Definitions
- Some embodiments of the invention relate to a system and method for supplying day care providers with products, and in particular to a system and method for supplying day care providers with products that include surface disinfectants.
- Day care providers have unique needs when it comes to the products they use to change diapers.
- One of the reasons day care providers have unique needs is that they are subject to hygiene standards which are established by various government agencies.
- employees of day care providers are often required to disinfect the surfaces of a diaper changing area before and/or after every diaper change.
- day care providers are also commonly required to change diapers at least once per period of time without regard to how much waste is actually contained within the diapers.
- the high number of diaper changes per day requires day care providers to stock high quantities of diaper changing materials. Stocking high quantities of diaper changing materials takes up significant space such that day care providers often struggle to find an adequate place to store the diaper changing materials.
- Day care providers are also typically unable to efficiently access the appropriate products during diapers changes because of the way that the products are delivered.
- diapers may be supplied in one package, child cleaning wipes in another package and surface disinfectants in yet another package.
- the inefficiency associated with accessing so many different diaper changing products from separate packages is problematic for day care providers because so many diapers are changed every day.
- diaper changing products are typically delivered to day care providers in multiple different packages of assorted sizes and quantities, it is difficult for day care providers to maintain an accurate inventory of diaper changing supplies.
- the present invention relates to a system and method for supplying day care providers with products related to diaper changing.
- the system and method may supply day care providers with products such that day care providers are able to conveniently perform multiple diaper changes per day under disinfected conditions and in compliance with government regulations.
- the system and method may also reduce the need to purchase and store excessive inventories of products that are used to change diapers.
- the system includes a holder and a diaper that is secured to the holder.
- the system further includes a surface disinfectant that is secured to the holder. Supplying a diaper and a surface disinfectant in one holder allows day care providers to more conveniently perform each diaper change under disinfected conditions.
- the system in another aspect, includes a holder and a plurality of diapers that are secured to the holder.
- the system further includes a surface disinfectant (e.g., a plurality of individual supplies of surface disinfectant) that is secured to the holder.
- a surface disinfectant e.g., a plurality of individual supplies of surface disinfectant
- the system allows day care providers to conveniently perform multiple diaper changes per day under disinfected conditions because there is an ample supply of diapers and surface disinfectant attached to the holder.
- the system includes a holder, a plurality of diapers, a plurality of surface disinfectants and a plurality of receptacles.
- Each receptacle is secured to the holder and includes a diaper and a surface disinfectant. Since each receptacle includes everything that may be needed for at least one diaper change, the system makes it easier for day care providers to inventory the products that are used to change diapers.
- the present invention relates to a method of supplying day care providers with products.
- the method includes securing a diaper and a surface disinfectant to a holder.
- the method further includes delivering the holder to a day care provider such that the day care provider can readily use the delivered products to perform a diaper change under disinfected conditions.
- the method includes securing a plurality of diapers and a surface disinfectant (e.g., a plurality of individual supplies of surface disinfectant) to a holder.
- the method further includes delivering the holder to a day care provider such that the day care provider can efficiently use the products in the holder to perform multiple diaper changes per day under disinfected conditions.
- the method includes securing a plurality of diapers and a plurality of surface disinfectants to a plurality of receptacles such that there is a diaper and a surface disinfectant secured to each of the receptacles.
- the method further includes securing the plurality of receptacles to a holder and delivering the holder to a day care provider.
- the individual receptacles within the holder may make it easier for day care providers to inventory an appropriate amount of products that relate to diaper changing since one receptacle can be used for each diaper change.
- the cost for each receptacle may be readily passed along to clients of the day care provider.
- FIG. 1 illustrates a schematic perspective view of an example system and method for supplying day care providers with products.
- FIG. 2 illustrates a schematic perspective view of another example system and method for supplying day care providers with products.
- FIG. 3 illustrates a schematic perspective view of still another example system and method for supplying day care providers with products.
- FIG. 1 illustrates a system 100 for supplying day care providers with products related to diaper changing.
- the system 100 includes a holder 10 and a diaper 12 that is secured to the holder 10 .
