for det tredie har det været vanskeligt at anbringe en tilstrækkelig mængde absorberende materiale i bleens skridtområde, hvor der er mest behov for absorptionseffektivitet, uden på signifikant måde 15 at forøge bleens volumen og det deraf følgende ubehag for barnet.Recently, various disposable diapers have been proposed for use by children. Although a number of these diapers are used daily, some single factors have created problems that prevent a completely satisfactory diaper. First, the shape of the baby's thighs in the crotch region represents an irregular surface, in which it is difficult to obtain a close fit for the diaper; second, it has been difficult to obtain an effective fluid barrier to prevent diaper leaks in the crotch region; and third, it has been difficult to place a sufficient amount of absorbent material in the diaper's crotch area, where absorption efficiency is most needed, without significantly increasing the volume of the diaper and the resulting discomfort to the child.

Fra beskrivelsen til US patent nr. 3.530.859 kendes en i hovedsagen rektangulær stofble med sammensyede dele, der er foldet under et midterpanel uden at have toppaneler, der ligger hen 20 over en forflade på midterpanelet.Denne ble er foldet i midter området til dannelse af et formet skridtområde. Denne genbrugelige ble har en enkelt fold.From the disclosure of U.S. Patent No. 3,530,859, a substantially rectangular fabric diaper with seamed parts folded underneath a center panel without having top panels lying across a front panel on the center panel is known. This diaper is folded in the center region to form of a shaped step area. This reusable diaper has a single fold.

Det er den foreliggende opfindelses formål at anvise en éngangsble, der tilvejebringer en formgivet pasning i bleens 25 skridtområde og en tætning formet ved en dobbelt foldning af to lag, så man får en bedre tætning end hidtil mod lækage såvel som en bedre pasning. Dette formål tilgodeses ved, at den indledningsvis omtalte ble er ejendommelig ved det i den kendetegnende del af krav 1 anførte. Herved får man en du-blering af den hidtil kendte enkeltfoldning, således at der dannes en meget kraftig tætning, der såvel frembringer en bedre pasning som en bedre fluidumtæt randtætning end hidtil mulig, og desuden ved hjælp af de dublerede bagpudedele i skridtområdet giver barnet en bedre komfort.It is an object of the present invention to provide a disposable diaper which provides a shaped fit in the stride area of the diaper 25 and a seal formed by a double folding of two layers to provide a better seal than hitherto against leakage as well as a better fit. This object is met in that the diaper mentioned above is peculiar to that of the characterizing part of claim 1. This provides a doubling of the known single fold, so that a very strong seal is formed, which produces both a better fit and a better fluid-tight edge seal than hitherto possible, and in addition by means of the doubled rear cushion parts in the crotch area gives the child a better comfort.

141803 2141803 2

Ved. hjælp af det i den kendetegnende del af krav 2 anførte opnår man, at der dannes en lomme til at optage og tilbageholde fluidum, der er løbet af fra midterpudedelen, hvorved dette holdes væk fra barnets hud og hvorved komforten forbedres.By. By means of the characterizing part of claim 2, a pocket is formed to receive and retain fluid which has flowed from the mid-cushion part, thereby keeping it away from the child's skin and thereby improving comfort.

5 Desuden medvirker dette til, at væsketrykket ved bleens randdele og dermed lækagemuligheden reduceres.In addition, this helps to reduce the fluid pressure at the diaphragm portions and thus the possibility of leakage.

Denne virkning forøges yderligere ved det i den kendetegnende del af krav 3 anførte, idet man herved Øger bleens absorptionsevne i skridtområdet uden på signifikant måde at forøge 10 bleens volumen, samtidig med at de mange lag af pudeenheden i skridtområdet tilvejebringer en forbedret tætningsvirkning omkring barnets ben.This effect is further enhanced by the characterizing part of claim 3, thereby increasing the diaper's absorbency in the crotch area without significantly increasing the volume of the diaper, while providing the multiple layers of the crotch pad in the crotch region to provide an improved sealing effect around the child's legs. .

