Description

  The present invention relates to an absorbent article such as a sanitary napkin, and more particularly to an absorbent article capable of suppressing warping and wrinkling of a flap portion extending outward in the width direction from an absorbent body at the rear part of the absorbent article.

  Patent Document 1 discloses a sanitary napkin as an absorbent article having a rear flap extending outward in the width direction from the absorbent body at the rear part of the absorbent article, and having an uneven part formed by embossing on the rear flap. Have been described. The rigidity of the rear flap of the sanitary napkin of Patent Document 1 is enhanced by embossing. By increasing the rigidity of the rear flap, it is possible to prevent the rear flap from being twisted or wrinkled during mounting.

JP2003-339765A (FIG. 1, paragraph 0016, etc.)

  However, the sanitary napkin described above has the following problems.

  In the sanitary napkin described in Patent Document 1, the rigidity of the rear flap is relatively high, and therefore the rear flap may not be properly disposed along the roundness of the body. Therefore, the sanitary napkin does not fit the body, body fluid leaks, and the wearing feeling may be deteriorated. Further, since the rear flap portion is hard, for example, when a crease or crease is formed, the hard crease or crease hits the wearer, and the wearing feeling may deteriorate.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above-described problems, and is an absorbent article that can suppress wrinkles and kinks of the flap portion during wearing, and can be disposed along the wearer's body to suppress deterioration in wearing feeling. The purpose is to provide.

  In order to solve the above-described problems, an absorbent article according to the present invention is an absorbent article having a front-rear direction (longitudinal direction L) and a width direction (width direction W) perpendicular to the front-rear direction. A main body portion (main body portion 2) having an absorbent body 30), a wing portion (wing portion 43) protruding outward in the width direction from the main body portion and folded back to the non-skin contact surface side of the wearer's underwear, A flap portion (flap portion 60) that protrudes outward in the width direction from the main body portion behind the wing portion, and the flap portion has a length in the width direction of the flap portion and a region before and after the flap portion. A constricted portion (first constricted portion 61) formed shorter than the length in the width direction, and a first flap portion (first flap) which is located on the front side of the constricted portion and protrudes outward in the width direction from the constricted portion. Part 63) and the rear side of the constricted part And a second flap portion (second flap portion 64) that protrudes outward in the width direction from the constricted portion, and the flap portion is recessed in the thickness direction of the flap portion. The portion 70) is formed, and the dent portion extends from the inner side in the width direction toward the outer side in the width direction toward the rear.

  The wing portion is a portion where force is applied from the outer side in the width direction to the inner side when the wearer closes the leg. The flap part is arranged behind the wing part, and when a force is applied from the outer side in the width direction toward the inner side in the width direction, the force is applied from the front side where the wing part is located to the rear side. At this time, the flap part can absorb the force from the front by deforming the constricted part from the base point.

  Since the force applied to the flap portion from the wing portion side is absorbed by the constricted portion, the force propagating backward from the constricted portion can be reduced. Therefore, it can suppress that the force from the wing part side propagates to the whole flap part, and can prevent that a wrinkle and a twist generate | occur | produce on the whole flap part.

  In addition, by forming the recess so as to extend from the inner side in the width direction toward the outer side in the width direction as it goes rearward, the recess is along the direction in which the force is applied. . Therefore, it becomes easy to fit the flap part to the body and the underwear without difficulty. Therefore, disordered wrinkles are unlikely to occur in the flap portion, a deformation without a sense of incongruity can be achieved, and a clean wearing feeling can be obtained.

With reference to FIGS. 1-3, the absorbent article 1 which concerns on 1st Embodiment is demonstrated. FIG. 1 is a plan view of the absorbent article, and FIG. 2 is a rear view of the absorbent article. 3 is a cross-sectional view taken along line AA ′ shown in FIG. The absorbent article 1 according to the present embodiment is, for example, a sanitary napkin.

