Abstract
Abstract An insect repellant assembly capable of being removably secured at a desired location on a user or on a user''s garment, which assembly includes a relatively small pad of a liquid absorbant material that holds a quantity of the repellant therein. The pad overlies a major portion of a first side of a pliable sheet barrier that is impervious to the repellant. The second side of the barrier has a film of pressure sensitive adhesive thereon. A number of pliable protective sheets are included as a part of the assembly, which sheets, prior to the assembly being used for insect repellant purposes extend over the pad and film to protect the same from inadvertent contact by a user. When it is desired to use the assembly for insect repellant purposes, the protective sheets are stripped therefrom, and the adhesive film used to removably hold the assembly on a desired portion of a user or a user''s garment.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
279 words
A device for use in maintaining a quantity of a volatile insect repellant adjacent a desired portion of the human body without said insect repellant being in contact with said portion, said device comprising: a. a first sheet of pliable material that is impervious to said insect repellant, said sheet having first and second sides; b. a pad of absorbent material secured to a first side of said first sheet, said pad being of sufficient volume to absorb said quantity of insect repellant; c. first adhesive means that cover at least a portion of said second side of said first sheet to permit said first sheet to be removably secured to said desired portion of the human body on the exterior surface of clothing covering said portion; d. a hollow frame of a material impervious to said insect repellant that extends completely around said pad and with said frame secured to said first side of said first sheet; e. at least one second pliable sheet that extends over said adhesive means and is lightly bonded thereto, said second sheet being removable from said adhesive means to permit said first sheet to be removably secured to said desired portion of the human body; f. at least one third sheet of a material impervious to said insect repellant that extends across said frame outwardly from said pad, said first sheet, frame and third sheet cooperating to define a confined space in which said pad is disposed; and g. means for removably sealing said third sheet to said frame to prevent said pad in said confined space from communicating with the ambient atmosphere until said third sheet is removed from said frame.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
279 words
A device for use in maintaining a quantity of a volatile insect repellant adjacent a desired portion of the human body without said insect repellant being in contact with said portion, said device comprising: a. a first sheet of pliable material that is impervious to said insect repellant, said sheet having first and second sides; b. a pad of absorbent material secured to a first side of said first sheet, said pad being of sufficient volume to absorb said quantity of insect repellant; c. first adhesive means that cover at least a portion of said second side of said first sheet to permit said first sheet to be removably secured to said desired portion of the human body on the exterior surface of clothing covering said portion; d. a hollow frame of a material impervious to said insect repellant that extends completely around said pad and with said frame secured to said first side of said first sheet; e. at least one second pliable sheet that extends over said adhesive means and is lightly bonded thereto, said second sheet being removable from said adhesive means to permit said first sheet to be removably secured to said desired portion of the human body; f. at least one third sheet of a material impervious to said insect repellant that extends across said frame outwardly from said pad, said first sheet, frame and third sheet cooperating to define a confined space in which said pad is disposed; and g. means for removably sealing said third sheet to said frame to prevent said pad in said confined space from communicating with the ambient atmosphere until said third sheet is removed from said frame.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
21 words
A device as defined in claim 1 in which said first adhesive means is a layer of a pressure sensitive adhesive.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
23 words
A device as defined in claim 1 in which first sheet, pad, frame and second sheet, and third sheet are circular in shape.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
34 words
A device as defined in claim 3 in which said second and third sheets are defined by second and third pairs of generally semi-circular segments that overlap and are removably bonded to one another.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
251 words
A device as defined in claim 1 in which said second and third sheets are defined by second and third pairs of segments that overlap and are remOvably bonded to one another. 6. A device for use in maintaining a quantity of a volatile insect repellant adjacent a desired portion of the human body without said insect repellant being in contact with said portion, said device comprising: a. a first sheet of pliable material that is impervious to said insect repellant, said sheet having first and second sides; b. a pad of absorbent material secured to a first side of said first sheet, said pad being of sufficient volume to absorb said quantity of insect repellant; c. first adhesive means that cover at least a portion of said second side of said first sheet to permit said first sheet to be removably secured to said desired portion of the human body on the exterior surface of clothing covering said portion; and d. an inverted cup shaped member that includes an end wall from which a continuous side wall extends inwardly and is secured to said first side of said first strip, said end wall having a plurality of spaced openings therein, said cup shaped member cooperating with said first strip to provide a confined space in which said pad is disposed, with said insect repellant as it vaporizes passing outwardly to the ambient atmosphere through said openings, and said cup shaped member formed from a material impervious to said insect repellant.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
69 words
A device as defined in claim 6 which in addition includes: e. a second sheet formed from a pliable material impervious to said insect repellant; and f. first means for removably holding said second sheet in sealing contact with the exterior surface of said end wall, with said device not being actuated to repell insects until said second sheet is removed from said sealing contact with said end wall.
