  The present invention will be described below based on preferred embodiments with reference to the drawings. 1-4, the underpants type disposable diaper 1 which is one Embodiment of the underpants type absorbent article of this invention is described. The diaper 1 has a longitudinal direction X corresponding to the wearer's front-rear direction and a transverse direction Y perpendicular thereto, and is disposed on the non-skin facing surface side of the absorbent main body 2 and the absorbent main body 2. An outer body 3 that fixes the absorbent main body 2, and both side edges FS and RS along the longitudinal direction X of the outer body 3 in the front body F and the rear body R are joined together to form a pair of sides Seal portions S, S, a waist opening WH through which the wearer's torso is passed, and a pair of leg openings LH, LH through which the lower leg of the wearer is passed are formed.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the front body F is a portion that covers the front side (abdominal side) of the wearer's body when worn, with reference to a longitudinal center line Lx that bisects the diaper 1 in the longitudinal direction X. Is a portion covering the back side (back side) of the wearer's body. Moreover, in this specification, a skin opposing surface is a surface (side near a wearer's skin) which is turned to a wearer's skin side in the wearing state in the diaper 1 and its structural member (for example, absorptive main body 2), The non-skin facing surface is a surface (a side farther from the skin than the skin facing surface) directed toward the side opposite to the wearer's skin side in the wearing state in the diaper 1 and its constituent members.

  The diaper 1 includes an abdominal side portion 1A disposed on the abdomen side of the wearer in a worn state, a back side portion 1C disposed on the back side, and a crotch portion positioned between them and disposed on the crotch portion of the wearer. 1B. The longitudinal direction X of the diaper 1 is a direction extending between the front body F and the back body R, that is, a direction extending between the abdominal side 1A and the back side 1C via the crotch 1B, and absorbs It coincides with the longitudinal direction of the main body 2. The abdominal side 1A is a part of the front body F, the back side 1C is a part of the back body R, and the crotch 1B extends over the front body F and the back body R. The abdominal side portion 1A and the back side portion 1C are portions that are in the same position as the side seal portion S in the longitudinal direction X, and are waist corresponding portions that are arranged around the waist of the wearer when the diaper 1 is worn. The crotch part 1 </ b> B is a region in which concave openings (leg edges LS, LS) for forming leg openings LH, LH are formed at both side edges along the longitudinal direction X of the exterior body 3. The crotch part 1B has an excretion part facing part that is disposed to face the excretion part of the wearer when the diaper 1 is worn, and the excretion part facing part is usually a central part (vertical center) of the diaper 1 in the longitudinal direction X. (On line Lx) or in the vicinity thereof.

  The absorptive main body 2 has a rectangular shape in plan view as shown by the contour line in FIG. 2, and the longitudinal direction of the absorbent body 3 is made to coincide with the vertical direction X of the diaper 1 in the expanded and extended state. It arrange | positions at the center part of the horizontal direction Y, and is joined to the exterior body 3 with the adhesive agent. The outer package 3 forms the outer shape of the diaper 1 in the unfolded and extended state of the diaper 1 as shown in FIG. 2, and the peripheral edge of the outer package 3 forms the outline of the diaper 1 in that state. The “expanded and extended state” of the diaper 1 means that the diaper 1 is separated by the side seal portion S to be in the expanded state, and the expanded diaper 1 is stretched by the elastic member of each part to design dimensions (the influence of the elastic member is not at all). It means a state in which it is expanded until it becomes the same size as when it is expanded in a flat state in the excluded state.

  As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the absorbent main body 2 includes a liquid-permeable surface sheet 21 that forms a skin-facing surface, a liquid-impermeable or liquid-permeable or water-repellent material that forms a non-skin-facing surface. It has a back sheet 22 and a liquid-retaining absorbent 23 interposed between both sheets 21 and 22, and these are integrated by a known joining means such as an adhesive. As the top sheet 21 and the back sheet 22, various types conventionally used for this type of absorbent article can be used without particular limitation. For example, various nonwoven fabrics or apertured films can be used as the top sheet 21, and a resin film, a laminate of a resin film and a nonwoven fabric, or the like can be used as the back sheet 22. As the absorbent body 23, for example, an absorbent core containing at least one kind of water-absorbing polymer particles and fiber materials such as pulp fibers can be used, and the absorbent core has a core made of paper, nonwoven fabric or the like on the surface. It may be covered with a wrap sheet.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the exterior body 3 has a pair of leg edge portions LS and LS whose both side edges along the longitudinal direction X are curved in an inward arc shape in the crotch portion 1B. When viewed from above, the central region in the vertical direction X has an hourglass shape that is bound inward in the horizontal direction Y. The exterior body 3 has both side edges FS, FS along the longitudinal direction X in the front body F (abdominal side 1A) and both side edges RS, RS along the longitudinal direction X in the back body R (back side 1C). Are joined together by a known joining means such as an adhesive, heat seal, ultrasonic seal, etc., and as a result of the joining, as shown in FIG. 1, a pair of side seal portions S, S is formed on the diaper 1. A waist opening WH and a pair of leg openings LH, LH are formed.

