Description

  The present invention relates to an absorbent article. More specifically, the present invention relates to an absorbent article that can be easily attached to a male genitalia and used, and that can ensure a good wearing state and effectively prevent urine leakage.

  Conventionally, as an absorbent article such as a urine pad for infants or adults such as elderly people and disabled persons, a top sheet, a back sheet, and an absorbent body interposed between parts of both sheets are provided. Absorbent articles are known.

  By using the absorbent article so that the surface of the top sheet is in contact with the skin of the wearer, the urine excreted by the wearer permeates the top sheet and is absorbed and held by the absorbent body. At the same time, urine is prevented from leaking to the outside by the backsheet having excellent leakproofness.

  In particular, as an absorbent article specialized for men, it has a peripheral wall composed of a liquid-permeable inner sheet, a liquid-impervious outer sheet, and a liquid-absorbent core interposed between the two sheets. Bag-shaped absorbent articles whose edges are open so that penis can be inserted have been proposed (see, for example, Patent Documents 1 to 3).

  Examples of such absorbent articles specialized for men include, for example, a top sheet, a back sheet, an absorbent body disposed between the two sheets, and a gather at least partially located on the top sheet. An absorbent article provided with a sheet and having an opening for inserting male genitals with this gather sheet, and a substantially bag-like shape having an opening through which the inside of the pad body having the absorbent body can be seen, Absorbent articles in which holes for inserting male genitals are formed have been proposed (see, for example, Patent Documents 4 to 6).

Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 60-69114 Japanese Patent No. 3492555 JP 2002-52036 A JP 2004-351136 A JP 2002-336285 A Japanese Patent No. 3500267

  However, the absorbent article described in Patent Documents 1 to 3 is a bag shape configured such that the sheet on the surface that contacts the user's skin side is short and the sheet on the opposite surface is long. Therefore, there is a problem that it is very difficult to determine whether or not the user's male genitals are sufficiently contained inside the bag.

  In particular, when it is difficult for the user to wear the absorbent article by himself and the caregiver needs assistance, the male genitals can be seen from the caregiver's line of sight by the sheet on the opposite side of the user's skin. Since it is hidden, it becomes difficult for the caregiver to confirm the position of the male genitalia. Also, when used by a person with penile atrophy such as the elderly, it is difficult to confirm whether the penis is securely contained in the bag, or when the orientation of the penis is unknown However, there is a problem that urine leakage from the absorbent article tends to occur.

  Moreover, in the absorbent article described in Patent Document 4, by arranging the gather sheet, it is designed so that the male genitals are not easily pulled out by narrowing the frontage, but on the side opposite to the user's skin side. Since the sheet | seat is comprised long, the problem that a user's male genitalia hides like the absorbent article of the said patent documents 1-3 was not solved.

  In addition, the absorbent articles described in Patent Documents 5 and 6 have one end in the longitudinal direction open, and are formed in a bag shape only to the lower side than the hole into which the male genitalia is inserted because of ease of wearing. Therefore, for example, when the penis is directed upwards of the body, or when the user is in a posture, particularly on the back, there is a problem that excreted urine becomes very easily leaked.

  In addition, Patent Document 6 includes an example in which the opening of the absorbent article is closed with an adhesive after the male genitalia is attached to form a complete bag shape. In such a case, the opening is once bonded. If it is closed, it becomes difficult to reopen the opening, and it becomes extremely difficult to correct the position of the male genital when the penis is displaced during wearing. Moreover, in the case of a wearer who can excrete in the toilet himself / herself, once the absorbent article is removed and excreted, it becomes difficult to wear the absorbent article again.

  The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems of the prior art, and can be easily mounted on a male genitalia and used to ensure a good wearing state and effectively prevent urine leakage. An absorbent article that can be prevented is provided.

  As a result of intensive studies to solve the problems of the prior art as described above, the present inventor inserted male genitals for inserting male genitals on one side as an absorbent article to be attached to the male genitals of users. It is conceived that the above-mentioned problems can be solved by providing a bag body in which a hole is formed and a lid body that covers the opening portion of the bag body so as to cover the opening portion. The present invention has been completed. Specifically, the following absorbent articles are provided by the present invention.

