Description

  The present invention relates to a disposable diaper.

  There are mainly three types of disposable diapers for infants: a tape type, a pants type (see, for example, Patent Documents 1 to 3), and a pad type. Of these, tape-type disposable diapers are provided with fastening tapes protruding from both sides of the dorsal part, and after being applied to the body in the unfolded state, both fastening tapes are applied to the outer surface of the ventral part. Installation is performed by stopping.

In general, tape-type disposable diapers are inferior in the fit around the torso compared to pants-type disposable diapers, so solutions such as giving elastic elasticity in the width direction to the fastening tape, Solutions have been proposed and widely adopted, such as imparting elastic stretchability in the width direction to the portion between the adhesive tapes (see, for example, Patent Documents 1 and 2).
These solutions remarkably improve the fit around the torso, but because the stretchable portion is fixed, it cannot be handled by changing the size of the diaper itself (M size to L size, etc.) If there is a difference in the partial body shape such as the rise, there is a problem in that an appropriate fit cannot be obtained because stretchability cannot be imparted at appropriate positions around the waist.

  Then, the main subject of this invention is to enable it to provide the elasticity of a circumference direction to a more suitable site | part.

The present invention that has solved the above problems is as follows.
<Invention of Claim 1>
It has a liquid-permeable surface sheet that forms the body-side surface, a liquid-impermeable sheet positioned on the outer surface side, and an absorbent element interposed therebetween, and extends to one side from the center in the front-rear direction. A main body having a first part and a second part extending to the other side of the center in the front-rear direction;
A waist belt detachably attached to a waist side end of the first portion;
Each provided at both ends in the longitudinal direction of the waist belt, and can be locked to the outer surface of the second part,
The waist belt has a first region located on one side in the longitudinal direction and elastically stretched in the longitudinal direction, and a second region located on the other side in the longitudinal direction and resiliently stretched in the longitudinal direction,
The first region and the second region are configured to have different longitudinal contraction forces,
By changing the top and bottom by removing the waist belt from the main body part, the part with strong contraction force at the waist side end is changed to the upper side or the lower side.
A disposable diaper characterized by that.

(Function and effect)
This disposable diaper can be mounted by engaging both ends of the waist belt with the outer surface of the second portion after being applied to the body in the unfolded state.
The waist belt has different longitudinal contraction forces on the one side and the other side in the longitudinal direction and is detachable with respect to the main body. Therefore, by removing the waist belt from the diaper and switching the top and bottom, The part with strong contraction force in the part can be shifted to the upper side or the lower side, and stretchability in the direction around the trunk can be imparted to a more appropriate part.

  For example, when considering the case where the contraction force of the first region of the waist belt is strong and the contraction force of the second region is weak, the waist belt is placed so that the first region is located on the upper side for a wearer with a long crotch. By attaching, the part with strong contraction force at the waist side end (the part corresponding to the first region of the waist belt) comes to be relatively located on the upper side, and the waist direction is at a more appropriate position with respect to the waist. It can be used in a state having elasticity. On the other hand, by attaching the waist belt so that the first region is located on the lower side for the wearer with a short crotch, the region with a strong contraction force at the waist side end (corresponding to the first region of the waist belt). Can be used in a state having stretchability in the waist circumference direction at a more appropriate position with respect to the waist.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the following description, “front-rear direction (vertical direction)” means a direction connecting the ventral side (front side) and back side (rear side), and “width direction” means a direction (left-right direction) perpendicular to the front-rear direction. "Vertical direction" means the wearing state of the diaper, that is, the width direction when the diaper is folded in two at the crotch so that the both sides of the abdomen and dorsal side of the diaper overlap each other Means the direction orthogonal to

  FIGS. 1-6 has shown an example of the disposable diaper, and this disposable diaper is comprised from the main-body part 10 and the waist belt 70. FIG. 3 and 4 are views showing a cross section taken along line 6-6 and 7-7 in FIG. 1, respectively, and FIGS. 5 and 6 are cross sections taken along line 8-8 and 9-9 in FIG. FIG. In addition, the dot pattern part in sectional drawing has shown the joining part which joins each structural member, and is formed by application | coating of a hot-melt-adhesive, welding by heat sealing, ultrasonic sealing, etc.

  The main body 10 is a portion that covers from the lower abdomen through the crotch to the buttocks, and is interposed between a liquid-permeable surface sheet that forms the body-side surface and a liquid-impermeable sheet that is positioned on the outer surface side. An absorbent element 50. The main body 10 includes end flap portions EF that extend to the front side and the rear side of the absorbent element 50, and side flap portions SF that respectively extend to both sides in the width direction of the absorbent element 50. The length of the end flap portion EF in the front-rear direction is preferably equal to or shorter than the width of the waist belt (length in the vertical direction). The length of the end flap portion EF in the front-rear direction is the length L in the front-rear direction of the entire diaper. It is preferable to be about 5 to 20%, and in diapers for infants, 10 to 60 mm, particularly 20 to 50 mm is appropriate. If the diaper back end and the absorbent element 50 are too close to each other, a gap is likely to be formed between the diaper back end and the body surface due to the thickness and stiffness of the absorbent element 50. The above is preferable.

