The absorbent article packaging body according to the present invention includes an absorbent article that is a sanitary napkin, a panty liner (corimono sheet), or an absorbent pad, and a packaging material for packaging the absorbent article. In the following embodiments, the absorbent article will be described as a sanitary napkin.

<< Basic configuration of sanitary napkin 1 >>
FIG. 1 is a plan view of a sanitary napkin 1 (hereinafter also referred to as “napkin”) as viewed from the skin side. The napkin 1 has a front-rear direction (longitudinal direction), a lateral direction, and a thickness direction that are orthogonal to each other. In the front-rear direction, the side that becomes the belly side of the wearer is the front side, and the side that becomes the back side of the wearer is the rear side. The side in contact with the wearer in the thickness direction is the skin side, and the opposite side is the non-skin side.

  The napkin 1 includes an absorbent body 2 that absorbs excreted liquid, a liquid-permeable top sheet 3 that is disposed on the skin side of the absorbent body 2, and a liquid-impermeable film that is disposed on the non-skin side of the absorbent body 2. The back sheet 4 is provided. Examples of the absorbent body 2 include a liquid absorbent fiber such as pulp fiber containing a superabsorbent polymer (so-called SAP) and formed into a predetermined shape.

  Further, the napkin 1 has a pair of wings 5 extending outward in the lateral direction at a substantially central portion in the front-rear direction (specifically, an excretion opening contact portion that contacts the excretion opening of the wearer). As shown in FIG. 1, the area of the napkin 1 where the wing portion 5 is located in the front-rear direction is a central area 1B, the area of the napkin 1 on the front side of the central area 1B is the front area 1A, and the rear side of the central area 1B The region of the napkin 1 is defined as a rear region 1C.

  Moreover, the napkin 1 has the compression recessed part 7 (recessed part) in which at least one of the absorber 2 and the top sheet 3 (skin side sheet | seat) became depressed in the thickness direction. In this embodiment, the top sheet 3 and the absorber 2 are compressed in the thickness direction from the skin side surface of the top sheet 3, and the top sheet 3 and the absorber 2 are joined and integrated. The compression recess 7 can prevent the absorber 2 from being out of shape and can improve the liquid diffusibility of the absorber 2.

  The compression recess 7 is configured by a large number of point-like compression portions 8 arranged in a line at intervals on the outer peripheral edge of the absorbent body 2, and as a whole has a substantially annular shape that is long in the front-rear direction. ing. Further, the compression recess 7 of the present embodiment has an animal shape (a cat in FIG. 1). That is, in the napkin 1 of the present embodiment, the “animal symbol 32” that is visible from the skin side of the napkin 1 is formed by the compression recess 7. However, the compression recessed part 7 should just be visually recognized from the skin side of the napkin 1, for example, only the absorber 2 may be compressed and the animal design may be formed. Moreover, you may provide an animal design by embossing only the top sheet 3. FIG. Moreover, you may compress from the back seat | sheet 4 side.

In addition, in the compression recessed part 7, the thickness of the absorber 2 is thin compared with the circumference | surroundings, and the density is high. These comparisons may be performed by a known method. As a comparison of the thickness of the absorbent body 2, a dial thickness gauge ID-C1012C manufactured by Mitutoyo Co., Ltd. or an equivalent thereof is used. The method of comparing can be illustrated. As a comparison of the density of the absorbent body 2, the target site is cut out from the napkin 1 as a sample, the mass and area of the sample are measured, and the mass per unit area (g / g) obtained by dividing the mass of the sample by the area. A method of comparing the value (g / m ³ ) obtained by dividing m ² ) by the thickness (m) obtained by the above method can be exemplified.

  Moreover, the structure of the napkin 1 shown in FIG. 1 is an example, and is not limited to this. For example, a napkin that does not have a wing portion may be used. In that case, let the area | region from the front end of a napkin to 1/3 length of the full length in the front-back direction of the napkin 1 be a front area | region. Further, for example, it may be a napkin or the like that has a pair of side sheets that extend from both sides in the short direction of the top sheet to the outside in the short direction and forms a wing portion by the side sheet and the back sheet.

