Abstract: The invention relates to a method for continuously manufacturing elastic pants (28), wherein a flat web material (1, 16, 19) is continuously conveyed in a longitudinal direction (8) of the web material (1, 16, 19), is shaped into a closed tube (4), and is closed in the longitudinal direction (8). The closed tube (4) forms a first outer layer (9). Elastic threads (10) in the form of a tubular reinforcement are then wound around the first outer layer (9) in the conveying direction (8) in such a way that the elastic threads (10) are taut when the outer layer (9) has a convex shape. A second outer layer (15) is then continuously applied to the elastic threads (10) in the conveying direction (8) and is joined to the elastic threads (10) and/or the first outer layer (9). The first outer layer (9), the elastic threads (10) and the second outer layer (15) form an elastic pants web material (21).

Abstract: An absorbent hygiene product for acquiring fluids, having a flexurally yielding topsheet and a flexurally yielding backsheet, has, disposed between these sheets, an absorbent laminate, which in turn has two flexurally yielding outer plies, arranged adheringly between which are at least two diagonally intersecting, pre-tensioned plies of elastic filaments, a quantity of a superabsorbent polymer being incorporated in each of the discrete sections thus formed, and the topsheet-side outer ply of the laminate consists of a hydrophobic material, and the backsheet-side outer ply of the laminate consists of a hydrophilic material.

Abstract: Laminates are described herein. A laminate is characterized in that the laminate contains a water-absorbing polymer known as a super-absorbent polymer (SAP) between one or more elastic interplies, wherein the interplies consist of sheetlike lengths of material which are firmly bonded together on the outside surface of individual threads, strands or bands and this laminate is extendable essentially transversely to the production direction and shirred in a relaxed state, and the elastic interplies contain many individual sections or cassettes of superabsorbent and create room for the expansion of the laminate on fluid imbibition perpendicularly to and within the manufacturing plane.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the continuous production of a flexible liquid-absorbing web material having two outer layers, at least one of which is formed by a textile material, between which are inserted at least two stretchable-elastic intermediate layers that are pre-stressed with respect to said layers and comprise filaments or bands arranged running in opposite directions to each other and obliquely with respect to the production direction. The intermediate layers shorten and gather the web material substantially transversely to the production direction thereof when the intermediate layers are relieved of stress. Powder-form or fibre-form inserts, which have absorbent properties for liquids, such as urine, blood, water or sweat, or resorbing properties, such as release of medicinal substances, cosmetic ingredients or for generating heat/cold, are introduced into the free spaces of the elastic intermediate layer.
