Description

PACKAGING THAT INCORPORATES SENSORY ELEMENTS FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present disclosure generally relates to a package containing disposable absorbent articles. More specifically, the present invention relates to a package containing disposable absorbent articles, wherein the package incorporates sensory elements, which communicate to a consumer a characteristic of the package.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The field of disposable absorbent articles includes a wide variety of products for the consumer, which includes diapers, bibs, cloths, sanitary napkins, tampons, etc. Within each category, ie, diapers, cloths, etc., the number of offers for different products is usually large. For example, within the product offerings in the diaper category, they can include training diapers, adhesive diapers, training pants, diapers for newborns. In general, the packaging of each of these disposable absorbent articles includes the disposable absorbent article mark, plus some iconography or design, which allows the consumer to easily recognize a particular brand. In addition, the packaging for these disposable absorbent articles may include a description of the number of absorbent articles contained in the package, and a description of how to use the disposable absorbent article. In some cases, specifically, to know how to use the disposable absorbent article, the communication with the consumer can be done by means of visual images without using alphanumeric characters. Visual images, excluding alphanumeric characters, can be an effective way to communicate with consumers. For example, in the context of diapers or pre-moistened cleaning wipes, consumers often make purchases with infants or young children, resulting in less ability to concentrate firmly on the various product offerings of disposable absorbent articles. In addition, since the number of product offerings within each category may be large, it can be quite difficult for consumers to self-select the product or products that can more appropriately meet their needs. Unfortunately, in some cases, a consumer may select an inappropriate product simply based on the packaging. For example, the consumer can select a product that contains pre-moistened cleaning wipes, which are suitable for their needs. However, the consumer may inadvertently select a container, which upon opening, can not retain the moisture of the pre-moistened cleaning wipes. After a period of use, the cloths that were previously moistened could be dried. This could cause discomfort or injury when using the dried cloth. On the contrary, consumers can, after realizing that they have selected a product that does not meet their needs, have to return to the place of purchase and try to return the inappropriate product, and consequently buy the appropriate product. Therefore, it is advantageous to provide a package that incorporates sensory elements that communicate a characteristic of the package. These sensory elements can help the consumer make better decisions when purchasing containers that contain disposable absorbent articles.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The package of the present invention can include a sensory element, which communicates to a consumer a characteristic of the package, thus allowing the consumer to select a product appropriate for his needs. In some embodiments of the present invention, a package containing at least one disposable absorbent article, may comprise a body and a first sensory element. The body has an opening in it, and the first sensory element communicates a first performance attribute of the container. In other modalities, a flexible package may comprise a plurality of cloths therein, a body, a cover, a sensory grip element, a first sensory element, and a cover sensory element. The cover can have a coupling region and an elevatable region. The coupling region of the cover can be attached to the body. The sensing grip element may be disposed over a portion of the lift region of the cover, and the grip sensing element may communicate with a grip area of the lift region of the cover. The first sensory element can be arranged on the cover, wherein the first sensory element communicates a first characteristic of the flexible package. The sensory element of the cover communicates the first performance attribute of the flexible container. Other embodiments of the present invention include a row or series of packages. The row of packages, together with each of the packages within the row comprising a plurality of cloths, may further comprise a first container and a second container.

