ABSORBENT WEARING ARTICLE AND PROCESS OF MAKING THE SAME
First Claim
1. An absorbent wearing article comprising:
- an air permeable and liquid-impervious first backsheet and a liquid-retentive absorbent structure placed on said first backsheet;
an outer sheet having elastic members and an area larger than that of said first backsheet being placed on and bonded to a surface of said first backsheet opposed to its surface bonded to said absorbent structure;
said outer sheet having said elastic members intermittently bonded under tension thereto and being formed in a region thereof facing said absorbent structure with an opening;
said elastic members extending laterally under tension from a peripheral edge of said opening beyond opposite side edges of said absorbent structure; and
said first backsheet being exposed through said opening.

Abstract
An absorbent wearing article including an air permeable and liquid-impervious backsheet and a liquid-retentive absorbent structure placed on the backsheet. An outer sheet has having elastic members is placed on and bonded to a surface of the backsheet opposed to its surface bonded to the absorbent structure. The outer sheet has the elastic members intermittently bonded under tension thereto, and is formed in a region thereof facing the absorbent structure with an opening. The elastic members extend laterally under tension from a peripheral edge of the opening beyond the absorbent structure and the first backsheet is exposed through the opening.

6. A process for making an absorbent wearing article including an air permeable and liquid-impervious first backsheet and a liquid-retentive absorbent structure placed upon said first backsheet, comprising the steps of:
-
continuously feeding continuous elastic members in a direction parallel to a machine direction to a continuous outer sheet continuously fed in said machine direction while said continuous elastic members are intermittently bonded under tension to the continuous outer sheet; making cuts extending orthogonally to said machine direction in the continuous outer sheet having said continuous elastic members bonded thereto so that said continuous elastic members are at least partially chopped off; and bonding the side of said absorbent structure facing said first backsheet to said continuous outer sheet. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10)
