  Next, the configuration of the front elastic member 50 and the rear elastic member 55 and the deformation state of the side joint portion will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4. FIG. 3 is a side view of the disposable diaper 1 in the extended state in which the front elastic member 50 and the rear elastic member 55 are extended. FIG. 4 is a view showing a state in which a disposable diaper is mounted.

  The extended state is a state in which the rear leg elastic member 57 as the first elastic member and the front leg elastic member 51 as the second elastic member are extended. Specifically, the disposable diaper is formed into a predetermined cylinder. It is in a state of wearing.

  The dimensions of the cylinder can be set as follows. First, an exterior body constituting a disposable diaper is prepared in a state where the front elastic member and the rear elastic member are not arranged. The distance between the side joint portions 11 at the front end portion of the exterior body in a state where the elastic member is not disposed is measured. The distance between the side joints 11 at the front end of the exterior body is L11. Moreover, the distance between the side junction parts 11 in the rear side edge part of the exterior body in the state where the elastic member is not arranged is measured. The distance between the side joints 11 at the rear end of the exterior body is L12. Further, the dimension in the front-rear direction of the front waistline region is measured, and this dimension is L13. The dimension in the front-rear direction of the rear waist area is measured, and this dimension is L14.

  The distance L11 between the side joints 11 at the front end of the exterior body and the distance L12 between the side joints 11 at the rear end of the exterior body are summed, and the total length × 0.8 is calculated. Let X be the calculated value. The length of the outer periphery of the cylinder is X. The axial length of the cylinder is set to L13 and L14 or more.

  The rear leg-hole elastic member 57 is a linear straight portion 57S extending in the width direction and the front side that is located on both outer sides in the width direction than the straight portion 57S and that is on the inner side in the front-rear direction from the inner side in the width direction toward the outer side in the width direction. A curved curved portion 57C extending from the rear side to the rear side, which is the outer side in the front-rear direction.

  The straight portion 57S is disposed along the width direction and is disposed in parallel with the rear waistline elastic member 56. The curved part 57C is arranged along the leg opening 9 on the rear waistline region S2.

  Three rear leg elastic members 57 are provided, and among the rear leg elastic members, the end rear leg elastic members 571 arranged closest to the leg opening are virtual lines extending in the width direction. Inclined with respect to FL1. On the other hand, two front leg elastic members 51 are provided, and among the front leg elastic members 51, the end front leg elastic members 511 arranged closest to the leg opening portions are virtual lines extending in the width direction. Arranged along FL1.

  Therefore, the angle α formed between the end rear leg-hole elastic member 571 and the imaginary line is larger than the angle formed between the end front leg-hole elastic member 511 and the imaginary line (0 degrees in the embodiment). In the present embodiment, the rear leg elastic member 57 constitutes a first elastic member, and the front leg elastic member 51 constitutes a second elastic member.

  In addition, although the edge part front leg periphery elastic member 511 of this Embodiment is arrange | positioned along the width direction, the edge part front leg periphery elastic member 511 may incline with respect to the width direction. In this case, the angle formed by the end front leg-hole elastic member 511 and the imaginary line FL1 may be configured to be smaller than the angle α formed by the end rear leg-hole elastic member 571 and the phantom line.

  Further, the elastic force in the width direction of the end front leg elastic member 511 that is the end second elastic member is higher than the elastic force in the width direction of the end rear leg elastic member 571 that is the end first elastic member. It is configured as follows.

  The expansion / contraction force in the width direction is a force that expands / contracts in the width direction among the expansion / contraction force by the end second elastic member, and is a force that expands / contracts in the width direction among the expansion / contraction force by the end first elastic member.

  The stretching force in the width direction can be measured by the following method.

  Cut out disposable diapers and prepare a sample to be measured. The dimensions of the sample are 50 mm from the lower end of the side part and 150 mm in the length: stretched around the waist. Next, the cut sample is set in a tensile tester in a natural state. The sample is set so that the direction connecting the chucks is along the width direction of the disposable diaper. The distance between chucks when setting is 30 mm. The tensile force when the elongation rate is 90%, that is, the distance between chucks is 57 mm is obtained. This tensile force is defined as the stretching force in the width direction.

  Moreover, the expansion rate in this Embodiment is an expansion rate in the extended state which the disposable diaper was extended. Further, the elongation rate can be measured, for example, by the following method.

  The product is fixed with the elastic member extended, and the dimensions of the straight part (between both ends in the inner width direction) and the curved part (both ends of the inner width direction from the inside of the locking) are measured (this dimension is I) Do). After marking the straight and curved portions described above, the product is cut at the elastic member portion. After completely removing deposits such as hot melt, the dimension is measured with a non-stretched elastic member placed straight with a ruler (this dimension is designated II). The calculated value of I / II is taken as the expansion rate.

  The angle α formed by the end rear leg-hole elastic member 571 and the imaginary line is larger than the angle formed by the end front leg-hole elastic member 511 and the phantom line (0 degrees in the embodiment). The contraction force along the width direction by the end front leg periphery elastic member 511 is likely to be higher than the contraction force along the width direction by the rotation elastic member 571.

  Therefore, the side joint portion 11 that joins the front waistline region and the rear waistline region is attracted to the front waistline region side by the front leg periphery elastic member 51 having a relatively high contraction force in the vicinity of the leg periphery opening. Therefore, the front-rearward inner end portion (end portion on the leg opening portion side) of the side joint portion can be drawn toward the front waistline region side. Compared with the configuration in which the front end in the front-rear direction of the side joint (the end on the leg opening side) is disposed between the front waistline and the rear waistline, the front end in the front-rear direction of the side joint The contact pressure between the wearer and the wearer can be reduced, and the wearer's feeling of wear is improved.

