- a portion of the inner surface and a portion of the outer surface of each of the belt portions may be formed from a single web of material.
- a portion or the whole of the main body 38 may be made extensible to a degree greater than the inherent extensibility of the material or materials from which the main body 38 is made, e.g. , the backsheet 60.
- the additional extensibility may be desirable in order to allow the main body 38 to conform to the body of a wearer during movement by the wearer and or to provide adequate body coverage.
- the additional extensibility may also be desirable, for example, in order to allow the user of a absorbent article including a main body 38 having a particular size before extension to extend the front waist region 26, the back waist region 28, or both waist regions of the main body 38 to provide additional body coverage for wearers of differing size, i.e., to tailor the article to the individual wearer.
- Such extension of the waist region or regions may give the main body 38 a generally hourglass shape, so long as the crotch region is extended to a relatively lesser degree than the waist region or regions, and may impart a tailored appearance to the article when it is worn.
- the additional extensibility may be desirable in order to minimize the cost of the article 10. For example, an amount of material that would otherwise be sufficient only to make a relatively smaller article lacking this extensibility can be used to make an article capable of being extended to adequately cover a wearer that is larger than the unextended smaller absorbent article would fit.
- a portion of the main body 38 for example a portion of the chassis in one or both of the waist regions 26, 28 may be made laterally extensible to a maximum extensibility greater than a maximum extensibility of another portion of the main body 38 in the crotch region such that a lateral extension of each of the portions to its maximum extensibility imparts an hourglass shape to the main body 38.
- the portion of the main body 38 underlying and/or immediately adjacent one or both of the front and back extensible belts may be made laterally extensible to a maximum extensibility greater than a maximum extensibility of another portion of the main body 38, for example the crotch region, such that a lateral extension of each of the portions to its maximum extensibility facilitates application of the absorbent article onto the body of a wearer by enabling the waist regions to be extended to fit over the wearer's hips and in addition, opening and orienting the leg openings enabling the wearer to place the legs through the openings more effectively.
- Additional lateral extensibility in the main body 38 may be provided in a variety of ways.
- a material or materials from which the main body 38 is made may be pleated by any of many known methods.
- all or a portion of the main body 38 may be made of a formed web material or a formed laminate of web materials like those described in U.S. Patent No. 5,518,801 issued on 21 May 1996 in the name of Chappell et al.
- This formed web material includes distinct laterally extending regions in which the original material has been altered by embossing or another method of deformation to create a pattern of generally longitudinally oriented alternating ridges and valleys and also includes laterally extending unaltered regions between the laterally extending altered regions.
- the formed web material can be extended in a direction perpendicular to the ridges up to the point where the ridges and valleys flatten with substantially less force than is required to extend beyond that point.
- the creation of a formed laminate web as described above provides a main body 38 backsheet with improved texture and cloth-like appearance and feel. The deformation creates a cloth-like pattern in the film and increases the loft of the nonwoven in multi-layer film and nonwoven laminate backsheets.
- a portion of the absorbent article can be ring-rolled and thus rendered highly extensible as described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,366,782 (issued Nov. 22, 1994 to Curro, et al).
- a ring-rolling apparatus includes opposing rolls having intermeshing teeth that incrementally stretch and thereby plastically deform the material forming the absorbent article (or a portion thereof) thereby rendering the article extensible in the ring-rolled regions.
- the absorbent article can be ring-rolled in a portion of at least one of the front or back waist regions, for example the portion of the main body 38 underlying and/or immediately adjacent one or both of the front and back belts 84, 86, while other regions may comprise a structured elastic-like formed web material.
- the article may be ring-rolled across the entire width in one or both of the waist regions or alternatively may be ring-rolled over only a portion of the main body 38 width or over only a portion of one or both of the belts.
- the main body 38 may have a different range of extensibility from other portions of the main body 38. Additionally or alternatively, the laterally central portions may be extensible to a greater or lesser degree when subjected to a given level of opposing tensile forces, i.e., may be more easily or less easily extensible, than other portions of the main body 38.
- the main body 38 may comprise a liquid pervious topsheet 58, a liquid impervious backsheet 60 and an absorbent core 62 disposed therebetween.
