Description

{Personal sanitary devices for women}

The present invention relates to a sanitary apparatus for women such as a sanitary napkin, and more particularly, to a sanitary apparatus for women which can prevent menstrual blood from exuding from being worn on clothes and from giving a wet feeling to the wearer.

A feminine hygiene appliance that absorbs or retains menses and other body exudates of women is designed and used in several types of articles. By type, sanitary napkins, one type, are worn on the outside of the body around the vulva and are designed primarily to absorb large amounts. Secondly, a panty liner or panty shield is a thin product that is worn on the outside of the body around the vulva. It is designed for low-volume blades and can be seen as a kind of sanitary napkin. Third, the tamper is designed to be located inside the body of the vagina.

The sanitary napkin can have a high absorbent capacity by a thin or thick absorbent element. However, during any body movement, such as walking, the napkin can escape its original position of protecting the vulva region due to the pressing force of the wearer's thighs and vulva regions. Even in a relatively short period, the sanitary napkin can escape from the vaginal opening. In addition, the wearer's movements, particularly the violent movements such as fast walking or running, can cause discomfort by being rubbed and washed in the sensitive vulvar region. Not only the movement of the sanitary napkin and the discomfort of the wearer but also the degree of recognition that the user wears the sanitary napkin may be high. Some thick sanitary napkins can reveal a lot of contours when viewed through the wearer's outer garments. Sanitary napkins can be evident when worn with body-fitting clothing, including pants, body suits, bathing suits, or similar thin or close-fitting garments.

Panty liners or panty shields are developed for light or low menses, and there are many basically shared problems with sanitary napkins. And, although some panty liners or panty shields are more flexible due to their thin thickness, they appear less protruding in appearance and are generally more comfortable than thicker sanitary napkins, thinner panty liner or panty shields may be lacking in performance in terms of absorbent capacity.

The tamper is worn in the body within the vagina to block the body fluids. However, sometimes the tamper can not completely prevent leakage because it does not form a complete seal due to the radial expansion in the quality. Even without the problems of radial expansion and swelling in the above-mentioned quality, the tamper has a problem that it can not serve as a completely reliable sanitary protection device.

In any case, since the menstrual blood is once absorbed into the absorbent material of these apparatuses, the menstrual blood may be partly absorbed into the surrounding skin and buried in the surrounding skin, Particularly, in the case of sanitary napkins or panty shields, it is difficult to prevent wet feeling even when the absorbed substance absorbs the menstrual blood. In addition, even though the absorbed material absorbs the moisture over a certain period of time, menstrual blood is likely to generate an unpleasant odor due to corruption due to contact with the air, thereby limiting the activity of the wearer and feeling psychological atrophy.

Korean Patent Publication No. 1989-0014071: thin and flexible sanitary napkin

The present invention solves or alleviates the problems of a sanitary apparatus for women such as the existing sanitary napkin described above, and it is possible to prevent a wet feeling at a portion contacting the human body in a state where menstrual blood is absorbed in the absorbent material, The present invention relates to a sanitary apparatus for women.

An object of the present invention is to provide a sanitary apparatus for women which has a smaller volume than a conventional sanitary napkin, can increase the throughput of menstrual blood in the same volume, and can be easily worn and replaced.

According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a feminine hygiene appliance comprising:

A non-permeable bag inlet protruding from the absorbent member; and a non-permeable bag inlet protruding from the absorbent member, wherein the non-permeable bag inlet protrudes from the absorbent member An inserting portion which can be inserted to be fixed to the vaginal opening, and an absorbent material is provided in the main body portion in a limited region.

In the present invention, the shape and layer structure of the impermeable blocking member and the absorbent member may be substantially the same as those of the conventional sanitary napkin, and the absorbent member may be one made of only the sheet and the tissues in which the absorbent core layer in the conventional absorbent member is omitted It is possible.

In the present invention, the non-water-permeable bag may be made of a rubber material, and the insertion portion is stronger in shape restoration than the other portion (body portion), so that it can be quickly restored to its original shape when there is no external force, It can be made to cover with a separate cover. For example, in the inserting portion of the present invention, the inlet of the non-permeable bag is formed as a circular or elliptical elastic ring, and can be made to return to its original shape when the external force is lost even if it is deformed by an external force.

At this time, in the present invention, only the cover for fitting the non-permeable bag itself or the inserting portion can be detachably installed.

In the present invention, the transition portion connecting the insertion portion and the main body portion can also have a large rigidity and resilience so that the insertion portion and the main body portion can maintain the maximum passageway even when the insertion portion and the main body portion are at a predetermined angle or are deflected. For example, it can be formed so as to be thicker than the body portion and maintain a constant shape.

