US Patent:

42571766, Mar 24, 1981

Filed:

Mar 9, 1979

Appl. No.:

6/019086

Inventors:

Donald E. Hartung - Arlington Heights IL
Arnold L. Siegel - Bellwood IL

Assignee:

Scholl, Inc. - Chicago IL

International Classification:

A43B 1338

US Classification:

36 44

Abstract:

An insole for footwear has odor masking or malodor counteractant material dissolved, trapped or encapsulated in a somewhat resilient resin coating through which it will progressively migrate or bleed under application of foot loads, foot perspiration and elevated foot temperatures to the surface of the coating to be released into the footwear to mask or counteract foot odors. The material may take the form of volatile fragrances or perfumes or materials which interact with bacteria causing foot odors, such as chlorophyll, esters and salts of certain fatty acids. Release or bleeding of the material is relatively dormant until activated by foot loads, foot perspiration or elevated temperatures. Initial foot loads, foot perspiration and elevated temperatures release the material closest to the surface of the coating in which the material is trapped and then migration proceeds slowly and progressively under repeated foot loads to provide a prolonged release time. The material which does not migrate to the surface under initial foot loads remains trapped and available for migration and release under subsequent foot loads.

International Classification:

A61K 910
A61K 4734

US Classification:

424402

Abstract:

A skin lotion containing a linear polydimethylsiloxane polymer, a non-ionic emulsifier, consisting of polyoxyethylene sorbitan fatty acid esters, sorbitan fatty acid esters, polyoxyethylene alcohols, or polyoxyethylene fatty ethers aloe vera, an alkoxylated ether/ester, sodium citrate, citric acid, a blend of propylene glycol, diazolidinyl urea, methyl paraben and propyl paraben, and water. Most preferably the buffering system results in the lotion having a pH of about 5. 2 which neutralizes acidic and basic by-products of urine and fecal matter. The lotion has a preferred viscosity in the range of 10-20,000 centipoise. The lotion is easily washed off with soap and water and is useful in the protection and treatment of diaper rash.

US Classification:

424443

Abstract:

A disposable feminine hygiene kit and system that includes a douche composition for internal cleansing of the vagina, and a wipe solution for external cleansing of the vulva. The douche formulation may be a ready-to-use liquid solution, or a concentrate. It comprises inorganic salts, as well as a buffering agent for pH adjustment. The concentrate does not require a preservative. The ready-to-use liquid solution incorporates the ingredients of the concentrate, and also includes a preservative. The compositions of both the liquid and the concentrate comprise a multiple electrolyte solution, pH-adjusted and isotonic (after dilution of the concentrate), resulting in optimal vaginal compatibility. The douche composition is used in combination with a preserved anti-bacterial wipe solution for use upon the external vulva. The wiping solution is preferably incorporated into a towelette application.

US Classification:

424 7805

Abstract:

A buffered skin cream containing a linear polydimethylsiloxane polymer, a non-ionic emulsifier, aloe vera, mineral oil, sodium citrate, citric acid, a blend of propylene glycol, diazolidinyl urea, methyl paraben and propyl paraben, and water. The buffering capacity of the cream is provided through the incorporation of citric acid and sodium citrate in the composition. The buffering system results in the cream having a preferred pH in the range of about 4. 5 to 6. 0, and most preferably a pH of about 5. 2 which neutralizes acidic and basic by-products of urine and fecal matter. The cream has a preferred viscosity in the range of 100,000-2,000,000 centipoise and a most preferred viscosity of about 250,000 to 1,000,000 centipoise. The cream is easily washed off with soap and water and is useful in the protection and treatment of diaper rash.