- the main body 38 may additionally comprise a barrier leg cuff 64 disposed along the longitudinal side edge 48. The barrier leg cuff 64 provides improved containment of liquids and other body exudates in the crotch region 30.

- the barrier leg cuff may be folded along the folding line 66 back toward the longitudinal side edge 48.
- the barrier leg cuff 64 may have a first barrier cuff elastic material 72 adjacent to the distal portion 68 and a second barrier cuff elastic material 73 adjacent to the proximal portion 70 of the barrier leg cuff 64.
- the proximal portion 70 of the barrier leg cuff 64 may be joined to the backsheet 60 adjacent to the longitudinal side edge 48.
- the portion of the barrier leg cuff 64 along the folding line 66 and the distal portion 68 may be free from attachment to any portion of the main body 38 in the crotch region 30 such that the barrier leg cuff 64 stands up toward the wearer's body.
- the transverse end 74 of the barrier leg cuff 64 may be joined to the topsheet 58 at or adjacent the longitudinally opposing ends of the leg cuff by an attachment means which may be any known means such as an adhesive, heat bond, pressure bond or the like as shown in Fig. 5A.
- Examples of acceptable cuffs 64 are disclosed in U.S. S.N. 13/457,521, filed April 27, 2012, including the configurations disclosed by Figures 8a-t. For, instance, as illustrated in Fig.
- the barrier leg cuff may be a two-piece cuff.
- the cuff 64 may be joined to the backsheet with a no leak bead 215 that runs along the entire longitudinal length of the cuff and/or the backsheet film 60.
- the liquid pervious topsheet 58 may be positioned adjacent the body-facing surface of the absorbent core 62 and may be joined thereto and/or to the backsheet 60 by any attachment means known in the art.
- the liquid impervious backsheet 60 is generally that portion of the absorbent article 20 positioned adjacent the garment-facing surface of the absorbent core 62 and prevents the exudates absorbed and contained therein from soiling articles that may contact the absorbent article 20.

- the absorbent core may comprise a fluid acquisition component, a fluid distribution component, and a fluid storage component.
- a suitable absorbent core having a fluid acquisition component, a fluid distribution component, and a fluid storage component is described in U.S. Pat. No. 6,590,136.
- Examples of acceptable air felt free cores i.e., absorbent core systems having little or no air felt) are disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,562,646, 7,750,203, 7,744,576 and U.S. Pub. Nos. 2008/0312617A1, 2008/0312619A1, and 2004/0097895A1.

- the belt 40 may comprise a front belt 84 and a back belt 86 (hereinafter may be referred to as "front and back belt 84, 86) and has a ring-like configuration by permanently or refastenably connecting the front belt 84 and the back belt 86 at the seams 32 or by permanently or refastenably connecting the front and/or back belt to the main body 38.
- Articles of the present disclosure may have refastenable elements, configurations, and methods of making as disclosed in U.S.S.N.s 61/787,416, filed on March 15, 2013, as well as U.S.S.N. 61/787,332, filed on March 15, 2013.
- the belt 40 may be ring-like and elastic.
- the ring-like elastic belt 40 extends transversely about the waist opening 36 of the absorbent article 20 and acts to dynamically create fitment forces and to distribute the forces dynamically generated during wear.
- improved fit can be created by controlling the distance between, linear density, and and the pre- strain of the elastomeric material in relation to each other and to the openings for the body. This may occur by choosing different materials throughout the belt 40 that exhibit desired properties. The different materials are combined at specific distances, linear densities, and prestrains to create a belt 40 that acts to dynamically create fitment forces.
- the articles of this disclosure may have the characteristics of the articles of Examples 1-4 as disclosed in U.S.S.N.
- Articles of the present disclosure may also have the same stress, strain and spacing of its elastics as disclosed in U.S.S.N. 13/764,990 and/or as disclosed in U.S. Serial No. 61/598,012, filed February 13, 2012. Articles of the present disclosure may also have the same elastic sections and force zones disclosed in U.S.S.N. 13/764,990.
- the front belt 84 may comprise 5 to 50 elastic strands.
- the front belt 84 may comprise 10 to 20 elastic strands.
- the back belt 86 may comprise 5 to 50 elastic strands.
