A PANT-TYPE ABSORBENT ARTICLE AND A METHOD FOR PRODUCING PANT-TYPE ABSORBENT ARTICLES

摘要

A pant-type absorbent article (1) comprising a chassis structure (6) comprising a front panel (2) having a front end edge (8) and first and second side edges, a back panel (3) having a back end edge (8) and first and second side edges (9) and a crotch panel (4) arranged between the front and back panels (2, 3) at least one of said front and back panels (2, 3) comprising an elastic nonwoven/film laminate, and a core (22) being integrated with the chassis structure (6), the first and second side edges (9) of the front panel (2) being joined by side seams (10) to the corresponding first and second side edges (9) of the back panel (3). Each side seam (10) is formed at least in part in a weldable connecting member (13), the connecting member (13) comprising a first part (27) being secured to a side edge (9) on the front panel (2) and a second part (28) being secured to a corresponding side edge (9) on the back panel (3), said first and second parts (27, 28) of said connecting member (13) being joined by thermowelding to form said side seam (10). The invention also concerns a process for the production of a pant-type absorbent article.