  The absorbent article 1 includes a top sheet 10 that comes into contact with the wearer's skin, a liquid-impermeable back sheet 20 that does not transmit liquid, and an absorber 30. The absorber 30 is disposed between the top sheet 10 and the back sheet 20. Therefore, the absorber 30 is shown with a broken line in FIG.1 and FIG.2. The absorbent body 30 is disposed at a central portion in the longitudinal direction L and the width direction W along the front-rear direction of the absorbent article 1.

  The absorbent article 1 is disposed on the outer side in the width direction with respect to the main body part 2 behind the wing part 43, the main body part 2 having the absorber 30, the wing part 43 disposed on the outer side in the width direction than the main body part 2. The flap part 60 is provided. The wing portion 43 is configured to be folded back to the non-skin contact surface side of the wearer's underwear.

  FIG. 1 illustrates a region RA of the wing portion in the longitudinal direction and a region RB of the flap portion in the longitudinal direction. The flap part in this Embodiment is the area | region extended to the width direction outer side rather than the main-body part 2, Comprising: It extends back from the rear side edge part of a wing part. The rear side end portion of the wing portion serving as the front side end portion of the flap portion 60 is a portion located on the innermost side in the width direction between the wing portion 43 and the flap portion 60. The rear end portion of the flap portion 60 is a portion that is constricted inwardly of the front and rear regions in the vicinity of the rear end portion of the absorbent article. The rear end of the flap portion in the present embodiment is coincident with the rear end of the first recess 71 described later. In addition, the rear side edge part of the flap part 60 may correspond with the rear side edge part of an absorbent article, and does not need to correspond with the rear side edge part of an absorbent article.

  Further, the absorbent article 1 includes a side sheet 41 provided outside the absorbent body 30 in the width direction W. The main body 2 is an area where the absorber 30 is arranged in a plan view, and is an area where the top sheet 10, the back sheet 20, and the absorber 30 are laminated.

  The top sheet 10 is a liquid-permeable sheet that transmits liquid such as body fluid. The top sheet 10 covers at least the surface of the absorber 30. The top sheet 10 is not particularly limited as long as it is a sheet-like material having a structure that allows liquid to permeate, such as a nonwoven fabric, a woven fabric, a perforated plastic sheet, and a mesh sheet. Either natural fibers or chemical fibers can be used as the woven or non-woven material.

  The back sheet 20 has substantially the same length as that of the top sheet 10. As the back sheet 20, a polyethylene sheet, a laminated nonwoven fabric mainly composed of polypropylene, a breathable resin film, a spunbond, a sheet obtained by bonding a breathable resin film to a nonwoven fabric such as spunlace, or the like can be used. The back sheet 20 is preferably made of a material having flexibility that does not cause a sense of incongruity when worn. The back sheet 20 is desirably liquid-impervious and moisture-permeable, and can be constituted by a microporous sheet obtained by stretching a melt-kneaded inorganic filler such as polyethylene or polypropylene. .

The absorber 30 includes hydrophilic fibers and pulp. The absorber 30 is formed of a material that can absorb body fluid such as menstrual blood. The absorbent body 30 may be formed by laminating hydrophilic fibers or powder by the airlaid method, an airlaid sheet obtained by forming hydrophilic fibers or powder into a sheet shape by the airlaid method, or a tissue (for example, It may be formed by placing pulverized pulp mixed with a superabsorbent polymer on a basis weight of 15 g / m ² ) and wrapping it with a tissue.

The absorbent body 30 according to the present embodiment is configured by wrapping a pulp obtained by laminating cotton-like pulp, synthetic pulp, or the like at a basis weight of about 100 to 300 g / m ² with protective paper (not shown). The absorber 30 may have a substantially uniform thickness on the entire surface or a non-uniform thickness. The protective paper is for maintaining the shape of the pulp, and for example, crepe paper or tissue paper can be used.

