Description
- This application is a continuation of, and claims priority under 35 U.S.C. § 120 to, U.S. patent application Ser. No. 15/432,959, filed on Feb. 15, 2017, which is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 14/206,034, filed on Mar. 12, 2014, now U.S. Pat. No. 9,610,203, granted on Apr. 4, 2017, which claims the benefit, under 35 USC § 119(e), of U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 61/804,276, filed on Mar. 22, 2013, the entire disclosures of each are fully incorporated by reference herein.
- The present invention relates to disposable absorbent articles comprising shaped belts.
- Many adult incontinence products comprise elastic strands as the stretch engine in the waist region, where the strands are laminated between a single outer cover nonwoven and two discrete inner nonwoven belts. While most of the strands are parallel and run in the lateral direction in the waist regions of these products. Curved elastics often follow the leg cutout in the crotch region and the waist regions adjacent to the crotch region. Curving the elastics, however can be complicated and can slow the production of these products. Applicants disclose a design below that provides a full outer cover nonwoven without the need to include curved elastics. In fact, Applicants provide for straight elastics that extend into the crotch from both the front and rear waist regions, thus providing for articles that are simpler to make and that provide for increased coverage (especially in the rear) and that fit a broad range of consumers.
- Applicants have also disclosed the combination of leg cutouts that provide for improved fit and coverage in combination with Applicants' disclosed elastic profile. And, further, Applicants have disclosed embodiments that may add leg cuffs to the center chassis to further improve protection against leaks.
- While the specification concludes with claims particularly pointing out and distinctly claiming the subject matter which is regarded as forming the present invention, it is believed that the invention will be better understood from the following description which is taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in which like designations are used to designate substantially identical elements, and in which:

The term “disposable” is used herein to describe garments which are not intended to be laundered or otherwise restored or reused as a garment (i.e., they are intended to be discarded after a single use and to be recycled, composted or otherwise disposed of in an environmentally compatible manner). The pull-on garment may be “absorbent” such that it absorbs and contains the various exudates discharged from the body.
- As used herein, the term “absorbent article” refers to pull-on garments generally worn by infants and other incontinent individuals to absorb and contain urine, feces and/or menses. It should be understood, however, that the term absorbent article is also applicable to other garments such as training pants, incontinent briefs, feminine hygiene garments or panties, and the like.
- As used herein, the terms “elastic,” “elastomer,” and “elastomeric” refer to a material which generally is able to extend to a strain of at least 50% without breaking or rupturing, and is able to recover substantially to its original dimensions, accounting for set, after the deforming force has been removed.
- As used herein, the term “joined” encompasses configurations whereby an element is directly secured to another element by affixing the element directly to the other element, and configurations whereby an element is indirectly secured to another element by affixing the element to intermediate member(s) which in turn are affixed to the other element.

Alternatively, the front belt portion andrear belts - A portion or the whole of the
main body 38 may be made extensible to a degree greater than the inherent extensibility of the material or materials from which themain body 38 is made, e.g., thebacksheet 60. The additional extensibility may be desirable in order to allow themain body 38 to conform to the body of a wearer during movement by the wearer and or to provide adequate body coverage. The additional extensibility may also be desirable, for example, in order to allow the user of a absorbent article including amain body 38 having a particular size before extension to extend thefront waist region 26, theback waist region 28, or both waist regions of themain body 38 to provide additional body coverage for wearers of differing size, i.e., to tailor the article to the individual wearer. Such extension of the waist region or regions may give the main body 38 a generally hourglass shape, so long as the crotch region is extended to a relatively lesser degree than the waist region or regions, and may impart a tailored appearance to the article when it is worn. In addition, the additional extensibility may be desirable in order to minimize the cost of the article 10. For example, an amount of material that would otherwise be sufficient only to make a relatively smaller article lacking this extensibility can be used to make an article capable of being extended to adequately cover a wearer that is larger than the unextended smaller absorbent article would fit. - A portion of the
main body 38, for example a portion of the chassis in one or both of thewaist regions main body 38 in the crotch region such that a lateral extension of each of the portions to its maximum extensibility imparts an hourglass shape to themain body 38. In one embodiment, the portion of themain body 38 underlying and/or immediately adjacent one or both of the front and back extensible belts may be made laterally extensible to a maximum extensibility greater than a maximum extensibility of another portion of themain body 38, for example the crotch region, such that a lateral extension of each of the portions to its maximum extensibility facilitates application of the absorbent article onto the body of a wearer by enabling the waist regions to be extended to fit over the wearer's hips and in addition, opening and orienting the leg openings enabling the wearer to place the legs through the openings more effectively. - Additional lateral extensibility in the
