Definitions

  • the present invention concerns an absorbent article sucjh as a towel, turban, capes or the like.
  • the invention relates to disposable absorbent articles.
  • Absorbent articles such as towels, capes, etc. are generally formed from woven cotton or the like, and are used in a large number of commercial applications such as in hairdressers, swimming pools, gyms, health spas., etc. Whilst such articles perform satisfactorily, there are a number of drawbacks ⁇ vhen using same.
  • One material known to have the properties of absorbency and strength when wet is spun lace hydro entanglement rayon. It is known to use this material to provide products that absorb liquid and hold the liquid within the material. However all known products produced from this material are provided saturated with a liquid i.e. in a wet state. Their purpose is to use the material to produce wet products.
  • Prior art caps consists of people either using a normal towel for wrapping and tying up their hair, a textile based head turban or a plastic cap. Such caps are generally reusable and not disposable. They are also bulky and more awkward to attach. If a colorant is being used, it will also stain the textile material. This makes the textile material unsightly for future use.
  • US Patent Publication No. US20030029872 entitled "Spill preventing paper holder for use during hair dye applications” attempts to overcome the problem associated with towels by providing a neck seal.
  • a plastic spill prevention paper holder is described, which comprises a tray fitted around the neck. The tray is adapted to enable a sheet of paper to be placed into it in order to soak up any spillages.
  • a technique which requires the tray to be loaded with a sheet of paper results is a much more awkward, messy and ineffective technique.
  • head lice lotion A problem with head lice lotion is the danger of cross contamination when towels are used to dry ones hair. Head lice treatments are insecticidal in nature, so it is preferable not to have these chemicals spreading onto other surfaces or people beyond what is intended. There is also the problem of the possibility of cross or continued infection carrying on from the first infestation.
  • the present invention seeks to overcome the problems associated with existing absorbent articles. Summary of Invention
  • the present invention provides, as set out in the appended claims, a disposable absorbent article comprising a spun lace non-woven web and wherein the absorbent article is substantially moisture free.
  • liquid proof membrane layer is provided on one surface of the web.
  • the liquid proof membrane layer may comprise of a plastic film layer or a layer of polyethylene film
  • the content of the web comprises between 50 and 100% rayon and up to 30%) polyester.
  • the web is formed by hydro entanglement.
  • the web has a density of between 30 and 80 g/m .
  • the web is formed from hydrophilic fibres.
  • the web is impregnated with a dye retainer or the like.
  • the dye retainer absorbs any dye in the web and prevents dye from penetrating through the disposable absorbent article.
  • the web is formed from a recyclable material.
  • the absorbent article maybe one of the following: a towel, a turban, a glove, a cape, a cap, an apron or a mat.
  • the cape is adapted to fit around the neck of a user.
  • Figure 1 illustrates one use of an absorbent article according to one aspect of the present invention.
  • Figure 2 illustrates a second use of an absorbent article according to another aspect of the present invention.
  • Figure 3 illustrates a third use of an absorbent article according to a further aspect of the present invention.
  • Figure 4 illustrates fourth use of an absorbent article according to another aspect of the present invention.
  • the present invention provides a novel application of a material, in particular the use of a spun lace non- woven web to produce absorbent articles such as towels, capes, etc., in order to produce products which have significant moisture absorbing capabilities, while being of significantly reduced weight and volume when compared with conventional woven cotton products or the like.
  • the fibres chosen to produce the spun lace web will determine the characteristics of the finished fabric.
  • the fabric will generally be a mixture of cellulose and synthetic fibres, such as nylon, acrylic, or polyethylene.
  • the web is made of between 50%o and 100%> rayon fibres spun into the web by means of hydro entanglement.
  • the process of making viscose rayon involves several steps. Firstly, the cellulose pulp is steeped by immersing it in liquid sodium hydroxide at a temperature of 18c to 25c. This process swells the cellulose fibres and converts the cellulose to alkali cellulose.
  • the swollen alkali cellulose mass is then pressed to a wet equivalent of approximately 3 times the original pulp weight, so as to obtain an accurate ratio of alkali to cellulose.
  • the pressed alkali cellulose is shredded mechanically to give finely divided particles. This step provides an increased surface area of alkali cellulose, and results in an increase in its ability to react during the next steps of the process.
