DIAPER WITH IMPROVED CUFFS AND COMFORT

摘要

An diaper is disclosed. The diaper may have a topsheet, backsheet and absorbent core disposed between the topsheet and backsheet; a pair of longitudinal side edges, a pair of longitudinally extending barrier cuffs, and a transverse separator connecting the barrier cuffs in a crotch region of the diaper, between a front region and a back region. Each barrier cuff may have a proximal attached edge and a distal edge. The distal edge may be attached to the diaper at a distal edge attachment point in the front or rear region. The transverse separator may be attached to the barrier cuff at a separator attachment point. The separator attachment point may be located a first distance from the proximate longitudinal side edge and the distal edge attachment point may be located a second distance from the same longitudinal side edge; and the first distance may be greater than the second distance.

主权项

1. An infant or adult diaper having a longitudinal centerline and a lateral centerline perpendicular to the longitudinal centerline and having a first longitudinal edge and a second longitudinal side edge on either side of and parallel to the longitudinal centerline, wherein the diaper comprises a topsheet and a backsheet and positioned therein between an absorbent core, and at least a first longitudinally extending elastic cuff positioned on one of the longitudinal sides of the topsheet and on the same side than the first longitudinal side edge, and wherein the diaper has a crotch region, positioned in between a front region and a back region and the first longitudinally extending elastic cuff having a crotch region, positioned in between a front region and a back region, these regions of the longitudinally extending elastic cuffs being positioned in the respective regions of the diaper, and the first longitudinally extending elastic cuff having a proximal edge, at which the first longitudinally extending elastic cuff is attached to the diaper and the first longitudinally extending elastic cuff having a distal edge, the distal edge being attached to the diaper at at least one distal edge attachment point, the crotch region of distal edge not being attached to the diaper and forming a free flap and wherein the diaper comprises a transverse separator being attached to the first longitudinally extending elastic cuff at a first separator attachment point, the transverse separator extending in a generally transverse direction and being able to extert a force onto the first longitudinally extending elastic cuff, wherein the distal edge attachment point is closer to the longitudinal edges of the diaper than the first separator attachment point.
