<p>A flangeless seam (10) especially useful in disposable articles, such as training pants, incontinence articles and the like. The first member (200) preferably has a first proximal portion (212) and a first distal portion (210). The first distal portion (210) is preferably folded upon at least a portion of the first proximal portion (212) to provide a common interface between the first distal portion (210) and the first proximal portion (212) when the seam (10) is in the seaming configuration. The first proximal portion (212) preferably has a first melting point and the first distal portion (210) preferably has a second melting point which is relatively lower than the first melting point. The seam (10) also includes a second member (202) preferably having a second proximal portion (214) and a second distal portion (213). The second member (202) preferably has a third melting point which is lower than the first melting point. The first distal portion (210) and the second distal portion (213) are joined to one another at a temperature which is relatively lower than the first melting point of the first proximal portion (212) and at least a part of the first proximal portion (212) is not joined to at least a part of the first distal portion (210) such that the unjoined parts of the first proximal portion (212) and the first distal portion (210) may be separated to provide the seam (10) in its open configuration.</p> |
