DEFINITION

Classification: 604/387

By securing to garment or person:

(under subclass 386) Subject matter wherein the collecting means is attached either to another garment or directly on the person.

(1) Note. Patents in this subclass usually disclose an absorbent pad having an adhesive strip with a peelable cover which is removed to permit the adhesive surface to be applied to an undergarment (e.g., panties) or to the skin of the user.

(2) Note. Diapers which are secured by and adhesive tab fastner element are not considered to be attached to "another garment" or to a "person". Adhesive tab fastener elements attach one portion of the diaper to another portion of the same diaper.