main body 38 may be provided in a variety of ways. For example, a material or materials from which themain body 38 is made may be pleated by any of many known methods. Alternatively, all or a portion of themain body 38 may be made of a formed web material or a formed laminate of web materials like those described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,518,801 issued on 21 May 1996 in the name of Chappell et al. This formed web material includes distinct laterally extending regions in which the original material has been altered by embossing or another method of deformation to create a pattern of generally longitudinally oriented alternating ridges and valleys and also includes laterally extending unaltered regions between the laterally extending altered regions. The formed web material can be extended in a direction perpendicular to the ridges up to the point where the ridges and valleys flatten with substantially less force than is required to extend beyond that point. In addition to lateral extensibility, the creation of a formed laminate web as described above provides amain body 38 backsheet with improved texture and cloth-like appearance and feel. The deformation creates a cloth-like pattern in the film and increases the loft of the nonwoven in multi-layer film and nonwoven laminate backsheets. - Alternatively, a portion of the absorbent article can be ring-rolled and thus rendered highly extensible as described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,366,782 (issued Nov. 22, 1994 to Curro, et al). Specifically, a ring-rolling apparatus includes opposing rolls having intermeshing teeth that incrementally stretch and thereby plastically deform the material forming the absorbent article (or a portion thereof) thereby rendering the article extensible in the ring-rolled regions. In one embodiment, the absorbent article can be ring-rolled in a portion of at least one of the front or back waist regions, for example the portion of the
main body 38 underlying and/or immediately adjacent one or both of the front andback belts main body 38 width or over only a portion of one or both of the belts. - The front laterally central portion and the back laterally central portion of the
main body 38 may have a different range of extensibility from other portions of themain body 38. Additionally or alternatively, the laterally central portions may be extensible to a greater or lesser degree when subjected to a given level of opposing tensile forces, i.e., may be more easily or less easily extensible, than other portions of themain body 38. - The
main body 38 may comprise a liquidpervious topsheet 58, a liquidimpervious backsheet 60 and anabsorbent core 62 disposed therebetween. Themain body 38 may additionally comprise abarrier leg cuff 64 disposed along thelongitudinal side edge 48. Thebarrier leg cuff 64 provides improved containment of liquids and other body exudates in thecrotch region 30. Thebarrier leg cuff 64 shown inFIG. 5 comprises a single layer of material which may be folded to form a barrier leg cuff having two layers. Thebarrier leg cuff 64 extends from the side of the main body at or adjacent thelongitudinal side edge 48 toward the longitudinal centerline L2. The barrier leg cuff may be folded along thefolding line 66 back toward thelongitudinal side edge 48. Thebarrier leg cuff 64 may have a first barrier cuffelastic material 72 adjacent to thedistal portion 68 and a second barrier cuffelastic material 73 adjacent to theproximal portion 70 of thebarrier leg cuff 64. Theproximal portion 70 of thebarrier leg cuff 64 may be joined to thebacksheet 60 adjacent to thelongitudinal side edge 48. The portion of thebarrier leg cuff 64 along thefolding line 66 and thedistal portion 68 may be free from attachment to any portion of themain body 38 in thecrotch region 30 such that thebarrier leg cuff 64 stands up toward the wearer's body. Thetransverse end 74 of thebarrier leg cuff 64 may be joined to thetopsheet 58 at or adjacent the longitudinally opposing ends of the leg cuff by an attachment means which may be any known means such as an adhesive, heat bond, pressure bond or the like as shown inFIG. 5A . Examples ofacceptable cuffs 64 are disclosed in U.S. Ser. No. 13/457,521, filed Apr. 27, 2012, including the configurations disclosed by FIGS. 8a-t. For, instance, as illustrated inFIG. 5B , the barrier leg cuff may be a two-piece cuff. And, thecuff 64 may be joined to the backsheet with a no leak bead 215 that runs along the entire longitudinal length of the cuff and/or thebacksheet film 60. - The liquid
pervious topsheet 58 may be positioned adjacent the body-facing surface of theabsorbent core 62 and may be joined thereto and/or to thebacksheet 60 by any attachment means known in the art. The liquidimpervious backsheet 60 is generally that portion of theabsorbent article 20 positioned adjacent the garment-facing surface of theabsorbent core 62 and prevents the exudates absorbed and contained therein from soiling articles that may contact theabsorbent article 20. The absorbent core is positioned between thetopsheet 58 and thebacksheet 60 and absorbs and retains liquids such as urine and other certain body exudates. - The
topsheet 58, thebacksheet 60 and the absorbent core may be manufactured any known materials. Suitable topsheet materials may include porous foams; reticulated foams; apertured plastic films; or woven or nonwoven webs of natural fibers (e.g., wood or cotton fibers), synthetic fibers (e.g., polyester or polypropylene fibers), or a combination of natural and synthetic fibers. Suitable backsheet materials may include breathable materials that permit vapors to escape from the diaper while still preventing exudates from passing through the backsheet. - A suitable absorbent core for use in the
