An absorbent article having a non-absorbent resilient layer and method for manufacturing the same

본 발명은 흡수 수단 및 흡수 수단에 인접한 실제적인 비흡수성 탄성층을 갖는 생리대와 같은 흡수용품에 관한 것이다. 흡수 수단은 사용하는 동안에 흡수용품의 비틀림을 방지하도록 충분한 강성을 갖는다. 탄성층을 사용하는 동안에 접힘을 방지하도록 충분한 탄성을 갖는다. 결과적으로, 흡수용품은 비틀림 및 접힘 모두를 방지한다. 흡수용품은 두께, 강성도 및 흡수성에서 변화하는 대역을 갖는다. 중앙 흡수 대역은 두께가 가장 두껍고, 다른 대역보다 흡수성인 더 크고, 다른 대역보다 강성이 더 크다. 인접 대역은 두께(캘리퍼)가 더 얇고, 흡수성이 더 작고 강성이 더 크다. 외부측연부 부근에 위치에 주변 대역은 두께(캘리퍼)가 가장 얇고, 흡수성이 가장 작고, 강성이 가장 작다. The present invention relates to an absorbent article such as a sanitary napkin having an absorbent means and an actual nonabsorbent elastic layer adjacent the absorbent means. The absorbent means has sufficient rigidity to prevent twisting of the absorbent article during use. Sufficient elasticity is provided to prevent folding during use of the elastic layer. As a result, the absorbent article prevents both twisting and folding. Absorbent articles have varying bands in thickness, stiffness and absorbency. The central absorption zone is the thickest, larger absorbent than the other zones, and more rigid than the other zones. Adjacent zones are thinner (calipers), less absorbent and more rigid. In the vicinity of the outer edge, the peripheral zone has the thinnest (caliper) thickness, the smallest absorbency, and the smallest rigidity.

Beamed elastic laminate properties

The present disclosure relates to one or a combination of an absorbent article's chassis, inner leg cuffs, outer leg cuffs, ear panels, side panels, waistbands, and belts that may comprise one or more pluralities of tightly spaced (less than 4 mm) and/or low Average-Dtex (less than 300 dtex) and/or low Average-Pre-Strain (less than 300%) elastics to deliver low Pressure Under Strand (less than 1 psi), while providing adequate Section-Modulus (between about 2 gf/mm and 15 gf/mm) to make the article easy to apply and to comfortably maintain the article in place on the wearer, even with a loaded core (holding at least 100 mls of liquid), to provide for the advantages described above. Further, the elastomeric laminates of the present disclosure outperform existing laminates currently used for disposable absorbent articles as it relates to one or more key parameters.

Hip-to-waist and waist-to-crotch silhouette(s) of absorbent article(s) comprising beamed elastics

The present disclosure relates to absorbent articles comprising belts comprising one or more pluralities of tightly spaced (less than 4 mm, less than 3 mm, less than 2 mm, and less than 1 mm) and/or low decitex (less than 300, less than 200, less than 100 dtex) and/or low strain (less than 300%, less than 200%, less than 100%) elastics to deliver low pressure less than 1 psi (according to the conditions defined by the Pressure-Under-Strand Test in the Method below) under the elastics, while providing adequate modulus of (between about 2 gf/mm and 15 gf/mm), resulting in a Product Hip-to-Waist Silhouette from about 0.8 to about 1.1 and a Product Waist-to-Crotch Silhouette from about 0.8 to about 2.0 to provide for the advantages described above.

Laminate(s) comprising beamed elastics and absorbent article(s) comprising said laminate(s)

The present disclosure relates to one or a combination of an absorbent article's chassis, inner leg cuffs, outer leg cuffs, ear panels, side panels, waistbands, and belts that may comprise one or more pluralities of tightly spaced (less than 4 mm, less than 3 mm, less than 2 mm, and less than 1 mm) and/or very fine (less than 300, less than 200, less than 100 dtex) and/or low strain (less than 300%, less than 200%, less than 100%) elastics to deliver low pressure less than 1 psi (according to the conditions defined by the Pressure-Under-Strand method below) under the elastics, while providing adequate modulus of (between about 2 gf/mm and 15 gf/mm) to make the article easy to apply and to comfortably maintain the article in place on the wearer, even with a loaded core (holding at least 50 mls of liquid), to provide for the advantages described above.

Disposable absorbent articles having cuffs of improved stretch laminate structure

An absorbent article having longitudinal cuffs of improved structure is disclosed. The improved cuffs may be elasticized by a plurality of elastic strands that are substantially greater in number, closer in spacing, lower in pre-strain, and lower in decitex, or any combination of these, as compared with those in conventional articles. This combination of features results in ruffles or gathers of cuff material joined to the elastic strands that are substantially greater in machine-direction frequency and substantially lesser in z-direction amplitude, than those in conventional articles. As a result, the cuff structure lies more closely and evenly against the wearer's skin, has an improved, more cloth-like appearance, provides improved gasketing, and provides improved wearer comfort, as compared with cuff structures in conventional articles. A method for manufacturing articles with such cuff structures, utilizing a warp beam as a supply mechanism, is also disclosed.

Length-to-waist silhouette(s) of absorbent article(s) comprising beamed elastics

The present disclosure relates to absorbent articles comprising belts comprising one or more pluralities of tightly spaced (less than 4 mm, less than 3 mm, less than 2 mm, and less than 1 mm) and/or low decitex (less than 300, less than 200, less than 100 dtex) and/or low strain (less than 300%, less than 200%, less than 100%) elastics to deliver low pressure less than 1 psi (according to the conditions defined by the Pressure-Under-Strand Test in the Method below) under the elastics, while providing adequate Section-Modulus of (between about 2 gf/mm and 15 gf/mm), resulting in a Product Length-to-Waist Silhouette that is within from about −0.3 to about 0.3 of the Target Body Length-to-Waist Silhouette to make the article conform better to the body of the wearer at a lower Pressure-Under-Strand, even with a loaded core (holding at least 50 mls of liquid), to provide for the advantages described above.

Methods and apparatuses for making elastomeric laminates with elastic strands unwound from beams

The present disclosure relates to methods for assembling elastomeric laminates, wherein elastic material may be stretched and joined with either or both first and second substrates. A first beam is rotated to unwind a first plurality of elastic strands from the first beam in the machine direction. The first plurality of elastic strands are positioned between the first substrate and the second substrate to form the elastomeric laminate. Before the first plurality of elastic strands are completely unwound from the first beam, a second beam is rotated to unwind the second plurality of elastic strands from the second beam. Subsequently, the advancement of the first plurality of elastic strands from the first beam is discontinued. Thus, the elastomeric laminate assembly process may continue uninterrupted while switching from an initially utilized elastic material drawn from the first beam to a subsequently utilized elastic material drawn from the second beam.
