Abstract
Disclosed is a disposable absorbent article having an outer shell and a detachable disposable absorbent core insert supported on an inside surface of the outer shell. The core insert is attached to the inside surface and is detachable therefrom. The inside surface further includes a retaining structure for receiving the absorbent core insert, the core insert being attachable with the retaining structure and detachable from the retaining structure.
Claims31
A disposable absorbent article comprising:
- an outer shell;
- a detachable disposable absorbent core insert supported on an inside surface of the outer shell, the core insert being attached to said inside surface and detachable therefrom;
- wherein said inside surface further includes a retaining structure for receiving said core insert, the core insert being attachable with said retaining structure and detachable from said retaining structure;
- wherein the core insert further includes an absorbent material layer disposed between a top layer and a bottom layer;
- and
- wherein the core insert further includes a stand-up leg cuff forming a circular barrier about said core section, said leg cuff including one or more elastic strands.
3 more elements
A disposable absorbent core insert for attaching to an outer shell of disposable absorbent article, comprising:
- a top material layer;
- a bottom material layer;
- an absorbent core material layer disposed between said top and bottom material layers;
- a fastener for attaching the core insert to an inside surface of a reusable outer shell of the absorbent article such that said core insert is detachable therefrom;
- and
- a plurality of spaced apart projections on said bottom material layer of said core insert, said projections engageable with the inside surface to provide air channels between said core insert and said inside surface, wherein cross-directional elastics are employed in said air channels.
3 more elements
A disposable absorbent assembly comprising:
- an outer shell;
- a disposable absorbent core insert detachably engageable with the outer shell, said core insert including a top material layer, a bottom material layer, and an absorbent core material layer disposed between said top and bottom material layers, said absorbent core material layer having an absorbent composition;
- an arrangement of spaced apart fasteners between the core insert and the outer shell, for detachably engaging the core insert with an inside surface of the outer shell, and defining void spaces between said fasteners, said core insert, and said outer shell, the void spaces providing air channels;
- and
- wherein said fasteners and said void spaces are located in a central region of said core insert or outer shell that corresponds to a central crotch region of the absorbent assembly, the fasteners and void spaces being generally centrally located between opposite waist end regions of the outer shell and of the absorbent assembly, and wherein said air channels extend in the lateral direction.

A disposable absorbent assembly comprising:
- an outer shell;
- a disposable absorbent core insert detachably engageable with the outer shell, said core insert including a top material layer, a bottom material layer, and an absorbent core material layer disposed between said top and bottom material layers, said absorbent core material layer having an absorbent composition;
- an arrangement of spaced apart fasteners between the core insert and the outer shell, for detachably engaging the core insert with an inside surface of the outer shell, and defining void spaces between said fasteners, said core insert, and said outer shell, the void spaces providing air channels;
- wherein said fasteners and said void spaces are located in a central region of said core insert or outer shell that corresponds to a central crotch region of the absorbent assembly, the fasteners and void spaces being generally centrally located between opposite waist end regions of the outer shell and of the absorbent assembly;
- and
- wherein cross-directional elastics are employed in said core insert or outer shell and across the fasteners and air channels.
3 more elements
A disposable absorbent assembly comprising:
- an outer shell;
- a disposable absorbent core insert detachably engageable with the outer shell, said core insert including a top material layer, a bottom material layer, and an absorbent core material section disposed between said top and bottom material layers, said absorbent core material section having an absorbent composition;
- an arrangement of spaced apart fasteners between the core insert and the outer shell, for detachably engaging the core insert with an inside surface of the outer shell, and defining void spaces between said fasteners, said core insert, and said outer shell, the void spaces providing air channels;
- wherein said fasteners and said void spaces are located in a central region of said core insert or outer shell that corresponds to a central crotch region of the absorbent assembly, the fasteners and void spaces being generally centrally located between opposite waist end regions of the outer shell and of the absorbent assembly;
- and
- wherein the core insert includes pockets of said absorbent composition in a pattern that form said void spaces and said air channels.
3 more elements
A disposable absorbent core insert for attaching to an outer shell of disposable absorbent article, comprising:
- a top material layer;
- a bottom material layer;
- an absorbent core material layer disposed between said top and bottom material layers;
- a fastener for attaching the core insert to an inside surface of a reusable outer shell of the absorbent article such that said core insert is detachable therefrom;
- wherein said fastener includes a protruding portion on said bottom material layer conformed to detachably engage a receptacle on the outer shell and elastic strands disposed about said protruding portion to partially define said protruding portion.
2 more elements
A disposable absorbent article comprising:
- an outer shell;
- a detachable disposable absorbent core insert supported on an inside surface of the outer shell, the core insert being attached to said inside surface and detachable therefrom;
- and
- wherein said inside surface further includes a retaining structure for receiving said core insert, the core insert being attachable with said retaining structure and detachable from said retaining structure, wherein said retaining structure includes a receptacle retaining the core insert within said outer shell, the core insert being disengageable from said receptacle and from said outer shell, wherein said receptacle includes a clip defining, at least partially, a shape of said receptacle.
