摘要:
Disclosed is an absorbent structure containing superabsorbent material, wettable staple fiber, and wettable binder fiber. The absorbent structure exhibits a liquid uptake rate greater than the liquid uptake rate exhibited by an otherwise identical absorbent structure without any wettable staple fiber. Also disclosed is an absorbent garment containing such an absorbent structure.
摘要:
A 3-dimension thermoformed bicomponent fiber nonwoven material comprising a lofty bicomponent material layer forming a plurality of peaks separated from one another by channels and having a basis weight in the range of about 0.5 to 7.0 ounces per square yard. The bicomponent material layer comprises a structural component and a heat activatable adhesive component suitable for thermoforming. Also disclosed are various configurations of this material suitable for use in absorbent personal care articles such as sanitary napkins, disposable diapers, incontinent-care pads and the like.
摘要:
A distinctive article can include an elastomerically stretchable side panel having a longitudinal dimension and a lateral dimension. A member of hook material is operably connected to a first, laterally outboard edge portion of the side panel, and each member of hook material includes a hook base layer which has an appointed fastening region and an appointed grip region. The fastening region has a plurality of hook elements which are integrally formed with the base layer and extend away from a base plane of the hook base layer. The hook elements are configured to operably engage a selected, cooperating loop material. The grip region has a relatively lower density of the hook elements per unit area, as compared to the fastening region. The fastening region is interposed between the side panel and the grip region. The grip region provides a laterally terminal edge of the article.

摘要:
An article (10) has a fastening system (40) connected thereto, and the fastening system includes a panel member (56) which is composed of a panel material. The panel member has first and second, opposed major facing surfaces (50, 52), an appointed inboard region (54) and an appointed outboard region (58) which includes a terminal outboard edge (60) thereof. A reinforcement strip (88) is composed of a reinforcement material, and is laminated to the first surface (50) of the side panel (56) at the outboard region (58) of the side panel. The reinforcement strip has a terminal outboard edge (90) thereof which is coterminous with the outboard edge (60) of the panel member (56). A fastener tab is laminated to the second surface (52) of the side panel (56), and has a user-bond region (38) thereof which extends from the panel member (56). The fastener tab (36) includes first and second, opposed major surfaces (76, 78) and includes a securing means (44) located on at least one of the major surfaces (76, 78) of the fastener tab (36).
摘要:
The present invention provides an absorbent article (10) having a longitudinal direction (26), and a lateral, cross direction (24). The article includes a liquid permeable top sheet layer (28), a substantially liquid impermeable backsheet layer (30), and an absorbent structure (32) having a primary retention portion (48) sandwiched between the topsheet and backsheet layers. The retention portion (48) includes a wet-formed mixture of fibers and superabsorbent material. The retention portion has a selected edge-wise compression value, such as an edge-wise compression value of not more than a maximum of about 9 g/gsm, and a modified circular bend value, such as a modified circular bend value of at least minimum of about 0.3 g/gsm. In particular aspects, the retention portion (48) can include cellulosic fibers.
摘要:
An article has a lengthwise, longitudinal direction (26), a lateral cross-direction (24), a longitudinally extending medial line (40), a first article portion (12), a second article portion (14) and at least one fastener (36) for securing the article on a wearer. The fastener (36) includes at least one first fastener component (70) attached to a lateral side section (86) of the first article portion, and a cooperating, second fastener component (72) attached to the second article portion. The first fastener component (70) includes a first engagement section (52) having a first plurality of non-isotropic engagement members (56), and a second engagement section (54) having a second plurality of non-isotropic engagement members. A longitudinally extending, fastener transition region (76) may be located between laterally adjacent regions of the first and second engagement sections. Each non-isotropic engagement member (56) has a stem portion (58), and a securement element (60) which is non-isotropically disposed at a distal end region of its corresponding stem portion (58) to provide a non-isotropic engagement opening. A majority of the first plurality of non-isotropic engagement members can have their engagement openings directed substantially along a first vector which has a cross-directional vector-component directed along the lateral direction (24). A majority of the second plurality of non-isotropic engagement members can have their engagement openings directed substantially along a second vector which is directed away from the first vector by a selected offset.
摘要:
An article is configured with a front section (12), a rear waistband section (14), and an intermediate section (16) which interconnects the front and rear waistband sections. The article includes a backsheet layer (30) having a laterally extending width and a longitudinally extending length. A liquid permeable topsheet layer (28) is superposed on the backsheet layer, and the topsheet layer has a laterally extending width and a longitudinally extending length. An absorbent body (32) is located between the backsheet layer and the topsheet layer. An elasticized side panel (56) is connected to the article at each laterally opposed end region (72, 74) of at least one of the front and rear waistband sections. The side panels are constructed to be elastically stretchable at least along a lateral, cross direction of the article. A bridge member (40), which is separate from the backsheet and topsheet layers, extends laterally to interconnect between the elasticized side panels and to maintain a desired lateral separation and alignment between the side panels. At least a portion of the bridge member is arranged in an overlapping relation with a longitudinal end section (60) of the absorbent body, and is connected to at least one of the backsheet and topsheet layers. A fastening means (36) is provided for securing the article on a wearer. The fastening means connect to laterally distal end regions (76, 78) of the side panels.
