The present invention relates to the field of hygiene appliances, in particular to a means for reducing soiling of the skin of a wearer upon defecation. In particular, it relates to a hygiene article comprising a skin protection sheet that comprises a discontinuity as a faeces passageway, such as an opening or a slit. In use, the sheet and the discontinuity are urged towards the anus by a pull means and spread open by a spreading means, such that faeces can pass through the discontinuity but are separated from the skin of the wearer elsewhere.

Hygiene article comprising a skin protection sheet with well positioned opening(s)

The present invention is a roll as may function as an anvil roll that comprises protrusions on its outer surface, that are outwardly or z-directionally oriented arcs of an arc wire such as wavy wire or an axially canted helical coil extending along a length or x-direction, which are pinched perpendicularly to the z- and x-direction. Such anvil rolls may be used to treat materials such as web materials, such as by embossing or bonding these web materials. In a particular application, such rolls may interact with an ultrasonic sonotrode.

The present invention is an equipment and a method for handling web materials, in particular for recombining portions as are cut out from an essentially continuous web material machine-directionally offset with this web.

Method for separating portions from a web and recombining these onto the web machine-directionally offset

The present invention is an absorbent structure comprising a fibrous matrix (), meltfusionable material and superabsorbent polymer particles (). The absorbent structure is bonded by a meltfusion bond point () pattern, which is preferably created by ultrasonic welding.

An apparatus and methods for thermally treating webs having thermoplastic respectively meltable compounds, thereby creating cylindrical or elliptic consolidation regions which may optionally have an aperture by employing a thermal energy source, such as ultrasonic energy, as well as to webs with elliptic consolidation regions. In a particular, the apparatus and methods create consolidation regions by using an anvil with a flexible elongated member, such as a wire, a chain or a tubular anvil with circumferential ribs.

Forming of consolidation regions in a web and a web comprising such regions

Apparatus and process for the manufacture of articles to be worn on the lower torso of a wearer, such as disposable absorbent article like diapers, training pants, adult incontinence articles, feminine care articles and the like. In particular to such articles and to the equipment and the process for manufacturing such articles, especially when different sizes or types of the article are to be prepared on the same equipment.

On the fly size change apparatus and process for articles to be worn on the lower torso of a wearer and such articles

The present invention concerns: A heating element comprising a heating unit, a heat transfer unit and a temperature sensor unit, the heating, unit comprising a first composition, the first composition comprising an epoxy-based or glass-based composition or a composition comprising a sol-gel solution in which up to about 90% of said solution is a conductive powder in a uniform stable dispersion and said solution conductive powder is a member selected from the group consisting of metals, ceramics, interceramics and semi-conductors and the temperature sensor comprising a second composition, the second composition comprising an epoxy-based or glass-based composition or a composition comprising a composition comprising a sol-gel solution in which up to about 90% of said solution is a conductive powder in a uniform stable dispersion and said solution conductive powder is a member selected from the group consisting of metals, ceramics, interceramics and semi-conductors, the heating unit and the temperature sensor unit being provided as two units, which are electrically insulated from each other and with are mechanically supported by the heat transfer unit. The invention also relates to a method of heating an appliance and to a method of providing a heating element.

Heating element with temperature sensor

The present invention is an article such as an article to be worn on the lower torso of a wearer, such as pants or diapers. The article has a flexible faeces separation member, such as a faeces trap sheet, which is attached in a particular way such that an effective separation of faeces from skin respectively genitals can be achieved.

Articles with overfolded and attached side margins

The present invention relates to articles such as pants or pant-like structures, which comprise leg hoops which are folded over along a fold line and which encircle the legs of a wearer during use, and to the manufacturing of such articles. Such manufacturing is particularly suitable for the making of diapers, training pants, adult incontinence articles, or other absorbent articles exhibiting a particular good body-conforming fit. The leg hoops are manufactured by flipping a part of the material, thereby creating the hoop structure as well as a body conforming shape of the article.

Article comprising a flipped leg hoop and process for the manufacturing of such articles

The present invention relates to processes for the manufacture of hoops and pre-forms for making articles comprising such hoops such as pants or a pants-like structures, such as baby or incontinence diapers, absorbent pants such as training, feminine hygiene or adult incontinent pants, or garments like underwear, such as reusable or single use pants, exhibiting particularly good body conforming fit.

Manufacturing method for the making of articles or precursors comprising hoops

An absorbent article may have an edge fold having substantially uniform gathers. The edge fold may form a finished edge cuff. The finished edge cuff may be formed around and/or along a portion of a longitudinal edge. The edge fold may be formed by folding and seaming existing material (i.e., without the addition of a discrete part). The edge fold may be extensible, or elastic. The edge fold may completely encircle the portion of the longitudinal edge that defines the leg opening of a diaper. A method and an apparatus for forming an edge fold are also provided.

Edge fold having substantially uniform gathers for absorbent article and method for making

A hair treatment device and a corresponding method for treating hair are disclosed. The hair treatment device is suitable for heating hair and has a heating element that is heated to a starting temperature and whose temperature is regulated by a temperature control. The hair treatment device has a sensor that measures data from which a parameter based on the condition of the hair can be generated, wherein the parameter influences the temperature control.

Automated hair care process

An apparatus for producing an elastomeric nonwoven laminate including a plurality of elastomeric strands joined to a nonwoven web in a controlled distribution is provided. The apparatus includes an extruder for extruding a plurality of elastomeric strands onto a cooled surface of a rotating drum, which transports the strands in parallel alignment to a nip formed between two rollers rotating about parallel axis. The drum transfers the plurality of strands to the nip in a controlled distribution where it is bonded with the nonwoven. The apparatus also includes elements which automate the apparatus for creating the elastomeric nonwoven laminate.
