Pant-type diaper and corresponding manufacturing process and apparatus

摘要

A prefastened, refastenable pant and methods and apparatus for preparing the same are provided. The pant comprises a chassis having a leading and trailing edge, and first and second lateral edges, wherein the chassis is folded-over along a transverse fold line orthogonal to the first and second lateral edges of the chassis. A pair of first side panels may be attached to the chassis proximal one of the leading and trailing edge of the chassis, each comprising a first fastening component. A pair of second side panels may be attached to the chassis proximal another of the leading and trailing edge of the chassis, each comprising a second fastening component. Each of the pair of first side panels is detachably secured to the chassis and the first fastening components and second fastening components are refastenably engaged between the first and second lateral edges of the chassis.

1. A method of preparing a refastenable article comprising:
providing a refastenable training pant comprising a chassis having a leading edge, a trailing edge, and a first and a second lateral edges extending in a longitudinal direction between the leading edge and the trailing edge, the refastenable training pant comprising a first pair of side panels attached to the chassis proximal one of the leading edge and the trailing edge of the chassis and a second pair of side panels attached to the chassis proximal another of the leading edge and the trailing edge of the chassis, wherein the first pair of side panels each comprise a first distal edge and a first fastening component and the second pair of side panels each comprise a second distal edge and a second fastening component; wherein one of the first distal edges of the first pair of side panels are folded inwardly over the first lateral edge of the chassis and another of the first distal edges of the first pair of side panels are folded over the second lateral edge of the chassis such that the first distal edges and the first fastening components lie between the first and the second lateral edges of the chassis, and wherein one of the second distal edges of the second pair of side panels are folded inwardly over the first lateral edge of the chassis and another of the second distal edges of the second pair of side panels are folded over the second lateral edge of the chassis such that the second distal edges and the second fastening components lie between the first and the second lateral edges of the chassis; and refastenably engaging at least a portion of the first fastening components and at least a portion of the second fastening components while the first fastening components and the second fastening components lie between the first and the second lateral edges of the chassis.
