摘要:
An environmentally-friendly tampon assembly of the type which includes an inner sleeve, an outer sleeve and an absorbent pledget has inner and outer sleeves which are fabricated from a biodegradable, flushable material such as paper. The outer sleeve has an inwardly extending tang for preventing movement of the pledget during retraction of the inner sleeve. The tang is also formed of biodegradable material, and may be formed of material which is from the same blank out of which the outer sleeve was formed. Six different methods of forming the outer sleeve and tang are disclosed.

A nasal pack inserter apparatus having a barrel member with a throughgoing lumen providing an inlet and an outlet for a plunger reciprocally mounted therein. The barrel member defines rib means projecting into the throughgoing lumen defining a track for the plunger which is configured to fit in the track when inserted into the lumen. The plunger member has a thumb piece on one end and a pusher tip on the other end to transport a nasal pack provided with a withdrawal thread through the lumen into a nasal cavity. The withdrawal thread of the nasal pack is positioned within a channel formed in the plunger body to prevent fouling of the same within the barrel lumen.

A tampon has an accommodation barrel and an absorbent material housed within the accommodation barrel. The accommodation barrel in this tampon includes a flexible cylindrical sheet portion and a rigid cylindrical portion connected to the flexible cylindrical sheet portion. A front end portion of the flexible cylindrical sheet portion is connected with one end of a take-out device having a length longer than the accommodation barrel for removal of the accommodation barrel while the absorbent material remains positioned as inserted into a vagina.

A shortened tampon applicator of the telescoping tube type employs an ejector tube to store a tampon at its distal end and an outer tube disposed by a slip fit thereover. Directionally-locking inward flaps fixed within the distal end of said outer tube engage the distal end of the tampon stored in the ejector tube thus securing the latter relative to said outer tube while permitting only distal expulsion therefrom. The ejector tube advantageously has inwardly biased short stubby fingers at its distal end which catch behind the proximal end of the tampon. Preferably, the applicator tubes are both molded form soft plastic and have an improved restraining means for interlocking the two tubes. This means comprises a stopping ring and a shorter adjacent inner stabilizing ring positioned to project from the inner surface of the outer tube at its proximal end and an axially overlapping a third ring of ribs positioned around the outer surface of the ejector tube near its distal end. The positioning and shape of the stabilizing third ring relative to the other two rings serve to decrease wobble and to increase the tube interlock strength, among other advantages.

A disposable vaginal refreshener or swab comprised of an outer container for enclosing an inner, fairly rigid core member about which an adsorbent layer is secured. The outer container when removed, exposes the adsorbent covered member or allows that member to be moved out of the container into an operable position. The outer container also forms the handle for the disposable swab element.

A compact tampon applicator is provided with telescoping inner and outer tubes. The inner tube has a slot with a stop at the upper and lower end and an opposite positioned slot having a stop only at the lower end. A bridge traversing the diameter of the outer tube on an angle is provided which supports the tampon pledget and also provides guiding and stop means for the inner tube as it is first withdrawn to push against and expel the pledget.
摘要:
A tampon applicator comprises an outer cylinder containing an absorber and first and second inner cylinders for pushing out the absorber, wherein the first inner cylinder is fitted slidably into the outer cylinder, the second inner cylinder is fitted slidably into the first inner cylinder, and the second inner cylinder is provided on the outer surface thereof with a projection(s) having means for significantly changing the size thereof in the radial direction, which projection(s) is(are) kept in the first inner cylinder before use but serve to transmit a pushing-out pressure to the first inner cylinder at the time of the application.
摘要:
A tampon applicator is provided with an inner and an outer sleeve. The inner sleeve extends slightly beyond the outer sleeve when the sleeves are mated and is only slightly longer than the tampon for which the applicator is designed to deliver. In one embodiment, the inner sleeve has a series of slots tapering inward and downward from the forward end which are designed to engage injection guides located on the inner surface of the outer sleeve near the base.

Applicators for liquid or solid matter are disclosed that are capable of a single or multiple uses. They are characterized by an outer tube and an inner ejecting means slidably positioned therein, said ejecting means including a plunger element that includes a foldable handle means.
