20130214459 | Process For Making An Embossed Web - A process for making an embossed web. A precursor web is provided between a forming structure and a static pressure plenum. The forming structure has a plurality of discrete protruded. elements. Pressure is provided by the static pressure plenum against the precursor web and the forming structure to conform the precursor web to the discrete protruded elements of the forming structure to form the embossed web. The resulting embossed web has a plurality of discrete extended elements having open proximal ends. | 08-22-2013 |
20130221582 | Process For Making An Embossed Web - A process for making an embossed web. A precursor web is provided between a forming structure and a static pressure plenum. The forming structure has a plurality of discrete apertures or depressions. Pressure is provided by the static pressure plenum against the precursor web and the forming structure to force the precursor web into the apertures or depressions of forming structure to form the embossed web. The resulting embossed web has a plurality of discrete extended elements. | 08-29-2013 |
20150173955 | FLEXIBLE MOUNT CONVERTER FOR FABRICATING ABSORBENT ARTICLES - The present disclosure relates to a flexible mount converter and method for manufacturing and/or assembling various components of absorbent articles. The flexible mount converter has improved flexibility, adaptability, and re-configurability over current converting lines. The flexible mount converter typically comprises a combination of the following components: a base supporting a horizontal rail mount system, two or more modular unit operations, access guarding associated with the flexible mount converter. | 06-25-2015 |
20150173965 | MODULAR UNIT OPERATIONS FOR A FLEXIBLE MOUNT CONVERTER - The present disclosure relates to modular unit operations designed for a flexible mount converter and methods for manufacturing and/or assembling various components of absorbent articles. The modular unit operation comprises a modular frame comprising a transformation portion. A drive portion is joined to the drive side of the modular frame, wherein the drive portion is joined without belts and pulleys. The modular unit operations are preferably standardized, configurable, re-usable, re-configurable, and stackable. | 06-25-2015 |
20150176750 | BASE FOR A FLEXIBLE MOUNT CONVERTER - The present disclosure relates to a base designed for a flexible mount converter and method for manufacturing and/or assembling various components of absorbent articles. The base includes a horizontal rail mount system that enables placement of a plurality of modular unit operations in nearly any location imaginable to form the flexible mount converter. The base minimizes materials, change effort, and cost while maximizing flexibility in placement, adjustment, and re-use of modular unit operations. | 06-25-2015 |
