Description

  The present invention relates to an improvement of a container for accommodating a breast milk pad for a breastfeeding mother to interpose between an underwear such as a brassiere and a breast.

Conventionally, such a breast milk pad is used as shown in FIG. 25, for example.
In the figure, breast milk pads 1 and 1 each having a substantially circular dome shape are interposed one by one inside each cup 3 and 3 of the brassiere 2.

  As shown in FIG. 26A, which is a front view, and FIG. 26B, which is a side view, such breast milk pads 1 and 1 are formed in a circular dome shape, and have a plurality of flexible shapes in the thickness direction. It is configured by stacking materials. That is, the breast milk pad 1 arrange | positions a surface material on the inner surface which contacts a user's skin directly, arrange | positions an absorber next, and a liquid oozes out from an absorber at least on the outer side, and it may stain clothes. The waterproof material is laminated so that there is no.

  Further, an adhesive part 4 to which an adhesive or the like is applied is provided at a predetermined position on the surface side of the waterproof material, and the adhesive part 4 is affixed inside the cup 3 of the brassiere 2 as shown in FIG. Use with fixing. Thereby, it is used so that underwear and breast milk pad 1 may not shift.

By the way, when such a breast milk pad 1 is sold, it is folded in half as shown by the arrow in FIG. 27, for example, into a semicircle or half moon as shown in FIG. Packaged one by one.
In this case, the individual container 5 is a bag formed of, for example, a polyethylene film or the like, and in use, a cut provided in the width direction near the center of one surface (upper surface in FIG. 28). Cut along line 5c. Then, from the cut or by using the cut as a clue, one of the upper surface portions, for example, the 5a side is separated as shown in FIG. 28, and the two-fold breast milk pad 1 accommodated therein is taken out.

  And about the taken-out breast milk pad 1, it peels off the release paper 4 demonstrated in FIG. 15 by hand, and is used so that it may mount | wear with the underwear. For this reason, in order to use one breast milk pad 1, the operation | movement which tears the container 5 and the operation | movement which peels the peeling paper 4 of the taken-out breast milk pad 1 are required, and it takes time and is inconvenient. there were.

  The present invention has been made to solve such a problem. A breast milk pad container that can be used immediately after a breast pad is taken out of the container by a simple operation of only breaking the container. The purpose is to provide.

According to the first aspect of the present invention, in order to accommodate a breast milk pad that forms a main body by laminating an absorber that absorbs liquid and a waterproof material disposed outside the absorber. A container constructed by sandwiching the breast pad between one upper and lower belt-shaped members, wherein the breast pad that is folded in half between the upper and lower belt-shaped members Are arranged in a row in the same direction, and the upper and lower belt-like members are bonded to each other along the entire periphery thereof, and are attached to at least one of the belt-like members. Is provided with an opening means along the width direction in a region between the two breast pads, and further, an adhesive portion is provided on the surface side of the waterproof material of the breast pads. The adhering part is configured such that the breast milk pad is accommodated in the container. At state and is temporarily fixed to the inside of the container, the breast pads container is achieved.

According to the structure of Claim 1, since the container was comprised by two strip | belt-shaped members on the upper and lower sides , a container can be easily manufactured by supplying the continuous long sheet-like material in a manufacturing process. .
And, since the two breast pads that are folded in two are arranged continuously in a row in the direction in which the respective bent portions are in the same direction, if the two breast pads are bent and overlapped, In the overlapped state, the bent part and the peripheral part of the breast milk pad become bulky, so that the shape of the container folded in half has the same thickness on the left and right. For this reason, when forming a package by stacking a large number of these containers, it is possible to easily form a package such as a rectangular shape or a rectangular parallelepiped balanced by a flexible material.
In addition, since the upper band-shaped body and the lower band-shaped body are stacked one above the other to form the container, the inner air can be easily expelled and the peripheral edge can be bonded, so that the container does not swell due to air. Therefore, a compact package can be obtained.
Moreover, since two breast pads are formed in one container, if the opening means is opened, the two breast pads can be taken out simultaneously by opening the opening means of one container.
In this case, similarly to the first aspect of the invention, the adhesive part of the breast milk pad can be exposed only by taking out the breast milk pad from the container. For this reason, it is easy to start using, and it is not necessary to clean up garbage such as release paper.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the configuration of the first aspect, the adhesive portion is temporarily fixed to the inside of the container through a peeling means.

