Layered absorbent structure for neutralizing odour and absorbing liquid in inanimate places and a method of containment of odour and liquid in inanimate places using the same

A layered absorbent structure, particularly suitable for neutralizing odour and absorbing liquid in inanimate places, comprising a first layer and a second layer of fibrous material and a discontinuous intermediate layer between said first layer and said second layer of fibrous material, said discontinuous intermediate layer comprising carbon material and a water absorbing means, said discontinuous intermediate layer defining areas which are separated by bonding areas where said first layer and said second layer of fibrous material are bonded together.

A layered absorbent structure, particularly suitable for neutralizing odour and absorbing liquid in inanimate places, comprising a first layer and a second layer of fibrous material and a discontinuous intermediate layer between said first layer and said second layer of fibrous material, said discontinuous intermediate layer comprising an odour control means and a water absorbing means, said discontinuous intermediate layer defining areas separated by bonding areas where said first layer and said second layer of fibrous material are bonded together, said absorbent structure further comprising a means to provide a ‘scent signal’ in the form of a pleasant odour which signals the removal of odour during use of said absorbent structure.

A layered absorbent structure, particularly suitable for neutralizing odour and absorbing liquid in inanimate places, comprising a first layer and a second layer of fibrous material and a discontinuous intermediate layer between said first layer and said second layer of fibrous material, said discontinuous intermediate layer comprising an odour control means and a water absorbing means, said discontinuous intermediate layer defining areas separated by bonding areas where said first layer and said second layer of fibrous material are bonded together, said absorbent structure further comprising an attachment means.

An absorbent structure, particularly suitable for neutralizing odour and absorbing liquid in inanimate places, said absorbent structure being in the form of a sheet and comprising an odour control means and having a water absorption capacity of at least about 0.06 grams per square cm, said absorbent structure being provided with antislipping properties.

An absorbent structure, particularly suitable for neutralizing odour and absorbing liquid in inanimate places, said absorbent structure being in the form of a sheet and comprising an odour control means and having a water absorption capacity of at least about 0.06 grams per square cm, said absorbent structure being provided with an indicator which indicates the end of the lifetime of said absorbent structure.

A layered absorbent structure, particularly suitable for neutralizing odour and absorbing liquid in inanimate places, comprising a first layer and a second layer of fibrous material and a discontinuous intermediate layer between said first layer and said second layer of fibrous material, said discontinuous intermediate layer comprising an odour control means and a water absorbing means, said discontinuous intermediate layer defining areas separated by bonding areas where said first layer and said second layer of fibrous material are bonded together, said absorbent structure further comprising a backsheet overlaying said second layer of fibrous material on a side facing away from said intermediate layer.
