Description

Disposable absorbent article
Invention field
The present invention relates to disposable clothes article, the example of this kind disposable clothes article comprises the disposable underpants that disposable pants, disposable diaper (comprising diaper and training pants) and menstrual period use.
Background of invention
The disposable medicated clothing that baby and other incontinent persons wear similar diaper absorbs and stores urine and other slop.The fixed absorbent garments in side (as: training pants and diaper) is very general, for storing body excretions and being fit to many build and sizes, these medicated clothings must be fitted with wearer's waist and shank well, can not come off from the wearing position of health, sagging or landing, and can with the bigger wearer's of the bodily form body fit, can not be owing to tension its skin being produced stimulates.
Many pull-on type medicated clothings use traditional elastomeric element at large, and these elastomeric elements are fixed on waist leg opening place with the state of elastic shrinkage.For example, known to " gasbag-type " medicated underpants be exactly to use elastic component to produce contraction in the specific region of product, and all the other materials are tending towards loose sagging.The example of this kind pull-on type medicated clothing is disclosed on 5,171,239 and 1986 years JIUYUE of December in 1992 laid-open U.S. Patents on the 15th laid-open U.S. Patents 4,610,681 on the 9th.Because these medicated clothings adapt to the wearer of different size by the expansion of degree of tightness mouth, so its is fit to waist, the lower limb size of certain limit.But the elastomeric element that can be fit to different size has limited degree of drawing, so this size range also is conditional.In addition, the narrow elastic webbing at waist leg opening place will make adhesive force concentrate on the narrow zone of wearer's body, thereby increase the incidence rate that produces impression on wearer's skin.
Another kind of pull-on type medicated clothing has used waist elastic and sidepiece elastic component, the example of this class medicated clothing is disclosed in laid-open U.S. Patents 4 on July 10 nineteen ninety, 940,464, JIUYUE in 1993 laid-open U.S. Patents 5 on the 21st, 246,433, on open text EP 0 526 868 A1 of laid-open U.S. Patents disclosed european patent application on February 10th, 5,591,155 and 1993 on January 7th, 1997.This class medicated clothing has the sidepiece elastic component and along the waist elastic of the subregion elastic extension of waist opening in its left and right sides.The sidepiece elastic component extends between waist opening and leg opening, and the waist elastic only part of the Attacking Midfielder between the sidepiece elastic component of the left and right sides and low back is extended.Sidepiece elastic component and waist elastic are extended discontinuously.Therefore, medicated clothing is not continuously elongated along waist, and the extensibility that centers on waist opening is restricted.In addition, because the sidepiece elastic component has the single elastomeric material that extends from the waist opening to the leg opening, therefore, between waist opening and leg opening, the sidepiece elastic component only has the extensibility of homogeneous.This make the design good form close-fitting medicated clothing the time do not have a lot of motilities, for example: it be not easy to be designed to along leg opening with different extensibilities is arranged along waist opening.
The example of other the pull-on type medicated clothing with waist elastic and sidepiece elastic component is disclosed in open text EP 0 547 497 A2 of european patent application of the United States Patent (USP) announcement on June 23rd, 5,545,158 and 1993 of announcing on August 13rd, 1996.Be disclosed in United States Patent (USP) 5,545, the medicated clothing in 158 has a pair of elasticity sidepiece and the elastic waist strap that the edge of waist with medicated clothing connects together.The sidepiece of elastic waist strap and elasticity sidepiece are overlapping, and this is the elasticity of not overslaugh elasticity sidepiece basically.But the lap of elasticity sidepiece and elastic waist strap becomes too fat to move and unnecessary, and has limited effective stretching of minimum stretch material.Furtherly, unnecessary tensile force will be attached on the overlay region.In addition, the lap of two elastomeric materials makes that need take bigger power when wearing medicated clothing on one's body the wearer stretches.Be disclosed among the open text 0547497A2 of european patent application medicated clothing be disclosed in United States Patent (USP) 5,454, the medicated clothing on 158 has essentially identical structure, therefore, identical shortcoming is arranged also.The open text 0547497A2 of european patent application also discloses the medicated clothing that all there is a triangular side elastic component a kind of left and right sides.This sidepiece elastic component has reduced the end limit adjacent with waist elastic, but still overlapping with waist elastic.Because the geometry of triangular side elastic component makes the leg opening of medicated clothing and the extensibility of the side between the waist opening significantly reduce, and lowered the easy degree when wearing, strengthened the pressure at side position and reduced the scope of fitting potentially.
Therefore, also there is not a kind of technology to have all advantages of the present invention at present.

According to Fig. 1, Fig. 2 and Fig. 3, diaper 20 has a proparea 26, a back zone 28 and a crotch district 30 between proparea 26 and back zone 28.Diaper 20 also has two centrages, longitudinal centre line 100 and cross central line 110.Said herein " vertically " is meant the straight line in diaper 20 planes, an axle or a direction, it roughly (for example aligns with a vertical plane, almost parallel), when the wearer put on diaper 20, described vertical plane was divided axial wearer's health equally and is left and right two halves." horizontal " and " horizontal side " can exchange herein, refers to the straight line in the diaper plane, an axle or a direction, and it is generally perpendicular to described longitudinal direction (its health with the wearer is divided into the front and back two halves).When wearing, diaper 20 and component materials thereof also have towards wearer's skin towards the health face with towards the relative face of health dorsad of health face.
Fig. 2 is the plane sketch of diaper under its expansion, non-contraction state among Fig. 1.This figure has drawn each different sheets and their relative position." sheet " speech is in order to zone on expression diaper or the moisture-absorbing band or parts (although normally visibly different zone of sheet or parts, sheet may consistent with adjacent sheet in some aspects (function be suitable)) herein.Diaper 20 comprises a crotch district 30 that is made up of a main leaf 2 and pair of leg fin 4; The proparea of forming by 8, waist belt pieces 6 of a central plate (intermediate), auricle 10 and seam sheet 12 26; And the back zone of forming by 9, waist belt pieces 7 of a central plate (intermediate), auricle 11 and seam sheet 13 28.Crotch district 30 is parts on the diaper 20, and zone (other sheet) is just protruding from this part continuously.Although absorbent article core can extend in the intermediate 8 and 9 of diaper usually, absorbent article core normally is placed in the main leaf 2, because Excreta is normally drained at this position.Lower limb fin 4 stretches out along the side 2B of main leaf 2 is substantial transverse, and each lower limb fin 4 has constituted at least a portion of elastic leg members usually.Continuously each horizontal edge 159 of (main leaf 2 and lower limb fin 4) roughly vertically stretches out zone (proparea 26 and back zone 28) usually from crotch district 30.In proparea 26, intermediate 8 (being central plate) vertically stretches out along the horizontal edge 159 in crotch district 30 usually.Intermediate 8 has waist edge 190 and lateral margin 191.Usually each auricle 10 all is that lateral margin 191 along intermediate 8 (being central plate) laterally stretches out, and auricle 10 has waist edge 161 and lateral margin 171.Waist belt piece 6 vertically stretches out along the waist edge 190 of intermediate 8 (being central plate) and the waist edge 161 of auricle 10 usually, and waist belt piece 6 has lateral margin 175.Seam sheet 12 laterally stretches out along the lateral margin 171 of auricle 10 and the lateral margin 175 of waist belt piece 6 usually.In back zone 28, intermediate 9 (being central plate) vertically stretches out along another horizontal edge 159 in crotch district 30 usually, and intermediate 9 has waist edge 192 and lateral margin 193.Usually each auricle 11 all is that lateral margin 193 along intermediate 9 (being central plate) laterally stretches out.Auricle 11 has waist edge 163 and lateral margin 173.Waist belt piece 7 vertically stretches out along the waist edge 192 of intermediate 9 (being central plate) and the waist edge 163 of auricle 11 usually, and waist belt piece 7 has lateral margin 177.Usually each seam sheet 13 all laterally stretches out along the lateral margin 173 of auricle 11 and the lateral margin 177 of waist belt piece 7.Proparea 26 except these sheets, also has waist edge 151, lower limb edge 153 and lateral margin 154.Back zone 28 except these sheets, also has waist edge 155, lower limb edge 156 and lateral margin 157.There is lower limb edge 158 in crotch district 30.
