INCONTINENT PAD

摘要

A disposable absorbent pad arranged to be worn in an undergarment to trap and collect urine. The pad has a moisture pervious, e.g., fibrous, top-sheet, a fluid acquisition layer, an absorbent core, and a moisture-impervious, e.g., polymeric film, back-sheet. The back-sheet is formed of a fluid impervious material, e.g., a polymeric film. The fluid acquisition layer is disposed over the core and both it and the core are interposed between the top-sheet and the back-sheet. The back-sheet has an opposed pair of arcuate edge portions and an opposed pair of linear side edges. The top-sheet has an opposed pair of arcuate edges and an opposed pair of side portions. Each of the side portions of the top-sheet merges with the remainder of the top-sheet along a respective fold line and each is of a generally trapezoidal shape. The arcuate edges of the top-sheet are disposed over respective ones the arcuate edges of the back-sheet. The top-sheet and back-sheet are secured together. The side portions of the top-sheet are folded along respective ones of the fold line around respective linear side edges of the back-sheet and are adhesively secured thereto. Plural elastic strands are adhesively secured in place along the fold lines of the top-sheet to form elasticized side shields. An adhesive stripe is located on the back-sheet for mounting the pad in a garment. The adhesive stripe is covered by a removable liner strip.
