【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、予めパンツ型に形成されている使いすておむつに関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
従来から、パンツ型使いすておむつの製造方法として、パンツを形成するための連続する基材シートの前身頃側と後身頃側のそれぞれにおいて、一方の側縁部の位置から股下部の位置を経て他方の側縁部の位置に至る複数本の伸縮弾性体からなる第1伸縮弾性部材と第2伸縮弾性部材を配置して、脚周り伸縮弾性部材を形成する製造方法が知られている(例えば特許文献1)。このような、所謂、横流れの製造方法は、脚周り伸縮弾性部材とウエスト周り伸縮弾性部材を同時に取付けることが可能であり、製造効率が良いため、広く行われている。
しかしながら、横流れの製造方法により製造したおむつは、股下部の吸収体が配置されている領域を伸縮弾性部材が横断するため、吸収体が収縮して着用感が悪くなり、さらに、排泄物の拡散が妨げられるため、吸収体の吸収効率が悪くなり、漏れが生じることがあった。
【0003】
このような横流れの製造方法の有する問題点を解決するために、2枚のシート間に伸縮弾性部材を配置したウエブを凸部を複数個配列した第1ロールと対向する第2ロールとからなるロールカッターの間を通過させ、加熱及び加圧により伸縮弾性部材を切断する方法(特許文献2)、あるいは、接着部と非接着部を有する基材シート上に伸縮弾性部材を配置し、次いで非接着部において伸縮弾性部材を加圧切断する方法(特許文献3)等の方法により、股下部領域において脚周り伸縮弾性部材を切断するパンツ型使いすておむつの製造方法が提案されている。しかしながら、これらの方法は、いずれも伸縮弾性部材の切断片が不定形に残ったり、あるいは折れ曲がって存在するため、おむつの見栄えが悪くなるという問題点を有している。
さらに、伸縮弾性部材を切断する際に基材シートも切断されるため、おむつ製造時あるいは着用時に、切断により基材シートに生じた開口部が広がり、おむつの強度が低下するという問題点を有している。一般に、伸縮弾性部材の切断は、基材シートの接着剤が存在しない部分で行われるため、開口部が広がり易く、基材シートの強度が低下し易いものであった。

【発明が解決しようとする課題】
本発明は、上記従来のパンツ型使いすておむつの有する問題点を克服し、製品の見栄えが良く、強度低下がなく、さらに着用感に優れ、漏れのないパンツ型使いすておむつを提供するものである。
【0006】
【課題を解決するための手段】
上記課題を解決した本発明は、以下の各発明を包含する。
【0007】
(1)液透過性のトップシートと、液不透過性のバックシートと、これら両シートの間に配置された吸収体とからなる吸収性本体と、吸収性本体が接合され、着用者に吸収性本体を当てて保持する外装部材とからなり、外装部材の前身頃と後身頃の相対する両側縁部を接合してウエスト周り開口部と一対の脚周り開口部を形成し、前記開口部に沿って伸縮弾性部材が配置されたパンツ型使いすておむつにおいて、
前記外装部材は2枚のシートからなり、前身頃側の外装部材の2枚のシート間には、一方の側縁部から股下部を経て他方側縁部に至る複数本の伸縮弾性部材からなる第1伸縮弾性部材が配置され、そのうちの少なくとも一部分が前記脚周り開口部に沿って該2枚のシートの対向する面の両方に塗布されている接着剤によって接着固定されていて脚周り伸縮弾性部材を形成し、
後身頃側の前記外装部材の2枚のシート間には、一方の側縁部から股下部を経て他方の側縁部に至る複数本の伸縮弾性部材からなる第2伸縮弾性部材が配置され、そのうちの少なくとも一部分が前記脚周り開口部に沿って該2枚のシートの対向する面の両方に塗布されている接着剤によって接着固定されていて脚周り伸縮弾性部材を形成し、
前記第1伸縮弾性部材及び第2伸縮弾性部材の他の部分は、前記外装部材の2枚のシートの一方の内面のみに塗布されている接着剤によって前記股下部領域の2枚のシート間に伸長状態で弱接着配置された状態から、該股下部領域の中央部で切断されることによって前記2枚のシート間で配置された軌跡に沿って剥離しながら収縮した状態で股下部領域の少なくとも中央部で不連続となっている状態に配置されており、前記股下部領域における前記外装部材の2枚のシート間は接着されていることを特徴とするパンツ型使いすておむつ。
【0010】
【発明の実施の形態】
本発明のパンツ型使いすておむつは、排泄物を吸収するための吸収性本体と吸収性本体を着用者に当てて保持する外装部材からなり、外装部材は2枚のシートからなり、前身頃側と後身頃側には、それぞれ、2枚のシート間に、一方の側縁部から股下部を経て他方の側縁部に至る複数本の伸縮弾性部材からなる第1伸縮弾性部材と第2伸縮弾性部材が配置され、このうちの少なくとも一部分が脚周り開口部に沿って配置されて脚周り伸縮弾性部材が形成されている。
また、股下部における第1伸縮弾性部材と第2伸縮弾性部材は、股下部の少なくとも中央部において不連続となるように配置されており、さらに、伸縮弾性部材の不連続領域では外装部材を形成する2枚のシートが接着されている。このように股下部において伸縮弾性部材が不連続に配置されていることによって、得られるおむつは、股下部の吸収体を弾性体により収縮させることがなく、履き心地が良くなり、また、排泄物の拡散を妨げることがなくなるため、効率よく吸収体を利用でき、漏れを防ぐことができる。
さらに、本発明において、伸縮弾性部材を不連続に配置する方法は、以下に示すように、ロールカッター等により伸縮弾性部材を切断して行われるため、外装部材を形成するシートも同時に切断されて開口部が形成されるが、切断部では2枚のシートが接着されているため、開口部が広がるのを防止することができ、おむつの強度が低下するのを防止することができる。
【0011】
股下部領域に伸縮弾性部材を不連続に配置する方法としては、伸縮弾性部材を外装部材の2枚のシート間に弱接着されている状態で連続で配置させた後、加圧、加熱、或いは、切断刃などの切断方法もしくはそれらの組み合わせにより股下部、特にその中央部で伸縮弾性部材を切断することにより、行うことができる。切断方法は、好ましくは、伸縮弾性部材を配置した外装部材を表面に凸部を有するロールとこれに対向するロールとからなるロールカッターの間を通過させ、加熱及び加圧により切断する方法がよい。この方法の場合、伸縮弾性部材の切断の際に、外装部材を切断しても、その部分は熱により溶融してフィルム化するのみで穴が開かないため、見栄えがよくなる。更に、切断は外装部材の内側、即ち、おむつの吸収体本体側から行なうのがよい。このようにすると、外装部材の外側、即ち、おむつの外側は傷が付きにくく、見栄えが悪くならないので好ましい。また、伸縮弾性部材の切断は、伸縮弾性部材1本当たり1回が好ましい。2回以上切断すると、伸縮弾性部材の切断片が股下部領域のシート内に残って見栄えが悪くなり、好ましくない。
【0012】
また、伸縮弾性部材が不連続となる領域は、第1伸縮弾性部材と第2伸縮弾性部材を脚周り開口部や、股下部の脚開口部側の領域で外装部材の内外層シートに接着固定している接着剤よりも弱く該内外層シートに接着されている。このように弱く接着されている伸縮弾性部材は、切断された際に、自身の収縮力によりシートから剥離しながら収縮するが、その収縮方向は、周囲の内外層シート間の接着状態が維持されているため、伸縮弾性部材が貼着されていた軌跡に沿って直線的に戻ることとなり、伸縮弾性部材が折れたり、曲がったりせず見栄えがよい。
