DE10348995A1 - Disposable diaper/nappy pants, for new-born infants, has a structured waist band contour with a raised back and a recess around the navel, in complementary shapes from a single cut across the material length - Google Patents

Abstract

The disposable diaper/nappy pants (1), especially for new-born infants, has an impermeable outer layer with a waist band (6) and adhesive closure tabs (3). The waist band has removed zones (4,5) to give a structured contour with a raised back and a recess around the navel. The outer layer contains an absorbent intermediate layer.

Description

The present invention relates on an absorbent Disposable items, especially on a pant diaper for newborns according to the generic term of claim 1 and a method for their production according to claim 9th

diapers are in diverse embodiments known. Diapers have become unique on the market Use where the diaper body is made of a moisture-proof outer layer with a waist band, a liquid-permeable inner layer and at least one consisting of an absorbent structure liquid absorbent There is an intermediate layer.

In the EP 0 715 840 describes a disposable diaper in which a front waist section directed against the user's stomach has an extension zone as well as the rear waist section resting against the user's back. These extension zones are designed to improve the fit of the diaper. In such diapers, the elastic extension zones in the front and rear waist areas make the skin stress on the diaper wearer relatively high due to the higher tensions, and irritation of this already sensitive body zone can occur.

In addition, such Diaper in newborns or other particularly sensitive diaper wearers not be used for this reason. Especially the navel area is so sensitive in newborns that pressure on the navel and / or the umbilical cord residue or rubbing from rubbing must be avoided. It is obvious that conventional diapers For this Application are not very suitable.

But also other applications - such as B. Open skin injuries or the like - make use more difficult a normal pant diaper. In these cases the aforementioned problem also occurs with diaper wearers of others Ages, so not only in newborns.

In the DE 299 19 149 U1 describes a diaper that is intended to help solve the belly button problem by incorporating a compress in the area of the front waistband to protect the belly button. Such a belly button protection in the form of a bib is incorporated into a pant diaper in a preferred embodiment and is intended to replace the known umbilical bandages and the like.

This item can be the navel in certain cases protect and enable it to heal, but to treat the navel, the navel must be removed and when combining this bib with a pant diaper the complete diaper must be changed every time the Navel to be treated. Unhindered ventilation of the Nabels is in favor of this solution not possible. Moreover is in no way ensured that the compress is exactly on the Navel remains in place. Should the compress slip, straighten they are more likely to harm them than to make them fit for purpose benefits.

The present invention lies hence the task of making a disposable absorbent article, in particular a pant diaper to create certain parts of the body are openly accessible in the area of the disposable, with other parts of the body specially protected should be, as well as a process for its production.

This task is covered by an item the features of claim 1 and a method according to claim 9 solved. Further particularly advantageous embodiments are the subject of dependent Expectations.

The particular advantages of the object according to the invention are its universal usability, its special suitability for users with particularly worth protecting Body- or skin areas. Another advantage is its certain Limits of easy adaptability to the body or Skin areas as well as in its simple manufacture, which none Compared to conventional manufactured disposable items, especially pant diapers.

A disposable absorbent article is particularly advantageous, especially a pant diaper for newborns, with a diaper body made of a moisture-proof outer layer with a waist band, one liquid-permeable inner layer and at least one consisting of an absorbent structure liquid absorbent Intermediate layer, in which the waistband is at least around the circumference one in height remote area.

Next is an absorbent disposable article from Advantage, its offset in height Area from a section in the navel area of the waistband of the waist There is a diaper, or its height offset Area from a raised section in the back area of the waistband the diaper is made.

A disposable absorbent article is also advantageous, whose height is offset Area both the cutout in the navel area and the raised Batch in the back area of the waistband the diaper includes.

In addition, an absorbent disposable article is advantageous if the height-offset region can be variably positioned on the circumference, it being particularly advantageous if the height-offset region is selected by selecting at least one region from a plurality of perforated regions The circumference of the waist band can be positioned variably.

