Definitions

  • the invention is in the field of packages for individual absorbent articles.
  • the present invention relates to an individual protective package for an absorbent article, having weakening lines to facilitate opening and having been designed such that the opened package may be used to dispose of a used absorbent article.
  • WO 99/052483 describes an individually packaged absorbent article e.g. a sanitary napkin having one or more lines of perforations allowing the package to be easily and quietly opened (see e.g. p. 1, lines 6-9). The opened package can be used to dispose of a soiled sanitary napkin (see e.g. p. 2, lines 3-5). Multiple embodiments are described, including ones where the package has perforations positioned adjacent to the strong (e.g. welded) seals (see e.g. Fig 10).
  • WO 99/052485 is from the same patent family as WO 99/052483 and is very similar. WO 99/052485 has several more embodiments with regard to placement of perforations.
  • Both WO 99/052483 and WO 99/052485 disclose use of the package for disposal of a used article.
  • a package described in Fig. 10 of WO 99/052483 has a number of problems and disadvantages: a) The package may be taken apart in three pieces (main body and the two sides with seals) thus creating more litter if opened by tearing away both sides (which is one of the recommended ways in WO 99/052483). Multiple pieces of litter have a larger potential of littering the surroundings and complicate handling. b) The waste pouch formed will have more or less imperfectly sealed sides, which leads to the risk that the used absorbent article may contaminate its surroundings. If opened by tearing away the sides, the sides will be fully open and a proper pouch will not be formed.
  • Partial perforations described as certain embodiments (Fig. 13) of WO 99/052485, also result in a package having certain problems and disadvantages: e) The two perforations towards line A (Fig. 13) results in that the pouch formed will have imperfectly sealed sides, which leads to the risk that the used absorbent article may contaminate its surroundings. This may be a significant problem, since the used article may have to be carried by the user for some time in a handbag, a pocket, or similar before it can be properly disposed of. f) The perforations render the unopened package not fully sealed, leading to the risk that the unused absorbent article may become contaminated before use. This may be a significant problem, since single packaged articles are frequently carried around in handbags, pockets and such for extended periods.
  • the invention provides a package for a single absorbent article.
  • the invention provides a package for an absorbent article chosen from a sanitary napkin or a panty liner, the package comprising a sheet having an inner and outer surface, front and rear longitudinal side edges, lateral side edges, the package further comprising a fastening device for releasably securing the inner and outer surfaces of the package in a folded configuration, the package further being adapted for being folded along at least a front and a rear folding line so that the front longitudinal side edge overlap the rear longitudinal side edge, the package in its folded configuration further being provided with seals along the lateral side edges, characterised by that the package further is provided with weakening lines at the seal along the lateral side edges extending from the front longitudinal side edge to the front folding line, thereby facilitating the opening of the package by a user.
  • typically no weakening line is provided at the seal along the lateral side edges extending from the rear longitudinal side edge to the rear folding line.
  • the weakening lines further extend from the front folding line along the lateral side edges in direction of the rear folding line in a distance that is essentially equal to the distance between the front longitudinal side edge and the front folding line, so that the weakening line extends to a position that is essentially below the front longitudinal side edge in the folded configuration, thereby facilitating the opening and allowing the opened package to be used as a waste pouch for a used article.
  • the weakening line makes it possible to use seals of such strength that the package has no risk of opening unintentionally yet is easy to controllably and quietly open without tearing the material.
  • the opened, empty package of the invention will form a pouch for disposing a used absorbent article with no openings in the sides which could allow for the used absorbent article to contaminate the surroundings.
  • the package of the invention is especially easy to open since the weakening lines are designed such that they can be fully torn yet a useful pouch is formed.
  • Another advantage of the invention is that the package will not produce more than one piece of litter regardless of how the weakening lines are opened.
  • the package of the invention has fewer openings in it, resulting in decreased risk of contaminating the contents prior to use.
  • the second embodiment has the same advantages as the first embodiment, but is preferable, since there are even fewer weakening lines in the unopened package open for contamination of the article.
  • “Absorbent article” means a disposable hygiene article such as a sanitary napkin, a menstrual pad, a panty liner, an incontinence pad, a diaper and the like.
  • “Seal” means attachment of two or more surfaces of a package material of such strength that it exceeds the strength of the material, i.e. that when force is applied to the seal, the material is more likely to tear than the seal.
  • “Fastening device” means an attachment of two surfaces of a package material of such strength that it does not exceed the strength of the material, i.e. that when force is applied to the attachment, the fastening device will detach rather than the material tears.
  • “Weakening line” means a local line of weakness in the material allowing a precise predetermination of the location where the material will first tear after being subjected to sufficient mechanical force.
  • Perforation is a form of a weakening line comprising a collection of slits or holes arranged together in a material, such that they form a local line of weakness.
