Hereinafter, an absorbent article according to an embodiment of the present invention and a manufacturing process for the absorbent article will be described with reference to the drawings. The configurations of the following embodiments are examples, and the present invention is not limited to the configurations of these embodiments.

In this embodiment, a replaceable inner pad (an example of the "absorbent article" referred to in the present application)
, the direction connecting the front body arranged to face the abdomen of the wearer and the back body arranged to face the back of the wearer is defined as the longitudinal direction. Between the front body (one side in the longitudinal direction) and the back body (the other side in the longitudinal direction) (center in the longitudinal direction), there is an inseam that is placed in the wearer's crotch (placed facing the crotch) The parts are located side by side. In addition, in a state where the inner pad is worn by the wearer (hereinafter abbreviated as "wearing state"), the side facing the wearer's skin (the inner side when worn) is the skin side, and the skin side is the skin side. The opposite side (the outer side when worn) is the non-skin side. Furthermore, the direction connecting the skin surface side and the non-skin surface side is defined as the thickness direction, and the direction orthogonal to both the longitudinal direction and the thickness direction is defined as the width direction. In addition, viewing from the thickness direction is defined as planar view.

In this embodiment, the content of the invention will be described using a replaceable inner pad as an example. The present invention mainly relates to non-permeable sheets arranged on both sides in the width direction, which are biased by thread rubber (three-dimensional gathers), such as pants-type diapers and tape-type diapers equipped with three-dimensional gathers. can also be naturally applied.

1 is a plan view of an inner pad according to an embodiment; FIG. The inner pad 1 includes a crotch region 1B corresponding to the crotch covering the pubic region of the wearer in the worn state, a front body region 1F positioned in front of the crotch region 1B and corresponding to the front body of the wearer, and the crotch. It has a back body region 1R which is positioned behind the region 1B and corresponds to the wearer's back body. The front body region 1F, the back body region 1R, and the crotch region 1B incorporate a gourd-shaped absorbent body with a narrowed crotch portion centered around the crotch region 1B. At the ends of the front body region 1F and the back body region 1R, in the widthwise direction and the lengthwise direction of the diaper where there is no absorbent body, all the sheets covering the absorbent body are welded with a hot-melt adhesive or the like, and the non-welded parts are Prevents bodily fluids from entering the body and regulates the position of the absorber. The inner pad 1 is attached between the underwear and the skin of the wearer so as to be in close contact with the wearer's skin. In addition, when the inner pad 1 is attached to the inner side of a tape-type diaper or pants-type diaper, the inner pad 1 absorbs body fluids, so even if body fluids are released, the diaper itself can be reused. .

In addition, the inner pad 1 surrounds the wearer's legs (thighs) in order to suppress the formation of gaps between the inner pad 1 and the wearer's skin that serve as fluid outflow paths. An elastic body 2 is provided at a portion (widthwise end portion of the crotch portion). The elastic body 2 extends in the longitudinal direction of the inner pad 1 . Other elastic bodies 3BR and 3BL are attached to the ends of the sheet provided on the inner side in the width direction of the skin surface of the inner pad 1 than the elastic body 2, and the sheet is attached to the elastic body 3BR when worn. , and 3BL rise to form three-dimensional gathers 3R and 3L. The inner pad 1 conforms to the body shape of the wearer by the force of the elastic bodies 2 functioning as leg gathers, and is brought into close contact with the wearer's skin by the three-dimensional gathers 3R and 3L raised by the forces of the elastic bodies 3BR and 3BL. The body fluid discharged from the inner pad 1 is absorbed by the absorber of the inner pad 1 without leaking from the inner pad 1. - 特許庁As the elastic member constituting the elastic body 2 and the elastic bodies 3BR and 3BL, thread rubber, belt-like rubber, or the like can be appropriately selected. Moreover, the elastic bodies 2, 3BR, and 3BL may be a plurality of parallel rubber threads.

FIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view of the inner pad according to the embodiment. The inner pad 1 includes side sheets 8R, 8L forming three-dimensional gathers 3R, 3L, a top sheet 7, a back sheet 5, an absorbent body 6 having a gourd-shaped crotch portion, and a cover sheet 4 having an elastic body 2. and laminated in order from the skin side to the non-skin side. The absorbent body 6 does not exist at the front body end and the back body end of the inner pad, and all the sheets are adhered. In addition, the form of the absorber 6 may be rectangular.

