Deodorizing and disinfecting liquid-absorbing product and process for

Abstract

Deodorizing and disinfecting liquid-absorbing product, such as a sanitary napkin, a compress or a diaper, comprising a liquid absorbing material and inside the product at a distance from its outer edges a substance, which gives off oxygen in contact with moisture. A liquid-absorbing product into which can be inserted an insert such as a deodorizing strip or powder which gives off oxygen when in contact with moisture, which product is divided into essentially identical essentially rectangular or square pad-formed parts joined together by a thin flexible joint in such a manner that the parts can be placed on top of one another by folding the joint and then forming the product in the form in which it is to be used. A process for production of the two-part liquid-absorbing product by forming two thin, essentially square or rectangular pads, laying the pads side by side with two sides parallel and with a gap between them on a web of jacket material with the gap parallel to the longitudinal direction of the web, the width of the web being somewhat larger than the circumference around the pads laying side by side, folding the web lengthwise around the outer edges of the pads and joining the edges of the web on top of one pad so that the pads will lie enclosed by a sleeve, cutting off the web on either side of the pads, joining the two layers of jacket material in the gap between pads by glueing or fusing and either forming a seam in the jacket ends outside the pads in the plane of the pads or folding the product along the gap and laying the pads on top of each other and then forming a flat seam in the four layers of jacket material outside the pads along the intermediate surface between the pads or tying the jacket layers in a knot on each side of the pads.