Diaper 20 mainly comprises a main body 41, waist elasticity body material (not showing among Fig. 1,2 and 3), sidepiece elastomeric material (not showing among Fig. 1,2 and 3) and seam 32.Diaper 20 can also have tear-open end tongue 31, and the elastic leg cuff 52 of its position barrier cuff 54 with seam 32 with in containing is relevant.It is extensible that the sidepiece elastomeric material makes at least a portion of auricle 10 and 11, constitutes extensile ear 46 and 48 thus.It is extensile that waist elasticity body material makes at least a portion of waist belt piece 6 and 7, constitutes successive extensile waist belt piece 57 and 59 thus.Sidepiece elastomeric material and waist elasticity body material are separate parts and independent the layout, thus diaper 20 vertically on the phase non-overlapping copies.This makes waist and sidepiece elastomeric material that independently effect can be arranged more, thereby makes and can adjust at aspects such as size ductility, pressure. Extensile ear 46 and 48 and continuous extensible belt 57 and 59 at least can cross directional stretch.Seam 32 will link together at seam sheet on the proparea 26 12 and seam sheet 13 on back zone 28, so auricle 10 just is associated in auricle 11, thereby form a waist opening 36 and two leg openings 34.In the structure that auricle 10 and auricle 11 connect together, continuous extensile waist belt piece 57 and 59 has constituted a continuous extensible waist spare 60 around waist opening 36.In addition, a continuous zone 38 extends in proparea 26 and back zone 28.
According to Fig. 3 and Fig. 4, main body 41 comprise an absorbent article core 25 and with some synusia of the cooperative arrangement of absorbent article core 25, such as top flat 24 and the egative film 22 that links to each other with top flat 24.Absorbent article core 25 is placed between top flat 24 and the egative film 22.Main body 41 can also comprise other one or more layers that is provided with absorbent article core 25.Top flat 24 has body-facing surface, and in use, it presses close to wearer's health.Egative film 22 has outward surface, and it is away from wearer's health.Egative film 22 preferably includes block film 68 and one deck nonwoven outer covering piece 23 compositions in one deck.Because main body 41 is divided into proparea 26, back zone 28 and crotch district 30, main body 41 also has foregoing corresponding zone and sheet (for the sake of simplicity, these zones and sheet among the figure have adopted the relevant range label identical with sheet in the diaper with Fig. 2).
The length and width size of the interior block film 68 of top flat 24 and egative film 22 is usually greater than the corresponding size of absorbent article core 25.Top flat 24 and interior block film 68 extend beyond the lateral margin and the ora terminalis of absorbent article core 25 and constitute the periphery of main body 41.Top flat 24 is longitudinal extension between the waist edge 151 and 155 of diaper 20.Top flat 24 has waist end 24A and sidepiece 24B, and the waist end 24A of top flat 24 (being end extension 24A) extends into the waist belt piece 6 of diaper 20 and a part of 7.Interior block film 68 has waist end 68A and sidepiece 68B.Interior block film 68 is vertically slightly short, laterally slightly wide than top flat 24 than top flat 24.Therefore the transverse width of interior block film 68 is inconsistent, has constituted first one 94 at least a portion in crotch district 30 and at least a portion of proparea 26 and back zone 28 second one 96.The transverse width of interior block film 68 reduces gradually towards waist end 68A, and therefore, second one 96 transverse width is less than first one 94 transverse width.Interior block film 68 does not preferably extend into auricle 10 and 11, with effective cross directional stretch length that increases auricle 10 and 11 and the loft that reduces auricle 10 and 11.Equally, interior block film 68 does not extend into waist belt piece 6 and 7 yet, to reduce the loft of waist belt piece 6 and 7.In addition because interior block film 68 does not extend into auricle 10 and 11 and waist belt piece 6 and 7, therefore in block film 68 can not hinder those regional breathability.Although top flat 24, interior block film 68 and absorbent article core 25 can get up with many known structural groupings, but the example of agent structure is found in the United States Patent (USP) 3 that is entitled as " the contractile sidepiece of disposable diaper " of authorizing Kenneth B.Buell on January 14th, 1975 usually, 860,003 and 1992 on JIUYUE was authorized the United States Patent (USP) 5 of people's such as KennethB.Buell exercise question for " absorbent device of the power elastic waist feature of the resilience flexure hinge that band sets in advance " in 29,151,092.
Nonwoven outer covering piece 23 preferably almost covers the Zone Full of diaper 20 outermost portions.Nonwoven outer covering piece 23 can have identical shape with diaper 20 usually.Nonwoven outer covering piece 23 has waist end 23A and sidepiece 23B.Nonwoven outer covering piece 23 also has side extension 23C, has side extension 23D in back zone 28 in proparea 26.The waist end 23A of nonwoven outer covering piece 23 (being end extension 23A) extends into waist belt piece 6 and 7.Side extension 23C and 23D extend into auricle 10 and 11.Perhaps, the shape of the nonwoven outer covering piece 23 of egative film 22 usually can be identical with interior block film 68, the zone of block film 68 in nonwoven outer covering piece 23 only covers like this.Again or, nonwoven outer covering piece 23 can be cancelled, and interior block film 68 can have with the roughly the same shape of diaper 20 and extend into auricle 10 and 11 and waist belt piece 6 and 7.

In preferred embodiment shown in Figure 8, elastomer scrim 124 has many thread first strands 125 and many thread second strands 127.First strand 125 and second strand 127 are sentenced a predetermined angle [alpha] at node 130 and are intersected mutually, form the netted hatch frame with a plurality of holes 132.Each hole 132 is by having at least two first adjacent strands and two second adjacent strands to constitute, so hole 132 is rectangular shape haply.Hole 132 also may be other form, constitutes such as parallelogram, square or arc section.Preferably, first strand 125 and second strand 127 are straight basically, and are parallel to each other basically.First strand 125 and second strand 127 are preferably 90 ° in the angle [alpha] that node 130 intersects.First strand 125 preferably is connected at node 130 places with second strand 127 or is bonding.A kind of preferred elastomer scrim 124 is that Conwed Plastics Company makes, code name is XO 2514, this material is gone up at structure direction B (i.e. first strand 125) and is 12 bursts of elastic strands of per inch, goes up at structure direction D (i.e. second strand 127) to be 7 bursts of elastic strands of per inch.
In another preferred embodiment shown in Figure 11, elastomeric material 124 can be to comprise porous, expansible, the 3 d elastic body net sheet 172 of macroscopic view.This net sheet 172 have a successive first surface 174 and one and first surface away from discontinuous second surface 174.Elastomer net sheet 172 preferably includes the form film that has the two layers of polymers layer at least, and wherein one deck is an elastomer layer 178 at least, and the one deck at least in other layers is the less epidermal area of elasticity 182.Elastomer net sheet 172 has many first holes 184 on its first surface 174.These first holes are to be limited out by the contiguous network of interconnected parts 186 on the plane of first surface 174.Each interconnected parts 186 is to go up spill along the cross section on its length direction.Interconnected parts 186 stop having constituted second hole 188 with the second surface at the net sheet each other substantially simultaneously.The particulars of relevant this structure and manufacture method thereof is disclosed on the U.S. Patent application of submitting on March 14th, 1,997 08/816,106.A kind of preferred porous elastomers material 124 is made by Tredegar Film Products, and code name is X-25007.First hole 184 can have Any shape.Preferably, first hole 184 has with a major axis and the shape perpendicular to the minor axis of major axis, and such as ellipse, and this major axis is orthogonal to the stress of the introducing distortion that applies usually.