- the system 100 further includes a surface disinfectant 14 that is secured to the holder 10 .
- “secured” means containing, constraining, enclosing, holding, compressing, contacting or supporting within, upon and/or against the holder by any method.
- FIG. 1 illustrates that a box may be used as holder 10
- any type of container or storage device may be used in system 100 .
- Some other example containers, or holders include cans, jars, racks, bags, pouches, cubbies, shelves, drawers, dispensers, spindles, cores, cupboards, closets, clips, cabinets, crates, trunks, totes and/or tubs (among others).
- the holder 10 may be disposable or reusable and may be plain or decorated in some manner. In addition, the holder 10 may be used as a shipping container or to perform some other function.
- diaper 12 may be used in system 100 or any of the systems described herein.
- Some example diapers include newborn diapers, premature baby diapers, overnight diapers and diapers of various other sizes.
- Other example diapers include specialized diapers, such as diapers for urine absorption, feces absorption, blood absorption, sweat absorption, menses absorption and diapers that apply a lotion or medication.
- the diapers may also be swim pants, training pants, diaper pants (PULLUPS®, EASY UPS®, GOODNIGHTS®) and absorbent underpants (among others).
- diaper 12 may be a low absorbency diaper that can be used instead of a thicker more absorbent diaper.
- the low absorbency diaper may be used in part because day care providers are required to change diapers every so often without regard to how much waste is actually contained within the diapers.
- using a thinner low absorbency diaper in system 100 may be desirable in order to minimize the space that is necessary to store the large quantity of diapers which are typically used by day care providers.
- a surface disinfectant is something that disinfects surfaces as opposed to skin.
- the surface disinfectant 14 may have anti-viral activity or anti-viral activity in combination with anti-microbial, anti-sporicidal, anti-parasitical and/or anti-fungal activity.
- the surface disinfectant 14 may be any type of surface disinfectant known now or discovered in the future.
- the surface disinfectant 14 may include an individual packet, bag or container of surface disinfectant.
- the surface disinfectant 14 may be used to disinfect changing surfaces (hard or soft).
- Some example surface disinfectants include sprays, soaps, aerosols, pumps, dispensers (e.g. non-contact dispensers).
- the surface disinfectant 14 may also placed onto some type of medium (e.g., a wipe).
- One example active ingredient that may be used in surface disinfectant 14 is hypochlorite (i.e., bleach), which is anti-bacterial, anti-viral and anti-fungal.
- Some other example active ingredients that may be used in surface disinfectant 14 are Chlorohehexidine and/or Iodine/Iodophors, which are each anti-bacterial, anti-viral and anti-fungal.
- Another example active ingredient is hydrogen peroxide combined with an iodophors or a quaternarium ammonium material such that the combination is anti-bacterial, anti-viral, anti-fungal and anti-sporicidal.
- Still another example active ingredient that may be used in surface disinfectants are phenols (e.g., O-phenylphenol, cresols and pine oil among others), which are anti-bacterial, anti-viral and anti-fungal.
- the active ingredients in the surface disinfectant 14 may be any type of active ingredient as long as the surface disinfect 14 has anti-viral activity or anti-viral activity in combination with anti-microbial, anti-sporicidal, anti-parasitical and/or anti-fungal activity.
- Other example active ingredients that may be used in surface disinfectant 14 are quaternium ammonium (QA) compounds (e.g., alkyl aryl QA, benzyl QA, dimethyl QA, ethyl benzyl QA, Octyl QA, Silane QA), which are anti-bacterial and anti-viral.
- QA quaternium ammonium
- active ingredients that may be used in surface disinfectants are aldehydes (e.g., formaldehyde and/or glutaraldehyde), which are anti-bacterial, anti-viral, anti-fungal, anti-sporicidal and anti-parasitical.
- the active ingredient in the surface disinfectant 14 may be a combination of anionic and organic acids (e.g., sodium lauryl sulfate and citric acid), which are anti-bacterial and anti-viral.
- the system 100 may further include a child cleaning wipe 16 .
