Abstract:
1. A disposable absorbent diaper including a front waistband region, a back waistband region, and an intermediate region with two laterally opposed side margins interconnecting the front and back waistband regions, the intermediate region of the diaper having a liquid pervious liner, a liquid impervious backsheet and an absorbent core disposed between the liner and the backsheet, said diaper further including a wrapper for enclosing and sealing the diaper when soiled, with said wrapper comprising: (a) a liquid impervious, disc-shape flexible sheet with a rounded, outer periphery having a first width when laid flat; (b) an elastic strand secured said outer periphery of the flexible sheet, said elastic strand forming an endless loop which, in a relaxed state thereof, shapes the flexible sheet into a pouch with an opening inside of side loop having a second width less than or substantially equal to a distance between said two side margins of said diaper; and (c) a pair of flexible strands secured to the flexible sheet on opposite sides of said opening and extending away from each other in opposite directions; wherein said first width of the flexible sheet is at least twice said second width of said opening such that, when shaped into a pouch, said flexible sheet is thereby caused to assume a rounded pocket shape having an outer, annular portion folded over with said opening at a center portion thereof; whereby said diaper, when soiled, may be inserted in said pouch and the opening in said pouch may be closed by tying said flexible strands, thereby wrapping and sealing the soiled diaper.
