Description

Title: Incontinence articles in panty shape

description

The invention relates to an incontinence article for receiving body excretions with a longitudinal direction and with a transverse direction, with a front

Abdominal section and a rear back section, which are spaced apart from one another in a longitudinal direction and which form a continuous abdominal and back band in the transverse or hip circumferential direction with an in

Hip circumference direction closed hip opening

Side seam areas on both sides by the manufacturer

connected to each other, and with one one

Absorbent body having crotch section, which extends in the longitudinal direction between the stomach section and Extends back portion, wherein the crotch portion, the stomach portion and the back portion together delimit respective leg openings of the incontinence article, wherein the stomach portion and the back portion in transverse or

Hip circumferential direction are elastically stretchable, and wherein the back section and / or the belly section comprises a nonwoven material, wherein a first marking means is provided on the belly section or the back section in a first area, and the first

Identifying means has a first identifier which is formed by a two-dimensionally extended colored zone and provides first information, the colored zone being visually distinguishable from a second area surrounding it (and thus the first identifier).

It is known in the prior art

To apply identification means on incontinence articles.

For example, EP 2 841 038 A1 describes an incontinence article that has a

Has elongation indicator. This is used to identify the fit, a reference graphic preferably being provided.

In particular, however, it is desirable to apply a marking to such pant diaper products which identifies the front or back. Such a one

Marking can also be found in regular underwear in the form of labels mostly sewn into the back. EP 1 815 831 A1 also relates to a pant diaper, with a label visible from the outside on the

Front and / or back of the incontinence product, a vertically running center line of the marking not coinciding with the longitudinal center axis of the incontinence product, so that the marking is arranged laterally offset. This is intended to ensure that the labeling is less prominent.

In addition, it is provided for incontinence products that batch-specific labels are attached, e.g. in the area of the leg openings or in the crotch area.

Based on this prior art, it was an object of the invention to make the

to improve batch-individualized labeling and the appearance of the incontinence article to a normal one

Customize underwear product.

The invention solves this problem by a

Incontinence article with the features of claim 1. The invention takes the path that a second

batch-individualizing identification means in a predetermined spatial arrangement to the first

Identification means in which the belly or back section having the first identification means is arranged.

According to a preferred embodiment, the second identification means can be numbers and / or letters and / or Special characters and / or symbols and / or graphic elements in sequence or a combination thereof comprise or are formed therefrom. Machine-readable codes such as bar codes or matrix codes can be used as symbols.

Batch-individualizing is to be understood here when the identification means indicates

at least one, preferably two or more of the

contains the following information, namely

Time of manufacture, in particular date and / or time or period, manufacturing company, manufacturing machine, place of manufacture. The second identification means therefore preferably changes in certain periods of time or e.g. when changing manufacturing parameters.

The second batch-individualizing identification means is preferably not consecutive for all

manufactured incontinence articles the same, but it varies from product to product or it varies in

predefined way from a group comprising a plurality of articles to a subsequent group of a further plurality of articles in order to use the

Production-specific information can then subsequently be determined which batch or which

Time of manufacture or to which manufacturing machine a defective product, for example, is to be assigned.

A longitudinal center axis of the incontinence article is defined in that it is folded centrally along the longitudinal center axis about an axis running in the longitudinal direction. In the same way, a transverse central axis is determined in that the incontinence article is halved in its longitudinal direction.

The first and / or the second marking means is preferably on a chassis-forming layer of the

Back section or the belly section directly

upset. As a chassis-forming layer

in particular understood a position that extends essentially up to a hip opening edge and / or a

Side seam area of the incontinence article extends. The first and / or second identification means is therefore not on a label-like material section that is additionally applied to the back and / or belly section

upset. In this way, information can be provided by the first and / or second marking means in a comparatively simple and inexpensive manner, which does not require an additional work step such as, for example, sewing and / or gluing in a label. In addition, the problem caused by the edges introduced with smaller material sections, namely the detachment of the material section caused by friction, as well as irritation of the user's skin due to possible protruding edge edges, is avoided.

As chassis-forming layers, in particular

Nonwoven materials and / or foil and / or nonwoven / foil laminates can be provided.

It can be provided in particular that the first identification means and / or the second Identification means are attached to the nonwoven material of the belly section or back section.

Preferably the first and / or the second are

Identification means attached to a nonwoven layer of the nonwoven material facing the body. The first and second identification means are preferably attached to the same element of the stomach or back section. The first and the second identification means are preferably applied or attached to a nonwoven layer of the nonwoven material facing the body. The first and second

Identification means can be on a

body-facing upper side and / or one

be applied facing away from the body of the nonwoven layer facing the body, wherein a body facing away top is particularly preferred for the first marking means.