The cover sheet 4 is a sheet that defines the framework of the diaper and is used to enhance the wearing comfort. Nonwoven fabric made of synthetic fibers such as polypropylene, polyethylene, and polyethylene terephthalate is generally used for the cover sheet 4 . Moreover, the cover sheet 4 may be liquid-permeable or liquid-impermeable. Although the cover sheet 4 is present in the present embodiment, the cover sheet 4 may be omitted by allowing the back sheet 5, which will be described later, to have the role of the cover sheet 4 as well. The back sheet 5 is a sheet made of a thermoplastic liquid-impermeable resin such as a polyethylene film in order to suppress leakage of bodily fluids. The back sheet 5 may be made of a material that is also moisture-permeable in order to prevent stuffiness when worn.

The top sheet 7 is arranged on the wearer's skin side so as to cover the absorbent surface of the absorbent body 6, and is made of a spunbond nonwoven fabric containing thermoplastic resin fibers, an air-through nonwoven fabric, or the like. This top sheet 7 has liquid permeability in part or in its entirety. Therefore, when the diaper 1 is worn, bodily fluids discharged from the wearer pass through the top sheet 7, which can contact the wearer's skin, and enter the absorbent body 6, where they are absorbed. Moreover, the top sheet 7 may have hydrophilicity. Note that the longitudinal direction of the diaper 1 is the same as the longitudinal direction of the absorbent body 6 and the top sheet 7 .

The backsheet 5, absorbent body 6, and topsheet 7 all extend from the front body region 1F to the back body region 1R. Therefore, when the cover sheet 4, in which the back sheet 5, the absorbent body 6, and the top sheet 7 are laminated, covers the genital area of the wearer, the longitudinal ends of the back sheet 5, the absorbent body 6, and the top sheet 7 are It is in a state of being positioned on the wearer's ventral side and dorsal side.

The side sheets 8R and 8L are moisture-permeable but water-impermeable nonwoven fabrics. As described above, the side sheets 8R and 8L are in close contact with the skin as the three-dimensional gathers 3R and 3L. The contained moisture is sequentially absorbed by the absorbent body 6 . The top sheet 7 is a hydrophilic non-woven fabric that feels good on the skin. It abuts on the skin and directly receives bodily fluids and plays a role of making the absorber 6 absorb them sequentially. In addition, backflow of the bodily fluid already absorbed by the absorber 6 is prevented. The elastic bodies 2 are provided at the width direction end portions of the inner pad 1 , and the inner pad 1 is urged by the contractile force of the elastic bodies 2 so as to conform to the body shape of the user. That is, the elastic body 2 functions as side gathers.

The absorber 6 contains short fibers of cellulose fibers such as pulp fibers, rayon fibers, or cotton fibers, or short fibers obtained by hydrophilizing synthetic fibers such as polyethylene, polypropylene, or polyethylene terephthalate. It has a structure that holds a granular absorbent resin (polymer water absorbent) such as SAP (Super Absorbent Polymer), which is a hydrophilic polymer with a crosslinked structure that can absorb and hold ing.

The SAP particles of the present embodiment refer to granulated resin compositions containing SAP. The "resin composition containing SAP" as used herein refers to both a composition consisting only of SAP and a composition containing SAP as a main component and other substances to the extent that it does not adversely affect water absorption. It is a concept that includes Examples of "other substances" include additives (such as surface modifiers added for the purpose of hydrophobizing the particle surface), unreacted monomers remaining during the synthesis of SAP, and the like.

Although not shown in the drawing, the absorbent body 6 is surrounded by a water-permeable core wrap sheet 9 made of pulp fibers, non-woven fabric, or the like. The core wrap sheet 9 serves to prevent the absorber 6 from collapsing and the SAP particles contained in the absorber 6 from scattering to other structures.

When the wearer is in a supine or prone position, excreted feces and urine spread evenly between the body surface and the top sheet and are gradually absorbed by the absorbent body 6, but when the wearer is sideways, the absorbent body 6 may flow to one side before completely absorbing the waste, and the importance of the three-dimensional gathers 3R and 3L for receiving the waste and preventing side leakage increases. The main forms of the three-dimensional gathers 3R, 3L and the definition of the bending directions of the side sheets 8R, 8L for creating the forms will be described below.

FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of the central portion of the inner pad when the side seat is folded inward. Specifically, it is a cross-sectional view of the inner pad of FIG. 1 taken along line AA. The side sheets 8R and 8L rise from both sides of the absorbent body 6 in the width direction, and are adhered to the skin-side top sheet 7 of the absorbent body 6 by hot-melt HM or the like. Although there is no restriction beyond the bonding position, the end portions are biased by elastic members to form three-dimensional gathers 3R and 3L. A plurality of elastic bodies 2 are attached between the back sheet 5 and the cover sheet 4 on the outer side in the width direction, and the elastic bodies 2 function as leg gathers and urge the inner pad 1 to conform to the body shape of the wearer. It is

The three-dimensional gathers 3R and 3L are obliquely raised toward the center in the width direction from the raised position where they are bonded to the top sheet 7 by the hot-melt HM (inward). By doing so, a certain space is created between the raised three-dimensional gathers 3R, 3L and the top sheet. In the inward tilting, the ends of the three-dimensional gathers hit the skin surface in a nearly perpendicular manner, so that leakage of waste in the width direction of the three-dimensional gathers 3R and 3L can be strongly restricted. When the discharge from the wearer is urine, the discharge flowing in the width direction is sequentially absorbed by the absorber 6 while being regulated by the three-dimensional gathers 3R, 3L tightly adhered to the skin surface. In this way, the inward-turned three-dimensional gathers 3R and 3L function effectively when the discharge is urine.

FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view of the longitudinal waist portion of the inner pad when the side seat is folded inward. Specifically, it is a cross-sectional view of the inner pad 1 shown in FIG. 1 taken along line BB or line CC. As shown in FIG. 1, the elastic bodies 3BR and 3BL do not exist at the longitudinal ends of the inner pad, so the side sheets 8R and 8L are not biased. At this position, the side sheets 8R, 8L are also adhered to the top sheet 7 in the same direction (that is, the inner side in the width direction) with the hot-melt HM or the like from the raised position. In this way, the three-dimensional gathers 3R, 3L can be folded inward by defining the folding direction from the longitudinal ends of the side sheets 8R, 8L to the waist.

FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view of the central portion of the inner pad when the side seat is folded outward. Specifically, it is a cross-sectional view of the inner pad 1 of FIG. 1 at the same position as that of FIG. 3 (that is, line AA). The side sheets 8R and 8L stand up from both sides in the width direction of the absorbent body 6, and are adhered to the skin surface side of the absorbent body 6 by hot melt HM or the like. There is no restriction beyond the bonding position, but the ends are biased by elastic members to form three-dimensional gathers 3R and 3L. is attached with a plurality of elastic bodies 2 and functions as a leg gather as in FIG.

The side sheets 8R, 8L rise obliquely outward in the width direction from the standing position where they are adhered to the top sheet 7 by the hot-melt HM, thereby constituting the three-dimensional gathers 3R, 3L (outside). By doing so, it is possible to increase the area of the regions formed between the three-dimensional gathers 3R, 3L and the skin surface. In the case of outside laying, the end of the three-dimensional gather hits the skin surface in a form close to parallel. Therefore, although it is difficult to strongly restrict leakage of the discharged matter in the width direction of the three-dimensional gathers 3R and 3L, if the discharged matter does not easily leak like a liquid, the region area is rather large. This has the advantage that a large amount of discharge can be retained. When the excrement generated by the wearer is faeces, the excretion spreads in the width direction and fits in the large space created by the top sheet 7 and the three-dimensional gathers 3R and 3L. In this way, the overturned three-dimensional gathers 3R and 3L function effectively when the excreted matter is stool.

FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view of the longitudinal waist portion of the inner pad when the side seat is folded outward. Specifically, it is a cross-sectional view of the inner pad of FIG. 1 at the same position as FIG. 4 (ie, line BB or line CC), and is not biased like FIG. At this position, the side sheets 8R, 8L are folded back in the width direction immediately after being raised, and are adhered to the side sheets 8R, 8L in front of the standing position by hot-melt HM or the like, and fixed outward in the width direction. ing. In this way, the three-dimensional gathers 3R, 3L can be turned outward by defining the bending direction from the longitudinal end portions to the waist portions of the side sheets 8R, 8L.

FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view of the central portion of the inner pad when the side seat is folded inward and outward. Specifically, it is a cross-sectional view of the inner pad of FIG. 1 at the same position (that is, line AA) as in FIGS. 3 and 5. FIG. The side sheets 8R and 8L stand up from both sides in the width direction of the absorbent body 6, and are adhered to the skin surface side of the absorbent body 6 by hot melt HM or the like. Although there is no restriction beyond the bonding position, the ends are urged by the elastic bodies 3BR and 3BL to form the three-dimensional gathers 3R and 3L, and the back sheet 5 and the cover sheet 4 on the outer side in the width direction. A plurality of elastic bodies 2 are attached between them and function as leg gathers as in FIGS.

The side sheets 8R, 8L once rise inward in the width direction from the standing position where they are bonded to the top sheet 7 by the hot-melt HM, and then bend outward in the width direction to form pleated three-dimensional gathers 3R, 3L. Configure (inside and out). The inner and outer folding produces an intermediate effect between the inner and outer folding. That is, from the standing position to the bent position, urine is stored in the space created between the surface standing up on the inner side in the width direction and the top sheet 7, and the time until the absorbent body 6 absorbs the urine is secured. , and feces can be held by the three-dimensional gathers 3R, 3L directed outward in the width direction after the bending position. However, the effect of holding urine is inward, and the effect of holding stool is not as good as that of outward.

FIG. 8 is a cross-sectional view of the longitudinal waist portion of the inner pad when the side seat is folded inward and outward. Specifically, it is a cross-sectional view of the inner pad in FIG. 1 at the same position (that is, line BB or line CC) as in FIGS. do not have. At this position, the side sheets 8R, 8L are adhered to the top sheet 7 by hot-melt HM or the like on the inner side in the width direction for a certain period of time from the upright position. and glued together. In this way, the three-dimensional gathers 3R, 3L can be folded inwards and outwards by defining the bending direction from the longitudinal end portions to the waist portions of the side sheets 8R, 8L.

As described above, the three-dimensional gathers 3R, 3L are inward, outward, and inward and outward, and inward, outward, and inward and outward. A structure that is glued at the waist from the waist is shown. It was also shown that the inward tilting is suitable for receiving urine, and the outward tilting is suitable for receiving feces.

Here, considering the structure of the human body, the urethral contact position exists in the direction of the front body region 1F. This tendency is particularly strong when the wearer is a man. In addition, the anal contact position exists in the direction of the back body region 1R. In this way, urine and feces are different in the longitudinal position of the receiving site. Therefore, it would be preferable to provide the three-dimensional gathers 3R and 3L that are laid out in places where feces are expected to be received and inwardly placed in places where urine is expected to be received.

FIG. 9 is a plan view showing the optimum form of the inner pad according to the embodiment. As shown in FIG. 6, the side sheets 8R and 8L are folded at the longitudinal rear end portion and the waist abutting portion of the back body region 1R, and the side sheets 8R and 8L are adhered to each other with a hot melt HM or the like ( 8RR, 8LR). As a result of such regulation, the three-dimensional gathers 3R and 3L of the back body region 1R are laid out and stand up as shown in FIG. In the back body region 1R, since the three-dimensional gathers 3R and 3L are laid outward, feces can be effectively received.

As shown in FIG. 4, the side sheets 8R and 8L are folded and adhered to the top sheet 7 by hot-melt HM or the like (8RF, 8LF). . As a result of such regulation, the three-dimensional gathers 3R and 3L of the front body region 1F are turned inward and stand up as shown in FIG. In the front body region 1F, since the three-dimensional gathers 3R and 3L are laid inward, urine can be effectively received.

In the crotch region 1B, the three-dimensional gathers 3R and 3L generally rise vertically from the inner pad 1. As shown in FIG. When the wearer is walking around, both feces and urine flow into the crotch region, but since the three-dimensional gathers 3R and 3L stand up vertically, both feces and urine can be retained by the three-dimensional gathers 3R and 3L. can be done.

FIG. 10 is a diagram showing a method of manufacturing an inner pad according to the embodiment. In the manufacturing process of an absorbent article such as the inner pad 1, a large number of parts are pasted and cut to complete. It is cut and folded into a product.

