FR2488128A1 - HYGIENIC TOWEL WITH ADHESIVE FASTENING ON A CLOTHING APPAREL - Google Patents

Abstract

THE INVENTION CONCERNS A HYGIENIC TOWEL INCLUDING AN ELEMENT 2 ABSORBING FLUIDS AND A SCREEN 1 IMPERMEABLE TO FLUIDS WITH AN ADHESIVE 3 FOR FIXING ON A PIECE OF CLOTHING, THIS ADHESIVE BEING DEPOSITED ON THE SURFACE OF THE TOWEL FACING THIS PIECE OF VEHICLE . THE INVENTION SOLVES THE PROBLEM OF GUARANTEEING FASTENING TO THE CLOTHING PART, EVEN IN CASE OF VIOLENT MOVEMENTS. THE TOWEL IS CHARACTERIZED IN THAT THE ADHESIVE IS AVAILABLE FOLLOWING A PATTERN CONSTITUTED BY A SERIES OF SEPARATE ELEMENTS 3 COVERING 50 TO 90 OF THE SURFACE OF SCREEN 1 OF THE TOWEL THAT FACES THE CLOTHING PIECE. THE INVENTION IS APPLICABLE IN PARTICULAR TO HYGIENIC TOWELS TO BE WEAR BY PEOPLE HAVING A LARGE ACTIVITY.

Description

Hygienic towel with adhesive fixation on a piece of clothing.

  The subject of the invention is a sanitary napkin

  having a fluid absorbing member and an im-

  permeable to fluids with a fastening adhesive on a piece of clothing, this adhesive being deposited on the surface

  of the towel facing this piece of clothing.

  Sanitary napkins with tapes

  pressure-sensitive adhesives on the side of an imper-

  flowing media facing a piece of clothing have

  acquired a growing popularity over the past few

  born. However, the adhesive fixation method was not

  without presenting problems of putting into practice. Difficulties

  varied cultures were encountered in accordance with the

  particular geometrical aspect of placing the adhesive

  on the screen. The first attempts to set up a member

  sif used either single wide strips of adhesive or narrow double strips below the center of the screen. Other solutions involve the application of the adhesive on flexible end tabs, as described, for example, in US Pat. No. 3,454,008. However, these end tabs tend to to

  fold and adhere to other parts of the screen or to the

ring the towel.

  Another solution, described in US Pat. No. 4,059,114, provides for the covering with an adhesive layer of the entire surface of the screen making

  facing a piece of clothing. The total recovery of the over-

  underside of a towel with an adhesive provides the largest bonding surface, but when the adhesive exists along the outer edges, it tends to adhere to the user's legs and it can be difficult

  to remove it from the piece of clothing.

  A different solution, which has proved to be the most suitable at present, is described in the

  United States of America 3,674,595. In this solution, the

  sif is used not only to secure the envelope portion overlying the fluid impervious material used

  to cover the sanitary napkin, but is also

  laid along the sides of the towel slightly recessed inwardly. Thus, good adhesive fixation is achieved with minimal amounts of adhesive. Although the arrangement of US Patent 3,674,595 eliminates the aforementioned problems, it has been found that

  that in certain cases the movements of the person

  trice can separate the towel from the piece of clothing.

  This problem is particularly acute with certain movements

  violent or in case of vigorous exercise.

  The invention aims to solve this problem and

  for this purpose a sanitary napkin of the type

  above, characterized in that the adhesive is arranged according to

  a pattern consisting of a series of distinct elements

  from 50 to 90% of the surface of the napkin screen

  who is facing the piece of clothing.

According to embodiments

  a lug without absorbent material is formed at each end

  mity, no adhesive material being disposed in the areas of these tabs; - The pattern is recessed at least 6 mm along the longitudinal edges of the screen; the pattern of the adhesive is recessed uniformly by at least 6 mm around the periphery of the screen, the absorbent material having substantially the same contour as the screen on the screen;

all its edges.

  The pattern of adhesive elements provides additional fixation during periods of violent movement without there being a risk of adhesion to the skin of the user depending on the longitudinal edges of the towel or the flexible end tabs. The random distribution pattern appears to give shear strength and other forces substantially equal to that provided by a

  adhesive application on the entire surface.

  For the purpose of the present invention, the end tabs are defined as the ends of the screen or screen and the fluid impermeable casing,

  if there is one, extending beyond the absorbent matrix.

  The invention will be better understood with regard to the

  description below and attached drawings showing

  embodiments of the invention, drawings in the

  which - Fig. 1 is a bottom plan view of a

  first embodiment of sanitary napkin con-

form to the invention.

  FIG. 2 is a similar view corresponding to

a second embodiment.

  Fig. 1 is a complete view of a sanitary napkin in which the absorbent material 2, shown in broken lines, ends slightly above the ends of the napkin. It can be seen that adhesive circles 3 are arranged on the surface of a screen 1 facing a room

  garment, so as to end on the edge of the

  Absorbent 2 or nearby. These circles do not extend beyond the absorbent material in the areas of the flexible end tabs. It can also be seen that the pattern of distribution of the absorbent elements is set back

  inwards along the longitudinal edges of the

  Viette. As a result, the greater the flexibility, the more

  the pattern must be close to the outer longitudinal edges

laughing.

  Another embodiment of the invention is

  shown in FIG. 2. In this example, a sanitary napkin

  The recess at the ends of the napkin is, in this example, substantially the same as that provided for in FIGS.

  longitudinal edges. This particular arrangement, likewise

  turn, for example corresponds to the very slip protections 2488128 i

  thin. These articles generally have a greater

  plesse when compared to standard type towels,

  more cumbersome. In general, we must avoid

  Noticeable inward lines on the whole of the perimeter edges. It is obvious that if a stiffening element is used or if a rigid screen is used for a panty liner, it can have a larger shrinkage.

  It should be noted that no agency was found

  particularity proving to be superior to any one of the

  others as regards the reason for the distribution of

  adhesives. Any type of random or reproducible distribution pattern covering the indented area inward with some degree of uniformity is suitable for achieving the

purpose of the present invention.