- the wipe 16 may be any type of wipe. Some example wipes include wet wipes, pre-moistened wipes, dry wipes, tissues, hand towels, paper towels, toilet paper, and wipes on a roll.
- the child cleaning wipe 16 may be stored in an individual packet, or container, in order to avoid cross contamination when multiple diaper changes are performed by the day care.

Description
- Some embodiments of the invention relate to a system and method for supplying day care providers with products, and in particular to a system and method for supplying day care providers with products that include surface disinfectants.
- Day care providers have unique needs when it comes to the products they use to change diapers. One of the reasons day care providers have unique needs is that they are subject to hygiene standards which are established by various government agencies. As an example, employees of day care providers are often required to disinfect the surfaces of a diaper changing area before and/or after every diaper change.
- In addition, day care providers are also commonly required to change diapers at least once per period of time without regard to how much waste is actually contained within the diapers. The high number of diaper changes per day requires day care providers to stock high quantities of diaper changing materials. Stocking high quantities of diaper changing materials takes up significant space such that day care providers often struggle to find an adequate place to store the diaper changing materials.
- Day care providers are also typically unable to efficiently access the appropriate products during diapers changes because of the way that the products are delivered. As an example, diapers may be supplied in one package, child cleaning wipes in another package and surface disinfectants in yet another package. The inefficiency associated with accessing so many different diaper changing products from separate packages is problematic for day care providers because so many diapers are changed every day. In addition, since diaper changing products are typically delivered to day care providers in multiple different packages of assorted sizes and quantities, it is difficult for day care providers to maintain an accurate inventory of diaper changing supplies.
- There is a need for systems and methods that are able to address the particular needs of day care providers for products related to diaper changing. The systems and methods should also be able to supply day care providers with products related to diaper changing in a manner that facilitates multiple diaper changes per day under disinfected conditions.
- The present invention relates to a system and method for supplying day care providers with products related to diaper changing. The system and method may supply day care providers with products such that day care providers are able to conveniently perform multiple diaper changes per day under disinfected conditions and in compliance with government regulations. The system and method may also reduce the need to purchase and store excessive inventories of products that are used to change diapers.
- In one aspect, the system includes a holder and a diaper that is secured to the holder. The system further includes a surface disinfectant that is secured to the holder. Supplying a diaper and a surface disinfectant in one holder allows day care providers to more conveniently perform each diaper change under disinfected conditions.
- In another aspect, the system includes a holder and a plurality of diapers that are secured to the holder. The system further includes a surface disinfectant (e.g., a plurality of individual supplies of surface disinfectant) that is secured to the holder. The system allows day care providers to conveniently perform multiple diaper changes per day under disinfected conditions because there is an ample supply of diapers and surface disinfectant attached to the holder.
- In still another aspect, the system includes a holder, a plurality of diapers, a plurality of surface disinfectants and a plurality of receptacles. Each receptacle is secured to the holder and includes a diaper and a surface disinfectant. Since each receptacle includes everything that may be needed for at least one diaper change, the system makes it easier for day care providers to inventory the products that are used to change diapers.
- In another aspect, the present invention relates to a method of supplying day care providers with products. The method includes securing a diaper and a surface disinfectant to a holder. The method further includes delivering the holder to a day care provider such that the day care provider can readily use the delivered products to perform a diaper change under disinfected conditions.
- In yet another aspect, the method includes securing a plurality of diapers and a surface disinfectant (e.g., a plurality of individual supplies of surface disinfectant) to a holder. The method further includes delivering the holder to a day care provider such that the day care provider can efficiently use the products in the holder to perform multiple diaper changes per day under disinfected conditions.
- In still another aspect, the method includes securing a plurality of diapers and a plurality of surface disinfectants to a plurality of receptacles such that there is a diaper and a surface disinfectant secured to each of the receptacles. The method further includes securing the plurality of receptacles to a holder and delivering the holder to a day care provider. The individual receptacles within the holder may make it easier for day care providers to inventory an appropriate amount of products that relate to diaper changing since one receptacle can be used for each diaper change. In addition, the cost for each receptacle may be readily passed along to clients of the day care provider.
