Abstract: An apparatus for executing a method of manufacturing multi-piece closed-back isolation garments (10) includes machinery for creating discrete torso web pieces (12) from a continuous torso web, combining the discrete torso pieces with a continuous shoulder web (14) having neck openings (444) therein, and cutting the combined torso and shoulder web structure to form the isolation garments. The isolation garments may be used as protection from potentially hazardous or unclean materials in a variety of different environments.

Abstract: A web unwinding and splicing system includes a turret unwind having a turret arm with rotatable shafts at opposing ends thereof to unwind a running web of an expiring web material roll and unwind a waiting web of a new web material roll. A web splicing unit operable with the turret unwind includes a web deflection device that bumps the running web onto the waiting web to splice the running web with the waiting web and a cutting device that selectively severs the running web, thereby creating a leading portion of the running web that is spliced to the waiting web and a trailing portion of the running web that remains separate from the waiting web. A vacuum system is positioned proximate the running web to suction in the trailing portion of the running web left on the expiring web material roll.

Abstract: An elastic composite structure includes a plurality of tensioned elastic threads positioned between first and second web layers. A pattern of laminating bonds fuse the first and second web layers together within a deactivated zone of the elastic composite structure. A cut end of a first portion of a tensioned elastic thread and a cut end of a second portion of the tensioned elastic thread are positioned on opposing ends of the deactivated zone. A pattern of anchoring bonds fuses the first and second web layers together within an anchored zone bounding opposing ends of the deactivated zone. The anchored zone includes a first plurality of bonds that anchor the first portion of the tensioned elastic thread to the first and second web layers and a second plurality of bonds arranged that anchor the second portion of the tensioned elastic thread to the first and second web layers.

Abstract: An apparatus and method is provided for single transfer insert placement. The apparatus receives continuous web material and cuts a discrete section or pad from the web. The pad is then supported on a single transfer surface. The single transfer surface then may spin the supported pad to a desired angle and provide the pad to a receiving surface at a desired interval. The web material can be cut to different insert lengths and the placement location varied.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods are provided to minimize waste and improve quality and production in web processing operations. The apparatus and methods provide defect detection in deposition of acquisition material, which on current machines frequently flips and is difficult to detect when it has flipped causing manufacturers to scrap thousands of products. Using the present invention, defects are able to be detected by discerning a difference in the appearance from side to side with a vision camera, and an acquisition inverter can flip the material to a correct orientation.

Abstract: A machine for producing disposable products anticipates when a current run of a product size is coming to an end, and therefore begins loading of material rolls intended for the next product size or code that will be run. An integrated production facility layout automatically orders and stocks raw material based on production plans, and commands a production machine to produce specific products of differing configurations, and automatically loads appropriately sized raw materials into the process.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method of providing a disposable product with a contoured leg opening. In this method at least one chip is removed from at least one ear of a disposable product. The chip may be removed from an ear prior to attaching the ear to the chassis web. Alternatively, the chip may be removed from the ear after the ear is attached to the chassis web.
