Patent number: 8858524Abstract: An absorbent article is disclosed including a fluid and vapor pervious combination sheet having a shape defining a longitudinal axis, a minimum lateral dimension and a maximum lateral dimension, and a containment assembly having a shape defining a maximum lateral dimension which is less than the maximum lateral dimension of the combination sheet. The containment assembly includes a central, fluid permeable portion of the combination sheet; a fluid impermeable backing film disposed beneath the combination sheet; and an absorbent core sandwiched between the central portion of the combination sheet and the backing film. The containment assembly is integrally attached to the combination sheet along the longitudinal axis, and the combination sheet forms a plurality of breathable regions laterally disposed beyond the containment assembly. The backing film forms at least a portion of a stay away zone that resists engagement by the laterally disposed breathable regions.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 2006Date of Patent: October 14, 2014Assignee: First Quality Products, Inc.Inventors: Babak Damaghi, Hamzeh Karami

Patent number: 8562581Abstract: A disposable absorbent article is disclosed having a wide breathable backsheet formed of a single layer of material, preferably in an hourglass configuration, and a narrow containment assembly attached to the backsheet along its longitudinal axis. The placement of the containment assembly creates two regions on either side of the backsheet which form wings which extend laterally beyond the margins of the containment assembly. Fasteners provided on the wings permit attachment of the wings together to form breathable side panels. The fasteners may be configured to engage limited areas of the backsheet and to resist engagement of other areas thereof. The containment assembly comprises a pervious topsheet and an impervious backing film sandwiching an absorbent core. The backing film is generally as narrow as the top sheet, maximizing the breathable area of the absorbent article, and minimizing the use of environmentally persistent plastic films.Type: GrantFiled: May 7, 2004Date of Patent: October 22, 2013Assignee: First Quality Products, Inc.Inventors: Hamzeh Karami, Babak Damaghi

Patent number: 7438709Abstract: A disposable absorbent article such as, e.g., a T-shaped diaper comprising two portions, a lateral portion (backwaist) having two lateral segments or wings for wrapping around the waist of a wearer of the diaper, and a second vertical portion or insert which is adapted to be passed under the crotch of the wearer and folded thereover. A uniquely designed tape tab located at the outer lateral end of one wing assures more perfect and comfortable fit. Tape tabs are also provided at the distal ends of vertical portion for engagement onto landing zones disposed on the surface of each wing. These tape tabs may have the same general construction as the tape tab on the diaper wing. The dimensions of the diaper and several of its components and the relative locations of these components are important factors which contribute to improved fitness and functions of the diaper.Type: GrantFiled: February 27, 2005Date of Patent: October 21, 2008Assignee: First Quality Products, Inc.Inventors: Hamzeh Karami, Kambiz Damaghi, Babak Damaghi
