Description

i 146672in 146672

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

Der blevet foreslået forskellige éngangsbleer til brug for børn, hvoraf nogle har paneler eller læg. Foræidre har foretrukket, at sådanne bleer har forud fastgjorte klæbebåndsstrimler til fastgørelse af bleerne om barnet, hvorved man eliminerer behovet for at have særskilte klæbebåndsruller ved hånden, når bleerne lægges. Sådanne klæbebåndsstrimler kan have en fastgørelsesende med en klæbemiddelbærende flade dækket ved hjælp af en frigørelsesbane. Frigørelsesbanerne fjernes under bleens lægning, og fastgørelsesenderne benyttes til at fastgøre bleen på barnet.Various disposable diapers have been proposed for use by children, some of which have panels or sheds. Preferably, such diapers have pre-attached adhesive tape strips for attaching the diapers to the child, eliminating the need to have separate adhesive tape rolls on hand when the diapers are laid. Such adhesive strips may have a fastening end with an adhesive-bearing surface covered by a release lane. The release webs are removed during the diaper laying and the attachment ends are used to attach the diaper to the child.

Man har fundet, at brugen af særskilte frigørelsesstrimler for klæbebåndsstrimlerne har medført ubehageligheder for forældrene, da baner skal smides væk efter aftagning. Desuden er det ønskeligt at forsyne bleen med klæbebåndsenheder, som letter en enkel lægning af bleen, da barnet kan bevæge sig hele tiden, medens bleen lægges. Strimlernes fastgørelsesender skal kunne bringes i rette stilling for fastgørelse af bleen med mindst mulig anstrengelse fra forældrenes side. Desuden er det ønskeligt, at læggene i bleen holdes på plads, indtil de er klar til at foldes ud under bleens lægning.It has been found that the use of separate release strips for the adhesive tape strips has caused inconvenience to the parents as the webs must be discarded after removal. In addition, it is desirable to provide the diaper with adhesive tape units which facilitate a simple laying of the diaper as the child can move at all times while the diaper is being laid. The strap attachment ends must be able to be positioned to secure the diaper with minimal effort on the part of the parents. In addition, it is desirable that the diapers in the diaper be kept in place until they are ready to be unfolded during diaper laying.

Fra beskrivelsen til U.S.A. patent nr. 3.642.001 kendes en éngangsble, der benytter en enkelt frigørelsesbane til ved brodannelse at forbinde de to ender af de klæbemiddelbelagte fastgørelsesområder. Ifølge dette skrift kræves ekstra klabemiddelpletter til at holde klæbebåndsstrimlernes fastgørelsesområder nede. Frigørelsesbanen er ikke fastholdt på noget panel og skal bortkastes separat.From the description to U.S.A. Patent No. 3,642,001 discloses a disposable diaper which uses a single release web to connect the two ends of the adhesive-coated attachment regions by bridging. According to this document, additional adhesive stains are required to hold down the adhesive strips' attachment areas. The release path is not retained on any panel and must be discarded separately.

Det er den foreliggende opfindelses formål at tilvejebringe en éngang sble af den indledningsvist angivne art, der let og hurtigt med få håndgreb kan lægges på barnet.It is the object of the present invention to provide a one-time saddle of the kind initially provided, which can be easily and quickly applied to the child with a few grips.

For at tilgodese dette formål er den indledningsvist omtalte éngangsble ifølge den foreliggende opfindelse ejendommelig ved det i den kendetegnende del af krav 1 anførte. Herved opnår man, at 2 146672 frigørelsesbaneorganerne, når klæbebåndsstrimlernes fastgørelsesområder er frilagte, ikke skal bortkastes særskilt, idet de forbliver fastgjorte til bleen. Desuden sikres, at bleen under pakningen og transport bevarer sin sammenlagte form.For the purpose of this purpose, the first-mentioned disposable diaper of the present invention is characterized by the features of the characterizing part of claim 1. Hereby, it is achieved that the release path means, when the adhesive strips' attachment areas are exposed, do not have to be disposed of separately, as they remain attached to the diaper. In addition, during the packing and transport, the diaper retains its combined shape.

Ved det i den kendetegnende del af krav 2 anførte får man en éngangsble, der på enkel måde er foldet til brug i forbindelse med det i den kendetegnende del af krav 1 anførte.In the characterizing part of claim 2, there is obtained a disposable diaper which is simply folded for use in connection with the characterizing part of claim 1.