【0013】
伸縮弾性部材が不連続に配置される股下部領域に使用される接着剤の接着力は、第1伸縮弾性部材と第2伸縮弾性部材を脚周り開口部領域に接着固定している接着剤の接着力の5〜80%が好ましく、10〜50%であることがより好ましい。80%を越えると、接着力が強すぎて、伸縮弾性部材をシート間に固定してしまい、股下部領域で切断した場合にもシートから剥離して収縮することができず、吸収体を収縮させてしまうため好ましくない。逆に、5%未満の接着力では安定して接着が出来ず好ましくない。
【0014】
股下部領域では、外装部剤の内外層シート間が弱接着されていればよいので、少ない接着力にする方が、コストが低くすみ好ましい。弱接着を達成する方法は、例えば、脚周り開口部領域の伸縮弾性部材固定部と股下部領域の伸縮弾性部材の不連続部に使用する接着剤を変えたり、接着方法を変える、或いは、接着剤の量を減らす、もしくは接着面積を減らす、等により達成することができ、どのような方法を用いても構わないが、接着剤の量を減らす方法が設備上容易に実施でき、コストが少なくてすむため好ましい。
【0015】
本発明のパンツ型使いすておむつの吸収性本体に使用される液透過性トップシートには、ポリエチレン、ポリプロピレン、ポリエステル、その他の熱可塑性樹脂等を原料として合成繊維からなる液透過性の不織布、織布が用いられる。また、天然繊維でもよく、合成繊維と天然繊維との組み合わせ等、広い範囲の材料から製造することができる。いずれにしても、トップシートは、直接肌に接触する部分であるため、柔らかく、肌触りのよいものであれば良く、通気性であれば良い。
【0016】
トップシートの中央領域は、吸収体上に配置されるため、速やかに液を透過させることができるように、親水性繊維であることが好ましい。また、トップシートの縦方向両端領域は、液を吸収した吸収体から、外側にしみ出さないように撥水性であることが好ましい。
また、トップシートは、単一のシートで構成される必要はなく、中央部トップシートや側部トップシートといった複数枚のシートで構成されても良い。また、複数枚のシートでトップシートを構成する際、各シートは別の素材を使っても良いが、同一の素材でも良い。
【0017】
本発明のパンツ型使いすておむつに使用される液不透過性バックシートは、ポリエチレン等の液不透過性フィルム、液不透過性フィルムに不織布又は織布を貼り合わせてある素材、また、防漏性のある不織布、織布等からなり、特に制限はなく、吸収体中の水分がおむつ外側にしみ出さないものであれば良い。また、布状外観を与えるために模様状にエンボス処理されたり、さらに艶消し仕上げされていても構わない。
【0018】
また、フィルムを使用する場合は、液不透過性でありながら、水蒸気だけを透過させる公知の透湿性フィルムを使用しても構わず、ムレを防止することから好ましい。また、着用者にフィットするように伸縮性のある素材であっても良く、ポリウレタン系フィルム、天然ゴムシート、発泡シート等の使用が考えられ、さらに、伸縮性不織布などを貼りあわせた素材でも良い。
【0019】
本発明のパンツ型使いすておむつにおける吸収性本体に使用される吸収体は、綿状パルプ、高吸水性高分子物質、親水性シート等によって形成され、吸水性の性質をもっていれば特に制限を受けるものではない。吸収体は、従来の使いすておむつや、その他の吸収性物品の通常使用される公知の吸収性材料から作られている。すなわち、綿状パルプ、レーヨン等の吸収性繊維からなる単層もしくは多層のマットから形成され、さらに親水性シートによってくるまれており、そして、高吸水性高分子物質が各マット中に均一に混合もしくは各マット間に層状に配置されている。また、高吸水性高分子物質を均一に混合された吸収体は、綿状パルプに対して3〜60質量%の熱融着性物質を混合した後、熱圧着してもよいし、もしくは高吸水性高分子物質のみが親水性シートによりくるまれているものであっても良い。
【0020】
綿状パルプとしては、化学パルプシート、古紙パルプシート、機械パルプシートを粉砕機で解繊することにより得られる繊維長5mm以下のものである。パルプ原料としては、針葉樹に限らず、広葉樹、わら、竹及びケナフも適用される。このパルプの使用量は、目的とする吸収体により、例えば、単独に用いるか、複数積層して用いるか、他の吸収材を併用するかなどにより異なるが、一般には、50〜400g/m2にされる。
【0021】
高吸水性高分子物質としては、デンプン系、セルロース系、合成ポリマー系が挙げられる。すなわち、デンプン−アクリル酸(塩)グラフト重合体、デンプン−アクリル酸エチルグラフト共重合体のケン化物、デンプン−メタクリル酸メチルグラフト共重合体のケン化物、デンプン−アクリロニトリルグラフト共重合体のケン化物、デンプン−アクリルアミドグラフト共重合体のケン化物、アクリル酸(塩)重合体、アクリル酸で架橋されたポリエチレンオキシド、ナトリウムカルボキシメチルセルロースの架橋物、ポリビニルアルコール−無水マレイン酸反応物架橋物などが例示されるが、この中で自重の20倍以上の尿、体液及び水を吸収するもので、ポリアクリル酸ナトリウム系のものが吸収性能の点から最も適当である。
【0022】
高吸水性高分子物質の分布量は、乾燥した綿状パルプ100質量部に対して10〜500質量部、好ましくは15〜300質量部であり、かかる量の高吸水性高分子物質が綿状パルプに実質的に均一に分布していると、高吸水性高分子物質が吸水し膨潤したとき、その粒子は相互の干渉が最小にとどめられ、連続的に接触して透過障壁が形成されることが少なく、尿や体液を3次元方向に良好に透過吸水する。
【0023】
前記吸収体の形状は、砂時計型、矩型、T字型等特に制限はなく、股下にフィットする形状であれば良い。一般的に着用感を向上させるために、砂時計型やT字型等股下部を狭くした形状であることが特に好ましい。
【0024】
本発明において、伸縮弾性部材は、脚周り開口部、ウエスト周り開口部等に伸長状態で配置され、ホットメルト接着剤により接着固定されている。伸縮弾性部材は、ウレタンフィルム、ウレタン糸、ウレタンフォーム、糸ゴム等が使用される。
【0025】
【実施例】
以下に実施例を挙げて本発明の使いすておむつをより具体的に説明するが、勿論、本発明はこれらによって限定されるものではない。
【0026】
図1は、本発明のパンツ型使いすておむつを示す斜視図である。図1において、パンツ型使いすておむつ1は、前身頃2と後身頃3の相対する両側縁部をサイドシーム6で接合して、ウエスト周り開口部4と脚周り開口部5が形成され、各開口部に沿って伸縮弾性部材が配置されて形成されている。
さらに、本発明では、上記ウエスト周り開口部4と脚周り開口部5の間の胴周り領域にもウエスト周り開口部4に平行に伸縮弾性部材を配置することが可能である。胴周り領域に伸縮弾性部材を配置することにより、着用者へのおむつのフィット性が良好となり、ずり下がりが防止されるため好ましい。
【0027】
また、サイドシーム6の接着閉鎖は、前身頃2と後身頃3の両側縁が外側に突き出した状態、又は両側縁が内側に突きだした状態、あるいは一方の側縁を外側に、他方の側縁を内側に突き出した状態で重ね合わせ、ホットメルト接着剤、加圧溶融、超音波溶融等を単独で、又はそれらを組み合わせることにより接着することが可能である。
【0028】
図2は、図1で示した本発明のパンツ型使いすておむつのサイドシーム6を解放展開した伸長状態を示す平面図である。