  As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the exterior body 3 is configured to include a laminate of an outer layer sheet 31 and an inner layer sheet 32. In the wearing state of the diaper 1, the outer layer sheet 31 is located on the side far from the wearer's body to form a non-skin facing surface (outer surface) of the diaper 1, and the inner layer sheet 32 is on the side closer to the wearer's body. Position to form the skin facing surface (inner surface) of the diaper 1. The outer layer sheet 31 and the inner layer sheet 32 are joined by an adhesive at a predetermined site.

  In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, the inner layer sheet 32 is composed of one continuous sheet, whereas the outer layer sheet 31 is composed of a combination of a plurality of sheets. It includes a ventral outer layer sheet 31A constituting the side portion 1A, a dorsal outer layer sheet 31C constituting the back side portion 1C, and a crotch outer layer sheet 31B constituting the crotch portion 1B located between the sheets 31A and 31C. It consists of Each of the sheets 31A, 31B, 31C constituting the outer layer sheet 31 is overlapped with each other in the longitudinal direction X, and a known joining such as an adhesive, a heat seal, a high frequency seal, an ultrasonic seal, etc. They are joined and integrated by means. In the overlapping portion of the sheets 31A and 31C and the sheet 31B, the sheet 31B located in the center of the longitudinal direction X is located on the side relatively close to the absorbent main body 2, and both ends of the sheet 31B in the longitudinal direction X The non-skin facing surface of the part is covered with sheets 31A and 31C.

  As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the ventral outer layer sheet 31 </ b> A has a ventral extension part 31 </ b> AE that extends outward from the end in the longitudinal direction X on the ventral part 1 </ b> A side of the inner layer sheet 32. The back side outer layer sheet 31C has a back side extending part 31CE extending outward from the end in the longitudinal direction X on the back side part 1C side of the inner layer sheet 32, and both extending parts 31AE, 31AE, 31CE is folded back to the inner layer sheet 32 side so as to cover both ends in the longitudinal direction X of the absorbent main body 2 arranged and fixed on the inner layer sheet 32, and both extended portions 31AE, 31CE and It is being fixed to the other structural member (Inner layer sheet 32, the absorptive main body 2, the three-dimensional gathers 5) which opposes the diaper 1 which opposes.

  In the present embodiment, the abdominal outer layer sheet 31A and the back outer layer sheet 31C constituting the outer layer sheet 31 have elasticity, whereas the remaining part of the outer layer sheet 31 (inseam outer layer sheet 31B) and inner layer The sheet 32 does not have stretchability and is non-stretchable.

  The ventral outer layer sheet 31 </ b> A and the back outer layer sheet 31 </ b> C have elasticity in at least the lateral direction Y. FIG. 5 shows an example of a stretchable ventral outer layer sheet 31A. The ventral outer layer sheet 31A shown in FIG. 5 has a configuration in which a thread-like elastic filament is bonded to one surface of an extensible fiber layer mainly composed of non-elastic fibers, and two fiber sheets 41 as the fiber layers. , 42 and an elastic member 43 as an elastic filament disposed between both sheets 41, 42. The stretchable backside outer layer sheet 31A having such a configuration can be manufactured, for example, according to the method described in JP-A-2009-61743. The stretchable back side outer layer sheet 31C can also be configured in the same manner as the stretchable ventral side outer layer sheet 31A shown in FIG.

  The two sheets 41 and 42 constituting the ventral outer layer sheet 31A are both extensible. The sheets 41 and 42 can extend in the same direction as the direction in which the elastic member 43 extends (lateral direction Y). Stretchable means (a) when the constituent fibers themselves of the sheets 41 and 42 are stretched, and (b) even if the constituent fibers themselves do not stretch, This includes a case in which the three-dimensional structure formed by a plurality of fibers is structurally changed due to bonding or the like, or the constituent fibers are broken, and the sheets 41 and 42 are stretched as a whole.

