  • Patent number: 9066832
    Abstract: In an incontinence article in pant form, a crotch section is connected to stomach and back sections in respective overlapping regions of the crotch section and the stomach section and the crotch section and the back section, by means of multiple adhesive strips extending spaced apart from one another in a transverse direction of the incontinence article, wherein the adhesive strips occupy essentially the entire respective overlapping region, and wherein a width at least those ones of the adhesive strips transverse to their extend that are located inwardly of other ones of the adhesive strips that are located at a border side of the respective overlapping region, is 1 mm to at most 5 mm, and wherein a width of the adhesive-free strips transverse to their extent is at least 1 mm to at most 15 mm.

  • Patent number: 9066833
    Abstract: In an incontinence article in pant form, a crotch section having an absorption body, is connected to stomach and back sections in respective overlapping regions of the crotch section and the stomach section, and the crotch section and the back section, wherein the incontinence article has a first fold axis formed by a transverse center axis of the incontinence article, second fold axes extending outside on either side of the absorption body, and a third fold axis in a region of the absorption body, wherein regions of the stomach section and the back section which laterally protrude over the crotch section are folded about the second fold axes toward the longitudinal center axis, wherein after folding the incontinence article about the third folding axis, the border of the stomach and back band does not protrude over the first fold axis wherein a mass per area of the absorption body decreases from a region of the transverse center axis toward stomach-section side and back-section side ends of the absorption bo

  • Patent number: 9050217
    Abstract: In an incontinence article in pant form, a crotch section is connected to stomach and back sections in respective overlapping regions of the crotch section and the stomach section and the crotch section and the back section, by means of multiple adhesive strips extending spaced apart from one another in a transverse direction of the incontinence article, whereby visually and/or tactilely perceivable structures are formed on the outer visible side of the incontinence article in the respective overlapping regions, which structures correspond in their course to a course of the adhesive strips.

  • Patent number: 9016112
    Abstract: A method for determining the moisture content in an absorbent sanitary product, in particular a diaper, incontinence pad or incontinence briefs, or sanitary towel, wherein liquid is first applied to the sanitary product under preferably predetermined conditions and subsequently the article is spread out in a planar fashion. A plurality of zoned measurement areas is defined over the planar extension of the spread-out sanitary article, and a measured value is taken in each measurement area or with respect to each measurement area.

  • Patent number: 9011405
    Abstract: In an incontinence article in pant form, a longitudinal extent of respective lateral seams is 100-170 mm, a ratio between this extent and an extent of the incontinence article between a waist border and a transverse center axis of the incontinence article is at most 0.42, wherein first elastifying means have a distance to one another which is at least 20% greater than a distance between second elastifying means to one another defined in the lateral seam region of the incontinence article, wherein the first elastifying means have a thread strength which is at least 20% greater than a thread strength of the second elastifying means, wherein the first and second elastifying means are fixed in the stomach section and in the back section with a pre-tension, and wherein the pre-tension of the first elastifying means is at least 10% greater than the pretension of the second elastifying means.

  • Publication number: 20130211366
    Abstract: The invention relates to an incontinence article (2) in the form of briefs, with a stomach portion (4), a back portion (6) and extending between these in the longitudinal direction (9), a crotch portion (8) which has an absorption body (7) with longitudinal edges (46) and which overlaps the stomach and back portions in the front and rear overlap regions (36, 38) to form a layered structure (13) in the Z-direction (11) and is attached non-releasably thereto in front and rear connection regions (306, 308). The backsheet material (62) and topsheet material (84) surrounding the absorption body extend in the transverse direction (16) outside the longitudinal edges of the absorption body to form an overhang (66a, 66b), which amounts in total to at least 25% relative to a maximum width (E) of the crotch portion. The overhang in each case has first regions (65a, 65a?, 65b, 65b?), which extend inside the overlap regions.
