Description

DESCRIPTION

ADDITIONAL DIAPER PROTECTOR

Object of the invention

The present invention relates to an additional diaper protector as a second barrier to prevent leaks of urine and/or feces from the user who is normally a baby, so that the additional protector is linked to the diaper worn by the baby and which constitutes the first barrier to prevent said leaks, so that it is conventionally common that the first barrier formed by the diaper itself is not capable of retaining all of the urine and feces. Specifically, these leaks are generated both in the area of the back at waist level and in the area of the legs, in particular in the area of the thighs of said legs. Therefore, with the protector of the invention leaks of urine and/or feces are prevented, preventing the baby's clothes from being stained, avoiding having to change the baby's clothes.

Thus, in order to apply the additional protector, a conventional diaper must first be placed and then, linked to it, the additional protector of the invention.

Background of the invention

Nowadays, it is very common for babies with diapers to leak urine and/or feces, especially when they are soft; where these leaks normally occur in the back area and in the thigh areas of the legs, so that in these cases, the clothes end up stained both in the back and in the thigh areas.

The American patent with publication number US 20110245791 A1 discloses an additional diaper protector that comprises a main body and two opposing collateral bodies that are extensions of the main body. The additional protector is secured around the baby's waist with a certain tightness by embracing the two collateral parts, joining them together through an adherent material incorporated in at least one of said collateral parts. In this situation, the main body of the additional protector is located in correspondence with a lower area of the baby's back, so that a part of the main body covers an upper portion of the diaper, while another part of said main body of the additional protector covers a portion of the baby's back that is above said upper portion of the diaper.

Therefore, the additional protector described only works by retaining the leak when it occurs in the back area, and even so, if the leak is large, the additional protector is not capable of retaining it completely, resulting in leaks that will stain the baby. or to the baby's clothes.

Description of the invention

In order to achieve the objectives and avoid the drawbacks mentioned in the previous sections, the invention proposes an additional protector that comprises a laminar structure formed by several layers that includes a main body and two opposing lateral bodies that are extensions of the main body; wherein the additional protector is configured to be fastened around the waist of a baby by embracing a part of the main body and the two side bodies joining together through a fastening system.

The protector of the invention includes a straight first longitudinal edge and a second longitudinal edge, opposite the first longitudinal edge; where both edges are part of the central body and the lateral bodies; where the second longitudinal edge includes a straight central section that corresponds to the main body, and two lateral sections that correspond to the two lateral bodies; and where said lateral sections include arched portions and straight portions that end at ends of the lateral bodies.

The additional protector further includes a pocket structure that runs parallel to the second longitudinal edge, and is delimited by a fold and a portion that meet at the second longitudinal edge of the additional protector.

The protector also includes two symmetrical flaps that start from the first longitudinal edge in correspondence with areas of the two lateral bodies; where said symmetrical flaps include second adhesive strips that are configured to maintain a folded position of said symmetrical flaps on parts of the diaper that wrap the thighs of the baby's legs; and where the symmetrical flaps in the folded position form two opposing portions.

The pocket structure is configured to prevent leakage of urine and feces from the baby in the area of his back above an upper edge of the diaper and in the rest of the waist contour of the baby's body, while the two symmetrical flaps are configured to prevent leakage of urine and feces through the parts of the diaper that surround the thighs of the baby's legs.

The additional protector includes a central flap that starts from the first longitudinal edge, in an area of the main body; where a third adhesive strip is attached to said central flap that is configured to join the outer surface of the diaper in correspondence with the lower back of the baby.

The laminar structure of the additional protector comprises an inner layer that is configured to be in contact with the baby to collect moisture that has not been retained by the diaper in order to keep the skin of said baby dry; an intermediate layer that is absorbent to keep within it the leakage of urine or feces that the diaper is not capable of retaining; and a waterproof outer layer that is configured to not let out any urine and/or feces to keep the baby's clothes clean.

With this described arrangement, the additional protector of the invention aims to put an end to accidental situations of leakage of urine and/or feces, for example when the baby is taken to a wedding with new and special clothes. In this case, parents place the conventional diaper they prefer and over this diaper, the additional protection of the invention is placed.

It is highlighted that the additional protector of the invention differs from the American patent US 20110245791 A1, in that the additional protector not only protects leaks from the back, but also protects the areas of the sides of the thighs of the baby's legs. . In addition, leaks from the back are better protected thanks to the inverted pocket structure that is included along the entire length of the second longitudinal edge.

Below, to facilitate a better understanding of this descriptive report and forming an integral part thereof, a series of figures are attached in which the object of the invention has been represented with an illustrative and non-limiting nature.

