Patent ID: 8551065

Claim:
A closure element with elastic side panels for disposable pant-like absorbent sanitary products, comprising two parts symmetrical relative to a central transverse plane, each of said parts being intended to form a side panel of an absorbent sanitary product, said closure element comprising: a first branch that extends continuously through said central transverse plane, the first branch being made of non-elasticises material consisting of two mutually coupled flat layers of non-woven fabric; two second branches connected to respective opposite ends of the first branch by respective first folds, distal relative to said central transverse plane, the first branch and the two second branches having respective mutually facing surfaces permanently fastened to each other, the two second branches being formed of non-elasticised material consisting of two mutually coupled flat layers of non-woven fabric forming continuous extensions of said mutually coupled layers of the first branch; two third branches of elasticised material connected to respective ends of the second branches by means of respective second folds proximal and distanced relative to said central transverse plane, the third branches being formed by two undulated layers of non-woven fabric forming continuous extensions of said mutually coupled layers of the second branches and a layer of elastic material set between said undulated layers; two fourth branches of elasticised material connected to respective third branches only at respective ends distal relative to said central transverse plane, the fourth branches being formed by two undulated layers of non-woven fabric and a layer of elastic material set between said undulated layers; and two fifth branches of non-elasticised material connected to respective ends of the fourth branches by means of respective third folds, proximal and distanced relative to said central transverse plane, the fifth branches consisting of two mutually coupled flat layers of non-woven fabric forming continuous extensions of said undulated layers of non-woven fabric of said fourth branches.
