Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to improvements for adhesively attaching a dental bib or towel to a patient, the improvements more particularly enabling the use of an optimum nominal area for the adhesive used without adverse effect on the adhesive attachment it achieves.
- FIGS. 1 and 2 respectively are perspective views of a prior art dental bib having adhesive means of a prescribed size for attachment to a patient;
- FIG. 3 is a cross sectional view as taken along line 3--3 of FIG. 2;
- FIGS. 4 and 5 like FIGS. 1 and 2, similarly are respectively front and rear perspective views of an adhesively attached dental bib, but of the within inventive embodiment characterized by an optimum nominally sized adhesive means;
- FIG. 6 is a partial perspective view, on an enlarged scale, depicting the structural features within the reference circle 6 of FIG. 5;
- FIG. 7 is a cross sectional view as taken along line 7--7 of FIG. 6;
- FIG. 8 is an enlarged scale sectional view as taken along line 8--8 of FIG. 7;
- FIG. 9 like FIG. 6 is a partial perspective view, on an enlarged scale, but depicting the structural features within the reference circle 9 of FIG. 5;
- FIG. 10 is a cross sectional view as taken along line 10--10 of FIG. 9.
- FIGS. 1-3 The prior art illustrated in FIGS. 1-3 is a dental bib 10 of a known type having prescribed sized adhesive deposits 12 and 14 in the corner locations illustrated which are exposed upon removal of adhesive-inert release tabs 16 and 18 preparatory to establishing adhesive attachment to a patient (not shown) to enable the bib to serve as a cover against water splatter and the like.
- the prescribed rectangular size of the adhesive deposit to effectively maintain the bib 10 in adhesive attachment to the patient is typically 2-7/8" as measured along the length 20 and 1/2" as measured along the width 22.
- the within inventive bib 24 has a cooperating pair of adhesive deposits at 26 and 28, which provide as much and even greater adhesive attachment as provided by the large-sized adhesive deposits 12 and 14 and yet measure only 1" along its length 30 and 3/4" along its width 32.
- Underlying the present invention is the recognition that according to current practice bib 24 is comprised as a two-ply construction consisting of a water impervious plastic outwardly facing ply 34 and a pulp tissue inwardly facing ply 36 and, most important, that the attachment of the plies to each other is achieved by pressing them together while the plies are fed in face-to-face relation through a pressure nip, wherein as is well-known the chemical constituency of the pulp tissue serves as a binder joining together the two plies.
- embossing the bib 24 in the pressure nip enhances the attachment of the plies to each other and that said embossment can be used to advantage to contribute to an optimum nominally sized patient-attaching adhesive deposit.
- selecting as the bib 24 to be provided with the small sized adhesive deposits 26 and 28 is one confined to a two-ply tissue-plastic film construction embodied with an embossment pattern, generally designated 38, consisting of alternately spaced apart horizontally oriented raised surfaces, individually and collectively designated 40, bounding therebetween correspondingly alternately spaced apart horizontally oriented recesses, individually and collectively designated 42.
- embossment pattern generally designated 38
- the 1" ⁇ 3/4" adhesive deposits 26 and 28 wherein, as best understood from the enlarged scale sectional view of FIG. 10, the adhesive deposited covers the raised surfaces 40 in a nominal extent 48, but is of a significantly optimum increased amount or extent 50 as permitted by the filling of the adhesive of the recesses 42.