The individual offers in the row or series are related to each other by some similarity or connection. Examples of such similarity or connection may include, but are not limited to: a common brand, a common logo, a common color scheme, a common graphic or any other distinguishing mark that indicates a relationship between the products and that these are offers for subgroups within the general group to which the row or series is destined as a whole. As used herein, the term "characteristic" will refer to a functional aspect or a performance attribute, which helps to distinguish a product. For example, package features may include resetable covers / covers, ability to retain moisture, prevent moisture loss from the contents of a package, ease of opening the package, or the like. As used herein, the term "performance attribute" refers to a benefit provided by the container in relation to the contents within the container or with respect to the end user, when the content is used in accordance with the intended use. For example, in the context of pre-moistened cleaning wipes, a package can retain the moisture of the pre-moistened cleaning wipes inside the package, or it can prevent the loss of moisture from the pre-moistened cleaning wipes inside the package, provided the package is used. according to the expected use. The term "functional characteristic" refers to the capabilities of the container when used in accordance with the intended use. For example, the package may have a resealable cover, float within the tube, glow in the dark, provide audible feedback in response to a user action, or similar. As used herein, the terms "differ and" different ", in the context of sensory elements, will include perceptible dissimilarities in appearance, color, shape, design, feel, or sound among other elements. The terms "differ" and "different" will include functional dissimilarities and dissimilarities in the performance attribute, for example, a first characteristic can be related to the capacity of the container to prevent moisture loss from the cloths inside the container, and a second characteristic of the container may be related to a reclosable cover In this example, the first characteristic differs from the second characteristic.The term "disposable" is used herein to describe products that are generally not intended to be washed. or in any other way, to be restored and reused for their original function, they are usually intended to be discarded s after about 1 or 2 uses. It is preferred that these disposable articles be recycled, composted, or otherwise disposed of in a manner compatible with the environment. A "disposable absorbent article" refers to an article device that generally absorbs or holds fluids. In certain cases, the phrase refers to articles that are placed against or in proximity to the wearer's body to absorb and contain feces or exudates discharged from the body, and includes personal care items, such as baby diapers, training pants for babies, adult incontinence supplies, feminine hygiene items, baby bath diapers, wound dressings, and the like.

In addition, configurations are included where one element is permanently secured to another element, or removably secured to another element. As used herein, the term "product" will refer to a package containing disposable absorbent articles. As used herein, the term "pre-moistened cleaning wipe" refers to a wipe having a moisture content greater than about 0% by weight of the substrate. Some cloths are delivered in an apparently "dry" state, even though they have a measurable moisture content. For example, some cleaning cloths (such as for bathing, washing the face or removing makeup) have a solution for cleaning with low moisture content (usually less than about 10%), which is impregnated or any other shape, integrated into the cloth substrate. This solution can be released from the wipe by immersing the wipe in water. Pre-moistened cleaning wipes often have a higher moisture content when packaged, such as a moisture content in the range of about 50% to about 350%, or more, by weight. For the purposes of this application, the moisture content imparted within the substrate will be referred to generically as "lotion". Lotions can be solutions, emulsions or any other type of composition and, in general, they are some kind of aqueous formulation for cleaning. In the industry, a broad and suitable diversity of lotions is known.

Description The containers of the present invention incorporate sensory elements to communicate to a consumer one or more characteristics of the container. The communication of one or more characteristics of the container to the consumer, can help the consumer to select a product that is for them beneficial rather than harmful. The containers of the present invention, in some embodiments, include flexible containers and rigid plastic containers, for example, plastic tubes. Below are examples of each of these. The present invention is applicable to containers comprising content. For example, in some embodiments, the present invention relates to packages comprising a plurality of disposable absorbent articles. However, the description provided hereinafter will relate to packages comprising a plurality of disposable pre-moistened cleaning wipes.