The second identification means can be on the

be applied facing the body or on the upper side facing away from the body. In particular in the case of a nonwoven material of the belly section or back section that has two outer layers of nonwoven fabric, that is, each forming an outer side of the nonwoven material, the first identification means is particularly preferred between the outer nonwoven layers and in particular on the upper side facing away from the body

Fleece layer applied. Under the arrangement facing the body or facing away from the body, the directions in the intended state applied to a carrier are shown

Understood . In particular, when the first marking means is arranged facing away from the body, this ensures on the one hand that there is no abrasion of the colored zone, and on the other hand it is skin-friendly by avoiding direct

Skin contact is maintained and, if there is sufficient visibility due to the fleece layers, the first marking means remains optically in the background.

The first identification means can particularly preferably comprise a second identification, the second

Provides information that is formed in that recesses of the colored zone are provided in the first identifier.

In particular, by including it within a

colored zone becomes the second information of the second

The license plate is easier to read than if, for example, conventional printing without the surrounding area of the first

Mark would be provided. By moving from the second area of the belly section or back section,

in particular visually from the second area of a nonwoven material of the belly section or back section

The contrasting first area of the first identifier creates a contrast that makes it possible to improve an especially comparatively small-sized embodiment of the second identifier with regard to perceptibility.

In particular, the recesses can be island-shaped.

Under "island-shaped" recesses in particular such recesses are understood that are surrounded by a sufficiently wide frame of the colored zone, since this makes the second information recognizable

improved. Also under "island-shaped"

Recesses are also to be understood as one that is formed into a recess by drawing together a number of stand-alone alphanumeric or otherwise for the human understanding as separately perceptible characters. The second identifier of the first identifier comprises numbers and / or letters and / or special characters and / or symbols and / or graphic elements in sequence or a combination thereof or is formed from them. In particular, it is provided that the visually perceptible nature of the belly section or back section, in particular the fleece material of the belly section or back section within the recesses, is identical to that visually perceptible nature of the belly section or back section, in particular its fleece material, of the first area and in particular of the second area.

“Visually distinguishable” is understood to mean that the differentiation can already be recognized with the naked human eye; the differentiability can optionally be further supported with optical aids.

"Visually perceptible" is synonymous with recognizable with the naked human eye. The term "color" used refers to the

visual perception property of light output derived from the light spectrum and recognizable as such by the human eye. Colors are typically known as i.a. Black, red, blue, green, and yellow

Mixtures thereof.

The colored zone thus stands out from the basic coloring, that is to say the predominant color of the belly and back section forming materials, in particular the nonwoven material, in the first area of the belly and or

Back section.

The areally extended colored zone can on

different ways in the first area of the back or stomach section forming materials, in particular the nonwoven material of the back or stomach section

be brought in. It is thus conceivable that the colored zone is formed by a coating or an imprint and / or in another way.

"Coating" or "printing" or "printing" is used here to mean anything on the surface of a material, in particular the nonwoven material of the belly or

Understood addition applied to the back section, which leads to a visual, possibly connected to a

haptic and / or technical change in the material in the stomach or back section, in particular of the fleece material leads. The coating / imprint can be designed as a haptically perceptible raised with a certain coating thickness as an application on one side, or additionally or exclusively as a material, in particular the nonwoven material

penetrating order be provided.

The methods known in the art for obtaining a colored zone include, for example, one

Direct coating using high pressure, gravure printing,

Flat printing, rotary printing or contactless

Coating like spraying. Colored zones can also be created using coloring processes such as pigment printing, spray printing or stencil printing.

Materials and / or components that conform to such

assigned colored zone can be, for example, an adhesive / hotmelt application, a printing ink as a paste or an ink.

It is particularly preferred that the colored zone of the first identification means is an imprint, in particular a colored imprint. Monochrome printing is particularly preferred.

The second batch-individualizing identification means can likewise be designed in the form of a coating, a printing and / or in another way. The second is also preferred

Identification means applied in the form of a print. The second identification means is particularly preferably applied by means of a printing ink as a paste or in particular as an ink. In the state of the

Technique known methods, such as a

Printing can be used by means of an inkjet printer. The second batch-individualizing

Identifying agent-forming components, such as

preferably numbers and / or letters and / or

Special characters and / or symbols and / or graphic elements in sequence or combinations thereof are preferably applied directly to the material forming the back section or belly section, in particular the non-woven material of the back or belly section.

The second batch-individualizing identification means differs in particular from the first

Identification means by adding the second

Identification means, and those conveyed with them

Information, free from one, is the second

Marking means surrounding colored frame-like

Area that differs from the color of the second

Identification means and is visually different from the basic coloring of the second area of the stomach or back section. Due to the contrast between the two-dimensional design of the first identification means and the second

Identification means, which in particular is printed in color but not over the entire area of the material of the incontinence article, results in an effect which clarifies the difference between the two identification means and which helps to clarify the various contents and functions. This effect is all the more pronounced if a second identifier in the form of cutouts is provided in the planar design of the first identifier of the first identifier: there are in particular numbers and / or letters and / or special characters and / or symbols and / or for the second identifier Graphic elements in succession or combinations thereof are provided in a so-called inverse design and for the second identification means, in particular, numbers and / or letters and / or special characters and / or symbols and / or graphic elements or combinations thereof are provided in a non-inverse design. The first identification means preferably also serves as a locating aid for the second identification means. The arrangement of several or all of the marking means in the back or stomach area, preferably in the back area, further enhances the underwear-like appearance.