図2において、外装部材20の前身頃2には、一方の側縁部から股下部を経て他方の側縁部に至る複数本の伸縮弾性材料から成る第1伸縮弾性部材7が配置され、後身頃3には、一方の側縁部から股下部を経て他方の側縁部に至る複数本の伸縮弾性材料からなる第2伸縮弾性部材8が配置され、第1及び第2伸縮弾性部材7、8の脚周り開口部5に沿って配置された部分により脚周り伸縮弾性部材が形成されている。また、ウエスト周り開口部4の近傍には、ウエスト周り開口部伸縮弾性部材9が配置され、ウエスト周りに伸縮弾性が付与されている。
【0029】
さらに、第1伸縮弾性部材7と第2伸縮弾性部材8は、股下部11において切断部14で切断され、不連続部を形成している。また、切断部14には、伸縮弾性部材を切断した際に外装部材20を形成するシートも切断されるため、開口部が形成されている。
切断の方法は、ロールカッターに1本の刃を取付けて第1及び第2伸縮弾性部材を一緒に切断しても良く、ロールカッターの2箇所に刃を取付けて第1伸縮弾性部材と第2伸縮弾性部材を別々に切断しても良く、あるいは、第1及び第2伸縮弾性部材を形成する伸縮弾性材料を個々に切断しても良く、特に限定されるものではない。
【0030】
さらに、切断形状は直線状、曲線状、円形、楕円形などどのような形状でも良く、伸縮弾性部材に対して直角に配置しても、或いは、斜めに配置しても良い。本実施例においては、伸縮弾性部材に対し、直線状の切断形状を斜めに配置しているが、このように配置すると、外装部材を形成するシートに開口部が形成された場合、外装部材が縦方向、或いは、横方向に引っ張られても開口部が広がりにくいため好ましい。
【0031】
図3は、図2に示した本発明のパンツ型使いすておむつの第1及び第2伸縮弾性部材の固定状態を示した平面図である。図3において、脚周り開口部5に配置された第1伸縮弾性部材7及び第2伸縮弾性部材8は、固定部12において、接着剤により外装部材20に接着固定されている。さらに、股下部11における伸縮弾性部材不連続部では、固定部13は脚周り開口部の固定部12よりも弱い接着力により外装部材を形成するシート間を接着している。
【0032】
伸縮弾性部材切断部14により切断された第1伸縮弾性部材7及び第2伸縮弾性部材8は、固定部13の接着力では固定されることがないため、自身の収縮力によりシートから剥離しながら収縮するが、周囲の外装部材間は接着されているため、伸縮弾性部材は配置された軌跡に沿って収縮し、隣り合う伸縮弾性部材が重なったり、折れたりしないため、見栄えが良い。また、固定部12と固定部13の領域の範囲を変えることで、脚周りの伸縮性を有する領域と股下の伸縮性の有しない領域の範囲を自由に調節することが可能である。
【0033】
図4は、図3に示す本発明のパンツ型使いすておむつをA−A’線で切断した状態を示す断面図である。図4において、パンツ型使いすておむつ1は、排泄物を吸収する吸収性本体19と、吸収性本体19が接合され、これを着用者に当てて保持する外装部材20とから形成されている。また、吸収性本体19は、液透過性のトップシート17と、液不透過性のバックシート18と、これら両シートの間に配置された吸収体10とから基本的に形成されており、吸収性本体19の両側縁には立体ギャザー23が取付けられている。さらに、外装部材20は、外層シート21と、外層シート21の内側表面に積層された内層シート22とから形成されており、これら2枚のシートの間には第1伸縮弾性部材7が配置されている。
【0034】
第1伸縮弾性部材7は、脚周り開口部領域の固定部12において、接着剤15により外層シート21に接着固定されている。さらに、第1伸縮弾性部材7は、おむつ股下部領域11の固定部13における不連続部分を形成する部分は、最初は接着剤16により外層シート21と内層シート22が接着されている状態で両シート間に接着されているが、外層シート21との接着力よりも第1伸縮弾性部材7の収縮力の方が強いため、股下部領域11で切断されると、外層シート21から剥離しながら収縮して不連続部を形成する。第1伸縮弾性部材7の固定部12における接着や、固定部13における仮接着は、内層シート22側に塗布した接着剤で行っても構わない。固定部12における接着剤15と固定部13における接着剤16は、同じ接着剤でも異なる接着剤でも良く、接着剤16に接着力の弱い接着剤を用いるか、同じ接着剤の場合は、接着剤16の使用量を少なくすることで、伸縮弾性部材不連続部を形成することができる弱接着を得ることができる。
【0035】
図5は、図3に示す本発明のパンツ型使いすておむつをA−A’線で切断した状態を示す別の例の断面図である。第1伸縮弾性部材7は、固定部12において、外層シート21に塗布された接着剤15と内層シート22に塗布された接着剤16により、両シート間に接着固定されている。さらに、第1伸縮弾性部材7の不連続部分を形成する股下領域11の固定部13は、内層シート22に塗布された接着剤16により外層シート21と内層シート22が接着されているが、これら両シートと第1伸縮弾性部材7との接着力よりも、第1伸縮弾性部材7を切断した際の該伸縮弾性部材の収縮力の方が強いため、切断されると両シートから剥離しながら収縮して不連続部を形成している。
【0036】
伸縮弾性部材の固定は、固定部12においては、伸縮弾性部材が外層シート21と内層シート22に塗布された接着剤15と接着剤16の間に挟まれるため、少ない接着剤で強固に接着固定することが可能であり、また、弱接着を必要とする伸縮弾性部材の不連続形成部である固定部13では、内層シート22に塗布する接着剤16の量を減らすことができるため、容易に弱接着域を形成することができる。また、弱接着領域を形成する接着剤に外層シート21側の接着剤15を用いても構わない。
【0037】
本発明のパンツ型使いすておむつは、股下部において、切断される前の第1伸縮弾性部材7及び第2伸縮弾性部材8は、これを形成する伸縮弾性材料がおむつの幅方向に平行に間隔をおいて複数本配置されている。この場合、第1伸縮弾性部材7及び第2伸縮弾性部材8は、それぞれが交差して配置されていても良く、あるいは交差せずに配置されていても良い。
【0038】
また、第1伸縮弾性部材7と第2伸縮弾性部材8を形成する伸縮弾性材料の本数は、特に制限はなく、第1伸縮弾性部材7と第2伸縮弾性部材8で同じであっても良く、あるいは異なっていても良い。
【0039】
本発明のおむつは、股下部中央部おいては、第1伸縮弾性部材7と第2伸縮弾性部材8は不連続に配置されており、さらに、伸縮弾性部材の不連続領域では、外装部材を形成する内層シートと外層シートが接着剤により接着されている。このように、股下部領域の中央部に伸縮弾性部材の不連続部を形成することによって、吸収体が収縮することがなくるため、履き心地が良くなり、また、股下中央部において吸収体が着用者に圧迫されることがなくなるため、股下部中央部で着用者と吸収体の間に空間が形成されやすくなり、立体ギャザーが起立しやすくなってポケット構造が形成され、さらに、排泄物を吸収する際に吸収体が膨潤するのを妨害されることがないため、漏れ防止効果が大幅に改善される。
【0040】
さらに、伸縮弾性部材の不連続領域は、股下部中央領域において伸縮弾性部材を切断して形成されるため、この際、外装部材を形成するシートも一緒に切断されてシートに開口部が形成されるが、この領域では外装部材の2枚のシートが接着剤によって接着されているため、おむつの製造時あるいは着用時に開口部が広がることがなく、強度が維持される。
【0041】
【発明の効果】