In the embodiment shown in fig. 8, sidepiece elastic component 70 comprises first and second layer of cover material 122,126, and sidepiece elastomeric material 124 is arranged between first and second layer of cover material 122,126.First layer of cover material 122 has an inner surface 142 and an outer surface 144.The inner surface 142 of first layer of cover material 122 is towards sidepiece elastomeric material 124.Second layer of cover material 126 also has an inner surface 146 and an outer surface 148.The inner surface 146 of second layer of cover material 126 also is the surface towards sidepiece elastomeric material 124.Sidepiece elastomeric material 124 also has two plane surfaces, i.e. first surface 150 and second surface 152.In these two surfaces 150,152 each all is the plane that is arranged essentially parallel to first and second layer of cover material 122,126.First surface 150 is those plane surfaces of the most close first layer of cover material, 122 inner surfacies 142 of sidepiece elastomeric material 124; Second surface 152 is those plane surfaces of inner surface 146 of the most close second layer of cover material 126 of sidepiece elastomeric material 124.
Because sidepiece elastic component 70 all will stand mechanical stretching before use with in using, so first and second layer of cover material 122,126 elongations when preferably having higher relatively fracture, even more preferably tractile or tensile, plasticity (but not necessarily must be resilient) that can draw more preferably, do not have over-drastic tear or break, preferably without any tearing or breaking.Also have, first and second layer of cover material 122,126 are preferably submissive, soft and wearer's skin do not stimulated, and the same feel of clothes and comfort are arranged.Can make first and second layer of cover material 122,126 suitable material has various, such as the weaving of plastic sheeting, apertured plastic films, natural fiber (as the wood fiber and cotton fiber) or synthetic fibers (as polyolefin, polyamide, polyester, polyethylene or polypropylene fibre) or the complex of nonwoven web sheet or natural and/or synthetic fibers, or the weaving of coating or nonwoven webs.
Preferably, first layer of cover material 122 and second layer of cover material 126 are essentially identical non-woven materials.A kind of preferred non-woven material of demonstration is that Fiber Web Company makes, and code name is DAPP-S tex, quantitatively at 18~35g/m 2Between the scope.Non-woven material can be through strengthen or without strengthening.The non-woven material of preferred layer of cover material as the elastomer scrim is through reinforcement, and this material quantitatively is 18~35g/m before reinforcement 2, after the reinforcement quantitatively is 40~70g/m 2Here said " quantitatively " is the weight of every square metre of plane net sheet material.Can use high strain non-woven material in addition.Can be alternative be that first and second layer of cover material 122,126 need not to be identical material, as long as the performance requirement of expection, satisfy to get final product such as elastic performance, flexibility, compliance, breathability and endurance quality.Here said " reinforcement non-woven material " is meant such non-woven material, wrinkling or contraction under the effect of its mechanical tension in structure direction D, thereby this material can extend under less pulling force on the structure direction D.
Fig. 9 is lamination 120 (being sidepiece elastic component 70) observable partial enlarged view in structure direction B.Have been found that after lamination 120 is fixed with bonding or alternate manner, just produced sidepiece fixed area A.A lamination 120 existing higher elasticity so again can leafing or creep, neither sacrifices the performance of any needs simultaneously and good Performance Characteristics is provided in the over-all properties category simultaneously.As the part of stacked manufacture process, sidepiece is fixing preferably by drip the bonding method of sidepiece to finish with glue, so that sidepiece elastomeric material 124 is fixed between layer of cover material 122 and 124.Can be alternative be, sidepiece fixing also can by make, heat sealing, ultrasonic bonding, acupuncture, alternative technique for sticking or other any method well known in the art finish.What another was alternative is to fix at elastomeric material and the stacked intact sidepiece that carries out later stepped construction of cladding material.
Lamination 120 preferably can provide very sensation of softness especially for wearer and consumer, and this point is extremely important, because consumer payes attention to flexibility.In traditional lamination, in order to attempt eliminating creep, regular meeting makes its flexibility produce unsafty reduction as a result, also is being attended by unsafty reduction aspect its activation capacity simultaneously.This is because the trial of this respect that forefathers did is (verified; these attempt all being not enough to eliminate creep) all concentrate on and use the extra bonding agent (often being to take whole coating methods) that melts and sprays; bonding to attempt to strengthen; this can cause lamination hardening entirely usually, and this exactly do not wish to take place.And the lamination of the preferred embodiment of the present invention, at the situation diabetes due to kidney-deficiency that does not only lose the desired soft feeling of consumer but also do not sacrifice its activation capacity except creep.
According to Fig. 9, first bonding agent 170 is coated on the inner surface 146 with exterior portion 180 corresponding second layer of cover material 126 of stepped construction 120.First bonding agent 170 also can be alternatively or is coated in the inner surface 142 of first layer of cover material 122 extraly.For convenience of description, text description and diagram are only at the glue of using on second layer of cover material 126.
Produced sidepiece fixed area A by this way, the leafing and the creep of its known lamination generation before having eliminated substantially and having followed make lamination 120 not have to realize high strain under leafing and the creep situation.Have been found that restriction first bonding agent 170 uses at stepped construction 120 marginal areas, can avoid impairment, also can avoid tearing of layer of cover material 122,126 extensibility of lamination 120.A series of glue that first bonding agent 170 is preferably painted as shown in Figure 9 drip 168, and preferably a kind of flexible adhesives that contain amorphous state and crystalline state composition of first bonding agent 170.A kind of preferred bonding agent is like this made by Findley Adhesive company, and code name is H 9224.
More preferably, lamination 120 contains second bonding agent 164.Second bonding agent 164 preferably is coated in the second surface 152 of sidepiece elastomeric material 124, but alternatively also can be coated in the first surface 150 of elastomeric material 124.Second bonding agent 164 is preferably painted spiral spray pattern 166, forms thus with the straight line sprinkling and compares more dispersive adhesive spots 167b.Needn't theoretical prove, it is believed that second bonding agent of the overwhelming majority of sprinkling aligns with structure direction D, have been found that therefore the helical form sprinkling has produced good activation characteristic.Here said " activation " is meant tensile ability.
Have been found that the second surface 152 that second bond layer 164 directly is sprayed onto sidepiece elastomeric material 124, better than second bond layer 164 is coated on the layer of cover material relative with it 126.This is because second bonding agent 164 will penetrate residual any inorganic agent or the oil of possibility on sidepiece elastomeric material 124 surfaces.If such retained material is retained on the sidepiece elastomeric material 124, through weakening the bonding of bonding agent after a while, the breakable layer stack structure 120 thus.For example, if these retained materials have intactly stayed, then before consumer buys this product during this period of time in, be used for the bonding just weakened of lamination 120.
When spiral bonding agent 166 directly is coated on the sidepiece elastomeric material 124, lamination 120 the peel value in spiral bonding agent district usually than the layer of cover material 126 that glue is coated onto its opposite on the time the peel value height.Here said " peel value " is meant layer of cover material 122,126 is separated from each other required power value.High peel value just is equivalent to the probability that lower leafing is in use arranged usually.
The 3rd bonding agent 160 preferably also is coated on the inner surface 142 of first layer of cover material 122.Preferably, the 3rd bonding agent 160 is a kind of elastomeric adhesives.The 3rd bonding agent 160 preferably also uses the method coating similar with the method for the aforementioned second spiral bonding agent 166, promptly paints spiral spray pattern 162, forms thus than linearity and applies more dispersive adhesive spots 167a.Need not theoretical demonstration, believe that the overwhelming majority the 3rd bonding agent 160 applies along structure direction D.
