Abstract

A method and apparatus for producing a pre-fastened adjustable pant-like disposable absorbent undergarment including a fully or partially severed front body panel is disclosed. The method includes first providing a discrete undergarment moving longitudinally in a machine direction. A first panel and second panel are separated in a z-direction to allow for a transport support structure to be passed through a waist opening and a pair of leg openings. While on the transport support structure, the first panel is cut to define a first portion of the front panel and a second portion of the front panel. Finally, the first portion of the front panel and the second portion of the front panel may be joined together with a fastener assembly that connects the first portion and the second portion.

Description

Background technique [0001] Pant-like disposable undergarments for absorbing human excretions appear to be similar in size and shape to conventional cloth underpants that are designed to be laundered and used repeatedly. Disposable absorbent undergarments are intended to be worn by persons including infants, young children or adults and are designed for single use or temporary use and are intended to be thrown away after one use rather than washed or dry cleaned for repeated use. Some examples of disposable undergarments include baby diapers, training pants, adult incontinence garments, feminine pants, and the like. [0002] Some pant-like disposable absorbent undergarments currently manufactured resemble conventional cloth underpants in that they have a waist opening and a pair of leg openings. Such pant-like disposable absorbent undergarments can be pulled up around the torso of the wearer in a manner similar to conventional cloth underpants. Other pant-like disposable abs...
