Multilayer laminated pad
First Claim
1. An applicator/wipe pad for applying a liquid or solid substance and for removing a liquid or solid substance by wiping comprising:
- a reversibly absorbent pad having an applying/wiping surface, an attachment surface, the attachment surface being disposed opposite the applying/wiping surface and having edges defining an outer periphery;
a flexible continuous shield member having a lower surface, an upper surface, and edges defining an outer periphery, the lower surface of the shield member being mounted to the attachment surface of the pad and the outer periphery of the shield member being at least coextensive with the outer periphery of the pad; and
a flexible L-shaped handle consisting of first and second legs each of which is connected along a single straight fold line and having edges defining an outer periphery, the outer periphery of the shield member being substantially coextensive with the outer periphery of the handle, the first leg of the handle being permanently affixed along its entirety to the upper surface of the shield member and the second leg of the handle being pivotally mounted to the first leg such that the second leg can be rotated from a first position wherein said first and second legs lie in a single plane, to a second position which is substantially normal to the applying/wiping surface or any orientation in between the first and second positions;
whereby a user grasps the second leg of the L-shaped handle in the second position to apply or wipe a solid or liquid substance with the applicator/wipe pad and the shield member prevents contact of the user with the substance being applied or wiped and the surface being applied or wiped.

Abstract
A disposable hand held laminated pad suitable for the application or removal of liquids and other materials while shielding the hand of the user from the materials includes a base pad having a lower wiping surface and an upper attachment surface, a thin impervious shield portion coextensive with and attached to the upper attachment surface, and a thin handle secured at a lower edge to the impervious shield and extending upwardly therefrom for grasping between fingers of a hand for enabling use thereof without contacting the fingers with the material being applied or wiped. The impervious shield helps prevent contact between a user of the pad and a person on which the pad is being used.