- The purposes and features of the present invention will be set forth in the description that follows. Additional features of the invention may be realized and attained by the product and processes particularly pointed out in the written description and claims hereof, as well as from the appended drawings.
- It is to be understood that both the foregoing general description and the following detailed description are exemplary and are intended to provide further explanation of the invention claimed. The accompanying drawings, which are incorporated in and constitute part of this specification, are included to illustrate and provide a further understanding of the invention.
- The present invention will be more fully understood, and further features will become apparent, when reference is made to the following detailed description and the accompanying drawings. The drawings are merely representative and are not intended to limit the scope of the claims. Like parts depicted in the drawings are referred to by the same reference numerals.

It is to be understood that other embodiments may be utilized and structural changes made, such that the following detailed description is not to be taken in a limiting sense.
-
FIG. 1 illustrates asystem 100 for supplying day care providers with products related to diaper changing. Thesystem 100 includes aholder 10 and adiaper 12 that is secured to theholder 10. Thesystem 100 further includes asurface disinfectant 14 that is secured to theholder 10. As used herein, “secured” means containing, constraining, enclosing, holding, compressing, contacting or supporting within, upon and/or against the holder by any method. - Although
FIG. 1 illustrates that a box may be used asholder 10, it should be noted that any type of container or storage device may used insystem 100. Some other example containers, or holders, include cans, jars, racks, bags, pouches, cubbies, shelves, drawers, dispensers, spindles, cores, cupboards, closets, clips, cabinets, crates, trunks, totes and/or tubs (among others). - The
holder 10 may be disposable or reusable and may be plain or decorated in some manner. In addition, theholder 10 may be used as a shipping container or to perform some other function. - Any type of
diaper 12 may be used insystem 100 or any of the systems described herein. Some example diapers include newborn diapers, premature baby diapers, overnight diapers and diapers of various other sizes. Other example diapers include specialized diapers, such as diapers for urine absorption, feces absorption, blood absorption, sweat absorption, menses absorption and diapers that apply a lotion or medication. The diapers may also be swim pants, training pants, diaper pants (PULLUPS®, EASY UPS®, GOODNIGHTS®) and absorbent underpants (among others). - In some example embodiments,
diaper 12 may be a low absorbency diaper that can be used instead of a thicker more absorbent diaper. The low absorbency diaper may be used in part because day care providers are required to change diapers every so often without regard to how much waste is actually contained within the diapers. In addition, using a thinner low absorbency diaper insystem 100 may be desirable in order to minimize the space that is necessary to store the large quantity of diapers which are typically used by day care providers. - As used herein, a surface disinfectant is something that disinfects surfaces as opposed to skin. The
surface disinfectant 14 may have anti-viral activity or anti-viral activity in combination with anti-microbial, anti-sporicidal, anti-parasitical and/or anti-fungal activity. Thesurface disinfectant 14 may be any type of surface disinfectant known now or discovered in the future. In addition, thesurface disinfectant 14 may include an individual packet, bag or container of surface disinfectant. - In some embodiments, the
surface disinfectant 14 may be used to disinfect changing surfaces (hard or soft). Some example surface disinfectants include sprays, soaps, aerosols, pumps, dispensers (e.g. non-contact dispensers). Thesurface disinfectant 14 may also placed onto some type of medium (e.g., a wipe). - One example active ingredient that may be used in
surface disinfectant 14 is hypochlorite (i.e., bleach), which is anti-bacterial, anti-viral and anti-fungal. Some other example active ingredients that may be used insurface disinfectant 14 are Chlorohehexidine and/or Iodine/Iodophors, which are each anti-bacterial, anti-viral and anti-fungal. Another example active ingredient is hydrogen peroxide combined with an iodophors or a quaternarium ammonium material such that the combination is anti-bacterial, anti-viral, anti-fungal and anti-sporicidal. Still another example active ingredient that may be used in surface disinfectants are phenols (e.g., O-phenylphenol, cresols and pine oil among others), which are anti-bacterial, anti-viral and anti-fungal. - It should be noted that the active ingredients in the