Ved hjælp af det i den kendetegnende del af krav 4 anførte reduceres pudens tykkelse i de prægede områder, hvilket letter 15 den flerdobbelte foldning af bleen langs foldelinierne under fremstillingen.By means of the characterizing part of claim 4, the thickness of the pad is reduced in the embossed areas, which facilitates the multiple folding of the diaper along the fold lines during manufacture.

Også det i den kendetegnende del af krav 5 anførte giver en udførelsesform, der letter foldningen af bleen.The embodiment of claim 5 also provides an embodiment which facilitates the folding of the diaper.

Ved hjælp af det i den kendetegnende del af krav 6 anførte 20 sikres,at fluidum dirigeres hen imod bagpudedelene for at blive holdt tilbage i disse, hvorved faren for lækage yderligere reduceres .By means of the 20 of the characterizing part of claim 6, it is ensured that fluid is directed towards the rear cushion portions to be retained therein, thereby further reducing the danger of leakage.

I fig. 1 og 4 ses en éngangsble 20 med en absorberende pudeenhed 22. Pudeenheden 22 har et par sidekanter 24a og 24b og et 15 par endekanter 26a og 26b, der forbinder sidekanterne 24a og 24b. Som vist i fig. 1 har pudeenheden 22 et fluidumgennem-trængeligt top- eller forsidelag 28, der afgrænser en væsentlig del af bleenhedens forflade 30, et fluidumuigennemtrængeligt bagsidelag 32, der afgrænser en bagside 34 for pudeenhe-20 den, og en absorberende pude 36 anbragt mellem for- og bagsidelagene 28 og 32. Bredden af bagsidelaget 32 er større end bredden af den absorberende pude 36, og bagsidelagets endesek-tioner 38a og 38b er foldet hen over pudeenheden 22's forflade 30 og fastgjort på plads hen over den absorberende pude 36.In FIG. 1 and 4, a disposable diaper 20 is seen with an absorbent pad unit 22. The pad unit 22 has a pair of side edges 24a and 24b and a pair of end edges 26a and 26b connecting the side edges 24a and 24b. As shown in FIG. 1, the cushion unit 22 has a fluid-impervious top or front layer 28 defining a substantial portion of the diaper unit front surface 30, a fluid-impermeable backing layer 32 defining a back side 34 of the cushion unit 20, and an absorbent pad 36 disposed between the front and back the backing layers 28 and 32. The width of the backing layer 32 is greater than the width of the absorbent pad 36, and the end sections 38a and 38b of the backing layer are folded over the front surface 30 of the pad assembly 22 and secured in place over the absorbent pad 36.

25 på tilsvarende måde, som vist i fig. 1, kan længden af bagsidelaget 32 være større end længden af den absorberende pude, således at endesektionerne 40a og 40b kan foldes hen over puden 36's forflade til fastglæggelse af fluidumbarrierer ved pudeenheden 22's ender.25 in a similar manner, as shown in FIG. 1, the length of the backing layer 32 may be greater than the length of the absorbent pad, so that the end sections 40a and 40b can be folded over the front surface of the pad 36 to establish fluid barriers at the ends of the pad unit 22.

30 Bleen ifølge den foreliggende opfindelse kan formes ud fra den i fig. 4 viste pudeenhed på følgende måde: 1A1803 4The diaper of the present invention can be formed from the one shown in FIG. 4 is shown as follows: 1A1803 4

Pudeenheden foldes først langs et par langsgående foldelinier 42a og 42b, som vist i fig. 5, idet foldelinierne 42a og 42b afgrænser et par sidepudedele 44a og 44b, der går mellem sidekanterne 24a og 24b og de første foldelinier 42a og 42b, 5 hvorpå sidepudedelene 44a og 44b igen foldes imod pudeenheden 22's forflade 30. Sidepudedelene 44a og 44b fastgøres til pudeenheden 22's forflade 30 i bleens skridtområde og i én udførelsesform tæt op ad sidekanterne 24a og 24b ved hjælp af hensigtsmæssige midler 46a og 46b, såsom et adhæsiv. Fastgø-10 relsesmidleme 46a og 46b er fortrinsvis forskudt 2-6 cm hen imod endekanten 26a ved bleens forside fra bleens midtpunkt i længderetningen.The cushion unit is first folded along a pair of longitudinal fold lines 42a and 42b, as shown in FIG. 5, the fold lines 42a and 42b defining a pair of side cushion portions 44a and 44b extending between the side edges 24a and 24b and the first fold lines 42a and 42b, 5 then folding the side cushion portions 44a and 44b again against the front surface of the cushion unit 22. the front surface 30 of the pad unit 22 in the crotch area of the diaper and in one embodiment close up the side edges 24a and 24b by suitable means 46a and 46b, such as an adhesive. The fastening means 46a and 46b are preferably offset 2-6 cm towards the end edge 26a at the front of the diaper from the longitudinal center of the diaper.

