Description

  The present invention relates to an absorbent article.

Conventionally, pants-type or tape-type disposable paper diapers are known as absorbent articles. A general disposable paper diaper includes an absorbent main body that contains an absorbent that absorbs body fluid such as urine, and an exterior body that is integrally provided on the outer surface side of the absorbent main body. A side part and a back side part are joined in the joint part of the both ends, and a waist opening part and a pair of left and right leg circumference parts are formed.
In such a disposable diaper, the waist portion may be greatly displaced due to an operation during wearing (for example, when the legs are opened / closed, when walking, a transition operation between a standing position and a sitting position). In this case, the close contact state between the absorbent main body and the human body is deteriorated, the fit feeling is impaired, and liquid leakage is liable to occur from the leg periphery.
Therefore, by attaching the elastic member in a stretched state from the stomach side to the back side of the disposable diaper, the absorbent main body is lifted upward by the contraction force of the elastic member, and the close contact state between the human body and the absorbent main body is maintained. A paper diaper that has been adapted is proposed (for example, Patent Document 1).

JP 2004-350809 A

  In the paper diaper described in Patent Document 1, the elastic member is attached in a considerably stretched state in order to apply a contraction force that lifts the absorbent main body upward when the paper diaper is displaced.

In the following description, in a state where the disposable diaper in the present embodiment is unfolded, the side positioned on the abdomen side of the human body (wearer) at the time of wearing is the front side, the side positioned on the back side is the back side, The direction opposite to the side in contact with the wearer is the bottom, and the direction perpendicular to the front-rear direction and the vertical direction is the left-right direction.

FIG. 1 is an external view showing a product state of the disposable diaper according to the first embodiment, and FIG. 2 is a developed plan view. 3 is a plan view of the absorbent main body as viewed from above, and FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view taken along line AA in FIG.
As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, the disposable diaper 1 includes an absorbent main body 10 that contains an absorbent body 13 (absorbent core 131) that absorbs body fluid, and an exterior that is integrally provided on the outer surface side of the absorbent main body 10. The body 20 is provided. In the paper diaper 1, the outer surface of the absorbent main body 10 (the lower surface of the back sheet 12) is bonded to the inner surface of the outer package 20 (the surface that comes into contact with the wearer when worn) with, for example, a hot-melt adhesive. Thus, the absorbent main body 10 and the exterior body 20 are integrated. Then, the exterior body 20 and the absorbent main body 10 are bent so as to be bent at the approximate center in the longitudinal direction (front-rear direction), and the front side (abdominal side portion 20F: a portion covering the abdomen of the wearer) and the rear side (back). Side part 20B: The part which covers a wearer's back part) The both sides edge part is piled up and joined, and abdominal side part F, back side part B, crotch M, waist opening W, and a pair of right and left leg circumference A paper diaper 1 having portions L and L is formed.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the outer package 20 has an outer shape in which the center in the longitudinal direction is constricted in the developed state. The exterior body 20 includes an outer layer sheet 21 that forms the exterior body 20, and a waistline sheet 22 that is adhered to the abdominal side F and back side B on the inner side (skin contact surface side) of the outer layer sheet 21. ing. As shown in FIG. 4, the outer layer sheet 21 has a configuration in which an upper layer nonwoven fabric 21a and a lower layer nonwoven fabric 21b are adhered.

In the ventral side portion 20F and the back side portion 20B of the exterior body 20, a plurality of waist elastic members 23, 23,... Along the width direction are predetermined in the front-rear direction in a region near the edge forming the waist opening W. Are arranged in parallel. Further, in the abdomen side portion 20F and the back side portion 20B of the exterior body 20, a plurality of waist elastic members 24, 24,. They are arranged in parallel at a predetermined interval. Note that the boundary between the waist elastic member 23 and the waist elastic member 24 is not necessarily clear.
When the paper diaper 1 is worn, the waist around the wearer is tightened by the elastic force of the waist elastic member 23, and the waist around the wearer is tightened by the elastic force of the waist elastic member 24. Thereby, the whole surface of the stomach side part F and the back side part B of the paper diaper 1 closely_contact | adheres to a wearer.

