Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to improvements in absorbent articles for pets such as disposable diapers for pets and absorbent articles for sanitary use.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Some conventional pet diapers have a T-shaped body. The T-shaped diaper is composed of a belt-like portion extending from side to side and a rear portion (main body portion) extending perpendicularly from the center of the belt-like portion. A hole is formed at a position corresponding to the tail of the main body. In use (wearing), a belt-like portion is wound from the pet's stomach side to the back side, and the diaper is fixed to the body of the pet. Then pass the pet's tail through the hole in the body. The hole through the pet's tail cannot be designed to be larger than necessary with respect to the diameter of the tail to prevent leakage from there.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
In the conventional pet diaper as described above, it is necessary to grasp the pet's tail by hand and pass it through the hole when the diaper is mounted. For this reason, pets often dislike wearing diapers. Also, it has been difficult to smoothly perform the operation of passing the tail of the pet through the hole formed in the diaper.
[0004]
By the way, there are various types of pets. If a tail hole is formed at a fixed position in the main body as in the conventional case, depending on the pet, it may not be properly mounted. As a result, the diaper shifts and the excrement leaks.
[0005]
The present invention has been made in view of the above situation, and an object thereof is to provide a pet diaper that is easy to wear. Another object of the present invention is to provide a pet diaper that can flexibly cope with pets having different body shapes and physiques and has excellent fit.
[0006]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to achieve the above object, a pet diaper according to the first aspect of the present invention is disposed along the torso of the pet and has a front end and a rear end located on the pet face side and tail side. A main body; an absorber that absorbs pet excrement in the main body; a body-fixing band extending in a direction orthogonal to the main body at a front end of the main body; and a rear side of the main body Two butt-fixing strips formed by dividing the end into two parts on the right and left; an adhesive means for bonding the ends of the two butt-fixing strips and the body-fixing strip And. When the diaper is mounted, the torso fixing band-like portion is wound around the pet torso and fixed so that the ends of the two buttocks fixing band-like portions cross each other so as to wrap around the pet's buttocks. At the same time, the end portions of the two buttocks fixing strips are bonded to the trunk fixing strip by the bonding means.
[0007]
In the invention according to claim 1 as described above, the belt is provided with two buttocks fixing belt-like portions formed by dividing the rear end portion of the main body portion into two parts, and the torso fixing belt-like portion is used as the body fixing belt-like portion. After wrapping and fixing to the torso, the ends of the two buttocks-fixing strips cross each other so as to wrap the pet's buttocks, and the ends of the two buttocks-fixing strips by adhesive means Is bonded to the body-fixing belt-like portion, so that the ease of mounting is improved and there is an advantage that it can be applied to pets of different body shapes and physiques. In other words, it is not necessary to pass the tail of the pet through the hole in the main body, and therefore it is possible to attach the diaper without grasping the tail of the pet. Further, since the position corresponding to the tail of the pet is variable depending on the way of wearing (the angle of the belt portion for fixing the buttocks), it can be fitted to pets of different body shapes and physiques. As a result, there is no diaper shift and it is possible to prevent leakage of excrement.
[0008]
In the invention described in claim 2, the two buttocks fixing band-like portions are formed by making a cut in the main body, and the cut does not reach the absorber. With such a configuration, excrement such as urine soaked into the absorber can be prevented from leaking from the cut.
[0009]
According to a third aspect of the present invention, the bonding means includes a hook portion of a mechanical fastener provided at an end portion of the two buttocks fixing band-like portions; and an outer surface of the trunk fixing belt-like portion. And a loop portion of a mechanical fastener. By adjusting the bonding position between the end of the buttocks fixing band and the body fixing band, it is possible to flexibly cope with the physique and body shape of the pet to be worn.
[0010]
According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, the two buttocks fixing band-like portions are provided with an adhesive means for fixing the belt-like portions in the vicinity of the tail of the pet. With such a configuration, it is possible to suppress leakage of excrement from the vicinity of the tail.
[0011]
In a fifth aspect of the present invention, a dissimilar member having rigidity different from that of the main body is disposed at the end portion of the cut. For example, as described in claim 6, the dissimilar member is formed in a U-shape so as to extend along both sides of the cut and to surround the terminal portion of the cut. With such a configuration, the main body part breaks from the base (end part on the absorber side) of the dissimilar member, and excrement such as urine is difficult to leak.
[0012]
In the invention described in claim 7, the two buttocks fixing band-like portions are formed so that the width becomes narrower toward the outer end portion. With such a configuration, it becomes easy to mount the butt-fixing band-like portion so as to intersect from both sides of the pet's tail.
[0013]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The name of the invention in this specification is “diaper”, but in addition to diapers, the present invention is not limited to practical products such as sanitary absorbent articles for pets having a tail, but also fashionable clothing, etc. It can be widely applied to pet wearing articles.