  Furthermore, the package 40 of the present embodiment has a window portion 41 having transparency on the front surface 40A. A part of the individual package 20 can be visually recognized from the outside of the package 40 by the window 41. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 7A and 7B, the animal pattern 31 is arranged in the first fold portion 211 in the fold portion 21 of the individual package 20 as compared to the second fold portion 212. The area is large. Therefore, the individual package 20 is arranged in the package 40 such that the first folding portion 211 faces the window 41 of the front surface 40 </ b> A of the package 40.

  Therefore, as shown in FIG. 8, at least a part of the animal symbol 31 located in the first folding portion 211 of the individual package 20 can be visually recognized from the window portion 41 of the package 40. And the up-down direction of the animal pattern 31 of the individual package 20 (first folding part 211) visually recognized from the window 41 of the package 40 is aligned with the up-down direction of the package 40.

  Similarly in this case, the subconsciousness of the user who sees the state in which the up-down direction of the animal design 31 of the individual package 20 viewed from the window 41 is aligned with the up-down direction of the package 40 includes the animal design 31 and its The vertical direction is imprinted. Therefore, the user who has seen the animal design 32 of the napkin 1 that is the same type as the animal design 31 of the individual packaging body 20 in the state where the individual packaging body 20 is opened and unfolded to attach the napkin 1 (FIG. 4). Is likely to recognize that the animal symbol 32 has a vertical direction, and that the vertical direction of the animal symbol 32 corresponds to the front-rear direction of the napkin 1. Therefore, even a user unfamiliar with the use of the napkin 1 can be guided to wear the napkin 1 in the correct front-rear direction.

  Further, when characters such as “arrow” and “front side” indicating the front-rear direction of the napkin 1 are provided on the napkin 1 instead of the animal pattern 32, the napkin 1 is easily attached in the correct front-rear direction. However, in the case of the direct expression indicating the direction as described above, a pressure is given to the user that it is necessary to check the front and rear direction of the napkin 1 and attach it. In particular, since the napkin 1 is mounted in a relatively dark and narrow toilet room, it is troublesome for the user to confirm the direction of the napkin 1.

  On the other hand, in this embodiment, the front-rear direction of the napkin 1 is suggested to the user based on the vertical direction of the package 40, the individual package 20, and the animal symbols 35, 31, 32 of the napkin 1. For this reason, the user can naturally guide the user to wear the napkin 1 in the correct front-rear direction. Therefore, the pressure and trouble for the user to confirm the front-rear direction of the napkin 1 can be reduced, and the napkin 1 can be mounted in a short time. For example, female elementary, junior high, and high school students who are unfamiliar with the use of the napkin 1 often change the napkin 1 within a predetermined time such as school holidays. Therefore, the napkin 1 that can be mounted in a short time as in the present embodiment is suitable.

  Moreover, the individual package 20 becomes a lovely design by adopting the animal design as the design indicating the front-rear direction of the napkin 1. Therefore, the depressed mood of female elementary, middle and high school students during menstruation can be eased.

  It is preferable that both the animal symbol 35 on the outer surface of the package 40 and the animal symbol 31 of the individual package 20 through the window 41 are visible from the outside of the package 40, but only one of them is visible. It may be visible. That is, the form which has the animal design 35 on the outer surface of the package 40 but does not have the window part 41 may be used, or the form which has the window part 41 but does not have the animal design 35 on the outer surface of the package 40 may be used. Moreover, although the animal design 35 on the outer surface of the package 40 is included, the individual package 20 (packaging material 10) may not have the animal design 31.

  In addition, the animal symbol 35 on the outer surface of the package 40 and the window 41 that allows the animal symbol 31 of the individual package 20 to be visually recognized may be provided on different surfaces of the package 40. It may be provided on the front surface 40 </ b> A of the package 40. By doing so, the animal symbol 35 of the package 40 and the animal symbol 31 of the individual package 20 are easily noticed by the user, and are imprinted by the subconscious of the user.

  The animal designs 35, 31, 32 of the package 40, the individual package 20, and the napkin 1 may be any design that allows the user who sees them to know the vertical direction of the animal. For example, it is not limited to a cat, and may be another animal such as a bear or a rabbit. Moreover, not only the silhouette of an animal but the pattern in which a facial expression (eyes, nose, etc.) was drawn may be sufficient. Moreover, it is not limited to having a head and a torso, but may be a design with only the head (for example, see FIG. 11A described later).

