摘要： Packaged garments having pre-fastened, refastenable seams tucked in a certain position can preserve fastener performance. Such refastenable seams are particularly suitable for side seams on pant-like absorbent garments. Prior to packaging the garment, the refastenable seams are pre-fastened and tucked into the garment such that any resilient fastening components lie flat in a plane parallel to a plane in which front and back waist portions of the garment lie. When the garment is compressed and packaged, the resilient fastening components remain flat and do not become creased or crushed.

摘要： A pant-like absorbent garment having curved leg cuffs has a gasket-like fit. A chassis of the absorbent garment defines first and second leg openings with curved cut-outs in the chassis. A bonded portion is located between a first portion and a second portion of each of two elastic strands. The bonded portions are bonded to the first and second leg openings about a periphery of the curved cut-outs, thereby forming finished seams. Second portions of the elastic strands can form rolled edges. The resulting absorbent garment has a comfortable, gasket-like fit and an aesthetically pleasing, finished look about the leg openings.

摘要： A process and apparatus for controllably registering two continuously moving layers of material is provided. One of the layers comprises a permanently settable material, and has a plurality of reference marks representing a pluraltiy of separate and distinct components, and the other of the continuously moving layers has a respective plurality of different components thereon. The process and apparatus controls the distance between reference marks to a selected distance, and controllably registers each reference mark to a respective component of the continuously moving second layer.

摘要： An apparatus for controllably registering two continuously moving layers (54, 66) of material is provided. One of the layers (66) of material has a plurality of reference marks (74) representing a plurality of separate and distinct components (38) and other of the continuously moving layer (54) has respective plurality of different components (32) thereon. The apparatus controls the distance between reference marks (74) to a selected distance, and controllably registers each reference mark (74) to a respective component (32) of the continuously moving second layer (54). An article is provided in which a graphic is controllably registered within a designated area thereof.

摘要： Generally, a pre-fastened adjustable pant-like disposable absorbent undergarment including a fully severed front body panel and method of manufacturing is disclosed. The method includes the steps of providing a moving web for use as a body panel and first forming a first cut on the moving web at a first cutting station to define a leading portion of the moving web and a trailing portion of the moving web connected at the first cut. The moving web then passes through an attachment assembly station to bridge the connected leading portion and trailing portion together with a fastener assembly that extends over the first cut. Finally, the moving web is then passed through a second cutting station to provide a second cut through both the moving web and fastener assembly and intersecting with the first cut to completely separate the leading portion and trailing portion of the moving web.

摘要： A method and apparatus for producing a pre-fastened adjustable pant-like disposable absorbent undergarment including a fully severed front body panel is disclosed. The method includes the steps of providing a moving web and first creating a line of weakness on the moving web at a weakening station to define a leading portion of the moving web and a trailing portion of the moving web connected at the line of weakness. The moving web then passes through an attachment assembly station to bridge the connected leading portion and trailing portion together with a fastener assembly that extends over the line of weakness. Finally, the moving web is then passed through a web breaking station to completely separate the leading portion and trailing portion of the moving web at the line of weakness, such that the leading portion and trailing portion remains bridged together by the fastener assembly.

摘要： A method is provided for manufacturing a disposable absorbent article having multiple printed components, the method including positioning a first side panel adjacent a chassis such that first side panel medial edge is adjacent the chassis lateral edge, wherein the outer cover portion and the first side panel portion of a printed band feature each have a distal edge and a proximal edge, and wherein manufacturing is controlled such that a misalignment offset of either the distal edge of the outer cover portion and the distal edge of the first side panel portion, or the proximal edge of the outer cover portion and the proximal edge of the first side panel portion, of up to 100 percent of a longitudinal height of the outer cover portion is allowable and does not result in culling the article.
