    摘要: An apparatus for manufacturing an article including an absorbent body includes: first and second rolls, in cooperation with each other, for trimming a continuous laminate to be the absorbent body so as to successively form the narrowed portions along the continuous laminate; a third roll for rotating in contact with the second roll to receive the continuous laminate from the second roll; and a separating cutter for successively severing the continuous laminate being carried by the third roll into units of individual articles, thereby obtaining the absorbent body.

    摘要: A disposable pant-type absorbent article includes a chassis and an absorbent body. The chassis has a front portion and a back portion and each of the front and back portions has a waist edge, a pair of leg edges and a pair of side edges. The front and back portions are joined to each other at opposite side edges to at least partly define a waist-opening and a pair of leg-openings. The absorbent body is located mainly in a crotch portion of the article. An elastic leg feature is fastened to the chassis at least partly along leg edges. The elastic leg feature extends from the associated side edge towards a centre line in the longitudinal direction of the article. The disclosure also relates to a corresponding method of manufacturing a pant-type absorbent article, as well as an array of gender-specific, disposable, absorbent articles.

    摘要: An elastic composite (10, 110, 210, 310) can include a first layer (20, 120, 220, 320), a second layer (22, 122, 222, 322), and a third layer (24, 124, 224, 324). The third layer (24, 124, 224, 324) can be formed by at least one elastic material (32, 132, 232, 332) and can be coupled to the second layer (22, 122, 222, 322) when the elastic material (32, 132, 232, 332) is in an extended condition. The first layer (20, 120, 220, 320) can be coupled to the second layer (22, 122, 222, 322) near the first and second longitudinal edge (16, 18) but can be independent of the second layer (22, 122, 222, 322) therebetween such that the first layer (20, 120, 220, 320) forms gathers (36, 136, 236, 336) when the elastic composite (10, 110, 210, 310) is in a retracted condition.
