Patent number: 11969325Abstract: An absorbent article is disclosed. The article includes a topsheet formed of a section of formed nonwoven web material having an ordered arrangement of zones, each zone comprising one or more attenuated regions adjacent to one or more built-up regions, wherein the attenuated regions have a first average basis weight and the built-up regions have a second average basis weight, wherein the first average basis weight is less than the second average basis weight, the difference in basis weights corresponding to disposition of the filaments according to the ordered arrangement. The attenuated region(s) may be included within a configuration of one or more channel portions on the topsheet. Alternatively or in combination, the attenuated region(s) may be included within a hinge portion extending along a wing portion of the topsheet.Type: GrantFiled: June 19, 2019Date of Patent: April 30, 2024Assignee: The Procter & Gamble CompanyInventors: Arman Ashraf, Kelyn Anne Arora, Misael Omar Aviles, Lennie CruzMurphy, Antonius Lambertus DeBeer, Adrien Grenier, John Lee Hammons, Emma Lynn Sartini, Paul Thomas Weisman