  The elastic member 43 constituting the ventral outer layer sheet 31A is an elastic filament formed by being stretched in a state where the elastic resin is melted or softened. The plurality of elastic members 43 are substantially continuous over the entire length of the sheet 31 </ b> A (the total length in the lateral direction Y of the exterior body 3). The plurality of elastic members 43 are arranged so as to extend in one direction (lateral direction X) without crossing each other. The elastic member 43 is joined to the two sheets 41 and 42 in a substantially non-extended state. In the sheet 31 </ b> A, the elastic member 43 is joined to the sheets 41 and 42 by fusing the elastic members 43 with the fibers (non-elastic fibers) constituting the sheets 41 and 42 embedded in the elastic members 43. However, it is not made using an adhesive such as a hot-melt adhesive. Therefore, there is no adhesive between the sheets 41 and 42 (extensible fiber layer mainly composed of non-elastic fibers) and the elastic member 43 bonded thereto.

  The ventral outer layer sheet 31A can be expanded and contracted in the same direction as the direction in which the elastic member 43 extends (lateral direction Y). The stretchability of the sheet 31 </ b> A appears due to the elasticity of the elastic member 43. When the sheet 31A is stretched in the same direction as the direction in which the elastic member 43 extends, the elastic member 43 and the sheets 41 and 42 expand. When the stretching of the sheet 31A is released, the elastic member 43 contracts, and the sheets 41 and 42 return to the state before the stretching with the contraction. Further, in the sheet 31A, there is no other elastic member coupled in a state orthogonal to the elastic member 43, and therefore the sheet 31A is stretched in the same direction as the direction in which the elastic member 43 extends (lateral direction Y). When this occurs, the sheet 31 </ b> A contracts in the transverse direction Y, and expands with little so-called width contraction.

  Each of the two sheets 41 and 42 constituting the ventral outer layer sheet 31A may be a short fiber nonwoven fabric. Examples of the nonwoven fabric include air-through nonwoven fabric, heat roll nonwoven fabric, spunlace nonwoven fabric, spunbond nonwoven fabric, and meltblown nonwoven fabric. The sheet 41 and the sheet 42 may be the same type or different types. As used herein, the “same type of sheet” means sheets having the same manufacturing process, types of constituent fibers of the sheet, fiber diameters and lengths of the constituent fibers, sheet thickness, basis weight, and the like. . When at least one of these is different, it is a “heterogeneous sheet”.

  The elastic member 43 (elastic filament) constituting the ventral outer layer sheet 31A is made of, for example, a thermoplastic elastomer or rubber. In particular, when a thermoplastic elastomer is used as a raw material, it is possible to perform melt spinning using an extruder in the same manner as a normal thermoplastic resin, and the elastic filament thus obtained is easily heat-sealed. It is suitable for. Examples of the thermoplastic elastomer include styrene such as SBS (styrene-butadiene-styrene), SIS (styrene-isoprene-styrene), SEBS (styrene-ethylene-butadiene-styrene), and SEPS (styrene-ethylene-propylene-styrene). -Based elastomers, olefin-based elastomers (ethylene-based α-olefin elastomers, propylene-based elastomers copolymerized with ethylene, butene, octene, etc.), polyester-based elastomers, polyurethane-based elastomers, and the like. Two or more kinds can be used in combination. Further, core-sheath type or side-by-side type composite fibers made of these resins can also be used.

  Thus, while the ventral outer layer sheet 31A and the back outer layer sheet 31C have stretchability, the crotch outer layer sheet 31B and the inner layer sheet 32 do not have stretchability and are non-stretchable. The non-stretchable sheets 31B and 32 preferably do not have stretchability in the vertical direction X or the horizontal direction Y, and preferably do not have stretchability in both the directions X and Y. In the exterior body 3, the outer layer sheet 31 in which only a part (the abdominal part 1 </ b> A and the back part 1 </ b> C) is stretchable and the inner layer sheet 32 that is not stretchable as a whole are the parts having the stretchability of the outer layer sheet 31 ( Under the stretched state of the ventral outer layer sheet 31A and the dorsal outer layer sheet 31C), they are bonded to each other on the opposing surfaces. Therefore, the outer package 3 as a whole is provided with the ventral outer layer sheet 31A and the dorsal outer layer sheet 31C. The ventral part A and the back part C (waist corresponding part) are stretchable in at least the stretchable direction (lateral direction Y) of both sheets 31A, 31C, and the other part (the crotch B) is Does not have elasticity.