It can be provided that the stomach section and / or the back section have elasticizing means which extend at a distance from one another and essentially in the transverse or circumferential direction of the hip and thus elasticize the belly section and / or the back section over a large area, or that the belly section and / or the back section in transverse or

Hip circumferential direction comprise elastically stretchable sheet materials, the elasticizing means and / or the elastically stretchable sheet materials in particular

are arranged between fleece layers of the fleece material.

Such an elasticization is advantageous for incontinence articles in panty form because, unlike

Resealable diapers, incontinence articles in

Panty shape can be adapted to a wearer via the elasticization. The transverse elasticization is fundamentally possible in that essentially thread-like elasticization means are used or that

strip-shaped elasticizing means or, alternatively, also elastically stretchable at least in the transverse direction

Sheet materials are used. In any case, it proves to be advantageous if elastically stretchable

Materials with essentially inextensible materials, such as in particular nonwoven materials, are combined.

The first and / or second is particularly preferred

Identification means arranged within an elastically stretchable area of the back and / or stomach section. When arranging the first and / or second

Marking means in elastically stretchable areas can with the different stretch states

possibly associated configuration changes of the marking means in turn conveyed information will. In particular, for the user

different color stimuli can be perceived, so

for example, the first identifier can be in a

relaxed, unstretched state a more intense

Convey color impression as in the flat, stretched state.

The incontinence article in panty form is in particular an adult incontinence article. In particular, the

Incontinence articles can be provided as unisex incontinence articles, but also in addition or as a delimitation as women incontinence articles or as men incontinence articles. The

Embodiments of the first identifier and / or, if provided, the second identifier of the first

Identification means as well as their arrangement contribute to this differentiation.

You can think about the design of the first

Identification means in addition to the first and / or the second information item, further information is transported in that the colored zone next to the information item, for example where the back of the incontinence article is located, provided the first item of information is a

Position marking serves as further information

can include, for example, through the targeted selection of a color of the colored zone, an indication of use in a gender-specific manner can be included. For example, a first

Identification means in a blue color on a preferred area of use for men and a first

Identification means in a pink color on one indicate preferred use for women. Alternatively or additionally, the information of the first identifier can be contained in the identifier as a third one

Information on a suction strength.

Furthermore, the shape of the first identification means or the shape of the first identification, such as

for example ellipse versus rectangle, another

Information to be conveyed.

In addition, it is provided in particular that the first marking means is arranged in such a way that it supplies information about the orientation of the incontinence article. For example, provision is made to provide first identification means in the rear area of the incontinence article, which identify and mark the rear side of an incontinence article. The first identification means is preferably arranged on the back section.

If provided, further information can then be transported through the cutouts using a second identifier. The second grips through the recesses

Characteristics, the visually perceptible quality, such as the color of the material of the belly or

Back portion, in particular of the nonwoven material, of the first area. This creates an undesirable visual appearance or conspicuity

Attention is reduced, as the identical visually perceptible quality of the material, in particular the fleece material in the recesses in When viewed together with the material, in particular the nonwoven material of the second area surrounding the first marking means, a certain homogeneous appearance results. In principle, it is provided that the first identification means should be sufficiently visually conspicuous so that the information can be transmitted. This information transfer should, however, preferably only take place to one user and / or wearer of the incontinence article, whereas the identification means should remain as inconspicuous as possible for third parties.

It is particularly preferably provided that the colored zone starting from an edge circumferential line of the first

Identification means that encloses the second identification in such a way that the size of an area A3, which is delimited by the peripheral line of the first identification means and an imaginary inner distance line running within and at a constant first distance ABI, is at least 20%, in particular at least 25% further in particular is at least 30% of a size of the area Al, the area Al being defined by the

Edge of the first marking means

inscribed area is defined. More preferably, the area proportion of the second identifier in area A3 is at most 10%, in particular at most 7%, further in particular at most 5%, in particular at most 2%. The determination should be made in the fully stretched state of the incontinence article. The sizes of the areas are each measured in mm ² . This enables good visual perceptibility of the first as well as the second identifier.

At this point it should be stated that in the present application, any dimensioning information regarding

Transverse, longitudinal, or distance from

Sections or of any components of the article in the flat-out state of the flat materials forming the article are determined, ie

possibly after cutting the side seams made by the manufacturer, so that the article in question can be brought into the flat configuration shown in the figures, unless there is any other indication of a condition deviating from this. If the article has been elasticized, for example, by thread-like elasticizing means in the so-called "stretchbond process", the sheet materials, as in the figures

indicated, viewed as extended as they

are supplied by the manufacturer as flat materials or can be subsequently spread out to their natural initial extent without elasticizing agents and placed on a flat surface. The transverse extensions, longitudinal extensions, dimensions or distances are then determined in this flat surface. This condition occurs naturally with inextensible chassis materials based on fleece or fleece-film composite. If another state is considered, this is indicated.

