International ClassA61F 013/15AbstractA method of producing refastenable side seams in an absorbent garment results in an absorbent garment that is adapted to easy application and removal. The refastenable side seams can be produced in a cross direction. Each of the refastenable side seams includes a lap side seam, which puts the seams under shearing strain during use, as opposed to peel forces.Field of SearchAdhesive application of fasteners to articles (e.g., slide fastener to garment)Folding Folding only By folding Perforating lamina Of continuous or running length bonded web One web only Pad having means for securing pad during use Adhesive tab fastener element By fabric strip fastener element (e.g., hook and loop type fastener) | |
