<p>The present invention relates to a fastener means for joining together opposing front and rear side-parts (2 and 3 respectively) of an absorbent article (1) in the form of a diaper or the like, so as to form an encircling waistband. The article includes a central part having an absorbent body, and front and rear pliable side-parts which extend from respective sides of the central diaper part. The fastener means (4) is comprised of two mutually coacting first and second fastener elements (5, 6), of which the first element is attached to a front side-part and the second element is attached to the rear side-part on the same side of the central part as its associated first element. According to the invention, the first fastener element or the second fastener element (5, 6) includes a fastening portion which projects out from the perimeter of the waistband and which can be inserted into an insertion opening in the associated second or first fastener element. One of the first or the second fastener element includes at least one locking member (10) which extends generally perpendicular to the insertion direction of the fastener portion and coacts with a locking aperture (9) in the second fastener element when the fastener portion is inserted.</p> |
