A container for absorbent articles, characterized in that at least a portion of the design is printed in the area.

According to the container of such an absorbent article, the symbol formed in the outermost layer is formed by printing the symbol so as to overlap with at least a part of the region where the Beck smoothness is less than 20 seconds. It will look like it has been rubbed. As a result, it is possible to easily remind the user of the texture and soft image of the accommodating member and the absorbent article contained therein.

It is desirable that the design of the container of the absorbent article is made of water-based ink.

According to the container of such an absorbent article, an environment-friendly container can be obtained by using a water-based ink that is safer and has less odor than an oil-based ink using an organic solvent or the like. .. Further, since the outermost layer of the printing medium is made of paper, the water-based ink easily adheres to the printed medium, and even a rubbed pattern can be printed stably.

An accommodating body of such an absorbent article, which has a vertically intersecting vertical direction, a horizontal direction, and a front-rear direction, and the symbol has a first portion and a second portion different from the first portion. It is desirable that the first portion and the second portion have different positions in the front-rear direction.

According to the container of such an absorbent article, the design can be seen three-dimensionally because the positions of the first portion and the second portion in the front-rear direction are different. Therefore, as compared with the case where the design looks flat, the shape of the accommodating member bulging three-dimensionally is emphasized, and it is possible to make it easier for the user to recall the soft image of the accommodating body.

At both ends of the absorbent article accommodating body in the left-right direction, one surface constituting the accommodating member and a surface different from the one surface are adjacent to each other in the front-rear direction and welded. It is desirable that the first portion is arranged at a position that does not overlap with the side seal portion, and the second portion is arranged at a position that overlaps with the side seal portion.

According to such an accommodating body of the absorbent article, the symbol is arranged so as to straddle the flat region overlapping the side seal portion and the curved region not overlapping the side seal portion. It looks more complex and three-dimensional, making it easier for the user to recall the soft image of the enclosure.

It is desirable that the innermost layer, which is at least partially made of resin, is laminated on the back surface side of the outermost layer of the accommodating body of the absorbent article.

According to such an accommodating body of an absorbent article, moisture such as moisture is released from the outside to the inside of the accommodating member by laminating the innermost layer made of highly moisture-proof resin on the back surface side of the outermost layer made of paper. It is possible to suppress entry. In addition, it is possible to prevent the ink constituting the pattern printed on the outermost layer from penetrating from the front side to the back side in the thickness direction and coming into contact with the absorbent article to cause color transfer or the like. As a result, it is possible to easily maintain the quality of the absorbent article contained in the accommodating member in a good state.

It is desirable that the container of the absorbent article has a window portion in which at least a part of the outermost layer is cut out so that the innermost layer is exposed to the surface side.

Become. Since the average value of the dynamic friction coefficient in the innermost layer of the accommodating member is small, the frictional force generated between the innermost layer and the absorbent article can be reduced, and the absorbent article can be taken out smoothly. ..
=== Embodiment ===

<Basic configuration of absorbent article container 1>
As an container for the absorbent article according to the present invention, an embodiment will be described by taking as an example a disposable diaper container 1 (hereinafter, also simply referred to as “container 1”) that houses a disposable diaper. However, the absorbent article accommodated in the accommodating body 1 is not limited to disposable diapers, and may be any as long as it can be accommodated in the accommodating member such as a sanitary napkin, a panty liner, and a light incontinence pad.

FIG. 1 is a front view and a cross-sectional view of the disposable diaper accommodating body 1 (accommodating body 1). The accommodating body 1 has an accommodating member 10 which is a bag-shaped member, and a plurality of absorbent articles 20 (disposable diapers) accommodating inside the accommodating member 10. Further, the accommodating body 1 (accommodating member 10) has a vertical direction, a horizontal direction, and a front-rear direction that intersect each other. The front view of FIG. 1 shows a state in which the housing body 1 is viewed from the front side in the front-rear direction, and the cross-sectional view of FIG. 1 shows the AA cross section of the front view.

