BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a disposable paper diaper, and more specifically, a liquid-permeable top sheet that covers the front surface side, a liquid-impermeable back sheet that covers the back surface side, and an absorber disposed between the sheets. The present invention relates to a disposable paper diaper having an underwear sensation by applying color design printing that can be recognized from the outside.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, the basic configuration of disposable paper diapers provided on the market consists of a liquid-permeable top sheet, a liquid-impervious back sheet, and an absorbent body disposed between these sheets. The urine excreted when worn is held mainly by the absorbent body through a liquid-permeable top sheet, and the liquid-permeable back sheet prevents the excrement from leaking outside the paper diaper. It is used for infants and care recipients. In addition, according to the use, such disposable disposable diapers are added elastic elastic members such as waist and legs, gather members, side flaps, or a main body back sheet, etc. to the above-described basic configuration main body. In addition, as a model, there are generally known a type in which a diaper main body is fixed to a waist with a fixing tool such as a tape and a type in which a diaper is formed in advance.
[0003]
By the way, in the above-mentioned conventional disposable diapers, the front body is configured with various patterns and characters that can be recognized from the outside at the time of wearing, for the purpose of displaying the front / rear distinction at the time of wearing or the size, etc. And printed on a part of the back body. In particular, pants-type disposable paper diapers for infants are printed with patterns that are preferred by infants such as animals, vehicles, and characters. FIG. 8 shows an example, and this pants-type disposable paper diaper 100 has a leg opening 101 and a waist opening 102, and is formed by extending between the left and right leg openings. 103 and the back body 104 are bonded and closed by a side seam 105 and formed into a pants shape, and a pattern (design) 106 shaped like an animal (elephant) face is pink or green on a part of the surface of the plain front body 103 Etc. are printed in color. In the figure, 107 and 108 are elastic elastic members made of rubber cords, 109 is a shearing portion, and 110 is an absorber mounted inside.
[0004]
According to the present inventor, such a conventional disposable paper diaper is mainly designed to be printed on a waterproof film located on a part of the stomach (front body) or back (back body). In most cases, it is confirmed that the total area occupied by the colored portion is less than 20% with respect to the total area of the back sheet, which is the surface to which the front body 103 and the back body 104 are combined, that is, the printed surface. .
[0005]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, in the disposable disposable diaper 100 partially designed in this way, the elastic elastic members 107 and 108, specifically the rubber strings attached to the shearing part 109 and the leg opening 101, can be seen from the outside, Since the outer shape of the absorbent body 110 appears clearly on the surface, there is a problem in that it is easily recognized by others that the disposable paper diaper 100 is worn as it is. For this reason, infants, especially infants around the age of being embarrassed, have a resistance to wearing such paper diapers, and even stronger to go out wearing such paper diapers. There was resistance. Such difficulties are not limited to infants, but may be the same for adults who need nursing care.

Therefore, description about the detailed structure of this diaper is abbreviate | omitted.
[0018]
In these figures, 10 is a paper diaper main body, 11 is a liquid-permeable top sheet, 12 is a waterproof film, 13 is an absorbent body, 13A is an upper absorbent body, 13B is a lower absorbent body, 13C and 13D are crepe paper, 14 absorber lifting resilient and elastic members around the leg, 20 the body backsheet 21 is the outer surface backsheet nonwoven, the inner surface backsheet nonwoven 22, 23, 24 around the waist resilient and elastic members, 25 abdominal elastically stretchable Members, 26 is an elastic elastic member for lifting the front body, 27 is a buttocks elastic elastic member, 30 is a gather sheet, 31 is an elastic elastic member for standing, 40 is color design printing, and B1 is a three-dimensional gather. Thus, this paper diaper is provided with the elastic expansion-contraction member in several site | parts.
[0019]
As shown in the figure, the present paper diaper includes a liquid permeable top sheet 11 made of a nonwoven fabric and the like, and a waterproof film 12 made of polyethylene or the like, and a paper diaper body 10 having a structure including an absorbent body 13 made of a cotton-like valve. This is a paper diaper having a structure in which a main body back sheet 20 is integrally provided on the outer surface side.
