BRIEF SUMMARY
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a paper napkin with self-adhesive portions of the type having adhesive thereon for securement to an article of clothing of a user to protect the user's clothing from spillage.
Paper napkins are known, which are provided with at least one limited surface coated with an adhesive layer, and wherein before usage, the adhesive layer is protected by a removable paper slip or peel off label. Such a removable paper slip will most likely end up on the floor, and if this type of napkin is used by many people in a room, the room will be very littered with all the removable paper slips on the floor.
If the napkin is provided with two such limited adhesive coated surfaces with a protective paper slip on each, there will not be only twice as much litter but also it will be more complicated to handle the napkin while removing the paper slips with change of grip and with the risk that the adhesive surfaces will stick somewhere in an uncontrollable way.
OBJECT AND SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The object of the invention is to provide a napkin where the aforementioned inconveniences are eliminated.
According to the present invention, a paper napkin for protecting an article of clothing from spillage comprises a paper napkin sheet comprising a liquid-absorbing material having poor mechanical strength properties; at least two reinforcement areas on the paper napkin sheet; and at least one adhesive surface portion on the sheet, the at least one adhesive surface portion being substantially smaller than the sheet, and the at least one adhesive surface portion comprising a permanent adhesive layer. The paper napkin sheet is folded before usage so that the at least one adhesive surface portion is in close contact with another part of the paper napkin sheet, so that when the paper napkin sheet is in the folded position, the another part of the paper napkin sheet serves as are movable cover surface for the adhesive layer of the at least one adhesive surface portion. The at least one adhesive surface portion and the removable cover surface each are arranged on a respective reinforcement area of the paper napkin sheet, the reinforcement areas each extending outside of the respective adhesive surface portion and the removable cover surface, and the reinforcement areas serving as respective grip surfaces for removing the at least one adhesive surface portion from the removable cover surface which covers the adhesive surface portion.
By virtue of the invention, the use of loose paper slips or peel off labels as protection for the adhesive surfaces has been made unnecessary. Also the handling of the napkin has been made easier. If the napkin is provided with adhesive layers in at least two corners of the unfolded napkin, the unfolding of the napkin is accomplished at the same time as the corners are drawn apart, and without changing the grip on the napkin, the corners of the napkin can be pressed on the intended article of clothing, for example a shirt or a blouse.
The paper napkin is often made of a liquid-absorbing material with very poor mechanical strength properties. Thus, according to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the napkin is provided with reinforcement areas.