  In the illustrated example, the entire outer surface of the main body 10 is formed by an exterior sheet 12, and a liquid-impermeable sheet 11 is fixed to the inner surface side thereof with an adhesive such as a hot-melt adhesive, and further this liquid-impermeable sheet. 11, the absorbent element 50, the intermediate sheet 40, and the top sheet 30 are laminated in this order. The top sheet 30 and the liquid-impermeable sheet 11 are rectangular in the illustrated example, have a slightly larger dimension in the front-rear direction and the width direction than the absorbent element 50, and are eaten from the side edges of the absorbent element 50 in the top sheet 30. The peripheral edge that protrudes and the peripheral edge that protrudes from the side edge of the absorbent element 50 in the liquid-impermeable sheet 11 are fixed by a hot melt adhesive or the like. This portion becomes the end flap portion EF and the side flap portion SF. The liquid-impermeable sheet 11 is made of a moisture-permeable polyethylene film or the like, and is formed to be slightly wider than the top sheet 30.

  Further, side barrier cuffs 60, 60 that protrude (stand up) toward the wearer's skin are provided on both sides of the inner surface of the main body 10, and a barrier sheet 62 that forms the side barrier cuffs 60, 60 is provided. , 62 are extended so as to cover the entire inner surfaces of the side flap portions SF, SF on the back side and the ventral side.

Hereinafter, the material and characteristic parts of each part will be described in order (exterior sheet).
The exterior sheet 12 is a part that supports the absorbent element 50 and is attached to the wearer. The exterior sheet 12 has an hourglass shape in which the center part in the front-rear direction on both sides is constricted, and this is a part into which the wearer's leg is placed.

The exterior sheet 12 is preferably a non-woven fabric, but is not limited thereto. The type of the nonwoven fabric is not particularly limited, and as the material fiber, for example, synthetic fibers such as polyethylene or polypropylene, synthetic fibers such as polyester or polyamide, recycled fibers such as rayon or cupra, and natural fibers such as cotton are used. As a processing method, a spunlace method, a spunbond method, a thermal bond method, an air-through method, a needle punch method, or the like can be used. However, a long-fiber nonwoven fabric such as a spunbond nonwoven fabric, an SMS nonwoven fabric, or an SMMS nonwoven fabric is preferable in that both the touch and strength can be achieved. In addition to using a single nonwoven fabric, a plurality of nonwoven fabrics can be used. In the latter case, the nonwoven fabrics 12 are preferably bonded to each other with a hot melt adhesive or the like. When using a nonwoven fabric, the fabric weight is preferably 10 to 50 g / m ² , particularly 15 to 30 g / m ² .

(Liquid impervious sheet)
The material of the liquid-impermeable sheet 11 is not particularly limited. For example, the liquid-impermeable sheet 11 is substantially made of an olefin resin such as polyethylene or polypropylene, a laminated nonwoven fabric obtained by laminating a nonwoven fabric on a polyethylene sheet, or a waterproof film. Non-woven fabrics that ensure liquid impermeability (in this case, liquid impervious sheets are composed of waterproof films and non-woven fabrics). Of course, in addition to this, a liquid-impermeable and moisture-permeable material that has been used and used in recent years from the viewpoint of preventing stuffiness can also be exemplified. As the sheet of the material having liquid impermeability and moisture permeability, for example, an inorganic filler is kneaded in an olefin resin such as polyethylene or polypropylene, and the sheet is formed, and then stretched in a uniaxial or biaxial direction. Examples of the microporous sheet obtained in this way can be given. In addition, non-woven fabric using micro-denier fiber, strengthening leak-proofing by reducing the voids of the fiber by applying heat or pressure, and applying water-absorbing resin or hydrophobic resin or water repellent. A sheet that is liquid-impermeable without using a film can also be used as the liquid-impermeable sheet 11.

(Surface sheet)
The top sheet 30 is sufficient if it has liquid permeability, and for example, a porous or non-porous nonwoven fabric or a porous plastic sheet can be used. Of these, the nonwoven fabric is not particularly limited as to what the raw fiber is. For example, synthetic fibers such as olefins such as polyethylene and polypropylene, polyesters and polyamides, recycled fibers such as rayon and cupra, natural fibers such as cotton, and mixed fibers and composite fibers using two or more of them. Etc. can be illustrated. Furthermore, the nonwoven fabric may be manufactured by any processing. Examples of the processing method include known methods such as a spunlace method, a spunbond method, a thermal bond method, a melt blown method, a needle punch method, an air through method, and a point bond method. For example, the spun lace method is a preferable processing method for obtaining flexibility and drapeability, and the thermal bond method is for obtaining bulkiness and softness.