  • the alkali cellulose After pressing, the alkali cellulose is aged under controlled conditions of time and temperature, in order to depolymerise the cellulose. During this stage of the process the average weight of each molecule of pulp will be reduced, the object being to provide a viscose solution with the ratio of viscosity and cellulose concentrate.
  • the aged alkali cellulose pieces are then placed in storage containers and allowed to react with carbon disulphide to form cellulose xanthate.
  • the crumb is dissolved in a liquid caustic solution.
  • the large xanthate particles attached to the cellulose force the fibres apart, reducing the strength of the group of fibres thereby allowing water molecules to separate the chains, leading to solution of an other wise insoluble cellulose.
  • the viscose is then allowed to ripen for a period of time.
  • two important processes occur, namely redistribution, and the loss of the xanthate groups.
  • the reversible xanthation reaction allows some of the xanthate groups to revert to cellulosic hydroxyls and free CS2.
  • This free CS2 can then escape or react with other hydroxyl on the other portions of the cellulose chain.
  • the crystalline structure is thus gradually broken down and a more complete solution is achieved.
  • the solubility of the cellulose is reduced, and this facilitates the regeneration of the cellulose after it is formed into a filament.
  • the viscose In order to remove undissolved materials, the viscose is then filtered. If it were not filtered at this stage, the undissolved materials would disrupt the spinning process. This could cause possible defects in the rayon filament.
  • the next step of the process is the removal of bubbles of air trapped in the viscose by degassing. These air bubbles would cause weakness in the fine filaments if they were not removed.
  • the viscose solution is then fed into a spin bath containing sulphuric acid, sodium sulphate and zinc sulphate. This results in the rapid coagulation of the rayon filament. This is followed by simultaneous stretching and decomposition of cellulose xanthate to regenerated cellulose.
  • the rayon filaments are then stretched while the cellulose chains are still relatively supple. This causes the chains to stretch out and orient along the axis of the fibre.
  • the freshly regenerated rayon contains many impurities which need to be removed. There exist a number of different washing techniques which may be used to remove these.
  • the fibre web is formed, it is consolidated. This is achieved by mechanical bonding the web by the method of hydro entanglement. This entangles the fibres to give strength to the web.
  • the process of hydroentanglement of the web utilises jets of water at high speed, directed against a web of fibres, such that the fibres are tangled or knotted about one another. This involves a number of sequential steps, namely the initial formation of a precursor web, the subsequent entanglement of the web, the circulation of water out of the web, and finally the drying of the web.
  • the precursor web may be an air laid or carded web (a "dry laid" web), or may alternatively be a wet laid web.
  • the precursor web is generally first wetted and compacted in order to reduce or eliminate any air pockets which may be contained therein.
  • the precursor web Once the precursor web has been so pretreated, it is then exposed to an array of water jets, whose pressure will normally increase from the leading to the trailing edge of the array of water jets. The action of the water jets striking the web forces the fibres to become entangled.
  • the precursor web will normally be drawn over a conveying roller, which is generally wire or mesh like in form, and across which a negative pressure is applied in order to draw the used water from the web, in order to prevent flooding of the web, which would reduce the entanglement effect of the water jets thereon.
  • the fabric or web will normally be passed over a second conveying roller, exposing the reverse side of the fabric, in order to effect entanglement of same. These steps may be repeated a number of times until the desired level of entanglement has been achieved.
  • the web can be impregnated with a dye retainer or the like. The dye retainer absorbs any dye absorbed by the web and prevents dye from penetrating through the disposable absorbent article.
  • the entangled web is then de-watered by passing through a suitable de-watering device, following which the fabric is dried.
  • spun lace fabric has a number of beneficial properties which make it suitable for use to produce absorbent articles. Its properties include high strength and conformability. In particular, spun lace produced fabrics possess the property of substantial water absorption.
  • the spun lace fibre also has the added advantage of being soft and comfortable to the skin.
  • such fibres easily absorb dye and drape easily and naturally.
  • these fibres provide an even and uniform distribution of additives throughout the whole of the fibre structure, when compared to other materials, which would only allow the additives onto the surface.
  • This material also has the added benefit of being recyclable and bio-degradable.