In the present invention, the non-water-permeable bag may be formed with a triple layer of an impermeable layer, an absorbent material layer, and a sheet layer so that the absorbent material is confined within a predetermined region in the body portion. Such a triple layer is formed by laminating an impermeable layer bag such as a rubber layer so that the inside thereof is seen outward and laminating the absorbing material on the inner surface of the body portion and covering the absorbing material with a water permeable cloth (including nonwoven fabric) , And can be made in such a way as to turn over again.

In the present invention, the non-permeable bag may be made by inserting a separate bag wrapping the absorbent material layer in the sheet layer in the impervious layer body portion so that the absorbent material is confined to a certain region in the body portion.

According to the present invention, since the menstrual blood flows from the vagina into the non-water-permeable bag body through the inlet and is absorbed by the absorbent material in the body, the absorbed menstrual blood is prevented from leaking out of the non-permeable bag, can do.

In addition, according to the present invention, when a non-permeable bag material is used which is difficult to permeate air, the inlet of the non-permeable bag is opened into the vagina, and the vaginal space is not a place where the outside air easily flows, Can be easily separated from the air by a certain distance compared to a sanitary napkin or the like exposed to the air, so that the occurrence of decay and odor can be suppressed.

The present invention also contemplates the use of non-permeable pouches in accordance with whether impermeable blocking members and absorbent members are similar to conventional napkin pockets around the non-permeable pockets, have.

In addition, when the size of the non-water-permeable bag is changed, the blocking member and the absorbent member around the non-water-permeable bag can be used for a considerable period of time without being replaced, so that the volume of the overall waste can be reduced and the use cost can be reduced.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

The sanitary apparatus for women of the present embodiment substantially shares the basic structure of the sanitary napkin of the related art. That is, basically, there is provided an impermeable blocking member 30 and an absorbing member 10 provided on a portion of the blocking member 30 in contact with the body.

The absorbent member 10 can be of various shapes and layer structures, including a liquid pervious sheet 13, a moisture retaining tissue 15, such as cotton, and an absorbent core 17 comprised of a hydrogel- A general absorbing member is assumed.

The surface of the liquid pervious sheet 13 which is in contact with the body is hydrophilic. The hydrophilic body surface allows the liquid to pass through the sheet sooner, thereby suppressing the possibility that the menstrual blood will be absorbed onto the sheet without being absorbed by the absorbent core. Surfactant treatment may be performed to make the body surface of the sheet 13 hydrophilic.

The absorbent core 17 is generally compressible and smooth and does not irritate the skin of the wearer, but is formed of a member capable of absorbing and retaining body secretions and may exhibit many forms and distributions, such as rectangles, water clocks, dog bones, and the like. The absorbent core can be made of a wide variety of liquid absorbent materials and can be made from a variety of materials including airfelt, creped cellulose wadding, absorbent foam, absorbent sponges, synthetic staple fibers, polymer fibers, hydrogel- Or a combination thereof, or a combination thereof, and is usually made of a polymeric gellant that absorbs liquid to form a hydrogel.

The sanitary device of this embodiment has two flaps 20, each of which is adjacent to and extends laterally from the side edges of the absorbent core. The flap 20 is wrapped around the wearer's undergarment so that the flap 20 is positioned between the wearer's undergarment edge and the body. The flap 20 has a layer structure of a normal sheet 13, a tissue 15 and a blocking member 30. When the part of the menstrual blood flows out of the region of the absorbent core 17, And serves as a safety device for allowing the sanitary napkin (15) to absorb and adhere to the sanitary napkin so that the sanitary napkin can be attached and fixed at a proper position of the undergarment. The adhesive layer of the adhesive treatment zone 21 is mainly composed of a pressure-sensitive adhesive.

According to the present embodiment, however, a part of the absorbent member 10 is cut at a position corresponding to the quality portion when the sanitary device is worn, and the shielding member 30 and the absorbent member 10 are cut through the cut- The main body portion 120 of the non-permeable bag 100 of the present invention is provided between the two portions. The remaining portion of the non-permeable bag, that is, the insertion portion 110, protrudes outward through the cutout portion 115.

The non-permeable bag 100 may be made of latex or silicone rubber, and it is preferable that the non-permeable bag 100 is made of the same material as the whole body. The insertion portion 110 may protrude vertically from the basic plane when assuming a flat basic plane composed of the blocking member 30 and the absorbent member 10, but may be formed to be slightly inclined forward toward the wearer's body, The length can be about 2 ~ 3cm.

The transition portion 130 and the insertion portion 110 connecting the body portion 120 and the insertion portion 110 are formed thicker than the body portion 120 to maintain the shape of the insertion portion 110 constant and maintain the passage when there is no external force do. For example, in the present embodiment, the transition portion 130 may have a bent shape such that the insertion portion 110 protrudes obliquely from the body portion 120 to secure a passage between the insertion portion and the body portion.

