A method of making a composite elastic laminate is provided where an elastic layer is stretched in the machine-direction and while in a stretched state is fed into a grooved-roll assembly, together with outer facing layers, for imparting simultaneous cross-direction stretching forces to the superposed layers. The bi-directional stretching forces causes the elastic layer to tear and/or rupture allowing the laminate to be bonded in areas where the elastic layer has been displaced. Upon relaxation, a composite elastic laminate is provided having excellent breathability and elastic properties.

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

Номер: US20210196526A1
Автор: Joseph Allen Eckstein, Uwe Schneider
Принадлежит: Procter and Gamble Co

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.

A non-woven functional core cover for use in combination with an absorbent core, where said functional core cover comprises at least a first fraction comprising lyocell fibres, and characterised in that a majority of said fibres are oriented in the same direction. Thus, the absorbent core cover may be considered an absorbent article component. Thereby, a functional core cover having improved wicking properties and improved wet integrity is realised, the advantages allowing reducing the amount of fluff used in the mix with SAP. A reduction of material used in the absorbent core improves the feeling of wearing the absorbent product, e.g. a baby diaper, which in turn facilitate the movement of the baby. The wicking properties cause liquid to be distributed better across the surface of the core cover, such that more of the absorbent core is exposed to the expelled liquid. 1.
