LAMINATE(S) COMPRISING BEAMED ELASTICS AND ABSORBENT ARTICLE(S) COMPRISING SAID LAMINATE(S) - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18213284 titled 'LAMINATE(S) COMPRISING BEAMED ELASTICS AND ABSORBENT ARTICLE(S) COMPRISING SAID LAMINATE(S)
Simplified Explanation
- The patent application relates to an absorbent article, such as a diaper, and various components of the article. - These components include the chassis, inner leg cuffs, outer leg cuffs, ear panels, side panels, waistbands, and belts. - The article incorporates tightly spaced, very fine, and low strain elastics to provide a comfortable fit for the wearer. - The elastics have specific measurements, such as being less than 4 mm in spacing, less than 300 dtex in fineness, and less than 300% in strain. - The elastics deliver low pressure (less than 1 psi) under them, as measured by the Pressure-Under-Strand method. - The article also has a suitable modulus (between about 2 gf/mm and 15 gf/mm) to make it easy to apply and keep in place, even when the core is loaded with liquid. - The article's design aims to provide comfort, a secure fit, and the ability to hold at least 50 mls of liquid.
Original Abstract Submitted
The present disclosure relates to one or a combination of an absorbent article's chassis, inner leg cuffs, outer leg cuffs, ear panels, side panels, waistbands, and belts that may comprise one or more pluralities of tightly spaced (less than 4 mm, less than 3 mm, less than 2 mm, and less than 1 mm) and/or very fine (less than 300, less than 200, less than 100 dtex) and/or low strain (less than 300%, less than 200%, less than 100%) elastics to deliver low pressure less than 1 psi (according to the conditions defined by the Pressure-Under-Strand method below) under the elastics, while providing adequate modulus of (between about 2 gf/mm and 15 gf/mm) to make the article easy to apply and to comfortably maintain the article in place on the wearer, even with a loaded core (holding at least 50 mls of liquid), to provide for the advantages described above.