  Further, the top sheet 30 may be composed of one sheet or may be composed of a laminated sheet obtained by bonding two or more sheets. Similarly, the top sheet 30 may be composed of one sheet or two or more sheets in the planar direction.

(Intermediate sheet)
An intermediate sheet (also referred to as a second sheet) 40 can be provided between the surface sheet 30 and the absorbent element 50 in order to move excrement that has passed through the surface sheet 30 to the absorber and prevent reversal. The intermediate sheet 40, excrement was allowed to migrate rapidly to the absorbent body not only enhance absorption performance by the absorber, preventing the back from the absorbent body exudates absorbed, better feel topsheet 30 surface To do. The intermediate sheet 40 can be omitted.

  As the intermediate sheet 40, the same material as that of the top sheet 30 can be used. The intermediate sheet 40 is preferably bonded to the top sheet 30. When heat embossing or ultrasonic welding is used for the bonding, the material of the intermediate sheet 40 preferably has a melting point similar to that of the top sheet 30. Further, considering the permeation of the solid content in the stool, the fineness of the fiber used for the intermediate sheet 40 is preferably 5.0 to 7.0 dtex, but the liquid residue in the top sheet 30 increases. On the other hand, when the fineness of the fiber used for the intermediate sheet 40 is 1.0 to 2.0 dtex, the liquid residue of the top sheet 30 is hardly generated, but the solid content of the stool is hardly transmitted. Therefore, it is preferable that the fiber of the nonwoven fabric used for the intermediate sheet 40 has a fineness of about 2.0 to 5.0 dtex.

  The intermediate sheet 40 in the illustrated form is arranged in the center shorter than the width of the absorbent element 50, but may be provided over the entire width. The length in the longitudinal direction of the intermediate sheet 40 may be the same as the entire length of the diaper, may be the same as the length of the absorbent element 50, or may be within a short length range centered on the region that receives the liquid.

  Further, the intermediate sheet can be composed of a mesh film or the like in which a large number of pores are provided in a film material such as polyethylene, and does not limit the selection of the material.

(Side barrier cuffs)
Side barrier cuffs 60, 60 that protrude (stand up) on the use surface side are provided on both sides of the product in order to prevent urine and soft stool that move laterally on the top sheet 30 and prevent side leakage. Is preferred.

  The side barrier cuff 60 includes a barrier sheet 62 that is substantially continuous in the width direction, and an elongated elastic elastic member 63 that is fixed to the barrier sheet 62 in a stretched state along the front-rear direction. As the barrier sheet 62, a water-repellent nonwoven fabric can be used, and as the elastic elastic member 63, thread rubber or the like can be used. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a plurality of elastic elastic members can be provided in addition to a plurality of elastic expansion members.

  The inner surface of the barrier sheet 62 has a fixing start end in the width direction on the side portion of the top sheet 30, and a portion on the outer side in the width direction from the fixing start end is on the side portion of the liquid-impermeable sheet 11 and on the outer side in the width direction. It fixes to the side part of the exterior sheet | seat 12 located with the hot-melt-adhesive agent etc. Out of the adhering portions, on the outer side in the width direction in the vicinity of the adhering start end, leg elastic elastic members 64 made of rubber thread or the like are provided along the front-rear direction between the sheets of the portions where the barrier sheet 62 and the exterior sheet 12 face each other. It has been.

  Around the leg, the width direction inner side of the side barrier cuff 60 is fixed on the top sheet 30 at both ends in the longitudinal direction of the product, but the portion between them is an unfixed free part. The portion comes to stand by the contraction force of the rubber thread 63. When the diaper is worn, the diaper is attached to the body in the shape of a boat, and the contraction force of the rubber thread 63 acts, so that the side barrier cuffs 60 stand up and adhere to the legs around the contraction force of the rubber thread 63. . As a result, so-called side leakage from around the legs is prevented.

  Unlike the illustrated embodiment, the front and rear direction end portions of the barrier sheet 62 on the inner side in the width direction are divided into a base end side portion extending from the outer side in the width direction to the inner side in the width direction and a center side in the width direction of the base end side portion. It is also possible to fix in a double-folded state having a distal end side portion that is folded back from the edge toward the body side and extends outward in the width direction, and the portion in between can be an unfixed free portion.

