    Abstract: A fiber forming device is disclosed that is well suited to producing nonwoven webs having excellent barrier properties. In one aspect, the fiber forming device can be used to produce meltblown webs or coform webs. The fiber forming device includes a die head containing multiple rows of polymer nozzles for forming fibers. Air flow paths are positioned on either side of the rows of polymer nozzles. In addition, an air flow path is positioned in between the rows of polymer nozzles. The air flow paths produce an attenuating gas stream that attenuates fibers being produced by the polymer nozzles and directs the fibers onto a forming surface for forming nonwoven webs.

    Abstract: An electronic dispenser for dispensing flexible sheet material may include a driven feed roller assembly that is operable to dispense the sheet material though a discharge chute of a housing of the dispenser. The feed roller assembly can comprise a feed roller rotatably mounted within the dispenser housing that includes a body having an outer surface against which the sheet material is engaged to feed the sheet material toward the discharge chute, as well as a drive mechanism that is substantially integrated within the body of the feed roller and operable to drive the feed roller. The dispenser also may include one or more pressing rollers biased toward the body of the feed roller so as to engage the sheet material therebetween, and a control system linked to the drive mechanism to control the operation thereof.

    Abstract: An absorbent article having a liquid-handling system includes a liquid permeable bodyside liner; a liquid impermeable outer cover; and an absorbent core disposed between the liner and the outer cover, wherein the absorbent core has a longitudinal direction, wherein the absorbent core includes a layer of a three-dimensionally patterned, wetlaid, cellulosic tissue nonwoven material, and wherein the layer includes longitudinal ridges and grooves. The absorbent core can include multiple layers of a three-dimensionally patterned, wetlaid, cellulosic tissue nonwoven material, wherein each layer of the multiple layers includes longitudinal ridges and grooves, and wherein the multiple layers are joined by lines of embossing, such lines of embossing extending in the longitudinal direction. Each layer of the multiple layers can include embossed longitudinal ridges and grooves.

    Abstract: A dispenser is disclosed that facilitates loading of new rolls of material and the removal of empty cores. The dispenser includes a cradle roller spaced from a pair of abutment rollers. As a roll of material is dispensed, the diameter of the roll reduces causing the roll to drop from the cradle roller to a collection device. A transfer assembly pivots with the roll so that the sheet material continues to be dispensed from the dispenser without interruption. Once the roll of material drops to the collection device, a new roll of material can be loaded into the dispenser for automatic transfer to the new roll once the first roll of material has been completely depleted.

    Abstract: Absorbent structures and methods of forming absorbent structures are disclosed. An absorbent structure may comprise a body side liner (28), an outer cover (26), and an absorbent structure. The absorbent structure may comprise a top material, a bottom material, a lofty nonwoven reinforcing material between the top material and the bottom material, and an absorbent layer of superabsorbent particles (318) and adhesive filaments (316) between the top material and the lofty nonwoven. The superabsorbent particles (318) may be present at greater than 90% by weight of absorbent material, and the adhesive filaments (316) may form a three-dimensional mesh network comprising network adhesive filaments (316) with the superabsorbent particles (318) immobilized within the mesh network, the network adhesive filaments (316) and superabsorbent particles (318) extending throughout a three-dimensional space defined by the network adhesive filaments (316) and the superabsorbent particles (318), with the network adhesive filaments (316) extending in random orientations throughout the three-dimensional space.
