Benefits of technology

The technical effect of this patented technology is that it allows for better control over how much water vapor enters an absorption material compared to traditional methods like adding layers or sticking particles on top. This helps maintain good performance even when there are changes in temperature and humidity levels.

Problems solved by technology

This patent describes different types of absorbent pads made of various materials like foams, plastic films, and combinations thereof. These pads have several technical problem addressed in this patent: they require a lot of space due to their thickness, flexibility, and durability, making them challenges to dispose after use without causing damage to sensitive areas around them. Additionally, these pads lose some of its effectiveness over time due to wear and tear caused by repeated usage.

Embodiment Construction

[0021] In FIG. 1, there is shown an absorbent pad 10 for reducing injury attributed to moisture in direct contact with an individual's skin. The top layer 20 is generally a woven fabric such as cotton or polyester or a combination thereof. Alternatively, the top layer can be formed from a knit polyester or cotton combination.

[0022] The absorbent core 30 is generally formed from a combination of polyester and rayon and / or viscose blended together. When 100% polyester yarn is used the blend is formed and the non-woven layer needle punched. The layer can have weights varying from 3 ounces per square yard up to 15 ounces per square yard and include 65% polyester and 35% rayon blended with a particulate. However, as would be understood by those skilled in the art, the ratio of polyester to rayon can vary depending on the final product requirements.

[0023] The bottom layer or backing 40 is generally a strong hydrophobic material typically made from a polyethylene which maintains fluid fro

Abstract

The present invention provides for an absorbent pad for absorbing liquids exuded from a body, comprising a planar body having a top surface, a bottom surface and an outer perimeter defining a middle portion; a particulate blended and dispersed within at least one of the top surface, the bottom surface or the middle portion of the planar body; the particulate has greater absorbent characteristics than the planar body, is less than or equal to ¼″ in dimension and is peat moss.
