Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods for manufacturing absorbent articles, and in particular, methods for making pre-fastened refastenable pant diapers. Aspects of the methods according to the present disclosure relate to the fabrication of refastenable pant diapers wherein discrete chassis are advanced in a machine direction such that the lateral axis is parallel with the machine direction. First side panels are then refastenably connected with the first waist region, and second side panels are permanently connected the second waist regions of the discrete chassis. The chassis are connected with discrete lengths of side panel material and/or connection zone material. The chassis are then folded, and the first and second side panels are subsequently bonded together. The article is then subjected to knife cut at or adjacent the bonded regions to create discrete, pre-fastened refastenable pant diapers.

First side panels are then refastenably connected with the first waist region, and second side panels are permanently connected the second waist regions of the discrete chassis. The methods disclosed herein connect chassis with discrete lengths of side panel material and/or connection zone material, and forms a continuous web of articles formed by intermittently spaced chassis and intermittently spaced side panels bridging the gap between the intermittently spaced chassis. The chassis are then folded in the cross direction parallel to a lateral centerline and the first and second side panels are subsequently bonded together. The article is then subjected to knife cut adjacent the bonded regions to create discrete, pre-fastened refastenable pant diapers.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to apparatuses for cutting an elastic member suitable for use in absorbent articles. The cutting roll system includes: an anvil roll; and a cutting roll adjacent the anvil roll, the cutting roll adapted to rotate about a roll axis, and wherein the cutting roll comprises a knife block; wherein the knife block comprises at least two rows of knife edges, each row having at least two knife edges arrayed linearly parallel to the roll axis; each row of knife edges circumferentially spaced apart from each other; each knife edge oriented at an angle which does not match with the roll axis direction or a roll circumferential direction, the roll circumferential direction being perpendicular to the roll axis direction; the knife edges in the same knife block staggered with each other such that each elastic strand in the region is cut no more than once.
