Applicationlvlarch 6, 1947; SerialvN'o. 732,811# i 1r claim. (ci. 12s-284.)
My invention refers to diapers especially adapted for bed wetting children.
The primary object of my invention is to provide a simple inexpensive pad carrying harness to be adjusted to the waist and crotch of a child having a belt and an attached pliable tapered -pad folded and secured to form a double walled pocket whereby the organs of a child are fully covered.
It should be understood that the diaper is particularly applicable to the male sex although it may be successfully applied to the female sex as well.
With the above and other objects in View, which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention resides in the novel construction, combination and arrangement of parts, substantially as hereinafter described, and more particularly defined by the appended claim, it being understood that such changes in the precise embodiment of the herein disclosed invention may be made as come within the scope of the claim.
f In the accompanying drawings is illustrated one complete example of the physical embodiment of the present invention constructed according to the best mode so far devised for the practical application of the principles thereof.
In the drawings:
Figure 1 represents a perspective view of a skeleton diaper carrying a tapered pad embodying the features of my invention.
Figure 2 is an enlarged fragmentary inner face view of the pad with parts broken away and other parts in section to more clearly illustrate structural features, the said view being generally indicated byline 2 2 of Figure 3.
Figure 3 is a longitudinal sectional view of the pad and associated parts, the section being indicated by line 3 3 of Figure 2.
Figure 4 is a cross section of the same, the section being indicated by line 4 4 of Figure 2.
Figure 5 is another cross section of said pad, the section being indicated by line 5 5 of Figure 2.
Figure 6 is a diagrammatic face view of a blank sheet from which the pad is formed.
Referring by characters to the drawings, l 'indicates a non-flexible front strip comprising part of a flexible belt 2.
Secured to the strip I is the wide end of a wedge shaped or tapered pad 3, the lower narrow end of the pad being secured to the rear portion of the belt by spaced flexible straps 4 4', whereby the skeleton pad may be quickly adjusted to the waist and crotch of an infant.
The pad is formed from a single sheet, which sheet is shaped in the form of double cone frustum or tapered downwardly in both directions from a center line, indicated at a, it being understood that the edges of the blank are all suitably hemmed as indicated by the dotted line b. The blank so hemmed is folded upon itself at the wide center a and thereafter the tapered sides are folded inwardly to form open mouth pockets 5 5 from the narrow end to the wide end of said pad.
In order to obtain the curved effect of the pad, the inwardly folded material is transversely creased to form pleats 6 6, which pleats flare towards the inner edge of the pocket folds, the same being suitably secured by stitching.
By thus pleating the edges of the folds or pockets 5, a, diamond shaped opening at the flared front portion of the pad is developed, which opening exposes the double wall 1. The double wall forms the back faces of the longitudinally disposed pockets. The lower transverse edge of the narrow end of the pad is folded inwardly and secured by stitching 8, which line of stitching also secures the end of the flexible straps 4 4.
As shown in Figs. 2 and 6 of the drawings, the longitudinal meeting edges of the folds are also secured by stitching up to the lower point of the pocket 5 and said folds are transversely pleated, whereby the face of said folds are given a curvature to conform to the body, and due to the shortening of the stitched pleats, the outer wall 1 develops a fullness or sag. Thus a smooth surface, with reference to the folds, is obtained for the comfort of the infant. Furthermore, it will be noted that the longitudinal central stitching between the bottom of the diaper and lower point of the opening forms a sack for the accumulation of moisture. It is understood that the upper wide end of said pad is secured to the strip I by a transversely disposed line of stitching 9. The completed article thus forms a diaper which snugly ts the crotch and the organs of the child are nested within the bow shaped elongated opening.
Hence, urine discharged will be deflected and trapped within the pockets to insure against any wetting of the bed and if desired, absorbent material pads A are inserted in the pocket under all conditions.
Referring again to Figure 6 of the drawings, the pleats 6 6 are indicated in dotted lines as well as the in-folded edges 5 5 to more clearly illustrate the mode of folding the sheet and fully forming it into a pad.
While I have minutely described one exemplication of my invention, it is understood that I may vary the same within the scope of the claim.
I claim:
A diaper holder comprising a belt supported body formed from a double ply of waterproof material including an imperforate outer wall, said outer wall gradually tapering from its upper edge toward its lower edge, inturned flaps on the tapering side edges of the outer wall, said aps being spaced apart adjacent to the upper end of the body defining an entrance throat and said ilaps having their inner longitudinal edges in engagement adjacent to the lower end of the body, means securing the upper and lower ends of the` flaps to the outer wall and to a belt, means securing the meeting edges of the flaps together below the throat and adjacent to their lower ends defining with the outer wall a depending REFERENCES CITED The following references are of record in the file of this patent:
