Definitions

  • the present invention is related to disposable bibs, and more particularly, to a bib that resists tearing.
  • Disposable bibs are well known in the art. Such bibs can be provided for use on, for example, babies being fed. Disposable bibs can have a laminate construction comprising multiple layers. For instance, disposable bibs can include an absorbent paper topsheet for receiving spilled food material and a plastic film backsheet for preventing penetration of spilled liquids through the bib and onto the baby's clothing.
  • bibs having three layers such as a layer of thermoplastic material between two layers of paper.
  • Other bib designs shown in the art include bibs having a multilayer construction, including a gauze decorative layer, as well as bibs having a front panel formed from plastic film to have grooves and apertures for catching and holding food.
  • the art also teaches that it is known to cover a paper bib with an open net or reticulated material so that the paper is held together.
  • plastic films generally have an inherent tradeoff of strength and flexibility. For example, stronger polymers tend to be less flexible while strength gained by increased thickness also compromises flexibility.
  • adding a protective layer to the back, garment facing surface of the bib does not provide the desired support to the paper topsheet.
  • Adding a protective layer on the outer front surface of the bib does not provide support to the plastic backsheet, can affect the aesthetics of the outer front surface of the bib, and also can interfere with absorption of liquid spills on the outer front surface of the bib.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a disposable bib having a multilayer construction.
  • Yet another object of the present invention is to provide a disposable bib having a polymeric net layer disposed between and joined to a paper topsheet layer and a plastic film backsheet layer.
  • Yet another object of the present invention is to provide a disposable bib having a reinforcing network having openings sized to prevent tearing of the bib while permitting absorption of liquid spills on an outer layer of the bib.
  • Yet another object of the present invention is to provide a disposable bib having an absorbent paper topsheet, a plastic film backsheet, and a reinforcing middle layer comprising a polymeric net, wherein the reinforcing layer has a greater tensile strength than at least one of the topsheet or the backsheet layers to carry pulling loads exerted by the wearer, and wherein the openings in the net are sized to prevent the wearer from tearing off discrete pieces of the topsheet.
  • the present invention provides a disposable bib having a composite construction.
  • the bib can have a absorbent, liquid permeable outer topsheet; a garment facing backsheet layer, the backsheet layer being liquid impermeable relative to the topsheet; and a load carrying filamentary network disposed intermediate the backsheet and the topsheet.
  • the filamentary network layer can be joined to oppositely facing surfaces of the topsheet and backsheet, and can have a plurality of openings there through, wherein the filamentary network can have an open area ratio of at least about 50 percent.
  • the openings in the filamentary network are preferably sized to prevent a baby's finger from passing through the openings in the network, and thereby prevent the baby from tearing small pieces of the bib from the bib body.
  • the bib can comprise a tissue paper topsheet having a first outwardly facing surface and a second oppositely facing surface, and a polymeric net joined to the second surface of the topsheet.
  • the polymeric net can comprise a first plurality of generally parallel filaments extending in a first direction and a second plurality of generally parallel filaments extending in a second direction angled with respect to the first direction.
  • the maximum spacing between adjacent parallel filaments can be no more than about 2 cm, and in one embodiment is no more than about 1 cm to prevent the wearer from inserting his finger between the filaments and tearing off small pieces of the bib.
  • FIG. 1 is a front plan view of the disposable bib of the present invention, with a portion of the topsheet cut away to show a reinforcing filamentary network disposed between the topsheet and the backsheet, wherein the filaments of the filamentary network extend generally longitudinally and laterally.
  • FIG. 2 is a rear plan view of a disposable bib of the present invention, with a portion of the backsheet cut away to show a reinforcing filamentary network disposed between the topsheet and the backsheet, wherein the filaments of the filamentary network extend generally diagonally with respect to the longitudinal direction.
  • FIG. 3 is a partial cross-sectional view taken along lines 3--3 in FIG. 1, and showing the filamentary network disposed between the topsheet and the backsheet.
  • FIG. 4 is an enlarged schematic illustration of a portion of the filamentary network.
  • FIG. 5 is an in use perspective view of a disposable bib.
  • FIGS. 1-5 illustrate a disposable bib 20 according to the present invention.
  • the bib 20 includes a bib body 22 and a pair of shoulder extensions 24 and 26 extending from the bib body 22 on either side of a bib longitudinal centerline 21.
