Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention [0001] The present invention relates to an incontinence pad for men,

The present invention relates to absorbent articles, and more particularly to a male incontinent pad.

Absorbent articles are mainly used by children and women. Babies wear disposable diapers. Women use menstrual pads. Baby diapers have been developed in such a way that the amount of water absorption is important and especially the problem of the skin of the child is not caused. Women's sanitary napkins were very important technology points to prevent leakage of acupuncture points even if the body movements occurred. Therefore, even in the same absorbent article, the shape and structure are inevitably different.

On the other hand, men's absorbent articles are also being used. Prostate hyperplasia, irritable bladder syndrome and diabetes also cause men to have incontinence. Male urinary incontinence is a symptom of urinary bladder becoming too sensitive and irrespective of one's will. In the case of a patient admitted to a hospital, there is no big problem even if a commercially available adult diaper is worn. However, if you are a social worker, you need a special structure of absorbent article because it always moves. In particular, it is necessary to consider the human body structure composed of the testicles and the penis.

The applicant of the present invention has proposed a sanitary pad for men's incontinence which can be worn while wrapping a male penis with Korean Registered Utility Model No. 20-476247. According to this, a bottom sheet made of a top sheet and a liquid-impermeable sheet made of a sheet having breathable and liquid permeability; And a sanitary pad (diaper) for male incontinence comprising a top sheet and a bottom sheet stacked vertically and fused or adhered to each other, the sanitary pad comprising a top sheet and a bottom sheet, And a bag-shaped configuration of a variable size that can easily change the space size of the accommodating portion in which the male penis is accommodated according to the user's body shape or use condition.

However, such a variable size pouch type sanitary pad had to be shaped like a pocket when worn by a user. There is a discomfort depending on the wearer. It is necessary to adjust the size of the bag shape according to the physical condition and the use conditions, and it is difficult to wear the bag because it has to be subjected to the adhesion process several times. In addition, when the adhesive is used by mistake, the problem of misfitting occurs.

The problem of urinary incontinence, on the other hand, is that there is always the risk of smelling and proliferating by urination. And it aggravates hygiene and fit at the same time.

Accordingly, the inventors of the present invention have studied for a long time to solve the above-mentioned problems, developed through trial and error, and finally completed the present invention.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a urinary incontinence pad for men which can be easily worn and can effectively absorb urine generated by urinary incontinence while structurally wrapping a penis and a scrotum of a male.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a urinary incontinence pad for men, which enhances hygiene and improves comfort by reducing the risk of odor and bacteria generated by urine.

On the other hand, other unspecified purposes of the present invention will be further considered within the scope of the following detailed description and easily deduced from the effects thereof.

According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided an absorbent article comprising a moisture absorbent pad disposed between a front sheet and a back sheet, the moisture absorbent pad including a moisture absorbent body including a first wrapping sheet wrapping over the first wrapping sheet, A male incontinence pad configured to be wrapped by a wrapping sheet of sheet,

It is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the disclosed embodiments, but, on the contrary, is intended to cover various modifications and equivalent arrangements included within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.

In the following description of the present invention, a detailed description of known functions and configurations incorporated herein will be omitted when it may obscure the subject matter of the present invention.

A male incontinence pad is constituted by sandwiching a hygroscopic pad between a front sheet and a back sheet. 1 shows a frontal configuration of a male incontinence pad 100 according to the present invention. In this frontal configuration, the hygroscopic pad is not yet shown. Therefore, Figure 1 can be seen in the configuration of the front sheet of the incontinence pad 100 of the present invention.

The front seats 101, 101a, and 101b do not exert a function of absorbing urine, such as a hygroscopic pad, but a function of intercepting the urine discharged from the human body or the urine absorbed by the built-in hygroscopic pad and the skin . Therefore, it is preferable that the front sheets 101, 101a, 101b have water repellency. Preferably, an olefin resin sheet such as polyethylene or polypropylene can be used. It is also possible to use a nonwoven fabric in which liquid-impervious properties are ensured through a laminate nonwoven fabric or a waterproof film laminated with a nonwoven fabric, preferably on a polyethylene sheet or the like.

The front sheets 101, 101a and 101b are bonded to the back sheet (see FIG. 2) by adhesive means such as hot melt or adhesive means such as heat sealing along the edge line 110, And the front sheet is divided into inner regions 101 and 101b and an edge region 101a. Then, the front sheet 101 and the hygroscopic pad are adhered to each other along the edge line 120 of the hygroscopic pad by means of an adhesive such as hot melt or an adhesive such as heat sealing. As a result, the position of the male incontinence pad 100 is fixed. As a result, a buffer region 101b of the front sheet is formed along the edge line 120. The width of the complete region 101b may be made larger in the head portion X in view of enhancing the standing property of the incontinence pad head portion X. [

Also, as shown, it is preferable that the width of the incontinence pad 100 is formed so that the width of the head part is narrower than the width of the body part. It is also preferable that the length of the head portion X is smaller than the length of the remaining body portion. More preferably, the length of the head portion X is approximately 1/3 of the entire length of the incontinence pad 100. As a result, the weight of the head portion X becomes smaller than the weight of the main body. As shown in Figs. 3 and 4, the head portion X is a portion that stands up when worn.