  In addition, the animal designs 35 and 31 of the package 40 and the individual package 20 are the same kind of animals as the animal designs 32 of the napkin 1. For example, the animal designs 35, 31 and 32 may be cat designs. What is necessary is just and it is not limited to what is the same shape or a similar shape, A different shape may be sufficient.

  Moreover, in a general napkin, a compression recessed part is formed in order to prevent the absorber from being deformed. By forming the animal design 32 by the compression recess 7, the manufacturing process of the napkin 1 can be facilitated and the cost can be reduced as compared with the case where the animal design is provided on the napkin 1 by printing or the like separately from the compression recess 7. Can be planned. Further, the surface of the napkin is generally white, but the compression recess 7 can express the animal pattern 32 with a three-dimensional shadow or the density of absorbent fibers. Therefore, the animal design 32 can be expressed without using ink or the like or by reducing the amount used.

  Moreover, the animal design 32 formed by the compression recess 7 is visible even after the excretion fluid is absorbed. Therefore, even after using the napkin 1, the user can confirm whether the napkin 1 has been worn in the correct front-rear direction based on the vertical direction of the animal pattern 32 of the napkin 1.

  Further, in the folding position FL2 of the napkin 1 (see FIG. 5A), the absorbent body 2 is divided into three equal parts in the width direction and divided into the left side area, the central area, and the right side area. A pair of extended pressing parts 324 and 325 may be provided. In the present embodiment, a pair of pressing portions 324 and 325 extending in the longitudinal direction are provided in the rear region 1C of the napkin 1 and in the right region of the absorbent body 2. The pair of squeezed portions 324 and 325 represents the tail of the cat.

  Thus, by providing the pair of pressing parts 324 and 325 in the region of the absorbent body 2 that is narrow in the width direction, the rigidity of the absorbent body 2 is increased, and the kink and collapse of the absorbent body 2 can be suppressed. In particular, in the rear region 1C of the napkin 1 that abuts the wearer's buttocks, the absorbent body 2 is liable to move due to the movement of the buttocks, but the shape of the tail portion of the cat by the pair of compressed portions 324 and 325 even after use of the napkin 1 Is easy to maintain. After the napkin 1 is used, the shape of the cat's tail is maintained, so that the design of the entire cat can be easily seen.

Further, as shown in FIG. 1, the outer shape of the napkin 1 of the present embodiment is a symmetrical shape in the front-rear direction of the napkin 1. However, the basis weight (g / m ² ) of the absorbent body 2 is asymmetric in the front-rear direction of the napkin 1. If demonstrating it concretely, the absorber 2 has 2 A of high basic weight areas in the center part, and has the low basic weight area | region 2B around 2 A of high basic weight areas. However, the high basis weight region 2A is disposed closer to the front side with respect to the center line CL1 that bisects the napkin 1 in the front-rear direction. By doing so, the absorption capacity of the front side where a wearer's excretion opening is located increases.

  Thus, at least one of the shape and the basis weight of the absorbent body 2 may be asymmetric in the front-rear direction of the napkin 1 in order to improve functions such as absorbability of the napkin 1. That is, the appearance of the napkin 1 is symmetric in the front-rear direction, but the absorbent body 2 that is not visible from the appearance of the napkin 1 may be asymmetric in the front-rear direction. In this case, it is difficult for the user to recognize the front-rear direction of the napkin 1, and the user can easily wear the napkin 1 in the wrong front-rear direction. Therefore, the adoption of the present invention is more effective.

In addition, it is good to compare the basic weight (mass per unit area) of the absorber 2 by a known method. For example, the target site may be cut out from the napkin 1 as a sample, the mass and area of the sample may be measured, and the values obtained by dividing the mass of the sample by the area (g / m ² ) may be compared. Moreover, you may compare based on the cross section which cut the napkin 1 along the front-back direction.

  Next, the size of the animal symbol 31 of the individual package 20 that is visible from the window 41 of the package 40 will be described. That is, it is the size of the animal symbol 31 visible from the outer surface 102 side of the packaging material 10. Therefore, it demonstrates using FIG. 2 which shows the state which the packaging material 10 is expand | deployed as a magnitude | size of the animal design 31 in the state which opened and expanded the individual packaging body 20. FIG.

  In the present embodiment, the animal symbols 31 of the packaging material 10 are all the same size. However, when the size of the animal design 31 of the packaging material 10 is different, the size of the animal design 31 visually recognized from the window portion 41 may be the following size.