本発明のパンツ型使いすておむつは、排泄物を吸収するための吸収性本体と吸収性本体を着用者に当てて保持する外装部材からなり、外装部材の前身頃側と後身頃側には、それぞれ、一方の側縁部から股下部を経て他方の側縁部に至る複数本の伸縮弾性材料からなる第1伸縮弾性部材と第2伸縮弾性部材が配置され、このうちの少なくとも一部分が脚周り開口部に沿って配置されて脚周り伸縮弾性部材が形成されている。また、股下部において第1伸縮弾性部材と第2伸縮弾性部材が不連続に配置されており、不連続部領域において外装部材を形成する2枚のシートが接着されている。
このような構成を有する本発明のパンツ型使いすておむつは、履き心地が良く、漏れ防止効果が優れ、おむつの製造時あるいは着用時に優れた強度を有するものであり、さらに、伸縮弾性部材の不連続部分が綺麗に配列されているため見栄えの良いものである。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a disposable diaper that is formed in a pants shape in advance.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, as a manufacturing method of a pants-type diaper, the position of the crotch from the position of one side edge on each of the front body side and the back body side of the continuous base sheet for forming the pants is changed. A manufacturing method is known in which a first stretchable elastic member and a second stretchable elastic member made up of a plurality of stretchable elastic bodies reaching the position of the other side edge portion are disposed to form a leg-around stretchable elastic member ( For example, Patent Document 1). Such a so-called lateral flow manufacturing method is widely used because it is possible to attach the elastic elastic member around the legs and the elastic elastic member around the waist at the same time, and the manufacturing efficiency is good.
However, in the diaper manufactured by the cross flow manufacturing method, the elastic elastic member crosses the region where the absorbent body of the crotch part is disposed, so that the absorbent body contracts and the feeling of wearing becomes worse, and further, the excrement is diffused. This hinders the absorption efficiency of the absorber and may cause leakage.
[0003]
In order to solve such problems of the lateral flow manufacturing method, a web in which a stretchable elastic member is arranged between two sheets is composed of a first roll in which a plurality of convex portions are arranged and a second roll facing the first roll. A method of cutting a stretchable elastic member by passing between roll cutters and heating and pressurizing (Patent Document 2), or placing a stretchable elastic member on a base sheet having an adhesive portion and a non-adhesive portion, and then non- There has been proposed a manufacturing method of a pants-type diaper that cuts the elastic elastic member around the leg in the crotch region by a method such as a method of pressure-cutting the elastic elastic member at the bonding portion (Patent Document 3). However, all of these methods have a problem that the appearance of the diaper is deteriorated because the cut pieces of the elastic elastic member remain in an indefinite shape or are bent.
Furthermore, since the base sheet is also cut when the elastic elastic member is cut, the opening produced in the base sheet due to the cutting is widened when the diaper is manufactured or worn, and the strength of the diaper is reduced. is doing. In general, since the elastic elastic member is cut at a portion of the base sheet where no adhesive is present, the opening is likely to spread, and the strength of the base sheet is likely to be reduced.