  The fact that the sheet is not substantially stretchable in a certain direction means that the sheet hardly stretches even when a force for pulling in the certain direction is applied to the sheet. For example, when a sample having a length of 15 × width of 5 cm is pulled in a longitudinal direction by a material tensile tester such as Tensilon and the breaking elongation when the sample breaks is 10% or less, The sample is not substantially stretchable in the longitudinal direction. The elongation at break can be calculated by (the sample length at break−the original length of the sample) / (the original length of the sample) × 100.

  As the non-stretching crotch outer layer sheet 31B and the inner layer sheet 32, nonwoven fabrics produced by various manufacturing methods are preferably used, for example, spunbond nonwoven fabric, air-through nonwoven fabric, needle punched nonwoven fabric, and the like. As a constituent fiber of the nonwoven fabric used as the non-stretchable sheets 31B and 32, for example, a fiber made of polyester such as polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), polyamide, or the like Etc. The fibers constituting the nonwoven fabric used as the non-stretchable sheets 31B and 32 may be short fibers or long fibers, and may be hydrophilic or water repellent. Moreover, a core-sheath type or side-by-side type composite fiber, a split fiber, a modified cross-section fiber, a crimped fiber, a heat-shrinkable fiber, or the like can be used. These fibers can be used alone or in combination of two or more.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the exterior body 3 includes a waist elastic member 33 that forms a waist gather at the opening edge of the waist opening WH. That is, one or a plurality of waist elastic members 33 for forming waist gathers (in the present embodiment, a plurality of waist elastic members 33) in the lateral direction of the waist edge WH of the waist opening WH in each of the ventral side A and the back side C. It is arranged in an extended state over the entire length of Y, whereby an annular waist gather that is substantially continuous over the entire circumference is formed in the waist opening WH. The waist elastic member 33 has a thread shape or a belt shape, and is sandwiched and fixed by an adhesive between the outer layer sheet 31 and the inner layer sheet 32 constituting the exterior body 3, as shown in FIG.

  Moreover, the exterior body 3 is a leg elastic member that forms leg gathers at the opening edge of each of the pair of leg openings LH, LH, and is one or a plurality (in this embodiment) arranged in an extended state on the front body F A plurality of front leg elastic members 34 and one or a plurality (in the present embodiment, a plurality) of rear leg elastic members 35 arranged in an extended state on the back body R are provided. Each of the leg elastic members 34 and 35 is thread-like or belt-like, and is sandwiched and fixed by an adhesive between the outer layer sheet 31 and the inner layer sheet 32 constituting the exterior body 3 as shown in FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the front leg elastic member 34 has an opening edge portion of the leg opening portion LH from the both side edge portions FS and FS (side seal portion S) of the exterior body 3 in the front body F (abdominal side portion 1A). It extends inward in the longitudinal direction X and inward in the lateral direction Y along the leg edge LS, and reaches the side edge 2S along the longitudinal direction X of the absorbent main body 2, and further in the lateral direction from the side edge 2S. The end of the elastic member 34 opposite to the side edge portion FS side is located in the region where the absorbent main body 2 is disposed. The front leg elastic member 34 starting from one of the side edges FS, FS of the outer body 3 in the front body F is not connected to the front leg elastic member 34 starting from the other, and the absorbent main body 2 Between the elastic members 34 and 34 existing in the arrangement region, the elastic stretchability by the elastic member does not appear. The front leg elastic member 34 starting from the one side edge FS and the front leg elastic member 34 starting from the other side edge FS have a horizontal center line (not shown) that bisects the diaper 1 in the horizontal direction Y. It is arranged symmetrically as a reference.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the rear leg elastic member 35 has an opening edge of the leg opening LH from both side edges RS, RS (side seal part S) of the exterior body 3 in the back body R (back side part 1C). It extends inward in the longitudinal direction X and inward in the lateral direction Y along the leg edge LS, which is a part, and reaches the side edge 2S along the longitudinal direction X of the absorbent main body 2, and further laterally than the side edge 2S. Extending inward in the direction Y, the end of the elastic member 35 on the side opposite to the side edge RS is positioned in the region where the absorbent main body 2 is disposed. The rear leg elastic member 35 starting from one of the side edges RS, RS of the exterior body 3 in the back body R and the rear leg elastic member 35 starting from the other are not connected and absorbable. Between the elastic members 35, 35 existing in the arrangement region of the main body 2, the elastic stretchability by the elastic member is not expressed. The rear leg elastic member 35 starting from the one side edge RS and the rear leg elastic member 35 starting from the other side edge RS are lateral center lines (not shown) that bisect the diaper 1 in the horizontal direction Y. ) As a reference.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 2, the front leg elastic member 34 and the rear leg elastic member 35 are spaced apart from each other in the longitudinal direction X, thereby forming a separation region 1D. The separation region 1D is located in the crotch portion 1B, is a region where the length (width) in the lateral direction Y is the narrowest in the diaper 1, and includes the excretory part facing part.