[0014]
FIG. 1 is a plan view (inner side) showing the structure of a pet diaper 10 according to a first embodiment of the present invention. In the present embodiment, the ends located on the face side and the tail side along the pet's torso (48) are referred to as the front side and the rear side end. 1 and 2, the upper side corresponds to the pet's head side (front side), and the lower side corresponds to the pet's buttocks side (rear side). FIG. 2 is a plan view (outside) showing the structure of the pet diaper 10. FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view in the II direction of FIG. The pet diaper according to the present embodiment includes a main body 12 having a rectangular shape as a whole; a body fixing belt-like portion 14 extending in a direction orthogonal to the main body 12 at the front end of the main body 12; And an absorber 16 for absorbing pet excreta. As shown in FIG. 3, the absorbent body 16 is disposed between a liquid-permeable top sheet 40 and a waterproof back sheet 42.
[0015]
The absorber 16 is not disposed at the rear end portion of the main body 12 and a slit 22 is formed at the center. The slit 22 forms two tail fixing band portions 24a and 24b. Rectangular fixing tapes 26a and 26b are provided at the ends of the two tail fixing bands 24a and 24b, respectively. As the fixing tapes 26a and 26b, for example, the male side (hook member) of a mechanical fastener can be used. An adhesive tape 20 is formed on the inner side of one butt fixing band 24a to be bonded to the other butt fixing band 24b. As the adhesive tape 20, for example, the male side (hook member) of a mechanical fastener can be used.
[0016]
It is preferable that the widths of the band portions 24a and 24b for fixing the butt portion are, for example, around 50 mm, respectively. If the widths of the buttocks fixing strips 24a and 24b are too wide, it becomes difficult to cross the strips with the back of the pet. On the other hand, if the width is too narrow, it is difficult to ensure the adhesive strength with the body fixing belt-like portion.
[0017]
The rear (lower) end of the absorbent body 16 is disposed 10 mm away from the slit 22. In the present embodiment, the absorber 16 is structured so as not to reach the rear side of the pet's tail, and the back of the pet is prevented from being soiled by excreted urine or the like. As the shape of the absorbent body 16, in addition to a rectangle, it is possible to adopt a shape in which the crotch portion (near the center) is narrow, such as an hourglass shape and a hammer shape with the upper and lower sides widened.
[0018]
The shape of the slit 22 is not limited to a simple linear shape, and may be a waveform shape or a zigzag shape. Further, for example, a circular cutout having a width of about 15 mm may be formed at the end of the slit 22 on the absorber 16 side, and the absorber 16 side of the main body 12 can be made difficult to tear. Solid gathers 18 are provided on both sides of the absorber 16.
[0019]
At the front (upper) ends of the tail-fixing strips 24a and 24b, urethane foam 28, which is higher in rigidity than the material of the main body 14 but is relatively flexible, is provided. For this reason, when the tail fixing strips 24a, 24b are crossed at the pet's bottom, the strips 24a, 24b fit the tail 50, and the fit of the diaper 10 as a whole is improved.
[0020]
The shape of the body fixing band 14 is, for example, 60 mm wide and 500 mm long. An elastic member 32 such as rubber thread is disposed at the front end (side) of the body fixing belt-like portion 14. As the elastic member 32, for example, three rubber threads of 840 dtex are fixed by double expansion / contraction. As a result, it is possible to firmly fix to animals having different torso dimensions. In addition, as the elastic member 32, flat rubber or the like can be used in addition to the thread rubber, or the body fixing belt-like portion 14 itself can be formed of urethane foam, a film having elasticity or the like.
[0021]
As shown in FIG. 2, the fuselage fixing belt-like portion 14 is formed with an adhesive region 34 that adheres to the fixing tapes 26a and 26b. The adhesive region 34 corresponds to the structure of the fixing tapes 26a and 26b, and uses the female side (loop member) of the mechanical fastener. A fuselage fixing adhesive tape 36 is provided at one end of the fuselage fixing strip 14. Corresponding to the loop member of the adhesive region 34, the male side (hook member) of the mechanical fastener is used as the adhesive tape 36.
[0022]
Next, the usage method of the pet diaper which concerns on a present Example is demonstrated with reference to FIGS. First, as shown in FIG. 4, the front half of the diaper main body 12 is applied to the lower side of the pet body 48. Next, the body fixing band 14 is wound around the pet body 48 and fixed by the adhesive tape 36. Thereafter, the tail fixing strips 24a and 24b at the rear end are lifted, and as shown in FIG. 5, the strips 24a and 24b are sandwiched so as to sandwich the tail 50 from both left and right sides and wrap around the tail. Cross.
[0023]
Thereafter, the fixing tapes 26 a and 26 b are bonded onto the bonding region 34 of the body fixing belt 14. Thereby, as shown in FIG. 6, the diaper 10 which concerns on a present Example is fixed with respect to a pet.
