  • Patent number: 4085754
    Abstract: An improved inner facing for use with disposable diapers containing adhesive tape tabs. The improved inner facing includes a porous nonwoven fabric having at least one entire surface treated with an adhesive release agent so that the treated surface may be a releasable surface for the adhesive tape tabs. The treated fabric is pervious to fluid.

  • Patent number: 4067609
    Abstract: An improved attaching means for affixing a headrest cover to a mounted fastener on seat backs. The improvement comprises an attachment strip having two portions: a first portion which is secured to the headrest cover, and a second portion which extends from the attachment made by the first portion. The second portion of the attachment strip is flexible and has a plurality of openings sufficient to engage the upstanding hook-like elements of the mounted fastener.

  • Patent number: 4067337
    Abstract: An adhesive tape tab for use on disposable diapers which may be peeled and re-used for subsequent fastenings of the diaper without tearing the outside plastic film of the diaper or the tape tab itself. The tape tab has a tape which is fastened on one portion to the diaper. A second, extendable portion of the tape has adhesive material thereon, however, the adhesive material is interrupted and divided into segments by nonadhesive areas formed by a nonadhesive open-mesh sheet material. Each of these adhesive segments has an area so that when the second portion of tape is attached to the outside film the peel strength between tape and film over the segmented area is less than the tearing strength of the film over the same segmented area.

  • Patent number: 4035217
    Abstract: An absorbent facing material comprising 10 to 30% cellulosic, staple length, textile fibers, 60 to 80% of fluff wood pulp, and 5 to 25% of a resin binder material. The cellulosic fibers are substantially only on one surface of the material and the wood pulp substantially only on the opposite surface. The binder is distributed in a predetermined pattern with the surface containing the cellulosic fibers having a higher concentration of binder than the surface containing the wood pulp fibers.

  • Patent number: 3951149
    Abstract: An improved tape tab system for use in disposable diapers in which one end of a first strip of tape is adhesively attached to a diaper. A second strip of tape with one adhesive surface is attached to the free end of the first strip. A releasable cover strip protects the adhesive surface of the second strip. Upon diapering, the cover strip is removed from the adhesive surface of the second strip and the composite strips are fastened to an opposite corner of the diaper, the adhesive surface of the second strip making the original contact and diaper closure. The diaper may be opened for inspection or adjustment by peeling the first strip from the attached second strip, and then reclosed by repositioning the tapes in an overlapping relationship.
