Abstract

An improved diaper or pull up type pant, using attached side walls that are defined from the front to the back of the diaper or pull up type pant, with one or more baffles positioned between said side walls so as to define multiple cavities for the collection and retention of waste. The multiple cavities provide additional barriers, and assist in preventing waste product from moving out of the front top or rear top portion of the pull up type pant or diaper.

Claims

1. An improved disposable diaper having at least one collection cavity for the collection and storage of waste matter, where said collection cavity prevents waste matter from moving out of the diaper past the front top edge or back top edge, comprising a diaper having:

a. an absorbent layer;

b. two parallel side walls, attached to the absorbent layer, with each side wall attached from the front to the back portion of the diaper, where the side walls define a trough collection cavity;

c. one or more baffles, positioned between said side walls, defining at least one divider within said trough like cavity for collection of waste.

2. An improved disposable diaper having at least one collection cavity for the collection and storage of waste matter, to prevent waste matter from moving out of the diaper past the front top edge or back top edge, as defined in claim 1, in which the baffles are attached to the side walls and also to the absorbent layer.

3. An improved disposable diaper having at least one collection cavity for the collection and storage of waste matter, to prevent waste matter from moving out of the diaper past the front top edge or back top edge, as defined in claim 1, in which the baffles are angled toward a main collection cavity.

4. An improved disposable diaper having at least one collection cavity for the collection and storage of waste matter, to prevent waste matter from moving out of the diaper past the front top edge or back top edge, as defined in claim 1, in which baffles define a main collection cavity, and where multiple baffles are used to define additional collection cavities.

5. An improved disposable diaper having at least one collection cavity for the collection and storage of waste matter, to prevent waste matter from moving out of the diaper past the front top edge or back top edge, as defined in claim 1, in which two baffles are positioned between said sidewalls so as to define a main collection cavity, defined by said sidewall, two baffles, and the absorbent layer.

6. An improved pull up type pant having at least one collection cavity for the collection and storage of waste matter, to prevent waste matter from moving out of the pull up type pant past the front top edge or back top edge, in which said pull up type pant has two side walls, with each side wall attached to said pull up type pant from the front to the back portion of the pull up type pant, with the side walls defining a trough collection cavity, and where at least one baffle is positioned between said sidewalls of said trough like cavity.

7. An improved disposable pull up type pant having at least one collection cavity for the collection and storage of waste matter, to prevent waste matter from moving out of the pull up type pant past the front top edge or back top edge, as defined in claim 6, in which the baffles are attached to the side walls and also to the pull up type pant absorbent layer.

8. An improved disposable pull up type pant having at least one collection cavity for the collection and storage of waste matter, to prevent waste matter from moving out of the pull up type pant past the front top edge or back top edge, as defined in claim 6, in which the baffles are angled toward a main collection cavity.

9. An improved disposable pull up type pant having at least one collection cavity for the collection and storage of waste matter, to prevent waste matter from moving out of the pull up type pant past the front top edge or back top edge, as defined in claim 6, in which baffles define a main collection cavity, and where multiple baffles are used to define additional collection cavities.

10. An improved disposable pull up type pant having at least one collection cavity for the collection and storage of waste matter, to prevent waste matter from moving out of the pull up type pant past the front top edge or back top edge, as defined in claim 6, in which two baffles are positioned between said sidewalls so as to define a main collection cavity, defined by said sidewall, two baffles, and the absorbent layer.