  The absorber 30 has a shape extending in the front-rear direction, and is approximately one size smaller than the back sheet 20. The length of the absorbent body 30 in the width direction W corresponds to the crotch interval of an adult female and is approximately 50 to 80 mm. The absorber 30 is bonded to the back sheet 20 with an adhesive such as hot melt. Moreover, in this Embodiment, the absorber 30 and the surface sheet 10 are adhere | attached with the hot-melt-adhesive.

  The absorber 30 is provided so as to include at least the center of the excretion opening contact area where the wearer's excretion opening comes into contact. The center of the excretory opening contact area coincides with the center in the longitudinal direction and the width direction of the central area where the wearer's excretion opening contacts. For example, in an absorbent article having a wing portion, the center in the longitudinal direction of the wing portion is the center in the longitudinal direction of the central region. Moreover, in the absorbent article which does not have a wing part, the position where the length dimension of the width direction of an absorber is the shortest becomes the center of the longitudinal direction of a center area | region. The excretory opening contact region is included in a region that contacts the wearer's crotch, and is located between the wearer's legs.

  The side sheets 41 are disposed on both sides of the top sheet 10. Similar to the top sheet, the side sheet 41 is disposed on the skin contact surface side of the absorbent body 30 and constitutes a part of the top sheet in the present invention. The side sheet 41 can be selected from the same material as the top sheet 10. However, in order to prevent menstrual blood from flowing over the side sheet 41 to the outside of the absorbent article 1, it is preferable to have hydrophobicity or water repellency. The side sheet 41 covers a part of the side edge of the absorber 30 and the wing part 43 and the flap part 60.

  The side sheet 41 according to the present embodiment is composed of an air-through nonwoven fabric. Air-through nonwoven fabric is soft and soft to the touch. When the flap portion is disposed along the body, the feeling of wearing can be further improved by improving the texture of the flap portion.

  In the wing part 43 and the flap part 60, an intermediate sheet 35 is provided between the side sheet 41 and the back sheet 20. The intermediate sheet 35 is composed of an air-through nonwoven fabric. The air-through nonwoven fabric is soft and soft because the bulk is recovered by blowing hot air through the nonwoven fabric and the hot air blown through the nonwoven fabric. When the flap portion is disposed along the body, the wearing feeling can be further improved.

  By providing the intermediate sheet 35, a difference in thickness or rigidity is formed at the boundary between the area where the intermediate sheet is disposed and the area where the intermediate sheet is not disposed. For example, the flap portion 60 is easily deformed with the end portion of the intermediate sheet as the base point.

  The intermediate sheet 35 is intermittently bonded to at least the side sheet 41 via an adhesive. The intermediate sheet according to the present embodiment is bonded to the top sheet 10 and the back sheet 20 through a hot melt adhesive arranged in a spiral shape. By intermittently joining the intermediate sheet 35 and the top sheet 10 or the like, the intermediate sheet 35 can be partially moved relative to the top sheet, and a soft texture can be maintained.

  In the absorbent article 1, the periphery of the surface sheet 10, the side sheet 41, and the back sheet 20 is joined, and the absorber 30 is enclosed. As a method for joining the top sheet 10 and the back sheet 20, any one or a combination of heat embossing, ultrasonic waves, or hot melt adhesive can be used.

  In the back sheet 20, an adhesive portion to which an adhesive is applied is provided in a plurality of regions on the surface that comes into contact with the undergarment (see FIG. 2). The adhesive part is provided on the back side of the main body part, and is provided on the back side of the wing part 43 and the central adhesive part 51 for fixing the absorbent article 1 to the crotch part of the underwear.

  FIG. 4 is a diagram schematically showing a state in which the absorbent article 1 is attached to the underwear. 5 is a cross-sectional view of the BB cross section shown in FIG. The external force from the outside in the width direction to the inside due to the wearer's movement or the like acts on a region sandwiched between the wing portions 43 disposed in the vicinity of the crotch portion.

  The wing portion 43 is a portion to which a force is applied from the outer side in the width direction toward the inner side when the wearer closes the leg. The flap part 60 is arrange | positioned back rather than the wing part 43, and when force is applied toward inner side from the width direction outer side, force is applied toward the back from the front side in which the wing part 43 is located.