  • the term “longitudinal” refers to a direction or axis which is generally parallel to a line extending from the wearer's head to the wearer's waist as the bib is worn.
  • lateral refers to a direction or axis which is perpendicular to the longitudinal direction and which is generally parallel to a line extending across the wearer's chest as the bib is worn.
  • the bib 20 has a periphery which can include two generally longitudinally extending side edges 32 and 34, a generally laterally extending bottom edge 36, and a neck opening 38.
  • the neck opening 38 is disposed intermediate the shoulder extensions 24 and 26, and accommodates the wearer's neck as the bib is worn.

  • the fastening members 202 and 204 are positioned on the shoulder extensions 24 and 26, and can comprise a plurality of fabric engaging projections 206, which can be in the shape of a prong or hook.
  • the projections 206 extend from the plane of the bib 20.
  • the projections 206 on each of the shoulder extensions 24 and 26 can engage the fabric of the wearer's garment to hold the bib 20 in place.
  • the bib can also include one or more landing surfaces 210 engageable by the projections 206.
  • a landing surface 210 which can comprise a non-woven fabric, is joined to the outer surface 42 of the topsheet 40, and positioned on the shoulder extension 24.
  • the shoulder extension 26 is positioned to overlap the shoulder extension 24 behind the wearer's neck, with the projections 206 on the fastening member 202 engaging the landing surface 210.
  • Suitable fastening members 202 and 204 are manufactured by the 3M Company of Minnesota under the designation MC-6, Code KN0513/KN0514.
  • a suitable landing surface 210 is a non-woven web of polypropylene fibers manufactured by the Veratec Division of the International Paper Corporation of Walpole, Mass.

  • the backsheet 80 can comprise a liquid impervious film.
  • the backsheet 80 can comprise a polyethylene film having a thickness of between about 0.0076 millimeter and about 0.0508 millimeter.
  • a polyethylene film from which the backsheet 80 can be formed is manufactured by Tredegar Industries of Terre Haute, Ind.
  • the filamentary network 60 is joined to the surfaces 44 and 84 of the topsheet 40 and the backsheet 80 by any suitable means, including but not limited to mechanical bonding, adhesive bonding, and ultrasonic bonding.
  • the filamentary network 60 is preferably joined to the surfaces 44 and 84 along substantially the entire longitudinal length and across substantially the entire lateral width of the bib 20.
  • a suitable adhesive for joining the filamentary network 60 to the topsheet 40 and the backsheet 80 is a hot melt adhesive such as Findley Adhesive H2031 available from Findley Adhesives of Elmgrove, Wis. About 3 milligrams of the H2031 adhesive per square inch of bib area can be used to join the filamentary network 60 to the topsheet 40 and the backsheet 80.
  • the filamentary network 60 increases the tensile strength of the bib 20, to thereby provide the bib with tear resistance.
  • the filamentary network 60 can have a maximum tensile strength (the tensile strength measured in the direction along which the tensile strength of the filamentary network 60 is maximum) greater than that of either the of topsheet 40 or the backsheet 80.
  • the tensile strength can be measured using a constant rate of elongation tensile test machine, as described below.
  • Different net materials such as different polymeric materials, can be chosen to provide the bib with different strength, elongation, and flexibility properties. Generally, higher levels of strength result in lower levels of flexibility.
  • the cross-sectional dimension of the filaments and the spacing between adjacent filaments can be selected depending upon the strength and flexibility of the material from which the filaments are made. For materials having a relatively high strength and a relatively low flexibility, filaments with a relatively small cross-sectional dimension can be used, and the spacing between adjacent filaments can be relatively large. For materials having a relatively low strength and a relatively high flexibility, filaments with relatively large cross-sectional dimensions can be used, and the spacing between adjacent filaments can be relatively small.
  • the openings 70 between adjacent filaments of the filamentary network 60 are sized to prevent infant wearers from grasping unreinforced areas of the topsheet 40 overlying the openings 70 and tearing such unreinforced areas of the topsheet 40 from the bib.
  • the openings 70 preferably can be sized to be smaller than the fingertip of a wearer to prevent the wearer from poking a finger through the topsheet 40. Accordingly, the openings 70 can have a maximum width 74 (FIG. 4) of no more than about 2 centimeters. In one preferred embodiment, the openings 70 can have a maximum width 74 which is no more than about 1 cm, preferably no more than about 0.5 cm, and most preferably no more than about 0.25 cm.
