Patent number: 9050216Abstract: An article, including disposable articles and durable articles, includes one or more shaped thermoplastic members, which can be at least partially impregnated into one or more fibrous substrates forming a composite material of the article having regions of breathability, elasticity, and/or stiffening to provide desired functions of the article. The shaped thermoplastic members have a profiled thickness and/or basis weight providing variation in material properties. A percent variation of the profiled thickness of the thermoplastic member can vary from about 5% to about 95%. A process for manufacturing the composite material of the present invention is also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: October 12, 2012Date of Patent: June 9, 2015Assignee: The Procter & Gamble CompanyInventors: John Carroll Molander, David Allan Wallack, Joseph Hung Lam, Fred Naval Desai, Urmish Popatal Dalal, Mark James Kline

Patent number: 8556876Abstract: A personal care article including a thermoplastic magnetic member. The thermoplastic magnetic member is formed of a thermoplastic material with magnetic particles dispersed therethrough. The thermoplastic material comprises a resin selected from the group consisting of polyolefins, thermoplastic elastomers, polyamides, polyacetals, polyethers, polyesters, polyurethanes, poly(meth)acrylates, and compatible mixtures thereof. The magnetic particles are selected from the group consisting of magnetoplumbite-structure ferrite particles, rare-earth magnet particles, and mixtures thereof. The thermoplastic material may be disposed on a surface of a fibrous substrate. A surface of the thermoplastic magnetic member may be profiled. A second thermoplastic magnetic member may have an opposite magnetic polarity and a complementary surface profile such that the two thermoplastic magnetic members may be magnetically joined and mechanically interlocked when in a mated configuration.Type: GrantFiled: June 7, 2006Date of Patent: October 15, 2013Assignee: The Procter & Gamble CompanyInventors: John Carroll Molander, Mark James Kline, Daniel Charles Peck, Tracey Elaine Beckman

Patent number: 8211079Abstract: A tab and slot closure system has a tab member, a slot member, and an anti-pop open device. The tab member has a tab element which has a first region and a second region. The first region includes a proximal edge, and the second region includes a distal edge. The tab element is attached to the substrate element along a line of attachment. The slot member has an inboard portion, an outboard portion, and a slot disposed between the inboard portion and the outboard portion. The anti-pop open device is disposed on either the tab member or the slot member and reduces the likelihood of the tab member unintentionally disengaging the slot member when the tab and slot closure system is fastened.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2005Date of Patent: July 3, 2012Assignee: The Procter & Gamble CompanyInventors: Jeromy Thomas Raycheck, Tracey Elaine Beckman, Mark James Kline, Pablo Ibarra, Kevin Ronald Kanya, Sue Ann Mills, John Carroll Molander

Patent number: 7872169Abstract: A non-elastic thermoplastic film having a noise abatement region and a fastening component. The noise abatement region has a plurality of apertures, wherein each of the plurality of apertures has an area of between about 4 mm2 to about 75 mm2. The fastening component is disposed within the noise abatement region such that the fastening component is surrounded by the noise abatement elements.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2006Date of Patent: January 18, 2011Assignee: The Procter & Gamble CompanyInventors: Oscar Antonio Ruiz, John Carroll Molander

Patent number: 7807861Abstract: Absorbent articles such as disposable diapers, incontinent briefs, diaper holders, training pants, and the like, that provide dynamic fit about the wearer by the use of extensible, outwardly extending side panels. The side panel includes at least one discontinuity for dividing the tensile force extending the side panel into a waist-directing force and a leg-directing force. The waist-directing force is transmitted by the side panel to the waist area of the article to maintain the waist area in a snug, but comfortable, fit against the waist of the wearer. The leg-directing force is transmitted by the side panel to the leg cuff area of the article to prevent leakage between the leg cuff and the wearer's leg.Type: GrantFiled: January 25, 2007Date of Patent: October 5, 2010Assignee: The Procter & Gamble CompanyInventors: John Carroll Molander, Larry Kenneth Johnson

Patent number: 5776121Abstract: Absorbent articles, such as disposable diapers, having two waist regions and a crotch region are provided. The absorbent articles comprise a liquid pervious topsheet, a liquid impervious backsheet, an absorbent core disposed between the topsheet and the backsheet, and a pair of longitudinally extending barrier cuffs. The barrier cuffs are formed from a lateral extension of the topsheet and the backsheet in at least the crotch region of the absorbent article using material that is normally discarded when the crotch area is formed. A cuff area is defined by pairs of laterally opposed cuts in the lateral extension of the topsheet and the backsheet. The cuff area is then folded and joined to the topsheet or other underlying structure to form the barrier cuff and an optional gasketing cuff.Type: GrantFiled: March 20, 1996Date of Patent: July 7, 1998Assignee: The Procter & Gamble CompanyInventors: Donald Carroll Roe, Frank Heinrich Bakes, Dean Jeffrey Daniels, Kimberly Ann Dreier, Michael Thomas Huber, John Carroll Molander