  As shown in FIGS. 2 and 4, a pair of three-dimensional gathers 5 and 5 that stand up toward the wearer's skin when worn are on the left and right side portions along the longitudinal direction X of the absorbent main body 2 in the separation region 1 </ b> D. Is provided. Each three-dimensional gather 5 stands up with the absorbent main body 2 side as a base end so as to form a free end 50 on the wearer's skin side, and one or a plurality (in the present embodiment, a plurality) of the free end 50. The elastic member 52 for forming a three-dimensional gather is arranged in an elongated state in the vertical direction X. In the present embodiment, the pair of three-dimensional gathers 5 and 5 extend linearly over the entire length in the longitudinal direction X of the absorbent main body 2, and when the diaper 1 is worn, not only the separation region 1D but also at least the crotch In part 1B, it stands up toward a wearer's skin side.

  The three-dimensional gather 5 includes a liquid-resistant or water-repellent three-dimensional gather forming sheet material 51 and a three-dimensional gather forming elastic member 52 fixed to the sheet material 51. The sheet material 51 is formed of a single belt-like sheet, and one end portion in the lateral direction Y of the sheet material 51 is fixed to the non-skin facing surface of the back sheet 22 with an adhesive to form a fixed end. The other end portion of the material 51 in the lateral direction Y is folded back inward in the lateral direction Y by a folding line (not shown) extending in the longitudinal direction X above the top sheet 21 to form a free end 50. The three-dimensional gather 5 is formed by fixing the elastic member 52 in the form of a thread or band in the longitudinal direction X between the sheets facing each other by the folding, with an adhesive. The three-dimensional gather 5 stands up when the elastic member 52 arranged in the stretched state contracts in the wearing state of the diaper 1 and prevents the liquid from flowing out to the side. Further, as shown in FIG. 4, a thread-like or belt-like elastic member 53 is provided on the portion of the three-dimensional gather 5 facing the side edge 2S of the absorbent main body 2 for the purpose of raising the three-dimensional gather 5 more reliably. The three-dimensional gather 5 is fixed by an adhesive in a state of extending in the longitudinal direction X over the entire length in the longitudinal direction X.

  As the sheet material 51 for forming a three-dimensional gather, an elastic film, a nonwoven fabric, a woven fabric, or a laminated sheet thereof can be used. As the elastic member 52 and the elastic member 53 for forming a three-dimensional gather, the same materials as the waist elastic member 33 and the leg elastic members 34 and 35 can be used. For example, natural rubber, polyurethane, polystyrene-polyisoprene copolymer, A thread-like or belt-like stretchable material made of a polystyrene-polybutadiene copolymer, a polyethylene-α-olefin copolymer such as ethyl acrylate-ethylene, or the like can be used.

  As one of the main features of the diaper 1 of the present embodiment, waist corresponding portions 340 and 350 that are in the same position as the side seal portion S in the longitudinal direction X in the arrangement region of the front leg elastic member 34 and the rear leg elastic member 35. The maximum elongation of the lower waist corresponding portions 341, 351 located inward in the longitudinal direction X (lower when wearing the diaper 1) than the waist corresponding portions 340, 350 is E2. Furthermore, when the maximum elongation of the three-dimensional gather 5 in the separation region 1D is E3, the relationship of E1 <E3 <E2 is established. 2 and 3, waist corresponding parts 340 and 350 and lower waist corresponding parts 341 and 351 are shown, but these are shown mainly for the purpose of clarifying the positional relationship, and the actual part of each part is shown. It is independent of size.