Derefter foldes pudeenheden vist i fig. 5 langs et andet par langsgående foldelinier 48a og 48b, som ligger mellem 15 sidekanterne 24a og 24b og de første foldelinier 42a og 42b, som vist i fig. 3, idet det andet sæt foldelinier 48a og 48b afgrænser et par kantsektioner 50a og 50b, der foldes imod pudeenheden 22is bagside 34. Kantsektionerne 50a og 50b fastgøres imod pudeenhedens bagside i bleens skridtområde ved 20 hjælp af hensigtsmæssige midler 52a og 52b, såsom et adhæsiv.Then, the cushion assembly shown in FIG. 5 along a second pair of longitudinal fold lines 48a and 48b lying between the side edges 24a and 24b and the first fold lines 42a and 42b, as shown in FIG. 3, the second set of fold lines 48a and 48b defining a pair of edge sections 50a and 50b folded against the backside of the cushion unit 22is 34. The edge sections 50a and 50b are secured to the backside of the cushion unit in the crotch of the diaper by suitable means 52a and 52b, such as an adhesive. .

Den således konstruerede ble 20 ses i fig. 1-3. Som det fremgår bedst af fig. 1 og 3, har bleen en langsgående midterpu-dedel 56 og et par langsgående toppudedele 54a og 54b, der ligger hen over midterpudedelen 56. Toppudedelene 54a og 54b 25 har en fluidumuigennemtrængelig ydre flade vendende imod midterpudedelen 56, da de er dækket af bagsidelaget 32, og fluidumuigennemtrængelige indre fladeområder tæt op ad sidekanterne 24a og 24b, da bagsidelagets endesektioner 38a og 38b går forbi sidekanterne. Som det ses bedst af fig. 2 og 3, har 30 bleen 20 et par dobbeltlagte langsgående bagpudedele 58a og 58b, der ligger under midterpudedelen 56. Bleen 20 kan have et par klæbemiddelstrimler 60a og 60b tæt ved sidekanterne 24a og 24b og tæt ved endekanten 26b til at fastgøre bleen omkring barnet.The diaper thus constructed is seen in FIG. 1-3. As best seen in FIG. 1 and 3, the diaper has a longitudinal mid-cushion portion 56 and a pair of longitudinal cushion portions 54a and 54b lying over the cushion portion 56. The cushion portions 54a and 54b 25 have a fluid-impervious outer surface facing the mid-cushion portion 56 as they are covered by the backing layer 32. and fluid-impermeable inner surface areas close to the side edges 24a and 24b as the end sections 38a and 38b of the backing layer pass past the side edges. As best seen in FIG. 2 and 3, the diaper 20 has a pair of double-layered longitudinal rear cushion portions 58a and 58b located below the center cushion portion 56. The diaper 20 may have a pair of adhesive strips 60a and 60b close to the side edges 24a and 24b and close to the end edge 26b to secure the diaper around the child. .