Description of an example of embodiment of the invention

Considering the numbering adopted in the figures, the additional diaper protector 1 2 comprises a main body 3 and two opposing lateral bodies 4, 5 that are extensions of the main body 3. The additional protector 1 is fastened around the waist of a baby 6 with a certain tightening by embracing a part of the main body 3 and the two lateral bodies 4, 5, joining together through a first adhesive tape 7 that is attached to one 4 of the two lateral bodies 4, 5.

The main body 3 of the additional protector 1 is configured to be located in correspondence with a lower area of the baby's back 6, so that a part of the main body 1 covers an upper portion of the diaper 2, while another part of said main body 3 of the additional protector 1 covers a portion of the baby's back that is above said upper portion of the diaper 2.

The additional protector 1 comprises a straight first longitudinal edge 8 and a second longitudinal edge 9, opposite the first longitudinal edge 8; where both edges are part of the central body 3 and the lateral bodies 4.

The second longitudinal edge 9 includes a straight central section 9a that corresponds to the main body 1, and two lateral sections 9b that correspond to the two lateral bodies 4; where said lateral sections 9b include arched portions and straight portions that end at ends of the lateral bodies 4.

The additional protector 1 includes an inverted pocket structure 10 that runs parallel to the second longitudinal edge 9, so that said inverted pocket structure 10 is delimited by a fold 10a and a portion 10b that converge at the second longitudinal edge 9 of the protector additional 1.

Said pocket structure 10 constitutes an important reinforcement to achieve greater absorption of possible leaks or leaks of urine and feces in the portion of the baby's back that is above the upper portion of the diaper 2 that is in contact with his back. , and also in the rest of the waist contour of the baby's body 6.

The additional protector 1 also includes two symmetrical flaps 11 that start from the first longitudinal edge 8 in correspondence with areas of the two lateral bodies 4; where said symmetrical flaps include second adhesive strips 17 to be able to maintain a folded position of said symmetrical flaps 11 on parts of the diaper 2 that wrap the thighs of the baby's legs 6 in order to prevent leaks or leaks of urine or feces. through said parts of the diaper 2.

In the folded position of each symmetrical flap 11, it folds on itself generating two opposing portions 11a, 11b arranged in two substantially parallel planes joined by a fold, while in the deployed position, as shown in the figure 1, these two portions are arranged in the same plane.

To maintain the folding of the symmetrical flaps 11 on the diaper 2, the second adhesive strips 17 are adhered to an outer surface of the diaper 2, so that a part of the symmetrical flaps 11 is placed inside the diaper 2 being in contact with the skin of the baby 6, and another part that includes the adhesive strips 17 is placed on the outside of the diaper 2 and rests against it. Thus, in the position of use of the additional protector 1, the symmetrical flaps adopt configurations of envelope pocket structures in which portions of the diaper 2 are housed.

The additional protector 1 also includes a central flap 12 that starts from the first longitudinal edge 8, but in an area of the main body 3, so that a third adhesive strip 13 is attached to this central flap 12, which is configured to join the surface. outside of the diaper in correspondence with the baby's lower back.

The structure of the additional diaper protector 1 of diaper 2 comprises:

- An inner layer 14 that is in contact with the baby 6 to collect moisture in order to keep the skin of said baby 6 dry.

- An intermediate layer 15 that is absorbent to keep within it the leakage of urine or feces that the diaper 2 is not capable of retaining.

- A waterproof outer layer 16 (visible once the additional protector 1 is placed on the baby 6) that is in contact with the baby's clothing 6 and which is configured to not let out any remains of urine and/or feces to maintain this the baby's clean clothes.

Thus, the additional protector 1 is fixed to the diaper 2 with the adhesive tape system 7, 17, 13, which in the exemplary embodiment is specifically Velcro.

Both the pocket structure 10 and the surrounding structure of the symmetrical flaps 11 during the use of the additional protector 1 are capable of efficiently capturing, retaining and absorbing leaks of urine and feces that the structure has not been able to retain. of conventional diaper 2 around the entire contour of baby's waist 6.

The protector of the invention avoids having to change the baby's clothes, so that one embodiment of the invention will be manufactured in a single size, and the additional protector 1 can be used from birth until the baby stops wearing a diaper.

The design as described above comprises the main body 3 with a substantially rectangular shape that is configured to be placed on the back of the baby 6, a part overlapping a part of the diaper 2, and another part above the edge of the diaper in correspondence with the back. Instead, the two side bodies 4, 5 in combination with a portion of the main body 3, wrap and hug the waist of the baby 6 to close the assembly of the additional protector 1 in front of the baby 6 through the first adhesive strip 7
