摘要:
A method for separating a supply of material into distinct sections of material, while controlling the position and orientation of these distinct sections during further manipulation in a continuous process is disclosed. The method includes forming a line of weakness comprising perforations and scores extending substantially from the first edge to the second edge and applying a force substantially parallel to the length of the web sufficient to separate an individual sheet from the web at the line of weakness.

The present invention is directed to a topographical support member which is useful for-producing nonwoven fabrics or apertured plastic films. The topographical support member is a rotatable hollow cylindrical tube having a substantially smooth surface and plurality of apertures therethrough. A substantial portion of the surface of the topographical support member has an ion beam deposited coating, the coating being highly adherent and exhibiting improved wear resistance relative to uncoated topographical support surfaces. The coating layer is deposited on the support member by a beam of ions containing two or more of the elements of C, Si, H, O, or N.

The absorbent structure of the invention has a substantially continuous absorbent web having an absorbent layer and a transfer layer. The transfer layer includes a nonabsorbent material and is capable of transferring liquids which it receives to the absorbent layer. The first and second edges of the absorbent web are coiled to form side walls, and the side walls form a trough therebetween. The top, trough-containing surface provides a natural trough in the space between the side walls for receiving and holding large gushes of body fluid until they can be absorbed by or dispersed into the rest of the structure.

An electric-powered device includes (1) a skin-contactable surface and (2) a body having a water-resistant switch assembly. Preferably, the electric-powered device is useful in skin treatment and delivers mechanical forces on the skin. The switch assembly preferably includes, a substantially planar mount having an aperture, a rotatable shaft extending through the aperture, and a seal lining the aperture to restrict water movement along the shaft. In another aspect a water-resistant switch assembly includes first translatable element adapted for substantially planar motion in a first plane; a rotatable shaft, engageable with said first translatable element; a second translatable element adapted for substantially planar motion in a second plane, wherein said second translatable element is engageable with said rotatable shaft; a substantially planar mount having a through-hole and defining a third plane, wherein said rotatable shaft pierces said through hole and said third plane, wherein said third plane is substantially between said second plane and said third plane; and a seal surrounding said through-hole for rendering said through hole water-resistant.

A method for treating urinary incontinence includes the steps of inserting into the woman's vagina a first disposable device, removing the first disposable device, and inserting a second disposable device substantially identical to the first disposable device. The disposable devices have a working portion with opposed working surfaces to provide support to an associated urinary system and an anchoring portion to maintain the disposable device in place during use. The anchoring portion has at least one member extending beyond at least one end of the working portion.

A sanitary napkin has a strip that extends rearwardly to reside in the intergluteal crevice. The pad is sized and configured to fit snugly against the wearer's body without penetrating the vaginal orifice. The strip provides improved body contact thus providing similar protection with a smaller pad and a discretion benefit to the user. The invention provides various alternative mechanisms for varying the length of the strip by the user.

A power toothbrush has an elongated body defining a handle and containing a power source, a stepper motor and an electronic controller; an elongated housing having bristles at the end thereof, and structure for operatively connecting the output shaft of the stepper motor to the housing. The stepper motor provides rotary oscillating motion which is transmitted to the housing which carries the bristles.

A wrapped cylindrical body such as a catamenial tampon is provided with a wrapper which will maintain the body clean and dust and moisture proof and can easily be opened. Specifically, the cylindrical body is wrapped in a wrapper having perforations arranged in a pattern whereby almost the entire wrapper can be removed in one motion without the need for pulling substantial quantities of wrapping from the ends of the cylindrical body. Further, the wrapper provides no open path for dust and other contaminants to reach the wrapped product. These advantages are achieved by providing two perforated zones in the wrapping material, double wrapping the cylindrical body and having the perforations of each of the zones offset so as to close any path into the product. The zones are located so as to overlie each other when the product is wrapped and are adhered together whereby essentially the entire product may be unwrapped in a single unwrapping operation.
