Abstract: The absorbent pad for an underwire brassiere includes a sealed cover layer having opposed first and second surfaces and defining an open interior region therein. The first surface is porous, allowing for passage of perspiration into the open interior region. An absorbent layer is positioned within the open interior region of the sealed cover layer, and the absorbent layer is formed from a hydrophilic material. An adhesive layer is formed on the second surface of the sealed cover layer, so that the adhesive layer releasably adheres the absorbent pad to a lower edge of one cup of the underwire brassiere. The absorbent pad is dimensioned and configured to completely cover an underwire of the cup so that the absorbent pad absorbs perspiration of the wearer and provides protective padding over the underwire.

Abstract: A new and improved apparatus is disclosed that will absorb sweat from a user's underarms, thereby preventing staining of a user's clothing and removing most, if not all, of the odor present that is associated with underarm sweat. The present invention would comprise an oval-shaped pad that would include a straight sticky pad that would traverse right down the middle of the oval pad. Preferably, the straight sticky pad would travel along the long dimension of the oval-shaped pad. The pad would preferably be approximately ⅛ of an inch thick. The pads would preferably include an impregnated scent which would be heat-activated. In addition, the present invention would include a clear plastic sticky backing to ensure that moisture from a person who would sweat heavily would not soak through and stain or wet a user's clothes.

Abstract: A form fitting disposable garment shield and an automated method for making the shield from a coil of laminated material. The shield is comprised of a pair of identical crescent shaped panels joined together by a seam which is adjacent to a concave border of the shield. The outer facing surfaces of the panels are moisture absorbing and the inward facing surfaces, which confront each other, are non-absorbent. On the inward facing non-absorbent surfaces of the panels are pieces of adhesive tape with peelable outer coverings for attaching the shield to a garment. The method for making the shield comprises the steps of uncoiling, blanking, forming, heat bonding and trimming portions of the laminated strip in a continuous automated manner.

Abstract: A low cost single layer disposable shield for preventing soiling of the underarm portions of a garment comprising a thin coated circular sheet having a moisture absorbing side, an opposite moisture repellant side and an adhesive means on the repellant side for attaching the circular sheet to the underarm portion of a garment. The sheet is made from a coarse open fiber moisture absorbent paper material which is coated on one side with a moisture repellant material. Applied onto the adhesive means is a peelable paper which is divided into three contiguous segments along a pair of parallel chordal boundaries of the adjoining segments. An embossed crease extends across the center of the shield and divides the shield into equal parts. When the shield is placed into service the outer segments of the three peelable segments are first removed. Thereafter the shield is folded about the embossed crease and the exposed portions of the adhesive means are pressed against the underarm portion of the garment.

Abstract: An underarm perspiration pad for being releasably secured within a garment (12) proximate the underarm area (14) of such garment for protecting the garment (12) from damage resulting from contact with perspiration and for absorbing perspiration from the underarm skin surface of a wearer of the garment (12). The pad (10) comprises a first exterior panel (16) and a second exterior panel (20) joined at their peripheral edges (26, 28) to enclose a perspiration absorbent filler (24). The first exterior panel (16) contacts the skin surface of the wearer of the garment (12) and serves to absorb perspiration from the skin from the wearer and to wick such perspiration to the absorbent filler (24) where it is retained. The second exterior panel (20) is fabricated of a perspiration impervious material and prohibits perspiration from contacting the garment (12). Further, the second exterior panel (20) is provided with means for releasably securing the pad (10) to the garment (12).

Abstract: This invention discloses a garment shield whose outer contour is convex and arcuate with the shield adapted for underarm protection of a garment. The shield is made to fold along a central portion and a heat seal retains the initial outer periphery. At least one additional heat seal is made in the shield and at an outer edge of this additional heat seal there is a line of perforations enabling that portion of the shield exterior of the perforations to be removed and discarded. The additional heat seal prevents exposure of the fill at the edge of the line of perforations. The perforations may be in more than one line and slots or small apertures may be made at the line of perforations.