The containers made according to the present invention may comprise a body, which practically encloses the contents of the container. The body can comprise an opening in it. The opening can be opened or closed by any suitable means, for example, a cover. For example, as shown in Figure 1A, in some embodiments, a package according to the present invention may comprise a flexible package 100. The flexible package 100 may comprise a body 110 and a cover 112. The cover 12, as shown, in some embodiments, may be disposed on an upper surface 130 of the body 110. However, the cover 112 may be disposed on any suitable surface (s) of the body 110. In general, the cover 112 is disposed over the body 110, so that an opening 1015 (shown in Figure 1B) is at least partially covered by the cover 112, when the cover 112 is in the closed position. As shown, in some embodiments, the body 110 may be formed from a sheet of packaging film, which is wrapped around the plurality of disposable wipes (not shown). The adjacent ends of the packaging film can be sealed together to completely enclose the disposable wipes. Accordingly, a back seal (not shown) may extend along a distance L from the body 110, and two side seams 126 may extend through a side width W of the body 110. The cover 112 may comprise a mating region 120, and a lifting region 122. In some embodiments, the coupling region 120 can be attached to the body 110. Furthermore, in the closed position, the lifting region 122 is attached to the body 110. To expose the cloths within the body 110, a person can lift the elevable region 122 of the cover 112. Generally, the cover 112 does not rise to the point where the engagement region 120 of the cover 112 is not fixed to the body 1 0. In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. shown in Figure 1 B, when the cover 112 is raised, a portion 170 of the body 110 can be attached to the cover 112, so that the portion 170 of the body 110 can be raised with the cover 1 2, thereby exposing the cloths inside. of the body 110. In some embodiments, the body 110 may comprise a pre-existing opening, which is covered by the cover 112. In this way, when raising the cover 112, the cloths are exposed inside the container body 110. In the embodiments more recent, upon raising the cover 112, no portion of the body 110 with the cover 112 is raised. Referring again to FIG. 1A, as stated above, when the cover 112 is in a closed position, they can be attached to the body. 110, both the coupling region 120 and the lifting region 122. There are various means for joining the coupling region 120 and the lifting region 122 to the body 110, still allowing the lifting region 122 not to be fixed, and consequently returning to fix to the body 110. For example, in some embodiments, the lifting region 122 may comprise a first adhesive, while the coupling region 120 comprises a second adhesive. The first adhesive can be selected, so that it can not be fixed to the elevable region 122 of the cover 112, and consequently reattached to the body 110, while the second adhesive can be selected, so that the attachment region 120 is permanently fixed. to the body 110. In another example, the lift region 122 may comprise the same adhesive as the coupling region 120. However, the lift region 122 may comprise a base weight of applied adhesive lower than the coupling region 120. Yet in another For example, the lifting region 122 can not comprise any adhesive, while the coupling region 120 comprises an adhesive. In yet another example, both the lift region 122 and the coupling region 120 can comprise adhesive. However, the elevable region 122 may further comprise an adhesive reducing agent. In addition, embodiments are contemplated where the adhesive is disposed on the container body 110, and fixed to the cover 112. Any suitable reducing agent known in the industry can be used.

As an example, the functional feature may be that the package includes a cover that can be closed, while the performance attribute may be that the package prevents loss of moisture from the cloths inside the package. In some embodiments, the first container may comprise a first sensory element, and a second container may comprise a second sensory element. However, in some embodiments, the first sensory element and the second sensory element may communicate the same characteristic, and may be perceptibly different from each other. In addition, embodiments are contemplated where the first container further comprises a first sensory grip element, and the second container comprises a second grip sensing element. In some embodiments, the first sensory grip element and the second grip sensing element may be perceptibly different from each other. Similarly, embodiments are contemplated where the first package comprises a first cover sensing element, and a second container comprises a second cover sensing element. In some embodiments, the first sensory element of the cover and the second sensory element of the cover may be differently perceptible. Modes are contemplated where a first container or a second container comprises a combination of at least a first sensory element, a second sensory element, a sensory grip element, and a cover sensing element. In addition, embodiments are contemplated where at least a first sensory element, a second sensory element, a sensory grip element, and a sensory shell element, between the first container and the second container, are perceptibly different. In these modalities, different sensory elements may communicate the same performance characteristic or attribute, or may communicate performance characteristics or attributes different from their respective containers. Multiple features of a package made in accordance with the present invention can be communicated by a combination of the gripper sensing element, the first sensory element, the shell sensing element, or the second sensing element. For example, embodiments are contemplated where the first sensory element 260 (shown in Figures 2A and 2B) communicates a first characteristic of a container, and the second sensory element 460 (shown in Figure 4) communicates a second characteristic of the container, the which is different from the first characteristic. For example, in some embodiments, the first sensing element 260 (shown in Figures 2A and 2B) may communicate a functional characteristic, while the second sensing element 460 (shown in Figure 4) may communicate a performance attribute of the package. In addition, modalities are contemplated where there is a synergy between two or more sensory elements. For example, the gripper sensing element 