A disposable diaper includes a sealable disposal envelope integrally attached along a belt area seam of the diaper. A sealing tape-belt member adhered to the envelope provides an airtight seal of this envelope when the used diaper is folded and then inturned around the seam and placed within the envelope. The seam is adherently formed, by among other possibilities, by a heat seal or adhesive such as a double stick adhesive tape. The sealing tape is also provided with an adhesive on both faces. One face of the sealing adhesive is attached to the inside of the envelope while the other face performs a dual function. Initially, this other face secures the opening of the un-used disposal bag in a closed manner but subsequently serves to sealingly close this bag opening following infolding of the used diaper into the attached disposal bag. During use of the diaper, the sealing tape operates as a belt, permitting form-fitting of the diaper about the body. In one embodiment, the belt area of the diaper has two slits and the tape ends extend through these slits. Protective strips on the double stick adhesive of the tape cover portions of the adhesive until ready for usage. With this arrangement, refastenable tabs are provided to allow form-fitting of the diaper during its use and additionally, adjacent adhesive portions are exposable after the diaper has been used, to permit the sealing of the disposal bag following insertion of the used diaper therewithin.

Disposable diaper with integral disposal envelope

A liquid dispensing swab applicator for dispensing a liquid contained within the applicator onto a surface, the applicator being hermetically sealed and provided with an external jig for opening the sealed applicator and permitting the contents of the applicator to be discharged and supplied to an absorbent material attached to the end of the applicator, the absorbent material serving to apply the contents to the surface to be treated.

Liquid dispensing swab applicator system

An absorbent napkin with infolding wrap consisting of an absorbent pad of elongated rectangular configuration with elongate edges defining a short and long dimension and having a body face and an outer face for engagement to clothing, a wrap member attached to at least one of the several elongated edges and adapted to fold along the one of the elongate edges of the members to inwrap the body face, and an adhesive member secured transversely of the wrap member for adhesive engagement to the clothing. The wrap members along the longer dimension are at least half-lengths of the long dimension of the absorbent pad.

Feminine pad with attached disposal wrap

A self-containing liquid swab applicator having a hollow tubing of a thin-walled plastic material for retaining therein a supply liquid and the material for being heat fusible, at least one end thereof being closed for securing retention of the supply liquid, one of the ends having an orifice adapted for exiting of the supply liquid, removable tab means secured upon the orifice for closure of the orifice until removed, and cotton form means permitting wicking and forming an environmental member about the orifice portion of the swab applicator for dispensing the supply liquid when the orifice is opened. The open end(s) may receive sequentially pulsing of alternate injections of supply liquid and air into one end of the tubing in measurable amounts and forming liquid lock portions and air lock portions along the tubing, and defining N segments of supply liquid spaced apart by air locks, and the segments may be cut apart at the air locks.

Self-contained liquid swab applicator and method for its manufacture

A diaper assembly with integral disposal system, including a disposable diaper and an envelope integrally carried on the outside of the diaper, that has a mouth for receiving the diaper when soiled. One or more elements engage a section of the diaper with another section of the diaper to secure it on a wearer in a use configuration and restrict the mouth of the envelope in a disposal configuration.
