摘要:
A distinctive method for intermittently applying at least one elastic member (22) onto a continuously moving substrate web (24) along a selected path includes a substrate web (24) which is moved along a substrate path. The elastic member (22) is supplied along an elastic path and is also elongated. A meltblown adhesive (52) is intermittently applied to the substrate web at spaced-apart locations along the selected path. The elongated elastic member (22) is delivered to the substrate web (24) along the selected path and secured to the substrate web (24) at the spaced-apart locations. Thus, a secured portion of the elongated elastic member (22) is provided at each of the spaced-apart locations and an unsecured portion of the elongated elastic member (22) is provided between each of the spaced-apart locations. The unsecured portions of the elongated elastic member (22) are selectively cut and allowed to elastically contract. In a specific aspect, a first plurality of elastic members (22) are applied to the substrate web (24) along a first curvilinear path (26) and a second plurality of elastic members (22) are applied to the substrate web (24) along a second curvilinear path (28).
摘要:
An absorbent article (10) which includes a backsheet layer (30) having a pair of laterally opposed and longitudinally extending side margins (20). Each side margin has an outwardly concave, terminal side edge contour (15) located at appointed leg opening regions (17) in an intermediate portion (16) of the side margin. Each concave side edge contour (15) has a selected longitudinal extent along a length dimension (26) of the article (10). A liquid permeable topsheet layer (28) is connected in a superposed facing relation to the backsheet layer (30), and an absorbent body (32) is sandwiched between the topsheet layer (28) and the backsheet layer (30). A separately provided gusset-flap composite member (19) is connected to at least one of the backsheet and topsheet layers along each of the leg opening regions (17). The gusset-flap member (19) provides a leg gusset section (142) and a containment flap section (144), and is distinctively configured to provide improved leakage resistance, fit and comfort.
摘要:
A method of tucking a pair of refastenable side seams into a body portion of a pant-like garment in which the fold locations can be controlled and the likelihood of creases occurring in the fastening components is reduced or eliminated. The garment is positioned either on one vacuum conveyor or between an upper vacuum conveyor and a lower vacuum conveyor. Vacuum zones from the conveyors hold the garment in place. While the garment is held by the vacuum zones, the refastenable side seams are pushed between the front and back regions toward one another with the fastening components being placed in a flat configuration.
