Abstract:
The present invention is directed to a disposable pull-on garment having a front region, a back region and a crotch region between the front region and the back region. The disposable pull-on garment comprises: a chassis provided in the front, back and crotch regions; one pair of front ear panels extending laterally outward from the chassis in the front region; and one pair of back ear panels extending laterally outward from the chassis in the back region. Each of the ear panels has a body-facing surface and an outer-facing surface opposing the body-facing surface, and includes a first nonwoven layer provided on the body-facing surface on the ear panel, and a second nonwoven layer provided on the outer-facing surface on the ear panel. One of the first and second nonwoven layers is a spunbonded nonwoven layer including first component fibers formed by a polypropylene/polyethylene copolymer, while the other of the first and second nonwoven layers includes second component fibers formed by a polypropylene based polymer. The disposable pull-on garment further comprises seams each joining the corresponding front and back ear panels in an overlapping manner to form two leg openings and a waist opening.
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to an elastic laminate which is elastically extensible in at least one direction. The elastic laminate includes an elastic member having a first surface and a second surface opposing the first surface; and a spunbonded nonwoven layer joined to the first surface of the elastic member to form a laminate. The spunbonded nonwoven layer includes component fibers formed by a polypropylene/polyethylene copolymer. The laminate is mechanically stretched to form an elastic laminate. The present invention is also directed to a disposable article having the elastic laminate.

Abstract:
A disposable absorbent article is disclosed, comprising a topsheet, a backsheet and an absorbent layer between the topsheet and the backsheet, wherein the backsheet is comprised of a microporous polymer film printed with a registered graphic and comprising by weight: from about 30 % to about 60 % of a polyolefin; and from about 40 % to about 80 % of calcium carbonate; wherein the film has a "b" value of between about 0 and about 0.5 and exhibits less than about 2 % thermal shrinkage at about 50 DEG C and about 50 % relative humidity for one week.
Abstract:
A switchgear housing includes a busbar portion having a busbar enclosure. A first circuit breaker portion is coupled to the busbar portion. The first circuit breaker portion includes a first circuit breaker enclosure. A second circuit breaker portion includes a second circuit breaker enclosure. A first pressure relief member is arranged in the busbar portion. The first pressure relief member is configured and disposed to guide gases associated with an arcing event from the busbar portion upward through the busbar portion.
