  • Publication number: 20200179184
    Abstract: This disclosure includes embodiments of disposable absorbent articles and methods of making disposable absorbent articles that include closures with a web of material and hook fasteners that are unitary with the web. For example, some of the present disposable absorbent articles include diapers or briefs with closure members, such as back ears or front ears, defined at least in part by a nonwoven web with hook fasteners that are unitary with the nonwoven web. Use of such unitary hook fasteners allows simpler construction of such articles and/or softer closure members for improved fit and user comfort, and/or other benefits. Certain embodiments of the present methods can manufacture such absorbent articles with fewer manufacturing steps or processes and/or fewer raw materials, relative to those required to manufacture prior art absorbent articles with hook fastener patches that are added by application of a separate piece of material that includes the hook fasteners.

  • Publication number: 20090159483
    Abstract: A multiple-compartment rigid food package that allows for individual compartments to be initially packaged together in a connected manner, yet later be separated from each other while a film remains intact upon the compartments to allow opening at different times. The film and compartments each contain a weakened portion along which the film and compartments are relatively simultaneously separated. The back panel is used to provide a stand-up display feature. The back panel is a single, continuous piece, however, it can be removed or separated into at least two pieces by tearing along an area of weakness thereon with a portion of the back panel remaining on each compartment. The multiple-compartment food package provides for storage of a sliced food product, and in particular a single serving size of a sliced food product. The rigid food package also provides for arranging the sliced food product to have a fluffed appearance.
