Definitions
- the present invention aims to overcome the recited drawbacks and has for its object a disposable protective device, for a single use, which is described in greater detail hereafter.
- a protective device 1 according to the present invention, of generally T-shaped configuration, having a widened end 3 and a narrow end 5 bordered by longitudinal edges 7 that are concave at end 3, which is to say over a minor portion of the length of the device, and straight over the rest of the length of the device.
- Device 1 is of thin sheet material to be described in greater detail hereafter and is adapted to be temporarily worn by the user when trying on a garment to see whether it fits. It is to be applied to the bare skin of the user, and to be fitted between the legs of the user, and for this purpose is provided with a relatively long adhesive strip 9 along end 3 and a relatively short adhesive strip 11 along end 5. Adhesive strip 9 is covered by a protective paper 13 and adhesive strip 11 is covered by a protective paper 15, these protective papers being adapted to be peeled off so as to leave exposed the respective adhesive strips for direct application to the skin of the user for as long as the protective device is needed.
- the user will simply peel off the adhesive strips 9 and 11 from her skin, leaving behind no adhesive residue, because the adhesive used has a greater adhesion for the material of the device 1 than for the skin of the user.
- the device 1 is of thin flexible sheet material of very light weight, which is liquid impervious but which has a liquid-absorbent surface adjacent the user, that is, on the same side as adhesive strips 9 and 11 and protective papers 13 and 15, which is to say the side of the device 1 which is visible in the drawing.
- the device 1 is accordingly characterized by a thin flexible very tough sheet of polyolefin 17 which is on the side of the device adapted to be away from the wearer when the device is worn, and a liquid absorptive layer 19 on the same side as the wearer, which is the side visible in the drawing.
- Layer 17 has a thickness between 3 and 15 ⁇ , preferably between 5 and 10 ⁇ . It is imperforate and liquid impervious and can be of polyethylene, but is preferably of an ionomer comprised of relatively short polyethylene chains and granules of polymethacrylate linked with sodium ions, i.e. a sodium-based ethylene-methacrylate copolymer, among which are particularly preferred those DuPont products known as "Surlyn” most particularly "Surlyn 1652".
- the material of layer 17 is thermoplastic and is preferably formed into the required thin film by melt extrusion.
- layer 19 a spun web of fibers of polypropylene or polyester, preferably polypropylene, whose fibers have been hot calendered and thus thermobonded together.
- Layer 19 has a weight of 10 to 30 g/m2, preferably about 20 g/m2.
- the fibers have a diameter of 5 to 20 ⁇ , preferably 10 to 15 ⁇ .
- layer 19 is of polypropylene or polyester, it is nevertheless hydrophilic, because of the small diameter of its fibers.
- thermobonded calendered spun fiber layer 19 is laid on layer 17 just after the melt extrusion of layer 17, when layer 17 has a temperature from 260 to 300°C.
- the composite material thus produced can then be rolled up into a roll, which provides sufficient pressure between the layers 17 and 19 to bond them together.
- the composite of layers 17 and 19 can be calendered between rolls, just as was the spun fiber layer 19 itself.
- the layers 9 and 11 of adhesive can then be applied on the spun fiber side of the composite, and for this purpose any pressure-sensitive adhesive suitable to adhere releasably to human skin is usable, e.g. 3M's MSX 678 PSL HL 10150012.
- a suitable adhesive has greater adhesion for device 1 than for human skin and so leaves no residue on the skin upon removal.
- the papers 13 and 15 are then applied, which have on the side contacting the adhesive a release layer of silicone resin which has greater adhesion for the paper than for the adhesive.
- this protective device is extremely simple. It is placed between the legs with the wider end 3 in front and the layer 19 against the bare skin of the user. Preferably, of course, the papers 13 and 15 are removed only one at a time and the freshly-exposed adhesive is applied first to one side of the user's body and then to the other. Layer 9 should be applied horizontally at the base of the user's stomach and layer 11 at the rear of the body, adjacent the coccyx.
- the device is very cheap, whereby the device can be given free to users at the point of sale of clothing. Automatic distributors of these devices can even be provided.
- the device can obviously bear advertising, particularly the trademarks of clothing.
- the device can be translucent or opaque and can also be colored, preferably with a skin color, so as not to change the apparent color of a garment which is tried on over the device.
- the device is thus able to absorb a few drops of moisture and does not adhere to the skin except where adhesive is provided for this purpose and so has a smooth and pleasant feel against the skin.
