DISPOSABLE CLEANING GLOVE WITHOUT WOVEN FABRIC FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention provides a nonwoven fabric disposable glove adapted to be held on a user's finger. The disposable nonwoven fabric glove can be related to a personal care composition.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Personal care products, especially cleaning and conditioning products, have traditionally been marketed in various forms such as bar soaps, creams, lotions and gels. In general, these products must satisfy several criteria to be accepted by consumers. These criteria include cleansing efficacy, skin feel, softness to the skin, hair and ocular mucosa, and volume of foaming. The ideal products for personal cleansing should gently cleanse the skin or hair, cause little or no irritation and should not dry the skin or hair after frequent use. It is quite desirable to provide cleaning and conditioning benefits from a disposable substrate. Disposable products are convenient because they eliminate the need to carry or store bottles, bars, jars, tubes that are bulky and also avoid other types of clutter associated with cleaning products and other products that provide therapeutic or aesthetic benefits. Disposable products are also a more hygienic alternative to the use of a sponge, a cleaning towel or other cleaning article intended for prolonged reuse, because these cleaning implements can develop bacterial growth, unpleasant odors and other undesirable characteristics related to the repeated use. However, while it is preferred to use personal care items such as cleaning towels or disposable cleaning gloves, these also present their own problems. One of these problems is the retention of the disposable glove in the user's hand especially during a vigorous rubbing action. If the glove tends to fall during use, the user will be more concerned about retaining it on his hand than actually using it to wash himself. There remains a need to offer disposable products that are easy to use and are suitable for the user. On the other hand, there is a need for a disposable glove that is held in the hand of a user so that he can concentrate on the function he performs, specifically in washing, cleaning and conditioning without worrying about holding the cleaning glove in his hand .

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a disposable nonwoven fabric glove adapted to be used around at least one finger of a user's hand, said glove comprises a first and a second non-woven cloth member, each of which is they secure to each other along at least a portion of the periphery of said non-woven cloth members to form an interior volume between said non-woven cloth member members and an opening to which the user's hand has access; and wherein at least one of said nonwoven cloth members is adapted to extend under a weft of the user's hand when the glove is placed in his hand to form a fin portion of said glove; and wherein said fin portion is optionally held by the thumb of a user during use. The present invention further relates to disposable nonwoven fabric gloves that are adapted to at least one finger of a user's hand and that comprise: a first and a second nonwoven fabric member secured together along at least one portion of the periphery of said non-woven fabric members so as to form an inner volume between said non-woven fabric members and an opening for receiving the finger of a user's hand; and a personal care composition that relates to at least one of said first and second non-woven cloth member. The present invention further relates to a nonwoven fabric disposable glove that fits at least one finger of a user's hand and comprises a first and a second non-woven cloth member; wherein at least one of said members is a multi-layer nonwoven fabric cloth member; wherein said first and second nonwoven web members are secured together along at least a portion of the periphery of said nonwoven fabric members to form an interior volume between said nonwoven fabric members and an opening that allows access to the finger of a user's hand; and a personal care composition that relates to at least one of said first and second non-woven cloth member. The present invention also relates to methods for cleaning and treating skin or hair and similar body surfaces containing keratin, mainly the skin and hair using the gloves described herein.

The phrase "practically free of" as used herein, means that the composition comprises less than about 3%, preferably less than about 1%, more preferably less than about 0.5%, even more preferably less than about 0.25%, yet more preferably less than about 0.1% and most preferably less than about 0.01% by weight of the composition, of the indicated ingredient. As used herein, "activated with water" means that some of the articles of the present invention are offered to the consumer in dry form for use after wetting with a liquid. It has been found that these articles foam or "activate" by contact with a liquid or by preparing them with a liquid and then exposing them to mechanical forces, such as scrubbing. As used herein, the term "practically dry" refers to the fact that the glove is virtually liquid free and feels practically dry to the touch before use. As used herein, "practically dry" means that the glove of the present invention exhibits a moisture retention of less than about 0.95 gms, more preferably less than about 0J5 gms, more preferably less than about 0.5 gms, with greater preference less than about 0.25 gms, more preferably even less than about 0.15 gms, and most preferably less than 0.1 gms. The way to determine moisture retention is considered later. In this way the "practically dry" gloves of the present invention will generally comprise less than about 20% by weight of the liquid dry glove, preferably from about 4% to about 20% by weight of the liquid dry glove and most preferably from about 4% to about 16% by weight of the liquid dry glove. As used herein, "wet" means that before use the glove can be perceived as relatively dry to the touch and still contains a lot of fluid. Thus, the "wet" articles of the present invention will generally comprise from about 20% to about 40% by weight dry liquid glove. The term "wet" means that before use the glove can be perceived as wet to the touch and has a high fluid content. The weight percent of the fluid in the "wet" article is based on the total weight of the composition. The weight is expressed as the weight of the liquid. In this way, the "wet" gloves of the present invention will generally comprise between more than about 40% by weight of the liquid dry glove, preferably between 40% and 95% by weight of the liquid dry glove, and more preferably between about 50% and 80% by weight of the liquid dry glove.

