NONWOVEN WEBS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18646822 titled 'NONWOVEN WEBS

The abstract describes a nonwoven web for an absorbent article with a visually discernible pattern of three-dimensional features.

• The nonwoven web has a first surface, a second surface, and three-dimensional features on either surface.
• The features include first regions and a plurality of second regions with different average intensive properties.
• The first regions consist of lines extending in the same direction, while the second regions are transverse to them.

Potential Applications: - Absorbent articles such as diapers, sanitary napkins, and wound dressings. - Filtration systems for air or liquid filtration. - Packaging materials for cushioning and protection.

Problems Solved: - Enhances fluid absorption and distribution in absorbent articles. - Improves strength and durability of nonwoven materials. - Provides a visually appealing design for consumer products.

Benefits: - Increased efficiency in absorbing liquids. - Enhanced structural integrity and durability. - Aesthetic appeal for consumer products.

Commercial Applications: - Manufacturing of absorbent articles for personal care and medical industries. - Production of filtration systems for various applications. - Packaging materials for shipping and storage purposes.

Questions about the technology: 1. How does the visually discernible pattern of three-dimensional features improve the performance of absorbent articles? 2. What are the specific advantages of having different average intensive properties in the first and second regions of the nonwoven web?

Original Abstract Submitted

A nonwoven web for an absorbent article is provided. The nonwoven web comprises a first surface, a second surface, and a visually discernible pattern of three-dimensional features on the first surface or the second surface. The three-dimensional features comprise one or more first regions and a plurality of second regions. The one or more first regions are different than the plurality of second regions in a value of an average intensive property. The one or more first regions comprise a first line, a second line, and a third line extending at least partially intermediate the first line and the second line. The first line and the second line extend in substantially the same direction. The third line extends in a direction transverse to the first line and the second line.
