METHOD FOR CONTINUOUSLY ATTACHING A RESTRAINED ELASTIC MATERIAL TO AN ABSORBENT ARTICLE

摘要

A method for making an absorbent article for absorbing liquids, particularly body fluids such as menses is disclosed. Discrete segments of tensioned elastic material are adhered to the backsheet. The elastic material is held in tension by a restraint material. A continuous web of wrapper material is fed to an assembly station. A panty fastening adhesive is intermittently applied to the web of wrapper material. The web of wrapper material is secured to the backsheet and the restraint material to form a sanitary napkin assembly. The web of wrapper material is cut into discrete lengths. The sanitary napking assembly is then folded and the wrapper is sealed.
