Publication number: 20200237571Abstract: An absorbent article, having a topsheet, an absorbent core, an an intermediate layer is described. The intermediate layer is attached to an inner surface of the topsheet layer, and has a first surface facing the inner surface of the topsheet, an opposing second surface, and a thickness. An ink zone extends from the second surface of the intermediate layer through the intermediate layer and at least to the inner surface of the liquid-permeable topsheet, wherein the ink zone comprises a plurality of discrete ink deposits having a first portion and a second portion. The first portion has a first colorant and the second portion has a second colorant. The first colorant and the second colorant contrast in color with the topsheet, and wherein at least some of the plurality of discrete ink deposits is disposed on the inner surface of the liquid-permeable topsheet layer.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 13, 2020Publication date: July 30, 2020Inventors: Kasey Marie Gust, David Christopher Oetjen, Christine Marie Luzader

Patent number: 9044353Abstract: Processes for making micro-textured webs. The process comprises providing a precursor web; providing a pair of mated forming structures, including a first forming structure and a second forming structure, wherein at least the first forming structure comprises voids, and wherein at least the second forming structure comprises protrusions; and moving the web through a deformation zone of the mated forming structures, wherein the voids of the first forming structure engage with the protrusions of the second forming structure at an engagement position. Discrete three-dimensional elements are formed in the web as the protrusions on the second forming structure engage with the voids on the first mating structure. At least one protrusion has center-to-center spacings of less than about 800 microns with at least three of its adjacent protrusions.Type: GrantFiled: April 26, 2011Date of Patent: June 2, 2015Assignee: The Procter & Gamble CompanyInventors: Keith Joseph Stone, Richard George Coe, Mathias Johannes Hilpert, James William Busch, Kasey Marie Gust, Rakesh Gummalla

Patent number: 8708687Abstract: Apparatus for making micro-textured webs. The apparatus comprises a pair of mated forming structures having a first forming structure, a second forming structure, and a deformation zone; wherein at least the first forming structure comprises voids, and wherein at least the second forming structure comprises protrusions wherein at least one protrusion has center-to-center spacings of less than about 800 microns with at least three of its adjacent protrusions. The voids of the first forming structure are engagable with the protrusions of the second forming structure at an engagement position to form a micro-textured web. In another embodiment, the apparatus comprises a pair of counter-rotating rollers wherein the first roller comprises grooves having a length, wherein the length of the grooves are oriented at an angle different from the machine direction.Type: GrantFiled: April 26, 2011Date of Patent: April 29, 2014Assignee: The Procter & Gamble CompanyInventors: Richard George Coe, Keith Joseph Stone, Mathias Johannes Hilpert, James William Busch, Kasey Marie Gust, Rakesh Gummalla