  • the filamentary network preferably provides tear resistance without substantially increasing the stiffness of the bib 20, without substantially affecting the ability of the topsheet 40 to absorb spilled food material, and without substantially increasing the amount of material required to construct the bib.
  • Some materials, such as thermoplastic materials exhibit both relatively high strength and relatively high flexibility.
  • the filaments can have a relatively small cross-sectional dimension 72 (FIG. 4).
  • the cross-sectional dimension 72 can be less than about 2 mm, and in one embodiment, the cross-sectional dimension 72 can be less than about 0.25 mm, thereby providing the filamentary network 60 with a relatively large open area ratio.
  • the open area ratio increases with increasing spacing between adjacent filaments, and the open area ratio decreases as the cross-sectional dimension 72 of the filaments increases.
  • the open area ratio of the filamentary network 60 is calculated by measuring the area of openings 70 in a 10 centimeter by 10 centimeter square sample of the filamentary network 60, and dividing the area of the openings 70 in the sample by the sample size (100 square centimeters). For the range of widths 74 and dimension 72 listed above, the open area ratio of the filamentary network 60 can be at least about 50 percent, and in one embodiment is at least about 75 percent.
  • the filamentary network 60 can comprise a net of thermoplastic material, wherein the thermoplastic material is selected from a group including polyethylene, polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride, polyvinyl acetate, nylon, polyesters, polyethylene vinyl acetate, polyethylene methyl methacrylate, polyethylene acrylic acid, polypropylene methylmethacrylate, polypropylene acrylic, acid, polyvinyliliene chloride, polyvinyl alcohol, cellulose acetate, cellulose butyrate, polycarbonates, and alkyd cellulosics, wherein the aforementioned thermoplastic polymers are considered to be illustrative but not limiting.
  • the filamentary network can comprise a web made from natural fibers, synthetic fibers, or combinations thereof.
  • Suitable natural fibers include, but are not limited to, cotton, flax, wool, and silk.

  • the filamentary network 60 which is schematically illustrated in FIG. 4, can be formed by a number of suitable techniques, including but not limited to casting, molding, weaving, and knitting. Each filament 62 and 64 can comprise a single strand, or two or more strands twisted together.
  • Essentials of Textiles, Third Edition by Marjory L. Joseph, (1984) page 237 describes net construction, and is hereby incorporated by reference.
  • the filamentary network 60 can comprise a knitted nylon net comprising the first plurality of generally parallel filaments 62 extending in a first direction and the second plurality of generally parallel filaments 64 extending in a second direction angled with respect to the first direction.
  • Each of the filaments 62 and 64 comprises two nylon strands.

  • the maximum width 74 of the openings 70 is between about 0.05 cm and about 0.20 cm.
  • Adjacent filaments of the first plurality of generally parallel filaments 62 are spaced apart to provide between about 6 and about 14 filaments 62 per centimeter, and adjacent filaments of the second plurality of generally parallel filaments 64 are spaced apart to provide between about 6 and about 14 filaments 64 per centimeter, such that the nylon net has between about 25 and about 200 openings 70 per square cm.

  • the filamentary network 60 can comprise filaments arranged in a non-uniform manner.
  • the following procedures are used to measure the tensile strength, flexural rigidity, and impact resistance of a sample of a base bib having a topsheet and backsheet.
  • the same procedures are used to measured the comparable properties of a sample of a bib of the present invention having the same topsheet and backsheet construction as the base bib, but also incorporating a nylon net between the topsheet and backsheet.
  • the topsheet comprises a Bounty brand paper towel
  • the backsheet comprises a polyethylene film having a thickness of about 0.025 mm.
  • the filamentary network 60 comprises the nylon net described above available from Fabri-Centers of America as SKU 040-1703.
  • the base bib and the bib having the nylon net according to the present invention about 3 milligrams of the H2031 adhesive per square inch of bib area is used between the topsheet and the backsheet to join the bib components together.
  • the filaments 62 and 64 are oriented diagonally at about a 45 degree angle to the longitudinal axis 21, as shown in FIG. 2.
  • Bib samples are conditioned at 50% RH and 73° F. for at least 2 hours before testing.