Here, the maximum elongation is an elongation rate when the measurement target portion is stretched to a length that prevents the portion to be stretched further (the length immediately before material breakage), and is obtained by the following formula (1).
Maximum elongation (%) = {(length after stretching−length before stretching) / length before stretching)} × 100% (1)
The maximum elongation is measured according to the following procedure. In the natural state (elastic member contraction state) of the part to be measured (elastic member arrangement region) in the absorbent article, a mark with an interval of 50 mm is attached to the center of the length direction of one elastic member, and this is extended. The previous length. Subsequently, this measurement object part is extended in the length direction of the elastic member, and the interval between the marks is measured to obtain the length after extension. The maximum elongation is calculated by substituting the measured value into the formula (1). You may use for a measurement the thing which cut out the measuring object part from the absorbent article as a measurement sample. As shown in FIG. 4, the maximum elongation E3 of the three-dimensional gather is the maximum elongation by the elastic member 52 (an elastic member closer to the wearer's skin than the absorbent main body 2) disposed at the free end 50 of the three-dimensional gather 5. Means degrees. Therefore, for example, when measuring the maximum elongation E3 of the three-dimensional gather 5 shown in FIG. 4, the measurement is performed so as to eliminate the influence of the elastic member 53 disposed on the side of the absorbent main body 2. Measure after removing 53.

  The magnitude relationship of E1 <E3 <E2 is established for the maximum elongation E1 of the waist corresponding parts 340, 350, the maximum elongation E2 of the lower waist corresponding parts 341, 351, and the maximum elongation E3 of the three-dimensional gather 5 in the separation region 1D. Therefore, the diaper 1 is excellent in fit and wearing feeling. In particular, the waist corresponding portions 340 and 350 are the side seal portion S and the vicinity thereof, and are portions that are hard and uncomfortable compared to the other portions, but have a maximum elongation E1 compared to the other two portions. Since the contraction force of the waist corresponding portions 340 and 350 is moderately suppressed, the side seal portion S is prevented from strongly hitting the outer surface of the thigh of the wearer of the diaper 1, and the wearer feels uncomfortable. It is hard to give, and a feeling of wear improves.

  In addition, the maximum elongation E2 of the lower waist corresponding parts 341, 351 is larger than the other two parts, so that the mobility of the absorbent main body 2 is improved, and the absorbent main body 2 is improved by the wearer of the diaper 1. While it becomes easy to follow the movement of the body, the absorbent main body 2 (absorbent body 23) is not excessively contracted, the wearing feeling is improved, and the decrease in absorbency is effectively prevented. Further, for example, when the wearer of the diaper 1 walks or sits down, the maximum elongation E2 of the lower waist corresponding parts 341 and 351 is increased when the wearer's buttocks skin becomes deeper. Since it is larger than the maximum elongation E1 of 340, 350, the lower waist corresponding part 341, 351 has a stronger contracting force than the waist corresponding part 340, 350, so the diaper 1 against the expansion and contraction of the skin of this buttocks. Can fully fit, and an excellent feeling of wear is obtained.

  In addition, since the maximum elongation E3 of the three-dimensional gather 5 in the separation region 1D is smaller than the maximum elongation E2 of the lower waist corresponding portions 341 and 351, the diaper 1 is prevented from being excessively contracted in the longitudinal direction X. Therefore, generation | occurrence | production of the wrinkles along the horizontal direction Y is prevented, and while a feeling of wear improves, the fall of absorption capacity is prevented effectively.

  In the diaper 1 of the present embodiment, as described above, the front leg elastic member 34 and the rear leg elastic member 35 are spaced apart from each other in the longitudinal direction X to form a separation region 1D. Since the area 1D overlaps with the arrangement area of the absorbent main body 2, it is configured as if the absorbent main body 2 is supported at two positions in the longitudinal direction X, thereby the absorbent main body 2 The mobility is improved. Therefore, the diaper 1 of this embodiment can exhibit the outstanding wearing feeling and absorption performance combined with the effect by the relationship of E1 <E3 <E2 mentioned above.

From the viewpoint of ensuring the above-described effects, the ratio of the maximum elongation E1 and the maximum elongation E3 (E1 / E3) is preferably 0.5 or more, more preferably 0.6 or more, And preferably it is less than 1.0, More preferably, it is 0.9 or less, More specifically, Preferably it is 0.5 or more and less than 1.0, More preferably, it is 0.6 or more and 0.9 or less.