  Although not shown, a plurality of elastic members around the legs having a substantially U shape are provided in a region extending from the abdominal side portion 20F to the crotch portion 20M and a region extending from the back side portion 20B to the crotch portion 20M. Are arranged in parallel in the front-rear direction at a predetermined interval. Specifically, the leg-around elastic member (not shown) is formed on the crotch 20M side along the edge that forms the leg-opening L from one side end of the abdomen side portion 20F or the back side portion 20B of the exterior body 20. And is disposed so as to reach the other side end of the abdominal side portion 20F or the back side portion 20B so as to bypass the substantially center of the crotch portion 20M in the width direction. When the disposable diaper 1 is worn, the leg circumference and crotch of the wearer are tightened by the elastic force of the leg elastic member (not shown), so that the crotch part M of the disposable diaper 1 is in close contact with the wearer.

The above-described waist elastic member 23, waist elastic member 24, and leg elastic member (not shown) are made of elastic elastic material that deforms in response to the addition or removal of external force. Examples of the elastic stretchable material include materials such as styrene rubber, olefin rubber, urethane rubber, ester rubber, polyurethane, polyethylene, polystyrene, styrene butadiene, silicon, and polyester.
When the waist elastic member 23, the waist elastic member 24 or the leg elastic member (not shown) is formed of a thread-like elastic elastic material (so-called thread rubber), it is preferable to use a material having a thickness of 620 dtex or less. As the waist elastic member 23, the waist elastic member 24, or the leg elastic member (not shown), a tape-like elastic elastic member having a certain width may be used instead of the thread-like elastic elastic material. .

  As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the absorbent main body 10 has a substantially rectangular outer shape. From the abdominal side portion 20 </ b> F to the crotch part 20 </ b> M of the exterior body 20 formed wider than the absorbent main body 10. Arranged over the back side 20B. The absorptive main body 10 includes a top sheet 11 that is on the contact surface side (upper side) with the wearer when worn, a back sheet 12 that is on the opposite side (lower side) with the wearer when worn, and the top sheet 11 and the back. The absorbent body 13 interposed between the sheet 12 and a pair of gather sheets 14 and 14 provided along the longitudinal direction (front-rear direction) on both sides in the width direction of the absorbent body 13 are configured.

  The top sheet 11 is a sheet having liquid permeability that allows body fluid such as urine to pass through quickly, and is disposed so as to cover the upper side of the absorber 13. Examples of the liquid-permeable sheet include a net-like sheet material obtained by plain weaving such as nylon and polyethylene terephthalate, a porous sheet material having a large number of through holes, a film sheet material such as polyethylene and polypropylene, and a transparent sheet material. There are woven and non-woven fabrics having liquid properties. In particular, non-woven fabric is suitable for the top sheet 11, synthetic fibers such as olefins such as polyethylene and polypropylene, polyesters and polyamides, regenerated fibers such as rayon and cupra, or natural fibers such as cotton as fiber materials. A nonwoven fabric processed by an appropriate processing method such as a spunlace method, a spunbond method, a thermal bond method, a melt blown method, or a needle punch method can be used.