According to the configuration of the second aspect, since the breast milk pad is taken out leaving the peeling means on the container body side, it is necessary to clean the removed release paper together with the container body. There is an effect.

A third aspect of the invention is characterized in that, in the configuration of the first or second aspect, a plurality of the bonding portions are provided at symmetrical positions on the surface of the waterproof material of the breast milk pad.

According to the structure of Claim 3, in addition to the effect | action of Claim 1, since the said adhesion part is provided with two or more on the surface of the waterproof material of the said breast milk pad, it is reliably temporarily fixed with respect to a container. In addition, in use, it can be reliably fixed to the back surface of underwear or the like by two or more adhesive portions. Moreover, since the plurality of adhesive portions are provided at positions symmetrical to each other on the surface of the waterproof material, when using the breast milk pad, it can be used without worrying about the direction such as up and down.

According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, in the configuration of the first to third aspects, the container is connected so that the individual packaging units that accommodate the two breast milk pads are continuous, and each individual packaging unit has a width. It has a perforation provided in a direction.

According to the configuration of the fourth aspect, in addition to the effects of the first to third aspects, since the individual packaging units are connected so as to be continuous in a line, they do not fall apart when they are accommodated in the package. There is no advantage. And if it bends and overlaps between two breast pads in the arbitrary places of a continuous individual packaging unit, in the state where it overlapped, the bent part and peripheral part of all the breast pads will become bulky. For this reason, the left and right thicknesses are the same, and a rectangular or rectangular parallelepiped package balanced by a flexible material can be obtained.

  As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to provide a breast pad container that can be used immediately after the milk pad is taken out of the container by a simple operation of only breaking the container.

Preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
The embodiments described below are preferable specific examples of the present invention, and thus various technically preferable limitations are given. However, the scope of the present invention particularly limits the present invention in the following description. As long as there is no description of the effect, it is not restricted to these aspects.

First Embodiment FIG. 1 is a schematic perspective view showing the appearance of a breast milk pad according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a schematic sectional view showing the internal structure of the breast milk pad of FIG. It is.
With reference to these drawings, the structure of the breast milk pad in this embodiment will be described first.

As shown in FIG. 2, the breast milk pad 10 is positioned in front of the breast 14 when the user is wearing it. In this state, the waterproof material 11 is arranged on the outside (left side in FIG. 2) of the breast milk pad 10, and the surface material 13 is arranged on the inner surface side (right side in FIG. 2).
And the absorber 12 is arrange | positioned between the surface material 13 and the waterproof material 11, These surface materials 13, the waterproof material 11, and the absorber 12 are each formed in the substantially circular shape, for example, and are piled up, The main body 18 of the breast milk pad 10 is configured in a stacked state.

Although the waterproof material 11 does not allow liquid to pass through, it is preferable to select a material that is preferably flexible to some extent because it allows water vapor to pass therethrough and prevents moisture. Further, the waterproof material 11 is formed of a flexible material as compared with a conventionally used heat-deformable waterproof material. Moreover, the material which comprises the waterproof material 11 should just be provided with heat resistance and waterproofness, and may not be the material which can be thermally deformed conventionally.
Examples of such materials include polyethylene laminated paper, polyethylene laminated nonwoven fabric, and melt blown nonwoven fabric.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 1, an adhesive portion 4 is provided on the surface of the waterproof material 11. The adhesive portion 4 may be formed by adhering an adhesive applied to the container as will be described later, or the surface of the waterproof material 11 when not having such a structure. The adhesive is applied to the adhesive, and a release paper is pasted thereon to peel it off, so that the adhesive 4 can be attached and fixed inside the cup 3 of the brassiere 2 as described in FIG. It has become. This point will be described in detail later.

  The surface material 13 is a member that is in direct contact with the skin of the user, and a material that is well permeable to moisture such as breast milk and has a good texture is selected. That is, since the surface material 13 directly touches the skin of the user, a material suitable for this is selected in consideration of the good touch without damaging the skin more than necessary. Preferably, a dry mesh sheet (a mesh sheet formed of polyethylene or the like) or a nonwoven fabric is used.