160 (shown in FIG. 1A) may comprise a first graphic. Similarly, the first sensory element 260 (shown in Figures 2A and 2B) may comprise the first graph or a portion of the first graph. Other synergistic relationships are contemplated. For example, in some embodiments, the cover sensing element 360 (shown in Figure 3) may comprise a shape, which generally conforms to an oyster, and the first sensing element 260 (shown in Figures 2A and 2B), the second sensory element 460 (shown in Figure 4), or the grasping sensory element 160 (shown in Figure 1A), may comprise an image of an oyster. Furthermore, in some embodiments, the first sensory element and the second sensory element, in some embodiments, may communicate the same characteristic, and may be perceptibly different from each other. However, in some embodiments, the first sensory element and the second sensory element may communicate the same characteristic, and may be perceptibly different from each other. Modes are contemplated where the first sensory element, the second sensory element, the sensory grip element, or the sensory cover element, communicate a characteristic of a container by audible perception. Any suitable audible device known in the industry can be used. In addition to the sensory elements described herein, packages made in accordance with the present invention may comprise provided sensory elements, fragrance elements provided, tactile elements provided, and auditory elements provided, as described in the patent application of the present invention. USA series no. 11 / 066,091 entitled "Line Up of Wipes Products Incorporating Targeted Sensory Elements" ("Row of Cloth Products Incorporating Expected Sensory Elements"), filed in the name of Joshua James Norman. In addition, modalities are contemplated where a package or a portion thereof comprises a specific gender color. For example, a package may comprise a pink hue. As another example, a package may comprise a blue color tone. In yet another example, a package may comprise a neutral gender color, such as purple or green shades. Other examples are discussed in the U.S. patent application. no. 2005 / 0129743A1, U.S. patent application no. 2005 / 0125923A1, and U.S. patent application. no. 2005 / 0125877A1. Each of the packages of the present invention includes a pre-moistened cleaning wipe or a plurality of pre-moistened cleaning wipes. A pre-moistened cleaning wipe may comprise at least one substrate. No specific design is required for a substrate, and those with experience in the industry, will easily realize that all the ways and diversities of substrates are adequate. While not necessary, the substrates are typically made of non-woven fabric materials. In addition, the substrates can be formed from a sheet-like material, by any of the well known process varieties including: air-laid, carding, spin-bonding, spin-spinning, hydroforming, and the like. The properties of the substrate according to the present invention may be homogeneous or non-homogeneous. For example, while a single uniform pattern is suitable it may be desirable that the substrate be laminated and that some or all of the layers have a different fiber composition. Also, zones may have different properties. The substrates can be made from a variety of conventional natural or synthetic fibers, including cellulosic based fibers (such as rayon, cotton, pulp, lyocell, and variations thereof), or polyethylene, polypropylene, bicomponent or other synthetic fibers . The cloths suitable for use in the present invention can be provided in a wide variety of shapes and sizes, although a specific shape or size is not necessary. To facilitate manufacturing and dispatching, rectangular sheets of wipe material can be used, although the wipes can also be round, circular or otherwise. The individual canvases can be packaged separately (as in a pop-up configuration) or the wipes can be packaged in a stack or as a continuous roll for later separation by the user (e.g. , through perforations or similar). The substrate material of a cloth can be impregnated with a liquid or semi-liquid composition, which can improve cleaning, provide a soft feel, or perform some other function. The composition may include an emollient, a surfactant, an emulsifier, a comforting agent, a rheology modifier, a preservative or preservative system, water, or other component. Suitable examples of each component and additional details with respect to substrates and compositions for pre-moistened cleaning towels are described in U.S. Pat. series no. 10 / 878,875, filed July 9, 2004, and entitled "A Composition for Wet Wipes that Enhances the Efficacy of Cleansing While Being Gentle to the Skin" ("A Composition for Pre-Moistened Cleaning Toalies that Enhances Cleaning Efficacy, While Soft for the skin "). The dimensions and values set forth herein are not to be construed as strictly limited to the exact numerical values mentioned. Instead, unless otherwise specified, each of these dimensions will mean both the aforementioned value and a functionally equivalent range that encompasses that value. For example, a dimension expressed as "40 mm" will be understood as "approximately 40 mm". All documents cited in the detailed description of the invention are incorporated, in their pertinent parts, herein by reference; the citation of any document should not be construed as an admission that constitutes a precedent industry with respect to the present invention. To the extent that any meaning or definition of a term in this written document contradicts any meaning or definition of the term in a document incorporated by reference, the meaning or definition assigned to the term in this written document shall govern. While particular embodiments of the present invention have been illustrated and described, it will be apparent to those with experience in the industry that various changes and modifications can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
