Patent ID: 8690850

Claim:
A diaper comprising: a waist band, side panels, leg cuffs and a hook and loop fastening system landing zone, wherein at least one of the waist band, side panels, leg cuffs and landing zone includes a textile material having at least one localized discreet zone of stretchable character, the textile material having a machine direction and a cross machine direction and including; a substrate layer having a width; a first plurality of inelastic yarns disposed in a first pattern of stitches through the substrate layer to define at least a first localized defined stitch zone extending partially across the width of the substrate layer, the first localized defined stitch zone comprising a plurality of substantially parallel side by side stitch lines formed by the first plurality of inelastic yarns and running along the machine direction of the textile material, wherein a multiplicity of the side by side stitch lines are disposed in substantially parallel spaced relation to one another across the width of the first localized defined stitch zone; and a second plurality of elastomeric yarns disposed in a second pattern of stitches through the substrate layer to define at least a second localized defined stitch zone in adjacent, discreet relation to the first localized defined stitch zone, the second localized defined stitch zone comprising a plurality of zigzag stitch lines formed by the second plurality of elastomeric yarns, wherein a multiplicity of zigzag stitch lines are disposed in adjacent spaced relation to one another across the width of the second localized defined stitch zone, the second localized defined stitch zone characterized by increased stretch in the cross machine direction relative to the first localized defined stitch zone.
