Definitions

  • This invention relates to paper based single use hygienic products, such as table napkins and any paper pieces underlying table things, towels, handkerchiefs, toilet paper, and the like.
  • Paper based hygienic products of single use (table napkins, towels, handkerchiefs, toilet paper and the like) are widely used both in home household conditions, and in industrial sphere, in particular, at the enterprises engaged in public service.
  • Such single use products are manufactured now of a paper based material which is monochromatic with or without of some image.
  • the material, used for manufacturing of each lot of such products is identical and homogeneous, I. e. it has identical color, texture and picture.
  • the single use products which are made of such material, may be consumed as a whole, as it is with napkins, or they may be consumed in parts, i. e. gradually and as required, as it is, for example, with rolled toilet paper.
  • the products which are consumed in parts, such as the rolled toilet paper or the rolled towels, have usually no picture on its surface and differ each other only by a material quality or color.
  • toilet paper As a carrier of advertising and "mass media”, for what to render on a surface of a paper an appropriate information.
  • toilet paper with the information put on its surface was considered as an additional means of creation of public opinion within the framework of realization of such national campaigns, as cancer diseases or alcoholism healing, prophylactic of occupational injuries, etc. (the French application for an invention 72.07123, G 09 F 23/00,1973).
  • DE-C-495587 discloses a toilet paper with an imprint border for the purposes of advertising, wherein the border can be separated from the toilet paper by means of a perforation.
  • Another hygienic paper is disclosed in FR-A-2.225.131, wherein a group of n of paper fields are provided with a serial of imprints. After every n in paper fields the serial of imprints are repeated.
  • the single use products which are consumed in parts, such as napkins, are characterized by the large variety and can carry on a surface the various images.
  • the image can be a picture, or single word (more often the name of an appropriate enterprise of public catering) complemented occasionally by some items of information on this enterprise, in particular, by indication on hours of its work, or the enterprise name jointly with a picture representing its logo.
  • the table napkins are known carrying on the surface a repeating pattern (US-A-5573830, D 04 H 1/64,1996).
  • Texts, vignettes, pictures, other images of decorative, educational, advertising or utilitarian nature can be placed on a surface of napkins, as such or in various combinations (the French certificate for a utility model 71.21004, G 09 F 23/00,1972).
  • images placed now on a surface of single use hygienic products have basically advertising, and sometimes decorative character.
  • each piece of a rolled toilet paper should not differ from any other piece, and each table napkin should be precisely the same as any other napkin.
  • the single use products which are consumed as a whole, are not provided for retail trade separately ; there are blocks of such products incorporated by common packing, which are offered for sale, such blocks are minimal commodity unit.
  • Such packing contains some number of individual single use products having identical appearance, including identical images on their surface.
  • the advertising statements on a surface of single use products having no connection with the consumed product itself may be considered as an information, which is enforceable distributed by the advertiser, in which the consumer of hygienic products can be not interested at all. From this point of view the presence on such hygienic products of advertising of extraneous goods and services will hardly raise interest of wide circle of such hygienic products potential consumers.
  • the main task, solved by the present invention as described in claim 1, consists in giving to paper based single use hygienic products of the greater attractiveness by placing on their surface of various in the form and contents entertaining, educational, instructive and other useful information, that should have a positive effect on emotional and psychological condition of a consumer.
  • the basic idea placed as the basis of the present invention is to give the different appearance to homogeneous on properties and purpose products by placing on their surfaces of different images, which would be attractive to a consumer.
  • the aim in view is achieved by manufacturing the aforementioned single use products of hygienic purposes from a paper-based material, which bears on the surface different images.
  • the character of images layout on a surface of this material should be those to allow to form products of different configuration, in particular, rolled up tapes, or rectangular pieces of predetermined length and width.
  • Appropriate hygienic products can be manufactured of this material in such a way that the surface of each individual product being a minimal commodity unit, has different images.
  • the notion image may include the texts and figures simultaneously.
  • the texts can contain an attractive information of educational, entertaining, instructive, training or other character, which can attract consumers by causing positive emotions.