surface disinfectant 14 may be any type of active ingredient as long as the surface disinfect 14 has anti-viral activity or anti-viral activity in combination with anti-microbial, anti-sporicidal, anti-parasitical and/or anti-fungal activity. Other example active ingredients that may be used insurface disinfectant 14 are quaternium ammonium (QA) compounds (e.g., alkyl aryl QA, benzyl QA, dimethyl QA, ethyl benzyl QA, Octyl QA, Silane QA), which are anti-bacterial and anti-viral. Still other example active ingredients that may be used in surface disinfectants are aldehydes (e.g., formaldehyde and/or glutaraldehyde), which are anti-bacterial, anti-viral, anti-fungal, anti-sporicidal and anti-parasitical. In some embodiments, the active ingredient in thesurface disinfectant 14 may be a combination of anionic and organic acids (e.g., sodium lauryl sulfate and citric acid), which are anti-bacterial and anti-viral. - In some embodiments, the
system 100 may further include a child cleaning wipe 16. It should be noted that the wipe 16 may be any type of wipe. Some example wipes include wet wipes, pre-moistened wipes, dry wipes, tissues, hand towels, paper towels, toilet paper, and wipes on a roll. In some forms of thesystem 100, the child cleaning wipe 16 may be stored in an individual packet, or container, in order to avoid cross contamination when multiple diaper changes are performed by the day care. - The
system 100 may further include ahand sanitizer 17 that sterilizes skin. Thehand sanitizer 17 may be in the form of an individual packet, bag or container of hand sanitizer. Some example hand sanitizers include sprays, soaps, aerosols, wipes, pumps and dispensers. Thehand sanitizer 17 may be used to clean and sterilize an individual's hands before and after the individual performs a diaper change. - The
system 100 may further include a changingpad 18, adisposal bag 20, a pair ofshoe coverings 22, alotion 24 and/or a pair ofgloves 26. It should be noted any combination or sub-combination of adiaper 12,surface disinfectant 14, child cleaning wipe 16,hand sanitizer 17, changingpad 18,disposal bag 20, pair ofshoe coverings 22,lotion 24 and pair ofgloves 26 may be included insystem 100. - In the example embodiment shown in
FIG. 1 ,diaper 12,surface disinfectant 14, wipe 16,hand sanitizer 17, changingpad 18,disposal bag 20, pair ofshoe coverings 22,lotion 24 and pair ofgloves 26 are shown schematically as various different shapes (i.e., square, oval, circle, diamond, rectangle, triangle, star, ellipse and thinner rectangle respectively). It should be noted that these items may take any actual form. In addition, one or more of the items may be placed within a packet, bag, container and/or box (among other storage devices) before being secured toholder 10. - Changing
pad 18 may be of any size, shape or material. In addition, changingpad 18 may be rolled, folded or secured in any manner toholder 10. The changingpad 18 may be single or multi-layer. In some example embodiments, the changingpad 18 may include a hydrophobic layer to resist liquid strikethrough and/or a hydrophillic layer that is capable of absorbing fluids (e.g., body fluids). In addition, the changingpad 18 may include a high friction surface that is placed away from the baby to maintain the changingpad 18 in position on a changing table. The changingpad 18 may also be dispensed from a roll and/or a perforated web for easy individualized dispensing. -
Disposal bag 20 may be any type, size, shape or material. Some example disposal bags include plastic disposal bags made from thin flexible materials. In some embodiments, the disposal bag may be designed to neutralize, destroy, trap and/or contain odors. In some forms of thesystem 100,disposal bag 20 may be sized so that every item insystem 100 can be stored indisposal bag 20 for discarding once a diaper change has been completed usingsystem 100. Thedisposal bag 20 may also be used to store one or more of the items in thesystem 100 before thesystem 100 is used to change a diaper. - Any type of shoe covering 22 may be used in
system 10, or any of the systems described herein. Some example shoe coverings include any shoe covering that is typically used in a sanitary environment. Theshoe coverings 22 may be for single use or durable use. Theshoe coverings 22 may be made from one or materials such as synthetic fibers (e.g., polypropylene, polyesters, polyamides and polyolefin).
