Abstract:
A disposable undergarment including an absorbent core assembly and methods of making the same is disclosed. The undergarment includes a chassis holding the core assembly. The chassis includes a front section, a crotch section and a rear section. The core assembly is located in the crotch section, with portions of it extending into the front and rear sections. A large plurality of closely spaced elastic threads extends across the full width of the undergarment in the front and rear sections. The elastic threads are broken in the areas of the core assembly. The core assembly includes a first section of a slow acting but high absorbency SAP in pockets thereof and an underlying second section of a fast acting but lower absorbency SAP in pockets thereof.

Claim (Index 21):
A method of making an absorbent core assembly comprising:\n providing a first continuous web of a porous material configured to permit the migration of a liquid therethrough; providing a second continuous web of a porous material configured to permit the migration of a liquid therethrough; applying a slow acting, high absorption capacity SAP on a surface of said first continuous web; fixedly bonding said first and second webs together to form a first quilted web, said first quilted web comprising plural pockets each partially filled with a free volume of said slow acting, high absorption capacity SAP therein; providing a third continuous web of a porous material configured to permit the migration of a liquid therethrough; providing a fourth continuous web of a porous material configured to permit the migration of a liquid therethrough; applying a slow acting, high absorption capacity SAP on a surface of said third continuous web; fixedly bonding said third and fourth webs together to form a second quilted web, said second quilted web comprising plural pockets each partially filled with a free volume of said slow acting, high absorption capacity SAP therein; disposing said first quilted web over said second quilted web to form a first section of said absorbent core assembly, said first section having marginal edges; providing a fifth continuous web of a porous material configured to permit the migration of a liquid therethrough; providing a sixth continuous web of a porous material configured to permit the migration of a liquid therethrough; applying a fast acting, low absorption capacity SAP on a surface of said fifth continuous web; fixedly bonding said fifth and sixth webs together to form a third quilted web, said third quilted web comprising plural pockets each partially filled with a free volume of said fast acting, low absorption capacity SAP therein, said third quilted layer forming a second section of said absorbent core assembly, said second section having marginal edges; providing a web of a wicking layer under said first section and over said second section, whereupon said web of wicking material is sandwiched between said first and second sections; and sealing said marginal edges of said first section to said marginal edges of said second section to form a composite web, said composite web being a precursor for making a plurality of absorbent core assemblies.
