Digital absorbent pad

Abstract

Disclosed is a digital absorbent pad of any size, shape and material comprising a twisted, wrapped, layered, bent, rolled and folded formation for multiple usages, including a comfortable insertion or placement in between the toes and front portion of the feet of a human being for the treatment and prevention of all symptoms of athlete's foot. This invention is designed and constructed to be comfortably worn during the day time and / or night time, including while the user of this absorbent pad wears regular enclosed boots, shoes, sneakers and / or socks, stockings, tights or footies during military activities to counter terrorism, regular military activities, regular civilian activities, regular work activities, regular sports activities and other activities. Alternately, this invention is also designed and constructed for comfort wear during the daytime and / or nighttime by the user with or without regular enclosed boots, shoes, sneaker, socks, stockings, tights or footies, including during bedtime. The digital absorbent pad of the present invention may be of a disposable material and of a cleanable non-disposable material. This digital absorbent pad may be designed and constructed from absorbent materials and non-absorbent materials, including any mixture of materials of any shape, length, width and thickness. This digital absorbent pad is also designed and constructed from partially disposable materials and partially non-disposable materials. Alternately, this digital absorbent pad has also been designed and constructed to comfortably apply and remove make-up, astringents and cleansing lotions, remove nail polish, creams and oils, baby care, general household and general healthcare usage. Alternately, this digital absorbent pad has further been designed and constructed to be comfortably used as a means of prevention and / or treatment of turf toe, swelling, ingrown toenails and other bodily injuries, but not by way of limitations. Alternately, this digital absorbent pad may also be designed and constructed form adhesive, non-adhesive materials and self-adhesive.

Description

BACKGROUND [0001] 1. Currently, it is the opinion of this inventor that there is no commercially available digital absorbent pad similar to the present invention. It is also the opinion of this inventor that the current invention will be the first most commercially available digital absorbent pad used as outlined in this invention. The closet thing found to this invention that is commercially available is a padding and medicating device for the human foot comprising a sheet structure, preferably of an elastic fabric material and partially coated on one surface with a pressure sensitive adhesive, in combination with a pad of viscoelastic gelatinous material impregnated onto a portion of the same surface of the sheet structure as the pressure sensitive adhesive containing silicone in U.S. Pat. No. 5,098,421. [0002] This device in U.S. Pat No. 5,098,421 containing silicone does not come close to solving the problem associated with athlete's foot. Sweat and other bodily fluids is able t...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0214] Briefly, the present invention relates to a preferred digital absorbent pad capable of being digitally inserted and worn in between the toes and the front portion of the feet of a human being, including while wearing regular enclosed shoes, boots, sneakers and / or socks, stocking, tights or footies to significantly reduce the seepage of sweat and / or other bodily fluids from in between the toes and the front portion of the feet. This preferred digital absorbent pad is also inserted and worn as a means for treating and / or preventing all athlete's foot symptoms including, sweat, fungus, bacteria, infection, moisture, skin disorder, lesions, rash, itchy toes, foot odor, sores, corns, other fluids, blisters, cracks, bunions, calluses, burning feet, scaly toes and feet, frost bites and toe, turf toe, swelling, ingrown toe nails and other bodily injuries during the day time and night time even while wearing regular enclosed boots, shoes, sneakers and / or socks, stockings, tights or footies. This digital absorbent pad may also be worn by the user during bed time while wearing socks and / or footies or without socks, stockings, tights or footies.

[0219] After this process above is successfully completed, the excess material from each end of said elongated strip of absorbent material may be crossed over the top of the toes to prevent any additional sweat and other bodily fluids from seeping in between the toes and front portion of the feet of the human being. Alternately, the excess material from each end of said elongated strip of absorbent material may be crossed over the top of the toes to prevent any additional sweat and other bodily fluids from seeping in between the toes and front portion of the feet of the human being and each end of excess absorbent material may be fastened in any manner and / or cut. Alternatively, such excess absorbent material from the end and / or ends may be crossed over the top of the toes and / or underneath said toes to prevent any additional sweat and other bodily fluids from seeping underneath the toes and front portion of the feet of the human being.

Problems solved by technology

This device in U.S. Pat No. 5,098,421 containing silicone does not come close to solving the problem associated with athlete's foot.

Therefore, such device containing silicone in U.S. Pat. No. 5,098,421 does not solve the problem referenced absorbing or transporting sweat and other bodily fluids from in between the toes and the front portion of the feet of the human body that generally causes fungus and bacteria resulting in athlete's foot.

The device containing silicone in U.S. Pat. No. 5,098,421 does not provide for ventilation in between the toes and the front portion of the feet while such device is inserted because such silicone is a non-absorbent.

The device containing silicone in U.S. Pat. No. 5,098,421 does not provide for much air to circulate and / or ventilation in between the toes and the front portion of the feet notwithstanding the fact that such silicone device is sometimes also used as an insulator.

Since the device containing silicone in U.S. Pat. No. 5,098,421 may be able to repel small amounts of sweat and other bodily fluids from getting in between the toes and the front portion of the feet of the human body while inserted, this silicone device does not completely solve the problem of what to do with the sweat and other bodily fluids repelled from in between the toes and front portion of the feet while wearing regular enclosed shoes, boots, sneakers and / or socks.

However, during bedtime, the inventor recommends that the user of this digital absorbent pad may wear socks or stockings or footies or some other device to hold such digital absorbent pad in place.

Further, sweat and other bodily fluids may also escape contact if such digital absorbent pads are not thick enough to make contact with such sweat and other bodily fluids while such digital absorbent pads are inserted.

Generally, to achieve its best performance, a regular size or a small size or an extra small size or a petite size digital absorbent pad in dimension inserted in between the toes and front portion of the feet of a human being with extra large feet and extra wide web spaces in between the toes would not constitute the best anatomical fit for such human being and would be lacking in performing up to its best potential.