[1] A urine collection bag body that is formed in a bag shape having at least a part of one end opened, and has a male organ insertion hole for inserting a male device on one surface, and the urine collection bag A lid is formed on the opening by extending from at least a part of the periphery of the opening on the surface side of the body where the male instrument insertion hole is formed and covering the opening of the urine collection bag A urine-collecting bag body, at least a part of which is sandwiched between an inner sheet made of a liquid-permeable material and an outer sheet made of a liquid-impermeable material. The urine collection bag body, the urine excreted by the user is collected in the urine collection bag body, the urine collection bag body, Absorption that permeates the inner sheet and absorbs and holds the urine by the absorber. Sex articles.

[2] The absorbent article according to [1], wherein the urine collection bag is configured by a sheet made of an impermeable material on an outer surface of the urine collection bag.

[3] The lid includes fixing means for detachably fixing the lid to the urine collection bag in a state of being folded back so as to cover the opening of the urine collection bag. Or the absorbent article as described in [2].

[4] The urine collection bag includes the fixing means for detachably fixing the urine collection bag on the outer surface of the urine collection bag. The absorbent article in any one.

[5] The absorbent article according to any one of [1] to [4], wherein the urine collection bag is a bag having a gusset portion at a side edge portion of the bag.

  The absorbent article of the present invention can be used by simply attaching it to a male genitalia, can ensure a good wearing state, and effectively leaks urine excreted inside the urine collection bag Can be prevented. In particular, the absorbent article of the present invention confirms the state inside the urine collection bag body from the opening of the urine collection bag body, and closes the lid extending from the urine collection bag body to collect the urine. Since it is possible to cover the bag body, for example, the user cannot wear the absorbent article himself, and this is extremely effective when the caregiver assists the wearing. Of course, even when the user wears an absorbent article himself, confirm the condition of the male genitals from the opening of the urine collection bag, and further adjust the arrangement of the male genitals from the opening. Therefore, it is possible to effectively prevent the absorbent article from being removed from the male genitalia or from being displaced, and a good wearing feeling can be obtained.

  Hereinafter, the form for implementing the absorbent article of this invention is demonstrated concretely, referring drawings. However, the present invention broadly encompasses absorbent articles having the invention specific items, and is not limited to the following embodiments.

[1] Absorbent article:
As shown in FIGS. 1A to 1D, the absorbent article of the present invention is formed into a bag shape in which at least a part of one end is opened, and a male instrument insertion hole for inserting a male instrument 82 on one surface. The urine collection bag 2 formed with 3 and the urine collection bag 2 are extended from at least a part of the peripheral edge of the opening 4 on the surface side where the male instrument insertion hole 3 is formed. A lid 5 that covers the opening 4 by folding it back so as to cover the opening 4 of the bag 2, and at least a part of the urine collection bag 2 is an inner side made of a liquid-permeable material. It is composed of a laminated sheet 14 in which an absorbent body 22 is sandwiched between a sheet 18 and an outer sheet 20 made of a liquid-impermeable material, and a male device 82 of a user 80 is inserted into the male device insertion hole 3, The urine excreted by the user 80 is collected in the urine collection bag 2, and the urine collection bag 2 The sheet 18 by transmitting a absorbent product 1a which absorb and retain urine at absorber 22.

  Such an absorbent article of the present invention can be used by simply wearing it on a male genitalia and can ensure a good wearing state, and leakage of urine excreted inside the urine collection bag Can be effectively prevented.

  That is, as shown in FIG. 1D, the absorbent article of the present invention has a male device 82 (specifically, a penis) of a user 80 (also called a wearer) inserted into a male device insertion hole of the urine collection bag 2. 3, the absorbent article 1a is used by being attached to a male device 82. And in the state which mounted | wore with the absorbent article 1a in this way, an underwear, a disposable diaper, etc. are worn by a normal method. When the user 80 excretes urine, the excreted urine is once collected in the urine collection bag 2 and the inner sheet 18 of the laminated sheet 14 constituting at least a part of the urine collection bag 2 is used. The urine is absorbed and held by the absorber 22 that is transmitted therethrough and disposed in the lower layer.

