AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Tampons with partially destroyed ribs and grooves are of lower quality, cannot be commercialized, and must be discarded
This involves substantial material losses, ineffective production systems and a significant increase in tampon production costs
In addition, in view of the rapid and mass production of these tampon products, obstructions during the insertion and / or removal of the tampon from the pressing device are disadvantageous

Embodiment Construction

[0050] The present invention relates to a tampon suitable for feminine hygiene and medical purposes, having a substantially cylindrical longitudinal body. The tampon may provide an insertion end and a withdrawal end.

[0051] In the compressed condition, the tampon has a length L and a width W. Under compression, the length of the tampon is expressed in L. The term "the length of the tampon" refers to the length in the axial direction Y of the body of the tampon. The term "tampon width" refers to the width in the transverse direction X of the body of the tampon under compression.

[0052] The tampon consists essentially of compressed absorbent fibrous material and has an outer circumferential surface at least in part providing longitudinal ribs defined by longitudinal grooves. It should be noted that the terms "absorbent fibrous material" and "absorbent fibers" are used synonymously herein.

[0053] In particular, the tampon is characterized in that the path of the tampon ...

Abstract

A tampon suitable for feminine hygiene and / or medical purposes is disclosed having a longitudinal body provided with a dome-shaped insertion end and a withdrawal end, from which withdrawal end a withdrawal cord extends. The tampon has compressed absorbent fibrous material and has an outer circumferential surface which is at least partially provided with longitudinal grooves that are separated from each other by longitudinal ribs. The path of the grooves and ribs of the tampon in the longitudinal direction are inclined and correspond to a continuous curved line that has only one point of inflection defining one convex part and one concave part that preferably does not show a maximum or a minimum.

Description

field of invention [0001] The present invention relates to a tampon suitable for feminine hygiene and / or medical purposes. Background technique [0002] Intravaginal tampons are commonly used by women during the menstrual cycle to hold fluid or menses along the vaginal walls. Menstrual outflow, which includes endometrial cells, secretions, and blood, is intermittent and occurs over hours and days. Blood and other matter flow out along the lines of gravity. Sometimes the flow is light, sometimes heavy. Intravaginal tampons are usually formed from absorbent materials such as cotton, rayon cellulose filling, synthetic sponges, cellulose fluff, synthetic fibers, or combinations of these materials, and are usually compressed or molded into a generally cylindrical shape of a certain size. structure to fit inside the vagina. [0003] Tampons having an insertion end, a withdrawal end, a withdrawal line and a central portion extending therebetween are well known in the art. Acco...
