Abstract

A boxer-style pant and a method of making a boxer-style pant having side seams, a contracted crotch region, and hanging legs. A web is provided. The web may be a single pant assembly, or a continuous web of multiple pant assemblies connected to one another. The web may be folded against a support structure. In certain embodiments, a multi-lane production system may be used wherein the web is folded against multiple support structures each parallel to a direction in which the web is conveyed, with each lane or machine direction array of pant assemblies folded against just one support structure. The web is cut along transversely opposed edges of the web to define leg openings. The leg openings may be formed by cutting slits along the transversely opposed edges of the web. The web is contracted in a selected area between the leg openings. Front and back regions are then joined together to form the side seams. An absorbent structure may be attached to the web.

Description

Background of the invention [0001] The present invention relates to a method of making pants having side seams and a constricted crotch region. More specifically, the present invention relates to a method of making boxer shorts having side seams and a constricted crotch region. Boxer shorts can be absorbent or non-absorbent. [0002] Pants-like garments have a variety of uses, including disposable garments, training pants, feminine care products, adult incontinence products, disposable swimwear, or the like. Disposable garments similar to pants are typically three-dimensional products with closed sides so that the product has a single waist opening and two leg openings. The wearer lifts and lowers the garment to apply the product. Three-dimensional boxer short-like products are particularly attractive because boxer shorts look more like conventional apparel products. [0003] Many disposable pants are formed as composite structures in which several component parts are comb...