  First, as shown in FIG. 8, the maximum length L2 of the window portion 41 in the vertical direction of the package 40 is the length in the vertical direction of the animal pattern 31 of the individual package 20 in a state where the individual package 20 is opened and expanded. It is preferable that it is more than L1 (refer FIG. 2) (L2> = L1).

  By doing so, the animal symbol 31 of the individual package 20 that is not missing in the vertical direction and the small animal symbol 31 that is lacking in the vertical direction are visible from the window 41 of the package 40. Therefore, it is easy for the user who has seen the package 40 to recognize the animal symbol 31 of the individual package 20 and its vertical direction, and the vertical direction of the animal symbol 31 of the individual package 20 is aligned with the vertical direction of the package 40. , Imprinted on the user's subconscious. Therefore, the user who sees the animal pattern 32 of the napkin 1 can easily wear the napkin 1 in the correct front-rear direction based on the vertical direction.

  In the state where the individual package 20 is opened and unfolded, the animal symbol 31 is arranged with a space in the vertical direction of the animal symbol 31 as shown in FIG. A row of animal symbols 31 arranged in a match (overlapping) is arranged in the width direction of the animal symbol 30. In the row of animal symbols 30, the length in the vertical direction from the upper end of a certain animal symbol (first animal symbol) 31a to the upper end of the lower animal symbol (second animal symbol) 31b is L3. This length L3 is the length in the vertical direction from the upper end of a certain animal symbol 31 arranged at the folding part 21 of the individual package 20 to the upper end of the animal symbol 31 below. Therefore, the maximum length L2 of the window portion 41 in the vertical direction of the package 40 is preferably equal to or longer than the length L3 (L2 ≧ L3).

  By doing so, at least a part of the animal design 31 is arranged at the portion of the folding portion 21 of the individual package 20 facing the window portion 41, and the plurality of animal designs 31 are easily arranged in the vertical direction. Become. Therefore, the animal symbol 31 of the individual package 20 is visually recognized from the window portion 41 of the package 40, and the state in which the vertical direction of the animal symbol 31 is aligned with the vertical direction of the package 40 is easily imprinted on the user's subconscious. Therefore, the user who sees the animal pattern 32 of the napkin 1 can easily wear the napkin 1 in the correct front-rear direction based on the vertical direction.

  In addition, the thickness W3 of the individual package 20 in the state of being included in the package 40 is 1 / W of the length W1 (see FIG. 2) in the width direction of the animal symbol 31 in a state in which the individual package 20 is opened and expanded. It is preferably 2 or more (W3 ≧ W1 / 2). More preferably, the thickness W3 of the individual package 20 in the state of being included in the package 40 is preferably not less than the length W1 in the width direction of the animal symbol 31 in a state where the individual package 20 is opened and developed. (W3 ≧ W1).

  By doing so, an animal design 31 that is not missing in the width direction and a small animal design 31 that is missing in the width direction are arranged at the site of the folded portion 21 of the individual package 20 facing the window portion 41, and Visible from the window 41 of the package 40. Therefore, it is easy for the user who has seen the package 40 to recognize the animal symbol 31 of the individual package 20 and its vertical direction, and the vertical direction of the animal symbol 31 of the individual package 20 is aligned with the vertical direction of the package 40. , Imprinted on the user's subconscious. Therefore, the user who sees the animal pattern 32 of the napkin 1 can easily wear the napkin 1 in the correct front-rear direction based on the vertical direction.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 2, the individual wrapping body 20 has an arrangement area A1 in which the animal symbol 31 is arranged and a non-arrangement area A2 in which the animal symbol 31 is not arranged in an unpacked and unfolded state. The animal pattern 31 is alternately provided in the width direction. Therefore, it is preferable that the thickness W3 of the individual package 20 in the state of being included in the package 40 is larger than the width W4 of the non-arranged region A2 in a state where the individual package 20 is opened and expanded (W3> W4). .

  By doing so, at least a part of the arrangement area A1 of the animal symbol 31 is located at the portion of the folding part 21 of the individual package 20 facing the window part 41. Therefore, the animal symbol 31 of the individual package 20 is visually recognized from the window portion 41 of the package 40, and the state in which the vertical direction of the animal symbol 31 is aligned with the vertical direction of the package 40 is easily imprinted on the user's subconscious. Therefore, the user who sees the animal pattern 32 of the napkin 1 can easily wear the napkin 1 in the correct front-rear direction based on the vertical direction.