  When the absorbent article of the present invention is attached to the absorbent article, the state inside the urine collection bag body is confirmed from the opening of the urine collection bag body and is extended from the urine collection bag body. By closing the lid, the urine collection bag can be covered. For this reason, for example, when inserting a male genital into a male genital insertion hole, an absorbent article is attached by pulling the tip of the male genital from the inside of a urine collection bag (hereinafter sometimes referred to simply as a bag) The male instrument can be firmly inserted into the male instrument insertion hole, and the absorbent article can be mounted stably.

  In addition, since the lid extends from at least a part of the periphery of the opening on the surface side where the male instrument insertion hole is formed, the lid does not get in the way when worn, and the inside of the urine collection bag body Easy to check status.

  In addition, since the male genital insertion hole is formed in the urine collection bag itself, the male genital is easily stored in the urine collection bag. For example, if a male genital insertion hole is formed on the side of the lid that extends from the opening, it will be difficult to fit the male genitalia inside the urine collection bag, and it will take time and effort to wear it. The urine leakage is likely to occur.

  As described above, the absorbent article of the present invention is difficult for the user to wear the absorbent article himself even if the user wears the absorbent article himself, and the caregiver wears it. Even if it is a case where it assists, mounting | wearing of an absorbent article is very simple.

  Here, FIG. 1A is a perspective view schematically showing one embodiment of the absorbent article of the present invention, and is a view of the absorbent article as seen from the side opposite to the side in contact with the wearer. FIG. 1B is a perspective view schematically showing one embodiment of the absorbent article of the present invention, and is a view of the absorbent article as seen from the side in contact with the wearer. FIG. It is a perspective view showing typically one embodiment of an absorptive article of the invention, and is a figure showing the state where a lid was opened. Moreover, FIG. 1D is sectional drawing which shows typically the state with which the user mounted | wore one embodiment of the absorbent article of this invention.

[1-1] Urine collection bag:
The urine collection bag is formed in a bag shape in which at least a part of one end thereof is opened, and a male instrument insertion hole for inserting a male instrument is formed on one surface. At least a part of the urine collection bag is composed of a laminated sheet in which an absorber is sandwiched between an inner sheet made of a liquid-permeable material and an outer sheet made of a liquid-impermeable material. Thereby, the urine excreted by the user can be collected by the urine collection bag, and further, the collected urine can be absorbed and held by the absorbent body through the inner sheet.

  This urine collection bag is designed to prevent the excreted urine from leaking out of the urine collection bag when excreted from the male genitalia inserted into the male genital insertion hole. The side is preferably constituted by a sheet made of a liquid-impermeable material. For example, as a sheet constituting the outer surface side of the urine collection bag body, a sheet made of a sheet (for example, a cross-like film) in which a nonwoven fabric is attached to a liquid-impermeable film can be suitably used. By using a sheet of such a material, it is possible to effectively prevent a user's skin trouble. In addition, the sheet | seat which comprises the outer surface side of such a bag body may be used as an outer sheet | seat in the said laminated sheet, and may be arrange | positioned further outside the said laminated sheet.

  As described above, the urine collection bag has an absorbent body for absorbing and holding excreted urine. In the present invention, at least a part of the urine collection bag is configured in the state of a laminated sheet in which an absorber is sandwiched between an inner sheet made of a liquid-permeable material and an outer sheet made of a liquid-impermeable material. ing.

  The absorber may be arranged so as to be able to absorb urine from the entire inner surface of the urine collection bag, or the user's skin side or the opposite side of the urine collection bag It may be arranged only on the surface side.

  Examples of the absorbent material constituting the absorber include conventionally known absorbent materials usually used for disposable diapers and other absorbent articles, such as fluff pulp, super absorbent polymer (Super Absorbent Polymer; hereinafter referred to as “SAP”). And a hydrophilic sheet. It is possible to use wood pulp or non-wood pulp defibrated as fluff pulp, sodium polyacrylate as SAP, tissue, absorbent paper, hydrophilized nonwoven fabric as hydrophilic sheet preferable. Moreover, as a countermeasure against the loss of shape of the absorbent body, synthetic fibers such as heat-sealing fibers may be included.

