Definitions
- closure systems for use in articles such as, e.g., disposable diapers, may often involve adhesive attachment of the different components in the closure systems.
- Application of adhesives to the various components can, however raise issues with respect to control over delivery and placement of the adhesive. Problems with accurate adhesive delivery and placement can limit throughput in production lines. Adhesive control and placement can also adversely affect product quality if, e.g., the adhesive is misapplied or migrates to unwanted locations after application.
- closure systems incorporate elastic materials to provide elasticity to the articles into which they are incorporated. If, e.g., the articles are garments designed to be worn, the elasticity of a closure system may be useful for providing dynamic fit or comfort as the wearer moves. In articles that are not designed to be worn by an individual, the elasticity may provide improved robustness to the closure system in response to forces that could otherwise cause the closure system to release undesirably.
- elasticity may be a desirable characteristic, it can be difficult to incorporate elastic components into a closure system while still retaining the ability of the closure system to function properly.
- mechanical fasteners e.g., hook and loop closures, hermaphroditic closures, etc. on elastic substrates.
- the present invention provides a closure system that combines a base tab with a stable carrier tab for supporting a fastening component.
- the carrier tab overlaps only one side of the base tab and is connected to the base tab by a bonding tape.
- the bonding tape is located over the inner edge of the carrier tab with a portion of the bonding tape being attached to the base tab and another portion of the bonding tape being attached to the carrier tab. As a result, a portion of the carrier tab is located between the bonding tape and the base tab.
- the bonding tape may include a layer of adhesive facing the base tab and the carrier tab.
- adhesive attachment of the carrier tab to the base tab during manufacturing can be accomplished without applying adhesive alone to either the base tab or the carrier tab.
- an adhesive bonding tape Another potential advantage of using an adhesive bonding tape is that, if the closure is to be used in a garment such as, e.g., a diaper, the potential for exposure of any adhesive to the skin of a wearer can be reduced or eliminated.
- the adhesive is located only on the bonding tape which is attached to the other components of the closure, thus eliminating exposed adhesive on the closure (unless that adhesive is used in the controlled environment of the fastener component as discussed herein).
- the present invention provides a closure system including a base tab with an outer edge and first and second major surfaces; a carrier tab having first and second major surfaces, an inner edge, and an opposing outer edge, the inner edge and the outer edge defining a length of the carrier tab; a fastener component attached to at least one of the first and second major surfaces of the carrier tab; an overlap region in which a portion of the first major surface of the carrier tab faces the second major surface of the base tab such that the outer edge of the base tab is located between the inner and outer edges of the carrier tab; and bonding tape attached to the second major surface of the base tab adjacent the overlap region, the bonding tape further attached to the first major surface of the carrier tab within the overlap region, wherein the inner edge of the carrier tab is located between the bonding tape and the second major surface of the base tab.
- the present invention provides a closure system including an elastic base tab with an outer edge and first and second major surfaces; a carrier tab with first and second major surfaces, an inner edge, and an opposing outer edge, the inner edge and the outer edge defining a length of the carrier tab, wherein the carrier tab is inelastic; a fastener component attached to at least one of the first and second major surfaces of the carrier tab; an overlap region in which a portion of the first major surface of the carrier tab faces the second major surface of the elastic base tab such that the outer edge of the elastic base tab is located between the inner and outer edges of the carrier tab; and a bonding tape adhesively attached and welded to the second major surface of the elastic base tab adjacent the overlap region, the bonding tape further adhesively attached and welded to the first major surface of the carrier tab within the overlap region, wherein the inner edge of the carrier tab is located between the bonding tape and the second major surface of the elastic base tab, and further wherein the bonding tape is inelastic.
- the present invention provides a method of manufacturing a composite web for closure systems by providing a base tab web having an outer edge and first and second major surfaces; providing a carrier tab web having first and second major surfaces, an inner edge, and an opposing outer edge; aligning the base tab web and the carrier tab web to form an overlap region in which a portion of the first major surface of the carrier tab web faces the second major surface of the base tab web such that the outer edge of the base tab web is located between the inner and outer edges of the carrier tab web; aligning a bonding tape over the inner edge of the carrier tab web, wherein the inner edge of the carrier tab web is located between the bonding tape and the second major surface of the base tab web; attaching the bonding tape to the second major surface of the base tab web adjacent the overlap region; attaching the bonding tape to the first major surface of the carrier tab web within the overlap region; and attaching a fastener component web to at least one of the first and second major surfaces of the carrier tab web.
- the present invention provides a method of manufacturing a composite web for closure systems by providing an elastic base tab web having an outer edge and first and second major surfaces; providing a carrier tab web having first and second major surfaces, an inner edge, and an opposing outer edge, wherein the carrier tab web is inelastic; aligning the elastic base tab web and the carrier tab web to form an overlap region in which a portion of the first major surface of the carrier tab web faces the second major surface of the elastic base tab web such that the outer edge of the elastic base tab web is located between the inner and outer edges of the carrier tab web; aligning a bonding tape over the inner edge of the carrier tab web, wherein the inner edge of the carrier tab web is located between the bonding tape and the second major surface of the elastic base tab web, and wherein the bonding tape is inelastic, and further wherein the bonding tape includes a layer of pressure sensitive adhesive facing the elastic base tab web and the carrier tab web; adhesively attaching and welding the bonding tape to the second major surface of the elastic base tab web adjacent the overlap region;

