Patent number: 8877999Abstract: A disposable absorbent product includes a backsheet, a topsheet overlaying the backsheet, and a core disposed between the backsheet and topsheet for retaining fluid secreted by a wearer of the absorbent product. The core has a length dimension, a width dimension, and a thickness dimension orthogonal to the length and width dimensions. The core includes first and second fluid storage structures, with the first fluid storage structure at least partially surrounding the second fluid storage structure in the thickness dimension. The second fluid storage structure extends along a longitudinal axis and has a head portion, as well as a pair of leg portions, with the leg portions being longitudinally opposed the head portion. Each of the leg portions extends along a minor axis that defines, with the longitudinal axis, an acute included angle.Type: GrantFiled: July 19, 2012Date of Patent: November 4, 2014Assignee: SCA Hygiene Products ABInventors: Raquel Carbonari, Thomas Bergin, Jehann Biggs, Lauren Entrekin, Frank Steven Glaug, Lizelle Canlas Valdecanas, Linda Morrell-Schwartz, Jorge Sievert Nieri, Ramon Andres Urteaga

Patent number: 6384297Abstract: Disclosed herein is a water dispersible pantiliner which has a triggerably dispersible body side facing liner, a garment side facing baffle, and, optionally, a triggerably dispersible absorbent core disposed between the liner and baffle. The garment baffle may be biodegradable. In one embodiment, the invention has a peel strip overlaying a garment attachment adhesive layer which adhesively attaches the peel strip to the clothing of a wearer on one side and to one side of a baffle on the other. The baffle is in turn attached on a second side to a body facing side with a construction adhesive. The body facing side may be made from multiple layers such as a body side liner and absorbent layer.Type: GrantFiled: April 3, 1999Date of Patent: May 7, 2002Assignee: Kimberly-Clark Worldwide, Inc.Inventors: Charles Wilson Colman, Frank Steven Glaug, Yung Hsiang Huang, David Martin Jackson, John Edward Kerins, Jennifer Cappel Larson, Mary Jo Meyer, Pavneet Singh Mumick, Brian Keith Nortman, William Seal Pomplun, Fu-Jya Tsai, Susan Marie Weyenberg