As shown in FIG. 1, the accommodating member 10 has a substantially triangular cross section in which the width increases in the front-rear direction from one side (upper side in FIG. 1) to the other side (lower side in FIG. 1) in the vertical direction. (A region shown by a diagonal line in the AA cross section of FIG. 1), and one or more absorbent articles 20 can be accommodated in the accommodation space. A plurality (four in FIG. 1) of the absorbent articles 20 are stacked in the front-rear direction and are accommodated, and can be freely taken in and out from the opening 10E (described later) formed on one side (upper side) of the accommodating member 10 in the vertical direction. Is possible.

(Accommodating member 10)
FIG. 2A is a plan view of the accommodating member 10 when viewed from the front side, and FIG. 2B is a plan view of the accommodating member 10 when viewed from the rear side. 3A is a schematic cross-sectional view showing the BB cross section of FIG. 2A, and FIG. 3B is a schematic cross-sectional view showing the CC cross section of FIG. 2A.

The accommodating member 10 has a front sheet member 11, a rear sheet member 12, a bottom sheet member 13, and a sealing portion 14.

The front sheet member 11 is a laminated sheet member in which a plurality of sheet members are laminated in the thickness direction. In the present embodiment, the outermost layer 11a arranged on the outside in the thickness direction (the front side of the accommodating member 10 and the front side in the front-rear direction in FIG. 3A) and the inside in the thickness direction (the back surface side of the accommodating member 10). In FIG. 3A, it has a two-layer structure in which the innermost layer 11b arranged on the rear side in the front-rear direction is joined. However, the front sheet member 11 may have three or more layers.

At least a part of the outermost layer 11a is made of paper. Here, "paper" is manufactured by sticking plant fibers and the like, and in a broad sense, in addition to synthetic paper manufactured using synthetic polymer substances as materials, paper containing fibrous inorganic materials is also available. It shall include. Since the outermost layer 11a arranged on the outermost side of the housing body 1 is made of a paper material, it is easy for the user to recognize that the housing body 1 is a so-called "de-plasticized" product in which the material derived from petroleum is reduced. , Can give the user an eco-friendly image. Therefore, in the present embodiment, it is desirable that the outermost layer 11a is made of "paper" made of plant fibers such as pulp fibers, and it is desirable that the entire outermost layer 11a is made of paper.

Further, since the outermost layer 11a (10a) is made of a paper material, it becomes easy to give the user a soft image of the paper. Therefore, a user who sees the housing body 1 at a store such as a retail store can easily think that the water-absorbent article 20 (paper diaper, etc.) housed in the storage member 10 is a soft material, and the wearer's skin is affected. It makes it easier to intuitively understand that it is a gentle product. In particular, when the wear target is a newborn baby or an infant with weak skin, the soft image reminiscent of the housing body 1 can give a sense of security to the guardian or the like (user) of the infant.

A predetermined symbol 15 is provided on the surface side (front side in the front-rear direction) of the outermost layer 11a. The symbol 15 is provided to allow the user to visually recognize various information regarding the housing body 1 (absorbent article 20). In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2A, the name (trade name) and features (material used) of the absorbent article 20, a graphic (for example, a picture of cotton) reminiscent of the absorbent article 20, and wearing. Information on the size of the target person and the like is provided as the symbol 15. In addition, various certification marks may be displayed (not shown) as the symbol 15.

At least a part of the innermost layer 11b is made of resin. Here, the "resin" is a synthetic resin made of a polymer compound, and for example, a thermoplastic resin such as polyethylene, polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride, polystyrene, polycarbonate, or polyethylene terephthalate (PET) can be used. Further, the innermost layer 11b is made of a transparent resin, and can be visually recognized from one side (front side) to the other side (back side) at least in the thickness direction. In the present embodiment, in order to make it easier to see the absorbent article 20 housed inside the housing member 10 from the outside of the housing body 1 through the window portion 16 described later, the resin constituting the innermost layer 11b is used. It is desirable that it is colorless and transparent.