The back sheet 12 is a sheet having liquid impermeability (water impermeability) that prevents body fluid from leaking out or leaking out of the paper diaper 1, and is disposed so as to cover the lower side of the absorber 13. ing. Examples of the sheet having liquid impermeability include a sheet material made of polyethylene or polypropylene.
Moreover, it is preferable that the back sheet 12 has moisture permeability from the viewpoint of preventing stuffiness. As a sheet material having water barrier properties and moisture permeability, for example, a sheet is formed by kneading an inorganic filler in an olefin-based resin such as polyethylene or polypropylene, and then stretched in a uniaxial or biaxial direction. The resulting microporous sheet material is preferably used. In addition, a laminated non-woven fabric obtained by laminating a non-woven fabric having moisture permeability on a water-permeable film sheet made of polyethylene or the like can be used.
As the back sheet 12, it is preferable to use an opaque one so that brown such as defecation and urine is difficult to visually recognize. For example, the back sheet 12 is made opaque by adding pigments and fillers such as calcium carbonate, titanium oxide, zinc oxide, white carbon, clay, talc, and barium sulfate into an olefin resin or plastic to form a film. be able to.

  The gather sheets 14 and 14 are sheets (for example, non-woven fabric) for preventing body fluid from leaking sideways, and are arranged along the longitudinal direction (front-rear direction) on both sides in the width direction of the absorber 13 on the top sheet 11 side. It is installed. Although the same material as the top sheet 11 can be used for the gather sheet 14, it is preferable to use a nonwoven fabric excellent in air permeability by suppressing weighing in order to prevent stuffiness. Further, the gather sheet 14 has a silicon-based, paraffin-metal-based, alkylchromic-chromoid water-repellent material in order to prevent the passage of urine and the like, to prevent fogging, and to improve the touch to the skin (dry feeling). You may use the water-repellent treatment nonwoven fabric which coated etc.

As shown in FIG. 4, the gather sheet 14 is folded in two in the width direction and sandwiches the side edge portion of the back sheet 12 at its base end, and the folded surface has, for example, hot melt or heat seal. It is fixed by an ultrasonic seal or the like. Moreover, the side edge part of the top sheet 11 is adhere | attached on the upper surface side of the base end part of the gather sheet 14 doubled by folding.
A plurality of three-dimensional gather elastic members 15 are disposed in the folded portion of the gather sheet 14 along the longitudinal direction (front-rear direction). For the three-dimensional gathered elastic member 15, the same material as the elastic elastic material used for the waist elastic member 23 of the exterior body 20 can be used. When the elastic member 15 for three-dimensional gathers is formed of a thread-like elastic elastic material (so-called thread rubber), it is preferable that a member having a thickness of 300 to 1200 dtex or less is extended in a state of 150 to 350%. In addition, as the elastic member 15 for three-dimensional gathers, you may make it use the tape-shaped elastic elastic material which has a certain amount of width instead of a thread-shaped elastic elastic material.
The folded portion of the gather sheet 14 is a free end so that the gather sheet 14 can stand up, and is folded toward the inside of the absorbent main body 10. A pair of three-dimensional gathers that can be deformed in a stretchable manner in accordance with the wearer's body shape are formed by the gather sheet 14 rising from the folded portion at the base end.

As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the absorbent body 13 is formed, for example, so as to have a substantially hourglass shape in plan view, and the width dimension thereof is a size that does not give a feeling of gore when hitting the wearer's body. ing. The absorbent body 13 is configured by covering a liquid absorbent crepe paper 132 with an absorbent core 131 formed by mixing a superabsorbent polymer into an absorbent material such as cotton or pulp. In the absorbent body 13, the absorbent core 131 may be covered with a liquid-permeable nonwoven fabric or a porous sheet material instead of the crepe paper 132.
Examples of the superabsorbent polymer constituting the absorbent core 131 include carboxymethylcellulose, polyacrylic acid and its salts, crosslinked acrylate polymer, starch-acrylic acid graft copolymer, and starch-acrylonitrile graft copolymer. A degradation product, a crosslinked polyoxyethylene product, a crosslinked carboxymethyl cellulose product, a partially crosslinked columnar polymer such as polyethylene oxide and polyacrylamide, or a copolymer of isobutylene and maleic acid is preferably used.