  In the present embodiment, the widths of the placement area A1 and the non-placement area A2 are all constant. However, if it is not constant, the thickness W3 of the individual package 20 contained in the package 40 may be larger than the width W4 of the minimum non-arrangement region A2, more preferably the maximum non-arrangement region A2. It is good that it is larger than the width W4.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 8, the individual packaging bodies 20 are arranged in the thickness direction in the package 40. At least a part of the animal symbol 31 (31c, 31d) located in the folding part 21 of each individual wrapper 20 adjacent in the thickness direction of the individual wrapper 20 is arranged so as to be shifted in the vertical direction of the animal symbol 31. Is preferred.

  If the vertical positions of the animal symbols 31 of the individual individual packaging bodies 20 that are adjacent to each other completely coincide with each other, the outline of the animal symbol 31 is difficult to understand and the animal symbol 31 is not easily recognized by the user. Therefore, by shifting the animal design 31 as described above, the user who viewed the package 40 can easily recognize the animal design 31 of the individual package 20 and the vertical direction thereof, and the vertical direction of the animal design 31 of the individual package 20. Is in the subordinate sense of the user. Therefore, the user who sees the animal pattern 32 of the napkin 1 can easily wear the napkin 1 in the correct front-rear direction based on the vertical direction.

  Note that the thickness W3 of the individual package 20 in the state of being included in the package 40 may be measured by a known method. For example, the thickness of the individual package 20 that is visible from the window 41 of the package 40 may be measured using a ruler or the like. In the case of the package 40 that does not have the window portion 41, for example, the length of the package 40 in the horizontal direction is measured, the thickness of the package 40 (bag) is subtracted from the measured value, and the value is individually wrapped. It may be divided by the number of bodies 20 arranged.

  Moreover, in this embodiment, the animal symbol 31 that can be visually recognized from the outside of the individual package 20 and the animal symbol 35 of the package 40 are configured in black (cat region) and pink (ribbon region). Thus, it is preferable that the animal designs 31 and 35 have a color different from black and black. Moreover, the animal designs 31 and 35 may have opposite colors. For example, the animal design may be composed of a green color and a red color that is the opposite color.

  By doing so, in the package 40, the animal symbol 35 on the outer surface and the animal symbol 31 of the individual package 20 are conspicuous, and the animal symbol 35, 31 is easily recognized by the user who has seen the appearance of the package 40. Therefore, the state in which the vertical direction of the animal symbols 35 and 31 of the package 40 and the individual package 20 is aligned with the vertical direction of the package 40 is easily imprinted on the user's subconscious.

In addition, colored shall be colors other than colorless and transparent and white. White means, for example, a color difference from pure white in addition to a color represented by “N9.5” in the Munsell color system or a color represented by “255, 255, 255” in the RGB color space (so-called pure white). Colors with a value of less than 12 are also included in white.
The color different from black is, for example, a color having a color difference of 13 or more from black. In addition, the color name shown in the color sample (for example, Appendix Table 1 of Japanese Industrial Standards JIS Z8102: 2001) may be a color that is not black.
In addition, the opposite colors are, for example, colors that are in opposite positions (complementary colors) in the Ostwald hue ring, or colors that are located next to a certain color and the opposite position of a certain color.

<< About Modifications >>
9A and 9B are explanatory diagrams when the orientation of the animal symbol 31 of the individual package 20 is different. FIG. 9A is a plan view of the individual package 20, and FIG. 9B is a diagram showing the window 41 of the package 40. As shown in FIG. 9A, the animal pattern 31 is aligned in the vertical direction of the individual packaging body 20 (longitudinal direction of the packaging material 10), and the animal is arranged in the lateral direction of the individual packaging body 20 (short direction of the packaging material 10). The width direction of the pattern 31 may be aligned. That is, the vertical direction of the animal symbol 31 does not have to be aligned in the direction in which the folded portion 21 of the individual package 20 extends.