As the absorbent body 12, a material excellent in liquid absorbency is selected, and a fiber body, a laminated body, and a sheet body of pulp are used. Further, in the absorbent body 12, a polymer, which is a granular material made of a material having a function of retaining liquid as it is or semi-solidified or solidified, is used.
As such a material, for example, a water-absorbing polymer is suitable. For example, a polyacrylate copolymer, a hydrolyzate of starch-acrylonitrile graft copolymer, a starch-acrylic acid graft copolymer, polyvinyl Alcohol-acrylate copolymer, modified carboxymethyl cellulose and the like can be mentioned.
And the absorber 12 is wrapped in the tissue 15, as shown in FIG. This prevents the granular polymer and the like from leaking.
As described with reference to FIG. 25, the breast milk pad 10 having the above configuration is folded in half to be semicircular or semilunar and accommodated in the container of FIG.

FIG. 3 shows a container 20 for storing two breast milk pads 10 and unit wrapping them, and shows a first embodiment of the present invention.
In the figure, the container is a strip-like member that is long in one direction, and is supplied as a strip-like polyethylene film, for example, in the manufacturing process described later.
In the film as the container 20 for unit wrapping, a central region 21 having a width and a length sufficient to accommodate the two breast milk pads 10 in series, and a length from each end of the central region 21. Two end regions 22 and 23 connected in the direction are formed.

  As shown in FIG. 4, two breast pads 10, 10 are placed in the central region 21 of the container 20 so as to be arranged in series in the length direction. In this state, each breast milk pad 10, 10 is folded in half as described above and is in the same orientation as shown in FIG. For example, in the figure, the directions are aligned so that the R-shaped peripheral edge of each of the two-fold breast milk pads 10, 10 is located on the upper side.

Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 4, the end regions 22 and 23 of the container 20 are folded back so that the end surfaces thereof face each other.
Here, as shown by a virtual straight line L in FIG. 4, when dividing the central region 21 to be placed at equal distances, that is, between the breast pads 10 placed in the central region 21. Further, the area is divided. Then, the side edge portions of the central region 21 at positions corresponding to the side edge portions 22a, 22b, 23a, 23b of the end regions 22, 23 are defined as 21a, 21b, 21c, 21d. In the manufacturing process described later, the side edges 22a of the end region 22 are below the side edges 21a of the central region 21 and the side edges 22b of the end region 22 are below them. The side edge 21b of the central region 21 located at the side, the side edge 23a of the end region 23 are the side edge 21c of the central region 21 located below it, and the side edge 23b of the end region 23 is below it. Are fixed to the side edge portions 21e of the central region 21 located at the center.
In addition, this fixing step can actually be performed in a later step than the step of FIG. 6, as will be described later.

Thereby, as shown in FIG. 5 which shows the cross section in the direction orthogonal to the virtual straight line L in FIG. 4, the bag-like portions 23 and 24 correspond to the end regions 22 and 23, respectively. It is formed. One breast milk pad 10 is accommodated in each of the bag-like portions 22 and 23.
Preferably, for example, if a fixing tape 26 is applied as a fixing means between the end regions 22 and 23, the end surfaces of the end regions 22 and 23 are substantially closed, which is sanitary.

Further, the bag-like portions 22 and 23 are overlapped with each other as shown by arrows in FIGS. Thereby, the whole container 20 turns into a double fold unit package as shown in FIG.
In this state, the folded breast milk pads 10 and 10 are stacked in opposite directions in the container 20. For this reason, the left side thickness T1 (height) and right side in the figure of the container 20 are shown. The thickness T2 (height) of each of them is almost equal.

FIG. 7 shows a modification of the above embodiment in a different packaging manner by the container 20.
In FIG. 7, only the end region 22 of the container 30 enters between the breast pads 10, 10. In this state, the central region and the other end region 23 of the container 30 are separated from the breast pads 10, 10. It is packaged so that it surrounds 10.
Even in such a packaging form, the folded breast milk pads 10 and 10 are overlapped in the container 30 so that the thicknesses on the left side and the right side in the figure of the container 20 are the same. Almost equal.

Second Embodiment FIG. 8 shows a second embodiment of the present invention.
In the second embodiment, since the same reference numerals as those in the first embodiment described above are the same in configuration, the overlapping description will be omitted, and differences will be mainly described.
In the figure, the container 40 has the same material as the container of the first embodiment, and accommodates one breast pad 10. For this reason, in the figure of the container 40 of FIG. 8, the left and right lengths are smaller than those in the first embodiment.

In the figure, an adhesive portion 4 is located on the lower surface of the breast milk pad 10 (the surface of the waterproof material), and a release paper 42 is affixed to the adhesive portion 4. The release paper 42 is fixed to an adhesive portion 43 formed on the inner surface of the container 40.
That is, in this case, the bonding portion 4 and the bonding portion 43 are formed so that the bonding force is stronger than that of the bonding portion 4 by means such as using different adhesives.

