Method for producing disposable diaper-pants having openable and resealable side panels. Absorption bodies are applied on a continuous web of inner or outer coversheet material so that front portions and rear portions of adjacent diaper-pants blanks in a web are directed toward each other. A continuous web of outer or inner coversheet material is applied to and secured to the web with absorption bodies. Separate side panels connected to each other by a detachable and resealable connection are secured to side portions of the adjacent front portions or rear portions of the diaper pants. Each diaper-pants blank with side panels is cut from the web and folded about a transverse axis in the crotch with the front and rear edges lying against each other. The side panels of each blank are folded toward and secured to side portions of the rear or front portion which have no side panel.

An absorbent article has a liquid pervious user-facing first side including a liquid-pervious surface layer composed of hydrophobic material, a second side opposite the first side and including a liquid-impervious surface layer, and an absorbent body enclosed between the two surface layers. The first side further exhibits a wetting region, which is the region of the first side intended to first be wetted by body fluid emitted to the article. The wetting region is constituted of a hydrophilic material. An outer edge portion of the wetting region is bordered by the hydrophobic material of the liquid pervious surface layer which is situated laterally outwardly of the wetting region.

A stack of material sheets, which material sheets have a longitudinal direction and a transverse direction and which material sheets are folded at least once in the transverse direction along a transverse folding line and at least once in the longitudinal direction along a longitudinal folding line. The material sheets are interlinked such that, when a first material sheet is extracted, a predetermined part of the next material sheet is fed out. Two consecutive material sheets in the stack are folded into one another and are in this way interlinked by panels of the respective material sheets. The said panels constitute rectangles each having two delimiting edges namely a longitudinal fold edge and a transverse fold edge. The two consecutive material sheets lie stacked with the longitudinal fold edge of a first material sheet arranged in the opposite direction in relation to the corresponding longitudinal fold edge of the next, second material sheet. In addition, a panel of the first material sheet is enclosed by two panels of the next material sheet.

Stack of interfolded material sheets and method for its production

Absorbent article, such as a sanitary towel, with a stiffening element which is intended to contribute to the three-dimensional shape of the article during its use. The stiffening element is in a plane state before use of the article. The stiffening element has in the rear portion an elongate through-hole which extends in the longitudinal direction of the article and along the centre line of the article, as a result of which the article is during use provided, by virtue of lateral forces arising in the rear portion of the article, with a fold along the longitudinal direction of the article along the hole. The fold extends into the cleft between the buttocks of the wearer during use of the article and in this way stabilizes the article in position on the wearer.

Absorbent pants having a waist opening, two leg openings, and a waterproof outer barrier layer, which is arranged outside the pants layer. The pants layer has a surface area which is greater than that of the outer barrier layer and is joined in parts with itself or includes a device for enabling it to be joined in parts with itself, so that during use of the pants it alone constitutes the waist opening and the leg openings of the pants, and that the load-bearing parts of the pants and all of the parts lying against the body of the user are formed only from the pants layer. The pants are also elastic, where the outer barrier layer is essentially inelastic.

A process for manufacturing an absorbent article includes continuously feeding a first web () along a travelling path, said first web() including a first and a second opposing strip () extending in the longitudinal direction and a first panel portion () located therebetween, continuously feeding a second web () along a travelling path, said second web () including a third and a fourth opposing strip () and a second panel portion () located therebetween, cutting the first panel portion () into a number of first panels (), cutting the second panel portion () into a number of second panels (), forming a joint web () by placing the second web () over the first web (), cutting the joint web () along attachment lines thereby forming the absorbent articles ().

Method for producing an absorbent article

An absorbent article such as a diaper or an incontinence protector, comprising at least one liquid storage region ( ) with high absorption capacity and at least one wicking layer ( ) which overlaps at least a substantial part of the liquid storage region and which has greater liquid dispersion ability than the storage region. The wicking layer ( ) is intended to disperse liquid collected locally in the article over the liquid storage region ( ). The aim of the invention is to improve liquid dispersion in absorbent articles. The invention is characterized in that liquid-impermeable portions ( ) are arranged at separate places in the article along sections of overlapping parts of the wicking layer ( ) and the liquid storage region ( ) in order to prevent the transfer of liquid over said parts from the wicking layer to the storage region. The liquid impermeable portions ( ) are placed in such a way that liquid from at least one initial accumulation place in connection with wetting of the article is first dispersed in the wicking layer ( ) along said portions separated from the liquid storage region ( ) and thereafter is dispersed further in the liquid storage region at a distance from said accumulation place.
