| 20120010587 | TAMPON DISPOSED WITH LONGITUDINAL GROOVES AND INDENTATIONS - A tampon for feminine hygiene is provided having a longitudinal body showing in compressed condition a length and a width. The tampon includes compressed absorbent fibrous material and has an outer circumferential surface which is provided with longitudinal grooves. The longitudinal grooves are separated from each other by longitudinal ribs. A plurality of discrete indentations are arranged in the longitudinal direction and flanked by two longitudinal grooves. At least one indentation is spatially separated from the flanking longitudinal grooves. Some embodiments include a press and method for a tampon production. | 01-12-2012 |
| 20110230854 | TAMPON WITH A PERFORATED OUTER COVER - A tampon is described which includes an elongated absorbent core and an outer cover. The tampon can include an elongated absorbent core, an upper insertion end, a lower withdrawal end, and an outer cover. The outer cover has a multiplicity of perforations. The degree of perforation in an upper cylindrical segment of said outer cover is larger than the degree of perforation of a lower cylindrical segment of said outer cover. The upper cylindrical segment is located in the upper part of said outer cover. | 09-22-2011 |
| 20110201992 | TAMPON APPLICATOR - A tampon applicator is described which comprises an ejector tube and an outer tube. The outer tube is dimensioned to fit closely and telescopically over the ejector tube. The outer tube has a distal discharge end. The distal end of the ejector tube is formed with one or more radially inwardly slanted fingers. The outer tube can comprise supporting means configured to restrict radially outward expansion of the fingers of the ejector tube when the tampon applicator is in telescopically compacted position. | 08-18-2011 |