In the present embodiment, three longitudinally contracting members 16 made of a water-absorbing shrinkable material that contracts by contact with body fluid are disposed between the absorber 13 (crepe paper 132) and the back sheet 12 along the longitudinal direction. ing. The longitudinal direction shrinkable member 16 is bonded to the crepe paper 132 over the entire length by, for example, a hot-melt adhesive.
Note that the longitudinal contraction member 16 may be disposed on the lower surface of the back sheet 12 (between the back sheet 12 and the exterior body 20) instead of between the crepe paper 132 and the back sheet 12.

  For the longitudinal direction shrinkable member 16, a shrinkable yarn obtained by drawing a plurality of polyvinyl alcohol-based long fibers and a shrinkable yarn obtained by spinning a cellulose-based short fiber and then subjecting it to carboxymethylation and then twisting twistedly are preferably used. it can. Specifically, as a product disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 6-102068 and Japanese Patent No. 2656245, or a commercially available product, the product name “Solbron” of Nichibi Co., Ltd. can be used. The thing of 500-1600 dtex is suitable. As the water-absorbing shrinkable material, those having any shape such as a cross-sectional circular or square thread shape, a sheet shape, a film shape, or a net shape can be used. It is preferable that the water-absorbing shrinkable material has a contraction force when absorbing body fluid of 10 to 20 N or more.

  As described above, in the disposable diaper 1 of the first embodiment, the water-absorbing shrinkable material (longitudinal shrinkable member) 16 that shrinks by contact with body fluid extends from the ventral side portion 10F of the absorbent main body 10 to the back side along the longitudinal direction. Arranged over the portion 10B. Further, the absorbent main body 10 is firmly fixed to the exterior body 20 with a water-absorbing shrinkable material (longitudinal contraction member) 16 interposed between the absorbent body 13 and the exterior body 20.

In the paper diaper 1, body fluid such as urine that has passed through the top sheet 11 and the crepe paper 132 penetrates into the absorbent core 131 and is absorbed and held. Further, the body fluid that has oozed out of the absorbent core 131 passes through the crepe paper 132 and reaches the longitudinal contraction member 16.
At this time, since the longitudinal direction shrinkable member 16 has water absorption shrinkage, it shrinks in the longitudinal direction. And if the longitudinal direction shrinkable member 16 shrink | contracts, since the absorptive main body 10 adhere | attached to the exterior body 20 will be compressed in a longitudinal direction, the crotch part M of the paper diaper 1 will be lifted upwards. That is, the disposable diaper 1 is not slipped off due to the weight of the absorbent body 13 after urination, and the absorbent body 13 is deformed into a concavo-convex shape, so that the close contact state (fitness) with the wearer is maintained.
Therefore, according to the paper diaper 1, it is possible to effectively prevent the urination from deteriorating the close contact state between the human body and the absorbent main body and impairing the fit. Moreover, since the absorber 13 approaches the center in the longitudinal direction, the absorber 13 positioned at the urination port is newly updated, and the absorption performance of the absorber 13 is maintained.

[Modification 1]
FIG. 5 is a developed plan view of the absorptive main body 10 according to Modification 1 as viewed from above.
In the absorbent main body 10 of Modification 1, a plurality of width-direction contracting members 17F and 17B are disposed along the width direction on the abdominal side part 10F and the back side part 10B of the absorbent main body 10, respectively. The width direction contracting members 17F and 17B are made of a water-absorbing contractible material that contracts by contact with body fluids, like the longitudinal direction contracting member 16. The width direction contraction members 17F and 17B are bonded to the crepe paper 132 over the entire length by, for example, a hot-melt adhesive. That is, in the absorptive main body 10 of the modified example 1, the water-absorbing shrinkable material is disposed in a lattice shape in the abdominal side portion 10F and the back side portion 10B.