  • Bib samples are cut into 1.00 inch wide sample strips. The samples are placed squarely in the jaws of an Instron Model 4201 constant rate of elongation tensile tester. One inch, line-contact grips are used to avoid any sample slippage. The samples are pretensioned to zero load at a 1.0 inch gauge length. Force is measured with a 100 N load cell and recorded continuously as the sample is elongated at a crosshead speed of 12.0 inches per minute to complete failure. In all cases a local maxima occurs in the first inch of elongation.
  • This initial peak is referred to as the tensile strength of the bib. This peak typically coincides with the failure of the topsheet or filamentary network, if present. In some cases, the load on the polyethylene film just before the polyethylene film breaks exceeds the initial peak. The strength values recorded are reported in grams per 1 inch wide strip (grams/inch). Properties are reported as an average of at least two measurements.
  • Results of tensile testing of the base bib and the bib having a nylon net oriented as shown in FIG. 2 are listed in Table 1. Properties are reported for samples cut from a bib such that the sample gauge length is generally perpendicular to the bib axis 21 (gauge length angled 45 degrees with respect to filaments in the bib having a nylon net), and also for samples cut to have a gauge length angled about 45 degrees with respect to with the bib axis 21 (gauge length aligned parallel and perpendicular to filaments in the bib having a nylon net).
  • the results in Table 1 show that the tensile strength of the laminate bib having a nylon net exceeds the tensile strength of the base bib.
  • the laminate bib according to the present invention can have a tensile strength greater than about 2000 grams/inch, more particularly, greater than about 2500 grams/inch, and in the embodiment tested, greater than about 3000 grams/inch.
  • Impact resistance provides a measure of a bib's resistance to puncturing.
  • Impact resistance of a bib sample is measured by dropping a projectile having a known weight from a known distance to impact upon a circular sample of the bib.
  • a bib sample is positioned, then tightly clamped in an annular pneumatic grip having an internal diameter of 3.0 inches to form a 3 inch diameter bib sample supported at its edges by the pneumatic grip.
  • a projectile having a specified mass and shape is allowed to fall freely onto the center of the 3.0 inch diameter bib sample from a height of 15.0 inches, where the 15.0 inch distance is measured from the sample surface to the center of mass of the projectile.
  • the stainless steel projectile weighs 100 g, has a 19 mm diameter spherical end, and has a total length of 67 mm, with the center of mass of the projectile located about half way along its length, so that the rounded tip of the spherical end is about 348 mm from the surface of the sample.
  • Five samples are impacted for the base bib construction and a bib according to the present invention. Each impacted sample is checked for puncture (any visible hole through the entire thickness of the bib.)
  • a bib construction is considered to have an impact resistance equal to one half the mass of the projectile times the square of the velocity of the projectile as it impacts the sample if none of the five impacted samples is punctured by the projectile.
  • each of the five base bib samples is punctured.
  • a bib having a nylon net according to the present invention is tested, none of the five samples is punctured.
  • the velocity of the projectile is calculated using the equations of projectile motion for a drop distance of 15 inch and assuming no air resistance. For a 100 gram mass dropped 15 inches (38.1 cm), the impact resistance is reported as 1.86 million gram-centimeters squared/ second squared, or 186 gram-meters squared/second squared.
  • the bib having a nylon net according to the present invention has an impact resistance of at least about 186 gram-meter squared /second squared.
  • the flexural rigidity of the sample is the cube of this overhang length multiplied by the basis weight of sample.
  • the flexural rigidity is reported in gram-centimeters as an average of at least two measurements.
  • the flexibility of the sample is inversely proportional to the reported flexural rigidity.
  • the flexural rigidity is reported for samples of the bib cut to have a long dimension generally perpendicular to the axis 21 of the bib (long axis angled 45 degrees with respect to filaments in the bib having a nylon net), and for samples of a bib cut to have a long dimension angled about 45 degrees with respect to the axis 21 (long axis parallel and perpendicular to filaments in the bib having a nylon net).
  • the laminate bib of the present invention can have a flexural rigidity which is only slightly greater than that of the base bib, while at the same time providing the above mentioned increase in tensile strength and puncture resistance.
  • the laminate bib according to the present invention can have a flexural rigidity which is less than about 20 g-cm, more particularly, less than about 15 gram-cm, and in the embodiment tested less than about 12 gram-cm. Accordingly, the laminate bib according to the present invention has relatively tensile strength (for providing tear resistance) with a relatively low level of flexural rigidity (for providing softness and comfortable conformability of the bib to the wearer's body).