Such a design of an area A3, which lies within the area A1, makes the visual impression an at least thicker / wider border area that extends in the manner of an edge around the second identifier, whereby the visual visibility and recognizability is improved, in particular also with otherwise difficult to read alphanumeric characters as the second identifier.

In particular, it can be provided that between the

Edge circumference line of the first marking means, that is, an edge circumference line of the visually perceptible colored one

Zone of the first identifier, and an imaginary inner one running at a constant first distance ABI

Distance line which has a distance of at least 2 mm, further in particular 3 mm, further in particular at least 4 mm and further in particular at least 5 mm, at least in sections, in particular completely no recesses are provided.

Furthermore, it can in particular be provided that the first marking means overlaps an area A1 inscribed by an edge circumferential line, and the second

Label occupies an area proportion of at most 50%, in particular at most 40%, further in particular at most 30%, further in particular at most 20% and in particular at least 8%, in particular at least 10% of the area Al covered by the first marking means.

This leaves the first one with visual visibility

Mark exist. This also serves to highlight the colored zone of the first

To make the label sufficiently recognizable. The

Calculation of the areas and their proportions are based on the just spread out condition.

The first marking means preferably has an area A1 of 200-8000 mm ² , in particular 400-6000 mm ² , further in particular 500-4000 mm ² , further in particular 800-3700 mm ² , further in particular 1100-3500 mm ² , with the area Al is measured in a flat, expanded state of the incontinence article.

With regard to the first identifier, the first identification means relates in particular to contiguous areas and, as the peripheral line, has, in particular, closed lines which thus form areas, such as

for example circles, ellipses, ovals, or even polygonal areas, i.e. polygons. That is, it is preferably a geometric figure that is enclosed by a closed line of roads.

The first means of identification and thus the first

It can be used in training

Edge perimeter line have a simple geometric shape, in particular in the form of an ellipse, an oval or a circle or a rectangle or a polygon

be trained.

Particularly preferably, the incontinence articles with distinguishable, different shapes with regard to the be provided with the first identification means or the first identifier. A

Differentiation of the incontinence article as unisex,

Men's and / or women's incontinence articles are obtained. A rectangle can be used for a men's product and an ellipse or an oval for a women's product.

A largely balanced distribution of the second identifier within the first identifier is particularly advantageous for recognizability on the one hand, but also for discretion on the other hand. The determination of the

The degree of distribution is explained by way of example with reference to FIG.

It can preferably be provided that if the first marking means with an edge circumference line in each of its outermost points of an imaginary

Rectangle is inscribed tangentially, the rectangle being arranged with respect to its edges in the longitudinal and transverse direction of the incontinence article and being divided into 10 equal sub-rectangles each in the longitudinal direction and in the transverse direction, from a number NI of sub-rectangles, which are complete or at least

are localized in regions within the edge perimeter line and of which a number N2 of those sub-rectangles which at least in regions have both the first identifier and the second identifier

Degree of distribution of N2 / Nl * 100% of at least 30%, at least 35%, in particular at least 40%, further

in particular at least 45% is provided.

Furthermore, it is particularly preferred that the first marking means, when the incontinence article is spread out flat, has a first transverse extent of 10% to 25%, in particular 12% to 23% of the maximum

Has product transverse extent. This ensures that the first identification means does not appear too prominent.

The first identification means can be a second

Have transverse extension measured in a relaxed, non-planar spread state of the incontinence article, the second transverse extension being 4% to 12%, in particular from 5% to 10%, based on the maximum product transverse extension in the plane spread state.

It is envisaged that the first marking means can be applied to the materials, in particular nonwoven materials, in an "stretched out" representation. In the relaxed state of the incontinence article, such as at the time of the first handling of a package, the dimension of the first marking means is

reduced and adjusted in such a way that recognizability and yet a certain discretion are balanced.

The second identification means is in a predetermined spatial arrangement relative to the first identification means the stomach or back section having the first identification means is provided:

The second marking means can preferably have a shortest distance from the first marking means of 3-50 mm, in particular 5-40 mm, in particular 5-30 mm and in particular 5-20 mm, when the incontinence article is spread out flat.

The distance is determined by each of the other

Points closest to the marking means

Identification means determined.

The distance is preferably in the longitudinal direction of the

Incontinence article.

It is also preferred if the first

Identification means and the second identification means in the longitudinal direction of the incontinence article at a distance one above the other, preferably, the second identification means is arranged further away from the hip opening in the longitudinal direction than the first identification means.

The second identification means is preferably arranged symmetrically to a longitudinal center line of the first identification means.

It is also preferred if the two

Identification means with respect to their longitudinal center lines and preferably with respect to the longitudinal center axis of the

Incontinence articles are symmetrical. The longitudinal center line of the first or second

Identification means halves the first or second

Identification means in its maximum extent in the transverse direction of the incontinence article.

