WEARABLE ARTICLE WITH HIGHLY EXTENSIBLE FASTENING MEMBER HAVING STRESS DISTRIBUTION FEATURES

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide wearable disposable absorbent articles such as disposable diapers, having elastically extensible fastening members (also sometimes known as fastening "ears") with particular features, extending from a chassis or main portion of the articles.SOLUTION: Fastening members (50a,50b) may be highly extensible and have an overall geometry characterized by greater length nearer a chassis (10) or main portion and lesser length nearer the distal end. Examples disclosed may have a fastener zone (71) having a stiffness of at least about 1,500 N/m, and shape and dimensional characteristics, which help avoid problems of buckling and/or flipping of edges of the fastening members (50a, 50b), dishing of fastener components, and the fastening members (50a, 50b) tearing, while the articles are applied and worn.