  These absorbent materials are usually used as a single-layer or multi-layer mat. Under the present circumstances, 1 type may be used independently among the said absorptive materials, and 2 or more types may be used together. Especially, what used together about 10-500 mass parts SAP with respect to 100 mass parts of fluff pulp is preferable. At this time, the SAP may be uniformly mixed in each mat of fluff pulp, or may be arranged in layers between the layers of the multilayer fluff pulp.

  It is preferable that the absorber is entirely wrapped with a hydrophilic sheet. Such a configuration has an advantage that SAP can be prevented from leaking from the absorber and shape stability can be imparted to the absorber.

  The inner sheet constituting the laminated sheet is a sheet arranged so as to cover one surface of the absorber, and constitutes at least a part of the inner surface of the urine collection bag. Since the inner sheet needs to absorb urine excreted in the urine collection bag, at least a part (all or a part) of the inner sheet is made of a liquid-permeable material.

  Examples of the liquid permeable material constituting the inner sheet include a woven fabric, a nonwoven fabric, and a porous film. Among these, it is preferable to use a non-woven fabric made of a thermoplastic resin such as polypropylene, polyethylene, polyester, or nylon and subjected to a hydrophilic treatment. There is no restriction | limiting in particular also about the kind of nonwoven fabric, The conventionally well-known nonwoven fabric manufactured by various manufacturing methods, such as air through (card hot air), card | curd embossing, and a spun bond, can be used suitably. The inner sheet may be composed of a single sheet material, or may be composed of a plurality of sheet materials.

  The outer sheet constituting the laminated sheet is a sheet arranged so as to cover the other surface of the absorber, and it is necessary to prevent leakage of urine absorbed and held by the absorber to the outside. Consists of a permeable material.

  Examples of the liquid-impermeable material constituting the outer sheet include a liquid-impermeable film made of a resin such as polyethylene. Among these, a microporous polyethylene film is preferably used. This microporous polyethylene film has a large number of fine pores of 0.1 to several μm, and is liquid impermeable but moisture permeable. There is an advantage that you can. When the outer sheet is a sheet constituting the outer surface side of the urine collection bag, it is preferable to use the cross-like film described above.

  The shape of the urine collection bag is such that the male genital organ, more specifically, the penis can be inserted into the male genital insertion hole and the penis can be stored inside the urine collection bag. There is no particular limitation, and for example, the surface that contacts the user's skin and the opposite surface (that is, the surface that is located on the clothing side when wearing underwear, etc.) are joined so that one end is open. And the like formed into a bag shape.

  1A shows an example where the surface shape of the urine collection bag is rectangular, it may be an inverted triangle, a home base pentagon, a T shape, or the like. By comprising in this way, the site | part corresponded to a user's crotch part becomes thin, and the discomfort at the time of mounting | wearing can be reduced.

  2A to 2C, the absorbent article of the present invention is, for example, an absorbent article 1b in which a gusset portion 32 is provided on a side edge portion of a bag (urine collection bag body 2). Also good. With this configuration, the opening 4 is widened, and the urine collection bag 2 can have an appropriate thickness, so that the male genitalia can be satisfactorily stored inside the urine collection bag 2. Can do. This is particularly effective when a caregiver assists wearing.

  Examples of the fastening means include an adhesive tape, a mechanical fastener (also referred to as a planar fastener), a hot melt, and the like. A mechanical fastener is a planar fastener that uses mechanical coupling. For example, a convex member (hook material) having a large number of protrusions (such as hooks, mushrooms, hooks, etc.) formed on the surface, and a loop on the surface. Often used is a combination of a concave material (loop material) in which shaped fibers are arranged. This mechanical fastener is firmly fixed in a state where both members can be removed by overlapping the hook material on the surface of the loop material and engaging a large number of protrusions of the hook material with the surface of the loop material. It is something that can be done.