absorbent article 20 may comprise any absorbent material which is generally compressible, conformable, non-irritating to the wearer's skin, and capable of absorbing and retaining liquids such as urine and other certain body exudates. In addition, the configuration and construction of the absorbent core may also be varied (e.g., the absorbent core(s) or other absorbent structure(s) may have varying caliper zones, hydrophilic gradient(s), a superabsorbent gradient(s), or lower average density and lower average basis weight acquisition zones; or may comprise one or more layers or structures). In some embodiments, the absorbent core may comprise a fluid acquisition component, a fluid distribution component, and a fluid storage component. An example of a suitable absorbent core having a fluid acquisition component, a fluid distribution component, and a fluid storage component is described in U.S. Pat. No. 6,590,136. Examples of acceptable air felt free cores (i.e., absorbent core systems having little or no air felt) are disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,562,646, 7,750,203, 7,744,576 and U.S. Pub. Nos. 2008/0312617A1, 2008/0312619A1, and 2004/0097895A1. - The
outer cover layer 42 may be disposed on theouter surface 22 of theabsorbent article 20 and covers thecrotch panel 56 of the absorbentmain body 38. Theouter cover layer 42 may extend into and cover thefront waist panel 52 and theback waist panel 54 of themain body 38. The outer cover layer may form a portion of the backsheet and/or the main body. Theouter cover layer 42 may be directly joined to and cover a portion or all of the liquidimpervious backsheet 60 of themain body 38. Thecentral panel 80 of the front andback belt front waist panel 52 and theback waist panel 54 of themain body 38 through theouter cover layer 42. Thus, theouter cover layer 42 is disposed between the front andback belt impervious backsheet 60 of themain body 38. In one embodiment shown inFIGS. 2 and 4C , theouter cover layer 42 is coextensive with the liquidimpervious backsheet 60. The legelastic material 140 is disposed so as to extend generally longitudinally along thelongitudinal side edge 48 of themain body 38. The legelastic material 140 may be disposed at least in thecrotch region 30 of theabsorbent article 20 or may be disposed along the entirety of thelongitudinal side edge 48. - The
outer cover layer 42 may comprise a material separate from the material of theinner layer 83 and theouter layer 82 constituting thebelt 40. Theouter cover layer 42 may comprise two or more layers of materials. Theouter cover layer 42 may comprise any known materials and may comprise materials used for the front andback belt outer cover layer 42 may comprise a single layer of nonwoven web of synthetic fibers. Theouter cover layer 42 may comprise a single layer of hydrophobic, non-stretchable nonwoven material. The outer cover layer may comprise a film, a foam, a nonwoven, a woven material or the like and/or combinations thereof such as a laminate of a film and a nonwoven. - The
belt 40 may comprise afront belt 84 and a back belt 86 (hereinafter may be referred to as “front andback belt 84, 86) and has a ring-like configuration by permanently or refastenably connecting thefront belt 84 and theback belt 86 at theseams 32 or by permanently or refastenably connecting the front and/or back belt to themain body 38. Articles of the present disclosure may have refastenable elements, configurations, and methods of making as disclosed in U.S. Ser. No. 61/787,416, filed on Mar. 15, 2013, as well as U.S. Ser. No. 61/787,332, filed on Mar. 15, 2013. - The
belt 40 may be ring-like and elastic. The ring-likeelastic belt 40 extends transversely about the waist opening 36 of theabsorbent article 20 and acts to dynamically create fitment forces and to distribute the forces dynamically generated during wear. Applicants have found that improved fit can be created by controlling the distance between, linear density, and the pre-strain of the elastomeric material in relation to each other and to the openings for the body. This may occur by choosing different materials throughout thebelt 40 that exhibit desired properties. The different materials are combined at specific distances, linear densities, and prestrains to create abelt 40 that acts to dynamically create fitment forces. Particularly, the articles of this disclosure may have the characteristics of the articles of Examples 1-4 as disclosed in U.S. Ser. No. 13/764,990, filed Feb. 12, 2013. Articles of the present disclosure may also have the same stress, strain and spacing of its elastics as disclosed in U.S. Ser. No. 13/764,990 and/or as disclosed in U.S. Ser. No. 61/598,012, filed Feb. 13, 2012. Articles of the present disclosure may also have the same elastic sections and force zones disclosed in U.S. Ser. No. 13/764,990. - The
front belt 84 may comprise 5 to 50 elastic strands. Thefront belt 84 may comprise 10 to 20 elastic strands. Theback belt 86 may comprise 5 to 50 elastic strands. Theback belt 86 may comprise 10 to 20 elastic strands. The elastic strands are distributed amongst the different force zones. Elastic strands may be distributed evenly amongst the force zones. Elastic strands may also be distributed unevenly amongst the different force zones. Each force zone comprises at least one elastic strand. - The elastic strands may have a linear density between 200 to 2500. Linear density is the density of the elastic fibers in the elastic strand. The most commonly used unit for the linear density is the decitex, abbreviated dtex, which is the mass in grams per 10,000 meters. The linear density may be used to change the force profile. For example, one could reach a desired force profile by selecting the linear density of a single elastic strand, combining multiple elastic strands with a smaller linear density in close proximity to each other, and/or combining with other elastomeric materials.