The second embodiment is configured as described above, and the user can take out the breast milk pad 10 only by breaking the container 40. When this breast milk pad 10 is taken out, the temporary fixation with the release paper 42 is released. This is because the adhesive force of the adhesive portion 43 between the container 40 and the release paper 42 is stronger than the adhesive force of the adhesive portion 4 between the breast milk pad 10 and the release paper 42. At the same time, the release paper 42 is peeled off from the breast milk pad 40 and the adhesive portion 4 is exposed.
Therefore, also in this embodiment, the user can take out one breast milk pad 10 in a state in which the bonding portion 4 is exposed, only by breaking the container 40.

Third Embodiment FIG. 9 shows a third embodiment of the present invention.
In the third embodiment, since the same reference numerals as those in the first or second embodiment described above are the same in configuration, the overlapping description will be omitted, and differences will be mainly described.
In the figure, the container 50 accommodates one breast pad 10, and the container 50 is the same as the container of the first embodiment and the material thereof is the same as that of the first embodiment. Points smaller than the form are the same as in the case of the second embodiment.

In FIG. 9, a peeling portion 51 is formed on the inner surface of the container 50. The peeling portion 51 forms a smooth surface that is easier to peel than the inner surface of the container 50 where the peeling portion 51 is not formed. The peeling portion 51 is formed of, for example, a silicon-coated polyethylene film.
On the other hand, the bonding portion 4 is located on the lower surface (the surface of the waterproof material) of the breast milk pad 10, and the peeling portion 51 is temporarily fixed to the bonding portion 4.

3rd Embodiment is comprised as mentioned above and the user can take out the breast milk pad 10 only by tearing the container 50. FIG. When this breast milk pad 10 is taken out, the bonding portion 4 is exposed. In other words, the bonding portion 4 is provided with the container 5.
Since it is only temporarily fixed to the peeling portion 51 that is particularly easy to peel off, the temporary fixing between the bonding portion 4 of the breast milk pad 10 and the peeling portion 51 is performed simultaneously with the operation of taking out the breast milk pad 10 from the container 50. It is easily released and the bonding portion 4 is exposed.
Therefore, also in this embodiment, the user can take out one breast milk pad 10 in a state in which the bonding portion 4 is exposed, by merely breaking the container 50.
In addition, although 2nd and 3rd embodiment demonstrated the case where one breast milk pad 10 was accommodated in the container, two breast pads are accommodated in the container and the adhesion part is made into the inner surface of a container. It may be temporarily fixed. In this case, the directions of the two breast milk pads 10 may be accommodated in different directions instead of the same direction as described in FIGS.

10 to 16 simply show a packaging process of the breast pad container 20 provided in the latter half of the manufacturing process of the breast pad 10 as described above.
In FIG. 10, a container material 31 made of a film or the like to be a container extending long along the conveyance direction A is sent onto a conveyance means such as a conveyor (not shown) of the production line. The container material 31 has a belt shape extending long in a direction orthogonal to the direction in which the container 20 in FIG. 3 extends.

As shown in FIG. 10, two pairs of breast milk pads 10, 10 are arranged with the same orientation (as described above) so as to be aligned in the width direction of the container material 31. Further, along the transport direction A, the other sets of breast milk pads 10 and 10 are sequentially sent at equal intervals.
Here, adhesives 32 and 33 such as hot melt are applied to the surface of the container material 31 at positions corresponding to the surface of the waterproof material 11 of each breast milk pad 10, and each breast milk pad 10 is placed thereon. It is burned. Thereby, the adhesion part 4 is formed in the waterproofing material 11 surface of each breast pad 10 placed on the top.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 11, the side edge sides 34 and 35 of the container material 31 are folded back toward each other. The side edge sides 34 and 35 correspond to the end regions 22 and 23 of the container 20 in the unit package, respectively.

Further, as shown in FIG. 12, the container material 31 is folded at a position corresponding to the virtual straight line L of FIG. 4, and the breast milk pads 10, 10 overlap each other in the direction shown in FIG. 6. It will be.
Then, as shown in FIG. 13, in the next step, for each container 20 forming each unit package, the intermediate portion 36 is fixed by, for example, heat sealing. This step is shown in FIGS. This is a fixing step for forming the bag-like portions 24 and 25 described in the above.
In addition, each container 20 is cut by the fixing portion 36, whereby the breast milk pad container 20 as a product of unit packaging is completed.

