A bumper golf game system, and related methods, are disclosed. The system includes a flexible putting mat including inner and outer surfaces, first and second goal recesses extending at least partially through the mat, an array of a plurality of central obstacle recesses extending at least partially through the mat positioned generally between the first and second goal recesses, a pair of first goal obstacle recesses extending at least partially through the mat flanking the first goal recess, and a pair of second goal obstacle recesses extending at least partially through the mat flanking the second goal recess. The system also includes a plurality of obstacles configured to mount within the obstacle recesses and extend past the inner surface of the mat. The system further includes a plurality of rails configured to interconnect and extend over the inner surface of the mat to bound a portion thereof.

Bumper golf game system and related methods

A disposable absorbent garment having an inner layer with a first end panel, a second end panel, and a pair of side panels formed separate from the first and second end panels. The first and second end panels are stretchable in at least the lateral direction of the garment. The side panels extend longitudinally between the first and second end panels in laterally spaced relationship with each other such that the end panels and side panels together define a central opening of the inner layer. The side panels are each secured to the first and second end panels and are extensible in at least the lateral direction of the garment. The garment includes an outer layer is in opposed relationship with the inner layer and an absorbent assembly disposed between the inner layer and the outer layer.

Disposable garment with biaxially stretchable inner layer

A method of producing an intermittently elastic web. The method includes providing a first longitudinally extending web having a first lateral edge, a second lateral edge and an intermediate portion located between the first and second lateral edges. The method also includes joining a first elastic element to the intermediate portion in a longitudinally extending wave shape, the wave shape having wave crests and wave troughs.

Method of producing intermittently elastic webs

An undergarment is conveniently made with two elasticized top panels bonded and cut at a 45 degree angle on a bottom panel. The top panels have curved leg cutouts matched to the curved leg cutouts of the bottom panel. The curved leg cutouts are preferentially cut for the front and back sections of the garment to produce a comfortable fit.

Machine direction manufactured pant

A nonwoven, disposable, incontinence garment, such as a diaper, has refastenable attachment means, such as a hook and look fastening system for attaching the front panel to the back panel. The garment is packaged in its point of sale container with the attachment means prefastened so that it can be used immediately as a pull on garment and then removed in the manner of a diaper. The attachment means of the rear panel includes extra material which is folded on itself and lightly bonded at the folds to provide simple in-process execution of a permanent lap bond between the attachment means and the rear panel which will not separate during use of the garment. The attachment means of the front panel includes extra material which is folded on itself and lightly bonded at the folds to also provide extra expansion of the diaper. The extra material of the rear attachment means is also lightly bonded to the extra material of the front attachment means to provide extra expansion of the diaper and provide in-process handling advantages.

Prefolded prefastened incontinence garment with expandible bellows

An apparatus and method for severing an elastic web traveling at a first speed into discrete parts and applying the parts onto a product web of interconnected disposable absorbent articles traveling at a second speed are disclosed. The apparatus includes a plurality of transfer segments which are configured to rotate about a common first axis. The apparatus also includes a drive ring which is configured to rotate about a second axis which is offset from the first axis of the transfer segments. A plurality of coupler arms are pivotally connected to the drive ring. As the drive ring is rotated, a cam end of each of the coupler arms is guided along a curvilinear path and a crank end of each of the coupler arms slidably engages a respective transfer segment thereby pivoting the coupler arms about the pivot points and rotating the transfer segments at a variable speed. The offset crank motion of the drive ring and the pivoting of the coupler arms independently varies an effective drive radius of each transfer segment to provide the desired variable speed.
