Definitions

  • ABSTRACT A disposable diaper comprising, an absorbent pad assembly having a front surface, a back surface, a pair of side edges, a longitudinally extending central panel, and panel means overlying the front surface of the central panel adjacent its sides.
  • the panel means includes a pair of longitudinally extending outermost panels defining the side edges of the pad assembly.
  • the diaper has a pair of pressure-sensitive tape strips having a first portion secured to the back surface of the outermost panels adjacent the side edges of the pad assembly and a second securement portion ex tending from an end of the first portions adjacent the side edges of the pad assembly for use in securing the diaper about an infant during placement of the diaper,
  • the diaper has release sheet means secured to the pad assembly at a location underlying both of the outermost panels to cover adhesive on the securement portions of the strips.
  • the securement portions of the strips are attached to the release sheet means to retain the outermost pleats in their overlying relationship prior to placement of the diaper.
  • the present invention relates to absorbent articles, and more particularly to disposable diapers.
  • a various assortment of disposable diapers have been proposed for use on infants, some of which have pleated configurations.
  • Parents have preferred that such diapers include preattached tape strips for securing the diapers about the infant, thus eliminating the necessity for keeping separate tape rolls at hand when the diapers are placed.
  • Such tape strips may have an attachment end having an adhesive-bearing surface covered by a release sheet. The release sheets are removed during placement of the diaper, and the attachment ends are utilized to secure the diaperon the infant.
  • a principle feature of the present invention is the provision of a diaper having tape means of simplified construction to facilitate placement of the diaper on an infant.
  • the disposable diaper of the present invention comprises, an absorbent pad assembly having a front surface, a back surface. a pair of side edges, a longitudinally extending central panel, and panel means overlying the front surface of the central panel adjacent its sides.
  • the panel means includes a pair of longitudinally extending outermost panels defining the side edges of the pad assembly.
  • the diaper has a pair of pressuresensitive tape strips having a first portion secured to the back surface of the outermost panels adjacent the side edges of the pad assembly and a second securement portion extending from an end of the first portions adjacent the side edges of the pad assembly for use in securing the diaper about an infant during placement of the diaper.
  • the diaper also has release sheet means secured to the pad assembly at a location underlying both of the outermost panels to cover adhesive on the securement portions of the strips, with the securement portions of the strips being attached to the release sheet means.
  • a feature of the present invention is that the securement portions of the tap strips and the release sheet means retain the outermost pleats in their overlying relationship prior to placement of the diaper.
  • Another feature of the invention is that the securement portions of the tape strips may be readily removed from the release sheet means for use in securing the diaper about the infant.
  • a further feature of the invention is that in some embodiments of the diaper the securement portions are automatically removed from the release sheet means when the pleat means is unfolded for placement of the diaper about the infant.
  • Still another feature of the invention is that the release sheet means is secured to the pad assembly, thus eliminating the necessity for discarding release sheets.