In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the incline reduction 130 may be installed at a central portion of the front sheet along the longitudinal direction of the incontinent pads 100 for men. As shown, at least one elastic yarn 140, 150 is mounted on the entire length of the incontinence pad 100 at both ends of the front sheet about the incision 130. In the embodiment of FIG. 1, two elastic yarns 140 and 150 are provided. It may be an elastic band not elastic yarn but strong elastic band.

The head of the incontinence pad 100 is pulled toward the main body by the elastic threads 140 and 150. Since the weight of the head portion is smaller than that of the main body portion, it stands up as shown in Fig. In addition, as the head rises, an open area is created along the incision while naturally. The male penis is located in the open area, which will be described below.

2 is a rear view of a male incontinence pad 100 of the present invention. The rear sheet 102, 102a is exposed. 1) is bonded to the front sheet (see Fig. 1) by adhesive means such as hot melt or adhesive means such as heat sealing along the edge line 110, and the inner region 102 And the edge region 102a are distinguished from each other. A double-sided adhesive portion 190 is provided in the inner region 102 along the longitudinal direction of the incontinence pad 100. The user removes the release paper 191 of the double-sided adhesive portion 190 and exposes the adhesive layer 192 to fix the incontinence pad 100 of the present invention to the panty.

The backsheets 102 and 102a may be made of the same liquid-impervious sheet as the front sheet. Preferably, an olefin resin sheet such as polyethylene or polypropylene can be used. In another embodiment, a nonwoven fabric in which liquid impervious properties are ensured through a laminate nonwoven fabric or a waterproof film laminated with a nonwoven fabric, such as a polyethylene sheet, may be used.

3 and 4 illustrate the actual use of the incontinence pad 100 of the present invention. As described above, since the head portion X is pulled toward the main body portion by the elastic yarns 140 and 150, the head portion X stands up to form the standing region. The front sheet is split by the elastic yarns 140 and 150 by the incision 130 of the central portion. Further, since the elastic yarns 140 and 150 are provided adjacent to the central end portions 130a and 130b of the front sheet, a plurality of wrinkles 141 and 151 are formed in the vicinity of the central end portions 130a and 130b.

With this configuration, the central portion of the front sheet 101 is opened along the longitudinal direction, and the open region Y accommodates the male penis. The wearer places his or her penis in this open area Y when wearing the incontinence pad 100 of the present invention. As a result, the portion where the urine is exuded and the hygroscopic pad 200 come into contact with each other. The hygroscopic pad 200 will absorb moisture, and the front sheet 101, which is a liquid-impermeable sheet, has water-repellent properties to prevent urine from leaking out.

The hygroscopic pad 200 includes a moisture absorber. The moisture absorber is composed of pulp and a superabsorbent polymer. As the high absorption polymer, a high absorption polymer particulate (SAP) or a high absorption polymer fiber (SAF) can be used. Examples of the pulp include cellulose fibers such as chemical pulp and fused pulp obtained from wood, artificial cellulose fibers such as rayon and acetate, and softwood pulp having a longer fiber length than hardwood pulp are preferred in terms of function and price Can be used. The method for producing the moisture absorber is preferably a method in which a thermally fusible fiber and a superabsorbent polymer are mixed into pulp and a web is formed by an air-laid method so that it can be thinned, followed by heat bonding.

As shown in FIG. 5, the moisture absorption pad 200 may be formed of a wrapping sheet 210, 230 for wrapping the moisture absorption body 220 . The lapping sheet 210 covers the upper surface of the moisture absorber 220. The wrapping sheet 230 surrounds the lower surface of the moisture absorber 220.

Since it is important that the lapping sheet 210 wrapping the moisture absorber 220 on the upper side quickly spreads urine to the moisture absorber 220, a hydrophilic treatment nonwoven fabric can be used. The material fibers constituting the nonwoven fabric may be natural fibers such as regenerated fibers such as rayon and cupra, cotton, etc., as well as synthetic fibers such as olefinic, polyester, and polyamide, such as polyethylene or polypropylene, A nonwoven fabric obtained by an appropriate processing method such as a lapping method, a lapping method, a lapping method, a lapping method, a lapping method, a lapping method, a lapping method, a lapping method, In the case of using synthetic fibers, the hydrophilic treated nonwoven fabric can be produced by, for example, a method of copolymerizing a compound having a hydrophilic group during the production of synthetic fibers, a method of treating with a metal salt such as stannic chloride, partially dissolving the surface to make it porous, A hydrophilic treatment nonwoven fabric imparting hydrophilicity by applying a capillary phenomenon can be used.

The wrapping sheet 230 wrapping the moisture absorber 220 underneath is preferably made of a liquid-impervious sheet. The nonwoven fabric may preferably be a water repellent nonwoven fabric. For example, a water-repellent nonwoven fabric coated with a silicone, paraffin, alkylchromic chloride-based water repellent or the like can be used. Further, a sheet material having at least water repellency, such as an olefin resin sheet such as polyethylene or polypropylene, may be used.