The radii of the upper and lower curved sections are measured using the tool for radio measurement of the Autocad software. Additionally, the length-to-width ratio of the nonwoven fabric disposable glove also helps to reach and effectively contact areas difficult to clean and treat. The length-to-width ratio is from about 1.4 to about 1, more preferably from about 1.35 to about 1.1. Additionally, the disposable glove of non-woven fabric has a length preferably greater than about 85 mm, more preferably greater than about 90 mm, and more preferably even greater than about 100 mm. Members of non-woven cloth canvas Non-woven cloth members tend to improve cleanliness. The nonwoven fabric members may have the same texture or a different texture, such as a smooth texture, exfoliating or combinations thereof on each of their sides. The non-woven cloth members can act as an efficient exfoliating and foaming implement. By physically placing them in contact with the skin or hair, the non-woven cloth members help significantly to clean and remove dirt, makeup, dead skin and other debris. However, in the preferred embodiments for personal care, the substrate is not abrasive or abrasive to the skin. The first non-woven fabric canvas and the second comprise fibers. The nonwoven fabric members may comprise a variety of natural and synthetic fibers or materials.

As used herein, the term "non-woven fabric" means that the layer comprises fibers that are not woven into a canvas, but rather with which a sheet, mat, or pad layer has been formed. The fibers may be either random (i.e., randomly aligned) or carded (i.e. combed to be oriented mainly in one direction). The nonwoven fabric members made of synthetic materials useful in the present invention can be obtained from a wide variety of commercial sources. The most preferred synthetic fibers for nonwoven fabric members are commercial polyester fibers comprising polyethylene terephthalate homopolymers. Suitable synthetic materials may include unicomponent and multicomponent solid synthetic fibers, i.e. when the fibers are constituted by more than one type of material. The synthetic fibers may comprise bicomponent fibers or bicomponent fibers. These bicomponent fibers may have a core and sheath configuration or a side-by-side type configuration. In any case, the nonwoven fabric members may comprise any combination of fibers that include the materials listed above or fibers comprising a combination of the materials listed above. For the core-sheath configuration fibers, the cores comprise materials selected from the group comprising polyesters, polyolefins having a Tg or a melting temperature of at least about 10 ° C greater than the sheath material, and combinations thereof. In contrast, the sheaths of the bicomponent fibers preferably include materials selected from the group comprising polyolefins having a Tg or a melting temperature of at least about 10 ° C lower than that of the core material, polyester polyolefins having a Tg or a melting temperature at least about 10 ° C lower than that of the core material and combinations of these. In any case, with a side-by-side or core-to-shell combination, the fibers of the non-woven cloth members may have a helical or spiral configuration, in particular the fibers of the bicomponent type.

A preferred synthetic material for nonwoven cloth members for scouring may comprise nylon fibers. A synthetic material by which there is a greater preference comprises nylon fibers formed in a gauze layer which, when bonded thereto, have additional nylon fibers, so that the additional fibers form arcs in the gauze layer. The non-woven fabrics of natural materials useful in the present invention can be obtained from a wide variety of commercial sources.

