Patent Nov. 18, 1975
  • the present invention relates to absorbent articles, and more particularly to disposable diapers.
  • Many of the present disposable diapers have tape strips located adjacent one end of the diapers.
  • the diapers are normally placed on the infant by laying the infant on the diaper with the strip bearing part of the diaper being located beneath the back waistline of the infant.
  • attachment portions of the strips are brought around the infants legs, and anchored to the front portion of the diaper.
  • the attachment portions of the strips are frequently secured at a location on the front portion of the diaper which is spaced somewhat from the front end edge or waistline of the diaper.
  • the tape strips Since the permanently anchored portions of the strips are usually located adjacent the back end edge of the diaper, after placement of the diaper the tape strips apply tension to the back waistline of the diaper and thus may maintain a relatively close fit of the diaper against the back waistline of the infant. In contrast, the
  • attachment portions of the strips are often spaced from the front waistline of the diaper, and significant tension is not applied by the strips against the diaper front waistline.
  • the front waistline of the diaper is thus permitted to gap away from the infant, increasing the possibility of urine leakage in this area of the diaper, in
  • the front waistline of the diaper is normally more susceptible to urine leakage than the back waistline, sinceit is closer to the site of urine deposition on the diaper.
  • infants are generally inclined to spend more time on their stomachs than their backs, causing gravity to drive urine in the diaper with greater frequency toward the front waistline.
  • the .diaper ends are normally susceptible to leakage where it 1 should most be prevented.
  • a principal feature of the present invention is the provision of a disposable diaper of simplified construction which provides an improved fit and minimizes leakage at an end of the diaper.
  • the disposable diaper of the present invention comprises, an absorbent pad assembly having a front sur-
  • a further feature of the invention is that the constrained waistline portions provide a comfortable fit of the diaper on the infant.
  • the elastic means may be connected adjacent one side edge of the diaper.
  • Still another feature of the invention is that in another embodiment the elastic means is connectable intermediate opposed side edges of the diaper.
  • a feature of the invention is that the elastic means is adjustable to provide a desired amount of tension to the waistline portions of the diaper.
  • Another feature of the invention is the provision of elastic tape means to provide a snug fit of the diaper about the infant.
  • Yet another feature of the invention is the provision of tape means having one end portion which is releasably attached to the back surface of another end portion.
  • FIG. 1 is a fragmentary front plan view of one embodiment of the diaper of the present invention.
  • FIG. 3 is a fragmentary front plan view of another embodiment of the diaper of the present invention.
  • FIG. 4 is a fragmentary front plan view of another embodiment of the diaper of the present invention.
  • FIG. 5 is a fragmentary plan view of elastic means in the diaper of FIG. 4 as it is being secured together;
  • FIG. 6 is a fragmentary perspective view of a tape fastener of the present invention for use on a diaper
  • FIG. 8 is a fragmentary plan view showing the tape fastener of FIG. 6 as utilized to secure the diaper about an infant.
  • FIGS. 1 and 2 there is shown a disposable diaper generally designated 20 having an absorbent pad assembly 22.
  • the pad assembly has a fluid impervious backing sheet 24 defining a back surface 26 of the pad assembly, a fluid pervious cover sheet 28 defining a substantial portion of a front surface 30 of the pad assembly, an absorbent pad 32 intermediate the backing and cover sheets 24 and 28, a pair of side edges 34a and 34b, and a pair of end edges 36a and 36b connecting the side edges 34a and b.
  • the diaper or pad assembly also has a pair of waistline portions 38a and 38b adjacent the end edges 36a and b, and a crotch portion 40 intermediate the waistline portions 38a and b.
  • the pad assembly 22 may be folded into a boxpleat configuration, if desired, along a plurality of longitudinally extending folds, with the pleated pad assembly defining a longitudinally extending central panel 42, a pair of first panels 44a and 44b extending from and overlying the front surface 30 of the central panel 42, and a pair of oute r iilb st panels 46a and 46b extending from and overlyillfi the first panels 443 and b.