Ved det i den kendetegnende del af krav 3 anførte får men en udførelsesform, hvorved klæbebåndsstrimlerne automatisk frigøres fra frigørelsesbanerne, når yderpanelerne trækkes væk fra de første paneler, medens man ved det i den kendetegnende del af krav 4 anførte får en forenklet produktion ved, at kun én kombineret klæbestrimmel og frigørelsesbane skal fastgøres på panelet.In the characterizing part of claim 3, however, an embodiment wherein the adhesive strip strips are automatically released from the release webs when the outer panels are pulled away from the first panels, while a simplified production is obtained in the characterizing part of claim 4 by only one combined adhesive strip and release lane must be attached to the panel.

Ved det i den kendetegnende del af krav 5 anførte sikres at såvel fastgørelsesområderne som yderpanelerne holdes på plads.In the characterizing part of claim 5, it is ensured that both the attachment areas and the outer panels are held in place.

Ved det i den kendetegnende del af krav 6 anførte opnår man en enkel fastholdelse af yderpanelet i det tilfælde, hvor éngangsbleen langs kanterne, foruden midterpanelet har tre andre paneler foldet hen over midterpanelet.In the characterizing part of claim 6, a simple retention of the outer panel is achieved in the case where the disposable diaper along the edges, besides the middle panel, has three other panels folded over the middle panel.

Det i den kendetegnende del af krav 7 anførte er en materialebe-sparende og dermed billiggørende foranstaltning, idet man sparer materialet til fremstilling af frigørelsesbanen.The characterizing part of claim 7 is a material saving and thus inexpensive measure, saving the material for making the release web.

Ved hjælp af den foreliggende opfindelse får man således mulighed for nemt at frigøre klæbebåndsstrimlernes fastgørelsesområder fra frigørelsesbaneorganerne til brug for fastgørelse af bleen om barnet, og endvidere at fastgørelsesområderne ved nogle af de nævnte udformninger for éngangsbleen automatisk kan fjernes fra frigørelsesbaneorganerne, når panelerne foldes ud for bleens lægning om et barn.Thus, by means of the present invention, the attachment regions of the adhesive strip strips are readily detached from the release web means for use in attaching the diaper to the child, and further that the attachment regions of some of the disposable diaper designs can be automatically removed from the release web means when the panels are unfolded. diaper laying on a child.

I fig. 1 og 2 ses en éngangsble 20 med en absorberende pudeenhed 22. Pudeenheden 22 har et fluidumuigennemtrængeligt baglag 24, som fastlægger bleens bagflade 26, et fluidumuigennemtrængeligt toplag 28, som afgrænser en væsentlig del af en frontflade 30 af pudeenheden, og en absorberende pude 32 anbragt mellem bag- og toplagene 24 og 28. Baglaget 24 har fortrinsvis en større bredde end bredden af den absorberende pude 32, således at baglaget 24*s siderande 34 er foldet om og fastgjort til pudeenhedens frontflade. Pudeenheden 22 har også et par langsgående sidekanter 36a og 36b og et par endekanter 38, som forbinder sidekanterne 36a og b. Som vist i fig. 3 er pudeenheden foldet til en wienerlægsudformning langs et antal langsgående foldelinjer|40a, 40b, 40c og 40d, som afgrænser et langsgående midterpanel 42 med et par første indre paneler 44a og 44b gående ud fra og liggende hen over midterpanelet 42's frontflade 30, og et par yderpaneler 46a og 46b gående ud fra og liggende over de indre paneler 44a og b. yderpanelerne 46a og b afgrænser således de langsgående sidekanter 36a og b af pudeenheden.In FIG. 1 and 2, a disposable diaper 20 is shown with an absorbent pad unit 22. The pad unit 22 has a fluid-impermeable backing layer 24 defining the diaper backing surface 26, a fluid-impermeable top layer 28 defining a substantial portion of a fronting surface 30 of the pad assembly, and an absorbent pad 32 disposed between the back and top layers 24 and 28. The backing 24 preferably has a greater width than the width of the absorbent pad 32, so that the lateral edges 34 of the backing 24 * are folded and secured to the front surface of the pad unit. The pad unit 22 also has a pair of longitudinal side edges 36a and 36b and a pair of end edges 38 connecting the side edges 36a and b. As shown in FIG. 3, the cushion unit is folded into a reclining configuration along a plurality of longitudinal fold lines | 40a, 40b, 40c and 40d defining a longitudinal center panel 42 with a pair of first inner panels 44a and 44b extending from and lying across the front face 30 of the center panel 42, and a pair of outer panels 46a and 46b projecting from and lying over the inner panels 44a and b. Thus, the outer panels 46a and b define the longitudinal side edges 36a and b of the cushion assembly.

