ES2211339A1 - Absorbent pad is for underarm perspiration and is composed of series of layers, each with a specific function - Google Patents

Abstract

The absorbent pad (1) is for underarm perspiration and is composed of a series of layers (2,4,5,6,7), each with a specific function. A filtering layer (4) is in contact with the skin, which due to its properties allows the perspiration to penetrate it, easily reaching the absorbent nucleus. It does not permit the perspiration to return to the surface, providing a sensation of dryness. - An absorbent layer (5) is composed of cellulose paste and talcum powder, and is responsible for the absorption of the perspiration. A surrounding layer (6) of cellulose tissue encloses the absorbent nucleus, facilitating the diffusion of the perspiration in the nucleus and increasing the resistance and compaction of the absorbent. An impermeable layer (7) of polyethylene ensures the total seal of the absorbent, with anti-sound treatments, guaranteeing discretion.

Description

Absorbent patch of axillary sweating.

Object of the invention

This invention as its title indicates, refers to a new type of disposable absorbent patch that adheres to the underarm skin in order to absorb sweating excessive

Background of the invention

Excessive underarm sweat is an embarrassing problem that affects many people, causing discomfort that can get to alter your personal and work relationships. The profuse axillary sweating or hyperhidrosis, is due to a secretion greater than normal sweat glands.

Diaphoresis is the medical term used to refer to profuse sweating that can be normal (physiological) result of physical activity, a response emotional, a high ambient temperature or a symptom of underlying disease (pathological).

In order to control normal sweating, there are different products on the market, which are applied in spray, cream or spinning ball commercially known as "roll on" etc. However there are people who suffer from excessive sweating and that the antisudoral action of these products it is not enough, because of which they get stained clothes, normally in the axillary area.

This excessive sweating usually occurs in circumstances in which a person is in tension nervous, for example in the case of a job interview, at speak in public, or in any situation of anxiety or stress, etc.

A person with the blouse or shirt wet on the armpit area, not only does it feel uncomfortable, but it gives a aspect of lack of hygiene. Since in most cases this excessive perspiration occurs when performed activities away from home, you don't usually have the opportunity or  the means to clean and change clothes as often as Every situation requires.

There are currently certain absorbents of axillary sweating called sobaqueras, which are used adhered in the crease of the clothes under the armpits, which while they are disposable, they have the disadvantage that to change them is It is necessary to remove the used one and re-sew the new one.

In order to solve the problems described, the inventor of this product has developed a patch fully recyclable and disposable absorbent described to continuation.

Description of the invention

This absorbent patch of axillary sweating is composed of a series of layers, each with a function specific. These layers are as follows:

1 - Cellulose filter layer in contact with the skin, due to its properties it allows sweat to through easily reaching the absorbent core, but not allows sweat to return to the surface, providing dry feeling

2 - Absorbent layer consisting of paste compacted cellulose and talcum powder, responsible for absorption of sweat

3 - Cellulose tissue wrapping layer that wraps the absorbent core and facilitates the diffusion of sweat in said core increasing the resistance and compaction of the absorbent.

4 - Waterproof polyethylene layer that ensures total tightness of the absorbent with anti-noise treatments That guarantees your discretion.

The talcum powder of the absorbent core has incorporated a soft fragrance that gives a feeling of freshness and hygiene.

This absorbent patch has the properties following:

- Absorption capacity, satisfying the each person's need for freedom and security to develop Your activities normally.

- Holding capacity, which provides the necessary comfort and the feeling of always being neat.

- Adaptability, thus ensuring comfort of the user and the ease of use.

- It is totally antiallergic, and therefore anyone can use regardless of the type of skin that has.

There are two versions of this patch, the first It is characterized because the layer that is in contact with the body is also adherent. It is particularly designed for people with shaved armpits

The second version has adhesive tapes for attachment to the body, and can be used with the armpits without depilate

The patch is manufactured in different colors, white, brown, green, etc., so that its appearance is imperceptible.

Description of the drawings

Figure 1A is a plan view of the patch absorbent (1), in which the first filter layer (4) stands out and self-adhesive that is in contact with the body.

Figure 1B, is a profile view of the patch absorbent (1), in which the fold (2) is observed.

Figure 2A is a plan view of the patch absorbent (1), with adhesive tapes (3) arranged thereto level than the filter layer (4), that is the one in contact with the body

Figure 2B, is a profile view of the patch absorbent (1), in which the adhesive tapes are also observed (3) and the fold (2).

Figure 3 is a profile view of the patch absorbent (1), when folded by its fold (2), which is the position it adopts when placed under the armpit.

Figure 4 is a perspective view of all the layers that make up the absorbent patch (1) drawn separated. At the top of this figure, the layer is observed filter (4), then the absorbent layer (5) that constitutes the core of the patch, then the wrapping layer (6) of tissue cellulose, and finally the impermeable layer (7) of polyethylene. In the second, third and fourth layers the fold is also observed (two).

Preferred Embodiment of the Invention

Among the different possibilities of building this axillary sweat absorbing patch, the realization Preferred is described below:

Once the anatomical study of the area axillary of the majority of adults, the exact measurements and the shape of the absorbent patch (1).

Through various trials conducted with people that sweat profusely, you measure the maximum amount of sweat that can produce each of these people during a given time when they are under stress. With all this information is determined later the characteristics and absorbent capacity of the patch.

The absorbent patch (1), which could be consider as universal and that has the best qualities, is the It has four layers. The first filter layer (4) of cellulose, It is the one in contact with the skin. This layer allows the sweat through it until it reaches the absorbent layer (5) formed by compacted cellulose and talcum powder. The envelope layer (6) is characterized in that it wraps the absorbent core and facilitates the sweat dispersion in the core of the patch.

Finally the base of the patch is formed by a waterproof layer (7) of polyethylene which due to its tightness, prevents sweat from staining clothes.

The thickness of the central zone of the four layers, in the direction of its smallest diameter, is less than the thickness of the rest of the layers in order to form the fold (2) that facilitates and makes the use of the absorbent patch more comfortable (1), when articulating the arm.

In the first version of the patch, the layer filter (4) is self-adhesive and in the second version, the patch It has built-in adhesive tapes (3) for fixing to the skin.

This type of absorbent patch (1) guarantees that a person suffering from hyperhidrosis, can feel safe for a certain time.

All the materials that make up this patch absorbent (1) disposable, are recyclable.