Best, the second and the 3rd bonding agent 164,160th, identical elastomeric adhesives.A kind of preferred bonding agent that can be used as the second and the 3rd bonding agent spiral spray district 162,166 is made by Findley AdhesiveCompany, and code name is H 2120.Second and triple helical spray in the district 162 and 166, coated weight separately is preferably in about 0.062~0.186g/m 2, more preferably be about 0.124g/m 2

It (is that they are not the independent operational units that is fixed on the diaper that continuous extensible belt 57 and 59 also can be formed by the global facility of diaper 20, but form, or be exactly extension itself) by one or more layers the extension in each layer of diaper 20.In a preferred embodiment, continuous extensible belt 57 and 59 each all comprised an extended part of main body 41.Preferably, continuous extensible belt 57 and 59 comprises that at least a portion that constitutes main body 41 also extends into a body component or the continuous lamella in continuous extensible belt 57 and 59 continuously.Can be alternative be, continuous extensible belt 57 and 59 can be a separate member, these separate member can not comprise the integral member of any formation main body 41 parts.Can constitute continuous extensible belt 57 and 59 by the waist that separate member is connected to main body 41.
Continuous extensible belt 57 and 59 comprises the extension of waist elastic 80 and the one deck at least in a plurality of layers (such as top flat 24 and egative film 22) that absorbent article core 25 is provided with.If in the middle of the layer of absorbent article core 25, additional have such as extra plays such as interior barrier cuff 54 or additional Liquid Absorption tissue layers, then this extra play also can constitute the part of continuous extensible belt 57 and 59.In preferred embodiment shown in Figure 7, the sidepiece 57B of continuous extensible belt 57 has comprised the cascade net sheet that the sidepiece by the end extension 23A of the extension 72 of interior barrier cuff 54, nonwoven outer covering piece 23 and waist elastic 80 constitutes.The central sections 57A of extensible belt 57 has comprised the cascade net sheet that the middle body by the end extension 23A of the end extension 24A of top flat 24, nonwoven outer covering piece 23 and waist elastic 80 constitutes (structure in the proparea 26 places though only drawn among Fig. 7, the structure at 28 places, back zone is preferably same or similar with it).Yet in an embodiment, interior block film 68 does not extend into continuous extensible waist spare 57.Can be alternative be that interior barrier cuff 54, top flat 24 and/or nonwoven outer covering piece 23 can not extend into continuous extensible belt 57.If top flat 24 and nonwoven outer covering piece 23 do not extend into continuous extensible belt 57, the extension and the waist elastic 80 of block film 68 in then continuous extensible belt 57 can comprise.
Waist elastic 80 is placed on the inboard of the inner surface (body-facing surface) of diaper 20.Waist elastic 80 can couple together with the extension 72 of interior barrier cuff 54, the end extension 23A of nonwoven outer covering piece 23 and the end extension 24A of top flat 24 effectively.Waist elastic 80 both can adopt bonding way at interval, also can adopt successive basically bonding form to be connected with the effective of them.In a concrete preferred embodiment, selected glue has been painted a helix shape, and (such as United States Patent (USP) 3,911,173 (Sprague is Jr.) with middle show such of United States Patent (USP) 4,842,666 (Werenicz)) quantitatively are about 0.116g/m 2, the about 1.9cm of spiral live width (0.75inch), and can be close to each other or slightly overlapping (less than 2mm).Preferred bonding agent be such as can be from Findley AdhesiveCompany acquisition, and code name is the product of H 2120.Can be alternative be, between waist elastic and extensible other stacked any parts, can adopt heat bonding, pressure bonding, ultrasonic bonding, dynamic mechanically is bonding or other method well known in the art realizes mutual interruption or bonding continuously.
Waist elastic 80 effectively is connected to left and right in before the end extension 23A of the end extension 24A of extension 72, top flat 24 of barrier cuff 54 and nonwoven outer covering piece 23, preferably with its integral body not deformation length carry out pre-tension deformation (prestrain) in the horizontal.Can with the integral body of waist elastic not its transverse pre-tension of deformation length be deformed to the waist belt piece 6 of main body 41 and 7 initial length.Also can with the integral body of waist elastic 80 not deformation length carry out further pre-tension deformation, in a part that extends into seam sheet 12 and 13.In an embodiment, the waist belt piece 6 and 7 of main body 41 has comprised extension, the end extension 24A of top flat 24 and the end extension 23A of nonwoven outer covering piece 23 of left and right interior barrier cuff 54.Here said " initial length " is meant, a kind of single or composite length before applying elastic stretching and before applying permanent mechanical stretching.Here said " pre-tension deformation entire length " is meant an a kind of part of elastomeric material or whole length carried out total length after the transverse pre-tension distortion.In an embodiment, waist belt piece 6 and 7 initial length usually with identical with total length under the assembling form of end extension 24A of the extension 72 of barrier cuff 54 and top flat 24 in left and right before waist elastic 80 is connected.Also be connected length before with waist elastic 80 identical with the end extension 23A of nonwoven outer covering piece 23 usually for waist belt piece 6 and 7 initial length.The scope of the preferred pre-tension deformation of waist elastic 80 is its 20%~100% of (being relaxed state) length that do not stretch, and more preferably the pre-tension deformation scope of waist elastic 80 is 40%~80%.After the waist elastic 80 with pre-tension deformation connects, waist elastic 80 is just with other coupled parts, such as the extension 72 of interior barrier cuff 54, the end extension 24A of top flat 24 and the end extension 23A of nonwoven outer covering piece 23, be returned to its tension not substantially.Thus, continuous extensible belt 57 and 59 have just been formed.This extensible belt 57 and 59 can be stretched to the waist belt piece 6 of main body 41 and 7 initial length at least from the relaxed length of waist elastic.
Can be alternative be, be connected in waist elastic 80 before the extension of said a plurality of layers one deck at least, in this member only some by pre-tension deformation, therefore, a part that is in waist elastic 80 is reached roughly and the waist belt piece 6 of main body 41 and 7 the identical length of initial length by the pre-tension deformation total length of the waist elastic under the condition of pre-tension deformation 80.Preferably, on waist elastic 80, only so a part of material has been carried out pre-tension deformation, this part material is that the transverse width X (as shown in Figure 3) along the absorbent article core 25 adjacent with waist elastic 80 stretches.
The example of extensible elastomeric material is disclosed in the United States Patent (USP) 2,075,189 of authorizing Galligan March 30 nineteen thirty-seven; Authorized the United States Patent (USP) 3,025,199 of Harwood on March 13rd, 1962; Respectively on August 15th, 1978 with authorized the United States Patent (USP) 4,107,364 and 4,209,563 of sisson on June 24th, 1980; Authorized United States Patent (USP) in JIUYUE, 4,834,741 and 1992 of Sabee on May 30th, 1989 authorized on people's such as Buell the United States Patent (USP) 5,151,092 on the 29th.
Continuous extensible belt 57 and 59 is configured to extensile, can be stretched over the waist belt piece 6 of main body 41 and 7 initial length from the relaxed length of waist elastic 80 at least.Yet, waist elastic 80 combine be provided with a plurality of layers usually with absorbent article core 25 (such as top flat 24 and egative film 22, they do not have elasticity basically) in the extension of one deck at least be connected, therefore waist elastic 80 can only stretch between the initial length of the relaxed length of waist elastic 80 and waist belt piece 6 and 7, can not exceed the waist belt piece 6 of main body 41 and 7 initial length.This limit decision the upper limit of extensible scope of continuous extensible belt 57 and 59 (being continuous extensible waist spare 60), even if waist elastic 80 can be stretched over above the initial length of the waist belt piece 6 of main body 41 and 7 or the pre-tension deformation total length of waist elastic 80.Total length.This restriction to extensible range limit makes continuous extensible belt 57 and 59 that enough ductilities can not be arranged.Therefore, when in advance diaper 20 being through the wearer on one's body the time, diaper 20 might can't provide enough waist opening sizes, perhaps user must apply sufficiently high power to diaper 20, obtains enough waist opening sizes so that find out extensible degree from other extensible materials of diaper 20.When wearing diaper on one's body the wearer, may cause difficulty.