Some suitable additional materials include, but are not limited to, formed films and composite materials, for example, multi-sheet materials containing films formed. Preferably, these shaped films comprise plastics that tend to be soft on the skin. Suitable soft plastic shaped films include, but are not limited to, polyolefins such as low density polyethylenes (LDPE). Methods for manufacturing non-woven fabrics are well known in the industry. In general, these non-woven fabrics can be manufactured by means of laying in air, laying in water, melting by blowing, shaping, spinning or carding, in which the fibers or filaments are first cut to the desired lengths from of long strands, they are then sent to a stream of water or air, and then deposited in a mesh through which the air or water containing the fibers passes. The resulting layer, despite its method of manufacture or composition, is then subjected to at least one of several types of bonding operations to anchor the individual fibers together to form a self-supporting glove. In the present invention the nonwoven fabric members can be prepared by a variety of processes including in non-restrictive form, meltblown, joint spin, air tangle, hydroentangling, thermal bonding, selective mechanical deformation as described in FIG. U.S. patent application number 10 / 737,640 filed December 16, 2003 and combinations of these processes. Preferably the members of the non-woven fabric canvas are prepared by a selective mechanical deformation process. The nonwoven fabric members can also be secured by chemical or physical means around at least a portion of the periphery of the nonwoven fabric members. Preferably, the fin portion of a nonwoven fabric member that is placed below the weft between the fingers of one wearer is not secured to another weave member of nonwoven fabric. Adherence by chemical means can be achieved by causing the periphery of the nonwoven cloth members to join when they are chemically similar, in which case adhesion can be helped with heat, pressure, solvents, adhesives or combinations of these. Both heat and pressure can be supplied by means of several well-known processing techniques. Adhesion by physical means can be achieved by water perforation, ultrasonic bonding, high pressure bonding, thermal bonding, shirring, sewing or combinations thereof. Adhesion by physical means includes interpenetration of at least a portion of the periphery of a nonwoven cloth member in or around at least a portion of the periphery of a second nonwoven fabric member. Cleat layer In one embodiment of the present invention, at least one of the nonwoven fabric member members may comprise a nonwoven fabric member that includes a lint layer. The lint layer preferably comprises synthetic materials. As used herein, "synthetic" means that the materials are obtained primarily from various artificial materials or from natural materials that have been further modified. Suitable synthetic materials include, but are not limited to, acetate fibers, acrylic fibers, cellulose ester fibers, modacrylic fibers, polyamide fibers, polyester fibers, polyolefin fibers, polyvinyl alcohol fibers, rayon fibers, polyethylene foam, polyurethane foam, and combinations of these. Preferred synthetic materials, particularly fibers, can be selected from the group comprising nylon fibers, rayon fibers, Tencel ™ type fibers, polyolefin fibers, and combinations thereof. Preferred polyolefin fibers are fibers selected from the group comprising polyethylene, polypropylene, polybutylene, polypentene, and combinations thereof. The most preferred fibers are the fibers selected from the group comprising polyethylene, polypropylene and combinations and copolymers thereof. Preferred polyester fibers are fibers selected from the group comprising polyethylene terephthalate, polybutylene terephthalate, polycyclohexylenedimethylene terephthalate and combinations and copolymers thereof. The most preferred polyester fibers are fibers selected from the group comprising polyethylene terephthalate, polybutylene terephthalate and combinations and copolymers thereof. The most preferred synthetic fibers comprise polyester fibers of solid cotton fibers comprising homopolymers of polyethylene terephthalate. Suitable synthetic materials may include fibers of a single solid (i.e., chemically homogeneous), multi-constituent fibers (i.e., each fiber is made with more than one type of material) and multi-component fibers (i.e., fibers) synthetics comprising two or more types of different filaments that are somehow interwoven to produce a larger fiber), and combinations thereof. Preferred fibers include bicomponent fibers, multi-component fibers, and combinations thereof. The bicomponent fibers may have a core-sheath configuration or a side-by-side configuration. In any case, the fluff layer may comprise either a combination of fibers comprising the above-listed materials or fibers that by themselves comprise a combination of the materials listed above. The lint layer may also comprise natural fibers. Suitable natural fibers are described above in the section of nonwoven cloth members. In addition, the fibers of the fluff layer preferably have an average thickness of about 0.5 to about 150 microns. More preferably, the average thickness of the fibers is about 5 to 75 microns. In an even more preferred embodiment, the average thickness of the fibers is from about 8 to 40 microns. further, the fluff fibers can be of various sizes, that is, the fibers of the fluff layer can comprise fibers having different average thickness. Also, the cross section of the fibers can be round, flat, oval, elliptical or have any other shape. In another embodiment, the liner layer of the present invention may comprise a composite material, i.e. a material having one or more sheets of the same or different suitable materials simply physically superimposed and continuously bonded (eg, laminate, etc.) or in a discontinuous pattern or by joining at the outer edges (or periphery) of the layer and / or at a discrete point. The term "composite or composite material" means that at least one layer does not exist as a distinct layer separate from the article, this layer will be formed during a processing step that includes mixing two or more components or compositions to form a heterogeneous mixture. The term "laminate" refers to at least one layer that existed separate from the article and was combined to form an article by a rolling process, among which are thermal bonding lamination processes (including ultrasonic) and by means of of adhesives. For example, the lint layer may comprise composite materials selected from the group comprising fibrous non-woven fabrics, sponges, foams, cross-linked foams, polymeric networks, lightweight fabrics, vacuum-formed laminates, formed films and formed film composites. A preferred liner layer comprises a formed film composite comprising at least one formed film and a nonwoven fabric material wherein the layer is formed under vacuum. A suitable material comprised of formed film includes, without limitation, a vacuum laminated composite formed film material formed by the combination of a carded polypropylene nonwoven fabric having a basis weight of 30 grams per square meter with a formed film. Without being limited to theory, the lint layer is particularly useful in the glove for use as a layer in contact with the skin thanks to its gentle exfoliating properties. Additionally, the preferred synthetic fibers forming the lint layer are highly hydrophobic thereby allowing water to flow freely through the glove. Additional nonwoven fabric members In another embodiment, the glove of the present invention may comprise one or more additional nonwoven fabric members that an industry expert would recognize as separate and distinct from the first and second non-woven fabric members. non-woven fabric attached to these non-woven fabric members at one point. The additional nonwoven fabric canvas members are suitable for improving the general cleaning and treatment of the surface to be cleaned and / or treated therapeutically. In addition, the additional nonwoven fabric members are suitable for improving the feeling of softness of each side of the disposable nonwoven fabric glove that comes into contact with the surface to be cleaned and / or therapeutically treated. In any case, we can refer to these additional non-woven cloth members as any non-woven cloth member consecutively numbered in addition to the two essential non-woven fabric members of the gloves of the present invention, for example the third non-woven cloth canvas member, fourth non-woven cloth canvas member, etc. Additional suitable nonwoven fabric members may comprise those materials described above and which are suitable for the first and second nonwoven cloth member. Compositions for personal care The present invention relates to a disposable nonwoven fabric glove used by individuals preferably for cleaning and / or treating the skin, hair or other similar surfaces containing keratin skin, hair and nails of the fingers and toes. These disposable non-woven fabric gloves may include the use of personal care compositions that adhere to the nonwoven fabric members of the present invention. The personal care compositions of the present invention are selected from the group comprising foaming cleaning agents, non-foaming cleaning agents, skin treatment agents, skin conditioning agents and mixtures thereof. Non-limiting examples of personal care compositions suitable for use herein are described in U.S. patent application Ser. serial number 60 / 516,502, filed on October 31, 2003. The present invention may comprise gloves that combine two or more different personal care compositions to form a single glove.