In the case where the width of the vaginal opening portion in the insertion portion 110 is formed as a whole like the width of the front and rear portions thereof and the rubber thickness as a whole is formed thick so that the insertion portion can easily maintain a constant shape, The width of the non-permeable bag 100 is reduced at this portion, and such deformation is also affected at the portion of the inlet 111 of the non-permeable bag, so that the inlet 111 of the non-permeable bag is in close contact with the inner wall of the vial The problem can not be solved. In this case, if the elastic restoring force of the non-water-permeable bag 100 largely deformed at the vaginal opening portion acts, the wearer may feel a foreign body feeling larger. Therefore, in order to prevent such problems, in the present embodiment, the formation width of the middle portion of the insertion portion 110 corresponding to the vaginal opening of the wearer is formed smaller than the front and back portions, so that the bottleneck portion 113, .

In this embodiment, the inlet 111 of the non-permeable bag 100, that is, the inlet 111 of the inserting portion 110, is formed in a circular or elliptical ring shape. The ring has a high restoring force due to its elasticity, so that it is in close contact with the vaginal wall in the vagina when inserted into the vaginal opening. Depending on the shape and condition of the vagina, the ring receives an external force and maintains its close contact with the vaginal wall even when receiving external force. However, the restoring force of the ring may vary depending on the thickness and the material of the ring. If the restoring force is too large, the foreign substance may be increased to the wearer so that the foreign substance can be maintained in close contact with the wall Select the thickness or material of the ring.

When using this embodiment, first remove the package and unfold the feminine hygiene appliance with the non-permeable barrier 30, the absorbent member 10 and the non-permeable bag 100, and fix it with the adhesive layer do. The insertion portion 110 of the non-permeable bag 100 exposed and protruded through the cutout 115 of the absorbent member 110 is inserted into the vagina through the vaginal opening, in particular the ring of the inlet 111. [ When the ring is inserted, the bottleneck 113 is naturally positioned at the vaginal opening in the process of restoring the original shape of the insertion portion 110. When the ring is inserted into the vaginal inner wall 110, As shown in FIG.

In this state, the menses generated in the vagina flow toward the vaginal opening depending on the gravity, and most of the vaginal blood flows into the non-aqueous bag 100 through the ring closely attached to the inner wall of the vagina. Through the concave portion and the transition portion, To the department. In the body portion 120, the water absorbent material is absorbed into the absorbent material layer 123 such as a polymerizable gelling agent through the water permeable sheet 125.

The absorbent material layer 123 is partly attached to the inner wall of the body portion 120 of the non-permeable bag 100 and is covered by the water permeable sheet 125 attached to the inner wall of the body portion 120, Even when the body part 120 absorbs menstrual blood to absorb the menstrual blood, its position is limited and can not escape from the main body part 120. Even when the main body part 120 is pressed by the body action of the wearer, Menstrual blood can not flow out.

If the capacity of the absorbent material in the non-permeable bag is sufficient, the present invention can continue to use for one menstrual period without the necessity of replacing the non-permeable bag since the smell due to the air contact of the menstrual blood or the wet feeling leaking out is suppressed or avoided .

Of course, when the capacity of the absorbent material in the non-permeable bag 100 is insufficient, if the menstrual blood of a certain volume or more flows into the bag, the absorbability of the polymerizable gelling agent drops, and the possibility of menstrual discharge may increase, . The insertion portion 110 is first pulled out of the vagina in the wearing state for replacement and the non-permeable bag 100 is cut into the cut portion 115 with the blocking member 30 and the absorbent member 10 left as they are, To separate and remove it from the feminine hygiene appliance. Then, the new non-permeable bag 100 is taken out from the individual package and the main body part 120 is inserted between the blocking member 30 and the absorbent member 10 through the absorbent member cutout part 115, The insertion portion 110 is inserted into the vagina in the same manner as when the first insertion portion 110 is worn.

When the non-permeable bag 100 is replaced in this manner, for example, the capacity of the bag is not reduced and the usable capacity is about 15cc-20cc. The total amount of menstrual blood of the woman is about 30cc-60cc, If it continues for five days, it will be enough to replace one non-waterproof pocket every day.

3 is a perspective view showing an embodiment different from the previous embodiment.

In this embodiment, the cover 150 is further provided to be in close contact with the outside of the insertion portion 110 'in the non-permeable bag and can be coupled to the insertion portion 110' of the non-permeable bag 100. Here, an element such as a ring is not provided at the entrance of the non-permeable bag 100. The cover 150 may be made of a different material than the non-permeable bag to have a greater restoring force to better maintain its overall shape as compared to the non-permeable pocket insert 110 ' The inlet 151 is formed with an elastic ring.

On the outer surface of the cover 150, a layer 153 made of a face covers the non-water-permeable rubber layer. The surface 151 of the cover 150 is not in close contact with the inner wall of the vagina, and a part of the menstrual blood is covered with the cover 150, When leaking along the outer side, it may play a role of absorbing a part of leaking menses.