  The waist corresponding part 340 of the front leg elastic member 34 and the waist corresponding part 350 of the rear leg elastic member 35 may be the same or different from each other, but are usually the same. The relationship between the lower waist corresponding portion 341 of the front leg elastic member 34 and the lower waist corresponding portion 351 of the rear leg elastic member 35 is also the same.

Further, from the viewpoint of further improving the fit of the diaper 1, the total length L1 of the length in the longitudinal direction X of the lower waist corresponding portion 341 of the front body F and the length in the longitudinal direction X of the lower waist corresponding portion 351 of the rear body R is The distance L is preferably longer than the length L2 in the vertical direction X of the separation region 1D.

  Regarding the maximum elongations E1, E2, and E3 of the elastic member arrangement regions in the three specific locations (the waist corresponding portions 340 and 350, the lower waist corresponding portions 341 and 351, and the three-dimensional gather 5 in the separation region 1D) in the diaper 1 described above, In order to establish the magnitude relationship of E1 <E3 <E2, it is necessary to appropriately control the arrangement form of the elastic members, the basis weight (number of sheets) of the sheets constituting the region, and the like. Examples of a method of reducing the maximum elongation of a predetermined region in the absorbent article, that is, reducing the stretchability of the predetermined region (making it difficult to stretch) include, for example, an elastic member and a sheet material (outer layer sheet 31, inner layer sheet) in the region. 32), a method of increasing the application amount (basis weight) of the adhesive, the basis weight (number of sheets) of the sheet material, and the like. In the case of improving the maximum elongation of the predetermined region in the absorbent article, the number of fixing points between the elastic member and the sheet material may be reduced contrary to the above method.

  In particular, the leg elastic members 34 and 35 are continuous from the waist corresponding portions 340 and 350 to the lower waist corresponding portions 341 and 351, and the elasticity of the elastic members 34 and 35 itself is basically the same regardless of the arrangement location. Therefore, in order to vary the stretchability of the elastic members 34 and 35 depending on the arrangement location, it is necessary to appropriately adjust the adhesive for fixing the elastic member 34 and the surrounding sheet material as in the above method. There is.

  On the other hand, since the three-dimensional gather 5 is a separate member from the waist corresponding portions 340 and 350 and the lower waist corresponding portions 341 and 351, the elastic members 52 constituting the three-dimensional gather 5 are elastic with the leg elastic members 34 and 35. By using different ones, the maximum elongation E3 of the three-dimensional gather 5 in the separation region 1D can be made different from the maximum elongations E1 and E2 of the other two portions. Specifically, as the leg elastic members 34 and 35, a method using a member having a larger cross-sectional area than the elastic member 52 for forming a three-dimensional gather can be used. The thread-like or belt-like elastic members 34 and 35 having a relatively large cross-sectional area (thickness) are expanded and contracted as compared with the thread-like or belt-like elastic member 52 having a relatively small cross-sectional area (thin thickness). If the arrangement of the elastic members 34, 35, 52 (the amount of adhesive applied, the basis weight of the sheet material, etc.) is the same, the waist part where the elastic members 34, 35 are disposed The maximum elongations E1 and E2 of the corresponding portions 340 and 350 and the lower waist corresponding portions 341 and 351 are smaller than the maximum elongation E3 of the three-dimensional gather 5 in the separation region 1D where the elastic member 52 is disposed (E1, E2 < E3). Based on this maximum elongation relationship, the size relationship of E1 <E3 <E2 can be obtained by appropriately adjusting the arrangement of the elastic members.

  In the diaper 1 of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, in the waist corresponding portions 340 and 350, the leg elastic members 34 and 35 are the outer layer sheet 31 (the ventral outer layer sheet 31 </ b> A or the back outer layer sheet 31 </ b> C) and It is being fixed to both the inner layer sheets 32 with the adhesive agent. In FIG. 3, reference numeral 6 denotes an adhesive. In the waist corresponding part 340, the front leg elastic member 34 is fixed to the skin facing surface of the abdominal outer layer sheet 31 </ b> A by the adhesive 6, and in the waist corresponding part 350, The elastic member 35 is fixed to the skin facing surface of the back outer layer sheet 31 </ b> C by the adhesive 6. Although not shown, an adhesive is also applied to the non-skin facing surface of the inner layer sheet 32, and the leg elastic members 34 and 35 are also applied to the non-skin facing surface at the waist corresponding portions 340 and 350 by the adhesive. It is fixed.

