Filed 3/13/96. Issued 3/19/02. A sanitary napkin to prevent an undergarment from soiling has been patented. The acruate article features a longitudinal centerline cen·ter·line n. 1. A line that bisects something into equal parts. 2. A painted line running along the center of a road or highway that divides it into two sections for traffic moving in opposite directions, or, in the case of defining a longitudinal direction and a central absorbent body having a body-facing side, a transverse centerline and longitudinal edges. The absorbent body comprises a liquid pervious per·vi·ous adj. Open to passage or entrance; permeable. topsheet and a liquid Impervious backsheet joined to the topsheet. The absorbent core is located between the topsheet and backsheet. There Is a means of attaching the central absorbent body to the undergarment disposed on the central absorbent body. A pair of laterally extending elastic flaps, extensible in the longitudinal direction, features a first portion operating as a proximal edge being joined to the central absorbent body, an extensible, elastic second portion extending laterally outward to a distal edge positioned outwardly away from the central absorbent body of the sanitary napkin. A second portion of the flap is elastically extensible with a vector component in the longitudinal directi on. The elastic flaps are attached in a longitudinally extended condition to the central absorbent body the first portion to provide a contractive force which causes the central absorbent body at the first portion to provide a contractive force which causes the central absorbent body to assume an acruate configuration on the transverse centerline where the body facing side of the central absorbent body has a concave Concave Property that a curve is below a straight line connecting two end points. If the curve falls above the straight line, it is called convex. configuration. A contractive force is caused by the extensible, elastic portions of the elastic flaps. |