  • proverbs sayings, aphorisms may be cited, interesting facts and observations may be indicated, advice may be given, wishes and parting words may be expressed.
  • pictures may be puzzle ones, rebuses, chess tasks and etudes, or conundrums, which may be augmented also by patterns, ornaments, vignettes and others decorative and artistic products of fine art, and similar images.
  • products are united in blocks, its surfaces should be preferably decorated by images, which are linked each other by common subjects, or ideas, or by some other way.
  • the images on a surface of rolled products can represent a series of pictures, connected by a common plot, for example, it may be scenes from popular cartoons.
  • the subjects of the images on a surface of a material should be periodically updated, that the probability of repeated purchase by the consumer of goods with the images and plots, already known for him, was minimized.
  • minimal commodity unit means that minimal commodity unit which is normally used in retail trade.
  • the minimal commodity unit can be an individual product, for example, the toilet paper roll, or a block of individual products, for example, the pack of table napkins.
  • the inequality of images means the lack of complete coincidence of the corresponding images, though separate elements of the images can coincide.
  • the degree of images inequality on a material and/or products surface can be different; it depends on the aim, which ought to be achieved.
  • the separate images on a surface of the proposed material, and accordingly, on a surface of products, mainly such as the separate texts, should be periodically repeated.
  • such character of the pictures is advisable, if the aim is a training.
  • the single use products means equally an individual product consumed in parts such as the roll of a toilet paper, as well as an individual product consumed as a whole such as the individual napkin, and the block of single use products means some number of individual single use products incorporated by common packing and representing a minimal commodity unit such as the pack of napkins.
  • the single use product consumed in parts means a minimal commodity unit, which may be consumed gradually, i. e. the part by part.
  • the single use product consumed as a whole means a product consumed unitary and as a whole, at one moment; it can be included in a block of similar products and may not to be the minimal commodity unit itself.
  • the aim of increase of consumer's demand on single use hygienic products and improve of competitiveness of such products has to be achieved by above described means which were not used earlier.
  • the paper based single use hygienic products are manufactured of a material bearing on the surface the unequal images.
  • This material should have such form and such character of an arrangement of the images, which would allow to make of it products of a different configuration bearing on the surface the integral images.
  • the material bearing preferably such images as not repeating texts should be used for manufacturing of single use products such as table napkins, which minimal commodity unit is the pack including some number of individual articles.
  • the text means an independent image of readable information occupying at least a part of a surface of a material or a product.
  • the material bearing preferably such images as not repeating pictures should be used for manufacturing of single use products which are consumed in parts, such as rolled toilet paper, which minimal commodity unit is the individual product.
  • the figures means all independent images, except for textual, occupying at least a part of a surface of a material or a product.
  • the degree of inequality of the images on a surface of an initial material should be preferably such, that:
  • the textual fragment can contain an attractive information of educational, entertaining, instructive, training, and/or other character, which causes the consumer's positive emotions.
  • proverbs sayings, aphorisms, short poems, fragments of poems and prose

  • they can be the images of various automobile models, breeds of trees, architectural monuments and other.
  • That variant is optimum, when the images on surfaces of single use products, making minimal commodity unit, or the image on a surface of an individual product which is spent in parts, are linked by a common idea, a common plot, common subjects, or other in a similar way.
  • a series of pictures on a roll of a toilet paper can be linked by some common developing plot, when each subsequent picture develops the previous one, and as a whole comprises any entertaining plot or represents a fragment of a popular cartoon.
  • the identical images on a surface of a material and certain products can be periodically repeated.
  • the periodic recurrence of the identical images is directed on consolidation of previous information and is desirable.
  • the degree of non-repeatability of the images depends on prospective purpose and kind of products ; it should be those to minimize the probability to fall into some consumer's hands of products with the identical images.
  • the highest degree of non-repeatability of the images should be observe at manufacturing products intended for household use, i. e. within the limits of one family.
  • the appropriate requirements to non-repeatability of the images can be reduced to such degree to minimize the probability to fall into some consumer's hands of identical single use products.
  • the material intended for manufacturing of single use products of any sort, as well as the products themselves, can contain both textual fragments and pictures.