  According to the disposable diaper 1 according to the modified example 1, the body fluid that has penetrated into the abdominal side portion 10F or the back side portion 10B of the absorbent main body 10 is efficiently diffused in the longitudinal direction and the width direction, so that the entire absorbent body 13 is effective. Used. Moreover, since the wearer's waist circumference is tightened by contraction of the width direction contracting members 17F and 17B, the slippage of the disposable diaper 1 can be effectively prevented.

[Modification 2]
FIG. 6 is a developed plan view of the absorbent main body 10 according to Modification 2 as viewed from above.
In the absorbent main body 10 of Modification 2, in addition to the absorbent main body 10 of Modification 1, a plurality of width-direction contracting members 17M are disposed along the width direction on the crotch portion 10M of the absorbent main body 10. Yes. Similarly to the longitudinal direction contraction member 16, the width direction contraction member 17M is made of a water-absorbing shrinkable material that contracts by contact with body fluid, and is adhered to the crepe paper 132 over the entire length by, for example, a hot-melt adhesive. ing. That is, in the absorptive main body 10 of the modified example 2, the water-absorbing shrinkable material is arranged in a lattice pattern in the abdominal side part 10F, the back side part 10B, and the crotch part 10M.

  According to the disposable diaper 1 according to the modified example 2, the body fluid that has penetrated into the crotch portion 10M of the absorbent main body 10 is efficiently diffused in the longitudinal direction and the width direction, so that the entire absorbent body 13 is used more effectively. Further, the contraction of the width direction contraction member 17M makes it easier for the body fluid to come into contact with the longitudinal direction contraction member 16 disposed on the side of the absorbent main body 10, so that the displacement of the disposable diaper 1 due to the weight after urination is lost. Can be resolved instantly. In this case, it is desirable to appropriately adjust the contraction force by the width direction contraction member 17M so that the crotch part M of the paper diaper 1 is not excessively compressed to give the wearer an uncomfortable feeling.

[Second Embodiment]
FIG. 7 is a developed plan view of the absorbent main body 30 according to the second embodiment as viewed from above. 8 is a cross-sectional view taken along line BB in FIG. 7, and FIG. 9 is a cross-sectional view taken along line CC in FIG. In addition, about the component which is the same as or corresponds to the absorptive main body 10 of 1st Embodiment, the code | symbol which replaced the top numeral with 3 is attached | subjected.
As shown in FIGS. 7-9, in 2nd Embodiment, the absorber core 331 of the absorber 33 consists of the lower layer absorber 331A and the upper layer absorber 331B arrange | positioned above this lower layer absorber 331A. It has a layer structure.

  The lower layer absorbent body 331 </ b> A is disposed substantially throughout the longitudinal direction of the absorbent main body 30. Also in the absorbent main body 30 of the second embodiment, as in the absorbent main body 10 of the first embodiment, the longitudinal contraction member 36 having water-absorbing shrinkage is formed by the absorber 33 (crepe paper 332) and the back sheet 32. Three are arranged along the longitudinal direction.

  The upper layer absorbent body 331B is composed of two absorbent bodies, and is arranged side by side in the state of being close to the longitudinal direction in the center of the absorbent main body 30, ie, the region corresponding to the crotch part 30M. In the following, the upper layer absorber 331B disposed on the abdominal side 30F side of the absorbent main body 30 is the first upper layer absorber, and the upper layer absorber 331B disposed on the back side 30B side is the second upper layer absorber. Called.

  In the first upper layer absorbent body 331B, two longitudinal contraction members 38 having water absorption shrinkage are disposed along the longitudinal direction with one end fixed to the ventral side portion 30F. Specifically, the longitudinal direction contraction member 38 is bonded to the first upper layer absorber 331B in a wound state, the bent portion is in contact with the side wall of the first upper layer absorber 331B, and the other end is absorbed. It is fixed to the ventral portion 30F of the sex main body 30. Similarly, in the second upper layer absorbent body 331B, two longitudinal shrink members 38 having water-absorbing shrinkage are disposed along the longitudinal direction with one end fixed to the back side portion 30B. That is, the first upper layer absorber 331B and the second upper layer absorber 331B are movable in the longitudinal direction as the longitudinal contraction members 38 and 39 contract.