35 Under lægningen af bleen foldes bleens taljeområder tæt ved 141803 5 endekanterne 26a og 26b ud, som vist i fig. 6, medens fastgørelsesmidlerne 46a og 46b og 52a og 52b holder toppudedelene 54a og 54b og bagpudedelene 58a og 58b på plads imod midter-pudedelen 56. Når bleen foldes ud for lægning, vil toppudede-5 lene følgelig formes efter formen af barnets ben, således at man får en bedre pasning for bleen i skridtet og lårområdet. Bagsidelaget 32 giver en fluidumuigennemtrængelig ydre overflade for toppudedelene 54a og 54b og en fluidumbarriere tæt ved sidekanterne 24a og 24b til at forhindre lækage og væge-10 virkning for bleen i skridtområdet. De dobbeltlagte bagpude-dele 58a og 58b, som ligger hen under midterpudedelen 56, tjener som et lommeorgan til at optage og tilbageholde fluidum-afløb fra midterpudedelen 56, medens de fluidumuigennemtrænge-lige toppudedele dirigerer fluidum hen imod lommerne. Desuden 15 er der tilvejebragt en forøget mængde absorberende pude i bleens skridtområde, således at den kan tilbageholde en større fluidummængde uden at forøge bleens rumfang i skridtområdet, da top- og bagpudedelene holdes på plads ved hjælp af fastgørelsesmidlerne. Den absorberende pudes fire foldelag i skridt-20 området giver også en større spænding for bleen imod barnets hud til opnåelse af en bedre tætningsvirkning til forhindring af laskage omkring barnets ben.During the laying of the diaper, the waist areas of the diaper are folded close to the end edges 26a and 26b, as shown in FIG. 6, while the fasteners 46a and 46b and 52a and 52b hold the top cushions 54a and 54b and the back cushions 58a and 58b in place against the middle cushion portion 56. When the diaper is unfolded, the top cushions 5 will accordingly be shaped according to the shape of the child's legs, thus that you get a better fit for the diaper in the crotch and thigh area. The backing layer 32 provides a fluid impervious outer surface of the top pads 54a and 54b and a fluid barrier close to the side edges 24a and 24b to prevent leakage and wicking action of the diaper in the crotch region. The bilayered back cushion portions 58a and 58b located below the center cushion portion 56 serve as a pocket means for receiving and retaining fluid drains from the center cushion portion 56, while the fluid-impermeable cushion portions direct fluid toward the pockets. In addition, an increased amount of absorbent pad is provided in the diaper stride so that it can retain a greater amount of fluid without increasing the diaper volume in the diaper area as the top and back pad parts are held in place by the fasteners. The four folding layer of the absorbent pad in the crotch region also provides a greater tension for the diaper against the child's skin to achieve a better sealing effect to prevent laceration around the child's legs.

Hvis det ønskes, kan bleen foldes på en lidt anden måde, der beskrives nedenfor. Først kan pudeenheden vist i fig. 4, jvf.If desired, the diaper can be folded in a slightly different manner described below. First, the cushion assembly shown in FIG. 4, cf.

25 fig. 3, foldes langs et par langsgående foldelinier 62a og 62b, således at foldelinierne afgrænser midterpudedelen 56 og parret af sidepudedele 44a og 44b, som foldes imod midter-pudedelens bagsideflade 34. Sidepudedelene foldes derpå langs de ^langsgående foldelinier 42a og 42b mellem de første folde-30 linier 62a og 62b og sidekanterne 24a og 24b, idet foldelinierne 42a og 42b afgrænser et par kantpudedele, som foldes om foldelinierne 62a og 62b og ligger hen over midterpudedelen 56's forflade 30. Kantpudedelenes toppudedelsområder 54a og 54b fastgøres til midterpudedelen 56's forflade, og side-35 pudedelenes bagpudedelsområder 58a og 58b fastgøres til mid-terpudedelens bagside, som ovenfor beskrevet.FIG. 3, is folded along a pair of longitudinal fold lines 62a and 62b such that the fold lines define the center cushion portion 56 and the pair of side cushion portions 44a and 44b which are folded against the back surface 34. The side cushion portions are then folded along the longitudinal fold lines 42a and 42b between the first folds. -30 lines 62a and 62b and the side edges 24a and 24b, the fold lines 42a and 42b defining a pair of edge cushion portions which fold over the crease lines 62a and 62b and extending over the front cushion portion 56 of the cushion 30. The cushion portions of the top cushion portions 54a and 54b the side pads portions 58a and 58b of the cushion portions are attached to the backside of the center cushion portion as described above.

