Abstract

A male absorbing incontinence guard comprises a drop collector having a lower and an upper wall part (1, 2) for arrangement below and above the penis, respectively, the lower wall part (1) having a shorter length than the upper wall part (2), and with a free edge (3) defines an opening. Each wall part (1, 2) comprises an absorbing body (4, 5) and, fastened thereupon, a liquid-tight barrier sheet (6, 7). The barrier sheets (6, 7) in the two wall parts (1, 2) extend outside the respective absorbing bodies (4, 5) and are sealingly joined with each other along the side edges (12, 13) and the bottom of the drop collector, whereas the barrier sheet (6) in the lower wall part does not extend beyond the free edge (14) of the absorber body (4) in this wall part. In each of the wall parts the barrier sheets and the absorber bodies may be formed as integral bodies which for the positioning of the sheath form are folded in over themselves at the bottom of the sheath. The incontinence guard may be manufactured in that absorber bodies (27) punched in one piece from a web (28) of absorbing material are positioned across a web (24) of barrier sheet whereupon the web of barrier sheet (24) is folded about a longitudinal folding line (34) before the sealingly connection of the edges of the wall parts (1, 2) and edge cutting of the drop collector.

Description

Absorbing incontinence guard and method for its manufacture.
This invention relates to a male absorbing incontinence guard comprising a sheath shaped drop collector having a lower and an upper wall part for arrangement below and above the penis, respectively, the lower wall part having a shorter lenght than the upper wall part, the two wall parts being sealingly joined at the bottom and along the side edges of the drop collector, while a free edge of the lower sheath wall part defines an opening, both wall parts comprising an absorbing body covered by an internal layer of non-woven textile material and a liquid-tight barrier sheet extending outside the sides of the absorbing body.
Such absorbing drop collectors are known inter alia from the published NO patent application No.
158-847 and form an important part in the assortment of products available in recent years to relieve male urine incontinence seeing that absorbing products are used for the relief of light cases of incontinence with only occasional uncontrolled outlet of urine.
In a known incontinence guard of the kind en- tionned the lower wall part is entirely confined in the non-woven textile material in order to avoid the barrier sheet getting in contact with the users scrotum and the skin irritation thereby provoked. This however complicates manufacture because the establishment of a liquid-tight sealing between the two wall parts along the side edges and the bottom of the drop collec¬ tor is made difficult by the fact that, on one hand, the layer of non-woven textile material on the inner side of the lower wall part will be situated between the barrier sheets of the sheath wall parts, and must,
i^*__ I . i V.' il •-» ^*. ».____._____• I
ISA/ε.2 on the other hand, be sealed to the barrier sheet outside the free edge of the absorbing body.
The main object of the invention is to remedy these disadvantages thereby providing a simplification and a reduction of cost of the manufacture.
According to the invention, to accomplish this, an incontinence guard of the described kind is charac¬ terized in that the internal layer of non-wowen textile material in the lower wall part with an edge zone is taken around the absorber body at the free edge thereof and in between the absorber body and the barrier sheet so that the barrier sheet in the two wall parts are directly connected with each other whereas the barrier sheet in the lower wall part does not extend beyond the free edge of the absorber body in said wall part covered by the layer of non-wowen textile material.
The invention is based on the recognition of the fact that those edge parts of the barrier sheet which are subsequently to be sealed to each other in a liquid-tight manner can by these means be left uncovered by the internal layers of non-woven textile material. In addition it is possible to maintain an intact protection of the lower sheath wall part with inner and outer layers of non-woven textile material, since these layers can without difficulty stretch out to the free edge of the absorbing body near the introduction opening of the drop collector.
In a preferred embodiment a further simplifica- tion of manufacture is achieved in that the barrier sheet of the lower and upper wall part are formed as an integral part, which at the bottom of the sheath is folded over itself to produce the sheath form whereas the lower and upper wall parts are connected with each other by welding and/or adhesive joints along the longitudinal edges.
A further improvement of the facility of manu¬ facture can be achieved in that the absorber bodies of the upper and lower wall parts are formed as an integral body.
An improved facility for the user whereby outlet or leakage of liquid is prevented for that part of the upper wall part which extends beyond the free edge of the lower wall part can be acheived in that the absorber body or bodies have a shorter total length than the barrier sheet or sheets and in that a part of the barrier sheet extending outside one end of the..absorber body of the upper wall part is folded in over the absorber body to cover it internally on ■* the part of the upper wall part extending outside the free edge of the lower wall part.
The invention also relates to a method suitable for mass production with low production cost for the^ manufacture of an absorbing incontinence guard which method is characterized in that absorber bodies-of a predetermined plan shape for both the upper and lower wall parts are positioned across one and the same web of barrier sheet, said absorber bodies for the upper and lower wall parts of each incontinence guard having been punched from a web of absorbing material conveyed above the web of barrier sheet and having on its upper side a layer of non-woven textile material an edge zone of which is folded around one side edge of the absorber web and fastened to the underside of said web before the punching operation and in that the web of barrier sheet with absorber bodies positioned thereacross is folded along a longi¬ tudinal folding line so that the parts of the barrier sheet and the absorber body corresponding to one wall part are folded in over the parts corresponding to the other wall part after which the barrier sheets in the wall parts of each incontinence guard thus produced are connected with each other outside the edges of the respective absorber bodies before edge cutting of the drop collector by punching from the barrier sheet or sheets.
The invention will now be explained in more detail with reference to the schematic drawing in which

Fig. 2 represents an unfolded plan view of the incontinence guard of Fig. 1 before assembling of the edges,
Fig. 3 is a longitudinal view along the lines III-III on the Fig. 2,