[0010]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The pants-type use diaper of the present invention comprises an absorbent main body for absorbing excrement and an exterior member for holding the absorbent main body against the wearer, the exterior member is composed of two sheets, and the front body On the side and the back body side, between the two sheets, a first elastic elastic member and a second elastic member made up of a plurality of elastic elastic members extending from one side edge part to the other side edge part through the crotch part, respectively. A telescopic elastic member is disposed, and at least a part of the elastic member is disposed along the leg opening to form a leg elastic member.
The first elastic elastic member and the second elastic elastic member in the crotch part are disposed so as to be discontinuous at least in the central part of the crotch part, and an exterior member is formed in the discontinuous region of the elastic elastic member. Two sheets to be bonded are bonded. Since the elastic elastic members are discontinuously disposed in the crotch portion in this way, the obtained diaper does not contract the absorbent body in the crotch portion with the elastic body, and comfort is improved, and excrement Therefore, the absorber can be used efficiently and leakage can be prevented.
Furthermore, in the present invention, the method for discontinuously disposing the stretchable elastic member is performed by cutting the stretchable elastic member with a roll cutter or the like as shown below, so that the sheet forming the exterior member is also cut at the same time. Although the opening is formed, since the two sheets are bonded to each other at the cutting portion, the opening can be prevented from spreading and the strength of the diaper can be prevented from being lowered.
[0011]
As a method of discontinuously disposing the stretchable elastic member in the crotch region, after the stretchable elastic member is continuously disposed in a weakly bonded state between the two sheets of the exterior member, pressurization, heating, or It can be performed by cutting the elastic elastic member at the crotch, particularly at the center thereof, by a cutting method such as a cutting blade or a combination thereof. The cutting method is preferably a method in which an exterior member having a stretchable elastic member is passed between a roll cutter having a convex portion on the surface and a roll opposed to the outer member, and is cut by heating and pressing. . In the case of this method, even when the exterior member is cut when the elastic elastic member is cut, the portion is melted by heat and formed into a film, and a hole is not opened, so that the appearance is improved. Furthermore, the cutting is preferably performed from the inside of the exterior member, that is, from the absorbent body side of the diaper. If it does in this way, the outer side of an exterior member, ie, the outer side of a diaper, is hard to be damaged and it is preferred because it does not deteriorate the appearance. Further, it is preferable that the elastic elastic member is cut once per elastic elastic member. If it is cut twice or more, the cut pieces of the elastic elastic member remain in the sheet in the crotch region, which deteriorates the appearance, which is not preferable.