In one preferred embodiment of the present invention, it is preferable to form the coating layer 231 of the polyphenol component on the surface of the lapping sheet 230. A functional liquid useful for the human body can be expected by dispersing and applying a certain amount of an organic polyphenol extract on the surface of the lapping sheet 230. Polyphenol is a substance found in plants, a chemical with one or more phenol groups in one molecule, and is especially known as a natural antioxidant.

Polyphenol (polyphenol) is a generic term for phenolic hydroxyl (OH) compounds in plants that are produced by the photosynthesis of plants, and it is known that plants protect themselves against ultraviolet rays, active oxygen, predators, and the like. For example, the black pigment of black beans, blue-violet color of blueberries, the bitter taste of green tea, and the bitter taste of red grapes are examples, with about 5,000 species known in plants. These polyphenols are known to prevent aging because they have an antioxidant effect that converts active oxygen (harmful oxygen) in the human body to harmless substances. In addition, it is reported that it is excellent in the protection of DNA protection, cellular constituent proteins and enzymes that are damaged by exposure to reactive oxygen, thereby lowering the risk of various diseases. It is also known to prevent heart disease with anti-cancer action.

In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a complex polyphenol extract may be used. Especially Ecklonia Cava Extract, Prunus Mume Fruit Extract and Helianthus Tuberosus Root Extract were used. Aquanol, a polyphenol component of Ganoderma lucidum extract, is combined with a malodorous substance and adsorbed and neutralized, thereby exhibiting a deodorizing effect due to the anti-inflammatory effect. Especially, the polyphenols in the menthol have more OH than other polyphenols and have excellent deodorizing effect. The plum extract absorbs odor and inhibits microbial growth. Pork potato root extract is known to have deodorizing effect by Selenium component.

In the present invention, a 1% concentration solution of Odorless ^TM , which is a complex polyphenol extract mixed with Vasselab's phlegmon extract, plum extract and porcine potato root extract, was diluted with water in the range of 100 to 1000 ppm. If it is less than 100 ppm, the acidity is high. On the other hand, if it is larger than 1000 ppm, the anti-inflammation / deodorizing effect is deteriorated. The diluted composite polyphenol extract is sprayed onto the inner surface of the nonwoven fabric, that is, the surface of the wrapping sheet 230. Then, sufficiently dry at room temperature. Preferably at room temperature for 2 to 24 hours. And can be dried more quickly, preferably in an improved drying environment such as hot air.

The deodorization rate of 500 ppm of ammonia gas was tested in a 1 L container at a temperature of 24 ° C and a humidity of 66% for a 10 x 10 cm (2.2 g) sample of the wrapping sheet thus formed. As a result, the deodorization rate of 100% was obtained at the test times of 30 minutes, 60 minutes, 90 minutes and 120 minutes.

As described above, the liquid polyphenol component extract diluent is uniformly dispersed on the surface of the lapping sheet 230, and the coated lapping sheet 230 is sufficiently dried to form the coating layer 230 of the polyphenol component on the surface of the lapping sheet 230 (231). In another preferred embodiment of the present invention, an immersion layer 232 of silver nanoparticles may be provided on the other surface of the lapping sheet 230 as shown in FIG. The silver nanoparticles of a predetermined size may be impregnated on the surface of the nonwoven fabric 230 in a known manner and then sufficiently dried to obtain a wrapping sheet 230 having the silver nanoparticle immersion layer 232 formed thereon.

Preferably, nanopeak ( ^TM) 5-10 nano stable nano silver is diluted with 100 ppm to 1000 ppm. The deodorization rate of 500 ppm of ammonia gas was tested in a 1 L container at a temperature of 24 ° C and a humidity of 66% for a 10 x 10 cm (2.2 g) sample of the wrapping sheet thus formed. As a result, the deodorization rate of 100% was obtained at the test times of 30 minutes, 60 minutes, 90 minutes and 120 minutes. That is, the deodorization rate of the composite polyphenol extract sample was the same.

This immersion layer 232 exerts the functionality of an antimicrobial saliva against the urine that is lodged in the hygroscopic pad due to the influence of silver nanoparticles. However, since the immersion layer 232 is installed in the opposite direction to the human body, that is, in the panty direction, it is structured so as not to pose a risk to the human body.

More preferably, a polyphenol component coating layer 231 is formed on one side of the lapping sheet 230, and then an immersion layer 232 of silver nanoparticles is formed on the other side of the lapping sheet 230 in the next step It is good to do. As described above, the surface of the lapping sheet 230 in the direction facing the human body can have a polyphenol component organic layer that is beneficial to the human body, and a silver nanoparticle layer having an antibacterial function can be provided on the pant side opposite to the human body. By doing so, the organic layer of the polyphenol component is configured to anticipate the antimicrobial and antiperspirant effect of the silver nanoparticles provided on the opposite side.

In another embodiment of the present invention, a separate sheet impregnated with silver nanoparticles may be interposed on the back surface of the lapping sheet 230.

The scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the description and the expression of the embodiments explicitly described in the foregoing. It is again to be understood that the present invention is not limited by the modifications or substitutions that are obvious to those skilled in the art.
