Patent number: 10285521Abstract: A disposable cup lid for use with a beverage container can include a base, an annular rim, a crown, and a dispensing section having a drinking aperture. The annular rim can be disposed about the base and can be configured to engage the beverage container. The crown can extend upward from the base and can include an upper surface, one or more inner sidewalls, and one or more outer sidewalls. The dispensing section can be located within a portion of the crown and can include an upper surface, one or more inner sidewalls, and one or more outer sidewalls. The dispensing section can include at least one generally straight portion of the inner sidewall that is directly opposed to at least one generally straight portion of the outer sidewall. The drinking aperture can be formed through the upper surface of the dispensing section for allowing the passage of fluid therethrough.Type: GrantFiled: September 1, 2016Date of Patent: May 14, 2019Assignee: GPCP IP Holdings LLCInventors: Shawn A. Oakes, Cheryl Ann Mocadlo, Danielle Marie Sherriff

Patent number: 10232580Abstract: Methods for securing a shrinkable film to a paperboard substrate and methods for making paperboard containers therefrom. In one or more embodiments, a band of adhesive may be applied about a perimeter of a paperboard substrate having a first edge and a second edge opposed to one another and a third edge and a fourth edge opposed to one another. The band of adhesive may at least partially surround a first area that is substantially free from the adhesive. A second area that may be substantially free from the adhesive may be located between the third edge and the first area. The first area and the second area may be separated by the band of adhesive. A shrinkable film may be secured to the paperboard substrate with the adhesive to produce a paperboard blank. The third edge and the fourth edge may be overlapped to form a sidewall. A bottom panel may be secured to the sidewall at or adjacent the second edge. The first edge may be curled to form a brim.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 2015Date of Patent: March 19, 2019Assignee: GPCP IP Holdings LLCInventors: Gary Harold Knauf, Cheryl Ann Mocadlo

Patent number: 7163529Abstract: An absorbent article (20) has a longitudinal-direction (22), a lateral cross-direction (24), an overall longitudinal article-length, an overall lateral article-width, and an intermediate portion (76) interposed between a pair of longitudinally opposed end portions (72). The article comprises a backsheet (28), a liquid-permeable topsheet (26), an absorbent body (30) sandwiched between the backsheet (28) and the topsheet (26) and at least one wing-panel (42) which is operatively connected to the intermediate portion (76) of the article (20). The wing-panel extends laterally beyond at least one lateral side edge of the backsheet (28) in the intermediate portion (76) of the article, and the wing-panel (42) is configured to wrap about an undergarment. The wing-panel includes an operative quantity of odor-control material, and at least one, laterally-outboard wing-section of the wing-panel (42) can be sufficiently sized and shaped to operatively enclose the article (20) for disposal.Type: GrantFiled: December 15, 2004Date of Patent: January 16, 2007Assignee: Kimberly-Clark Worldwide, Inc.Inventor: Cheryl Ann Mocadlo

Patent number: 6867344Abstract: A personal care absorbent article, such as a sanitary pad or napkin, wound dressing, and the like having one or more layers of absorbent material treated with a red blood cell lysing agent and a gelling agent. The effect of combining a lysing agent that thins menses or other blood-containing bodily fluids with a gelling agent that thickens menses or other blood-containing bodily fluids is enhanced agglomeration and increased viscosity of the blood-containing bodily fluids that come in contact with the treated material.Type: GrantFiled: December 28, 2001Date of Patent: March 15, 2005Assignee: Kimberly-Clark Worldwide, Inc.Inventors: David Charles Potts, Brian Eric Lin, Cheryl Ann Mocadlo

Publication number: 20030149415Abstract: A wet-formed composite defining latent voids and macro-cavities, the wet-formed composite having a basis weight greater than about 100 grams per square meter and a density of about 0.06 grams per cubic centimeter or more. The wet-formed composite comprises fibers and superabsorbent material, with the superabsorbent material present in an amount of about 10 dry weight percent or less, specifically about 5 dry weight percent or less, and particularly about 2 dry weight percent or less, but more than 0, based on the total dry weight of fibers and superabsorbent material present in the wet-formed composite. By virtue of the superabsorbent material having been allowed to swell and then shrink during the making of the wet-formed composite, macro-cavities are created. Densification compresses the macro-cavities. The resulting composite expands upon wetting and exhibits good absorbency properties.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 21, 2003Publication date: August 7, 2003Inventors: Palani Raj Ramaswami Wallajapet, Ronald Lee Edens, Cheryl Ann Mocadlo, Sheng-Hsin Hu, Dmitry Yavich, David Michael Kale

Publication number: 20030149411Abstract: An absorbent article includes a vapor permeable backsheet, a liquid permeable topsheet positioned in facing relation with the backsheet; and an absorbent body located between the backsheet and the topsheet. The absorbent body may include multiple zones of high air permeability or may include materials which provide improved air exchange after being wetted. The absorbent article may also include a ventilation layer between the absorbent body and the backsheet and a surge management layer between the absorbent body and the topsheet. The article exhibits improved air exchange within the article during use. As a result, the article exhibits substantially reduced levels of hydration of the wearer's skin when in use which renders the skin less susceptible to the viability of microorganisms.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 28, 2003Publication date: August 7, 2003Inventors: Charles Paul Keuhn, Ronald Lee Edens, Peter Robert Elliker, Michael John Faulks, Sheng-Hsin Hu, Debra Jean McDowall, Shannon Kathleen Melius, Cheryl Ann Mocadlo, Cynthia Marie Phillips, Cathleen Mae Uttecht, Palani Raj Ramaswami Wallajapet, Dmitry Yavich, David Louis Zenker, Frank Jerrel Akin, Margaret Gwyn Latimer, Pamela Jean Mayberry, Susan Carol Paul, Audra Stefanik Wright