As described above, in the second embodiment, the absorber 33 (absorber core 331) is disposed on the upper side of the lower layer absorber 331A and the lower layer absorber 331A disposed in the entire longitudinal direction of the absorbent main body 30. It has a two-layer structure composed of the upper layer absorber 331B provided. And the water-absorbing shrinkable materials (longitudinal shrinkable members) 38 and 39 are disposed in the longitudinal direction of the upper absorbent body 331B in a state where one end is fixed to the ventral side portion 30F or the back side portion 30B. (Longitudinal contraction members) 38 and 39 contract so that the upper absorbent body 331B moves in the longitudinal direction.
Specifically, two upper layer absorbers (first upper layer absorber, second upper layer absorber) 331B and 331B correspond to the crotch portion 30M formed between the ventral portion 30F and the dorsal portion 30B. The water-absorbing shrinkable materials (longitudinal shrinkable members) 38 and 39 arranged in parallel in the state of being close to each other in the longitudinal direction are separated from each other by contracting.

  As shown in FIG. 10 (a), in the disposable diaper 1 of the second embodiment, body fluid such as urine that has permeated through the top sheet 11 and the crepe paper 132 penetrates into the upper absorbent bodies 331B and 331B and is absorbed and held. . At this time, when the body fluid penetrates into the first upper layer absorbent body 331B, the longitudinal direction contracting member 38 contracts in the longitudinal direction, so that the first upper layer absorbent body 331B gradually moves to the ventral portion 30F side. Similarly, when the body fluid penetrates into the second upper layer absorbent body 331B, the longitudinal direction contracting member 39 contracts in the longitudinal direction, whereby the second upper layer absorbent body 331B gradually moves toward the back side portion 30B. That is, during urination, the first upper layer absorber 331B and the second upper layer absorber 331B are gradually separated.

  At the time of urination thereafter, as shown in FIG. 10B, the body fluid directly penetrates into the lower layer absorbent body 331B and is absorbed and held. The body fluid that has oozed out from the lower layer absorbent body 331 </ b> A passes through the crepe paper 332 and reaches the longitudinal contraction member 36. At this time, since the longitudinal direction contraction member 36 has water-absorbing contractibility, it contracts in the longitudinal direction. And if the longitudinal direction contraction member 36 shrink | contracts, since the absorptive main body 30 adhere | attached on the exterior body 20 will be compressed in a longitudinal direction, the crotch part M of the paper diaper 1 will be lifted upwards. That is, the disposable diaper 1 does not fall due to the weight of the absorbent body 33 after urination, and the absorbent body 33 is deformed into an uneven shape, so that the close contact state (fit property) with the wearer is maintained.

Therefore, according to the paper diaper 1, it is possible to effectively prevent the urination from deteriorating the close contact state between the human body and the absorbent main body and impairing the fit. Moreover, since the absorber 13 approaches the center in the longitudinal direction, the absorber 13 positioned at the urination port is newly updated, and the absorption performance of the absorber 13 is maintained.
Further, the absorber 33 (absorber core 331) has a two-layer structure of a lower layer absorber 331A and an upper layer absorber 331B, and the upper layer absorber 331B moves as the body fluid penetrates, and the lower layer absorber 331A is exposed to the urination port side. Therefore, the absorption performance of the absorber 33 can be improved.

As mentioned above, although the invention made by this inventor was concretely demonstrated based on embodiment, this invention is not limited to the said embodiment, It can change in the range which does not deviate from the summary.
For example, in the first embodiment, the water-absorbing shrinkable material may be arranged in a lattice shape on the entire surface of the absorbent main body 10. Thereby, since the bodily fluid which permeate | transmitted the absorber 13 is spread | diffused efficiently, the absorber 13 whole can be used effectively.