  In addition, when the wearer is sitting on a chair or sleeping, the weight of the wearer is applied to the rear waist area of the disposable diaper. Therefore, when the front-rear inner end of the side joint is drawn toward the rear waistline region, the front-rear inner end of the side joint may irritate the body. However, it is possible to suppress stimulation in a sitting posture or a sleeping posture by pulling the front and rear inner ends of the side joints toward the front waistline region. Furthermore, by pulling the front-rear direction inner end portion of the side joint portion toward the front waistline region, a leg opening that is located on the rear side of the wearer can be widely formed, and the catching of the legs during wearing can be suppressed.

  By pulling the side joint portion 11 toward the front waistline region, the side joint portion can be inclined with respect to the line in the front-rear direction of the body. For example, in a state in which the side joint portion is not moved to the front side and the rear side, the front-rear direction inner end portion of the side joint portion and the leg-hole opening portion intersect at substantially right angles. In this state of crossing at right angles, the stimulation at the inner end of the side joint in the front-rear direction is further increased.

  However, by inclining the side joints with respect to the longitudinal line of the body, the front and rear inner ends of the side joints are not perpendicular to the leg opening and stimulate the wearer's legs. Can be suppressed.

  In addition, since the end of the side joint portion on the leg opening side is shifted to the front waistline side or the rear waistline side (the front waistline side in this embodiment), Compared with the configuration in which the end on the opening side is arranged substantially perpendicular to the body line, the leg-hole opening can be formed wider. Therefore, the leg can be easily passed when worn, and the movable range of the leg can be widened when worn.

  The end front leg-holes elastic member 511 as the end second elastic member is disposed closer to the leg opening part than the end rear leg-around elastic member 571 as the end first elastic member. Therefore, the end part of the side joint part 11 on the side of the leg opening part can be pulled toward the front waistline region side by the end front leg part elastic member 511.

  In the present embodiment, the front leg elastic member 512 adjacent to the end front leg elastic member 511 overlaps the end rear leg elastic member 571 in the side joint portion 11. In the region where the front leg elastic member 512 and the end rear leg elastic member 571 overlap, the side joints are drawn to both the front waist region and the rear waist region by both elastic members. However, only the end front leg elastic member 511 is disposed closer to the leg opening portion than the region where the front leg elastic member 512 and the end rear leg elastic member 571 overlap with each other. Only the stretching force acts. Therefore, the end portion of the side joint portion on the side of the leg opening portion can be pulled toward the front waistline region side by the end front leg periphery elastic member 511.

  In addition, you may use the material described in Unexamined-Japanese-Patent No. 2006-346439 for each member which comprises the disposable diaper 1 mentioned above, for example.

  As described above, the contents of the present invention have been disclosed through the embodiments of the present invention. However, it should not be understood that the descriptions and drawings constituting a part of this disclosure limit the present invention. From this disclosure, various alternative embodiments, examples, and operational techniques will be apparent to those skilled in the art.

  In the present embodiment, one front leg elastic member 51 is arranged closer to the leg opening side than the end rear leg elastic member 571, but the front leg elastic member 51 is elastic to the end rear leg. Two or more members may be arranged closer to the leg opening than the member 571. By the front elastic member 50, the inner end portion in the front-rear direction of the side joint portion can be drawn more effectively.

  In addition, the extension rate of the front leg elastic member and the extension factor of the rear leg elastic member may be configured at the same magnification, or the extension rate of the front leg elastic member is set to be higher than that of the rear leg elastic member. By doing so, you may comprise so that the front-back direction inner side edge part of a side junction part may be drawn near to the front waistline area side.

  Furthermore, the extension rate of the front elastic member 50 is configured to increase toward the leg opening portion, and the extension rate of the rear elastic member 55 is configured to decrease toward the leg opening portion. You may comprise so that the front-back direction inner side edge part of a side junction part may be drawn near to the front waistline area side.

  Further, even if the extension rate of the end front leg-holes elastic member 511 is set to be higher than the end front leg-holes elastic member 511 among the plurality of front elastic members 50, the extension rate of the front elastic member is higher. Good. In this way, by configuring the extension rate of the end front leg-hole elastic member 511 to be high, the end of the side joint portion on the leg-hole opening side can be effectively shifted in the width direction.

  Further, the front leg elastic member 51 and the rear leg elastic member 57 may have the same configuration in thickness, number, and elongation rate. According to such a configuration, the contraction force of the front leg elastic member 51 and the rear leg elastic member 57 are substantially the same. However, for example, the rear leg elastic member 57 is inclined with respect to the width direction relative to the front leg elastic member 51, so that the contraction force in the width direction is lower than that of the front leg elastic member 51. As a result, the stretching force in the width direction of the plurality of front leg-hole elastic members is configured to be higher than the stretching force in the width direction of the plurality of rear leg-hole elastic members.

  Moreover, in this Embodiment and the modification, although it has comprised so that a side junction part may be drawn near to the front waistline area side, it is not restricted to this structure. The plurality of first elastic members may be front leg periphery elastic members disposed in the front waistline region, and the plurality of second elastic members may be rear leg periphery elastic members disposed in the rear waistline region. That is, the configuration of the front elastic member 50 and the rear elastic member 55 may be exchanged so that the side joint portion is drawn toward the rear waistline region.

  For example, in the above-described embodiment, the pants-type disposable diaper has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this and may be a shorts-type napkin.

  As described above, the present invention naturally includes various embodiments that are not described herein. Accordingly, the technical scope of the present invention is defined only by the invention specifying matters according to the scope of claims reasonable from the above description.
