[0041] definition :

[0042] As used herein, the term "disposed" means that a component of the diaper is formed (joined and positioned) in a unitary structure with other components of the diaper at a specific location or position, or is attached as a separate component to another component of the diaper.

[0043] As used herein, the term "joining" includes the configuration of directly or indirectly (via one or more intermediate members) one material or component being secured to another material or component. An example of an indirect bond is an adhesive. Direct bonding includes heat bonding with or alternatively pressure bonding. Bonding can include any method known in the art, including, for example, adhesive bonding, thermal bonding, pressure bonding, and ultrasonic bonding, among others.

[0044] The term "nonwoven" as used herein refers to materials made from continuous (long) filaments (fibers) and / or discontinuous (short) filaments (fibers) by processes such as spun...

Abstract

A disposable diaper comprising a topsheet, a backsheet, and an absorbent core disposed between the topsheet and backsheet. The topsheet and backsheet define a periphery and longitudinal edges, portions of the longitudinal edges define leg openings when the diaper is worn. The diaper has a discrete edge band joined to the longitudinal edges at least at the portions defining leg openings when the diaper is worn. An apparatus for affixing a discrete edge band onto a portion of a longitudinal edge of a continuous web and methods for affixing discrete edge band onto a predetermined portion of a longitudinal edge of a continuous web are also provided.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to trims on absorbent articles, and more particularly to discrete trims, such as discrete elasticized trims on disposable absorbent articles such as diapers. Background technique [0002] Infants and other incontinent persons wear disposable absorbent articles such as diapers to absorb and contain urine and other bodily discharges. The function of absorbent articles is not only to contain excreta, but also to keep these excreta away from the wearer's body, clothing and bedding. Disposable absorbent articles having a variety of different basic designs are known in the art. [0003] A typical absorbent article has a chassis comprising a liquid pervious topsheet and a liquid impermeable backsheet joined to the topsheet. Typically, the absorbent core is located between the topsheet and the backsheet. Typically, the base has a rectangular or hourglass-shaped elongated shape. The long sides of the base define two opposing ed...