Therefore, give the elasticity extensibility, to obtain the wider extensible degree (getting final product extending range) of total length than the waist elastic 80 of the initial length of the waist belt piece 6 of main body 41 and 7 or pre-tension deformation to continuous extensible belt 57 and 59.That is, with waist elastic 80 under pre-tension deformation (tension) state effectively with interior barrier cuff 54, top flat 24 is connected with nonwoven outer covering piece 23, and before they are returned to complete relaxed state, to consequent, compound extensible lamination integral body (being continuous extensible belt 57 and 59) applies enough mechanical stretchings, making does not have elastic those parts, comprises a left side, the extension 72 of barrier cuff 54 in right, the end extension 24A of top flat 24, the layer of cover material (if present) of the part of the end extension 23A of nonwoven outer covering piece 23 and formation waist elastic 80 produces permanent elongation.Then, allow this compound extensible lamination be returned to its basic relaxed state again.Waist elastic 80 after this handles can be stretched to the waist belt piece 6 that exceeds main body 41 and 7 initial length from its relaxed length, can reach the length after the permanent elongation of non-resilient parts at least.This gives continuous extensible belt 57 and 59 wideer extensible scopes, therefore also more is of value to easily wearing.Can be alternative be, waist elastic 80 can lax substantially (zero strain) state down and interior barrier cuff 54, top flat 24 and nonwoven outer covering piece 23 link together, constitute " zero strain " extensible lamination thus.Preferred apparatus and method are disclosed in the United States Patent (USP) 5,167,897 that December in 1992 was authorized people such as Weber on the 1st; Authorize people's such as Buell United States Patent (USP) 5,156,793 October 20 nineteen ninety; JIUYUE in 1992 was authorized people's such as Weber United States Patent (USP) 5,143,679 and open No.0 955 027 A1 of the European patent that is entitled as " method and apparatus that is used to activate motion net sheet " that proposed by people such as Christoph J.Schmitz on May 7th, 1998 on the 1st.
Waist elastic 80 included waist elasticity body materials 200 can adopt and sidepiece elastomeric material 124 identical materials/structure.Can be alternative be that waist elasticity body material 200 also can adopt the material different with sidepiece elastomeric material 124.Waist elastic 80 can further comprise the one deck in first layer of cover material 202 and second layer of cover material 204, or two-layerly all comprises.The structure of waist elastic 80 can be same or similar with sidepiece elastic component 70.Layer of cover material 202 and 204 structure, material and/or feature can be same or similar with layer of cover material 122,126, perhaps also can be different with it.Also have, can be same or similar with the method that waist elasticity body material 200 is connected on layer of cover material 202 and 204 with the method for employing in the previously described auricle member 70, perhaps also can be different with it.In a particularly preferred embodiment, waist elastic 80 comprises the one deck in waist elasticity body material 200 and layer of cover material 202 or 204.Under these circumstances, waist elasticity body material 200 is arranged to towards interior barrier cuff 54 and top flat 24, and layer of cover material 202 or 204 be arranged to towards and contact wearer's body, therefore, waist elasticity body material 200 is not directly being pressed wearer's skin, thereby has reduced the incidence rate of skin red seal.
Figure 12 has showed another preferred embodiment of continuous extensible belt 57 and 59.In this embodiment, waist elastic 80 is placed on the inboard of nonwoven outer covering piece 23.Preferably, at the sidepiece 57B of continuous extensible belt 57, waist elastic 80 be the extension 72 of barrier cuff 54 and nonwoven outer covering piece 23 in being placed on end extension 23A between.At central sections 57A, waist elastic 80 be placed on the end extension 24A of top flat 24 and nonwoven outer covering piece 23 end extension 23A between.In waist elastic 80 can be connected to effectively on the end extension 24A of the end extension 23A of extension 72, the nonwoven outer covering piece 23 of barrier cuff 54 and top flat 24.In one embodiment, waist elastic 80 can comprise the one deck in waist elasticity body material 200 and layer of cover material 202 or 204.In an example, waist elasticity body material 200 is arranged to towards interior barrier cuff 54 and top flat 24, and layer of cover material 202 or 204 is arranged to towards nonwoven outer covering piece 23.This layout of cladding material owing to added one deck (layer of cover material) between waist elasticity body material 200 and nonwoven outer covering piece 23, makes and can't see waist elasticity body material 200 from the outside.In another example, waist elasticity body material 200 is arranged to covering 23 outward, and layer of cover material 202 or 204 is arranged to towards interior barrier cuff 54 and top flat 24.This layout of cladding material, owing between waist elasticity body material 200 and wearer's skin, added one deck (layer of cover material), thereby can reduce the incidence rate of red seal on the skin.In two examples, owing to reduced one deck layer of cover material (comparing) with two-layer layer of cover material, so the loft of continuous extensible belt 57 has reduced.In addition, because material there has reduced, so the breathability of continuous extensible belt 57 has increased, and the extensible degree of continuous extensible belt 57 is also bigger.In a preferred embodiment, constituted continuous extensible belt 57 by the waist elastic 80 that comprises waist elasticity body material 200, described waist elasticity body material 200 is returned to initial relaxed state again then by pre-tension deformation.When waist elasticity body material 200 returns to its initial relaxed state, other parts that link together with waist elasticity body material 200 can suppress waist elasticity body material 200 and get back to its initial relaxed length, thereby the whole degree of drawing of waist elasticity body material 200 can not be utilized fully.But in front among the embodiment of Miao Shuing, because the loft of continuous extensible belt 57 has reduced, so waist elasticity body material 200 can as far as possible closely return to its initial relaxed length, so waist elasticity body material 200 also just has bigger effective extensible degree.
Can be alternative be that waist elastic 80 can only comprise one deck waist elasticity body material and without any layer of cover material.At the sidepiece 57B of extensible belt 57, in waist elasticity body material 200 is placed between the end extension 23A of the extension 72 of barrier cuff 54 and nonwoven outer covering piece 23, and directly be connected with them.At central sections 57A, waist elasticity body material 200 is placed between the end extension 24A and nonwoven outer covering piece 23 of top flat 24, and directly is connected with them.Such structure for the loft that reduces extensible belt 57, to increase its breathability and have more effective extensible degree also be useful.