(Absorption element)
The absorption element 50 is a part that absorbs and holds liquid such as urine and loose stool. The absorbent element 50 includes an absorbent body 56 and a packaging sheet 58 that wraps at least the back and side surfaces of the absorbent body 56. The packaging sheet 58 can be omitted. The absorbent element 50 can be adhered to the inner surface of the liquid-impermeable sheet 11 via an adhesive such as a hot melt adhesive on the back surface.

(Absorber)
The absorber 56 can be formed of an aggregate of fibers. As this fiber assembly, a filament assembly obtained by opening, as necessary, synthetic fiber tows (fiber bundles) such as cellulose acetate as well as short fibers such as cotton-like pulp and synthetic fibers Can also be used. The fiber basis weight can be set to, for example, about 100 to 300 g / m ² when cotton-like pulp or short fibers are stacked, and in the case of a filament aggregate, for example, about 30 to 120 g / m ^2. Can do. The fineness in the case of a synthetic fiber is 1-16 dtex, for example, Preferably it is 1-10 dtex, More preferably, it is 1-5 dtex. In the case of a filament aggregate, the filament may be a non-crimped fiber, but is preferably a crimped fiber. The crimped degree of the crimped fiber can be, for example, 5 to 75, preferably 10 to 50, and more preferably about 15 to 50 per inch. Further, a crimped fiber that is uniformly crimped is often used.

(Superabsorbent polymer particles)
The absorbent body 56 preferably includes superabsorbent polymer particles. In particular, at least in the liquid receiving region, the superabsorbent polymer particles (SAP particles) are dispersed substantially throughout the thickness direction with respect to the aggregate of fibers. Is desirable.

  If there is no SAP particle in the upper part, the lower part, and the middle part of the absorber 56, or if there is very little, it cannot be said that the "absorbed throughout the thickness direction". Therefore, “distributed in the entire thickness direction” means “distributed unevenly in the upper part, the lower part, and / or the middle part of the aggregate of fibers in addition to the form“ uniformly ”distributed in the entire thickness direction. However, it is still included in the form of being dispersed in the upper, lower and middle portions. Further, a form in which some SAP particles do not enter the fiber assembly and remain on the surface thereof, and a form in which some SAP particles pass through the fiber assembly and are on the packaging sheet 58 are also excluded. It is not something.

  Superabsorbent polymer particles include “powder” in addition to “particles”. As the particle diameter of the superabsorbent polymer particles, those used in this type of absorbent article can be used as they are, and those having a particle size of 1000 μm or less, particularly 150 to 400 μm are desirable. The material of the superabsorbent polymer particles can be used without any particular limitation, but those having a water absorption of 40 g / g or more are suitable. High-absorbent polymer particles include starch-based, cellulose-based, and synthetic polymer-based starch-acrylic acid (salt) graft copolymers, saponified starch-acrylonitrile copolymers, and sodium carboxymethylcellulose crosslinks. Or an acrylic acid (salt) polymer can be used. As the shape of the superabsorbent polymer particles, a commonly used granular material is suitable, but other shapes can also be used.

  As the superabsorbent polymer particles, those having a water absorption rate of 40 seconds or less are preferably used. When the water absorption speed exceeds 40 seconds, so-called reversion in which the liquid supplied into the absorber 56 returns to the outside of the absorber 56 is likely to occur.

The basis weight of the superabsorbent polymer particles can be appropriately determined according to the amount of absorption required for the use of the absorber 56. Therefore, although it cannot be said unconditionally, it can be set to 50 to 350 g / m ² . If the amount of polymer is less than 50 g / m ^2, it is difficult to secure the absorption amount. When it exceeds 350 g / m ² , not only the effect is saturated, but also the sensation of incongruity due to the excess of the superabsorbent polymer particles is given.

(Packaging sheet)
When the packaging sheet 58 is used, as the material, tissue paper, particularly crepe paper, non-woven fabric, polylaminated non-woven fabric, a sheet with small holes, or the like can be used. However, it is desirable that the superabsorbent polymer particles be a sheet that does not escape. When a nonwoven fabric is used in place of the crepe paper, a hydrophilic SMMS (spunbond / meltblown / meltblown / spunbond) nonwoven fabric is particularly suitable, and polypropylene, polyethylene / polypropylene, etc. can be used as the material. The fiber basis weight is preferably 5 to 40 g / m ² , particularly 10 to 30 g / m ² .

  As shown in FIG. 3, the packaging sheet 58 may wrap only the back surface and the side surface of the layer in addition to the form for wrapping the entire absorbent body 56. Although not shown, only the upper and side surfaces of the absorbent body 56 are covered with crepe paper or a nonwoven fabric, and the lower surface is covered with a liquid-impermeable sheet such as polyethylene, and the upper surface of the absorbent body 56 is covered with crepe paper or a nonwoven fabric. For example, the lower surface may be covered with a liquid-impermeable sheet such as polyethylene (each of these materials is a component of the packaging sheet). If necessary, the absorbent body 56 may be sandwiched between two upper and lower sheets or disposed only on the lower surface, but this is not desirable because it is difficult to prevent the movement of the superabsorbent polymer particles.