A. Foaming cleansing agents The compositions of the present invention also comprise one or more foaming cleansing agents that are attached to at least one of the nonwoven fabric members of the present invention. Accordingly, the foaming cleansing agents can be attached to the nonwoven fabric member. Usually, this will be done before using the item, that is, the foaming cleansing agents will be combined with the glove before wetting it for use. Preferred articles of the present invention are wet, moist or practically dry articles. Foaming cleansing agents can be used on the skin, hair and similar keratinous regions. Foaming cleansing agents generate a foam useful for washing a small portion of the skin, usually with a small amount of liquid. Foaming cleansing agents are especially useful for cleaning the face in a sink. The term "foaming cleaning agent" refers to a foaming surfactant which, when combined with a liquid and agitated mechanically, produces a foam or a suitable foam former so that the article as a unit generates foam. Preferably, these surfactants or combinations of surfactants should be soft; this means that they provide adequate detergent or cleaning benefits, but do not excessively dry the skin or hair, and still meet the foam generation criteria described above. In general, foaming cleansing agents will preferably not comprise more than about 250 percent of a foaming surfactant by glove weight. In order of least to greatest preference, the agents of the present invention comprise at most about 100 weight percent, 75 weight percent and 50 weight percent of a foaming surfactant by weight of the glove. In general, foaming cleansing agents for face cleaning will preferably comprise at least 0.5 percent of a foaming surfactant by weight of the glove. In order of least to greatest preference, the agents of the present invention comprise at least 0.6 weight percent, 0.75 weight percent and 1 weight percent of a foaming surfactant in glove weight. A wide variety of foaming surfactants, including those selected from the group comprising anionic, nonionic, amphoteric foaming surfactants and mixtures thereof, are useful in the foaming cleansing agents described herein. Non-limiting examples of foaming surfactants useful in the compositions of the present invention are described in U.S. Pat. no. 6,280,757 issued to McAtee et al. on August 28, 2001. Generally, the foaming surfactants do not interfere too much with the deposition of the conditioning agents present, for example they are quite soluble in water and have a HLB value greater than 10. The cationic surfactants can also be used as optional components, as long as they do not adversely affect the general foaming characteristics of the foaming surfactants.