Next, as shown in FIG. 14, a large number of breast milk pad containers 20 are stacked. In this case, as described with reference to FIG. 6, since the thickness of the whole breast milk pad container 20 is finished to be the same, it can be stably stacked.
Then, a plurality of breast milk pad containers 20 stacked as shown in FIG. 15 are arranged in a plurality of rows in parallel, compressed by applying a load from the periphery as shown by arrows, and package material as shown in FIG. Wrap with 37.

  In this case, the large number of breast milk pad containers 20 stacked vertically and horizontally become a substantially accurate rectangular or rectangular parallelepiped, and therefore can be packaged with a packaging material 37 such as polyethylene having flexibility and waterproofness. Compared with a package made of a paper box that is difficult to handle, it is extremely easy to handle in each process of distribution.

In addition to the package performance described above, the breast milk pad container 20 of the present embodiment has the following various advantages.
That is, as described above, since the two breast milk pads 10 and 10 can be made into one unit package, the breast milk pads 10 and 10 are attached to the cups 3 and 3 of the brassiere 2 as described in FIG. When trying to attach each, it can be set as a convenient unit package corresponding to the unit used.
Further, when only one breast pad 10 is to be used, one end region 22 or 23 of the breast pad container 20 shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 is picked and either one of the bag-like portions 24 and 25 is removed. The breast milk pad container 20 can be folded in two as shown in FIG.

  This is also the case in the modified example of FIG. 7, and in the breast milk pad container 30 of FIG. 7, holding one end of the end region 23 with fingers and opening the breast pad container 30, In the figure, the lower breast milk pad 10 can be easily taken out.

Further, as shown in FIG. 3, when the adhesive 32 or 33 is applied to the inner surface of the container 20 in advance, either one of the bag-like portions 24 and 25 is removed to take out the breast milk pad 10. The adhesive part 4 can be exposed to the surface (surface of the waterproof material 11) only.
That is, when the user holds the breast milk pad container 20 in the state of FIG. 6, the user opens the state of FIG. 6 to FIG. 5, picks one end region 22 or 23, and As shown in FIG. 25, it is possible to attach to the undergarment by using one of the adhesive portions 4 as shown in FIG. Therefore, the conventional troublesome procedure of individually packaging the breast milk pad and removing the release paper one by one is omitted, and can be used easily.
Moreover, since the release paper does not remain as dust, there is no inconvenience of processing unnecessary release paper even when it is used on the go, and it is extremely functional and easy to use.

Fourth Embodiment FIG. 17 shows a fourth embodiment of the present invention.
In this 4th Embodiment, since the structure of the breast milk pad 10 is the same as the above-mentioned 1st thru | or 3rd embodiment, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected and the overlapping description is abbreviate | omitted. In addition, since the location which attached | subjected the code | symbol same as 1st thru | or 3rd Embodiment is a common structure, the overlapping description is abbreviate | omitted and it demonstrates centering on difference.

FIG. 17 shows a container 60 for accommodating two breast milk pads 10 for unit packaging (individual packaging).
In the figure, the breast milk pad container 60 is a band-shaped member that is long in one direction, each consisting of an upper band-shaped body 61 and a lower band-shaped body 62, and these are the same, and in the manufacturing process described later, It is supplied as a polyethylene film made into a band.
In this breast milk pad container (hereinafter referred to as “container”) 60, as shown in FIG. 17, two breast pads 10, 10 are placed on the lower belt-like body 62. In this state, each breast milk pad 10, 10 is folded in half as described above, and is oriented in the same direction as shown in FIG. For example, the orientations are aligned so that the bent portions 10b and 10b of the two-fold breast milk pads 10 and 10 face the lower right side in the figure.