(Waist belt)
Characteristically, belt holes 15 whose insertion direction is the width direction are provided on the outer surfaces of both side portions and the central portion on the waist side of the back portion B, respectively, and in the belt hole 15 in the longitudinal direction (in FIG. The waist belt 70 that elastically expands and contracts in the width direction is passed so as to be freely movable, and the waist belt 70 can be attached to and detached from the main body. The waist belt 70 has locking portions 73 that can be locked to the outer surface of the main body 10 at both ends in the longitudinal direction.

  The size of the waist belt 70 can be determined as appropriate, but the width (vertical length) 70Y is preferably about 4 to 25% of the entire length L of the main body 10, and the length 70X is in the stretched state. The total length L of 10 is preferably about 110 to 300%. The dimensions of the belt hole 15 can be determined as appropriate, but the length in the vertical direction is preferably equal to or greater than the width 70Y of the waist belt 70. The passing position of the waist belt 70 is determined by the position of the belt hole 15 and can be determined as appropriate, but when the waist belt 70 is configured to overlap from the absorbent element 50 to the end flap EF as illustrated, This is preferable because the back end of the absorbent element 50 is firmly pressed against the body.

  Although the formation site of the belt hole 15 is not particularly limited, it may be provided at least on both sides of the back portion B, and further provided in the center in the width direction as in the illustrated example, so that the main body 10 can be fitted more reliably. be able to. Of course, the belt hole 15 can also be provided continuously over the entire width direction of the main body 10.

  As shown in the illustrated example, the belt hole 15 may be formed in a predetermined portion on the outer surface of the exterior sheet 12 by fixing only the upper and lower ends 15f of the elongated strip-shaped hole forming sheet 15s with welding or hot melt adhesive. it can. As the hole forming sheet 15s in this case, the same one as the exterior sheet 12 can be used. In addition, as shown in FIG. 12, a non-joint portion that does not join the liquid-impermeable sheet 11 and the exterior sheet 12 is provided over the entire width direction at a predetermined portion on the waist side, or the non-joint portion is arranged in the width direction. The slits for belt introduction and lead-out may be provided in the exterior sheet 12 on both sides of the non-joined portion. In this form, the non-joining part of the liquid-impermeable sheet 11 and the exterior sheet 12 becomes a cylindrical part having an entrance at both ends, and the waist belt 70 can be inserted into and removed from this cylindrical part.

  The locking portion 73 of the waist belt 70 is not particularly limited as long as it can be locked to the outer surface of the main body portion 10 (exterior sheet 12 in the illustrated example) or the outer surface of the waist belt 70, and a hook tape (surface fastener) of a mechanical fastener. The male material) is preferred, but an adhesive layer can also be provided. The hook tape has a large number of engaging protrusions on the outer surface side, and the engaging protrusions are in a letter shape, J shape, mushroom shape, T shape, double J shape (J shape) However, any shape may be used. The hook tape can be fixed to the waist belt 70 by hot melt adhesive or heat sealing.

  The belt main body part excluding the locking part 73 can be used without particular limitation, such as an elastic elastic band made of an elastic material such as a rubber sheet, as long as it is a belt-like elastic band in the longitudinal direction. It is preferable to use a non-woven fabric. In this case, an elastic elastic band having air permeability such as a stretchable nonwoven fabric can be used. However, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 7, the sheet base material 71 such as two nonwoven fabrics is bonded with a hot melt adhesive or the like. The elastic expansion and contraction in which the elastic expansion and contraction member 72 such as a perforated sheet, net, and elongated (thread or string) is stretched between the sheet base materials 71 while being stretched along the width direction. A band 74 is preferably used.

  As the sheet base 71 in this case, the same one as the exterior sheet 12 can be used. It is preferable that the elastic expansion / contraction member 72 has an extension ratio of about 150 to 250%. In addition, when an elongated (stretch or string-like) member is used as the elastic elastic member 72, it is preferable to provide about 5 to 15 members having a thickness of 420 to 1120 dtex at intervals 72d of 3 to 10 mm. The elastic elastic member 72 may be fixed over the entire length of the sheet base material 71 in the longitudinal direction (diaper width direction) of the sheet. However, the elastic elastic member 72 is elastically elastic to prevent shrinkage or turning over when attached to the diaper body. In the range of about 5 to 20 mm at the end in the longitudinal direction (diaper width direction) of the member band 74, it is preferable to cut so that the contraction force does not work or to prevent the elastic elastic member 72 from being present. Moreover, in order to make the contact of the waist side end portion flexible, as shown in FIG. 10B, between the sheet base materials 71 at the waist side end portion of the waist belt, the thickness is about 0.5 to 3 mm. It is also preferable to sandwich a flexible belt-like foamed resin sheet (foamed urethane or the like) 76 over the entire width direction (or a part of the center portion or the like), and to provide the elastic elastic member 72 at the crotch side.

