Patent number: 9308131Abstract: A permanently closed containment pant includes an elastically extensible chassis and a sling positioned within the chassis. The sling is joined to the front waist region and the back waist region. The sling includes a fluid-impervious base sheet and a containment flap joined with the base sheet to create a fluid-impervious pouch. The sling also includes a first transition and a second transition that are elastically extensible in a longitudinal direction and in a transverse direction. The base sheet is a fabric laminated with polyurethane and the containment flap is a fabric laminated with polyurethane. The polyurethane surface of the base sheet is ultrasonically joined in facing relationship with the polyurethane surface of the containment flap. The permanently closed containment pant is substantially devoid of an integrated absorbent core.Type: GrantFiled: July 12, 2012Date of Patent: April 12, 2016Assignee: Kimberly-Clark Worldwide, Inc.Inventors: Stacy Elaine Evenson, Stephen Carl Baumgartner, Angela Ann Johnston, Marcille Faye Ruman, Kevin Leon LaBerge, Connie May McMorrow, Brooke Ann Robaidek, Katherine Carol Shaw

Publication number: 20100163161Abstract: A process for making an absorbent garment comprises providing one or more panels that comprise an elastomeric film laminate. A region of the laminate panel is deactivated to create a deactivated region. An absorbent insert comprising an absorbent member is provided. The absorbent insert is attached to the panel, such that a portion of the absorbent member overlaps at least a portion of the deactivated region. Front and back laminate regions can be part of a single integral panel, or can be comprised of separate and longitudinally spaced-apart laminate panels.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 30, 2008Publication date: July 1, 2010Inventors: Eric-John Raoul Gilgenbach, Stephen Carl Baumgartner, Suzanne M.

Publication number: 20100168705Abstract: An absorbent garment comprises an absorbent member and a laminate. The laminate comprises a polymeric film layer and a nonwoven layer, wherein both the polymeric film layer and the nonwoven layer extend substantially throughout the entire area of the laminate. At least a portion of the absorbent member longitudinally overlaps at least a portion of the laminate to define in the laminate an overlapped region and a non-overlapped region. At least a portion of the overlapped region of the laminate is non-elastomeric, and at least a portion of the non-overlapped region of the laminate is elastomeric. In particular embodiments, the laminate is an elastomeric film laminate having an elastomeric film layer, and at least a portion of the overlapped region of the elastomeric film laminate is deactivated.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 30, 2008Publication date: July 1, 2010Inventors: Sara J.
