Description

-1- L'invention concerne la réalisation d'un objet utilisé au nettoyage de-1- The invention relates to the production of an object used for cleaning

la peau ou desskin or

différentes surfaces.different surfaces.

Le nettoyage nécessite souvent l'utilisation d'un objet avec des capacités absorbantes (papier, tissus, éponge) imprégné avec du liquide. Dans l'état actuel de la technique ces objets sont imprégnés avec du liquide au moment de leur emploi, par apport externe, ou pendant leur processus de fabrication. Dans le premier cas l'ajout de liquide est un geste  Cleaning often requires the use of an object with absorbent capacities (paper, fabrics, sponge) impregnated with liquid. In the current state of the art, these objects are impregnated with liquid at the time of their use, by external supply, or during their manufacturing process. In the first case, adding liquid is a gesture

supplémentaire qui est conditionné par la disponibilité et la proximité du liquide nécessaire.  additional which is conditioned by the availability and proximity of the necessary liquid.

Dans le deuxième cas l'emballage de l'objet doit être étanche pour éviter l'évaporation du  In the second case the packaging of the object must be sealed to avoid evaporation of the

liquide avant l'utilisation de l'objet.  liquid before using the object.

L'objet nettoyant selon l'invention permet d'éviter les deux inconvénients. Il est caractérisé par la présence d'une structure absorbante de liquide et des cavités délimitées chacune par une fine couche étanche de matériau non-absorbant de liquide, remplies avec du liquide. Pendant son utilisation, la pression mécanique exercée sur les cavités décrites  The cleaning object according to the invention avoids the two drawbacks. It is characterized by the presence of a liquid absorbing structure and cavities each delimited by a thin, tight layer of non-absorbent liquid material, filled with liquid. During use, the mechanical pressure exerted on the cavities described

provoque la rupture de leurs parois et permet ainsi la libération du liquide qui y est contenu.  causes the rupture of their walls and thus allows the release of the liquid contained therein.

Le liquide imprègne ensuite la structure absorbante de l'objet nettoyant et l'humidifie, le  The liquid then permeates the absorbent structure of the cleaning object and moistens it,

rendant plus efficace.making it more efficient.

Le dessin annexé illustre à titre d'exemple non limitatif l'invention.  The accompanying drawing illustrates the invention by way of non-limiting example.

La figure I - Vue en coupe d'un objet nettoyant caractérisé par la présence d'une structure absorbante (1) et des cavités délimités chacune par une fine couche étanche de matériau non-absorbant (2) et contenant du liquide (3). Les cavités peuvent être incluses au moins partiellement dans l'épaisseur de l'objet nettoyant (4). Elles peuvent aussi être  Figure I - Sectional view of a cleaning object characterized by the presence of an absorbent structure (1) and cavities each delimited by a thin waterproof layer of non-absorbent material (2) and containing liquid (3). The cavities can be included at least partially in the thickness of the cleaning object (4). They can also be

disposées sur au moins une des surfaces de l'objet nettoyant (5).  arranged on at least one of the surfaces of the cleaning object (5).

A titre d'exemple non limitatif, la structure absorbante (1) de l'objet selon l'invention peut être réalisée à base de matériaux tel que le papier, l'éponge, les fibres  By way of nonlimiting example, the absorbent structure (1) of the object according to the invention can be made from materials such as paper, sponge, fibers

textiles naturelles, les polymères.  natural textiles, polymers.

A titre d'exemple non limitatif, le matériau non absorbant (2) de liquide qui délimite les cavités liquidiennes sera de préférence le polyéthylène ou un copolymère d'éthylène avec un contenu en éthylène supérieur à 75%, le polypropylene ou un copolymère de propylène avec un contenu en propylène supérieur à 75% ou un polymère biodégradable. Il peut être similaire à celui utilisé pour la structure absorbante. Les dimensions des cavités liquidiennes sont variables. Elles peuvent mesurer en repos (sous une pression externe uniformément distribuée sur sa surface - tel que la pression atmosphérique) plus de 1,8 millimètres sur au moins une dimension. En repos, les cavités peuvent être sphériques ou non sphériques,  By way of nonlimiting example, the non-absorbent material (2) of liquid which delimits the liquid cavities will preferably be polyethylene or an ethylene copolymer with an ethylene content greater than 75%, polypropylene or a propylene copolymer with a propylene content greater than 75% or a biodegradable polymer. It can be similar to that used for the absorbent structure. The dimensions of the liquid cavities are variable. They can measure at rest (under an external pressure uniformly distributed over its surface - such as atmospheric pressure) more than 1.8 millimeters on at least one dimension. At rest, the cavities can be spherical or non-spherical,