- the back belt 86 may comprise 10 to 20 elastic strands.
- the elastic strands are distributed amongst the different force zones. Elastic strands may be distributed evenly amongst the force zones. Elastic strands may also be distributed unevenly amongst the different force zones. Each force zone comprises at least one elastic strand.
- the elastic strands may have a linear density between 200 to 2500.
- Linear density is the density of the elastic fibers in the elastic strand.
- the most commonly used unit for the linear density is the decitex, abbreviated dtex, which is the mass in grams per 10,000 meters.
- the linear density may be used to change the force profile. For example, one could reach a desired force profile by selecting the linear density of a single elastic strand, combining multiple elastic strands with a smaller linear density in close proximity to each other, and/or combining with other elastomeric materials.
- the elastic strands may have an elastic pre-strain.
- the elastic pre-strain is the percent of length increase in an elastic strand or plurality of elastic strands at the point of combining the elastic(s) with the first and/or second belt layers. For example a strand with a free length of 15 centimeters (cm) may have a load applied such that the 15 cm elastic strand is now 18 cm long. This length increase of 3 cm is 20% of 15 cm (3/15), or a 20% strain.
- the elastic pre-strain may be used to change the force profile of a single elastic strand or a plurality of elastic strands. Force profiles may also be changed by changing the linear density in conjunction with the elastic pre-strain of one or more elastic strands.
- the number of elastic strands in each zone may be changed according to the placement of the absorbent core. Applicants have found that the use of thinner absorbent cores may lead to a need in increased elastic force to compensate for the change in article thickness.
- the force profile must be adjusted depending on the location and thickness of the absorbent core. This particularly affects the second elastic section and third elastic section.
- the elastic strands disposed in the belt may be aligned in a curved fashion so that the a tangent of the curve of the elastic strands may form an acute angle with the centerline or may form an arcuate shape. This may allow for targeting the force profile and/or coordinating print and elastication/rugosities/elastics in the stretch sections. It may be desirable to use the hot air seaming processes, as well as the article forming processes disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 6,248,195 and U.S.S.N.s 12/795021, 13/401907, and 13/402056 for seaming articles as disclosed herein. And, the articles disclosed herein may have graphics in accordance with U.S.S.N.s 61/646,953 and 61/646,979, each filed on May 15, 2012.
- a suitable tensile tester such as an MTS Alliance with MTS Testworks version 4.0 or equivalent instrument is used.
- the tester is equipped with flat clamps that are capable of holding at least the entire transverse length of the side seam should be used.
- the instrument is calibrated according to the manufacturer's specification. Testing is performed at 23 °C + 2°C and 50% + 2% relative humidity.
- test sample Each separated section of the front and back belt will be referred to as a "test sample" herein. All material layers, including the chassis components, should be kept with the test sample. All cut lines are straight, parallel to the transverse direction of the absorbent article. Each test sample needs to have at least one elastomeric material. The widths (a dimension in the longitudinal direction of the absorbent article) of the respective zones are measured.
- the length of the test sample is determined.
- the length measures in the transverse direction of the absorbent article a distance from one end to the other end of a test sample in a fully stretched condition.
- the fully stretched condition is the condition where the test sample is stretched by the force of 0.1 N/mm multiplied by the width of the test sample. If one or both ends of a test sample are not parallel to the longitudinal direction, the shortest length within the test sample is considered as the length of the test sample.
- An adjusted test sample length is defined such that the length of a test sample minus the combined length of any material in the upper and lower clamps. Thus, if a test sample is mounted in the clamp so that 10 mm at each end is held in the clamps, then the adjusted belt length is the measured belt length minus 20 mm.
- test samples are kept unstretched at least for 10 min before the test.
- the initial gauge length of the tensile tester is set to allow the test sample to be mounted in a relaxed state.
- the load cell is zeroed to offset the sample weight.
- the test sample is stretched in the transverse direction of the absorbent article at a rate of 254 mm/min, and a load (N) is measured within 5 sec after the test sample reaches at 65% of the adjusted test sample length.
- the transverse force is calculated for each of the force zones according to an equation:
- a transverse force (N/mm) of a test sample Measured value (N) / width of the force zone (mm)