  On the other hand, in the lower back corresponding parts 341 and 351, the leg elastic members 34 and 35 are fixed to only one of the inner layer sheet 32 and the outer layer sheet 31 (the crotch outer layer sheet 31B) with an adhesive. In the present embodiment, the leg elastic members 34 and 35 are fixed to the non-skin facing surface of the inner layer sheet 32 by an adhesive, but are not fixed to the outer layer sheet 31 (the crotch outer layer sheet 31B). That is, in the waist lower part corresponding parts 341 and 351, the leg elastic members 34 and 35 and the skin facing surface of the sheet 31B are not joined, and the two are separated without being in close contact with each other while the diaper 1 is worn. There may be cases.

  In this manner, the waist corresponding parts 340, 350 and the lower waist corresponding parts 341, 351 are different in the fixing locations (fixed areas) of the leg elastic members 34, 35 with the sheet material, and the waist corresponding parts 340, 350 By relatively increasing the number of fixing points, it is possible to make the maximum elongation E1 of the waist corresponding portions 340 and 350 smaller than the maximum elongation E2 of the lower waist corresponding portions 341 and 351 (E1 <E2). Become.

As an adhesive (adhesive 6) for fixing the elastic members 34 and 35 to the sheet material, for example, a hot melt adhesive can be used. Further, in the waist corresponding portions 340, 350 having a maximum elongation smaller than the other two portions, that is, relatively low stretchability and difficult to extend, an adhesive (preferably a hot-melt adhesive) is used as an outer layer. It is applied to the entire area of the surface facing the leg elastic members 34, 35 in at least one of the sheet 31 (the ventral outer layer sheet 31 </ b> A or the back outer sheet 31 </ b> C) and the inner layer sheet 32, that is, so-called solid coating. Is preferred. By doing so, the above-described maximum elongation magnitude relationship E1 <E3 <E2 is more easily established. Thus, when apply | coating an adhesive agent solidly, the application amount of the adhesive agent in the outer layer sheet 31 or the inner layer sheet 32 is preferably 2.0 g / m ² or more, more preferably 3.0 g / m ^{2 in} terms of solid content. Above, and preferably 8.0 g / m ² or less, more preferably 7.0 g / m ² or less, more specifically, preferably 2.0 g / m ² or more and 8.0 g / m ² or less, more preferably Is 3.0 g / m ² or more and 7.0 g / m ² or less.

  In the present embodiment, the outer layer sheet 31 is different between the waist corresponding parts 340 and 350 and the lower waist corresponding parts 341 and 351, and the waist corresponding parts 340 and 350 include the outer layer sheets 31A and 31C having elasticity. The waist lower part corresponding portions 341 and 351 include a non-stretchable outer layer sheet 31B. For example, as the outer layer sheets 31A and 31C, a non-woven fabric (composite sheet) having a laminated multilayer structure as shown in FIG. ) And a non-woven fabric (single layer sheet) having a single layer structure is used as the outer layer sheet 31B, the elasticity of the elastic members arranged in the outer layer sheets 31A and 31C (composite sheets) is the outer layer sheet 31B. Since it is lower than that in the (single-layer sheet), the above-described maximum elongation magnitude relationship E1 <E3 <E2, especially E1 <E2 is established more reliably. It becomes easier. That is, the outer layer sheet 31 (abdominal side outer layer sheet 31A, back side outer layer sheet 31C) constituting the waist corresponding parts 340, 350 is composed of two fiber sheets and an elastic member (elastic filament) interposed between the two sheets. It is preferable that it is comprised including these. Further, by arranging the overlapping portions of the outer layer sheets 31A, 31C and the outer layer sheet 31B in the waist corresponding portions 340, 350, E1 <E2 can be more reliably established.

As mentioned above, although this invention was demonstrated based on the preferable embodiment, this invention is not restrict | limited to the said embodiment. For example, in the above-described embodiment, the outer layer sheet 31 is configured by combining a plurality of sheets. However, similarly to the inner layer sheet 32, the outer layer sheet 31 may be configured by one continuous sheet.
Moreover, the exterior body 3 is divided | segmented into the exterior body ventral region located in a ventral side part, and the exterior body back side area | region located in a back side part, The absorptive main body 2 is the said exterior body ventral region, It may be bridged and fixed to the exterior body back side field.