In this state, the upper belt-like body 61 is overlaid from above. Then, the two breast milk pads 10 and 10 are sandwiched between the upper belt 61 and the lower belt 62, and the peripheral edge 61a of the upper belt 61 and the peripheral belt 62a indicated by hatching of the lower belt 62 are described later. Thus, for example, it is bonded by heat sealing or the like.
Further, the upper belt upper body 61 is provided with, for example, a perforation 64 as opening means along the width direction in the vicinity of the center, and the container 60 is broken by breaking the perforation. The respective breast milk pads 10, 10 can be taken out of the body.
18 is a cross-sectional view taken along line AA in FIG.
In the figure, in the container 60, each of the two folded breast milk pads 10, 10 is housed in a line with the peripheral edge portion 10a and the bent portion 10b aligned in the same direction. Each breast milk pad 10, 10 is provided with adhesive portions 11 a, 11 a formed by applying an adhesive, for example, at two locations on the surface of each waterproof material 11. Release papers 65 and 65 serving as peeling means are temporarily fixed to the adhesive portions 11a and 11a. Further, the release papers 65 and 65 are bonded to the upper belt-like body 61 and the lower belt-like body 62, respectively. It is fixed by the parts 61b and 62b.

In this case, the bonding portions 11a and 11a (first bonding portions) and the corresponding bonding portions 61b and 62b (second bonding portions) corresponding to the bonding portions 11a and 11a (second bonding portions), for example, by means of using different adhesives, etc. It is comprised so that it may have different adhesive force.
That is, the adhesive portions 61b and 62b are formed so that the adhesive force is stronger than the adhesive portions 11a and 11a.

  For this reason, the user can take out the breast milk pad 10 only by breaking the container 60. That is, when the breast milk pad 10 is taken out, the temporary fixing with the release paper 65 is released, and the release paper remains on the side of the adhesive portions 61b and 62b having a stronger adhesive force than the adhesive portions 11a and 11a. As a result, when the breast milk pad 10 is taken out, the two adhesive portions 11a and 11a are exposed on the surface of the waterproofing material 11, thereby fixing the inner side of the underwear as will be described later with reference to FIG. Can do.

  Moreover, in this breast milk pad 10, since there are two adhesive portions (11a, 11a) as fixing means for the underwear, it can be firmly fixed. In addition, as shown in FIGS. 25 and 26, when one adhesive portion 4 is eccentrically present on the surface of the circular waterproof material, directionality occurs due to the relationship with the attachment position to the underwear. In the case of the form, since the two adhesive portions 11a and 11a are provided at symmetrical positions of the circular waterproof material 11, since there is no such directionality, the usability is improved accordingly. This point will be described in detail later.

When the container 60 is bent as shown by the arrow from the state shown in FIG. 18 with the virtual center line CC as a boundary, the unit package is folded in two as shown in FIG. It becomes.
In the case of FIG. 19, the above-described bonding portions are not shown.

  In FIG. 19, in this state, the folded breast milk pads 10, 10 are stacked in opposite directions in the container 60. For this reason, the left side thickness T <b> 1 ( The height) and the right thickness T2 (height) are substantially equal.

20 to 23 show a process of packaging the breast milk pad 10 in such a container 60.
The breast milk pad 10 is fed in the direction of the arrow by a conveyor belt 71 such as a conveyor belt in a folded state as described in FIG. At this time, in the conveying means 71, on the outer side in the folded state of the breast milk pad 10, that is, on the surface of the waterproof material 11 described above, on the upper side and the lower side in the figure, the adhesive portions 11a and 11a Are sent in a state in which release papers 65 and 65 are pasted. In this case, as described above, each breast milk pad 10 is aligned in the same direction and sequentially conveyed in a row.

In the vicinity of the terminal end of the conveying means 71, a suction drum 72 that rotates in the direction of the arrow is arranged. The suction drum 72 sequentially sucks the breast milk pad 10 sent by the transport means 71 on its outer peripheral surface by means such as vacuum suction.
In the subsequent stage of the suction drum 72, a process is arranged in which the upper strip 61 sent from above and the lower strip 62 sent from below are overlapped. Here, the breast milk pad 10 fed by the suction drum 72 is sandwiched between the upper belt-like body 61 and the lower belt-like body 62.

  In this case, an adhesive such as a rubber-based or olefin-based hot melt is applied to the lower belt side of the upper strip 61 by a supply means 73 such as a dispenser on the lower surface side. Further, before the superposition of the lower belt-like body 62, an adhesive such as a rubber-based or olefin-based hot melt is applied to the upper surface side by a supply means 74 such as a dispenser. Thus, when sandwiched between the upper belt 61 and the lower belt 62, the adhesives adhere to the surface sides of the upper and lower release papers 65, 65 of the breast milk pad 10, and the bonding portion 61b and the bonding portion 62 b is formed at the same time, and the breast milk pad 10 is temporarily fixed inside the strips 61 and 62.