[0012]
Also, in the region where the elastic elastic member is discontinuous, the first elastic elastic member and the second elastic elastic member are bonded and fixed to the inner and outer layer sheets of the exterior member at the opening around the leg and the leg opening at the crotch. It adheres to the inner and outer layer sheets weaker than the adhesive. Such a weakly bonded elastic elastic member contracts while being peeled off from the sheet by its own contracting force when cut, but the contraction direction maintains the adhesion between the surrounding inner and outer layer sheets. Therefore, the elastic elastic member returns linearly along the locus on which the elastic elastic member is adhered, and the elastic elastic member does not break or bend, so that the appearance is good.
[0013]
The adhesive force of the adhesive used in the crotch region where the elastic members are discontinuously arranged is that of the adhesive that fixes the first elastic member and the second elastic member to the leg opening region. 5 to 80% of the adhesive strength is preferable, and 10 to 50% is more preferable. If it exceeds 80%, the adhesive force is too strong and the elastic elastic member is fixed between the sheets, and even when cut in the crotch region, it cannot be peeled off and contracted, and the absorber contracted. This is not preferable because it causes Conversely, an adhesive force of less than 5% is not preferable because stable adhesion cannot be achieved.
[0014]
In the crotch region, it is sufficient that the inner and outer layer sheets of the exterior part agent are weakly bonded. Therefore, it is preferable to make the adhesive strength low because the cost is low. The method of achieving weak adhesion is, for example, changing the adhesive used for the discontinuous part of the elastic elastic member fixing part in the leg opening area and the elastic elastic member in the crotch area, changing the bonding method, or bonding Any method can be used, such as reducing the amount of the adhesive or reducing the bonding area, but the method of reducing the amount of the adhesive can be easily implemented on the equipment, and the cost is low. This is preferable.
[0015]
The liquid-permeable top sheet used in the absorbent main body of the pants-type use diaper of the present invention is a liquid-permeable nonwoven fabric made of synthetic fibers using polyethylene, polypropylene, polyester, other thermoplastic resins as raw materials, Woven cloth is used. Moreover, natural fiber may be sufficient and it can manufacture from a wide range of materials, such as a combination of synthetic fiber and natural fiber. In any case, since the top sheet is a part that directly contacts the skin, the top sheet may be soft and soft, and may be breathable.
[0016]
Since the central region of the top sheet is disposed on the absorbent body, it is preferable that the top sheet is a hydrophilic fiber so that the liquid can permeate quickly. Moreover, it is preferable that the longitudinal direction both ends area | region of a top sheet is water-repellent so that it may not bleed out from the absorber which absorbed the liquid.
Moreover, the top sheet does not need to be composed of a single sheet, and may be composed of a plurality of sheets such as a central top sheet and a side top sheet. In addition, when the top sheet is composed of a plurality of sheets, each sheet may use a different material, but the same material may be used.
[0017]
The liquid-impermeable back sheet used for the pants-type diaper of the present invention is a liquid-impermeable film such as polyethylene, a material in which a nonwoven fabric or a woven fabric is bonded to a liquid-impermeable film, It is made of a leaky nonwoven fabric, woven fabric, or the like, and is not particularly limited as long as moisture in the absorbent body does not ooze out to the outside of the diaper. Moreover, in order to give a cloth-like appearance, it may be embossed into a pattern or may be further matte finished.
[0018]
Moreover, when using a film, you may use the well-known moisture-permeable film which permeate | transmits only water vapor | steam, although it is liquid-impermeable, and it is preferable from preventing a dampness. In addition, it may be a stretchable material so as to fit the wearer, a polyurethane film, a natural rubber sheet, a foam sheet, etc. may be used, and a stretched nonwoven fabric may be used. .
[0019]
The absorbent body used for the absorbent main body in the pants-type diaper of the present invention is formed by cotton-like pulp, a highly water-absorbing polymer material, a hydrophilic sheet, etc., and is particularly limited if it has water-absorbing properties. It is not something to receive. The absorbent body is made of a known absorbent material commonly used for conventional disposable diapers and other absorbent articles. In other words, it is formed from a single-layer or multi-layer mat made of absorbent fibers such as cotton pulp and rayon, and is wrapped by a hydrophilic sheet, and a superabsorbent polymer material is uniformly mixed in each mat. Alternatively, they are arranged in layers between the mats. In addition, the absorbent body uniformly mixed with the highly water-absorbing polymer substance may be subjected to thermocompression bonding after mixing 3 to 60% by mass of a heat-fusible substance with respect to the cotton-like pulp, Only the water-absorbing polymer substance may be wrapped with a hydrophilic sheet.
[0020]
The cotton-like pulp is one having a fiber length of 5 mm or less obtained by defibrating a chemical pulp sheet, a used paper pulp sheet, and a mechanical pulp sheet with a pulverizer. Pulp raw materials are not limited to conifers, but hardwoods, straw, bamboo and kenaf are also applicable. The amount of the pulp used depends on the intended absorber, for example, depending on whether it is used singly, a plurality of layers are used, or other absorbents are used in combination, but generally 50 to 400 g / m 2. To be.
[0021]
Examples of the superabsorbent polymer material include starch-based, cellulose-based, and synthetic polymer-based materials. That is, starch-acrylic acid (salt) graft polymer, saponified product of starch-ethyl acrylate graft copolymer, saponified product of starch-methyl methacrylate graft copolymer, saponified product of starch-acrylonitrile graft copolymer, Examples include saponified starch-acrylamide graft copolymer, acrylic acid (salt) polymer, polyethylene oxide crosslinked with acrylic acid, crosslinked sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, crosslinked polyvinyl alcohol-maleic anhydride, and the like. However, it absorbs urine, body fluids and water more than 20 times its own weight, and sodium polyacrylate is most suitable from the viewpoint of absorption performance.