aplaties ou irrégulières.flat or irregular.

-2- L'épaisseur de la paroi (2) est variable en fonction de la polymère utilisée pour sa fabrication et en fonction de la viscosité du liquide contenu. Son épaisseur sera de préférence  -2- The thickness of the wall (2) is variable depending on the polymer used for its manufacture and depending on the viscosity of the liquid contained. Its thickness is preferably

entre 10 gtm et 80 tnm.between 10 gtm and 80 tnm.

La fabrication des cavités liquidiennes peut se faire selon des procédés classiques de transformation à chaud ou avec l'emploi des substances adhésives. Le liquide peut être introduit dans les cavités liquidiennes au moment de leur réalisation ou après, en remplaçant l'air ou une autre matière initialement utilisé pour la mise en forme des cavités. Les cavités liquidiennes peuvent être isolées ou en contact entre elles. Dans la dernière situation les  The manufacture of the liquid cavities can be done according to conventional hot transformation processes or with the use of adhesive substances. The liquid can be introduced into the liquid cavities at the time of their realization or after, by replacing the air or another material initially used for the shaping of the cavities. The liquid cavities can be isolated or in contact with each other. In the latter situation the

cavités liquidiennes peuvent communiquer entre elles ou non.  fluid cavities can communicate with each other or not.

Les cavités liquidiennes ainsi préfabriquées seront ensuite incluses au moins partiellement dans l'épaisseur de l'objet nettoyant (4) ou disposées sur au moins une des  The liquid cavities thus prefabricated will then be included at least partially in the thickness of the cleaning object (4) or arranged on at least one of the

surfaces de l'objet nettoyant (5).surfaces of the cleaning object (5).

Selon une autre variante de l'invention la fabrication des cavités liquidiennes est simultanée avec celle de la structure absorbante même. Par exemple, le polyéthylène expansé est obtenu à l'aide d'un gaz envoyé sous pression dans un espace contenant du polyéthylène chauffé et en phase liquide. En utilisant un liquide mélangé avec ou remplaçant le gaz, les  According to another variant of the invention, the production of the liquid cavities is simultaneous with that of the absorbent structure itself. For example, expanded polyethylene is obtained using a gas sent under pressure into a space containing heated polyethylene in the liquid phase. By using a liquid mixed with or replacing the gas, the

bulles de polyéthylène qui se forment contiennent le liquide employé.  polyethylene bubbles which form contain the liquid used.

Le liquide (3) situé dans les cavités décrites peut contenir des détergents, des substances désinfectantes, des substances parfumées. La viscosité du liquide (3) peut être inférieure à 5 centipoises. La base liquide peut être l'eau ou un liquide organique tel qu'un  The liquid (3) located in the described cavities may contain detergents, disinfecting substances, perfumed substances. The viscosity of the liquid (3) can be less than 5 centipoise. The liquid base can be water or an organic liquid such as

dissolvant ou une substance graisseuse.  solvent or greasy substance.

L'objet nettoyant selon l'invention est particulièrement adapté au nettoyage de la peau (médical - compresses; cosmétique - coton démaquillant; hygiène - papier hygiénique) ou des différentes surfaces (ménagères - "essuie-tout", éponge de cuisine, serviettes industrielles). -3-  The cleaning object according to the invention is particularly suitable for cleaning the skin (medical - compresses; cosmetic - make-up removing cotton; hygiene - toilet paper) or different surfaces (housewares - "paper towels", kitchen sponge, industrial towels ). -3-
