US Classification:

Abstract:

A selectively releasable, interengaging fastening system that may be used for a variety of articles such as, for example, shoes, garments, disposable absorbent products such as disposable diapers, sanitary napkins, incontinence products and the like. The fastening system includes a first fastener component that can constitute at least a first portion of an article. The first fastener component includes an engagement section having a plurality of substantially non-isotropic engagement members such that the engagement section has an axis of substantially maximal engagement. The fastening system also includes a cooperating fastener component that may constitute at least a second portion of an article such that the first and second portions of the article are capable of being joined by movement of the respective components together generally along an attachment direction into an overlapping and interengaging configuration. The first fastener component is oriented so its axis of substantially maximal engagement is generally orthogonal to the attachment direction. This configuration causes the first fastener component to become more interengaged with the cooperating fastener component as the article is subjected to various forces such as, for example, the type of forces encountered by the fastening system when used on a disposable personal care product that is worn.

International Classification:

A61F013/15
A61F013/20

US Classification:

604385040

Abstract:

An absorbent article, such as a feminine care product, includes a liquid permeable top cover, a generally liquid impermeable baffle, and an absorbent structure disposed between the top cover and outer cover. A wing structure is removably attachable to a garment facing side of the baffle and includes laterally extending flap portions having dimensions so as to wrap around the crotch portion of an undergarment. The garment facing side of baffle includes hook material defined in a pattern extending generally over the surface thereof, the hook material providing a primary attachment between the baffle and the undergarment. The wing structure has a body facing side of a hook compatible material and a garment facing side comprising hook material defined in a pattern extending generally over the surface thereof. The wing structure is variably positionable on and removably attachable over the entirety of the garment facing side of baffle.