[0022]
The distribution amount of the superabsorbent polymer material is 10 to 500 parts by mass, preferably 15 to 300 parts by mass, with respect to 100 parts by mass of the dried cotton-like pulp. When distributed substantially uniformly in the pulp, when the superabsorbent polymer material absorbs water and swells, the particles have minimal mutual interference and are in continuous contact to form a permeation barrier. There is little, and urine and body fluid are permeated and absorbed well in the three-dimensional direction.
[0023]
There is no restriction | limiting in particular in the shape of the said absorber, such as an hourglass shape, a rectangular shape, and a T-shape, What is necessary is just a shape which fits a crotch. In general, in order to improve the wearing feeling, it is particularly preferable that the crotch part has a narrow shape such as an hourglass shape or a T-shape.
[0024]
In the present invention, the stretchable elastic member is disposed in a stretched state in the opening around the legs, the opening around the waist, and the like, and is bonded and fixed with a hot melt adhesive. As the elastic elastic member, a urethane film, urethane yarn, urethane foam, rubber thread or the like is used.
[0025]
【Example】
Hereinafter, the used diaper of the present invention will be described more specifically with reference to examples. However, the present invention is not limited to these examples.
[0026]
FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a pants-type disposable diaper according to the present invention. In FIG. 1, the pant-type diaper 1 has a waist seam opening 4 and a leg circumference opening 5 formed by joining opposite side edges of the front body 2 and the back body 3 with side seams 6. A stretchable elastic member is disposed along each opening.
Furthermore, in the present invention, a stretchable elastic member can be disposed in the waist area between the waist opening 4 and the leg opening 5 in parallel to the waist opening 4. It is preferable to dispose the elastic elastic member in the waist area because the fit of the diaper to the wearer is improved and sliding down is prevented.
[0027]
In addition, the side seam 6 may be closed with the side edges of the front body 2 and the back body 3 protruding outward, or the edges of both ends protruding inward, or one side edge outward and the other side edge. It is possible to bond them by superimposing them in a state of projecting inward, hot melt adhesive, pressure melting, ultrasonic melting or the like alone or in combination.
[0028]
FIG. 2 is a plan view showing an extended state in which the side seam 6 of the pant-type use diaper of the present invention shown in FIG. 1 is released and deployed.
In FIG. 2, the front body 2 of the exterior member 20 is provided with a first elastic elastic member 7 made of a plurality of elastic elastic materials from one side edge to the other side edge through the crotch, The body 3 is provided with a second elastic elastic member 8 made of a plurality of elastic elastic materials from one side edge to the other side edge through the crotch, and the first and second elastic elastic members 7, A leg-stretchable elastic member is formed by a portion disposed along the leg-leg opening 8. In addition, a waist-opening stretchable elastic member 9 is disposed in the vicinity of the waist-opening 4 to provide stretch elasticity around the waist.
[0029]
Furthermore, the 1st elastic elastic member 7 and the 2nd elastic elastic member 8 are cut | disconnected by the cutting part 14 in the crotch part 11, and form the discontinuous part. Moreover, since the sheet | seat which forms the exterior member 20 is also cut | disconnected in the cutting | disconnection part 14 when a stretchable elastic member is cut | disconnected, the opening part is formed.
The cutting method may be such that one blade is attached to the roll cutter and the first and second elastic elastic members are cut together, and the blades are attached to two locations of the roll cutter and the first elastic elastic member and the second elastic member. The elastic elastic members may be cut separately, or the elastic elastic materials forming the first and second elastic elastic members may be cut individually, and are not particularly limited.
[0030]
Furthermore, the cut shape may be any shape such as a straight line, a curved line, a circle, and an ellipse, and may be arranged at right angles to the elastic elastic member or may be arranged obliquely. In this embodiment, the linear cut shape is obliquely arranged with respect to the elastic elastic member. However, when the arrangement is made in this way, when the opening is formed in the sheet forming the exterior member, the exterior member is Even if pulled in the vertical direction or the horizontal direction, the opening is difficult to expand, which is preferable.
[0031]
FIG. 3 is a plan view showing a fixed state of the first and second elastic elastic members of the pant-type use diaper of the present invention shown in FIG. In FIG. 3, the first stretchable elastic member 7 and the second stretchable elastic member 8 disposed in the leg opening 5 are bonded and fixed to the exterior member 20 by an adhesive at the fixing portion 12. Furthermore, in the stretchable elastic member discontinuous portion in the crotch portion 11, the fixing portion 13 bonds between the sheets forming the exterior member with an adhesive force weaker than the fixing portion 12 of the leg opening.
[0032]
Since the first elastic elastic member 7 and the second elastic elastic member 8 cut by the elastic elastic member cutting part 14 are not fixed by the adhesive force of the fixing part 13, they are peeled from the sheet by their own contractive force. Although it shrinks, since the surrounding exterior members are bonded, the stretchable elastic member shrinks along the arranged locus, and the adjacent stretchable elastic members do not overlap or break, so that the appearance is good. In addition, by changing the range of the area of the fixed part 12 and the fixed part 13, it is possible to freely adjust the range of the area around the leg that has elasticity and the area of the inseam that does not have elasticity.