Furthermore, it is particularly advantageous if the first identification means has a larger transverse extent than the second identification means. This has an advantageous effect on the optical arrangement.

In the transverse direction of the incontinence article, the first marking means has a maximum extension of

preferably 80-170 mm, more preferably 100-150 mm, more preferably 110-140 mm and particularly preferably 115-125 mm.

The second identification means preferably has a maximum extent in the transverse direction of the

Incontinence article of 30-100 mm, preferably 40-80 mm and more preferably 50-75 mm.

A ratio of the maximum extent of the first

Marking means in the transverse direction of the

Incontinence article for the maximum extension of the second marking means in the transverse direction of the

Incontinence article can in particular be 1.1-3.5, further in particular 1, 2-3.0, further in particular 1.4-2.7, further in particular 1.5-2.5.

In the longitudinal direction of the incontinence article, the first marking means has a maximum extension of preferably 15-50 mm, more preferably 15-40 mm and particularly preferably 20-35 mm.

The second identification means has a maximum extension of in the longitudinal direction of the incontinence article

preferably 2-12 mm, more preferably 2-8 mm and particularly preferably 2-6 mm.

A ratio of the maximum extent of the first

Identification means in the longitudinal direction of the

Incontinence article for the maximum extension of the second marking means in the longitudinal direction of the

Incontinence article can in particular be 2-20, in particular 4-16, further in particular 5-12, further in particular 6-9.

Furthermore, it is preferred that the first

Identification means has an area A1 inscribed by the edge circumferential line of the first identification means, which area is larger than one for the second

Marking means specific area A5. The area A5 is determined in the manner described below. Such a difference in area creates an interaction of a discrete mediation of

Information by means of the second identification means and an easier location of the second identification means by means of the first identification means is advantageously influenced.

The area A5 is determined as follows: The second marking means is inscribed in its outermost points in a tangential manner by a smallest possible imaginary rectangle. The smallest possible imaginary rectangle is the one with the smallest possible area. The area of this smallest possible the second

The imaginary rectangle surrounding the marking means corresponds to the area A5 of the second marking means.

The first marking means preferably has an area A1 of 200-8000 mm ² , in particular 400-6000 mm ² , further in particular 500-4000 mm ² , further in particular 800-3700 mm ² , further in particular 1100-3500 mm ² , with the area Al is measured in a flat, spread-out state of the incontinence article, that is to say, if necessary, after the side seams attached by the manufacturer have been separated.

The second marking means preferably has an area A5 of 50-1000 mm ² , in particular 70-800 mm ² , further in particular 90-600 mm ² , further in particular 100-500 mm ² , further in particular 120-300 mm ² , whereby the area A5 in a flat, spread-out state of the incontinence article, that is, if necessary after

Separation of the side seams made by the manufacturer is measured.

A ratio of the areas A1 and A5, calculated with A1: A5, is preferably 5-30, in particular 7-27, further in particular 9-24, further in particular 10-23. In the case of a division of the incontinence article into four equally large subsections extending in the longitudinal direction, the first identification means and the second identification means are preferably located within the longitudinal center axis of the incontinence article on both sides

nearest subsections, especially in the same subsection. Particularly preferred is a provision of the first and / or second arranged essentially symmetrically about the longitudinal center axis of the incontinence article

Identification means. Essentially, it should

symmetrical still a deviation from the absolute

Symmetry of a maximum of 10%, in particular a maximum of 8% and further in particular a maximum of 6%, determined

with respect to a displacement of a longitudinal center line of the first marking means relative to the longitudinal center axis of the incontinence article. For this purpose, the maximum distance a between the longitudinal center line of the first

Identification means and the product side seam, the maximum distance b between the longitudinal center axis of the

Incontinence article and the product side seam and calculated therefrom as b-a / b <10%, in particular <8%, in particular d 6%.

Furthermore, the crotch portion can be a

Liquid-impermeable backsheet material and a liquid-permeable topsheet material, between which the absorption body is arranged.

In particular, the incontinence article can be a so-called "H-shape" article in which The crotch section, the belly section and the back section are separate components, and the crotch section is connected to the belly section and the back section in one

respective overlap area is permanently attached.

Such H-shaped diapers represent a particularly favorable manufacturing variant for pant diapers.

If the incontinence article is an H-shaped article, it can in particular be provided that the first and / or second identification means is provided outside an area of overlap between the crotch section and the stomach or back section.

What is achieved hereby is that the marking means is not provided in an area that has a relatively high opacity due to the accumulation of material layers.

Also with others different from the H-shape

Refinements are the first and / or second

Identification means are preferably arranged at least outside of the crotch section, in particular in order to also counteract the effect of the opacity caused by the position and the complete visibility of the first and / or second

Not to impair the identification means when first picked up by a folding in the crotch area by the manufacturer as part of the packaging process of the incontinence article.

The first and / or second identification means can

within a range between one at the longitudinal end of the Absorbent body, especially at the longitudinal end of the

Crotch section, arranged and transverse imaginary line and one the

Hip opening edge descriptive line be arranged.

