Abstract: An absorption article such as a pant diaper, having a liquid-permeable topsheet, a liquid-impermeable backsheet and an absorption body positioned therebetween, the article having a front end portion, a rear end portion, and a crotch portion lying therebetween, the rear end portion and the adjacent part of the crotch portion having a transverse elastic system, a rear leg elastic system which runs between the two longitudinal side edges of the article along the leg cutout of the article in the rear part of the crotch portion and crosses the crotch portion essentially parallel to the transverse center line of the article. The article has, on each side of the absorption body, a pocket for temporary storage of liquid, the extent of the pocket being limited by the longitudinal side edge of the absorption body, the transverse elastic system and the rear leg elastic system.

Abstract: The invention relates to an absorption article such as an incontinence device of the pant type, or a pant diaper, comprising a liquid-permeable topsheet, a liquid-impermeable backsheet and an absorption body positioned therebetween, the absorption body having an elongate shape with two longitudinal side edges and two transverse side edges, the article having two longitudinal side edges, a longitudinal center line, a transverse center line, a front end portion which is intended during normal use to lie against or in proximity to the abdomen of the wearer, a rear end portion which is intended during normal use to lie against or in proximity to the bottom of the back of the wearer, and a crotch portion lying therebetween, the rear end portion and the adjacent part of the crotch portion having a transverse elastic system, a rear leg elastic system which runs between the two longitudinal side edges of the article along the leg cutout of the article in the rear part of the crotch portion and crosses the crotch port

Abstract: The invention relates to liquid-absorbent articles, including diapers, training pants, incontinence guards, and sanitary napkins. Characteristic for the invention is that at least one of the end portions of the absorbent body has a longitudinally tapering shape with a rounded outer edge and that an elastic means is pretensionally applied in a cover enclosing the absorbent body and extends across the article and in a curved path outside the rounded end portion of the absorbent body and equidistantly from the rounded edge. Due to its striving to contract, the elastic means in the curved path section exerts tensile forces across the elastic in a direction towards the center of curvature of the curved path section. When the article is in use, the elastic means, due to the tensile force, lifts the cover around the rounded edge of the absorbent body for formation of a leakage barrier which projects vertically above the absorbent body.
