Diaper changing kit

Abstract

A disposable diaper changing kit has a body defining a liquid impermeable outer body layer and a liquid absorbent inner body layer. The body is movable between at least three configurations including an initial package configuration wherein the body defines a package containing a fresh diaper, an intermediate changing mat configuration wherein the body defines a changing mat, and a final disposal configuration wherein the body defines a unit for the sanitary disposal of a used diaper therein. Diaper changing supplies, including the fresh diaper, are disposed within the body at least when the body is in the package configuration, the diaper having a liquid impermeable outer diaper layer and liquid absorbent inner diaper layer.

 (ii) an intermediate changing mat configuration wherein said body defines a changing mat, and  
 (iii) a final disposal configuration wherein said body defines a unit for the sanitary disposal of a used dressing therein; and  
   (B) dressing changing supplies, including a fresh dressing, disposed within said body at least when said body is in said package configuration, said dressing having a liquid impermeable outer dressing layer and a liquid absorbent inner dressing layer.    
     
     
         13 . The kit of  claim 12  wherein said inner and outer dressing layers are extensions of said inner and outer body layers, respectively.  
     
     
         14 . The kit of  claim 13  wherein said body is of unitary, integral, one-piece construction formed in a single operation.  
     
     
         15 . The kit of  claim 12  wherein said dressing is releasably secured to said outer body layer.  
     
     
         16 . The kit of  claim 15  wherein said dressing is releasably secured to said outer body layer such that movement of said body from said package configuration to said changing mat configuration causes movement of said dressing from a folded configuration to a substantially unfolded configuration.  
     
     
         17 . The kit of  claim 12  additionally including resealable sealing means secured to said outer body layer for releasably maintaining said body in said package and disposal configurations.  
     
     
         18 . The kit of  claim 12  additionally including handle means secured to said outer body layer for carrying of said kit.