The color measurement for the first identifier and in particular the determination of the color distance between the first identifier and its first color and the second identifier and / or the non-woven material in an area directly adjacent to the first identifier and a second color that can be distinguished from it can be performed according to CIEL * a * b. In this regard, reference is made to DE 10 2018 112 121 and reference is made to the relevant disclosure.

According to a further preferred embodiment it can be provided that the incontinence article for sale or in the state presented during sale in a

folded configuration is brought. This can be configured such that the first and second

Marking means having abdominal or

Back section in the folded configuration of the

Incontinent article closer to an outside of the

folded configuration is arranged, as the respective other back or stomach section. For example, folding can take place in such a way that the two side seam areas are initially around a longitudinal fold line

are folded in, so the side areas of the hip band in the direction of the stomach section. Then there is a transverse folding, for example a first Identification means can be provided on the back section and the first identification means between the two fleece layers and here on the one facing away from the body

Top on the inner, i.e. body facing position, can be arranged.

It is particularly preferred if the first

Identification means and the second identification means are arranged on the back portion.

To make the first and / or second identification means easier to find, a further identification in the form of an orientation mark can be provided. Preferably the first is identification means and the second

Another marker at a distance

Orientation mark, preferably between an upper edge of the first marking means and one

Assigned to the hip opening edge of the incontinence article.

It is particularly preferred that the orientation mark is centered on a longitudinal center line of the first

Marking means is arranged and / or is arranged centered on the longitudinal center axis of the incontinence article.

It is also particularly preferred if the

Orientation mark has a color identical to the first mark and / or is designed with an identical means forming the color. Alternatively, however, different means and / or procedures

in particular different types of coating or - methods, as well as different colors of the coating or types of coating, eg on the one hand

Adhesive coating and, on the other hand, a color print.

In particular, it can be provided that the

Orientation mark is formed by a two-dimensionally extended colored zone and preferably overlaps an area A4 inscribed by a peripheral line.

Further details, features and advantages of the invention emerge from the attached patent claims and from the drawing and the following

Description of preferred embodiments of the

incontinence article according to the invention.

In the drawing show:

Figure 1 is a plan view of an inventive

Incontinence article, wherein a stomach section, a back section and a crotch section bridging and connecting the two of the

Incontinence articles are not yet connected to form a panty shape, but are shown in a flat and spread-out state;

Identification means, with the determination of an inner distance based on the peripheral line and

Figure 8 in the representations a, b and c a determination of the

Proportion of the first and second identification in the area of the first identification means.

The figures show an incontinence article in panty form, denoted overall by the reference numeral 2, for the absorption of solid and liquid body excretions. A particularly preferred embodiment of the

Incontinence article 2 is as in Figures 1 and 2

shown from three largely independent of each other manufacturable components, namely a front stomach section 4, a rear back section 6 and one arranged between these and one

Absorbent body 7 having crotch portion 8 formed, wherein the crotch portion 8 with a

Area portion of the belly section 4 on the one hand and of the back section 6 on the other hand overlaps and in the

Overlap area 36, 38 is permanently connected by the manufacturer. As can be seen from FIG. 1, this leads to an H-shaped basic structure of the incontinence article with a longitudinal direction 9. The one shown in FIG

The components joined together are then used to form the panty shape at respective lateral sides

Longitudinal edge sections 10, 12 of the belly section 4 and the back section 6 are also connected to one another by the manufacturer, as a result of which side seam areas 14

be formed. In this panty-shaped state of the incontinence article manufactured by the manufacturer, the belly section 4 and the back section 6 extend continuously in the transverse or hip circumferential direction 16 to the side seam areas 14 and thus define an in

Hip opening 18 closed in the direction of the hip circumference with a front 18 ′ and a rear 18 ″ hip opening edge and leg openings 19, through which the user puts on the incontinence article like panties.

In the exemplary embodiment, the belly section 4 can be divided into a hip-side area 20 and a crotch-side area 22 facing the leg openings. A corresponding subdivision is provided in the back section 6, also in a hip-side area 24 and a crotch-side area 26 facing the leg openings.

In the hip-side area 20 of the belly section 4 and in the hip-side area 24 of the back section 6, first elasticizing means 28 are provided, which can in particular be thread-like elasticizing means, such as Lycra® threads, which are pre-stretched

State, in the so-called stretch-bond process, with the flat materials (chassis materials) of the belly section 4 and the back section 6 are connected. These first elasticizing means 28 extend in the transverse or circumferential direction 16 of the hip from one side seam area 14 to the other.

