Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a self-contained baby care kit that includes a case having a subsequent use.
  • the self-contained baby care kit is particularly useful for babies that wear diapers and like absorbent articles.
  • the birth of a child is often one of the most important and joyous moments in the life of a parent.
  • the joy a parent may have with the birth of a child may be tempered by significant stress and anxiety, especially for first-time parents who have not developed the skills necessary to care for a newborn baby.
  • Parents are often confused about basic baby care topics such as feeding, hygiene, and development. Adding to this confusion is an overload of information received by means such as promotions, samples, offers, pamphlets, books, television, and other routes of communication. By combining the parents' own confusion about baby care along with the information overload they experience, parents often will make care decision based on necessity rather than upon analysis of the information received.
  • sample packages of items such as diapers and wipes tend to be limited in number, and, as a result, offer limited opportunity for the parents to explore and learn about the product.
  • a sample package containing 1 or 2 diapers generally will not allow the parents to explore the unique benefits provided by the diaper.
  • this may be the first time they have ever applied a diaper.
  • These parents may need to apply several diapers before they feel comfortable with diapering.
  • a sample package containing a small quantity of diapers may not be sufficient.
  • the present invention provides a product that can convey an informative message to parents over a prolonged period of time.
  • the present invention is directed to a kit that presents parents with a baby care product contained within a storage case that has a secondary use of storing items such as for example baby related mementos.
  • Educational information may also be contained within the storage case to provide instruction and advice to parents.
  • the present invention relates to a self-contained reusable baby care kit comprising a storage case, the case being suited for an initial use of storing at least one baby care product and a subsequent use of storing a subsequent item such as a baby related memento.
  • the kit may include at least one baby care product and/or at least one educational insert within the storage case.
  • the kit includes baby care products in the form of a plurality of diapers and/or a plurality of wipes.
  • the educational insert may be a subsequent use insert, an indexing insert, an additional information insert, a product information insert, a stage of development insert, or combinations thereof.
  • Fig. 1 is a perspective view of one embodiment of a self-contained baby care kit shown as it may be carried.
  • Fig. 2 is an exploded view of one embodiment of a self-contained baby care kit shown as it may be used.
  • Fig. 3 is an exploded view of one embodiment of a self-contained baby care kit showing the contents of this one embodiment.
  • Fig. 4 is a perspective view of one embodiment of the case in its subsequent use as a photograph box.
  • the term "absorbent article” refers to devices which absorb and contain body exudates and, more specifically, refers to devices which are placed against or in proximity to the body of the wearer to absorb and contain the various exudates discharged from the body.
  • the term “absorbent article” includes devices such as incontinence briefs, incontinence undergarments, absorbent inserts, pant type garments (e.g., pants are also commonly referred to as “closed diapers”, “prefastened diapers”, “pull-on diapers”, “training pants,” and “diaper-pants"), diaper holders and liners.
  • the term "disposable” describes absorbent articles which generally are not intended to be laundered or otherwise restored or reused as absorbent articles (i.e., they are intended to be discarded after a single use and, preferably, to be recycled, composted or otherwise discarded in an environmentally compatible manner.
  • stages of development or “developmental stage” refers to the level of emotional and cognitive maturity and/or the physical abilities of an individual of a baby and includes locomotion, mobility, motor skills, and coordination.
  • Baby-related memento means any item that is saved as a reminder of a baby's past. Generally, such items are saved by a caregiver and more specifically a parent. Baby-related mementos may include for example photographs, birth certificates, hand imprints, foot imprints, clothing, locks of hair, hospital wrist bands, caregiver notes or reflections, booties, hat, and the like.
  • the term "caregiver” refers to a person is responsible for the care needs of a baby.
  • the caregiver is the person who is responsible for the diaper changing needs of the baby.
  • the caregiver can include for example a parent, a grandparent, any relative, a babysitter, a nanny, a preschool teacher, and the like.
  • the caregiver is the person most likely to interact with the kit of the present invention.
  • the term “baby” refers to a child who still wears an absorbent article to absorb and contain the various exudates at the rate of at least one per week.
  • the term “baby” may include for example newborn, premature babies, infants, toddlers, and incontinent children.
  • graphics refers to any design, pattern, or the like that is or becomes visible and specifically includes text messages that consist of one or more alphanumeric symbols, pictorial images that consist of one or more pictures, and combinations thereof.
  • Figure 1 is a perspective view of a self-contained baby care kit 10 having a subsequent use.

  • the case 12 is sized such that, in its initial use of storing a baby-care product, unoccupied space (i.e., space not occupied by the baby-care product) is kept to a minimum.
  • the hexahedral shape and size of the case 12 are beneficial in that they allow for storage of one or more baby care products and subsequent storage of one or more baby care mementos while still allowing for easy palletization, transport, and delivery.
  • the shape of the storage case 12 is not limited to the hexahedral shape as shown in Fig. 1.

  • the kit 10 contains newborn-size diapers.
  • the diapers 50 may be packaged as a self-contained unit.
  • the self-contained unit results in a plurality of diapers 50 being bound to one another in order to improve delivery and handling.
  • the self-contained unit is defined by numerous diapers 50 bound together as an entity and covered by a thermoplastic film overwrap as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,934,470 issued to Bauer et al. on Aug. 10, 1999. Other means of achieving a self-contained unit are clearly envisioned.

  • the self-contained unit may contain an opening means to allow access to the diapers 50.
  • the kit 10 may require activation so that the article becomes accessible (e.g., opening of a lid, removal of a panel, etc.).
  • a typical opening means includes a substantially continuous line of weakness such as perforations within the thermoplastic film overwrap.
  • An exemplary opening means is presented in U.S. Pat. App. No. 5,036,978 issued to Frank et al. on August 6, 1991.

Wipes 42 are particularly useful and frequently used for cleansing during diaper changes. Wipes 42 may be made of a material impregnated with a liquid or semi-liquid composition. The material of the wipes 42 is generally soft and flexible. The material may have relatively high values of texture, caliper, and bulk for increased absorbency and cleansing.
