Patent number: 6803103Abstract: A condrapable hydrophobic nonwoven web of continuous fibers includes a hydrophobic nonwoven web of continuous fibers, and a fiber surface-modifying agent on the web to form therewith a condrapable hydrophobic web. The agent is essentially an amino-modified polydimethylsiloxane. The condrapable hydrophobic web is characterized by a substantial hydrophobicity, as measured by a strike-through of over 180 seconds and by a substantial increase in condrapability, as measured by a Handle-O-Meter decrease of at least 15% average for MD and CD.Type: GrantFiled: June 25, 2003Date of Patent: October 12, 2004Assignees: First Quality Nonwovens, Inc., Schill & Seilacher AktiengesellschaftInventors: Michael Kauschke, Mordechai Turi, Horst Ring, Sabine Borst

Patent number: 6521555Abstract: A method of making a non-woven fibrous media, combining high vapor permeability and low liquid permeability, includes the steps of providing a non-woven fabric formed from fibers that are prematurely crystallized during fabric formation and have a wide heat of fusion range distribution, and calendering the fabric to soften the small polymer crystals therein of low heats of fusion, but not the relatively larger polymer crystals therein of relatively higher heats of fusion, thereby to retain high vapor permeability while providing low liquid permeability. The polymer is preferably isotactic polypropylene.Type: GrantFiled: February 2, 2000Date of Patent: February 18, 2003Assignee: First Quality Nonwovens, Inc.Inventors: Hassan Bodaghi, Michael Kauschke, Mordechai Turi

Patent number: 6436512Abstract: A nonwoven fabric from spun fibers wherein the density of the spun fibers in the fabric varies between strips of relatively high density and strips of relatively low density. The strips extend along the length of the fabric in the machine direction in an alternating pattern, with the high density strips separated from each other by low density strips. The alternating high density and low density strips provide the fabric with a higher percent elongation in the cross direction than in the machine direction. The alternating pattern is achieved through use of a pattern screen defining a plurality of elongated air permeable regions separated by elongated substantially or relatively air impermeable regions, the elongated regions extending in the machine direction in an alternating pattern, with the air permeable regions separated from each other by the substantially or relatively air impermeable regions.Type: GrantFiled: September 14, 2001Date of Patent: August 20, 2002Assignee: First Quality Nonwovens, Inc.Inventors: Michael Kauschke, Mordechai Turi

Patent number: 6413249Abstract: An integral disposable elasticized absorbent article is provided for use as infant training pants or adult incontinent underpants, briefs and the like. The article comprises an absorbent body having a liquid pervious top layer, a liquid impervious backsheet and a liquid absorbent layer therebetween. A pair of elasticized members (belts) are secured to the absorbent body, with one elasticized member being disposed substantially parallel to the left of the longitudinal axis of the article, and the second elasticized member being disposed substantially parallel to the right of the longitudinal axis of the article. Each elasticized member has an end closure means adapted to engage the end closure means of the other elastic member to secure the absorbent article firmly to the body of the wearer.Type: GrantFiled: June 12, 1998Date of Patent: July 2, 2002Assignee: First Quality Enterprises, Inc.Inventors: Mordechai Turi, Michael Kauschke

Patent number: 5997986Abstract: Apertured plastic films comprise a stretchable thermoplastic polymeric material having a plurality of micro-holes defined by a network of fiber-like elements. The films are produced by directing fluids, especially water, against the upper surface of a starting film in the form of columnar streams in a contact zone, while the film is supported on a backing element. The films of the invention are useful as covering materials for absorbent products such as diapers, wound dressings and sanitary napkins.Type: GrantFiled: December 11, 1996Date of Patent: December 7, 1999Assignee: ChicopeeInventors: Mordechai Turi, Edmund Z.

Patent number: 5895380Abstract: This invention provides absorbent products, having a permeable cover made of a microperforated fibrillated thermoplastic film that has improved properties such as intimate, but nonoccluding contact with the body, yet providing comfort and resilience and immediate fluid acceptance and distribution. The cover is characterized by having non perforate regions and perforate regions, the perforate regions having a plurality of microholes defined by a network of fiberlike elements, the perforate regions being, at least in part, at elevations that are higher than the nonperforate regions. The perforate regions are caused to be at higher elevations by methods such as tensioning the cover or by partly adhering the cover to the absorbent body of the product or by combinations thereof. The microholes may be of different sizes and shapes.Type: GrantFiled: February 19, 1997Date of Patent: April 20, 1999Assignee: McNeil-PPC, Inc.Inventors: Mordechai Turi, Pramod S.

Patent number: 5824352Abstract: An apparatus for producing an apertured plastic film having a tricot-like texture. The apparatus includes a film forming member comprising a rotatable hollow drum having a pattern of apertures and a topographical outer surface formed by a cluster of peaks and valleys surrounding each aperture. A plastic film is placed on the apices of the peaks and fluid streams are projected against the film while the drum is rotated. The fluid forces the film against the topographical outer surface of the drum causing the film to become apertured and to have a tricot-like texture corresponding to the pattern of apertures and peaks and valleys.Type: GrantFiled: November 12, 1996Date of Patent: October 20, 1998Assignee: McNeil-PPC, Inc.Inventors: Ching-Yun Morris Yang, Charles Shimalla, Mordechai Turi
