ABSORBENT ITEM Russian patent published in 2023 - IPC A61F13/49 

FIELD: absorbents.

SUBSTANCE: absorbent item (1) has a longitudinal direction (X) and a lateral direction (Y) orthogonal to the longitudinal direction (X) and has, on the surface facing the skin, two cuffs (3) protecting against leakage and extending in the longitudinal direction (X). Each cuff (3), protecting against leakage, has a base part (31), a free edge (32) and a bent section (35) located between the base part (31) and the free edge (32) and extending in the longitudinal direction (X). Each cuff (3), which protects against leakage, is divided into a lower part (3A) located between the base part (31) and the bent section (35), and a part (38) protruding outward and located between the bent section (35) and the free edge (32). The outward protruding part (38) has a plurality of elastic elements (37) extending in the longitudinal direction (X). In the natural state, the outwardly protruding portion (38) has a smaller width in the lateral direction in the area centered in the longitudinal direction than the width in the lateral direction in the area front in the longitudinal direction and the area rear in the longitudinal direction. In the area in which the elastic elements (37) are attached, adjacent elastic elements (37) are located at a distance from each other in the lateral direction (Y) and are arranged in parallel.

EFFECT: improving efficiency.