Then, the outermost layer 11a and the innermost layer 11b are laminated in the thickness direction as shown in FIG. 3A and joined to each other by an adhesive or the like (indicated by a broken line in FIG. 3A), so that the surface side is made of paper. A front sheet member 11 whose back surface is made of resin is formed.

Further, the front seat member 11 is provided with a window portion 16 in which a part of the outermost layer 11a is cut out. In the window portion 16, the innermost layer 11b is exposed to the outer surface side, and the user can visually recognize the inside of the accommodating member 10 through the window portion 16 from the front side of the accommodating body 1. It has become. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the window portion 16 is continuously provided from one end side to the other end side in the left-right direction. As a result, the absorbent article 20 housed inside the housing member 10 can be easily visually recognized.

The rear seat member 12 has the same configuration as the front seat member 11. That is, the rear sheet member 12 is formed by laminating and joining the outermost layer 12a, which is at least partly made of paper, and the innermost layer 12b, which is at least partly made of resin, in the thickness direction. (See FIG. 3A). Further, the bottom sheet member 13 also has the same configuration as the front side sheet member 11 and the rear side sheet member 12. That is, the bottom sheet member 13 is formed by laminating and joining the outermost layer 13a, which is at least partly made of paper, and the innermost layer 13b, which is at least partly made of resin, in the thickness direction (). See FIG. 3A).

In the present embodiment, the outermost layers 11a, 12a, and 13a are all formed of the same type of sheet member (paper), and hereinafter, these are collectively referred to as the outermost layer 10a. Similarly, the innermost layers 11b, 12b, and 13b are all formed of the same type of sheet member (resin), and these are collectively referred to as the innermost layer 10b.

When forming the accommodating member 10, the innermost layers 11b and 12b of the front seat member 11 and the rear seat member 12 are stacked back and forth so as to face each other. Further, at the lower end portion of the accommodating member 10 in the vertical direction, the bottom sheet member 13 folded in half in the vertical direction so that the outermost layers 13a face each other is between the front seat member 11 and the rear seat member 12 in the front-rear direction. Is placed in. Then, the sheet members adjacent to each other in the front-rear direction (thickness direction) are joined to each other in a predetermined region.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 3A, the innermost layer 11b of the front sheet member 11 and the innermost layer 13b of the bottom sheet member 13 are joined to each other at the lower end portion in the vertical direction. The innermost layer 11b and the innermost layer 13b are joined by using a known welding means such as heat welding. Since the innermost layer 11b and the innermost layer 13b are both resin sheet members and have thermoplasticity, the opposing sheet members can be joined to each other with sufficient strength by using the welding means. .. Similarly, the innermost layer 12b of the rear sheet member 12 and the innermost layer 13b of the bottom sheet member 13 are joined (welded) to each other at the lower end portion in the vertical direction. As a result, the bottom seal portion 18 shown by the wavy line in FIG. 3A is formed. By the bottom seal portion 18, as shown by the shaded portion in FIG. 2, the sheet members 11, 12, and 13 are continuously joined along the left-right direction at the lower end portion of the accommodating member 10 in the vertical direction. It will be in a sealed state.

Further, at the ends in the left-right direction, as shown in FIG. 3B, the innermost layer 11b of the front seat member 11 and the innermost layer 12b of the rear seat member 12 facing each other are joined. The innermost layer 11b and the innermost layer 12b are also joined by using a welding means. Similarly, at the lower end in the vertical direction, the innermost layer 11b of the front seat member 11 and the innermost layer 13b of the bottom sheet member 13 are welded at the end in the left-right direction, and the innermost layer 12b and the bottom surface of the rear seat member 12 are welded. The innermost layer 13b of the sheet member 13 is welded at the end portion in the left-right direction. As a result, the side seal portion 17 shown by the wavy line in FIG. 3B is formed. By the side seal portion 17, as shown by the shaded portion in FIG. 2, the seat members 11, 12, and 13 are continuously joined along the vertical direction at both ends of the accommodating member 10 in the left-right direction. It will be in a sealed state.

