Definitions
- the present invention isdirected to a sanitary napkin or tampon having one or more sheets of such an anti-bacterial plastic material inserted into the core or wadding thereof, or an anti-bacterial agent compounded with a plastic resin and otherwise used in combination with ordinary menses absorbing pads.
- the plastic sheets are perforated or otherwise treated so as to allow the menses to pass therethrough, however causing the menses to contact the perforated sheets thus killing or inhibiting the growth of the bacteria.
- FIG. 1 is a perspective view with parts broken away of a sanitary napkin including the anti-bacterial sheets according to the invention
- FIG. 2 is an enlarged sectional view taken substantially along the line 2-2 in FIG. 1;
- FIG. 3 is a perspective view of one of the antibacterial plastic sheets according to one embodiment of the invention.
- FIG. 4A is an enlarged perspective view showing a portion of the surface of the sheet shown in FIG. 4;
- FIG. 5 is a perspective view of one of the antibacterial sheets according to a third embodimentof the invention.
- FIG. 6 is an enlarged sectional view similar to FIG. 2, showing another embodiment of the invention.
- FIG. 7 is an enlarged sectional view similar to FIG. 2, showing still another embodiment of the invention.
- FIG. 1 shows a sanitary napkin 10, including a relatively thick,- elongated absorbent core 12, comprising primarily a mass of cellulose fibers, enclosed with a liquid pervious wrapper 14 having ends 16 which extend beyond the extremities of the absorbent core, providing the usual attachment means for the napkins.
- one or more perforate sheets 18 of anti-bacterial treated material are inserted into the core 12 and form alternating layers of anti-bacterial material and wadding.
- the outer layer of the core 12 furthest from the body comprises an imperforate sheet 19 of anti-bacterial treated material to prevent leakage and retain the menses within the napkin.
- imperforate sheet 19 may also be large enough to fold up over the edges of the sides or ends of core 12 as shown in FIG. 2. Therefore, the core 12 will comprise an inner layer 20 of wadding, alternating layers of anti-bacterial treated, perforate, plastic sheets 18 and wadding 22, and an outer layer comprising an anti-bacterial treated, imperforate sheet 19.
- the number of layers 18 of anti-bacterial treated plastic may vary or even comprise a single sheet, and may be inserted either very near the inner surface of the core, or further away, the only limiting factor being that the antibacterial treatedsheets must be located near enough to the body contacting surface of core 12 to be effective in their bacteria inhibiting characteristics.
- a single imperforate plastic sheet having anti-bacterial qualities was positioned on the outer surface of the core 12 without any intermediate sheets such as sheet 18.
- Corobex RB which includes as active ingredients about 0.l percent of 2 Ethylhexanol, about 16.0 percent Diisobutyl Phenoxyethoxy ethyldimethylbenxyl Ammonium chloride, and about 14.0 percent Alkyl (C to C Dimethylbenzyl Ammonium Chloride; or a bacteriostatic organotin compound selected from the class of his (tri-n-alkyltin) sulfosalicylates as taught by the Hyman US. Pat. No. 3,279,986.
- the anti-bacterial agent is preferably premixed in concentrated form with a certain amount of specified resin which will provide sufficient anti-bacterial agent, so that when the pre-mix is added to a base resin, the final result will contain antibacterial agent preferably in the range of 0.01 to 1.0 percent, however usable materials have been made containing percentages as high as 30 percent of antibacterial agent.
- the mixture may then be heated and extruded, injection molded, or blown as a thin film, or alternatively extruded as a rod which is subsequently particulated, melted, and re-extruded as a thin film in a manner well known in the plastic art.
- the term molded is used to define a plastic part or article shaped by heat and pressure.
- the result is a mixture of anti-bacterial chemical agent and plastic with the former uniformly dispersed throughout matrix of the latter.
- the antibacterial chemical melts and blends with the plastic but upon cooling the former recrystallizes in the form of a spicular crystal which interlaces the molecular structure of the plastic.