In such a configuration, it is not necessary to replace the non-permeable bag itself during the menstruation period when the absorbent capacity of the non-permeable bag is sufficient. However, since the cover 150 contacting with the body may have a bad feeling of being in contact with the menstrual blood, It is possible to replace the cover 150 only at the insertion portion at any time.

Figure 4 is a cross-sectional view of the non-permeable bag of the present invention cut from the mouth of the insert 110 "to the closed end of the body portion 120, illustrating the structure of the non-permeable bag in more detail, And has a body part 120 and an insertion part 110 ", and a transition part 130 which is bent and connected between the body part 120 and the insertion part 110". The entrance part is formed by a circular ring.

An absorbent material layer 123 (absorbent core layer) is formed on the entire inner wall of the rubber layer 121 as a non-permeable layer and a water permeable sheet 125 is provided on the absorbent material layer 123 in the body portion 120. The absorbent material layer 123 is made of a polymer gelling agent and is uniformly distributed on the inner wall of the main body portion 120 of the rubber layer 121 with substantially the same thickness or density. The sheet 125 may be made of a nonwoven fabric and may cover the absorbent material layer 123 and extend a certain distance toward the entrance side of the absorbent material layer 123 to be in contact with the inner wall of the rubber layer 121 I have. The places where the dent material layer contacts such as the rubber layer 121 and the absorbent material layer 123, the absorbent material layer 123 and the sheet 125, the sheet 125 and the rubber layer 121 are adhesively bonded to each other .

To create this layered structure, first a rubber layer 121 pocket is made. The rubber layer bag 121 is made of a nontoxic rubber which is resilient, resilient, thin, and resistant to perforation or tearing, and the rubber layer 121 can basically be made in the same manner as a rubber balloon or a condom. The inner layer of the rubber layer 121 is turned upside down so that the absorbent material layer 123 is laminated or adhered to the body portion 120 In this state, the absorbent material layer 123 is covered with a sheet 125 (including cloth and nonwoven fabric) having good permeability over the absorbent material layer 123 and adhered to the inner surface of the main body portion. In this state, A triple layer of the rubber layer 121, the absorbent material layer 123, and the sheet 125 can be formed.

If the absorbent material layer is a powder (powder type) material, it is applied to the rubber layer using a solvent using a part of the solvent, partially dried, and the sheet is covered thereon to adhere the sheet and the rubber layer. Then, the rubber layer bag is turned over, To return to the powder state and use it.

Also, although not shown, a method of wrapping the absorbent material in a sheet to make one pocket, and inserting the absorbent material-sheet pocket into the rubber layer pocket can also be used so that the absorbent material layer is confined to a certain region in the body portion. Particularly, when the transition portion of the non-waterproof bag or the insertion portion is formed so as to maintain a thick shape, it is possible to easily insert the absorbent material-sheet bag at first, but when the menstrual blood is absorbed, the volume increases, It is difficult to get out of the non-permeable bag through the portion and the absorbent substance layer can be more stably confined to the region in the body portion.

When such non-permeable pouches are used, they are brought into close contact with the vaginal wall by the inlet structure such as the ring of the insertion portion or the ring of the cover at the entrance, so that the menstrual blood can mostly enter into the non-permeable pouch and the amount of menstrual blood leaking out of the pouch is very small In the feminine hygiene appliance of the present invention, the menstrual blood can be strongly inhibited from being put on the blocking member or the absorbent member, the skin and the undergarment which are located outside the non-permeable bag.

Since the menstrual blood flowing into the bag is sufficiently fixed to the absorbent material layer and the absorbent material layer is confined between the rubber bag layer and the sheet layer, a phenomenon in which menstrual blood leaks out of the bag again can be strongly avoided.

As a result, in the feminine hygiene apparatus of the present invention, the menstrual blood is rarely adhered to the non-permeable pouch but is very small, so that the portions other than the pouch need not be changed during one menstrual period, So that it is possible to avoid the odor and the moist and moist feeling touching the skin, and the wearing comfort of the sanitary apparatus such as the sanitary napkin is improved.

Also, since at least the blocking member and the absorbent member are present around the non-permeable bag as in the conventional case, even if the non-permeable bag leaks, the leaked portion is absorbed by the absorbent member and blocked by the blocking member, Exits can be blocked in duplicate. Since the wearer can easily replace the sanitary napkin with a new sanitary napkin, the wearer can easily replace the sanitary napkin with the sanitary napkin. In the present invention, Unlike the blocking member or the absorbing member, it can be manufactured in a small size that does not display well on the outside.

While the present invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to exemplary embodiments thereof, it is clearly understood that the same is by way of illustration and example only and is not to be construed as limiting the scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims. .
