Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0076430A1] The invention relates to a washable pad comprising a moisture-absorption element (21) which is positioned between a moisture-permeable top-layer material (22) and a moisture-impermeable bottom-layer material (23), wherein the said top-layer material (22), bottom-layer material (23) and the moisture-absorption element (21) are at least locally joined to one another to form a cohesive unit, wherein the moisture-impermeable bottom-layer material (23), on the side which faces towards the moisture-absorption element (21), is coated over at least part of its surface with a layer of bonding material which bonds together the moisture-absorption element (21) and the bottom-layer material (23). In particular, the invention describes a pad in which a moisture-permeable top-layer material (22) and a moisture-impermeable bottom-layer material are joined together at certain points via perforations (28) in the moisture-absorption body (21). The invention also relates to a method for forming the abovementioned washable pad and to ways of finishing the border of a washable pad of this nature.