  • hydrophilic fibres For the application of spun lace webs to the manufacture of absorbent articles, use of hydrophilic fibres is greatly preferred, obviously due to their water retention capabilities. However, it has also surprisingly been found that hydrophilic fibres entangle more easily than hydrophobic fibres, due to the higher drag forces therebetween. It has however been found that the greater the hydroentangling energy used, and therefore the greater the entanglement of the fibres forming the web, the lesser the absorbent capacity of the web.
  • the dried fabric manufactured using the above described process may be cut to any desired shape to form a particular absorbent articles. It will be appreciated that any type of article may be made which would benefit from the properties of the absorbent material.
  • a number of embodiments of absorbent articles in accordance with the present invention are now described.
  • One article which may be made using the above described spun lace material is a disposable towel, as illustrated in Figure 1 used for drying hair.
  • the towel is made of between 50 and 100%> viscose rayon material and is made by means of the above described spun lace hydro entanglement. This will give the towels all the properties of both the material used, and the method used in its production, as mentioned above, namely high absorbency, strength, softness and natural drapability.
  • the use of 100% viscose rayon specification will give the highest absorption while maintaining strength. It has been found that using viscose rayon of below 50%) is not suitable to provide sufficient absorption.
  • the towel can be cut to any desired size and folded in any means suitable for its end use or packaging requirements.
  • FIG. 2 Another article which may be made using the above described spun lace material is a head wrap/turban as illustrated in Figure 2.
  • a towel may also be used as a modified turban.
  • Such a head wrap/turban may be used for example after washing hair and/or colouring hair.
  • the turban can be made from 100% viscose rayon material made by means of spun lace hydro entanglement for maximum absorption.
  • the turban is designed, cut and shaped to fit a person's head, as illustrated in Figure 2.
  • the hair is held up by means of attachment at either the front or the back.
  • the wrap has an elasticated bottom rim to allow a seal (not shown) be created around the hairline. This product enables hair to be tied up comfortably and safely, while at the same time acting to absorb any liquid still contained within the hair.
  • this head wrap made of this absorbent material provides a number of advantages over existing head wraps.
  • Typical head wraps are in the form of textile based head turban, or involve people using a normal towel and wrapping it up.
  • these prior art turbans are not disposable, and are also more bulky and awkward to attach.
  • a colorant is being used on the head prior to the fitting of the head wrap, it will also stain the textile material making it unsightly for future use.
  • the head wrap of Figure 2 made of the absorbent material of the present invention also has applications in situations where something has been in contact with the hair, which it is not desirable to have passed on, for example, head lice chemical treatment. These head wraps can be used effectively and safely, and then be disposed of. This therefore does away with any potential for cross contamination.
  • the cap can be designed, cut and shaped to fit all head sizes. It allows hair to be wrapped up into it and held up by means of an elastic rim along the base of the cap that will create a seal along the hairline.
  • Such a cap is suitable for example for washing hair and/or colouring hair. It allows the hair to be tied up comfortably and safely while at the same time acting to absorb any liquid still contained within the hair.
  • the cap will also have applications in situations where something has been in contact with the hair, which it is not desirable to have passed on for example, head lice chemical treatment.
  • the cap can be used effectively and safely, and then be disposed of, thereby doing away with any potential for cross contamination.
  • the property that spun lace materials can be impregnated with various chemicals or coated in a variety of ways is made use of in the design of the absorbent articles.
  • a thin film of plastic type material is coated on one surface of the spun lace fibre material, so as to form a liquid proof membrane on one side, while maintaining absorbency on the other.
  • such an absorbent article is made of two layers of material.
  • One side of such an absorbent article is made of spun lace rayon. This side is therefore highly absorbent, soft to the touch and strong when wet.
  • the other side of the absorbent article is provided a layer of PE (polyethylene) film, heat sealed onto the rayon layer.
  • This layer will act as a liquid resistant layer preventing liquid, especially colorant/dye from penetrating through the material.
  • One such absorbent article which may be coated in this way is a dye resistant shoulder cape, as illustrated in Figure 3.
  • the cape is draped over the shoulders of a person or individual.
  • the absorbent material of the cape is provided on one side with a layer of PE film, forming a liquid resistant layer.
  • the shoulder cape is designed and shaped to fit neatly and comfortably around the neck, and drape naturally over the shoulders, providing the best level of protection from liquid, such as dripping colorant, as illustrated in Figure 3.