Sidepiece elastic component 70 and waist elastic 80 are made up of parts independently, and preferably, member 70 and 80 the two layout non-overlappings in the vertical.Yet member 70 and 80 preferably is arranged to not have basically each other hole, and thus, member 70 and 80 has formed a composite elastic volume grid on extensible ear 46 and 48.Here said " composite elastic volume grid " is meant a such zone, two or more independently elastomeric materials wherein are continuous basically, very close to each other or have only a predetermined gap between these elastomeric materials, the extensible effect that embodies thus is as a single elastomeric material.Preferably, member 70 and 80 is arranged to very close to each other, therefore is appreciated that under the assembling form of diaper 20, extensible ear 46 and 48 and the sidepiece 57B and the 59B of continuous extensible belt 57 and 59 has formed a unitary elasticity material between waist opening 36 and leg opening.Sidepiece elastic component 70 and waist elastic 80 are to be made of discrete parts, so sidepiece elastomeric material 124 and waist elasticity body material 200 also are to be made of discrete parts.This separate structure allows to adopt different materials separately in the design of sidepiece elastomeric material 124 and waist elasticity body material 200, this just makes the different parts of diaper 20 can have different separately extensible characteristics, such as power-percentage of elongation curve etc.This structure also allows to use side characteristic material 124 and the waist characteristic material 200 that is in different conditions (for example being under pre-tension deformation (tensioning) state or the relaxed state).So just allow to use different power that the different parts of diaper 20 are stretched to equal length, or use identical power that different parts are stretched to different length, adjust the pressure that is applied on wearer's skin whereby.For example, the waist elasticity body material 200 that diaper 20 contains can have high percentage of elongation under low-tension, and then user just can elongate continuous extensible waist spare 60 with less power, and this dispensing for diaper provides convenience; Simultaneously, the sidepiece elastomeric material 124 of diaper is used for being created in and continues the needed power of fitting on extensible ear 46 and 48, but this power can not produce red seal on skin.In one embodiment, the extensible ear 46 and 48 of the sidepiece elastomeric material 124 that comprises be designed to when the power of extensible ear 46 and 48 when being stretched to 50% (more specifically saying, is at SCRF50%) be 40grams/inch~130grams/inch; Meanwhile, the continuous extensible waist spare 60 that comprises waist elasticity body material 200 is designed to: extensible waist spare 60 has 100% percentage of elongation at least.
Sidepiece elastic component 70 and waist elastic 80 the two be arranged to not overlapping in the vertical, so sidepiece elastomeric material 124 and waist elasticity body material 200 are not overlapping yet.Since not overlapping on sidepiece elastic component 70 and waist elastic 80 structures, and member 70 and 80 comprises the material of single percentage of elongation separately, so it has the roughly extensibility of homogeneous.This make user when stretching diaper 20 firmly evenly, in the drawing process of dispensing diaper, do not feel the variation of power.
Each seam couples together seam sheet 12 and 13, also just the appropriate section of extensible ear 46 and 48 is linked together thus, and has constituted two leg openings 34 and a waist opening 36 therefrom.Preferably, forward and backward extensible ear 46 and 48 overlaps with overlap mode along lateral border 46D and 48D, forms an overlapping seam construction.Can be alternative be that forward and backward extensible ear 46 and 48 can carry out the seam (not shown) with docking mode.Seam 32 bonding can adopt any method that is suitable for the concrete material that adopts on forward and backward extensible ear 46 and 48 as known in the art to implement.Therefore, ultrasonic seal, heat sealing, pressure is bonding, gluing or altogether sticking, stitching, spontaneous bonding and other similar method all may be the technology that is fit to.Preferably, adopt a kind of heat/pressure of predetermined pattern or ultrasonic welding mode that seam sheet 12 is linked to each other with 13, this mode can sustain power and the stress that produces on diaper 20 in the process of wearing.Seam 32 also is connected continuous extensible belt 57 with 59, constitute the continuous extensible waist spare 60 around waist opening 36.When sidepiece elastic component 70 and waist elastic 80 extend into seam sheet 12 and 13, seam 32 just will be positioned at sidepiece elastic component 70 fix in position in proparea 26 on the sidepiece elastic component 70 of back zone 28; And waist elastic 80 fix in position that will be positioned at proparea 26 are on the waist elastic 80 of back zone 28.The example of seam is disclosed in the United States Patent (USP) 5,569,234 of authorizing people such as Buell on October 29th, 1996; Authorized people's such as Johnson United States Patent (USP) 5,607,537 on March 4th, 1997; JIUYUE in 1997 was authorized people's such as Johnson United States Patent (USP) 5,662,638 on the 2nd and was authorized on November 11st, 1997 on people's such as Buell the United States Patent (USP) 5,685,874.Preferred seam is disclosed in Chriseoph J.Schmiez on open No.0 844 062 A1 of the European patent that is entitled as " thermally coupled of net sheet " that submitted on November 21st, 1996.
In a preferred embodiment, lateral border 46D and 48D are not parallel to medial border 46C and 48C, nor are parallel to longitudinal centre line 100.Lateral border 46D and 48D are laterally protruding when close ora terminalis 46B down and 48B.Between the medial border 46C and 48C and lateral border 46D and 48D of extensible ear 46 and 48, there is a transverse width L1 at close ora terminalis 46B down and 48B place, a transverse width L2 are arranged, the big sub-transverse width L2 of transverse width L1 near last ora terminalis 46A and 48A place.So extensible ear 46 and 48 in a lateral direction, and the available elastomeric material quantity at close ora terminalis 46B down and 48B place is more than close last ora terminalis 46A and 48A place.The extensibility at therefore close ora terminalis 46B down and 48B place has increased.In addition, because the two all is to have bigger transverse width (being that available elastomeric material is more) near ora terminalis 46B and 48B place down for extensible ear 46 and extensible ear 48, thus extensible ear 46 and extensible ear 48 combine the back near under ora terminalis 46B and the total transverse width in 48B place further strengthen (being that available elastomeric material quantity further increases).Because the transverse width at this close ora terminalis 46B down and 48B place is wanted the structure of some greatly, diaper is when keeping centering on the elastomeric material quantity of waist opening, around leg opening more elastomeric material amount has just been arranged, therefore diaper can not have too high pressure to the skin along leg opening and cause that skin is had harmful effect, but and the while can keep the lasting applying along waist opening.As shown in figure 13, under the form that extensible ear 46 and extensible ear 48 link together, seam 32 is not parallel to longitudinal centre line 100, and promptly seam is protruding the closer to its hypomere 32A.In addition, as described above, when sidepiece elastic component 70 was connected on extensible ear 46 and 48 under relaxed state, waist elastic 80 was connected on the waist belt piece 6 and 7 of main body 41 under tensioning (pre-tension deformation) state, is returned to basic relaxed state then again.Therefore, under relaxed state, littler than the girth by an extensible ear 46 and 48 parts on the diaper 20 along the girth of the diaper 20 of continuous extensible waist spare 60.This form has further strengthened the lasting coating performance along the waist opening place, has reduced simultaneously along the harmful effect to skin of the material at leg opening place.Here said " circumferencial direction " is meant the direction of the form lower edge waist opening of finishing in the diaper assembling.Here said " girth " is meant diaper length along the circumferential direction.
As shown in Figure 1, continuously zone 38 is that a part and continuous extensible waist spare 60 by forward and backward extensible ear 46 and 48, main body 41 constitutes.Zone is an extensile that part of or annular section on the diaper continuously, makes that the girth of continuous zone is tensile, to make things convenient for using of diaper 20.When diaper 20 through wearer's body on the time, diaper 20 must be stretched, forming enough wide waist opening and leg opening, so that the using of diaper.Zone 38 promptly is that part that stretch capability is arranged in the diaper 20 continuously.In the intact form of assembling shown in Figure 1, zone 38 is around forming by the waist edge 151 and 155 of diaper 20, the horizontal edge 159 in lower limb edge 153 and 156, crotch district 30 in proparea 26 and back zone 28 continuously.The minimum constructive height of zone is usually at the auricle place continuously.In the embodiment shown in fig. 1, the minimum constructive height of zone is measured along seam 32 continuously.Continuous zone 38 also has one not to be interrupted by leg opening 34, but the continuous minimum rate of accumulation 35 of the most close leg opening 34.Zone 38 comprises two parts continuously: one is continuous waist zone 37, and continuous extensible waist spare 60 is wherein arranged; Another is the continuous zone 39 than the bottom, wherein have extensible ear 46 and 48 and the part of main body 41 extend into wherein.In a preferred embodiment, continuously the waist zone is consistent with continuous extensible waist spare 60.