- the view of FIG. 2 is taken from below the edge view depicted in FIG. 1 , i.e., from the side on which the bonding tape 30 is located.
- the base tab 10 includes first and second major surfaces 11 and 12 (respectively).
- the base tab 10 also includes an inner edge 13 and an outer edge 14 . It may be preferred that the base tab 10 be flexible such that it can be processed using conventional web processing equipment.
- the base tab 10 may exhibit elasticity in primarily the directions indicated by double-headed arrow 15 in FIG. 2 , or it may exhibit elasticity in any or all directions. Elasticity in all directions is not, however required for an elastic base tab 10 .
- “elastic” and “elasticity” refer to the ability of the base tab 10 or at least a portion of the tab, if elongated in response to a load, to recover to a state that is at or near it's original state (i.e., before elongation) after removal of the load causing the elongation. The recovery preferably occurs within a relatively short period of time (e.g., one minute or less).
- Suitable sheet materials for the base tab 10 may be unitary, homogeneous materials (e.g., polymeric films, nonwovens, woven fabrics, knitted fabrics, paper, etc.). Alternatively, they may be laminated or composite sheet materials. If the base tab 10 is to be elastic or include portions that are elastic, laminated sheet materials used for the base tab 10 may include only one or more components that exhibits elasticity, but in which the laminated sheet material as a whole exhibits desired elastic characteristics.
- Examples of some potentially suitable elastic sheet materials for the base tab 10 may be described in, e.g., U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,653,704 (Buell et al.); 5,807,368 (Helmer); 5,840,412 (Wood et al.); 5,885,908 (Jaeger et al.); 6,159,584 (Eaton et al.); and 6,270,910 (Jaeger et al.).
- Elastic sheet materials suitable for the base tab 10 may or may not be activated (i.e., stretched to activate the elastic properties of the sheet material as is known in the art).
- the sheet materials used for the base tabs 10 may include portions or zones that do not exhibit elasticity (either because they are incapable of exhibiting elasticity or they have not been activated).
- the sheet materials used for the base tab 10 may include one or more nonwoven fibrous outer layers (as described in, e.g., U.S. Pat. No. 5,807,368 to Helmer).
- the base tab 10 is depicted as having an inner edge 13 , it should be understood that in some instances, the base tab 10 will be an integral extension or portion of a larger article (e.g., a diaper, adult incontinence device, gown, etc) and, as such, may not have a defined inner edge 13 as depicted in connection with the illustrative closure system of FIGS. 1 & 2 .
- the outer edge 14 of the base tab 10 is the edge from which the carrier tab 20 extends when attached to the closure system. Although the outer edge 14 is depicted as a straight edge, it will be understood that outer edge 14 could take any suitable shape, e.g., curvilinear, sinusoidal, sawtooth, etc.
- the carrier tab 20 includes first and second major surfaces 21 and 22 along with an inner edge 23 and an outer edge 24 .
- the carrier tab 20 may be manufactured of any suitable sheet material, but may preferably be inelastic.
- “inelastic” means that the carrier tab 20 will not exhibit significant recovery after elongation in response to a load, i.e., substantially all of the elongation will be permanent. It may be preferred that, in addition to preferably being inelastic, the carrier tab 20 be substantially inextensible when used as intended in an article (e.g., a disposable garment, diaper, incontinence device, etc.).
- Suitable materials for the carrier tab 20 may be any sheet material that provides the desired inelastic and inextensible characteristics. It may be preferred that the carrier tab 20 be flexible such that it can be processed using conventional web processing equipment. Examples of suitable materials may include unitary, homogeneous materials (e.g., films, nonwovens, woven fabrics, etc.). Alternatively, the suitable materials may be laminated or composite sheet structures that, as a whole, exhibit the desired characteristics, e.g., inelasticity, inextensibility, etc. Regardless of the specific constructions of the materials for the carrier tab 20 , the materials preferably provide at least an area of at least one surface suitable for attachment of a fastener component as discussed herein.
- Examples of some potentially suitable sheet materials for the carrier tab are cloth (woven, knitted, etc.), paper, cellophane film, polymeric films (e.g., polyolefin, poly (ethylene terephthalate), poly(vinyl chloride), etc.), nonwoven materials (such as, e.g., meltblown or spunbond webs), etc.
- Laminates may also be used as sheet materials for the carrier tab, e.g., polymeric film/nonwoven laminates, etc.
- Suitable polymeric sheet materials for the carrier tab 20 may be described in, e.g., U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,237,889 (Gobran); 4,769,283 (Sipinen et al.); and 4,808,474 (Sipinen).