The "moisture retention" is indicative of the sensation of dryness that users perceive when touching the gloves of the present invention, unlike the sensation imparted by the "wet" cloths. To determine the moisture retention of the gloves of the present and other disposable nonwoven fabric gloves products, the following equipment and materials are required.

Next, weigh two paper towels separately and record the weight of each one. Put a paper towel on a flat surface (for example a laboratory table). Put the sample article on this towel. Put the other paper towel over the sample article. Now, on the pressed sample article put the Lexan and then the weigh of 2000 g. Wait 1 minute. After a minute, remove the weights and the Lexan. Weigh the upper and lower paper towels and record the weight. Calculate moisture retention by subtracting the initial weight of the paper towel to the final weight (after 1 minute) of the two paper towels, the upper and lower. Add the weight differences obtained for the two paper towels. If several items were tested, calculate the average of the total weight differences to obtain moisture retention. As described above, the gloves of the present invention can be "practically dry", "wet" or "wet" before being used. The glove can be perceived dry to the touch even though it still has a high water content. The "moisture retention" is indicative of the sensation of dryness that the users perceive when touching the articles of the present invention, unlike the sensation imparted by the "wet" articles. Accordingly, the gloves of the present invention that impart a dry feeling to the touch can impart a dry feeling relatively independent of the amount of fluid they contain. The approximate maximum moisture retention of the articles of the present invention imparting a sensation of dryness is about 0.95 g, preferably at most about 0.75 g, more preferably at most about 0.5 g, most preferably at most about 0.25 g , still more preferably at most about 0.15 g, and most preferably at most about 0.1 g. As described in the present invention, the gloves of the present invention may be "wetted" before they are used. The glove can be perceived wet to the touch and have a high liquid content. The weight percentage of liquid of the "wet" article is based on the dry weight of the glove. In this manner, the "wet" gloves of the present invention will generally comprise between more than about 40% by weight of liquid, preferably from about 40% to about 95% by weight of liquid of the dry glove, and more preferably from about 50% to about 80% by weight liquid of the dry glove. The glove can be perceived dry to the touch and still have a high liquid content. Thus, the "wet" articles of the present invention will generally comprise from about 20% to about 40% by weight liquid of the dry glove. Multiple Glove Modality The present invention also includes cases comprising a plurality of disposable nonwoven gloves having a personal care composition associated therewith. In addition, the present invention also includes cases comprising a plurality of disposable glove of nonwoven fabric without treatment composition or cleaner therein, wherein the glove is packaged with certain types of personal care compositions which are used to clean and / or or treat the skin, hair, and similar body surfaces that contain keratin. Manufacturing methods The gloves of the present invention can be manufactured by adding a cleaning and / or treatment composition separately or simultaneously on the glove surface or by impregnating it in the glove, before or after the selective mechanical deformation. "Separately" means that the cleaning and treatment compositions can be added in sequence, in any order and without previously combining them. "Simultaneously" means that the cleaning and treatment compositions can be added without having previously combined or after their combination. The cleaning and / or treatment composition can be imbibed onto the disposable nonwoven fabric glove using any method known to persons of skill in the industry. These components can be applied using different spray-printing techniques, soaking, coating or spooning. The excess surfactant and / or conditioning component can be removed (for example, by a pressure process). The obtained glove can remain wet or further processed to moisten or dry it by conventional methods known in the industry. Methods of using the articles The present invention also relates to a method for cleaning and / or treating the skin, hair or other bodily tissues containing keratin, with the disposable nonwoven fabric glove of the present invention which is soft due to to its structure. These methods include the steps of wetting a nonwoven fabric disposable glove with fluid, passing the glove through the area to be cleaned and / or treating with the cleaning and / or treatment composition. The gloves of the present invention can be moistened with fluid at the time of use, they can be distributed with the fluid already incorporated or they can be used without fluid. The practically dry glove is moistened by immersion in fluid or by placing it under a stream of fluid. By agitating and / or mechanically deforming the glove before or during contact with the skin, hair or other surfaces containing keratin, the glove generates foam. The obtained foam is useful for cleaning and treating the skin, hair or other surfaces containing keratin. During the cleaning / treatment process and subsequent rinsing with water, the treatment agents and active ingredients come into contact with the skin, hair and other surfaces containing keratin. The physical contact of the nonwoven fabric disposable glove with the skin, hair and other body tissues containing keratin improves the deposition of the treatment compositions and active ingredients.
