A process for making a prefastened and refastenable pant (301) includes providing a plurality of discrete articles having side panels (34) and waist regions (22) including an activatable retractive material. The side panels (34) can be folded parallel to a longitudinal centerline (308) to overlap at least portions of first and second fastening components (82,83,84,85). The fastening components are then engaged for form a prefastened and refastenable pant. The retractive material can be activated subsequent to engagement of the fastening components, or subsequent to obtaining position control of the side panels, to provide the pant with a waistband-to-hip circumference ratio of about 95 percent or less. The prefastened and refastenable pant and apparatus for its manufacture are also disclosed.

A nonwoven web material that contains an elastic component is provided. The elastic component contains a crosslinked network formed from a linear block copolymer having a monoalkenyl aromatic midblock positioned between conjugated diene endblocks (e.g., butadiene-styrene-butadiene ('B-S-B') thblock copolymer). Prior to crosslinking, such linear block copolymers have a relatively low viscosity and thus may be readily formed into a precursor elastic component that is subsequently crosslinked to achieve the desired elastic and mechanical properties. Crosslinking is typically achieved through the formation of free radicals (unpaired electrons) that link together to form a plurality of carbon-carbon covalent bonds at the conjugated diene endblocks.

The present invention aims to provide a method for making disposable diapers so improved that no displacement of the absorbent core from the middle between a pair of the leg elastic members. The method includes the step P1 of bonding under tension elastic members to webs continuously fed in a machine direction MD to form front and rear sheet members 20, 30, the step P2 of bonding an absorbent panel 4 provided along opposite long sides of a rectangle with a pair of elastic members 42 for a crotch region and including an absorbent core 5 bonded thereto so as to be symmetric about an imaginary center line bisecting a distance between a pair of the elastic members for the crotch region to the front and rear sheet members at regular intervals and the step P3 of cutting the front and rear sheet members.

The invention relates to a method for use in constructing a garment (25) including elastic therein, in a processing system, as one of a series of consecutive workpieces in a continuous web having a width dimension, the method including, with respect to respective workpieces, the steps of: (a) stretching elastic; (b) incorporating the elastic into the continuous web in stretched condition on a first rotary transport device having a first outer working surface effective to inhibit shrinkage of the web in the width dimension on the first rotary transport device without use of suction; and (c) relieving stretch in the elastic at a first portion of each respective workpiece in the web, while maintaining stretch in the elastic at a second portion of each respective workpiece. Furthermore, the invention relates to a respective processing system.
摘要:
A process for stretch sheet production which comprises stretching either a strip-form layered sheet (10A) comprising an elastic layer (1) having elastic stretchability and non-elastic fibrous layers (2) and (3) which are substantially non-elastic and have been partly bonded to the elastic layer (1) or a fibrous sheet comprising an elastic ingredient and a substantially non-elastic ingredient and partly having embossed parts formed by embossing. The stretching is conducted using the bonding parts (4) where the two kinds of layers are bonded to each other or the embossed parts, as base points. Thus, a stretch sheet (10) is obtained. The stretch sheet has protrusions and grooves extending in the direction perpendicular to the stretching direction, the bonding parts (4) or embossed parts being formed in the protrusions.

Disposable under-shorts having a fit-gather laminate and capable of being produced at high speeds without complicating the construction of a production device. Disposable under-shorts comprising; a fit-gather laminate (2) formed by disposing between a pair of upper and lower non-woven fabric sheets (6, 7) an elastic member (1) in their width directions, fixing it to portions except for a width-wise center parts of the non-woven fabric sheets (6, 7) and cutting it at the width-wise center parts of the sheets (6, 7); a reinforcing sheet (3) fixed to the under-side of the width-wise center parts of the fit-gather laminate (2); an absorber (4) disposed on the upper-side of the laminate (2); and a back sheet (5) disposed on the under-side of the reinforcing sheet (3); and a production method therefor.

Methods and apparatus for assembly of extensible composite webs and web sausages, and personal care articles manufactured from such webs. The invention comprises fabricating a resiliently extensible web by bringing together and securing to each other as discrete elements, intervening web substrate elements between resiliently stretchable elastic elements. Securement between elastic elements and web substrate elements is defined by alternating zones of securement and non-securement along a length of the web substrate. The invention comprises deactivating elastic elements in the non-securement zones thereby to retract elastic strands in the non-securement zones without retracting the corresponding web or webs in such non-securement zones, and correspondingly, to distinguish the securement zones as relatively more resiliently stretchable and the non-securement zones as relatively less resiliently stretchable. The invention further comprises applying, to the relatively non-stretchable non-securement zones, fastener material extending generally between adjacent ones of the relatively more resiliently stretchable securement zones.

A disposable absorbent garment (26a) includes a top sheet (90), a back sheet (92), an absorbent core (46) disposed between the top sheet, and the back sheet. The top sheet (90), back sheet (92), and absorbent core (46) are assembled together to form a layered assembly including a front region, a back region, a crotch region disposed between the front region, and the back region. The layered assembly has a longitudinal plane that extends substantially centrally through the front, back, and crotch regions. Each of the front, and back regions further includes a pair of ear portions (38) extending in substantially opposite lateral directions with respect to the longitudinal plane. Further, each of the ear portions includes a layered section (38a) of a material layer, a stretchable member (36) extendible between a contacted configuration, and an extended configuration. The material layer is secured to the stretchable member when the stretchable member is disposed in an extended configuration.