  In this case, as shown in FIG. 9B, the individual package 20 may be included in the package 40 so that the lateral direction thereof is aligned with the depth direction of the package 40. Furthermore, it is good to provide the window part 41 which can visually recognize the plane (for example, surface shown to FIG. 9A) of the individual package 20 in the side surface 40B of the package 40. FIG. By doing so, the up-down direction of the animal design 31 of the individual package 20 viewed from the window 41 on the side surface 40B of the package 40 can be aligned with the up-down direction of the package 40. Therefore, a user who has imprinted the state of FIG. 9B easily attaches the napkin 1 in the correct front-rear direction based on the vertical direction of the animal symbol 32 of the napkin 1.

  10A and 10B are explanatory diagrams of a modification of the package 40. FIG. The package 40 does not have to have the same animal design 35 as the animal design 32 of the napkin 1 and does not have to have the window portion 41. In that case, in a state where the individual package 20 is included in the package 40, the animal design 31 included in the individual package 20 may be aligned in the vertical direction of the package 40.

  For example, it is assumed that a cut line 43a for taking out the individual package 20 from the package 40 is provided on the upper surface 40C (see FIG. 6) of the package 40. In this case, as shown in FIG. 10A, when the individual package 20 is taken out from the package 40, the user is in a state where the vertical direction of the animal design 31 of the individual package 20 is aligned with the vertical direction of the package 40. Can be visually recognized.

  For example, it is assumed that the cut line 43b is provided on the side surface 40B of the package 40. In this case, as shown in FIG. 10B, when the package 40 is opened, the user can visually recognize a state where the vertical direction of the animal symbol 31 of the individual package 20 is aligned with the vertical direction of the package 40. The user whose state is imprinted in the subconscious becomes easy to wear the napkin 1 in the correct front-rear direction based on the vertical direction of the animal pattern 32 of the napkin 1.

FIG. 11A to FIG. 11D are explanatory diagrams of modified examples of the individual package 20.
The napkin 1 (FIG. 1) included in the individual package 20 has one animal symbol 32 that covers a wide range in the front-rear direction of the napkin 1, but is not limited thereto. For example, as shown in FIG. 11A, a plurality (or one) of small animal symbols 33 may be provided on a part of the napkin 1.

  In addition, the animal pattern 32 of the napkin 1 is not limited to being formed by the compression recess 7 in which the top sheet 3 and the absorbent body 2 are compressed. For example, as shown in FIG. 11B, the animal symbol 34 of the napkin 1 may be formed by the pattern of the welded portions 1D formed on both side portions of the napkin 1 in the width direction. Moreover, you may print an animal design on the skin side surface of the napkin 1.

  Further, the animal symbol 31 that is visible from the outside of the individual package 20 is not limited to being provided on the packaging material 10. For example, as shown in FIG. 11C, an animal design 31 may be provided on the back sheet 4 of the napkin 1 to which the adhesive portion 9 for preventing slippage is applied. Moreover, for example, as shown in FIG. 11D, an animal symbol 31 may be provided on the release sheet 13 that covers the adhesive portion 9 for preventing the napkin 1 from slipping.

  FIG. 12 is an explanatory diagram of a modified example of the animal design 31 of the packaging material 10. Although the packaging material 10 shown in FIG. 2 has the non-arrangement area | region A2 in which the animal design 31 is not arrange | positioned, it is not restricted to this. For example, as shown in FIG. 12, in a state where the individual package 20 (packaging material 10) is opened and developed, the plurality of animal symbols 31 are arranged side by side in the width direction and the vertical direction of the animal symbol 31. And the animal symbols 31e and 31f adjacent in the vertical direction may be arranged so as to be shifted in the width direction and have an overlapping portion A3 in the width direction.

  In this case, the packaging material 10 has the animal design 32 disposed over the entire width direction of the animal design 32 (in FIG. 12, the longitudinal direction of the packaging material 10), and has no non-arrangement region. Therefore, at least a part of the animal symbol 31 is arranged in the folding part 21 of the individual package 20 facing the window part 41 of the package 40. Therefore, the animal symbol 31 of the individual package 20 is visually recognized from the window 41 of the package 40, and the state in which the vertical direction of the animal symbol 31 is aligned with the vertical direction of the package 40 is imprinted on the user's subconscious. Therefore, the user can easily wear the napkin 1 in the correct front-rear direction based on the vertical direction of the animal symbol 32 of the napkin 1.

  As mentioned above, said embodiment is for making an understanding of this invention easy, and is not for limiting and interpreting this invention.
