<p>An elongate, liquid absorbent sock for handling liquids. The sock includes: (1) a liquid absorbent core of loose absorbent material; (2) a flexible, liquid permeable cover containing the loose absorbent material and establishing the cross section of the sock; and (3) an adhesive layer on at least a portion of the liquid permeable cover. The cover may be a nonwoven web of fibrous material which may be apertured or may be treated to enhance liquid permeability. In one embodiment, the cover has sufficient strength so the absorbent sock can be used to wipe up liquid. The adhesive layer may be substantially continuous or substantially discontinuous and is desirably a pressure sensitive adhesive layer. The adhesive layer is adapted to secure the absorbent sock to a surface, to another absorbent sock, or to a device for wiping up liquid.</p> |