At both ends of the accommodating member 10 in the left-right direction and at the lower ends in the up-down direction, the outermost layers 13a and 13a of the bottom sheet members 13 folded in half in the up-down direction are also joined to each other. Since the outermost layer 13a is made of paper, the outermost layers 13a and 13a are joined to each other by bonding with an adhesive (indicated by a broken line in FIG. 3B).

As described above, among the end edge portions of the accommodating member 10, both end portions in the left-right direction and the lower end portions in the up-down direction are continuously locked by the pair of side seal portions 17, 17 and the bottom seal portion 18. On the other hand, of the edge portions of the accommodating member 10, the upper end portions in the vertical direction are not locked. As a result, the accommodating member 10 has an opening 10E (see FIG. 4 described later) on the upper side in the vertical direction, and has a bag shape with the bottom sheet member 13 as the bottom surface.

The opening 10E of the accommodating member 10 can be sealed by the sealing portion 14. The sealing portion 14 is composed of a pair of resin zippers or the like arranged along the left-right direction, and as shown in FIG. 3A, the innermost layer 11b of the front seat member 11 and the innermost layer 12b of the rear seat member 12 And are provided respectively. By pressing and engaging the pair of sealing portions 14, 14 in a state of facing each other in the front-rear direction, the opening 10E is closed and the accommodating space of the accommodating member 10 is sealed (see FIG. 1). Further, the opening 10E is formed again by peeling the sealed portions 14 and 14 in the meshed state to the opposite sides in the front-rear direction. In this way, the opening 10E of the accommodating member 10 can be freely opened and closed by the sealing portion 14.

FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a state when the absorbent article 20 is taken in and out of the accommodating member 10. As shown in FIG. 4, the sealing portion 14 of the accommodating member 10 is peeled off to form an opening 10E on the upper side in the vertical direction, and the absorbent article 20 can be taken out or accommodated from the opening 10E. Then, after the absorbent article 20 is taken out, the sealing portion 14 is resealed and the opening 10E is closed, so that the moisture-proof property in the accommodation space can be maintained.

(Absorbent article 20)
FIG. 5 is a plan view of the absorbent article 20 in a state of being accommodated in the accommodating member 10 when viewed from the front side in the front-rear direction. FIG. 6 is a plan view and a cross-sectional view of the absorbent article 20 in a state where the absorbent article 20 is unfolded and stretched. In FIGS. 5 and 6, the absorbent articles 20 have a vertical direction and a horizontal direction that intersect with each other. The vertical direction corresponds to the longitudinal direction of the absorbent article in the elongated state, and is the direction along the vertical direction of FIG. The lateral direction corresponds to the lateral direction of the stretched absorbent article, and is the direction along the left-right direction of FIG.

5 and 6 show a tape-type disposable diaper as an example of the absorbent article 20 housed in the housing member 10. The absorbent article 20 has an exterior body 21, an interior body 22, an indicator 23, and a fastening tape 24.

The exterior body 21 is an exterior member provided on the most non-skin side of the absorbent article 20 and supports the interior body 22. As the exterior body 21, for example, an appropriate non-woven fabric such as SMS (spun bond-melt blown-spun bond) non-woven fabric can be used. Further, a predetermined symbol 25 may be provided on the non-skin side surface of the exterior body 21 (that is, the outermost surface of the absorbent article 20). The symbol 25 is provided to allow the user to visually recognize information about the absorbent article 20, similar to the symbol 15 provided on the accommodating member 10. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, the name (trade name) and features (material used) of the absorbent article 20, a graphic (for example, a picture of cotton) that makes the absorbent article 20 image, and the like are related. Information is provided as symbol 25. In addition, the size of the wearable person and other information may be displayed.

