ABSORBENT ARTICLE HAVING ELASTIC PLEAT

A disposable absorbent article is provided having an absorbent core (20) disposed between a liquid impermeable backsheet (22) and a liquid permeable topsheet (18). The topsheet and backsheet extend outwardly beyond the peripheral egde of the absorbent core to form a border segment (16). In addition,...

Zusammenfassung:	A disposable absorbent article is provided having an absorbent core (20) disposed between a liquid impermeable backsheet (22) and a liquid permeable topsheet (18). The topsheet and backsheet extend outwardly beyond the peripheral egde of the absorbent core to form a border segment (16). In addition, the absorbent article has a longitudinally extending elasticized pleat (12) formed from a side margin extension of the border segment. The elasticized pleats have a first fold (34) defining a first flap (36) and a second fold (38) defining a second flap (40), with the ends of each flap being affixed together and/or to the topsheet. The second flap is elasticized such that contraction thereof causes the opposite ends of the second flap to move toward each other. Thus, a "stand-up" side barrier is formed which acts as a liquid impervious barrier for preventing fluid from leaking laterally from the absorbent article.