[0020]
The absorbent body 13 includes an hourglass-shaped upper absorbent body 13A having a large area and a rectangular lower absorbent body 13B having a slightly narrow area, which are surrounded by crepe paper 13C and 13D, and are deformed as a whole. It has a semi-rigid property, and a powdery polymer absorbing polymer is contained inside the upper absorbent body 13A and the lower absorbent body 13B. The liquid-permeable top sheet 11 is fixed to the upper surface of the absorbent body 13 by a hot melt adhesive over substantially the entire surface, and the waterproof film 12 is also fixed to the lower surface of the absorbent body 13 by the hot melt adhesive. A paper diaper main body 10 is configured.
[0021]
On the other hand, three-dimensional gathers B <b> 1 and B <b> 1 are provided by gather sheets 30 and 30 on both sides of the surface of the paper diaper main body 10. As the gather sheet 30, a non-woven fabric subjected to a water repellent treatment is used in order to reduce liquid permeability as much as possible, prevent urine from permeating, prevent fogging, and enhance touch to the skin. .
[0022]
On the other hand, the waterproof film 12 is provided so as to cover the entire back surface of the paper diaper main body 10. The waterproof film 12 is made of a material having moisture permeability from the viewpoint of preventing stuffiness.
[0023]
The main body backsheet 20 is formed by laminating the backsheet nonwoven fabric 22 for the inner surface and the backsheet nonwoven fabric 21 for the outer surface with a hot melt adhesive, and from the paper diaper main body 10 so as to form a flap portion on the front and rear end sides thereof. The outer shape is large, and it has a pseudo hourglass shape as a whole.
[0024]
The disposable diaper main body 10 and the main body back sheet 20 configured as described above are folded inward from the center, and the upper and lower ends of the main body back sheet 20 are adhesively closed in a state where the elastic elastic members 23 and 24 are overlapped. As shown in FIG. 5, a pants-type paper diaper is formed.
[0025]
Here, in the present paper diaper, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, color design printing 40 is performed on the white background portion of the outer surface of the main body backsheet 20, that is, the outer surface of the backsheet nonwoven fabric 21 by a method such as gravure printing. ing. The design of the color design printing 40 is a so-called checkered pattern in which white (ground color) 40A and light blue 40B are alternately arranged over the entire area of the pseudo hourglass-like backsheet nonwoven fabric 21, as shown in FIG. It is configured. In this way, in the present paper diaper, the ratio of the printed portion, that is, the portion colored in the light blue 40B to the entire back surface of the printed surface, that is, the outer backsheet nonwoven fabric 21 is set to 50%. In the present paper diaper, not only the waist elastic elastic members 23 and 24 and the elastic lifting members 14 and 14 for lifting the absorbers around the legs, although not particularly illustrated, the surface of the gather sheet 30, at least FIG. The same color design printing is applied to the surface of the three-dimensional gather B1 shown in FIG.
[0026]
Accordingly, when the present paper diaper is put into a product state as shown in FIG. 5, the elastic elastic members 14 and 14 for lifting the absorber around the legs and the elastic elastic members 23 and 24 around the legs corresponding to the so-called shearing portion. Since the color design printing is also applied, the rubber string attached to this portion is hidden by the printed portion. Similarly, the outer shape of the absorbent body 13 mounted inside is also concealed by this printed part, and the side part of the absorbent body 13 is also concealed by the printed part applied to the three-dimensional gather B1. In appearance, it will be no different from normal underwear. Therefore, according to the present paper diaper, there is an advantage that it can be worn as underwear, and the user can go out with confidence.
[0027]
Further, according to the present paper diaper, the outer side of the absorbent body 10 is firmly guarded by the main body backsheet 20 including the waterproof film 12, the outer backsheet nonwoven fabric 21, and the inner backsheet nonwoven fabric 22. There is an advantage that it does not need to be used separately.
[0028]
The contents of the present invention have been described based on one embodiment. However, the present invention is not necessarily limited to this embodiment, and various changes can be made in configuration.