- The elastic strands may have an elastic pre-strain. The elastic pre-strain is the percent of length increase in an elastic strand or plurality of elastic strands at the point of combining the elastic(s) with the first and/or second belt layers. For example a strand with a free length of 15 centimeters (cm) may have a load applied such that the 15 cm elastic strand is now 18 cm long. This length increase of 3 cm is 20% of 15 cm ( 3/15), or a 20% strain. The elastic pre-strain may be used to change the force profile of a single elastic strand or a plurality of elastic strands. Force profiles may also be changed by changing the linear density in conjunction with the elastic pre-strain of one or more elastic strands.
- The number of elastic strands in each zone may be changed according to the placement of the absorbent core. Applicants have found that the use of thinner absorbent cores may lead to a need in increased elastic force to compensate for the change in article thickness. The force profile must be adjusted depending on the location and thickness of the absorbent core. This particularly affects the second elastic section and third elastic section.
- The elastic strands disposed in the belt may be aligned in a curved fashion so that the a tangent of the curve of the elastic strands may form an acute angle with the centerline or may form an arcuate shape. This may allow for targeting the force profile and/or coordinating print and elastication/rugosities/elastics in the stretch sections.
- It may be desirable to use the hot air seaming processes, as well as the article forming processes disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 6,248,195 and U.S. Ser. Nos. 12/795,021, 13/401,907, and 13/402,056 for seaming articles as disclosed herein. And, the articles disclosed herein may have graphics in accordance with U.S. Ser. Nos. 61/646,953 and 61/646,979, each filed on May 15, 2012.
- A suitable tensile tester such as an MTS Alliance with MTS Testworks version 4.0 or equivalent instrument is used. The tester is equipped with flat clamps that are capable of holding at least the entire transverse length of the side seam should be used. The instrument is calibrated according to the manufacturer's specification. Testing is performed at 23° C.±2° C. and 50%±2% relative humidity.
- The side seams of the product are broken to separate the front belt from the back belt. The respective force zones (as described in the Detailed Description of the Invention) are cut away from these belts. Each separated section of the front and back belt will be referred to as a “test sample” herein. All material layers, including the chassis components, should be kept with the test sample. All cut lines are straight, parallel to the transverse direction of the absorbent article. Each test sample needs to have at least one elastomeric material. The widths (a dimension in the longitudinal direction of the absorbent article) of the respective zones are measured.
- The length of the test sample is determined. The length measures in the transverse direction of the absorbent article a distance from one end to the other end of a test sample in a fully stretched condition. The fully stretched condition is the condition where the test sample is stretched by the force of 0.1 N/mm multiplied by the width of the test sample. If one or both ends of a test sample are not parallel to the longitudinal direction, the shortest length within the test sample is considered as the length of the test sample.
- An adjusted test sample length is defined such that the length of a test sample minus the combined length of any material in the upper and lower clamps. Thus, if a test sample is mounted in the clamp so that 10 mm at each end is held in the clamps, then the adjusted belt length is the measured belt length minus 20 mm.
- The test samples are kept unstretched at least for 10 min before the test.
- For each test sample, the initial gauge length of the tensile tester is set to allow the test sample to be mounted in a relaxed state. The load cell is zeroed to offset the sample weight.
- The test sample is stretched in the transverse direction of the absorbent article at a rate of 254 mm/min, and a load (N) is measured within 5 sec after the test sample reaches at 65% of the adjusted test sample length. The transverse force is calculated for each of the force zones according to an equation:
-
A transverse force (N/mm) of a test sample=Measured value (N)/width of the force zone (mm) - The dimensions and values disclosed herein are not to be understood as being strictly limited to the exact numeral values recited. Instead, unless otherwise specified, each such dimension is intended to mean both the recited value and a functionally equivalent range surrounding that value. For example, a dimension disclosed as “40 mm” is intended to mean “about 40 mm”.
- All documents cited in the Detailed Description of the Invention are, in relevant part, incorporated herein by reference; the citation of any document is not to be construed as an admission that it is prior art with respect to the present invention. To the extent that any meaning or definition of a term in this written document conflicts with any meaning or definition of the term in a document incorporated by reference, the meaning or definition assigned to the term in this written document shall govern.
- While particular embodiments of the present invention have been illustrated and described, it would be obvious to those skilled in the art that various other changes and modifications can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. It is therefore intended to cover in the appended claims all such changes and modifications that are within the scope of this invention.