Som vist i fig. 1 og 2 har bleen et par trykfølsomme klæbebåndsstrimler 48a og 48b med første områder 50a og 50b fastgjort til pudeenhedens bagflade 26 tæt op ad sidekanterne 36a og b. Klæbebåndsstrimlerne 48a og b har også fastgørelsesområder 52a og 52b, som går fra en ende af de første områder 50a og b tæt op ad sidekanterne 36a og b af pudeenheden 22. Fastgørelsesområderne 52a og b har klæbemiddelbærende overflader 54a og 54b for fastgørelse af bleen om et barn under bleens lægning.As shown in FIG. 1 and 2, the diaper has a pair of pressure-sensitive adhesive strips 48a and 48b with first regions 50a and 50b attached to the rear surface 26 of the cushion unit close to the side edges 36a and b. Adhesive strips 48a and b also have attachment regions 52a and 52b extending from one end of the first regions 50a and b close to the side edges 36a and b of the cushion unit 22. The fastening regions 52a and b have adhesive-bearing surfaces 54a and 54b for attaching the diaper to a child during the diaper laying.

Bleen 20 har også et par frigørelsesbaner 56a og 56b fastgjort til de indre paneler 44a og b's bagflade 26, således at frigørel-sesbaneme 56a og b ligger under yderpanelerne 46a og b og de første områder 50a og b af klæbebåndsstrimlerne 48a og b, når bleen foldes til sin wienerlægsudformning, således som det ses bedst 5 146672 i fig. 3 og 4. Klæbebåndsstrimlerne 48a og b's fastgørelsesområder 52a og b foldes tilbage tæt op ad pudeenheden 22's sidekanter 36a og b og fastgørelsesområdernes 52a og b klæbemiddelbæren-de overflader 54a og b er udløseligt fastgjort til frigørelsesbanerne 56a og b's bagflade. På denne måde holdes yderplanerne 46a og b i en sådan stilling/ at de ligger hen over de indre paneler 44a og b ved hjælp af klæbebåndsstrimlernes fastgørelsesområder 52a og b og ved hjælp af frigørelsesbanerne 56a og b.The diaper 20 also has a pair of release webs 56a and 56b attached to the back surface 26 of the inner panels 44a and b, such that the release webs 56a and b lie below the outer panels 46a and b and the first regions 50a and b of the tape strips 48a and b when the diaper reaches folded to its pastry design, as best seen in FIG. 3 and 4. Adhesive strips 48a and b's attachment regions 52a and b are folded back close to the side edges 36a and b of cushion assembly 22 and adhesive-bearing surfaces 54a and b of adhesive areas 52 are releasably attached to release surface 56a and b. In this way, the outer planes 46a and b are held in such a position that they lie over the inner panels 44a and b by means of the adhesive strips 52a and b of the adhesive strips and by the release paths 56a and b.

Når bleen udfoldes fra sin wienerlægsudformning under lægningen på et barn som vist i fig. 5 trækkes yderplanerne 46a og b væk fra de indre paneler 44a og b, hvorved man fjerner klæbebåndsstrimlerne 48a og b's fastgørelsesområder 52a og b fra frigørelsesbanerne 52a og b. Klæbebåndsstrimlerne frigives følgelig automatisk fra frigørelsesbanerne under bleens lægning. Som vist i fig. 6 foldes klæbebåndsstrimlerne 48a og b's fastgørelsesområder 52a og b udad til rette stilling for fastgørelse af bleen om barnet. Klæbebåndsstrimlernes fastgørelsesområder bringes således nemt i den korrekte stilling for fastgørelse af bleen under lægningen. Errigørelsesbanerne 56a og b forbliver fastgjort til pudeenheden 22's bagflade 26, hvorved man eliminerer behovet for at smide frigørelsesbanerne væk efter bleens lægning.When the diaper is unfolded from its pastry design during laying on a child as shown in FIG. 5, the outer planes 46a and b are pulled away from the inner panels 44a and b, removing adhesive strips 48a and b's attachment regions 52a and b from the release webs 52a and b. The tape strips are accordingly automatically released from the release webs during the diaper laying. As shown in FIG. 6, the tape strips 48a and b of the adhesive strips 52a and b are folded outwardly to the proper position for attaching the diaper to the child. The attachment areas of the tape strips are thus easily brought into the correct position for fastening the diaper during laying. The release webs 56a and b remain attached to the rear surface 26 of the pad unit 22, eliminating the need to throw the release webs away after the diaper is laid.