The crotch-side and the leg openings 19 facing section 22 of the stomach section 4 and 26 of the

Back section 6 have one of the transverse or

Hip circumferential direction 16 deviating in the direction of a transverse central axis 30 of the incontinence article

Edge contour 32 or 34. This edge contour 32, 34 is

curved in sections and therefore suitable for delimiting the leg openings 19. Through this course of the

On the crotch-side area 22 and 26 facing the leg openings, there is also an overlap area 36, 38 between the crotch section 8 and the stomach section 4 or

Realized back section 6, in terms of a tear-resistant connection of crotch section 8 and

Belly section 4 or back section 6 is essential. The respective crotch-side area 22, 26 of the stomach section 4 and the back section 6 facing the leg openings 19 is also designed to be elasticized. There are second elasticizing means 40 and 42, respectively

intended. The second elasticizing means 40, 42 each extend starting from the

Side seam areas 14 towards a

Longitudinal central axis 44 of the incontinence article. As can be seen from a preferred embodiment in the figures, the second elasticizing means 40, 42 fan out in FIG

Direction of the longitudinal center axis 44. This means that the distance between them is towards the

Longitudinal central axis 44 increases.

As shown in Figure 2 further includes

Crotch section 8 a liquid-impermeable

Backsheet 62, which can be formed in particular from a breathable but liquid-tight film material, and a liquid-permeable topsheet 64, preferably based on a non-woven material

As can be seen from FIG. 2, the absorption body 7 is arranged on the back sheet 62 and the topsheet 64. in the

In the case illustrated by way of example, the backsheet 62 and the topsheet 64 form an overhang over the absorption body 7 in the longitudinal direction 9.

In addition, the incontinence article 2 has a first identification means 70. In the present case, the first identification means 70 is in the back section 6

arranged. Both the back section 6 and the Belly section 4 comprise a fleece material 15 and the back section and belly section are included

preferably composed of a nonwoven laminate and have two nonwoven layers 66 and 68, between which the first elasticizing means 28 are introduced. On the

The upper side of the fleece layer 68 facing away from the body, which is the fleece layer facing the body, is provided with a colored zone 73 which is the first

Marking means 70 forms. In this way it is achieved that the colored zone cannot be rubbed off and direct skin contact with the colored zone is avoided. The colored zone is made here in the form of a color print, as can be seen in FIG. 1 and FIG.

The nonwoven material 15 comprises at least a first area 11 and a second area 13, wherein in the first

Area 11

the first identification means 70 is provided. The first identification means has a first identification 72 which is formed by the areally extended colored zone 73 and in the present case transports the information as to where the back of the incontinence article 2 is. In addition, the choice of color generates information that it is an absorbent article for a female user.

In addition, an orientation mark 80 is provided, which is essentially the same as the first Marking means 70 is arranged mirror-symmetrically with respect to the longitudinal center axis 44 of the incontinence article and is in the manner of a line in the longitudinal direction 9 of the

Incontinence article 2 extends. About the

Orientation mark 80 is finding the first

Identification means 70 facilitated.

A preferred embodiment of the first marking means 70 is shown schematically in FIG. Are there

Recesses 76 are provided in the first marking means 70, which are at a certain distance from the

Edge circumferential line 78 of the first marking means are arranged. The recesses 76 form a second identifier 74, which conveys further information, namely also via the provision of alphanumeric characters, the information that it is a product suitable for women and the information about a manufacturer or its brand.

The recesses 76 form areas in the colored zone 73 in which, in particular, the visually perceptible nature of the nonwoven material is identical to that visually perceptible nature of the nonwoven material of the first area. In this way, a subtle yet easily legible second piece of information can be provided. In particular, by enclosing it in a colored zone 73, the second information item of the second identifier 74 is more perceptible than when a conventional one

Design of the second identifier in the form of conventional printing without the surrounding area of the first number plate would be provided. By visually differing from the second area of the fleece material

distinguishable contrasting first area of the first

Characteristic, a contrast is created that the

comparatively smaller, less recognizable information of the second identifier with regard to the perceptibility improved.

A second identification means 90 is from the

Hip opening edge 18 "from below the first

Identifying means 70 arranged and like this

with respect to its extension in the transverse direction 16 is arranged symmetrically to the longitudinal center axis 44 of the incontinence article. The second identification means 90 is shown schematically by the number sequence 123456789. The second identification means 90 is batch-identifying and consists, for example, of numbers and / or letters as a linear code to indicate manufacture-specific items

Data, such as the manufacturing period, location, machine, etc. In this case, one or more of these data are preferably specified in the second identification means 90 or encoded therein. The second identification means 90 can preferably be printed on and is arranged together with the first identification means 70 on the same stomach or back section 4, 6 and in a defined manner

Distance from the first marking means 70, preferably at a distance of 5-20 mm. This will make the

Findability of the second identification means 90, which is kept relatively inconspicuous, improved. The The extent in the transverse direction 16 can be less than that of the first marking means 70.

Preferably also that through the first

The area A1 inscribed in the identification means 70 is larger than that by the second identification means 90

Area A5 occupied, preferably in a ratio of area A1 to area A5 of 10-23.

FIG. 4 shows, in representations a and b, a design in which in FIG. A essentially a relaxed form of the elasticizing means 28 is shown, and in FIG. 4b one that is stretched in use. This likewise leads to an expansion of the first identification means 70, as a result of which the second identification 74 can be seen more clearly. In FIG. 4, the incontinence article 2 is shown schematically in FIG

shown in perspective. A second identification means 90, not shown in this figure

is also subject to stretching and relaxation behavior.