  Further, the urine collection bag used in the absorbent article of the present invention may have fixing means for detachably fixing the urine collection bag on the outer surface of the urine collection bag. Good. By comprising in this way, the absorbent article with which the male instrument was mounted | worn can be fixed to clothing, a disposable diaper, etc., and the position shift of an absorbent article can be prevented effectively. Such a fixing means may be provided on the lid. For example, FIGS. 4A and 4B show an example in which the fixing means 36 is provided on the outer surface of the lid 5.

  Examples of the fixing means include an adhesive tape, a mechanical fastener (also referred to as a planar fastener), hot melt, and the like.

  As for the size and position of the fixing means, the absorbent article can be fixed to the inner surface of clothing, diapers, etc., and a binding force sufficient to prevent displacement of the absorbent article can be obtained. If there is no restriction | limiting in particular, For example, it can determine suitably according to the shape and manufacturing method of a urine collection bag.

  Moreover, in the absorbent article of this invention, like the absorbent article 1e shown to FIG. 5A and FIG. 5B, the fastening means 34 for attaching the cover body 5 so that attachment or detachment is possible, and the absorbent article 1e are clothing. The fixing means 36 for detachably fixing to the head or the like can be constituted by the same adhesive tape or mechanical fastener, and the remaining portion when the lid 5 is fastened can be used as the fixing means 36.

FIG. 5A and 5B, the same components as those of the absorbent article 1a shown in FIGS. 1A to 1C are denoted by the same reference numerals, and description thereof is omitted.

  When producing a urine collection bag constituting the absorbent article of the present invention, first, for example, as shown in FIG. 6A, an inner sheet 58 made of a liquid-permeable material and an outer side made of a liquid-impermeable material. A laminated sheet 54 a in which the absorber 62 is sandwiched between the sheet 60 is formed. Next, by folding the obtained laminated sheet 54a and joining the folded side edge portions into a bag shape, the urine collection bag body 42a of the absorbent article 41a as shown in FIG. 6B is formed. Can do.

  In addition, when forming the laminated sheet 54a as shown in FIG. 6A, the male instrument insertion hole 43 is formed on the surface that contacts the user's skin side (hereinafter also referred to as skin contact surface), Further, when the laminated sheet 54a is bent, one end side of the laminated sheet 54a constitutes the lid body 45 extending from the opening 44 of the urine collection bag 42a. The length on the part side is preferably formed to be longer than the end on the opposite side.

  Here, FIG. 6A and FIG. 6B are plan views showing an example of a method for producing an absorbent article of the present invention. In addition, the code | symbol 46 in FIG. 6A has shown the junction part for joining the side edge part of the folded laminated sheet 54a. Moreover, the dashed-dotted line in FIG. 6A has shown the valley fold line at the time of folding a laminated sheet.

  As shown in FIG. 6A, when the absorbent body 62 is interposed between the inner sheet 58 and the outer sheet 60, the absorbent body 62 is not arranged around the male instrument insertion hole 43. It is preferable to do. For example, when the absorbent body 62 is disposed around the male instrument insertion hole 43, pulp or the like contained in the absorbent body 62 may protrude from the male instrument insertion hole 43. FIG. 6A shows an example in which a male instrument insertion hole 43 formed of a cross-shaped cut is formed, and the absorbent body 62 is arranged so as to avoid a circular shape around the male instrument insertion hole 43. .

  Further, as shown in FIG. 6A, when the laminated sheet 54a is folded in two with respect to the longitudinal direction and the folded side edge portions are joined, a predetermined distance is applied from the edge opposite to the skin contact surface side. In the range P, it is preferable not to join the side edge portions that overlap each other. With this configuration, when the opening 45 of the urine collection bag 42a is covered with the lid 45, the end on the side opposite to the skin contact surface side (the range indicated by the symbol P) is provided. The lid 44 can be further folded by slightly folding it toward the opening 44, and urine leakage from the opening 44 can be more effectively prevented.

