Various fabric products incorporating exterior hydrostatic barriers and processes for manufacturing such fabric products are provided.

A system for making a garment includes a molding body configured to exhibit different heat profiles when contacting a continuous piece of fabric. The different heat profiles cause asymmetrical and/or non-eccentric deformations of the continuous piece of fabric.

The present invention relates to a method and a structure for attaching nonslip members to both sides of a sock, in which nonslip members having a variety of patterns may be firmly attached to an inner side and an outer side of a sock, which need a nonslip member, using a mold, the nonslip member includes air holes to be smoothly ventilated, and a size of the nonslip member is adequately adjusted according to a thickness and an area of the mold.

Polymeric netting comprising polymeric ribbons and polymeric strands, each of the polymeric ribbons and polymeric strands having a length and a width, wherein the length is the longest dimension and the width is the shortest dimension, wherein a plurality of the polymeric strands are bonded together to form a netting layer, wherein adjacent polymeric strands in the netting layer are bonded intermittently at multiple locations along their respective lengths, wherein the netting layer has first and second opposing major surfaces, wherein the polymeric ribbons have a height-to-width aspect ratio of at least 2:1 and a minor surface defined by their width and length, and wherein the minor surface of a plurality of the polymeric ribbons is bonded to the first major surface of the netting layer. Polymeric netting described herein are useful, for example, in an absorbent article.

Articles including a polymer film, a plasticizer and a substrate are included. A method of bonding the film to the substrate includes the use of the plasticizer which provides a durable bond by using a lower temperatures and shorter bonding times than would be required in the absence of the plasticizer.

A substrate assembly is mechanically deformed to form various products. In part, the substrate assembly may advance toward a bonder apparatus. The bonder apparatus rotates about a longitudinal axis and includes a plurality of manifolds. The plurality of manifolds allow for substrate assemblies including different process product pitches to be processed on a single bonder apparatus.

Shaping mold apparatuses and housings for manufacturing a garment apparatus are provided. The garment apparatus can be, for example, a device, a panty, a boyshort, a short, a lingerie item, a barrier, a garment, an undergarment, a membrane, a prophylactic, and/or a system.

An article having as a component a section of nonwoven web formed predominately of polymeric fibers is disclosed. The section of nonwoven web may have a pattern of consolidating bonds impressed on the surface. The bonds may have at least one bond shape; and the bond shape may have a perimeter with a greatest measurable length and greatest measurable width. The perimeter may have a convex portion and an aspect ratio of length/width of at least 2.5. Other features may be imparted relating to the density and orientations of the bonds relative machine and cross directions of the web. The bond shape reflects the shape of a corresponding bonding protrusion on a bonding roller. It is believed that the shape, density and/or orientation of the bonding protrusions affect air flow through the bonding nip in a way that may be utilized to enhance loft of the resulting bonded nonwoven web.

A garment material having a substrate layer and a coagulated layer of polymeric foam material having an open pore structure bonded to the substrate layer, wherein a bonding agent and one or more dressing compounds is adhered to the surface of the substrate layer and/or the surface of the coagulated layer of polymeric material.
