Title: A waste-containment garment having integrally protected adhesive fasteners
Inventor: JOFFE FREDERICK MARTIN
IPC: A61F13/15
Filed: 1984-10-15
Abstract: A waste-containment garment such as a disposable diaper or a disposable diaper insert is fitted with integrally protected adhesive fasteners 30 which do not extend outwardly from the edges of the garment. Each adhesive fastener 30 comprises a pressure sensitive adhesive means 31 disposed on an outer surface of the garment and an adhesive-release means 32 disposed adjacent thereto on the same outer surface of the garment and disposed on corner areas of the garment. The garment is folded to associate each adhesive means in face-to- face adhered relation with its adjacent adhesive-release means until immediately prior to use of the garment. To use the garment, each adhesive means is peeled from its associated adhesive-release means so that it may be used for its intended purpose: e.g., to secure a diaper insert inside a diaper or overpant or the like; or to secure the back corners of a disposable diaper to the adjacent front corners of the disposable diaper. Diaper insert embodiments of the garment preferably have such means on each of their outwardly facing corners; and disposable diaper embodiments of the garment preferably have such means disposed on two of their inwardly facing corners. <IMAGE>