The interior body 22 is a member corresponding to an absorbent main body that absorbs excrement, and is composed of the absorbent body 22a, the skin-side sheet 22b arranged on the skin side in the thickness direction of the absorbent body 22a, and the absorbent body 22a. Also has a non-skin side sheet 22c arranged on the non-skin side in the thickness direction.

The absorber 22a is a member that absorbs and holds excrement such as urine, and is formed by covering an absorbent core containing a liquid absorbent material with a liquid permeable core wrap sheet. As the liquid absorbent material constituting the absorbent core, for example, a liquid absorbent fiber such as pulp fiber or a liquid absorbent granular material such as a highly absorbent polymer (so-called SAP) can be used. Further, as the core wrap sheet, for example, tissue paper can be used.

The skin-side sheet 22b is a member that comes into contact with the wearer's skin when the absorbent article 20 is worn, and allows excrement to permeate from the skin side to the non-skin side in the thickness direction and move to the absorber 22a. It is a liquid permeable sheet member. As the skin side sheet 22b, a flexible sheet member such as an air-through non-woven fabric can be used. The non-skin side sheet 22c is a liquid-impermeable sheet member that prevents liquids such as urine absorbed by the absorber 22a from seeping out to the non-skin side (the side of the wearer's clothes). As the non-skin side sheet 22c, for example, a flexible sheet member such as a polyethylene (PE) resin film can be used.

The indicator 23 is a detection unit for detecting at least one of urine and stool, and is provided between the absorber 22a and the non-skin side sheet 22c in the thickness direction. The indicator 23 of the present embodiment is configured as an indicator containing a pH indicator used in conventional diapers. For example, it is detected that urine or stool is excreted by exhibiting a predetermined reaction (for example, a color reaction) by contacting with urine or stool using the pH of excrement as a reaction factor. In FIG. 5, one band-shaped indicator 23 along the vertical direction is provided in the central portion in the horizontal direction, and the arrangement and quantity of the indicator 23 are determined by the type of excrement (urine or feces) to be detected. It can be changed as appropriate according to the amount of excretion. Further, in the absorbent article 20, the indicator 23 is not an essential configuration, and the indicator 23 may not be provided.

The fastening tape 24 is a pair of engaging members provided at the dorsal end portion of the exterior body 21 in the vertical direction so as to extend to both outer sides in the horizontal direction. The fastening tape 24 is provided with a hook-and-loop fastener having a hook that engages with a fiber such as a non-woven fabric. Each is engaged with the ventral region of the body 21 (nonwoven fabric). As a result, the waist opening and the leg opening of the absorbent article 20 are formed, and the position of the absorbent article 20 can be fixed with respect to the wearer's body (torso).

When accommodating the absorbent article 20 in the accommodating member 10, the pair of fastening tapes 24, 24 are folded inward in the lateral direction so that the non-skin side surface of the absorbent article 20 is on the outside, and the central portion in the vertical direction. Fold it in half. In this way, the absorbent article 20 is folded into a compact shape as shown in FIG. 5, and the absorbent article 20 is taken in and out from the opening 10E so that the vertical direction of the accommodating member 10 and the vertical direction of the absorbent article 20 are aligned. (See Fig. 4).

<About the symbol 15 provided on the accommodating member 10>
As described above, the housing member 10 of the present embodiment is provided with the symbol 15 (see FIGS. 1 and 2A, etc.). The design 15 is printed on the surface side of the outermost layer 10a by gravure printing or flexographic printing using a predetermined water-based ink. In general, water-based inks often use water as a solvent, are safer than oil-based inks using an organic solvent, and have less odor, and are therefore environmentally friendly inks. On the other hand, the water-based ink has a weaker adhesiveness to the printing medium than the oil-based ink, so that it may be difficult to use it in products distributed on the market. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, since the outermost layer 10a, which is the printing medium, is made of paper, the water-based ink is easily fixed and the design 15 can be stably formed. Therefore, from the viewpoint of environmental consideration, it is preferable to use water-based ink as the ink for printing the design 15 on the housing member 10 of the present embodiment.