A is also particularly advantageous absorbent Disposable items if the heights are offset Areas in both the navel and the back area have the same contour have, the contour based on the waistband concave in the navel area and convex in the back area is because such an article with the offset area due to the same contour with a suitably shaped cutting tool can be produced from a diaper run without loss of cut.

With the help of exemplary embodiments the invention will be explained in more detail with reference to the drawings.

It shows

1 a pant diaper according to the invention;

2 an applied pant diaper, shown schematically;

3 a pant diaper with navel cutout; 4 a pant diaper with the back part raised;

5 a pant diaper with a navel cut and a raised back;

6 a pant diaper with freely selectable cut-out areas.

In 1 is schematically a pant diaper 1 shown in their representation of a pant diaper 1 equivalent. A moisture-proof outer layer 2 is in the hip area of the diaper carrier, not shown, by adhesive tape 3 held together, which leads to the panties shape of the web-shaped diaper when opened. In the front area of the pant diaper 1 there is a cutout 4 for the navel, not shown here. In the rear area there is a raised section 5 for better protection of the back of the diaper wearer. The terms "cutout" 4 and "raised lot" 5 are to be understood here so that their shape design is based on the deviation from the shape of the contour of a waistband 6 relates, which in the case of the known diapers according to the prior art essentially has a rectilinear peripheral contour.

In 2 is the pant diaper according to the invention 1 shown in the created state. The same elements are provided with the same reference symbols for easier understanding. A schematically shown body 7 represents the diaper wearer 8th represents whose navel 9 through the neckline 4 is exposed. The raised section 5 protects the back 10 of the diaper wearer 8th , Because of the cutout 4 is sufficient, the desired effect remains even if the diaper slips 1 consist.

3 schematically shows a diaper 1 with a cutout 4 is incorporated for a navel, not shown. The remaining contour remains in this embodiment in the area of the waistband 6 receive. Compared to conventional diapers, in which the front waistband usually runs exactly above the navel and irritates it with pressure and rubbing, the navel of a diaper wearer can be individually cared for at any time using the object of registration. The navel area 4 is recessed so that the navel of the newborn can be treated with bandages and / or pads without additional pressure and / or frictional stress.

In 4 Another embodiment is shown, in which no umbilical cutout is incorporated, but a raised back part 5 is in the waistband area 6 available. This raised back section 5 is shown with crossed hatching. The raised back section 5 primarily serves to increase the protection of the diaper wearer. This additional protection against the effects of cold is particularly beneficial for the protection of sensitive kidneys in newborns. It also better protects the baby's clothing from the droppings that are still very thin at this age. With conventional diapers, such thin liquid droppings are easily distributed on the back of the diaper contour on the back, even if the baby was only newly wrapped up shortly before it was given up.

5 shows an embodiment in which both of the above variants in a diaper 1 are advantageously united. As cross-hatched areas are both the navel cutout 4 as well as the raised back section 5 with this diaper 1 realized. It is understood that the hatched area 4 recessed in this embodiment, that is not actually present. All the advantages already mentioned complement each other here. The particularly favorable manufacturing possibility is to be regarded as an additional advantage. If it is assumed that such diapers are made from tape material, you will get a particularly cheap production without waste if the umbilical cutout 4 corresponds in size and shape to the raised back section. A punching tool or a knife that cuts the diaper material web to separate the respective diaper must be shaped so that through the umbilical cutout 4 one diaper pulled up the back 5 the next diaper is formed, etc. With this production method, no additional cuts have to be made and the material consumption remains unchanged compared to conventionally cut diapers.

In 6 Another embodiment is shown. It is within the scope of the invention, for example, not to define the umbilical recess from the outset during production. Rather, there is the possibility of several places in the circumferential area of the waistband 6 through perforation areas 4 ; 11 die-cut, one or more of which can be removed as needed order one or more cutouts 4 ; 11 to accomplish. This variant has the additional advantage that also for other areas on the body 7 of the diaper wearer 8th Cutouts can be created. In this way, areas other than the navel, such as an artificial intestinal exit, can also be individually kept free for treatment or care.