FIG. 5 shows, in various representations a, b, c and d, a folding process of an incontinence article 2, FIG. 5a showing the incontinence article 2 from the front and FIG. 5b showing the incontinence article 2 from the rear. The side seam areas 14 are now first folded on both sides onto the belly section 4 and then a fold is made around a transverse line, so that the crotch section 8 also comes to rest on the folded side seam section 14 and thus on the belly section 4, as shown in the final illustration is shown in Figure 5d. From the back, the first

Marking means 70 still through the fleece layers of the

The back section 6 can be seen through, so that an orientation and a transmission of the information of the first identification means 70 also in the

folded state is possible.

Figure 6 now shows a likewise by the invention

protected array comprising a first incontinence article 2 and a second incontinence article 2 ', which differs from the incontinence article 2 described so far, the

is also shown, in particular thereby

distinguishes that the absorption body 7 when

Incontinence articles 2 'more towards the

Abdominal section 4 is displaced and also in

Area of the transverse central axis 30 of the incontinence article is designed to be narrower in order to better take into account the different areas of the fluid accumulation. The first incontinence article 2 forms with the

Incontinence article 2 'a claimed arrangement

("Array"). Both incontinence articles 2 and 2 'have first and second identification means 70, 90 or 70' and 90 ', the colored zones of the first

Identification means 70 and 70 'of the two

Incontinence articles 2 and 2 'differentiate so that in addition to the position information, where the back section 6

is arranged, an additional information is transmitted, which includes a gender specificity. This can be done by choosing a different distinguishable color. In addition, it is also possible that the The nonwoven material of the incontinence articles 2 and 2 'in the second area around the first marking means has a different color from one another. In a preferred embodiment not shown here are further

Recesses that form the second indicator and

preferably arranged in the manner of an island in the marking means 70 or 70 ', designed so that they contain additional information that also relates to the

Indicates gender specificity, namely in the present case the indication that it is the first

Incontinence article around a women's incontinence article and the second incontinence article around a man

incontinence articles. A certain two-dimensional representation of the first is important for the attraction of the first identification means 70

Identifier 72 essential, in particular considered

starting from a peripheral line 78 of the first

Identification means. The

The attraction of the first identification means 70 and thus also of the first identification 72 is achieved through a largely solitary representation, that is to say in an external one

Distance from the peripheral line 78 largely free of colored zones, in particular free of further colored coatings. The more delicate design of the second identification means 90 does not disturb this attraction. This is explained below with reference to FIGS. 7a to 7c. FIGS. 7a-7c show the first marking means 70, with FIG. 7a referring to the for illustrative purposes

Representation of the imaginary ones described in more detail below

Spacer lines were omitted.

The area of the first marking means 70, therefore that of the peripheral line 78 of the first

The area inscribed in the marking means 70 is denoted by Al. A3 (FIGS. 7b and 7c) denotes the area which from the edge circumferential line 78 and a first

imaginary distance line 110 is limited, wherein the imaginary distance line 110 runs within the area A1 and at a constant first distance ABI of 2 mm inwardly spaced from the edge circumferential line 78. The size of the area A3, measured in mm ² , is 20% of the size of the area A1 in the case of FIG. 7b. In Figure 7c is the

imaginary distance line 110 at a larger first distance ABI of 3 mm from the edge circumferential line 78 of the first

Marking means 70 outlined. The size of the area A3 is 30% of the size of the area Al.

The area A3 should essentially pass through the first

Identification must be formed and filled out; the area proportion of the second identifier (that is to say of the recesses 76) in relation to the size of the area A3 is advantageously at most 10%, further in particular at most 7%, further in particular at most 5%.

FIG. 8 now shows individual steps in one

preferred embodiment of the first Identification means a determination of the proportion of the second identification and its distribution on the surface of the first identification means 70. For this purpose, the first identification means 70 (Figure 8a) is tangentially enclosed by a rectangle 100 (Fig 9 or 16 des

Incontinence article 2 runs. With the rectangle 100 the outermost points of the first

Marking means just inscribed in its transverse and longitudinal extension. The rectangle 100 is then divided into sub-rectangles of equal size, denoted here by 101, with ten sub-rectangles 101 each in both the longitudinal and transverse directions 9, 16

are provided. The number NI of sub-rectangles 101a is then determined, which are located completely or at least in regions within the peripheral line 78 of the first marking means 70. The number NI of the

Sub-rectangles 101a determine the number N2 of those sub-rectangles 101b (FIG. 8c) which at least regionally contain both the first identifier and the second

Have identification. In the present case there are NI = 88 sub-rectangles 101a, of which N2 = 37

Sub-rectangles 101b are provided with both the first identifier and the second identifier. This 37

Sub-rectangles 101b have a dark background in FIG. 8c for illustration. Thus there is a degree of distribution of

N2 / Nl * 100 of 42%.
