Abstract:
A unitary deflection member. The unitary deflection member can have a fluid pervious reinforcing member and a patterned framework. The patterned framework can have a plurality of regularly spaced protuberances extending from the reinforcing member. At least two of said protuberances can be similar in size and shape, and each protuberance can have a transition portion having a transition portion width and a forming portion having a forming portion width. The transition portion width can be less than the forming portion width.

Claim (Index 8):
A process for making a fibrous structure having at least two regions disposed in a non-random repeating pattern, the process comprising the steps of:\n a. providing a unitary deflection member, the unitary deflection member comprising:\n i. a fluid pervious reinforcing member; \n ii. a patterned framework comprising a plurality of regularly spaced apart protuberances extending from said reinforcing member, the space between the protuberances being a deflection conduit into which fibers can be deposited, at least two of said protuberances being similar in size and shape, each said protuberance having a transition portion having a transition portion width and a forming portion having a forming portion width and wherein the transition portion width is less than the forming portion width; and \n iii. wherein the forming portion defines void spaces adjacent the transition portion between the reinforcing member and the forming portion; \n b. providing a plurality of fibers and depositing the plurality of fibers on the unitary deflection member; c. deflecting a portion of the plurality of fibers into the deflection conduits to cause some of the deflected fibers or portions thereof to be disposed within the void spaces, thereby forming a partly-formed fibrous structure; and d. separating the partly-formed fibrous structure from the unitary deflection member, thereby forming the fibrous structure comprising a first plurality of micro-regions formed by the fibers not deflected into the deflection conduits, and a second plurality of micro-regions formed by the fibers deflected into the deflection conduits, including fibrous cantilever portions formed by the fibers deflected into the void spaces.
