Assignee:

Kimberly-Clark Worldwide, Inc. - Neenah WI

International Classification:

A61F 1315

US Classification:

60438501, 604367

Abstract:

An absorbent article includes a particulate chemical mixture, which is exothermically reactive in the presence of air or moisture, for heating at least a portion of the absorbent article. The heat generated improves the absorption of body fluids by lowering the viscosity of the absorbed fluids. The absorbent article can be formed as a sanitary napkin.

Assignee:

Kimberly-Clark Corporation - Neenah WI

International Classification:

F16J 1508

US Classification:

2771675

Abstract:

An improved sealing means is provided in a multiple component assembly for delivering a fluid material under pressure which includes a lower fluid material container section having a cavity formed therein and provided with at least one outlet orifice formed in an outlet surface of the lower fluid material container section, which outlet orifice communicates with the cavity, an upper fluid material container section formed in at least two parts which are arranged in juxtaposed mating relationship and which define a cavity therein, one of the juxtaposed parts having a fluid material inlet in an inlet surface, the inlet communicating with the cavity in the upper fluid material container section. The upper fluid material container section is mounted in superposed mating relationship on the lower fluid material container section and the upper fluid material container cavity is arranged to communicate with the lower fluid material container cavity and thereby define a fluid material chamber. A first sealing means is provided between the mating surfaces of the lower fluid material container section and the upper fluid material container section and is arranged surrounding the fluid material chamber.