  • the neck cut out of the cape is set back into the body of the cape with the ability to pull the front sides of the cape tighter to the neck, in order to create a good seal.
  • a double sided pull off sticking device is attached to one side of the cape neck seal (not shown). The sticking device can be moved in or out, in order to provide an adjustable means of fitting the cape comfortably to an individual neck.
  • the production of the cape from the absorbent article of the present invention results in a highly effective means of trapping liquid as it drips from hair when compared to prior art techniques.
  • the cape made from the absorbent material of the present invention will absorb the liquid into the spun lace layer, thus preventing it from soaking tlirough onto the clothes or body of the person, while the plastic coating prevents the liquid from penetrating right through the article.
  • Another application which is suitable for incorporating the absorbent material of the present invention is a dye resistant placement mat.
  • the shoulder cape it comprises two layers of material.
  • One side will consist of 100% spun lace rayon. This side will be highly absorbent, soft to the touch, and strong when wet.
  • the other side will consist of a layer of PE (polyethylene) film heat sealed onto the rayon layer. This layer will act as a liquid resistant layer preventing liquid, especially colorant/dye from penetrating through.
  • the mat can be of any size or shape depending on the end usage.
  • the absorbent side is adapted to be placed face up, while the resistant side is adapted to be placed face down onto the surface.
  • the mat prevents liquid from seeping through onto the work surface thereby avoiding any damage or discoloration to work surfaces of a particular area. Furthermore, the mat can simply be disposed of when it is no longer required, leaving the work surface/area clean and damage free.
  • the apron is made of two layers of material, with one side consisting of spun lace rayon providing a highly absorbent, soft to the touch and strong when wet material, and with the other side consisting of a layer of PE film, heat sealed onto the rayon layer, which acts as a liquid resistant layer.
  • the apron is designed with a neck strap for hanging around the head and straps for fastening around the waist of a user.
  • the dye / liquid absorbing layer will be on the outside, in order to catch the liquids, while the resistant layer will be on the inside to protect the clothes of the person.
  • the apron incorporating the absorbent material of the present invention is highly absorbent, strong, soft to the touch, comfortable to wear, disposable and biodegradable. Consequently, it is highly effective at trapping colorant/dye/liquid as it drips from hair, absorbing the liquid into the spun lace layer, while preventing it from soaking through onto the clothes or body of the stylist.
  • the apron can be disposed of at the end of a working day or after a single use.
  • Another application incorporating the material of the present invention is a mitt or glove. As in the case of a number of the previously described applications, the mitt using the absorbent material of the present invention is made up of two layers of material.
  • One side will consist of spun lace rayon, to provide a side which is highly absorbent, soft to the touch, and strong when wet.
  • the other side will consist of a layer of PE film heat sealed onto the rayon layer. This layer will act as a liquid resistant layer preventing liquid, especially colorant/dye from penetrating through.
  • the mitt of the present invention is provided with the resistant layer on the inside to protect the hands of the person applying the process.
  • the outer layer of the mitt is absorbent. This absorbent layer will soak up the item being applied, for example tanning cream, sometimes called 'fake' tan. In addition, it also allows the applier to distribute the substance evenly and cleanly to the surface without getting their hands covered in the substance.
  • the mitt can be inverted for different applications so that the soft side is touching the hand and the resistant side is placed on the outside, blocking seepage through to the hand but also not absorbing the material being applied. This would be appropriate when applying an expensive lotion where it is not desired to waste by absorbing it into the material.
  • the mitt of the absorbent material of the present invention provides a number of advantages when compared to prior art mitts.
  • ordinary latex, plastic, or vinyl gloves would be used to apply the dye or tanning lotions.
  • the feel and touch of plastic/latex gloves on the skin is not very pleasant and the lotion can be wasted by getting trapped in between the fingers.
  • the resistant mitt ensures less wastage of lotion, nicer touch on skin and no more dyed or tanned palms of the person applying the lotions.
  • hydroentangled webs for producing absorbent articles results in a product which is extremely compact and light weight, yet highly absorbent, and which has significant strength and pliability.
  • the fabric may be impregnated with a dye retainer or the like.
  • the properties of this spun lace material enable a thin film of plastic type material to be coated on one surface of the spun lace fibre material, so as to form a liquid proof membrane on one side, while maintaining absorbency on the other.