By the way, in the present embodiment, by using the outermost layer 10a of the accommodating member 10 as a paper material, it is possible to remind the user of the softness of the absorbent article 20 accommodated in the accommodating member 10 and the image of being environmentally friendly. .. However, if the pattern 15 printed on the outermost layer 10a is clear, the soft image of the paper material may be impaired. For example, when a symbol having a very clear outline (edge) is provided on the surface of the accommodating member 10, the user who sees the symbol recalls a sharp and hard image as opposed to a soft image. It may be easier to do.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, the design 15 printed on the outermost layer 10a (11a) is prevented from being excessively clear, thereby suppressing giving a hard image to the user. In other words, by making at least a part of the symbol 15 rubbed, it is easy for the user to recall the soft image of the housing 1.

Specifically, the design 15 is printed using a sheet member having as low smoothness as possible as the outermost layer 10a (11a) which is the printing medium. Normally, the lower the smoothness of the sheet member, the larger the unevenness of the surface. Therefore, when printing is performed on such a sheet member, the ink density tends to vary, and the formed image seems to be partially rubbed. It becomes easier to see.

In the present embodiment, uncoated paper having a region where the Beck smoothness is less than 20 seconds is used as the outermost layer 10a, and printing is performed so that at least a part of the symbol 15 overlaps the region. Beck smoothness is determined by the time (seconds) required for a certain amount of atmospheric pressure air to flow between a test piece and a ring-shaped flat surface that have been brought into contact with each other under specific conditions under a specific initial differential pressure. It is a value expressed, and the smaller the Beck smoothness (the smaller the number of seconds), the lower the smoothness. Beck smoothness can be measured based on "Paper and paperboard-Smoothness test method by Beck smoothness tester" specified in JIS P 8119-1998.

According to the JBMS-32-2002 "Xerographic Copier / Printer Cut Paper" standard stipulated by the Business Machinery and Information Systems Industry Association, it can be used as a guide when selecting cut paper to be used for printers, etc. The recommended value for Beck smoothness is 20 to 150 seconds. This value does not guarantee the image performance, but is at least a standard range for normal printing with less rubbing. Therefore, when printing is performed on a medium having a Beck smoothness smaller than 20 seconds, which is the lower limit of the recommended value, there is a high possibility that the image is rubbed.

FIG. 7 is a table showing the measured values of Beck smoothness for the sheet members (samples A to C) of the paper material used as the outermost layer 11a of the present embodiment. The Beck smoothness was measured by a method according to JIS P 8119-1998 described above. As shown in FIG. 7, all of the sheet members A to C have a Beck smoothness of 5.3 seconds or less, which is higher than the lower limit of the Beck smoothness of 20 seconds specified in JBMS-32-2002. It is a small value. That is, the smoothness is lower than that of the printing paper recommended by JBMS-32-2002. Then, when printing is actually performed on these sheet members (samples A to C) using water-based ink, density unevenness is likely to occur in a part of the formed symbols 15, and the symbols 15 appear to be rubbed. Was confirmed.

Therefore, as the outermost layer 10a of the accommodating member 10, a sheet member (paper) having a region having a Beck smoothness of less than 20 seconds, preferably 5.3 seconds or less is used, and the pattern 15 is printed on the region. The printed symbol 15 appears to be rubbed. As a result, it is possible to easily remind the user of the texture and soft image that the accommodating member 10 and the absorbent article 20 such as a disposable diaper accommodated therein are made of paper.

As an example of the material (paper) constituting the outermost layer 10a having a Beck smoothness of less than 20 seconds, paper made of unbleached pulp can be used. If the outermost layer 10a is made of bleached bleached pulp paper, the contained absorbent article 20 may show through and the design 15 may be difficult to see. On the other hand, in general, paper made of unbleached pulp is not dyed or decolorized, and is thick and difficult to see through. Therefore, when the design 15 is printed on the paper layer made of unbleached pulp, the visibility is unlikely to deteriorate even if the design 15 is rubbed. Therefore, by printing the rubbed symbol 15 on the region made of unbleached pulp, it is possible to suppress the deterioration of the visibility of the symbol 15 while reminiscent of a soft image.

