Patent

CA 2221042

An apparatus and method of forming a coated paper applicator (10) is disclosed for inserting a substance into a body cavity along with the applicator itself. An apparatus for coating paper and a method of forming paper into an applicator are also disclosed. The applicator is especially useful for inserting a catamenial tampon into a woman's vagina. The applicator includes a tubular member (22) formed from at least one layer of paper and has an interior and an exterior surface. The tubular member is capable of holding the substance which is to be inserted. At least one of the surfaces of the tubular member is coated with a water-insoluble coating which is comprised of from between about 95 to about 98 percent by weight of a polymeric material and from between about 2 to about 5 percent by weight of a slip agent. The coating provides the tubular member with a dry coefficient of kinetic friction ranging from between about 0.35 to about 0.56 and a wet coefficient of kinetic friction ranging from between about 0.78 to about 1.06. These low dry and wet coefficient of kinetic friction values facilitate insertion of the applicator into the body cavity and expulsion of the substance from the applicator.

Cette invention concerne un appareil et un procédé de fabrication d'un applicateur (10) en papier couché, ledit applicateur servant à introduire une substance à l'intérieur d'une cavité corporelle. L'invention concerne également un appareil permettant d'effectuer l'opération de couchage du papier ainsi qu'un procédé visant à donner audit papier la forme d'un applicateur. Ledit applicateur est particulièrement utile pour l'introduction d'un tampon cataménial à l'intérieur du vagin chez une femme. Cet applicateur comporte un élément tubulaire (22) formé d'au moins une épaisseur de papier et il présente une surface interne et une surface externe. L'élément tubulaire peut renfermer la substance à introduire. L'une au moins des surfaces de l'élément tubulaire est couchée avec un revêtement insoluble dans l'eau qui est constitué de 95 % environ à 98 % environ en poids d'une matière polymère et de 2 % environ à 5 % environ en poids d'un agent favorisant le glissement. Ledit revêtement confère à l'élément tubulaire un coefficient de frottement dynamique à sec compris entre 0,35 environ et 0,56 environ, et un coefficient de frottement dynamique en milieu humide compris entre 0,78 environ et 1,06 environ. Ces valeurs peu élevées des coefficients de frottement dynamique à sec et en milieu humide facilitent l'introduction de l'applicateur à l'intérieur de la cavité corporelle et l'expulsion de la substance contenue dans l'applicateur.
