Abstract

a presente invenção se destina a fornecer as vantagens de formação das pregas de perna com o filme impermeável a líquido que permite a redução da quantidade utilizada de tecido não-costurado enquanto suprime a deterioração da textura, dentre outras. o problema mencionado é solucionado pelo fornecimento de pregas de perna (60) que têm: uma camada interior de tecido não-costurado (61) que constitui uma superfície interna da direção da largura; uma camada externa de tecido não-costurado (62) que constitui uma superfície externa da direção da largura; materiais de prega elasticamente extensíveis (63) que são fornecidos ao longo da direção frente-trás entre a camada interior de tecido não-costurado (61) e a camada exterior de tecido não-costurado (62) de, pelo menos, partes de extremidade dianteira em partes intermediárias de direção frente-trás; e um filme impermeável a líquido (64) que é envolto entre a camada interior de tecido não-costurado e a camada exterior de tecido não-costurado (62), estendendo-se desde uma extremidade de base até uma posição mais próxima de um lado de extremidade dianteira do que da extremidade de base, e é configurado de modo que partes das pregas de perna (60) com o filme impermeável a líquido (64) mais próximas do lado de extremidade de base do que as partes de extremidade dianteira constituem partes de tecido não-costurado ausente (65) em que a camada interior de tecido não-costurado (61) não existe e o filme impermeável a líquido (64) fica exposto.