- the film may be extruded and/or calendared to any desired thickness, preferably 0.0005 to 0.005. If the film is to be later embossed, a preferred thickness might be in the range of 0.001 to 0.003 inches.
- the film may then be fed to a pair of embossing and/or perforating rolls which either impart to the film a desired hole pattern and/or a textured surface having a channelling effect to be hereinafter described.
- Embossed sheets may be cut from the roll stock by passing between cutting rolls of the proper circumference with cutting bars properly spaced to register the cuts with the embossed pattern.
- the completed sheet thickness ranges from 0.002 to 0.006 inches or from 0.003 to 0.008 inches.
- the anti-bacterial agent applied according to US. Pat. No. 2,919,200 tends to migrate to both the front and back surfaces of the plastic sheets and, upon contact with any bacteria adjacent thereto, either kills outright or greatly inhibits their growth.
- the plastic sheets act as a reservoir for the hexachlorophene or Actamer, so that when the surfaces of the plastic sheet become deficient in the amount of anti-bacterial agent thereon, the reservoir of anti-bacterial agent releases a sufficient amount of the agent to replenish the surface.
- the bacteria retarding or destructive effect of the improved napkin occurs simultaneously in two ways. First, menses flows along the surface of the plastic sheet contacting the anti-bacterial agent, then down through the perforations to the wadding below, where it may contact other treated plastic sheets. Secondly, as the wadding or core bocomes moist from normal body perspiration or the menses, the soluble anti-bacterial agent in the presence of moisture is drawn by hygroscopic action up into the wadding itself, providing a further surface area of anti-bacterial agent for contact with the menses.
- the anti-bacterial plastic sheet is perforated to allow the menses to pass therethrough, although contacting it sufficiently to effectively inhibit the growth of bacteria.
- Plastic sheets 18 may be in the form of a perforated sheet having a regular hole pattern therein, or they may preferably take the form of plastic sheets 30, each having perforations 32, 34 and 36 of varying sizes. In such a case, the smaller perforations 32 are located near the central area of the sheet and gradually increase in size nearer the edge and ends of the sheet.
- the perforations 32, 34, and 36 in the otherwise impervious sheet effectively cause the menses to spread toward the edges of sheet 30 rather than allowing it to collect near the center as is the usual case. Since the holes are larger near the edge, more of the menses will pass through in the edge area than in the central area in contrast to a napkin or pad of standard construction having no distributory characteristics.
- FIGS. 4 and 4A An alternate embodiment of one of the plastic sheets is shown in FIGS. 4 and 4A, wherein the anti-bacterial sheet 40 is embossed to provide longitudinal channels 42 and transverse channels 44.
- Channels 42 and 44 include perforations 46 which allow the menses to pass through sheet 40, and channels 42 and 44 urge the menses outwardly toward the edges of sheet 40 for a more even distribution.
- Perforations 46 may also preferably increase in size toward the edges of the plastic sheet.
- the embossing makes the sheet more flexible and thus, more comfortable.
- FIG. 5 Another embodiment of the plastic sheets is shown in FIG. 5, wherein the anti-bacterial sheet 50 is embossed to provide a central area 51 having channels 52 extending toward the corners and channels 54 extending toward the edges of sheets 50.
- the central area 51 and channels 52 and 54 include perforations 56, which also may increase in size and/or numbers toward the corners and edges of sheet 50.
- the side walls 58 and 60 of channels 52 and 54 may diverge as they approach the corners and edges.
- Another possible embodiment using the antibacterial agent is to combine the bacterial agent in a crystalline form with polyolefin or other plastic resins. The mixture is then heated and extruded as a fiber which may be interspersedin the wadding 12' as shown in FIG. 6.
- the anti-bacterial fibers may alternatively be spun into yarn for making a fabric as a textile for use as a napkin cover 14" as shown in FIG. 7. In either case, it might not be necessary to insert the antibacterial plastic sheets 18 within the wadding or core 12 of the napkin. In cases where the anti-bacterial agent is incorporated into a fiber or yarn, the entire surface area is available for anti-bacterial action.