In a preferred embodiment, diaper shown in Figure 3 becomes the form of finishing of assembling shown in Figure 1.Under relaxed state, zone 38 can be 200mm~500mm, preferably 250mm~400mm along the original perimeter of waist edge 151 and 155 continuously.Continuously zone 38 is extensible to along the girth (stretching girth) of waist edge 151 and 155 and is at least 650mm, preferably is at least 700mm, more preferably is at least 750mm.The girth of zone 38 along the line 35 can be 300mm~550mm, preferably 350mm~500mm continuously.Zone 38 can be 50mm~150mm, preferably 80mm~120mm along the minimum constructive height of seam 32 measurements continuously.The height of the continuous zone 37 of waist (being continuous extensible waist spare 60) can be 5mm~40mm, preferably 15mm~30mm.In a side of diaper 20, extensible ear 46 and 48 along the line 35 total lateral length are 50mm~120mm, preferably 60mm~100mm.
When the diaper of form becomes the form of having assembled as shown in Figure 3, just reduced local skin to the wearer, especially along the pressure of the skin of leg opening 34, this be because extensible ear 46 and 48 near there is bigger transverse width (i.e. effective percentage of elongation in a lateral direction) at ora terminalis 46B and 48B place down.If desired, then sidepiece elastomeric material 124 can adopt a kind of material with lower SCRF50% power further to reduce along the pressure of leg opening 34.Yet, reduce the lasting stickiness loss of energy that may cause whole diaper along the SCRF50% power of leg opening 34.Therefore, may need to increase pressure, realize the lasting applying of whole diaper along waist opening 36.This can realize by the method that only waist elasticity body material 200 is applied pre-tension deformation before being connected to waist belt piece 6 and 7 at waist elasticity body material 200.In addition, waist elasticity body material 200 also can adopt the material with higher SCRF50% power further to increase along the pressure of waist opening 36.The combination that these relevant power distribute makes diaper realize that continuing applying along waist opening makes along the probability that red seal takes place on the skin of leg opening lower simultaneously again.Can be alternative be when the diaper of form becomes the form of having assembled as shown in Figure 3, can provide lasting applying, and reduce along the probability that red seal takes place on the skin of waist opening along leg opening.This target can so realize: for example, can adopt the material with low SCRF50% power to make waist elasticity body material 200 to reduce the pressure along waist opening 36.Sidepiece elastomeric material 124 can adopt the material with low SCRF50% power.And sidepiece elastomeric material 124 also can carry out pre-tension deformation before being connected on auricle 6 and 7.
Figure 14 has shown another embodiment of diaper 20.As shown in the figure, extensible ear 46 and 48 lateral border 46D and 48D can be parallel to longitudinal centre line (showing among Figure 14) and extend, and are parallel to medial border 46C and 48C.Also have, extensible ear 46 and 48 elastomeric material near the width L3 transversely at ora terminalis 46B and 48B place down roughly with close on the width at ora terminalis 46A and 48A place identical, therefore, extensible ear 46 and 48 provides the available elastomeric material amount of roughly the same quantity in a lateral direction at it.
In a further advantageous embodiment, diaper as shown in figure 14 forms the form of having assembled, and the original perimeter of zone 38 in relaxed state lower edge waist edge 151 and 155 can be 210mm~510mm, preferably 260mm~410mm continuously.Continuously zone 38 is extensible to 650mm at least along the girth (stretching girth) of waist edge 151 and 155,700mm at least preferably, more preferably 750mm at least.The girth of zone 38 along the line 35 can be 300mm~540mm, preferably 390mm~490mm continuously.Zone 38 can be 50mm~150mm, preferably 80mm~120mm along the minimum constructive height of seam 32 measurements continuously.The height of the continuous zone 37 of waist (being continuous extensible waist spare 60) can be 5mm~40mm, preferably 15mm~30mm.In diaper 20 1 sides, extensible ear 46 and 48 along the line 35 total lateral length are 50mm~120mm, preferably 60mm~100mm.
When diaper shown in Figure 14 becomes when assembling form, the lasting applying along waist opening can be provided, and also littler along the incidence rate of red seal on the skin of leg opening.For realizing this goal, sidepiece elastomeric material 124 can use the material with low SCRF50% power, and the corresponding elastic force that can improve waist elasticity body material 200 by the material that employing has higher SCRF50% power of waist elasticity body material 200.For this purpose, waist elasticity body material 200 can also carry out pre-tension deformation before being connected on waist belt piece 6 and 7.Otherwise, have the diaper of form as shown in figure 14, when it becomes when assembling form, can provide along leg opening to continue to fit, and make along red seal incidence rate on the skin of waist opening littler.For reaching this target, waist elasticity body material 200 can adopt the material with low SCRF50% power.Accordingly, can improve the elastic force of sidepiece elastomeric material 124 by the material that employing has higher SCRF50% power.For this purpose, sidepiece elastomeric material 124 can also carry out pre-tension deformation before being connected on auricle 10 and 11.
Figure 15 shows that an alternative of diaper 20.As shown in the figure, lateral border 46D and 48D are not parallel to medial border 46C and 48C, nor are parallel to longitudinal centre line (not showing among Figure 15), laterally outer stretching out when close ora terminalis 46B down of lateral border 46D and 48D and 48B.Therefore, extensible ear 46 and 48 is near down ora terminalis 46B and 48B at one and has a transverse width L5 between medial border 46C and 48C and lateral border 46D and the 48D, and ora terminalis 46A and 48A are between medial border 46C and 48C and lateral border 46D and the 48D and have transverse width L4 on close.Width L4 is greater than width L5, and therefore extensible ear 46 and 48 transverse widths (i.e. available elastomeric material quantity on horizontal direction) near last ora terminalis 46A and 48A place are greater than the transverse width at close ora terminalis 46B down and 48B place.Then the extensibility near last ora terminalis 46A and 48A place has increased.Also have, since extensible ear 46 and extensible ear 48 the two all be near on ora terminalis 46A and 48A place bigger transverse width (being available elastomeric material quantity) is arranged, so, after extensible ear 46 and 48 combines, near the further increase of transverse width (being available elastomeric material quantity) at last ora terminalis 46A and 48A place.In the form that an extensible ear 46 and extensible ear 48 combine, seam 32 is not parallel to longitudinal centre line 100, and promptly as shown in figure 16, seam 32 is near them during by top 32B, and is laterally protruding.In Figure 16 and since waist elasticity body material 200 before being connected to waist belt piece 6 and 7 by pre-tension deformation, so slightly dwindled a bit along the girth of continuous extensible waist spare 60.If waist elasticity body material 200 is by further pre-tension deformation, then as shown in figure 17, become littler along the girth of continuous extensible waist spare 60 than girth through the diaper of the part of extensible ear 46 and 48, thereby it is similar with shape shown in Figure 13 to Fig. 1 that the shape of diaper under the form of having assembled just becomes.Yet, since extensible ear 46 and 48 original configuration near on ora terminalis 46A and 48A place have bigger transverse width, so diaper 20 as shown in figure 17 ora terminalis 46A and 48A place on close still have more elastomeric material quantity.
In a further advantageous embodiment, wherein diaper as shown in figure 15 forms the form of having assembled, and wherein zone 38 its original perimeter along waist edge 151 and 155 under relaxed state can be 220mm~520mm continuously, is preferably 270mm~420mm.Continuously zone 38 is extensible to 650mm at least along the girth (stretching girth) of waist edge 151 and 155, is preferably 700mm at least, more preferably 750mm at least.The girth of zone 38 along the line 35 can be 300mm~530mm continuously, is preferably 380mm~480mm.Zone 38 can be 50mm~150mm, preferably 80mm~120mm along the minimum constructive height of seam 32 measurements continuously.The height of the continuous zone 37 of waist (being continuous extensible waist spare 60) can be 5mm~40mm, preferably 15mm~30mm.In a side of diaper 20, extensible ear 46 and 48 along the line 35 total transverse width are 50mm~120mm, preferably 60mm~100mm.