- the outer edge 34 of the bonding tape 30 is located on second major surface 22 of the carrier tab 20 between the inner edge 23 and the outer edge 24 of the carrier tab 20 .
- Bonding tape 30 is preferably inelastic. As a result, the elasticity of the portion of the base tab 10 attached to the bonding tape 30 is restrained, i.e., it does not operate elastically because it is constrained by the inelastic nature of the bonding tape 30 .
- Bonding tape 30 may preferably, but not necessarily, include a layer of adhesive 36 on its surface facing the base tab 10 and the carrier tab 20 .
- the adhesive 36 may preferably be a pressure-sensitive adhesive such as the pressure-sensitive adhesives described in, e.g., U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,932,328 (Korpman) and 5,019,071 (Bany et al.).
- Other attachment or bonding techniques may be used in place of pressure sensitive adhesives, e.g., heat-activated bonding (as described in, e.g., U.S. Pat. No. 4,973,326 (Wood et al.)) or the construction adhesives described in connection with disposable diaper manufacturing in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,149,741 (Alper et al.) and 6,184,285 B1 (Hatfield et al.).
- the only attachment between the bonding tape 30 and the base tab 10 and carrier tab 20 may be an adhesive attachment using the adhesive 36 on the bonding tape 30 .

- Other alternatives to a thinner layer of adhesive may include pattern coating the bonding tape 30 such that areas to be welded may be free of or include thinner layers of adhesive 36 than the surrounding areas on the bonding tape.
- the materials present on the surfaces facing each other are preferably compatible with the welding technique to be used.
- the bonding tape 30 may preferably have a film backing amenable to welding or be a composite that includes a film layer that is amenable to welding.
- the second major surface 12 of the base tab 10 and the second major surface 22 of the carrier tab 20 to which the bonding tape 30 is welded are also preferably of a composition that is amenable to welding.
- the bonding tape 30 is depicted with adhesive 36 , the use of an adhesive to attach the bonding tape 30 to the base tab 10 and the carrier tab 20 is optional.
- the bonding tape 30 may be attached to the base tab 10 and/or carrier tab solely by welding.
- the welding may be performed by any suitable technique, e.g., chemical welds (using, e.g., solvents), ultrasonic welds, heat sealing, heat welding, etc.
- Another welding technique that may be used is dynamic mechanical welding as described in, e.g., U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,854,984 and 4,919,738 (both to Ball et al.).

- the outer edge 14 of the base tab 10 is located between the inner edge 23 and the outer edge 24 of the carrier tab 20 .
- the boundaries of the overlap region 18 are seen in FIG. 2 where the outer edge 14 of the base tab 10 and the inner edge 23 of the carrier tab 20 are depicted as hidden (broken) lines because they are located on the opposite side of the bonding tape 30 .
- the major surface 21 of the carrier tab 20 faces the major surface 12 of the base tab 10 .
- no adhesive is provided between the major surface 21 of the carrier tab 20 and the major surface 12 of the base tab 10 , i.e., the surface 21 of the carrier tab 20 is not adhered to the surface 12 of the base tab 10 .
- the attachment of the base tab 10 and the carrier tab 20 is accomplished through the bonding tape 30 which is attached to the second major surface 12 of the base tab 10 and the second major surface 22 of the carrier tab 20 .