  • the loop 50 has one end 52 secured to the waistline portion 380 adjacent the side edge 34b by a tape strip 54 which passes through the one end 52 of the loop 50, with the tape strip 54 being secured to the surfaces of the diaper adjacent the side edge to retain the end of the loop in place.
  • the loop 50 also has a remote free end 56, and courses of the loop may be secured together intermediate the ends of the loop by any suitable means, if desired.
  • a tape strip 58 is attached to the waistline portion 38a adjacent the other side edge 34a, the tape strip 58 having a securement portion 60 extending outwardly past the side edge 34a which is releasably covered by a release sheet 62.
  • Separate tape strips 64a and 64b may also be secured to the waistline portion 38a adjacent the opposed side edges 34a and b, with securement portions 66a and 66b extending past the side edges 34a and b, respectively, the securement portions being releasably covered by release sheets 68a and 68b.

  • the diaper In use, the diaper is unfolded and placed on the infant, with the diaper generally forming the configuration illustrated in FIG. 2.
  • the release sheets 68a and b are removed from the securement portions 66a and b of the tape strips 64a and b, and the securement portions 66a and b are then secured to the back surface 26 of the waistline portion 38b to retain the diaper in place on the infant.
  • the release sheet 62 is removed from the securement portion 60 of the tape strip 58, the elastic loop 50 is expanded around the back surface of the waistline portion 38b, and the securement portion 60 is passed through the free end 56 of the loop 50.
  • the securement portion may then be attached to inner portions of the tape strip 58 or the diaper itself, such that the free end 56 of the loop is captured by the securement portion 60 of the tape strip 58.
  • the expanded elastic loop 50 is retained in place by the strips .54 and 58 around the back surface 26 of the waistline portion 38b, and the loop 50 applies tension to the waistline portions of the diaper.
  • the amount of tension applied by the elastic loop 50 may be controlled by suitable adjustment of the securement portion 60 of the tape strip 58 when it is passed through the free end 56 of the elastic loop and secured in place.
  • the length of the elastic loop 50 may be selected according to the general size of infants who will wear the particular diaper.
  • the tension applied by the band means or loop 50 causes a snug fit of the waistline portions against the infants skin to provide added comfort to the infant. Additionally, the elastic or band means 48 prevents gapping away of the waistline portion 38b from the infants skin and minimizes leakage from the end of the diaper.
  • FIG. 3 Another embodiment of the diaper of the present invention is illustrated in FIG. 3, in which like reference numerals designate like parts.
  • the tape strips 64a and b have been omitted, and the band means 48 itself is utilized to retain the diaper in place on the infant by securement of the tape strip 58 through the free end 56 of the elastic loop 50, as previously described.
  • the expanded band means 48 in the placed diaper retains the waistline portions of the diaper in their proper location on the infant.
  • the width of the tape strips 54 and 58 may be wider than the side-by-side tape strips illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2, if desired.
  • FIGS. 4 and 5 Another embodiment of the diaper of the present invention is illustrated in FIGS. 4 and 5, in which like reference numerals designate like parts.
  • one end 52 of the elastic loop 50 is secured to the waistline portion 38a adjacent the side edge 34b by a tape strip 54, as previously described.
  • the band means 48 has a second loop 50 having one end 52' secured to the waistline portion 380 adjacent the other side edge 34a by a tape strip 54, the loop 50 having a remote free end 56.
  • the first loop 50 has means for securing the free end 56 of the loop 50 to free end 56 of the loop 50.
  • the securing means 70 may be any suitable structure, such as the tape strip 72 shown.
  • the tape strip 72 has one end 74 secured to the free end 56 of the loop 50, and an attachment end 76 having adhesive releasably covered by a release sheet 78.
  • the release sheet 78 may be omitted, and the attachment end 76 may be brought around the back surface of the attachment end 76 through the free end 56 of the loop 50, such that the attachment end 76 may be releasably attached to the back surface of the tape strip 72 itself.
  • the release sheet 78 is removed from the attachment end 76 of the tape' strip 72, and the attachment end 76 is passed through the free end 56' of the loop 50', as shown in FIG. 5.