Further, in the accommodating member 10 of the present embodiment, the innermost layer 10b, which is at least partially made of resin, is laminated on the back surface side in the thickness direction of the outermost layer 10a, which is at least partially made of paper. The resin material constituting the innermost layer 10b has higher moisture resistance than the paper constituting the outermost layer 10a, and the innermost layer 10b made of resin having high moisture resistance is laminated on the back surface side of the outermost layer 10a made of paper. As a result, it is possible to prevent moisture such as moisture from entering the internal accommodation space from the outside of the accommodation member 10. Further, it is possible to prevent the water-based ink constituting the pattern 15 printed on the outermost layer 10a from permeating from the front side to the back side in the thickness direction and coming into contact with the absorbent article 20 to cause color transfer or the like. Can be done. Thereby, it is possible to easily maintain the quality of the absorbent article 20 housed in the housing member 10 in a good state.

Further, in the present embodiment, by adjusting the arrangement of the symbol 15 printed on the accommodating member 10, it is possible to make it easier for the user to recall the soft image of the accommodating body 1. FIG. 8A is a perspective view of the accommodating body 1, and is a diagram for explaining the arrangement of the symbol 15 provided on the accommodating member 10. FIG. 8B is a schematic cross-sectional view showing the XX cross section of FIG. 8A.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 8A, a plurality of symbols 15, 15 ... Are provided on the outermost surface of the accommodating member 10. Of the plurality of symbols 15, the symbol provided at the right end of FIG. 8A is referred to as symbol 151. Then, when the portion of the symbol 151 located at the left end in the left-right direction is the first portion 151A and the portion located at the right end in the left-right direction is the second portion 151B, the position of the first portion 151A in the front-rear direction is set. The symbol 151 is arranged so as to be different from the position of the second portion 151B.

The accommodating member 10 accommodating the absorbent article 20 has a shape bulging in the front-rear direction in the region accommodating the absorbent article 20. In FIG. 8B, the front seat member 11 and the rear seat member 12 are joined to each other at the side seal portions 17 at both ends in the left-right direction, and the thickness of the accommodating member 10 in the front-rear direction is the thinnest. Then, the front seat member 11 and the rear seat member 12 are curved from both ends in the left-right direction toward the inside (center side), and the distance between the two is widened in the front-rear direction. That is, the thickness of the accommodating member 10 in the front-rear direction increases. The region where the front seat member 11 and the rear seat member 12 are curved is defined as a curved region 10cr (see FIG. 8B). Then, in the central portion in the left-right direction, the thickness of the accommodating member 10 in the front-rear direction is the thickest.

As shown in FIG. 8B, the first portion 151A of the symbol 151 is arranged at a position overlapping the curved region 10cr, and the second portion 151B is arranged at a position overlapping the side seal portion 17. As described above, since the positions of the first portion 151A and the second portion 151B of the symbol 151 in the front-rear direction are different, the symbol 151 can be seen with a three-dimensional effect in the front-rear direction. Therefore, as compared with the case where the symbol 151 looks flat, the shape in which the accommodating member 10 is three-dimensionally bulged is emphasized, and it becomes easy to generate a soft image as the entire accommodating body 1. In particular, since the symbol 151 is arranged so as to widely overlap the curved region 10cr of the accommodating member 10, the symbol looks like a rounded curved surface, so that a softer impression can be given to the user.

Further, the symbol 151 is arranged so as to straddle the side seal portion 17. That is, a certain part of the symbol 151 (first portion 151A in FIG. 8B) is arranged at a position that does not overlap with the side seal portion 17, and the other portion of the symbol 151 (second portion 151B in FIG. 8B) is a side seal. It is arranged at a position overlapping the portion 17. Therefore, the symbol 151 is configured to have both a planar region that overlaps with the side seal portion 17 and a curved region that does not overlap with the side seal portion 17 (overlaps with the curved region 10cr). As a result, the symbol 151 looks more complicated and has a three-dimensional shape, and it is possible to make it easier for the user to recall the soft image of the housing 1.

