US Patent 7166096 Pull-on disposable diaper wearing article

A pull-on disposable wearing article has front and rear waist regions and a crotch region extending between the waist regions. Transversely opposite lateral zones of the front and rear waist region are connected to each other in the vicinity of marginal side edges of the lateral zones so as to define a waist-hole and a pair of leg-holes. Hook members used to adjust a waist-circumferential dimension of the article are secured to the front waist region in its lateral zones and loop members on which the hook members are releasably anchored are secured to the front waist region in its middle zone so that the font waist region is normally non-contractible in the waist-circumferential direction.