  Characteristically, as shown in FIG. 7, the waist belt 70 is located on one side in the longitudinal direction and elastically stretches in the longitudinal direction, and is located on the other side in the longitudinal direction and elastically stretches in the longitudinal direction. The first region 70A and the second region 70B are configured to have different contraction forces in the longitudinal direction. Such a contraction force difference between the elongated elastic elastic member 72 provided in the first region 70A and the elongated elastic elastic member 72 provided in the second region 70B is obtained by changing the thickness, number, elongation rate, interval, And it can be easily configured by making at least one of the types of materials different. In this case, the thickness, the number, and the interval are preferably made different within the above-mentioned range. The longitudinal direction contraction force of the first region 70A and the second region 70B can be appropriately determined, but the contraction force of the stronger region is about 41 to 100 gf / 10 mm, and the contraction force of the weaker region is about 0 to 40 gf / 10 mm. Is preferable.

  The locking portion 73 can be provided directly to such an elastic elastic band 74, but it is not preferable that the attaching portion of the locking portion 73 elastically expands and contracts. It is preferable that the sheet 75 is provided in a projecting manner, and the locking portion 73 is provided on the knob section sheet 75. As the knob portion sheet 75, a nonwoven fabric, a plastic film, a polylaminated nonwoven fabric, paper, or a composite material thereof can be used. Of the dimensions of the attachment portion of the knob section sheet 75, the longitudinal dimension X1 is preferably 10 to 50 mm, particularly preferably 20 to 40 mm, and the longitudinal dimension Y1 is preferably 20 to 100 mm, particularly preferably 40 to 80 mm. . In addition, it is preferable that the part which protrudes from the elastic elastic band 74 among the knob | pick part sheet | seats 75 has comprised the convex shape or taper shape which becomes narrow as a part or all goes to the front end side like illustration. The position of the locking portion 73 is provided at the center in the longitudinal direction of the waist belt 70 or provided around the boundary between the first region 70A and the second region 70B. In addition, as shown in FIG. If the first region 70A and the second region 70B are provided only in the region with the stronger contraction force (the second region 70B in the figure), the up / down switching effect described later is further enhanced. Although not shown, conversely, it can be provided only on both sides of the first region 70A and the second region 70B where the contraction force is weak.

  The disposable diaper configured in this manner is applied to the body in the unfolded state, and then the locking portions 73 at both ends of the waist belt 70 inserted through the belt hole 15 are locked to the outer surface of the ventral portion F. It can be mounted as shown in FIG. And since this waist belt 70 differs in the longitudinal direction contraction force of the vertical direction one side and the other side, and is detachable with respect to the main-body part 10, it removes the waist belt 70 from the main-body part 10, and replaces upper and lower sides. Thereby, the site | part with a strong contraction force in a waist side edge part can be shifted to the upper side or the lower side, and the stretchability of a trunk periphery direction can be provided to a more suitable site | part here. For example, when considering the case where the contraction force of the first region 70A of the waist belt 70 is strong and the contraction force of the second region 70B is weak, the first region 70A is positioned on the upper side for a wearer with a long crotch. By attaching the waist belt 70 to the waist belt, a portion having a strong contraction force at the waist side end portion (a portion corresponding to the first region 70A of the waist belt 70) is positioned relatively on the upper side. It can be used in an appropriate position with elasticity around the waist. On the other hand, by attaching the waist belt 70 so that the first region 70A is positioned on the lower side for a wearer with a short crotch, a region having a strong contraction force at the waist end (the first region of the waist belt 70). The portion corresponding to 70A is positioned relatively on the lower side, and can be used in a state having stretchability in the waist circumference direction at a more appropriate position with respect to the waist.

