DIAPER SYSTEM

Abstract

The present invention provides for and improved diaper system including a proximal structure, a distal structure, and a securing configuration incorporated with the system, whereby each of the proximal structure and distal structure are constructing a range with one or more water absorbent polymers and have therein an interior cavity.

Claims

1. A diaper system comprising: a distal structure; a proximal structure; an accordion fold structure separating each of said proximal and distal structures; a single interior cavity formed within each of said proximal and distal structures, wherein said accordion fold structure is constructed and arranged to provide a volume increase as said interior cavity is filled with matter; a cavity opening on said proximal structure leading to said single interior cavity; and a securing structure having securing structure opening congruous to said cavity opening and further including releasable adhesive on a proximal surface of said securing structure.

2. The diaper system of claim 1 wherein said distal structure and said proximal structure are congruous.

3. The diaper system of claim 1 further including an interior border defining an interior opening.

4. The diaper system of claim 1 further including a substantially circular interior border defining a substantially circular interior opening.

5. The diaper system of claim 1 further including an oval interior border defining an oval interior opening.

6. The diaper system of claim 1 wherein said distal layer and said proximal layer are formed of one or more water absorbent polymers.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0044] Diaper system 10 is formed with proximal structure 12 and distal structure 14. As used herein, proximal will refer to those directions intended to be closer to the person wearing the system of the present invention and distal are those directions away from the wearer. Proximal structure 12 has proximal surface 16. Distal structure 14 has distal surface 18. Each of the proximal and distal structures as described herein and understood by the figures form a single contiguous structure with an interior cavity for collecting waste matter. These structures together form a storage configuration for system 10. They are two portions of a single system. Single interior cavity 17 is formed on the interior and encompasses the interior of both proximal structure 12 and distal structure 14. The Single interior cavity 17 is configured as being provided in a first compact configuration that expands along accordion fold 19 to a second or expanded configuration when matter is introduced into single interior cavity 17 through cavity access opening 24. In use, system 10 has single interior cavity floor 15 on the interior of distal structure 14.

[0045] Incorporated onto proximal surface 16 is first tab 20 and second tab 22. Each of first tab 20 and second tab 22 are configured as grab tab devices were by a user can grasp and position system 10 as needed. System 10 includes border 24 that defines system cavity access 26.

[0046] In one embodiment, as demonstrated in FIG. 5, a proximal removable adhesive backing layer 32 is constructed with a pair of peel tabs 30 such that a user will remove adhesive backing layer 32 and expose adhesive 36 disposed on the proximal surface of securing structure 34. As demonstrated in the figures, securing structure 34 has cavity 33 congruous

[0047] The system further includes central fold 50 as indicated on the figures.

[0048] In use, a user will remove adhesive backing 30 to utilizing pull tabs 30. Adhesive 36 is exposed and used to secure system 10 onto the skin of a user.

[0049] While the invention has been described in its preferred form or embodiment with some degree of particularity, it is understood that this description has been given only by way of example and that numerous changes in the details of construction, fabrication, and use, including the combination and arrangement of parts, may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
