Description

  The present invention relates to a method for producing an absorbent article, particularly an absorbent article used as a pants-type disposable diaper for infants, adults, or incontinent persons.

  The pants-type disposable diaper includes an absorbent main body having a liquid-permeable top sheet, a liquid-impermeable back sheet, and an absorbent body disposed between the two sheets. It is known that the waist opening and the pair of leg openings are formed by joining and fixing the both side edges of the abdomen and the dorsal part. Yes. (See JP-A-61-207605)

  The above-mentioned pants-type disposable diapers are configured to fit a body shape by forming a pair of leg openings and one waist opening, respectively, and are usually worn by the wearer in a standing position. Therefore, it is used for toilet training for promoting “separation of diapers” of infants, and for incontinent persons or for walkable adults. And this kind of underpants type disposable diaper has the characteristic that a wearer can raise and lower himself / herself like normal underwear compared with what is called a flat type diaper.

  Moreover, in the above-mentioned pants-type disposable diapers, in order to improve the effect of preventing leakage from the leg openings, etc., a gather is formed by arranging elastic members on the opening peripheral edges of the pair of leg openings, respectively. (See JP-A-58-115106, JP-A-58-115107, JP-A-3-33201, JP-A-3-139349 and JP-A-3-16920).

And the above publication suggests a continuous production method for pants-type disposable diapers, and JP-A-57-77304 discloses a continuous production method for pants-type disposable diapers as described above. Yes.
Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open Nos. 57-77304 and 117602 (Busac) disclose a technique relating to gathers in which there is no gather in the crotch part or intersects at one point.

Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 61-207605 JP 58-115106 A JP 58-115107 A JP-A-3-33201 JP-A-3-139349 Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 3-16920 JP-A-57-77304 Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 57-117602

  However, the pants-type disposable diapers described in both the above-mentioned JP-A-58-115106 and No. 115107 have gathers arranged at the bottom of the Bermuda-type pants, and therefore cannot follow the movement of the wearer. For this reason, fit property is bad, and excrement leaks, or a trace of gathers is easily attached to the thigh.

Moreover, pants-type disposable diaper described in JP-A-3-33201 JP and real Hei 3-16920 discloses, as shown in FIG. 9, the elastic member 15 opening peripheral portion 22a of the leg openings 22, 22 to 22a, Although 15 is continuously arranged, the crossing part 14 of the elastic members 15 and 15 exists in the opening peripheral part 22a. Since the elastic member 15 has a small shrinkage stress at the crossing portion 14, it is easy to leak from the elastic member 15. Is hard to say.

  Moreover, in the continuous production method suggested in the above Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 3-139349 and the above-mentioned Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 3-16920, only diapers having the above-mentioned problems can be produced. There is a disadvantage that the swinging width is large and it cannot be produced at high speed. Even in the case of the continuous production method described in JP-A-57-77304, it is only possible to produce a diaper in which the elastic member is arranged on the crotch part of the diaper, and the obtained diaper has a leg opening. The elastic member is not arranged on the entire periphery of the opening peripheral edge of the part.

  Therefore, the objective of this invention is providing the continuous manufacturing method of the absorbent article with the high leak prevention effect and excellent in a feeling of wear.