[1-1a] Male genital insertion hole:
In the urine collection bag constituting the absorbent article of the present invention, a male instrument insertion hole for inserting a male instrument (penis) is formed. There are no particular restrictions on the shape of the male genital insertion hole, but it is preferable that the penis of the user can be inserted into the male genital insertion hole as far as the root, and when the penis is inserted into the male genital insertion hole Furthermore, it is more preferable that the hole shape is such that urine does not easily leak from the gap between the male organ insertion hole and the penis.

  The male instrument insertion hole is not limited to a hole that allows the outer surface and the inner surface of the urine collection bag body to communicate with each other, but may be formed by making a cut in the urine collection bag body. For example, as a male instrument insertion hole, as shown in FIG. 11A, in addition to a circular male instrument insertion hole 3, a male instrument insertion hole 3 having a cross-shaped cut as shown in FIG. 11B, shown in FIG. 11C. A male insertion hole 3 having an X-shaped (cross-shaped) cut, a male insertion hole 3 having a combination of four arcs as shown in FIG. 11D, and a tongue as shown in FIG. 11E A male genital insertion hole 3 made of a piece-like cut, a male genital insertion hole 3 made of an H-like cut, as shown in FIG. In the case of the male instrument insertion hole 3 having a shape as shown in FIGS. 11B to 11F, the male hole can be held well because the insertion hole widens according to the size of the user's penis, Since a valve is formed around the hole, there is an advantage that the back flow of urine from the male instrument insertion hole 3 hardly occurs.

  Here, FIG. 11A-FIG. 11F is explanatory drawing which shows typically the shape of the male organ insertion hole formed in the bag body for urine collection which comprises the absorbent article of this invention.

[1-2] Lid:
The lid is extended from at least a part of the peripheral edge of the opening on the surface side where the male instrument insertion hole of the urine collection bag is formed. By adopting such a lid, it is possible to easily check and correct the position of the male genitalia inside the urine collection bag, and the excreted urine is removed from the urine collection bag. Leakage from the opening can be effectively prevented.

  In addition, a cover-type lid formed so as to extend from such an opening can easily open and close the lid even after the opening is closed. Even if the position of the male genitals is shifted inside the urine collection bag during the use of the article, the position of the male genus can be easily corrected by removing the lid covering the opening.

  Since the lid is for covering the opening of the urine collection bag, at least the portion covering the opening is liquid-tight so that urine excreted inside the urine collection bag does not leak. It is preferable that the sheet is made of a permeable material. As such a sheet, for example, a sheet constituting the outer surface side of the urine collection bag, for example, a cross-like film can be cited as a suitable example. Moreover, you may use the sheet | seat by which the absorber was pinched | interposed by two sheets in a part of cover body. For example, a laminated sheet constituting at least a part of the urine collection bag body may be extended to constitute at least a part of the lid. Thus, the lid may be formed integrally with the urine collection bag, or may be connected to the periphery of the opening of the urine collection bag.

  There is no restriction | limiting in particular about the magnitude | size of a cover body, What is necessary is just a magnitude | size which can close the opening part of a bag. For example, when considering the ease of opening and closing the lid, the length of the portion that is folded back so as to cover the opening is preferably about 20 to 100 mm, and more preferably about 40 to 80 mm.

  The lid may have a fastening means for detachably fastening to the urine collection bag in a state of being folded back so as to cover the opening of the urine collection bag. Such fastening means may be arranged on the urine collection bag side as described above.

  Moreover, the cover body may have a fixing means for detachably fixing the absorbent article to the inner surface of clothing, a diaper or the like. As such a fixing means, those configured in the same manner as the fixing means disposed in the urine collection bag can be used.

  There is no restriction | limiting in particular about the hole shape of a cover body, What is necessary is just a shape which can close the opening part of a bag body. For example, a rectangular shape as shown in FIG. 1A may be used, but a substantially inverted triangle or inverted pentagon is used so that the corner portion of the lid body is not turned over during wearing, and the opening of the urine collection bag body is not opened. Thus, it is preferable that the width becomes narrower toward the tip of the lid body, and it is more preferable that the corner portion of the lid body has a round shape or the like (for example, see FIG. 2A).

  The absorbent article of the present invention can be used as a urine pad for men.
