Abstract
An improved diaper to allow fecal materials both solid and semi-solid to be retained away from the body. It includes a water impervious outer layer, a water retention or absorption intermediate layer and an inner or inside layer which is water pervious. The inner layer has an anal opening for waste passage. Immediately below the anal opening in the intermediate layer is an oval shaped solids cavity. Solid waste material from the baby will be deposited in this cavity and may extend in the space between the intermediate layer and the outer layer. The outer layer has a pleat which is aligned with the solids cavity to give more room for waste products. A water soluble cover, which disintegrates in water, may be provided for the solids cavity of the intermediate layer.
Claims13
A disposable diaper comprising:
- a water permeable inner layer having an opening therein shaped to surround a wearer's anal opening;
- a water retention absorbent intermediate layer having a void positioned at least partially under said opening of said inner layer for receiving solid waste excretement from a wearer;
- a water impervious outer layer adjacent said intermediate layer;
- means to hold said inner layer, said intermediate layer and said outer layer in position.
A disposable diaper for an infant having a receiving space for infant solid waste to be stored away from the body which comprises:
- an inner layer which is water pervious;
- an outer layer which is water impervious;
- an intermediate layer which has water retention capabilities;
- said inner layer having an opening shaped to surround a wearer's anal opening;
- said intermediate layer having a cavity which is positioned at least partially under said opening of said inner layer;
- said outer layer having a pleat which is positioned adjacent said cavity, said pleat forming a solids receiving cavity which opens under said cavity of said intermediate layer;
- and
- means to hold said inner layer, said intermediate layer and said outer layer in a secured position with respect to each other.
A disposable diaper comprising:
- a water permeable inner layer having an opening therein shaped to surround a wearer's anal opening;
- a water retention absorbent intermediate layer having a void consisting of depressed areas to receive solid waste from an infant;
- a water impervious outer layer adjacent said intermediate layer;
- a cover sheet which disintegrates in water disposed between said inner layer and said intermediate layer and covering said opening in said inner layer;
- and
- means to hold said inner layer, said intermediate layer and said outer layer in position.
A disposable diaper for an infant having a receiving space for infant solid waste to be stored away from the body comprising:
- an inner layer which is water pervious;
- an outer layer which is water impervious;
- an intermediate layer which has water retention capabilities;
- said inner layer having an opening shaped to surround a wearer's anal opening;
- said intermediate layer having a cavity which is positioned at least partially under said opening of said inner layer;
- means to hold said inner layer, said intermediate layer and said outer layer in a secured position with respect to each other.
A disposable diaper comprising:
- a water permeable inner layer having an opening therein shaped to surround a wearer's anal opening;
- a water retention absorbent intermediate layer having an oblate void substantially longer and substantially narrower than said opening positioned at least partially under said opening of said inner layer for receiving solid waste excretement from a wearer;
- a water impervious outer layer adjacent said intermediate layer;
- and
- means to hold said inner layer, said intermediate layer and said outer layer in position.