In the inner pad 1 having the optimum configuration described above, the side sheets 8L and 8R are adhered in different directions at both ends in the longitudinal direction. . Therefore, on the line, the side sheets 8R and 8L are processed so as to be either inward or outward, and a hot-melt adhesive is applied to only one end to form the adhesive portion 10. (FIG. 10(1)). The bonding portion 10 corresponds to one of 8RR, 8LR, 8RF and 8LF in FIG. Next, the inner pad 1 is individually cut (FIG. 10(2)).

Next, the ends of the side sheets 8R and 8L that are not adhered at the time of cutting are directed to the other side in the width direction (Fig. 10(3)). For example, when the side sheets 8R and 8L are folded inward and one end is adhered, they are bent so as to be folded outward. Finally, all edges are adhered with a hot-melt adhesive or the like (Fig. 10(4)). By these processes, the folding directions of the side sheets 8R and 8L are different at both ends in the longitudinal direction, and the inner pad 1 having the three-dimensional gathers 3R and 3L suitable for both feces and urine can be realized.

FIG. 11 is a diagram showing another method of manufacturing the inner pad according to the embodiment. Absorbent articles such as inner pads are stacked and moved on a line in a connected state, and after the entire structure is completed, they are individually cut and folded to become products, as in the example shown in FIG. be.

On the line in the manufacturing process according to FIG. 11, the side sheets 8R and 8L are processed so that they are turned inward toward the front, and hot-melt adhesive is applied to only one end side to adhere to the top sheet 7, An inward-turning adhesive portion 11 is constructed (FIG. 11(1)). The inward-turning adhesive portion 11 corresponds to either one of 8RF and 8LF in FIG.

Next, hot melt HM is applied to the skin surface side of the side sheets 8R, 8L (that is, 8RR, 8LR in FIG. 9) at positions that are the ends in the longitudinal direction different from the inwardly-turned adhesive portion 11 (see FIG. 9). 11(2)). Then, before the hot-melt HM hardens, pressure is temporarily applied so as to fold the entire side sheets 8R and 8L inward in the width direction, and the skin surface side end portions of the side sheets 8R and 8R and the side sheets 8L and 8L are pressed. They are brought into contact with each other (FIG. 11(3)). By doing so, the portions of the side sheets 8R, 8L on the side of the skin that are coated with the hot-melt HM are adhered to each other.

After that, the pressure applied to the side seats 8R, 8L is released. By releasing the pressure, the side sheets 8R, 8L are spread out as before. However, the portions where the skin surface side end portions of the side sheets 8R and 8L are adhered by the hot melt HM remain in the form of pressure applied by the adhesion (FIG. 11(4)). This portion becomes the outwardly-turned adhesive portion 12 . The outward-turning adhesive portion 12 corresponds to either one of 8RR and 8LR in FIG.

Finally, the inner pads 1 are individually cut (FIG. 11(5)). By going through these steps, even when the side sheets 8L and 8R are joined during the manufacturing process, the adhesion directions of the side sheets 8L and 8R are different between the front body region and the back body region, preventing both feces and urine. It is possible to manufacture the inner pad 1 having the three-dimensional gathers 3R and 3L in a suitable form.

As described above, the features of the present invention have been described in the embodiments, but the content of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. For example, as shown in FIGS. 12, 13, and 14, even if the standing positions of the side sheets 8R, 8L are arranged on the non-skin surface side of the absorbent body 6, the three-dimensional gathers 3R, 3L are shown in each figure. can specify the orientation of As shown in FIG. 12, hot-melt HM is applied to make it fall inward, hot-melt HM is applied to make it fall inside and out as shown in FIG. 13, and hot-melt HM is applied to make it fall outside as shown in FIG. 3R and 3L can be realized.

If the standing positions of the side sheets 8R and 8L are on the non-skin surface side of the absorbent body 6, the discharged matter can be held and absorbed not only on the skin surface side of the absorbent body 6 but also on the side surfaces of the absorbent body 6, so that the three-dimensional gathers 3R. , 3L. Even when such a form is taken, the three-dimensional gathers 3R and 3L are turned inward in the front body region 1F of the absorbent article, and the side sheets 3R and 3L are turned backward in the back body region 1R to retain waste. It is the same to be effective in terms of