- the outer edge 14 of the base tab 10 may be located between the outer edge 34 of the bonding tape 30 and the outer edge 24 of the carrier tab 20 . In the depicted embodiment, however, the outer edge 14 of the base tab 10 is located between the inner edge 32 and the outer edge 34 of the bonding tape 30 , i.e., within the boundaries of the bonding tape 30 .
- the bonding tape 30 in the illustrative embodiment of FIGS. 1 & 2 also depicts another optional feature, i.e., that the bonding tape 30 is coextensive with the width of the carrier tab 20 , where the width of the carrier tab 20 is measured transverse to the direction defined by double-headed arrow 15 in FIG. 2 .
- the bonding tape 30 is also coextensive with the width of the base tab 10 , the bonding tape 30 may not always be coextensive with the base tab 10 (when, e.g., the carrier tab 20 has a narrower width than the base tab 10 ).
- the closure system of FIGS. 1 & 2 also includes a fastener component 40 located on the carrier tab 20 .

- the base tab web 110 and the carrier tab web 120 are aligned such that they form an overlap region 118 in which a portion of the major surface 121 of the carrier tab web 120 faces the major surface 112 of the base tab web 110 . Because of the overlap region 118 , the outer edge 114 of the base tab web 110 is located between the inner edge 123 and the outer edge 124 of the carrier tab web 120 . It is preferred that no adhesive be located between the major surface 121 of the carrier tab web 120 and the major surface 112 of the base tab web 110 within the overlap region 118 .
- the depicted method also includes aligning the bonding tape 130 over the inner edge 123 of the carrier tab web 120 such that the inner edge 123 of the carrier tab web 120 is located between the bonding tape 130 and major surface 112 of the base tab web 110 .
- the bonding tape 130 is attached to the major surface 112 of the base tab web 110 adjacent the overlap region 118 , i.e., between the edge 132 of the bonding tape 130 and the inner edge 123 of the carrier tab web 120 .
- the bonding tape 130 is also attached to major surface 122 of the carrier tab web 120 , i.e., between the inner edge 123 of the carrier tab web 120 and edge 134 of the bonding tape 130 .
- the bonding tape 130 may be attached to the base tab web 110 and the carrier tab web 120 by any suitable technique or combination of techniques.

- the fastener component web 140 includes an adhesive layer 148 that may be used to attach the fastener component web 140 to major surface 122 of the carrier tab web 120 , although any suitable technique or combination of techniques could be used to attach the fastener component web 140 to the carrier tab web 120 .
- fastener component web 140 is depicted as being attached to the major surface 122 of carrier tab web 120 , it will be understood that the fastener component web 140 could be attached to the opposite major surface 121 of the carrier tab web 120 . In another alternative, fastener component webs could be attached to both major surfaces 121 and 122 of carrier tab web 120 . It is also contemplated that the fastener components, if attached to both major surfaces 121 and 122 , may not be the same. As one example, the fastener component on one major surface may be a hook fastener while the fastener component on the opposite major surface may the complementary loop fastener. Also, more than one fastener component web could be attached to any one of the major surfaces 121 and 122 of the carrier tab web 120 .
- closure systems (such as those depicted in FIGS. 1 & 2 ) can be produced by separating the composite web 100 along a direction generally transverse to the machine direction as indicated by arrow 102 .
- the composite web 100 depicted in FIG. 3 can be sheeted into a single or “one-up” row of closure systems, it will be understood that carrier tab web 120 could be widened and an additional base tab web, bonding tape 130 and fastener component web 140 could be attached to form a “two-up” composite web that could be sheeted into two rows of closure systems.
- Example of sheeting patterns that may be used to separate “two-up” composite webs are depicted in, e.g., FIG. 4 of U.S. Pat. No. 5,399,219 (Roessler et al.) and FIG. 9B of U.S. Pat. No. 6,406,467 B1 (Dilnik et al.).