Andre udførelsesformer for pudeenheden 22 er vist i fig. 7 og 8, hvor samme henvisningstal angiver tilsvarende dele. Den absorberende pude 36 i pudeenheden vist i fig. 7 har et antal langsgående indprægninger 70a/ 70b og 70c på hver side af bleens 5 langsgående midterlinie, således at pudens tykkelse er reduceret i de prægede områder. Prægningerne 70a, 70b og 70c svarer til henholdsvis foldelinierne 48a, 42a og 62a på den ene side af bleen og til 48b, 42b og 62b på bleens anden side og letter foldningen af bleenheden langs foldelinierne under frem-10 stillingen takket være den reducerede tykkelse i foldelinie-områderne. På tilsvarende måde har den absorberende pude 36 vist i fig. 8 et antal af med indbyrdes afstand anbragte langsgående pudesegmenter 37a, 37b, 37c og 37d, der afgrænser adskilte områder 39a, 39b og 39c på hver side af bleen i folde-15 liniernes område for at lette foldningen af bleen.Other embodiments of the pad unit 22 are shown in FIG. 7 and 8, where the same reference numerals indicate corresponding parts. The absorbent pad 36 of the pad unit shown in FIG. 7 has a plurality of longitudinal engravings 70a / 70b and 70c on each side of the longitudinal centerline of the diaper 5 so that the thickness of the cushion is reduced in the embossed areas. The embossings 70a, 70b and 70c correspond to the fold lines 48a, 42a and 62a, respectively, on one side of the diaper and to 48b, 42b and 62b on the other side of the diaper, and facilitate the folding of the diaper unit along the fold lines during manufacture, thanks to the reduced thickness of the diaper. score line areas. Similarly, the absorbent pad 36 shown in FIG. 8 shows a plurality of spaced longitudinal cushion segments 37a, 37b, 37c and 37d defining separate regions 39a, 39b and 39c on each side of the diaper in the fold-line region to facilitate folding of the diaper.

I en foretrukket udførelsesform er fastgørelsesmidlerne 46a og 46b anbragt med afstand fra toppudedelene 54a og 54b's sidekanter 24a og 24b, som vist i fig. 9, således at fastgørelsesmidlerne fastholder bagsidelagets endesektioner 38a og 38b 20 imod midterpudedelens forflade ved et sted, der er anbragt med afstand fra sidekanterne 24a og 24b. Efter bleens lægning spændes toppudedelene tæt ved sidekanterne 24a og 24b, og de med afstand anbragte fastgørelsesmidler gør det muligt for top-pudedelenes kantområder 67 tæt op ad sidekanterne at hæve sig 25 fra midterpudedelenes forflade. Kantområderne 67 er således under brug anbragt på det sted, hvor lårene går over i skridtet, og der er dannet en fluidumuigennemtrængelig tætning ved hjælp af kantområderne imod barnets hud til forhindring af lækage.In a preferred embodiment, the fasteners 46a and 46b are spaced apart from the side edges 24a and 24b of the top portions 54a and 54b, as shown in FIG. 9, so that the fasteners hold the end sections 38a and 38b 20 of the backing layer against the front of the center pad portion at a location spaced from the side edges 24a and 24b. After laying the diaper, the top cushion portions are tightened close to the side edges 24a and 24b, and the spaced-apart fasteners allow the cushion portions 67 of the top cushion portions up close to the side edges to rise 25 from the front cushion portions surface. Thus, the rim areas 67 are placed in use at the site where the thighs go into the crotch, and a fluid impervious seal is formed by the rim regions against the child's skin to prevent leakage.

30 De ovenfor beskrevne bleer giver en forbedret pasning i skridtområdet uden på signifikant måde at forøge bleens volumenmasse. Samtidig reduceres fluidumlaskage og der gives en større mulighed for at tilbageholde fluidum i skridtområdet.The diapers described above provide an improved fit in the crotch area without significantly increasing the diaper volume. At the same time, fluid leakage is reduced and a greater opportunity to retain fluid in the crotch area is provided.
