Abstract: A method for manufacturing a paper product including providing a forming fabric and forming a web on the fabric. The forming fabric includes warp knuckles of directly adjacent warp yarns overlapping the cross-machine direction forming a continuous warp knuckle pattern angled to the machine and cross-machine directions. A first line connecting the centers of first two directly adjacent warp knuckles of the continuous warp knuckle pattern is angled to the machine direction at a first angle different from a second angle of a second line connecting the centers of second two directly adjacent warp knuckles of the continuous warp knuckle pattern so that a line connecting the centers of all warp knuckles forming the continuous warp knuckle pattern is non-straight. At least 50% of all the continuous warp knuckle patterns have an overlap of at least three consecutive weft yarns.

Abstract: A dispenser for web of absorbent paper, tissue or nonwoven material in the form of a roll is provided. The dispenser has a housing with a first dispensing opening for the web and a drive roller extending along a longitudinal axis. The drive roller is arranged in the housing in, or at, the first dispensing opening. The roll is arranged to abut the drive roller to be frictionally engaged with the drive roller. The dispenser has a feeding mechanism for rotating the roll to feed the web in a direction from the roll towards the first dispensing opening. The feeding mechanism has a bar extending at least partially along the drive roller. When the bar is pushed from a start position to rotate about the pivot axis, the drive roller and the roll are caused to rotate. The bar is biased towards the start position.

Abstract: A wearable absorbent article includes a conductor arrangement. Including a plurality of elongate conductors, each conductor extending along an extension direction. At least some of the conductors have different lengths from each other in the respective extension directions. Those of the at least some of the conductors which have larger lengths in the respective extension directions have lower electrical resistances per unit length than those of the at least some of the conductors which have smaller lengths in the respective extension directions.

Abstract: A waist belt for an absorbent article has an inner surface facing the wearer during use and an outer surface facing away from the wearer during use. The belt includes a first belt end section provided with a fastening component and a second belt end section provided with a mating fastening component. Each one of the fastening component and the mating fastening component includes a first mechanical connector structure and a second mechanical connector structure. Each mechanical connector structure is capable of forming a mechanical interconnection with the other mechanical connector structure, and is incapable of forming a mechanical interconnection with an identical structure. Further, the fastening component and the mating fastening component are mechanically connectable via the first mechanical connector structure and the second mechanical connector structure. The disclosure also relates to a disposable article including a chassis and a waist belt.

Abstract: A fluid pump includes a pump body having a pump inlet and a pump outlet, and a spring valve combination provided within the pump body. The spring valve combination includes a spring body having a first end portion, a second end portion and a spring section therebetween, which spring section is compressible in an axial direction from an initial condition to a compressed condition and is subsequently expandable to its initial condition; a first valve element provided at the first end portion of the spring body; and a second valve element provided at the second end portion of the spring body, wherein the spring body and the first and second valve elements are integrally formed. The first and second valve elements interact with an interior of the pump body to define a one-way inlet valve and a one-way outlet valve, respectively.

Abstract: A pump for dispensing a fluid product from a product container, includes a unitary pump body defining an axis and including a pump chamber, a pump inlet and a pump outlet. The pump chamber is collapsible over an axially directed pumping stroke from an initial condition to a collapsed condition and is biased to return to its initial condition in a return stroke. An axially compressible spring is arranged to at least partially support the pump body during its collapse.

Abstract: A belted disposable article including a chassis having first and second end portions and a central portion extending therebetween, the article having a body-oriented surface facing the user during use and a garment-oriented surface facing away from the user in use, the article further including a pair of belt portions attached to the chassis so that a first belt portion and a second belt portion extending on each side of the first end portion of the chassis for securing to each other around a waist of a wearer of the article to form a belt having an exterior surface. In addition, a belt-opening trigger zone is disposed adjacent a free end of at least one of the first and second belt portion. Further, the first and second belt portions are folded over the chassis to form a folded belt configuration prior to use of the article.

The method includes at least the step of printing, by means of an in-line synchronized print technique, a water based ink composition including a binder and a microencapsulated skin beneficial agent on the article, the skin beneficial agent being at least a partly hydrophobic or lipophilic substance or additive, and the microcapsule material being water-insoluble at 20° C.

Abstract: A paper product including a fibrous web manufactured in a paper making machine including a fabric is disclosed. The web has a first and an opposite second side. At least one of the first and second sides of the web has, in a pattern repeat, a number of longitudinal, machine direction oriented compressed areas with a first density of fibers and a number of machine direction oriented bulky areas with a second density of fibers lower than the first density. The compressed areas correspond to machine direction oriented warp knuckles of warp yarns floating over weft yarns, and adjacent compressed areas, corresponding to warp knuckles of directly adjacent warp yarns, overlap in the cross-machine direction forming a continuous compressed pattern angled to the machine and cross-machine directions.

Abstract: A wearable absorbent hygiene article includes an electronics unit, a power source and a magnetic switch. The magnetic switch operably couples the electronics unit to the power source. The magnetic switch is configured such that the power source supplies power to the electronics unit when the magnetic switch is in an ON state and such that the power source does not supply power to the electronics unit when the magnetic switch is in an OFF state. The magnetic switch is further configured such that a movement of a magnet relative to the magnetic switch switches the magnetic switch from the OFF state to the ON state.
