See full text

A refastenable tape member (20) for disposable garments comprising a stationary release element (50) secured to the garment, a secondary tape element (30) including an adhesive layer (33) with a portion (34) adhered to the garment and another portion (35) free thereof, and a primary tape element (40) having a lower surface (44) with a major portion (A) releasably joined to the secondary tape element and a minor portion (B) adhesively bonded to the secondary tape element. The primary tape element (40) has an adhesive layer (43) which is releasably joined to the stationary release element (50) when in a storage position. To effect the first closure of the garment, the primary tape element (40) is separated from the release element (50); the adhesive bond between the secondary and primary tape elements (30, 40) along minor portion (B) assures dependable separation of the primary tape element (40) from the release element (50) for this purpose. The secondary tape element (30) is used for second and subsequent closures of the garment.
