Abstract

Abstract Translated from German In einer Wegwerfwindel mit einer flüssigkeitsdurchlässigen oberen Schicht (1), z.B. aus einem Faservlies, einer flüssig­keitsundurchlässigen unteren Schicht (2), z.B. aus einem Kunststoffilm und einem Saugkern (3), der zwischen den beiden Lagen eingesetzt ist, sind ein Auslaufen von Ausscheidungen verhindernde Mittel vorgesehen, die um die Schenkel oder um die Hüfte eines Trägers herumgelegt sind. Diese ein Auslaufen verhindernden Mittel bestehen aus einer biegsamen Klappe (7), z.B. aus einem Faservlies und einem elastischen Teil (11), z.B. aus Gummi. Die Klappe (7) wird von einem sich vom Haupt­körper der Windel nach oben erstreckenden Stützteil (8), ei­nem sich von dem Stützteil (8) nach innen erstreckenden inne­ren Zweigabschnitt (9) und von einem sich von dem Stützab­schnitt (8) nach außen erstreckenden äußeren Zweigabschnitt (10) gebildet. Die elastischen Teile sind in den inneren (9) und den äußeren (10) Zweigabschnitt eingearbeitet und bilden elastische Falten aus. Die inneren und äußeren Zweigab­schnitte (9,10) werden beim Anlegen der Windel um die Schen­kel und/oder um die Hüfte des Trägers gepreßt und bilden eine wirkungsvolle Abdichtung. Der Stützabschnitt (8) und der nach innen ragende Zweigabschnitt (9) bilden zusammen eine Tasche, in der die Ausscheidungen gesammelt werden. In a disposable diaper with a liquid-permeable upper layer (1), for example made of a non-woven fabric, a liquid-impermeable lower layer (2), for example made of a plastic film and a absorbent core (3), which is inserted between the two layers, excretions prevent leakage Means are provided which are placed around the thighs or around the waist of a wearer. These means preventing leakage consist of a flexible flap (7), for example of a non-woven fabric and an elastic part (11), for example of rubber. The flap (7) is formed by a support part (8) which extends upwards from the main body of the diaper, an inner branch section (9) which extends inwards from the support part (8) and which extends outwards from the support section (8) outer branch section (10) formed. The elastic parts are worked into the inner (9) and the outer (10) branch section and form elastic folds. The inner and outer branch sections (9, 10) are pressed around the thighs and / or around the waist of the wearer when the diaper is put on and form an effective seal. The support section (8) and the inwardly projecting branch section (9) together form a pocket in which the excretions are collected. Abstract Abstract A disposable diaper of the type wherein an absorbent member such as cotton-like pulp is covered with a liquid-­permeable top sheet such as a non-woven fabric and a liquid-impermeable back sheet such as a plastic film comprises lea­kage-proofing means around the legs and/or the waiste. The leakage-proofing means consists of a flexible flap such as a non-woven fabric and a flexible member such as rubber. The flap consists of a leg portion (8) projecting upward from a diaper body and inner and outer branches (9, 10) extending inward and outward from the leg portion. The flexible mem­ber is fitted to the branches (9, 10) to serve as contractive flexible gathers. The branches (9, 10) comes into flexible and pressure contact with the body (around the thigh and/or the waiste) of a wearer to form a seal.
