Description

Improved women's tampons

The present invention relates to perfection in women's tampons.

Currently, there are those intended for introduction in the trade Tampons known, which consist of a cylindrical body of an absorbent material and an end thread for Exhibit pulling.

However, these previously described tampons are too extensive, by requiring larger packaging for this purpose, which is extremely inconvenient to carry. Also is the tampon quite difficult to slide in because of its size and sizeable cross-section.

Improvements were made to eliminate the disadvantages described above invented that describe a new type of tampon and compare it with the others already known Designs have special properties and therefore advantages.

The advantages are as follows:

1.) Easy introduction of the tampon due to the special design and properties.

2.) Smallest size per unit and therefore also correspondingly small packaging, "which is a large number of tampons may contain.

3.) Great absorbency and swellable due to moisture.

4.) Covering of the tampon by a solid or solidified substance with a sliding property Temperature facilitates the introduction of the tampon.

In brief, there are the improvements underlying the subject matter of the present invention from being dehydrated and squeezed by the moisture A swellable cellulose body by making this body a cladding consisting of a solid vaseline coating has, which shows holes for the penetration of moisture to the pressed cellulose body.

In another implementation form, the shell wall be continuous or continuous, but not because of it Prevents the internal secretions from reaching the pressed element, since the envelope properties described above which allow easy dissolution due to human temperature.

In another embodiment and so that the moisture reaches the inner pressed cellulose element, exist on the walls of the said envelope and the inner element holes, indera-for the secretions passages form, which swell the body on contact with the pressed inner cellulose element, with which the Tampon reaches normal usable size. In a further form of implementation, there is cladding of the aforementioned cellulosic element made from a solid gelatin or any jelly-like product, in

these perfections is also described the process for obtaining the covering * _s which may be carried out by immersion in a Gelatinenbad by the tampon is completely covered.

Another form of realization is that the Tampon. Various holes for the passage of the pull thread and the thread thus forms a curved path in order to achieve a greater breaking strength.

In another embodiment of this pulling thread is sewn in lengthwise direction of the tampon _s by a piece of thread left over at the end of drawing. The thread is sewn on in such a way that the individual stitches are far enough apart and the tampon can stretch well «

In all the cases described above, the hampon is obtained by stamping, in which elongated rectangular bodies are created, the insertion end of which can in some cases be round ₀

In the case of the elongated rectangular. Body eats that Insertion end of the solid gelatin casing round and preferably with an axial inlet connecting the main opening for the internal secretions to penetrate can.

Both the shell and the inner material "can be either perfumed or deodorized, or both at the same time.

The drawings show ':

Fig. 7 shows. A plan of the dehydrated and pressed Cellulosic body, which completes the inner part of the tampon and adjoins this body Thread is sewn, the free end of which is intended to be pulled out.

Figure 8 is a side view of the previous figure showing the spaced apart needle sticks of the elongated Fadeiis, the protruding end of which forms the traction mechanism.

Fig. 9 shows a plan view of the tampon with the gelatin cover and their particular round shape forming the lead-in end shown in dashed lines is.

In relation to the figures, this is now tampons intended for internal use, which are made from a dehydrated and pressed cellulose element 1 that gives the whole thing a particularly flat shape and the element swells slightly due to the moisture.

The body x 1 shows at one end, one for the drawstring 3 certain opening 2, while the opposite end is semicircular according to fig. 1 to 6. The mentioned body 1 is clad with a vaseline or solid gelatin envelope 5 by opening this envelope "at its end 6 and attaching it the opposite blunt and semicircular end 7 g, is closed.

The mentioned sheath 5 is shorter than the body 1,. by doing the protruding end of the body shows the opening 2 for the pulling thread 3 ..

On the Wändän of the shell 5 there are holes to the supply. passage of the internal secretions to the inner body 1 ■ to " facilitate.

In another embodiment, as shown in Figure 5, this shell has a continuous surface without any opening on. In this FpJLl the access of the moisture and secretions to the body 1 is realized at the moment, in which the shell expands due to the heat effect.

In another embodiment, the means for the passage of moisture and secretions are realized to the inner female body through holes 9 located on the sleeve 5 and the body 1 by making these holes Form continuous passages at an angle to the thickness of the tampon.

Because of the blunt end 7 and the nature of the material the sheath 5, as well as the extra-flat properties of the whole unit, the tampon can be easily inserted.

In another embodiment corresponding to Figures 7 to 9, we observe a tampon that consists of a

embossed cellulose body 1 or dehydrated and pressed cellulose material in order to create an extra_- Achieve flat unity by placing the body in the Inside a casing or casing made of a jelly-like product 5 having the rounded end 7, with a main opening or passage 19f so that the internal secretions reach the inner cellulose material, which is slightly swelling due to the moisture.

The embossed body 1 shows a thread 11 sewn along the body, the stitches of which are used to stretch the tampon be spacious enough apart.

The excess of the thread 12 is intended for pulling out the tampon.

In all of these embodiments, the invention enables corresponding flat shape of the tampon the packaging of a large number of tampons without taking up much space, which makes transport easier.

In another embodiment, the tampon can also be cylindrical and swellable, with one also made of Cellulose or hard gelatine existing outer casing, which dissolves due to the temperature of the human body.