Fig. 6 is a cross section along the lines VI- VI of the Fig. 5,

Fig. 8-10 illustrate the manufacture of an incontinence guard as shown in Fig. 1. Fig. 1 shows in inverse position an embodiment of an incontinence guard according to the invention comprising a lower wall part 1 in connection with an upper wall part 2 so that the two parts together form a sheath shaped drop collector with a liquid- tight sealing along the side edges of the wall parts 1 and 2 and at their bottom.
The wall part 1 which in use is ment to be positioned under the penis is shorter than the upper wall part 2 and a free edge 3 of the wall part 1 defines an introduction opening for the sheath shaped drop collector.
As it appears most clearly in the longitudinal view in the Fig. 3, each of the wall parts 1 and 2 comprises in the embodiment shown an absorber body 4 and 5, respectively, which at one of the plane sur¬ faces is fastened, e.g. by gluing, on a liquid-tight barrier sheet 6 and 7, respectively.
In the embodiment shown there is provided on both opposite sides of the absorber body 4 and 5, respectively, and the barrier sheet 6 and 7, respec¬ tively, a cover layer of a non-woven textile material 8, 9 and 10, 11, respectively.
In the embodiment shown, both the absorber bodies 4 and 5, respectively, and the barrier sheets 6 and 7, respectively, are formed as one integral part.
On the longitudinal sides of the absorber body the barrier sheet 6, 7 extends beyond the absorber body 4, 5 with a side edge 12 and 13, respectively. Whereas the' absorber body 4 in the lower wall part 1 extends right to the end edge 14 of the barrier sheet 6, the barrier sheet 7 in the upper wall part 2 extends somewhat beyond the end edge 15 of the absor- ber body 5.
In order to achieve the sheath shape shown in the Fig. 1 the wall parts 1 and 2 are folded in over each other about the folding line A-A in the Fig. 3 whereby the absorber bodies of the wall parts 1 and 2, the barrier sheets and the layers of non- woven textile material are positioned as shown in the schematic view in the Fig. 4.
The sheath shape of the finished drop collector is achieved after the folding by edge sealing of the barrier sheets of the two wall parts 1 and 2 to each other.
In the embodiment shown where both the absorber bodies 4, 5 and the barrier sheets 6, 7 are formed in one part the sealing only takes place along the side edges 12, 13, but the incontinence guard can, as shown in Fig. 7, also be formed with wall parts 16 et 17 consisting of separate absorber bodies 18, 19 and barrier sheets 20, 21, in that a edge sealing is performed also at the bottom af the drop collector at the edges 22 et 23.
The edge sealing is performed in a way known per se by welding or by means of a suitable adhesive with direct contact between the side edges 12 and 13 in the barrier sheets 6 and 7, respectively, of the two wall parts 1 and 2.
In order to achieve this, it is essential in particular that a possible layer of non-woven textile material 8, 9 on the absorber bodies 4, 5 does not extend beyond the edges of the absorber bodies.
In the embodiment shown the non-woven textile layer 8 on the top side of the absorber body 4 in the lower wall part 1 is taken around with an edge zone 8a about the free edge 14 of the absorber body 4 in the lower wall part 1 and fastened with glue between the latter and the barrier sheet 6.
In the embodiment shown the non-woven textile layer 10, 11 on the external side of the barrier sheet 6, 7 has the same plan shape as the barrier sheet and thus follows its edge contour. However, as an alternative, the projecting end part of the barrier sheet 7 of the upper wall part 1 at the edge 15 can be disposed of whereby only the non-woven textile layer 11 may have such an end part which can be folded in over the absorber body 4 and cover it on the part of the upper wall part 2 which is beyond the free edge 3 of the lower wall part 1.
The preferred embodiment for the incontinence 0 guard shown in Fig. 1-6 can be manufactured in that absorber bodies 27 of a predetermined plan shape are placed across a web 24 of barrier sheet which can be provided on its underside with a layer 25, fastened by .gluing, of non-woven textile material. In the embodiment shown here the absorber bodies ' 27 are punched out in one piece from a web of absorbing material conveyed above the web of barrier sheet 24 and which on its top surface has a layer 29 of non- woven textile material. Before punching of the absorber bodies 27 a projecting edge zone 30 of the layer 29 of non-woven textile material has been folded in- under one of the side edges 31 of the absorber web 28 and fastened by gluing to the underside of the latter. As shown in Fig. 8, the absorber bodies 27 are positioned on the web of barrier sheet in such a way that the free edge 14 of each absorber body 27 is positioned at one longitudinal edge 23 of the web of barrier sheet 23. In the embodiment shown, the width of the web of barrier sheet 23 is somewhat greater than the length of the absorber bodies 22 in order that the web of barrier sheet 23 outside the edge of the upper wall part in each absorber body 22 can be folded in on the upper surface of the absorber body and cover that part of the upper wall part 2 which is outside the free edge of the lower wall part 1.
After positioning of the absorber bodies 27 on the web of barrier sheet 23 the web of barrier sheet is folded along the longitudinal folding lines 34 and 35 in the way shown in the Fig. 9 and 10.
In connection with the punching of the absorber bodies 27 from the absorber web 28 comprising the layer 29, fastened by gluing, of non-woven textile material, a complete recirculation of pieces of the absorber web 28 not used can take place so that a waste of absorbing material and pollution of the envi¬ ronment are avoided.
As described the method according to the inven- tion comprises relatively few process stages and is therefore very appropriate for mass production of incontinence guards. At the same time the geometrical configuration of absorber bodies, barrier sheets and edge sealing with layers of barrier sheet in direct contact with each other without interjacent parts of non-woven textile material provide for a very reli¬ able liquid-tight sealing which does not exhibit the same tendency of cleavage along the edges as some of the known incontinence guards.