  The position and size of the locking portion of the locking portion 73 of the waist belt 70 can be arbitrarily determined. In diapers for infants, the locking location is a rectangular range of 20 to 80 mm in the front-rear direction and 150 to 300 mm in the width direction, and the distance in the height direction between the upper edge and the ventral upper edge is 0 to 60 mm, particularly 20 to 50 mm. And the center in the width direction of the product. It is preferable to provide a target sheet 74 having a target for facilitating the locking at the locking location. As the target sheet 74, when the locking portion 73 is a hook tape, a target sheet 74 in which a large number of loop yarns on the surface of a sheet base material made of a plastic film or a non-woven fabric with which hook hook engaging protrusions are entangled can be used. In the case of an adhesive material layer, a sheet base material made of a plastic film having a smooth surface that is rich in adhesiveness can be used. Moreover, when the latching | locking location in the outer surface of the main-body part 10 consists of nonwoven fabrics, for example, when the exterior sheet 12 of an illustration form consists of nonwoven fabrics, Comprising: When the latching | locking part 73 is a hook tape, hook tape is attached to the exterior sheet 12. A target sheet 74 for displaying the locking position may be provided between the exterior sheet 12 and the liquid-impermeable sheet 11 so as to be entangled with the non-woven fabric and locked.

  In the mounted state, most of the waist belt 70 (the portion excluding the locking portion 73) can move freely without being fixed to the main body 10 and the belt hole 15, so that the dimensions and shapes of all parts around the waist Corresponding to this change, the waist belt 70 can follow the expansion and contraction while being displaced in the waist direction with respect to the main body 10. Furthermore, since the waist belt 70 can be removed from the main body part 10, when discarding the used diaper, as shown in FIG. 9, after rounding the main body part 10 so that the surface sheet 30 side is inside, The diaper can be fixed in a rolled state by wrapping the removed waist belt 70 around the periphery and locking the locking portions 73 at both ends of the waist belt 70 to the outer surface of the rolled diaper.

  When the locking portion 73 is an adhesive layer, or when the locking portion 73 is a hook material and the outer surface of the waist belt 70 is formed of a nonwoven fabric or the like that can lock the hook material, the locking portion 73 is used. Since it can also be locked to the outer surface of the waist belt 70, at the time of mounting, the locking portion 73 at one end in the longitudinal direction of the waist belt 70 is locked to the other side of the waist belt 70 (the waist belt 70 is connected in an annular shape). It is also possible to have a mounting form (see FIG. 11 for the mounting state). At this time, if the locking portions 73 that are not used for the mutual connection of the waist belts 70 are locked to the outer surface of the main body 10, it is possible to prevent the waist belt 70 from being displaced in the waist direction. 10 may be used so as not to be locked to the outer surface. In the mounted state, most of the waist belt 70 (when the locking portion 73 not used for the mutual connection of the waist belts 70 is locked to the outer surface of the main body portion 10) or the whole is attached to the main body portion 10 and the belt hole 15. Therefore, the waist belt 70 can be displaced with respect to the body portion 10 in the direction of the waist in response to changes in dimensions and shapes in all parts around the waist. Further, at the time of disposal, the waist belt 70 can be similarly connected in an annular shape.

  If only the latter mounting form is sufficient, as shown in FIG. 10 (a), only a locking portion 73 that can be locked with the outer surface of the waist belt 70 is provided only at one longitudinal end portion of the waist belt 70. good. In this case, in the mounted state, the entire waist belt 70 can be freely moved without being fixed to the main body 10 and the belt hole 15, so that the followability is higher.

  On the other hand, considering only the complexity of the work of inserting and removing the waist belt 70 into and from the belt hole 15 at the time of wearing, it is preferable to provide the belt hole 15 only on the back side portion as shown in the figure. There is a possibility that the integrity of the ventral portion F and the waist belt 70 that do not have 15 is reduced, and the waist belt 70 is displaced from the main body 10. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 2, it is also a preferable form to provide the anti-slip part 16 on the waist side in the abdominal part F. The anti-slip portion 16 is preferably provided at least on both sides in the width direction of the main body portion 10, but is further provided in three places by adding the width direction center portion, or only on the width direction center portion without being provided on both width direction side portions. Also good. As the non-slip portion 16, other than the above-described hook tape, non-slip resin such as rubber may be welded or pasted.

  Of course, as shown in FIG. 13, belt holes 15 can be provided in both the abdominal part F and the back part B, and the displacement can be stopped without sacrificing the degree of freedom of the waist belt 70. In this case, it is difficult to pass the waist belt 70 through all the belt holes 15 in advance with the current manufacturing technology, but the waist belt 70 may be inserted into the belt hole 15 when being worn.