[0033]
4 is a cross-sectional view showing a state in which the pant-type use diaper of the present invention shown in FIG. 3 is cut along the line AA ′. In FIG. 4, the pants-type use diaper 1 is formed of an absorbent main body 19 that absorbs excrement and an exterior member 20 that is joined to the absorbent main body 19 and holds it against the wearer. . The absorbent main body 19 is basically formed from a liquid-permeable top sheet 17, a liquid-impermeable back sheet 18, and an absorbent body 10 disposed between these two sheets. Solid gathers 23 are attached to both side edges of the sex main body 19. Furthermore, the exterior member 20 is formed of an outer layer sheet 21 and an inner layer sheet 22 laminated on the inner surface of the outer layer sheet 21, and the first elastic elastic member 7 is disposed between these two sheets. ing.
[0034]
The first elastic elastic member 7 is adhesively fixed to the outer layer sheet 21 with an adhesive 15 in the fixing portion 12 in the leg opening region. Further, in the first elastic elastic member 7, the portion forming the discontinuous portion in the fixing portion 13 of the diaper crotch lower region 11 is initially in a state where the outer layer sheet 21 and the inner layer sheet 22 are bonded by the adhesive 16. Although it is adhered between the sheets, the contraction force of the first elastic elastic member 7 is stronger than the adhesion force with the outer layer sheet 21, so that when it is cut at the crotch region 11, Shrink to form discontinuities. You may perform the adhesion | attachment in the fixing | fixed part 12 of the 1st elastic elastic member 7, and the temporary adhesion | attachment in the fixing | fixed part 13 with the adhesive agent apply | coated to the inner-layer sheet | seat 22 side. The adhesive 15 in the fixing portion 12 and the adhesive 16 in the fixing portion 13 may be the same adhesive or different adhesives. For the adhesive 16, an adhesive having a weak adhesive force is used, or in the case of the same adhesive, the adhesive By reducing the amount of 16 used, it is possible to obtain weak adhesion that can form a discontinuous portion of the elastic elastic member.
[0035]
FIG. 5 is a sectional view of another example showing a state in which the pant-type use diaper of the present invention shown in FIG. 3 is cut along the line AA ′. The first elastic elastic member 7 is bonded and fixed between the two sheets at the fixing portion 12 by the adhesive 15 applied to the outer layer sheet 21 and the adhesive 16 applied to the inner layer sheet 22. Further, the fixing portion 13 of the crotch region 11 forming the discontinuous portion of the first elastic elastic member 7 has the outer layer sheet 21 and the inner layer sheet 22 bonded together by the adhesive 16 applied to the inner layer sheet 22. Since the contraction force of the elastic elastic member when the first elastic elastic member 7 is cut is stronger than the adhesive force between the two sheets and the first elastic elastic member 7, Shrink to form discontinuities.
[0036]
The elastic elastic member is fixed at the fixing portion 12 because the elastic elastic member is sandwiched between the adhesive 15 and the adhesive 16 applied to the outer layer sheet 21 and the inner layer sheet 22, and is firmly bonded and fixed with a small amount of adhesive. In the fixing portion 13 that is a discontinuous formation portion of the elastic elastic member that requires weak adhesion, the amount of the adhesive 16 that is applied to the inner layer sheet 22 can be reduced. A weak adhesion area can be formed. Moreover, you may use the adhesive agent 15 by the side of the outer layer sheet 21 for the adhesive agent which forms a weak adhesion area | region.
[0037]
The first stretchable elastic member 7 and the second stretchable elastic member 8 before being cut at the crotch part are parallel to the width direction of the diaper. A plurality are arranged at intervals. In this case, the 1st elastic elastic member 7 and the 2nd elastic elastic member 8 may mutually be arrange | positioned, and may be arrange | positioned without intersecting.
[0038]
Further, the number of the elastic elastic materials forming the first elastic elastic member 7 and the second elastic elastic member 8 is not particularly limited, and may be the same for the first elastic elastic member 7 and the second elastic elastic member 8. Or different.
[0039]
In the diaper of the present invention, the first elastic elastic member 7 and the second elastic elastic member 8 are discontinuously disposed in the crotch center, and the exterior member is disposed in the discontinuous region of the elastic elastic member. The inner layer sheet and the outer layer sheet to be formed are bonded with an adhesive. In this way, by forming the discontinuous portion of the elastic elastic member in the central portion of the crotch region, the absorbent body does not shrink, so the comfort is improved, and the absorbent body is in the crotch central portion. Since it is no longer pressed by the wearer, a space is easily formed between the wearer and the absorbent body at the center of the crotch, a three-dimensional gathering is easy to stand, and a pocket structure is formed. Since it is not hindered that the absorbent body swells during absorption, the leakage prevention effect is greatly improved.
[0040]
Furthermore, since the discontinuous region of the elastic member is formed by cutting the elastic member in the crotch center region, the sheet forming the exterior member is also cut together to form an opening in the sheet. However, in this region, since the two sheets of the exterior member are bonded with an adhesive, the opening is not widened when the diaper is manufactured or worn, and the strength is maintained.
[0041]
【The invention's effect】
The pants-type use diaper of the present invention comprises an absorbent main body for absorbing excrement and an exterior member that holds the absorbent main body against the wearer, and the front body side and the rear body side of the exterior member are A first elastic elastic member and a second elastic elastic member made of a plurality of elastic elastic materials each extending from one side edge portion to the other side edge portion are disposed, at least a part of which is a leg. An elastic member around the leg is formed by being arranged along the peripheral opening. Moreover, the 1st elastic elastic member and the 2nd elastic elastic member are arrange | positioned discontinuously in the crotch part, and the 2 sheet | seat which forms an exterior member is adhere | attached in the discontinuous part area | region.
The pants-type use diaper of the present invention having such a structure is comfortable to wear, has excellent leakage prevention effect, has excellent strength at the time of manufacturing or wearing diapers, The discontinuities are neatly arranged, so it looks nice.
