Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a disposable wearing article such as a disposable outer garment, and more particularly to a wearing article having improved air permeability.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, disposable wearing articles have been widely used in hospitals and the like. These include, for example, surgical gowns and shirts and pants for the subject, many of which are made of non-woven fabric. Non-woven fabric
Those made of thermoplastic synthetic fibers are often used.

[0003]

In the above-mentioned disposable wearing article of the prior art, the nonwoven fabrics are joined together by a hot melt adhesive or welding instead of stitching the nonwoven fabrics to improve the productivity of the article. There is. In addition, a plurality of nonwoven fabrics are tailored into a worn article by a simple joining line as much as possible. However, as a result of this, the wearing article becomes planar, for example, so that the front and back bodies do not fit uniformly around the wearer's torso, but only tightly adhere to the belly and back. There are things. If the non-woven fabric is made of synthetic fiber, it has poor sweat absorption properties, and the wearing article may easily become stuffy due to such close contact, and may become uncomfortable.

[0004] It is an object of the present invention to improve the breathability of these conventional disposable wearing articles when worn.

[0005]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention is based on a disposable wearing article having at least a front body and a rear body. A spacer member extending in an arc from the inner surface of the worn article toward the skin of the wearer, elastically deformable between the inner surface and the skin, and a spacer member formed separately from the article; It is attached to.

In one preferred embodiment of the present invention, the front and rear bodies are formed of a nonwoven fabric or a laminated sheet of a nonwoven fabric and a plastic film.

[0007] In another preferred embodiment, the spacer member is made of crimped synthetic fiber.

[0008] In still another preferred embodiment, the wearing article has a sleeve, and the spacer member is mounted inside the sleeve.

[0009]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The details of a disposable wearing article according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings, taking a disposable outerwear as an example.

An outer garment 1 shown in a partially broken view in FIG. 1 is made of a thermoplastic synthetic fiber non-woven fabric, and includes left and right front bodies 2 and 3, rear body 4 and left and right sleeves 6 and 7. Having. The left and right front bodies 2 and 3 can be opened and closed by engaging and disengaging a hook member 8 and a loop member 9 of a mechanical fastener, respectively, which are attached to the front bodies 2 and 3 and are known by trade names such as magic tape. Left and right front body 2-3
Are welded to the left and right side edges 16A, 17A of the back body 4 and the left and right shoulders 16B, 17B of the back body 4 at the line 13 by the side edges 11A, 12A and the shoulders 11B, 12B. Sleeve 6,7
Are made of two nonwoven fabrics 18 and 19 overlapping in the front-rear direction in the figure, and the nonwoven fabrics 18 and 19 are
, The nonwoven fabric 18 is welded to one of the left and right front bodies 2 and 3 at a line 23, and the nonwoven fabric 19 is welded to the back body 4 at a line not shown.

The outer garment 1 has a first spacer member 31 on the inner surface of the left and right front bodies 2 and 3 and a second spacer member 32 on the inner surface of the rear body 4. The first spacer member 31 extends in the direction around the waist of the outerwear 1, and the second spacer member 32 extends in the up-down direction.

FIG. 2 is a view showing a cross section taken along line II-II of FIG. The first spacer member 31 is separate from the outer garment 1, and is formed by bending a thermoplastic synthetic fiber non-woven fabric into an inverted U-shape or an inverted V-shape under heating.
At the portion 33, and extends from the inner surface toward the wearer's skin while forming an arc. The first spacer member 31 separates the outer garment 1 from the wearer's skin, enhances air permeability between the two, and can prevent stuffiness when the outer garment 1 is worn. When the member 31 touches the skin and is pressed in the direction indicated by the arrow X, it elastically deforms to a state like a virtual line, and when further pressed, the member 31 is flattened to such an extent that it does not substantially feel its thickness. It is possible to become.
Therefore, although the member 31 protrudes inward of the jacket 1, it does not adversely affect the feeling of wearing the jacket 1.
In order to improve the elasticity of the member 31, crimped synthetic fibers,
It is more preferable to use a nonwoven fabric made of crimped conjugate fiber. A nonwoven fabric in which synthetic fibers form a loop and are crimped has both elasticity and good touch, and is one of particularly preferable ones. There is no restriction on the length of the member 31 in the waist direction of the outerwear 1, but in general,
It is preferably in the range of 300 mm.

FIG. 3 is a view showing a cross section taken along line III-III of FIG. The second spacer member 32 is made of the same nonwoven fabric as the first spacer member 31. The edges of the nonwoven fabric are joined to each other at a portion 36 to form a circular cross section, and a portion 37 is formed on the inner surface of the rear body 4. It is joined by. When the second spacer member 32 touches the wearer's skin and is pressed in the direction indicated by the arrow X, it is elastically deformed and comes to the position of the virtual line. The member 32 acts in the same manner as the first spacer member 31 and can enhance the air permeability of the jacket 1. Member 3
There is no particular restriction on the inner diameter and length of the second, but the length is the first
It is preferable that the distance be in the range of 10 to 300 mm similarly to the spacer member 31.

In the present invention, each of the first and second spacer members 31, 32 can be attached to a portion other than the illustrated example, for example, an appropriate portion such as the inside of a sleeve. Further, only one of the first and second spacer members 31, 32 can be used for the outerwear 1. Since the first and second spacer members 31 and 32 are separate from the outerwear 1, the outerwear 1
Non-stretch non-woven fabric and plastic film, which are relatively inexpensive, and laminated sheets of non-woven fabric and plastic film are used.
If the material is properly used, such as using a stretchable nonwoven fabric having excellent elasticity, the function can be improved while keeping the cost of the jacket 1 low. The outer garment 1 may be made of a woven fabric. The joining of the members of the jacket 1 is preferably performed by welding with heat or ultrasonic waves. However, instead of welding, the members can be bonded with a hot melt adhesive or the like. The present invention can be implemented with various disposable wearing articles such as jackets without sleeves and disposable pants, in addition to the jacket 1 shown in the figure. When the wearing article is made of a poorly breathable sheet material such as a plastic film, if the first and second spacer members 31 and 32 are used, the effect of improving breathability by these members is clearly apparent.

[0015]

The disposable wearing article according to the present invention is:
Since it has an elastically deformable spacer member that extends in an arc toward the wearer's skin on its inner surface, air permeability between the article and the wearer's skin is excellent.