<Others>
(B) The above example is an example in which the belt hole 15 is provided as a means for attaching and detaching the waist belt 70, and a joint portion made of a hook tape or an adhesive layer of a mechanical fastener on the inner surface of the intermediate portion in the width direction of the waist belt 70. The waist belt 70 and the back part B can be made detachable by providing 80 and attaching / detaching the joining part 80 to / from the outer surface of the back part B. This configuration is preferable in that a complicated operation such as insertion / removal of the belt hole 15 in the above-described example is not required when the waist belt 70 is attached / detached. Although not shown, instead of providing the joint portion 80 on the waist belt 70, a joint portion may be provided at a portion of the back portion B where the intermediate portion in the width direction of the waist belt 70 contacts, for example, the center portion in the width direction. In addition, the joint portion B can be provided on both the inner surface of the waist belt 70 and the outer surface of the back side portion B.
(B) In addition to the difference in contraction force between the first region 70A and the second region 70B, the range in which the contraction force acts is made different between the first region 70A and the second region 70B, thereby making the stretchability in the waist circumference direction more It can be applied to a more appropriate site. For example, as shown in FIG. 16A, the first region 70A is a portion that elastically expands and contracts in the entire longitudinal direction, and the second region 70B is a portion Ne that does not elastically expand and contract in the center in the longitudinal direction. A form is proposed in which both sides in the longitudinal direction are elastic portions Ee. The portion Ne that is not elastically stretchable can be formed by finely cutting the elastic stretchable member 72 only as shown in the drawing, or by not providing the elastic stretchable member 72 at the portion (not shown) (hereinafter the same). In this embodiment, when the first region 70A is positioned on the upper side, the first region 70A elastically fits over the entire waist direction with respect to the waist side end portion, and the second portion is close to or overlaps the absorbent element. The region 70B comes to elastically fit so that a contraction force acts on both sides of the absorbent element. On the other hand, when the second region 70B is positioned on the upper side, the second region 70B can be used in a state where the stretchability of the waist portion can be exhibited at a position suitable for a wearer with a shorter crotch.
Further, as shown in FIG. 16B, the first region 70A has a central portion in the longitudinal direction as a portion Ee that elastically expands and contracts, and both sides in the longitudinal direction serve as a portion Ne that does not elastically expand and contract, and the second region 70B. A configuration is also proposed in which the central portion Bc in the longitudinal direction is a portion Ne that is not elastically expanded and contracted, and both sides in the longitudinal direction are elastically expanded and contracted portions Ee. In this embodiment, when the first region 70A is positioned on the upper side, leakage from the back side can be effectively prevented. Conversely, when the second region 70B is positioned on the upper side, the leakage from the side portions can be effectively prevented by the expansion and contraction at the side portions.
Further, as shown in FIG. 17A, the first region 70A has a central portion in the longitudinal direction as a portion Ee that elastically expands and contracts, and both sides in the longitudinal direction thereof as a portion Ne that does not elastically expand and contract, A form is also proposed in which the region 70B is a portion that elastically expands and contracts in the entire longitudinal direction. In this form, when the first region 70A is positioned on the upper side, a wearer with a short crotch can exert a strong effect on preventing leakage from the back side. On the other hand, when the second region 70B is positioned on the upper side, even a wearer with a long crotch can exert a strong effect in preventing leakage from the back side.
On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 17B, it is also proposed to continuously expand the range in which the contractile force acts in the vertical direction. In the illustrated example, a central portion in the longitudinal direction of the waist belt 70 is a portion Ne that does not elastically expand and contract in the longitudinal direction from one side in the longitudinal direction to the other side, and a portion Ee that elastically expands and contracts on both sides in the longitudinal direction. It is what has been. In this configuration, when the first region 70A is positioned on the upper side, the first region expands and contracts over the entire waistline so that it follows the curve of the body. The two areas will fit. On the other hand, when the second region 70B is positioned on the upper side, the second region 70B is fitted so that the contraction force acts in a region that does not overlap the absorbent element.
(C) In the above example, the waist belt 70 is made elastic by fixing the elongated elastic elastic member 72 to the sheet base 71, but it is elastic by itself like a rubber sheet or an elastic nonwoven fabric. The stretchable material can be attached to the sheet base material or used alone, and when used alone, the elastic stretchable materials having different shrinkage forces are joined together in the vertical direction, so that the first region 70A and the second region 70B are joined together. A contraction force difference can be imparted.
(D) In the above example, both the first region 70A and the second region 70B have a portion that elastically expands and contracts. However, as shown in FIG. 18, a form in which the second region 70B is a portion that does not elastically expand and contract is also proposed. The In other words, the contraction force of the second region 70B is zero. Even in this case, by removing the waist belt 70 from the diaper and switching the top and bottom, the portion having a strong contraction force at the waist side end can be shifted upward or downward, and the waist can be stretched in a more appropriate portion. It becomes possible to give sex.
(E) When the belt hole 15 is adopted as the attaching / detaching means, it is preferable that the waist belt 70 is passed through a part or all of the belt hole 15 in advance. Alternatively, it may be temporarily fixed to the main body part so as to be peelable. When the belt hole 15 is provided in both the abdominal part F and the back part B, the waist belt 70 is preferably passed through all the belt holes 15 provided in any one part.
(F) The waist belt 70 can be detachably attached to the ventral portion F.

  The present invention can be used for disposable diapers.