Further, a window portion 16 is provided on the front side surface (front side seat member 11) of the accommodating member 10, and the absorbent article 20 accommodated inside the accommodating member 10 can be visually recognized from the outside of the accommodating body 1. It has become. That is, the user can visually recognize that the soft absorbent article 20 (paper diaper or the like) is housed inside the housing member 10. As a result, it is possible to make it easier for the user to recall the soft image of the housing 1.

At this time, the symbol 15 provided on the outermost layer 10a of the accommodating member 10 is higher than the average concentration of the symbol 25 provided on the outermost surface (exterior body 21) of the absorbent article 20 which can be visually recognized through the window portion 16. It is desirable that the average concentration is higher. By making the design 25 of the absorbent article 20 visible through the window 16 appear thinner than the design 15 of the accommodating member, the softness of the absorbent article 20 itself is emphasized, and the entire accommodating body 1 as a whole is emphasized. Can enhance the soft image of.

The density of the symbol can be measured as follows. First, the symbol 15 provided on the accommodating member 10 and the symbol 25 provided on the absorbent article 20 are photographed a plurality of times with a digital camera under the same imaging conditions, and a plurality of image data are obtained. Next, these image data are taken into a personal computer, converted to monochrome, converted to a gray scale of 256 gradations, the highest gradation value is detected for each of the symbols 15 and 25, and the highest floor for a plurality of image data. The adjustment values are averaged to obtain the maximum density of each symbol.

Further, in the accommodating member 10, it is desirable that the average value of the dynamic friction coefficient in the innermost layer 10b is smaller than the average value of the dynamic friction coefficient in the outermost layer 10a. As described above, since the outermost layer 10a is configured so that the Beck smoothness is less than 20 seconds, the outermost layer 10a has irregularities on the surface, and the dynamic friction coefficient tends to be large. On the other hand, the coefficient of dynamic friction of the innermost layer 10b should be as small as possible. When the absorbent article 20 accommodated inside is taken out from the opening 10E of the accommodating member 10 as shown in FIG. 4, the outermost surface of the absorbent article 20 is the innermost surface (innermost layer 10b) of the accommodating member 10. It is taken out while rubbing. Therefore, if the coefficient of kinetic friction of the innermost layer 10b of the accommodating member 10 is equal to or greater than the coefficient of kinetic friction of the outermost layer 10a, the absorbent article 20 is likely to be caught on the innermost surface (innermost layer 10b) of the accommodating member 10. The extraction operation may be hindered. On the other hand, by making the average value of the dynamic friction coefficient in the innermost layer 10b of the accommodating member 10 smaller than the average value of the dynamic friction coefficient of the outermost layer 10a, the symbol 15 rubbed against the outermost layer 10a is formed and absorbed. It is possible to facilitate the smooth taking-out operation of the sex article 20.

The coefficient of dynamic friction can be measured as follows, for example. First, the outermost layer 10a and the innermost layer 10b, which are the measurement target portions, are cut out to a predetermined size (for example, about 10 cm in length and about 20 cm in width), and a plurality of pieces (for example, 10 pieces) are prepared as a sample. Next, the frictional force of each sample is measured using the frictional force detection function of an automated surface tester (KESFB4-AUTO-A manufactured by Kato Tech Co., Ltd.). The measurement conditions are that the contact area of the ^{friction element is 5 mm × 5 mm (0.25 cm 2} ), and the load W is 50 gf (about 0.5 N) in the vertical direction including the weight of the friction element. Then, a tension of 400 g is applied to a sample width of 20 cm, the sample is set in an automated surface tester, the friction element is brought into contact with the sample with a load W, and the friction force F is set to a moving speed of the friction element of 1 mm / sec. Is measured, and the average value of the dynamic friction coefficient is calculated.
