FLUID CONTAINER HAVING A FLUID ABSORBING MATERIAL

摘要

A fluid container (100, 200) includes a body (120, 221, 320) having a depth (116) extending between a base interior surface (130, 235) and an opening (138) of the fluid container. The body has a body length (109) and a body width (108) forming a maximum effective capillary fluid volume of the fluid container. The fluid container also includes a capillary material compression structure (118, 218, 219, 319, 419, 619) having an extension depth (117, 217, 317, 417, 617) extending from the opening to a capillary material (132, 232, 332) that is in contact with the capillary material compression structure. The extension depth, body length, and body width form an effective displaced volume (106, 206) that is greater than or equal to 20 percent of said maximum effective capillary fluid volume.
