| 20080312619 | Better Fitting Disposable Absorbent Article With Substantially Continuously Distributed Absorbent Particulate Polymer Material - A disposable absorbent article includes an absorbent core that is substantially cellulose free and a chassis that includes a topsheet and a backsheet, with the absorbent core located between the topsheet and the backsheet. The chassis may include a pair of side panels joined with the chassis, the side panels extending laterally outwardly beyond the longitudinal edges, each side panel having at least one zone extensible in a direction having a vector component in the lateral direction. | 12-18-2008 |
| 20080312620 | Better Fitting Disposable Absorbent Article With Absorbent Particulate Polymer Material - A disposable absorbent article includes an absorbent core that is substantially cellulose free and a chassis that includes a topsheet and a backsheet, with the absorbent core located between the topsheet and the backsheet. The chassis may include a pair of side panels joined with the chassis, the side panels extending laterally outwardly beyond the longitudinal edges, each side panel having at least one zone extensible in a direction having a vector component in the lateral direction. | 12-18-2008 |
| 20090030389 | Array of Disposable Absorbent Articles Having A Sequence Of Graphics Corresponding To A Wearer's Stages Of Development - An array of disposable absorbent articles comprising a sequence of graphic designs corresponding to a wearer's stage of development. For a disposable diaper, the array of disposable absorbent article graphic designs may comprise a first absorbent article graphic design for newborns and infants, a second absorbent article graphic design for toddlers, and a third absorbent article graphic design for older wearers, and other absorbent article graphic designs. | 01-29-2009 |
| 20100004614 | Disposable Absorbent Article With Varied Distribution Of Absorbent Particulate Polymer Material And Method of Making Same - A disposable absorbent article comprising an absorbent core located in a chassis and comprising absorbent particulate polymer material having a basis weight that varies across the absorbent core. Methods for making such an absorbent core and corresponding disposable absorbent article are also disclosed. | 01-07-2010 |
| 20100228218 | Absorbent Article Providing A Better Fit And More Comfort To A Wearer - A disposable pull-on garment has a front waist region and a back waist region opposite the front waist region. The disposable pull-on garment also has a chassis and front and back waist members attached to the chassis in the front and back waist regions, respectively. The front waist member has a first retraction force and the back waist member has a second retraction force. The disposable pull-on garment also has a pair of side members attaching the front waist region to the back waist region, thereby forming a waist opening and a pair of leg openings. Each of the pair of side members includes a waist zone and a hip zone. The waist zones have retraction forces which are about equal to the first retraction force, and the hip zones have retraction forces which are greater than the first or second retraction forces. | 09-09-2010 |
| 20100305529 | Absorbent Article With Absorbent Polymer Material, Wetness Indicator, And Reduced Migration Of Surfactant - This disclosure provides for an absorbent article having an absorbent polymer material and a component comprising a hydrophilic surfactant-treated nonwoven material, and/or a wetness indicator. Various stabilizing components and methods are disclosed for stabilizing the surfactant-treated synthetic fibers in the nonwoven material so as to reduce surfactant loss during wetting, and enhance the performance of the absorbent article. | 12-02-2010 |
| 20100305532 | Disposable Absorbent Aritcle With Elastically Contractible Cuffs For Better Containment Of Liquid Exudates - A disposable absorbent article includes an absorbent core, a liquid permeable topsheet, a liquid impermeable backsheet, and a pair of elastically contractible cuffs, each of which is constructed of a continuous cuff material and has a standing cuff portion which includes one or more elastic members. Each elastically contractible cuff may be secured the topsheet about a longitudinal edge of the topsheet by an assembly bond, with a standing cuff portion laterally offset away from a longitudinal edge of the absorbent core and with one or more elastic members located outboard of the assembly bond. | 12-02-2010 |
| 20100305533 | Disposable Absorbent Article With Absorbent Waistcap Or Waistband And Method For Making The Same - A disposable absorbent article comprising an absorbent core having a garment surface and an opposed body surface, which surfaces meet along at least one longitudinal edge and at least one end edge; a liquid permeable topsheet positioned adjacent the body surface of the absorbent core and having a pair of opposed longitudinal edges; a liquid impermeable backsheet positioned adjacent the garment surface of the absorbent core; and a waistcap/waistband disposed adjacent to at least one projection associated with the absorbent core, wherein the waistcap/waistband is capable of absorbing moisture and subsequently deforming to fill at least a portion of space between the article and a portion of the wearer's body. | 12-02-2010 |
