DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

(4) Embodiments of the present invention will now be described, by way of example only, with reference to the accompanying drawings.

(5) As shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 3, a preferred embodiment of the present invention comprises a flexible rubber body 10. The flexible rubber body 10 includes a first retaining portion 11, a first connecting portion 12, a main body portion 13, a second connecting portion 14, and a second retaining portion 15 which are integrally formed and connected in sequence. An inner side of the first retaining portion 11 and an inner side of the second retaining portion 15 are provided with primary Velcro retaining straps 20. An inner side of the main body portion 13 is formed with a recess 101 for installing a small-sized detective sensor 30. The inner side of the main body portion 13 is provided with an auxiliary Velcro retaining strap 40. The auxiliary Velcro retaining strap 40 is located beside the recess 101.

(6) In this embodiment, the flexible rubber body 10 is made of a silicone material. An outer side of the main body portion 13 has a press portion 102 for the user to press a control button 31 of the small-sized detective sensor 30. The first connecting portion 12 and the second connecting portion 14 are provided with a plurality of perforations 103 to enhance the air permeability and also to enhance the elastic force of the first connecting portion 12 and the second connecting portion 14. The width of the first connecting portion 12 and the second connecting portion 14 is less than the width of the first retaining portion 11, the main body portion 13, and the second retaining portion 15.

(7) The primary Velcro retaining strap 20 is a Velcro strap having dense and small hooks and loops. The auxiliary Velcro retaining strap 40 is also a Velcro strap having dense and small hooks and loops. In this embodiment, the number of the auxiliary Velcro retaining strap 40 is two, and the two auxiliary Velcro retaining straps 40 are symmetrically disposed at two sides of the recess 101. The auxiliary Velcro retaining strap 40 has an arc shape.

(8) The small-sized detective sensor 30 may be used for urine detection, rapid eye movement sleep detection, and the like. The product is mainly composed of a detection module, such as a temperature and humidity sensor, and a Bluetooth or a wireless communication module. The specific structure and working principle are prior art. The specific structure and working principle of the detective sensor 30 are not described hereinafter.

(9) The details of the use of this embodiment are as follows:

(10) In use, the small-sized detective sensor 30 is mounted in the recess 101, and then the small-sized detective sensor 30 is placed at a detection position to get contact with the outer surface of a paper diaper. The auxiliary Velcro retaining straps 40 are attached to the outer surface of the paper diaper, so that the small-sized detective sensor 30 is held in close contact with the paper diaper. After that, the first retaining portion 11 and the second retaining portion 15 are respectively tensioned toward both sides, and then the two primary Velcro retaining straps 20 are respectively adhered to the two sides of the outer surface of the paper diaper. In addition, the small-sized detective sensor 30 is firmly fixed and adhered to the outer surface of the paper diaper. The small-sized detective sensor 30 won't be detached from the paper diaper due to a large swing, thereby effectively enhancing the accuracy and reliability of the small-sized detective sensor 30.

(11) The feature of the present invention is that the flexible rubber body is provided with the recess for installing the small-sized detective sensor, the primary Velcro retaining straps, and the auxiliary Velcro retaining straps, so that the small-sized detective sensor is firmly fixed and attached to the outer surface of the paper diaper. The small-sized detective sensor won't be detached from the paper diaper due to a large swing, thereby effectively enhancing the accuracy and reliability of the small-sized detective sensor.

(12) Although particular embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail for purposes of illustration, various modifications and enhancements may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Accordingly, the present invention is not to be limited except as by the appended claims.