[0029]
In the above embodiment, the color design is printed on the outer white background portion of the outer backsheet nonwoven fabric 21. However, the outer backsheet nonwoven fabric 21 may be transparent or translucent and printed on the inner surface. Further, for example, as shown in a cross-sectional view in FIG. 6, the main body backsheet 20 ′ is composed of a transparent or translucent inner backsheet nonwoven fabric 22 ′ and an outer backsheet nonwoven fabric 21 ′. A design sheet 50 that has been subjected to color design printing in advance between 'and the waterproof film 12 may be arranged with the printed surface facing the main body back sheet 20' so that the color design can be recognized from the outside. Is possible.
[0030]
In addition, when the back sheet is a disposable paper diaper composed of only the waterproof film 12 without the main body back sheet 20, the color design printing 40 may be applied to the back surface or the inner surface of the waterproof film 12. In addition, it is also possible to print both the design sheet and the main body back sheet 20 'and combine them to form one color design.
[0031]
The color design in the present invention is not limited to the checkerboard pattern. For example, a single pattern such as a waveform, a polka dot, a cloud shape, a star shape, and a lattice arranged substantially uniformly is continuously arranged in a plurality of rows. An appropriate color more than the color may be added and printed, or the single pattern may be formed in a single color to form a ground pattern, and a character pattern may be printed in color on this. FIGS. 7A, 7B, and 7C illustrate these color designs. FIG. 7A shows a color design composed of a grid pattern 60B in which a vertical line is colored red and a horizontal line is green on a white background 60A. (B) shows a color design composed of a star pattern 70B arranged in a scattered manner with respect to a light aqua base 70A and is alternately colored in yellow and purple, and (c) shows a yellow white background 80A. FIG. 5 shows a color design in which a ground pattern formed of a wave pattern 80B colored in blue is combined with a polka dot pattern 80C colored in black. It is desirable that the ratio occupied by the printed portion, that is, the ratio of the colored printing surface to the printing surface is 20% or more. This is because if it is less than 20 percent, there is still a feeling that the disposable diaper area cannot be removed.
[0032]
In particular, when such a color design is applied to a shirring portion, that is, a portion that is tightened by elastic elastic members around the waist and legs, the pattern as described above is taken into account that this portion is contracted. It is desirable to arrange it densely in this part and to print along the circumferential direction of shearing. When printing is performed in this manner, an elastic elastic member such as a rubber string in this portion is further concealed by this printing, and can be brought closer to underwear.
[0033]
As a method for printing the color design as described above, a known printing method such as gravure printing, flexographic printing, or inkjet printing can be applied.
[0034]
In the above embodiment, the pants-type disposable paper diaper has been described. However, the same effect can be obtained even if this is a so-called tape-type disposable paper diaper in which the diaper is fixed to the waist with a fixing device such as a tape. Needless to say. Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the disposable paper diaper which has the abdominal elastic elastic member 25 and the elastic elastic member 26 for raising the front body was illustrated, this invention is applicable also to the disposable paper diaper which does not comprise such an elastic elastic member. .
[0035]
In addition, the color design printing according to the present invention is not limited to the outer surface of the back sheet, and can be sufficiently applied to printing only the three-dimensional gathered portion, the waist elastic elastic member, or the leg elastic elastic member. Even in such a case, it is desirable that the ratio of the colored printing surface to the printing surface is 20% or more.
[0036]
Since this invention is comprised as mentioned above, when it combines with the side part expansion-contraction type diaper which does not have shirring in the abdomen or the back part, it can be brought closer to underwear.
[0037]
【The invention's effect】
As described in detail above, according to the present invention, since the disposable diaper can be worn as an underwear sensation regardless of the type of pants and tapes, not only adults requiring care, but also the ego begins to grow. Even young children with shame can wear it without any resistance and can go out with peace of mind.
[0038]
In addition, since the color design is applied to the entire front and back of the disposable paper diaper, it can be said to be a disposable paper diaper rich in fashion, for example, reminiscent of a kind of shorts.
[0039]
Furthermore, when the disposable paper diaper having the body cover sheet firmly guarding the absorber is used, there is an advantage that a troublesome diaper cover is not required.