Next, the peripheral portions 61a and 62b of the upper and lower belt-like bodies 61 and 62 that are overlaid are bonded together by heat sealing or the like, resulting in the state shown in FIG.
Then, as shown in FIG. 21, the product from a state in which individual packaging units (units in which two breast milk pads 10, 10 are surrounded by a peripheral heat seal) in which two breast milk pads 10, 10 are packaged are continuous. Cut along the cutting line 75 so as to form a unit package, cut as shown in FIG. 22, and obtain a container 60 as a product unit before folding the package in half.
And in this case, since the breast milk pads 10 and 10 do not fold in the process before the peripheral heat seal, the belts 61 and 62 are not folded in the process, but are closely overlapped with each other. Air can be purged almost completely from between the belt-like strips 61 and 62, and the bag-shaped inner side of the individual packaging unit does not swell after heat sealing. Can do.

Next, as shown in FIG. 23, each of the separated containers 60 is sent in the direction of the arrow by the conveying means 44, and a temporary fixing rubber-based or olefin-based hot is provided by a supply means 76 such as a dispenser. An adhesive 78 made of melt or the like is applied. Thereby, when the pad container 60 is folded in half as described with reference to FIG. 18, the inner surfaces are temporarily fixed to each other and prevented from opening. In this state, foreign matter or the like is prevented from entering from the perforation.
Further, the pad container 60 is further fed sequentially, and is bent at the virtual center line C-C described with reference to FIG. The container 60 is guided between the conveying means 82 and the conveying means 83 and sent in the direction of the arrow.

  As a result, the pad container 60 is folded one by one to be in the same state as the container 20 of FIG. 14, and thereafter packaged and packaged in exactly the same manner as the container 20 of FIGS. Can do.

Thus, according to the present embodiment, as described with reference to FIG. 20, since the adhesive is applied to the inner surface of the container 60 in advance, the perforation 64 is broken and the breast milk pad 10 is taken out. As a result, the release sheets 65 and 65 remain on the container side in a state of being adhered to the adhesive portion 61b of the upper belt-like body 61 and the adhesive portion 62b of the lower belt-like body 62, and the surface of the breast milk pad 10 (the surface of the waterproof material 11). In addition, the two bonding portions 11a and 11a can be exposed.
That is, when the user holds the breast milk pad container 60 in the state of FIG. 19, it opens to the state of FIGS. 19 to 18, breaks the perforation 64, and the breast milk pad accommodated. As shown in FIG. 24, it is possible to attach to the undergarment 2 by using the adhesive portions 11a and 11a only by taking out 10. Therefore, the troublesome procedure of removing the packaging and removing the release paper one by one for each breast milk pad individually packaged as in the past can be omitted and used easily.
Moreover, since the release paper does not remain as dust, there is no inconvenience of processing unnecessary release paper even when it is used on the go, and it is extremely functional and easy to use.
The perforation 64 is an example of an opening means, and the opening means is not limited to the perforation, and a band-shaped member is simply cut in the width direction, or a seal is attached to the cut portion for sealing. Alternatively, the cut portion material may be slightly overlapped.

Further, as shown in FIG. 24, in this breast milk pad 10, two adhesive portions 11 a and 11 a are provided at symmetrical positions with respect to the center of the circular waterproof material 11 that becomes the surface side (outside) in use. Have. For this reason, as shown in the figure, when being accommodated and mounted in, for example, the cup 3 of the brassiere 2 as an undergarment, it is temporarily fixed to the inner surface of the cup 3 at two locations.
Thereby, the breast milk pad 10 is held in the cup 3 more securely than in the case of FIG. Moreover, since the bonding portions 11a and 11a of the breast milk pad 10 are formed at symmetrical positions of the waterproof material 11 as described above, for example, the direction of the arrow in FIG. Even if it is used regardless, the same temporary fixing effect can be obtained, and the usability is improved accordingly.

The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment.
For example, the body 18 of the breast milk pad 10 does not need to be circular, and may be of other shapes. Further, the housing material in the main body 18 may be other than the above-described members.
Moreover, the waterproof material 11, the surface material 13, and the absorber 12 can select various materials other than the material of the above-mentioned embodiment description.
And as above-mentioned, the adhesive part provided in the waterproof material 11 may provide not only one place or two places but many more than this in the mutually symmetrical position.
Moreover, you may select and combine each component of each above-mentioned embodiment arbitrarily.