The diaper of form as shown in figure 15, when its formation has been assembled form, just reduced partial to the wearer, especially along the pressure of the skin of waist opening 36, this be because extensible ear 46 and 48 near on ora terminalis 46A and 48A place have bigger transverse width (i.e. available elastomeric material quantity in the horizontal).If necessary, waist elasticity body material 200 can adopt the material with lower SCRF50% power, with the pressure of further reduction along waist opening 36.Yet, reduce along the SCRF50% power of waist opening 36 and may the lasting coating performance of whole diaper be caused damage.Therefore, may need to increase pressure, to realize the lasting applying of whole diaper along leg opening 34.This point can by before being connected on auricle 10 and 11 at sidepiece elastomeric material 124 only counter-lateral quadrents elastomeric material 124 carry out pre-tension deformation and realize.Also have, sidepiece elastomeric material 124 also can adopt the material with higher SCRF50% power, further increases the pressure around leg opening 34.These combinations that distribute about power allow the lasting applying of diaper realization around leg opening, and can reduce along the probability of the skin generation red seal of leg opening.Can be alternative be that the diaper of form as shown in figure 15 when it becomes when assembling form, can provide along waist opening to continue to fit, and reduce along the probability of the skin generation red seal of leg opening.This target can be achieved like this: for example, sidepiece elastomeric material 124 can adopt the material with low SCRF50% power, and with the pressure of reduction along leg opening 34, and waist elasticity body material 200 can adopt the elastomeric material with higher SCRF50% power.In addition, waist elasticity body material 200 can also carry out pre-tension deformation before being connected to waist belt piece 6 and 7.
When diaper 20 through wearer's body on the time, continuously zone 38 provides dynamic applying power, and diaper is remained on one's body the wearer.Though, it is better to the lasting applying meeting of diaper that continuous zone 38 produces higher applying power, but the higher applying power of zone 38 generations can cause generation difficulty when the wearer uses diaper continuously, because the user of diaper must apply the bigger power continuous zone 38 that stretches to diaper, with fixing wideer waist opening and leg opening.Because zone 38 has comprised sidepiece elastomeric material 124 and waist elasticity body material 200 continuously, put at cover that two kinds of elastomeric materials all must stretch in the process of diaper, so it is more important than the extensible characteristic of the extensible characteristic of independent continuous extensible waist spare 60 and/or independent extensible ear 46 and 48 to include the extensible characteristic of continuous zone 38 of side and waist elasticity body material, although the extensible characteristic of independent continuous extensible waist spare 60 and/or independent extensible ear 46 and 48 extensible characteristic also remain important.Prior art is such as the United States Patent (USP) 5,601 of authorizing people such as Kato in the bulletin on February 11st, 1997,547 disclose a waist elastic system as child's training pants, this system has improved coefficient of elasticity, and more comfortable applying is provided, and has increased ease of use.Yet this publication only is the improvement at waist elastic system.
In extensible scope, continuously zone 38 begins stretching from initial percentage of elongation (promptly 0%).Percentage of elongation can calculate from following formula:
Percentage of elongation=((stretching girth-original perimeter)/original perimeter) * 100),
And be expressed as the form of % (percentage ratio).The original perimeter of zone 38 is continuous zone 38 girths under relaxed state continuously, and the stretching girth is the girth of continuous zone 38 under extended state.Wide range of stretch makes diaper can obtain the waist opening and the leg opening of broad in use; Bigger stretching girth makes when using diaper, can obtain bigger space between the diaper of extended state and wearer's body.The girth of continuous zone 38 is that the waist edge (being the waist edge 151 and 155 of continuous extensible waist spare 60) of the continuous zone 38 in edge records.
In order to help conveniently the using of diaper (being wide waist opening and wide leg opening), the original perimeter of the continuous zone 38 of diaper can be between about 220mm~about 500mm; The stretching girth of the continuous zone 38 of diaper is at least about 650mm.More particularly, for body weight is about the diaper of the child design of learning to walk of 7kg~10kg, the original perimeter of its continuous zone 38 is about 220mm~460mm, preferably is about 250mm~360mm; For body weight is about the diaper of the child design of learning to walk of 9kg~14kg, the original perimeter of its continuous zone 38 is about 240mm~480mm, preferably is about 270mm~380mm; For body weight is about the diaper of 13kg or the above child's design of learning to walk, the original perimeter of its continuous zone 38 is about 260mm~500mm, preferably is about 290mm~400mm.For body weight is about the diaper of the child design of learning to walk of 7kg~10kg, the stretching girth of its continuous zone 38 is at least about 650mm, preferably is about 700mm; For body weight is about the diaper of the child design of learning to walk of 9kg~14kg, the stretching girth of its continuous zone 38 is at least about 700mm, preferably is about 750mm; For body weight is about the diaper of 13kg or the above child's design of learning to walk, the stretching girth of its continuous zone 38 is at least about 750mm, preferably is about 800mm.The scope of the elongation of diaper can reach and be at least about 125% percentage of elongation, preferably is about 135%, more preferably is about 150%.
Zone 38 has a power-percentage of elongation curve and a stretching, extension modulus in extensible scope continuously.Power-percentage of elongation curve representation required power of the continuous zone 38 of stretching and the dependency relation between the percentage of elongation of zone 38 continuously; The ratio of variation and percentage of elongation variation of power that stretched modular representation, representation unit is g/% percentage of elongation (i.e. a gram/percent stretch).Measuring the method that stretches modulus will describe afterwards.Higher stretching, extension modulus means that the rate of change of power of the continuous zone 38 that stretches is higher.User can be taken this part as limit of stretch when the stretching, extension modulus is very high.Otherwise lower stretching, extension modulus means that the rate of change of power of the continuous zone 38 that stretches is lower, and this makes user not need to increase bigger power when stretching continuous zone 38, and user may identification not go out limit of stretch.Therefore, preferably, zone 38 has lower stretching, extension modulus near the stretching girth of using for diaper continuously.Also have, preferably, with less power diaper is stretched to the confession diaper and uses the stretching girth that covers.
For the convenience that helps the diaper dispensing or cover (is that less power just can obtain the percentage of elongation for the diaper use, and has less stretching, extension modulus) at the percentage of elongation place that wears for diaper dispensing cover, stretching, extension modulus at 125% percentage of elongation place should be not more than about 150 gram/% percentage of elongation, preferably be not more than about 120 gram/% percentage of elongation, more preferably be not more than about 100 gram/% percentage of elongation.Stretching, extension modulus in the following range of stretch of 125% percentage of elongation is preferably and is not more than about 150 gram/% percentage of elongation, more preferably is not more than about 120 gram/% percentage of elongation.Stretching, extension modulus at 135% percentage of elongation place should be not more than about 200 gram/% percentage of elongation, preferably is not more than about 175 gram/% percentage of elongation, more preferably is not more than about 150 gram/% percentage of elongation.Stretching, extension modulus in the following range of stretch of 135% percentage of elongation is preferably and is not more than about 200 gram/% percentage of elongation, more preferably is not more than about 175 gram/% percentage of elongation.Stretching, extension modulus at 150% percentage of elongation place is preferably and is not more than about 300 gram/% percentage of elongation, more preferably is not more than about 250 gram/% percentage of elongation.The power that obtains 125% percentage of elongation be preferably be not more than about 5,000g, more preferably be not more than about 4,500g.The power that obtains 135% percentage of elongation be preferably be not more than about 6,000g, more preferably be not more than about 5,500g.The power that obtains 150% percentage of elongation be preferably be not more than about 9,000g, more preferably be not more than about 8,000g.
