The closure tapes are useful in the manufacture of disposable articles, and particularly disposable diapers. The closure tapes generally include a fastening component, an extension component, and a bonding component. The tape systems provide a new folding configuration and reduced adhesive along a face of the extension component. Also described are disposable articles utilizing the tape closure assemblies. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A fastener tape assembly comprising: a fastening component defining a folded edge; a bonding component defining a first face for affixment to a diaper or substrate and an oppositely directed second face; an extension component having an edge received within the folded edge of the fastening component and generally disposed between the fastening component and the bonding component; wherein the folded edge of the fastening component and the edge of the extension component extend beyond an edge of the bonding component. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The fastener tape assembly of claim 1 wherein the extension component defines a face directed toward the bonding component and the face includes at least one of (i) a region of patterned adhesive, and (ii) an adhesive-free region. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The fastener tape assembly of claim 1 wherein adhesive is provided in a region of the folded edge to thereby bond the fastening component with the extension component. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The fastener tape assembly of claim 1 wherein adhesive is provided along at least a portion of the edge of the extension component that is received within the folded edge to thereby bond the fastening component with the extension component. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The fastener tape assembly of claim 1 wherein the fastener tape assembly is in a roll form. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The fastener tape assembly of claim 1, wherein at least one of the fastening component, the extension component, or the bonding component comprises a polymeric film selected from the group consisting of a polypropylene, a polyethylene and a combination thereof. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The fastener assembly according to claim 1, wherein an adhesive region extends along at least a portion of a first face of the fastening component. ### Claim 8 A fastener tape assembly comprising: a fastening component defining a folded edge; a bonding component defining a first face for affixment to a diaper or substrate and an oppositely directed second face; an extension component having an edge received within the folded edge of the fastening component and generally disposed between the fastening component and the bonding component; wherein the extension component defines a face directed toward the bonding component and the face includes at least one of (i) a region of patterned adhesive, and (ii) an adhesive-free region. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The fastener tape assembly of claim 8 wherein the folded edge of the fastening component and the edge of the extension component extend beyond an edge of the bonding component. ### Claim 10 (depends on 8) The fastener tape assembly of claim 8 wherein the face of the extension component includes an adhesive-free region. ### Claim 11 (depends on 8) The fastener tape assembly of claim 8 wherein the face of the extension component includes the region of patterned adhesive. ### Claim 12 (depends on 8) The fastener tape assembly of claim 8 wherein the fastener tape assembly is in a roll form. ### Claim 13 An article including a fastener tape assembly, the fastener tape assembly including: a fastening component defining a folded edge; a bonding component defining a first face affixed to the article and an oppositely directed second face; an extension component having an edge received within the folded edge of the fastening component and generally disposed between the fastening component and the bonding component; wherein the folded edge of the fastening component and the edge of the extension component extend beyond an edge of the bonding component. ### Claim 14 (depends on 13) The article of claim 13 wherein the article is a diaper. ### Claim 15 (depends on 14) The article of claim 14 wherein the diaper is a pant diaper. ### Claim 16 An article including a fastener tape assembly, the fastener tape assembly including: a fastening component defining a folded edge; a bonding component defining a first face affixed to the article and an oppositely directed second face; an extension component having an edge received within the folded edge of the fastening component and generally disposed between the fastening component and the bonding component; wherein the extension component defines a face directed toward the bonding component and the face includes at least one of (i) a region of patterned adhesive, and (ii) an adhesive-free region. ### Claim 17 (depends on 16) The article of claim 16 wherein the article is a diaper. ### Claim 18 (depends on 17) The article of claim 17 wherein the diaper is a pant diaper.
