  • Patent number: 7090087
    Abstract: The present invention has a radius rectangular base with a platform lying in a base plane. Four slots are through, the base in a generally rectangular configuration around the perimeter of the base. Four members are provided, one for being removeably inserted into each slot. The members preferably snap fit into the base, and have lengths that upstand from the base. Each member has a wall lying in a respective plane. The members are resiliently deflectable throughout their respective lengths that upstand from the base. Each side member deflects so that the top of a container received within the present invention rests on the surface of the base. The side members engage the body of the container to keep it in an inverted and vertical orientation. The center of gravity of the container is kept as low as possible in this regard.

  • Patent number: 6743321
    Abstract: A method for fabricating a refastenable absorbent garment includes moving a continuous body panel web in a machine direction and successively fixedly securing a plurality of discrete fastener pieces, spaced along the machine direction, to the body panel web. Each of the fastener pieces comprises a first and second end also spaced along the machine direction. The method further includes successively cutting said body panel web and each of the fastener pieces along a cross direction between the first and second ends of each of the fastener pieces and thereby forming a plurality of discrete body panels each comprising opposite side edges and a plurality of pairs of fastener members fixedly secured to one of the plurality of body panels and a next successive body panel.
