Abstract
A fastener joins together opposing front and rear side-parts and respectively of an absorbent article in the form of a diaper or the like, so as to form an encircling waistband. The article includes a central part having an absorbent body, and front and rear pliable side-parts which extend from respective sides of the central diaper part. The fastener includes two mutually coacting first and second fastener elements of which the first element is attached to a front side-part and the second element is attached to the rear side-part on the same side of the central part as its associated first element. The first fastener element or the second fastener element includes a fastening portion which projects out from the perimeter of the waistband and which can be inserted into an insertion opening in the associated second or first fastener element. One of the first or the second fastener elements includes at least one locking member which extends generally perpendicular to the insertion direction of the fastener portion and coacts with a locking aperture in the second fastener element when the fastener portion is inserted.