  At this time, since the first constricted portion 61 and the second constricted portion 62 are formed in the flap portion 60, the flap portion 60 is deformed from the first constricted portion 61 and the second constricted portion 62 as a base point, and from the front side. Absorb power. For example, the force applied from the wing portion 43 side is absorbed by the first constricted portion 61, and the force propagating backward from the first constricted portion 61 can be reduced. Therefore, it can suppress that the force from the front side propagates to the whole flap part, and can prevent that a wrinkle and a twist generate | occur | produce on the whole flap part.

  Moreover, the maximum width position of the 1st flap part 63, the 2nd flap 64, and the 3rd flap part 65 is arrange | positioned rather than the center in the longitudinal direction of each flap part. For example, if the maximum width position of each flap portion is located on the front side, only the front side portion of the flap portion is locally bent, and the force cannot be absorbed by the entire flap portion.

  However, the position of the maximum width of each flap part is located behind the center in the front-rear direction of each flap part, so that the force can be absorbed in the entire flap part and the occurrence of wrinkles locally is suppressed. Can do.

  In addition, the second maximum width position is positioned outside the first maximum width position in the width direction, and the third maximum width position is positioned outside the second maximum width position in the width direction. That is, the maximum width position of the flap portion located at the rear is located on the outer side in the width direction than the maximum width position of the flap portion located at the front. Therefore, the force propagating from the front can be absorbed by the front flap, and then absorbed by the rear flap. That is, the force can be absorbed step by step. Moreover, since the width is widened toward the rear, it can be arranged along the underwear.

  The flap portion 60 is formed with a recessed portion 70 that is recessed in the thickness direction T. As shown in FIG. 3, the side sheet 41, the intermediate sheet 35, and the back sheet 20 that constitute the top sheet are compressed in the thickness direction of the recess 70. The recessed portion 70 includes a first recessed portion 71 extending rearward from the rear inner end portion 43RI of the wing portion 43, a second recessed portion 72 branched from the first recessed portion 71 and reaching the first constricted portion 61, A third recessed portion 73 that branches off from the first recessed portion 71 and reaches the second constricted portion 62, and a third maximum width portion that branches off from the first recessed portion 71 and is located on the outer side in the width direction of the third flap portion 65. And a fourth recess 74 that reaches the vicinity of 65WM.

  The dent is compressed in the thickness direction from the top sheet side to the back sheet side. By compressing from the top sheet side toward the back sheet side to form the recessed portion 70, it is possible to prevent the back sheet made of a film from being broken when forming the recessed portion. In the present embodiment, compression is performed from the side sheet 41 side constituting the top sheet toward the back sheet side.

  The 2nd dent part 72, the 3rd dent part 73, and the 4th dent part 40 are comprised so that it may extend from the width direction inner side to the width direction outer side as it goes back. By forming the dent portion so as to extend from the inner side in the width direction toward the outer side in the width direction as it goes rearward, the dent portion follows the direction in which the force is applied. Therefore, it becomes easy to fit the flap part 60 to the body and the underwear without difficulty. Therefore, disordered wrinkles are unlikely to occur in the flap portion, a deformation without a sense of incongruity can be achieved, and a clean wearing feeling can be obtained.

  Further, the outer end portion in the width direction of the third recessed portion 73 is configured to be positioned in the second constricted portion 62. According to such a configuration, the force propagated through the third recessed portion 73 can easily reach the second constricted portion, and can be easily folded with the second constricted portion 62 and the third recessed portion as the base points.

  Moreover, the recessed part 70 is provided in the position which does not overlap with the flap adhesion part 53 in the thickness direction T, as shown in FIG. By configuring the concave portion 70 and the flap bonding portion 53 so as not to overlap, the flap portion is not folded by the bonding portion between the underwear and the flap portion, so that the flap portion does not affect the bonding position to the underwear. 60 can be folded. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the flap bonding portion 53 from being peeled off from the underwear, and to easily maintain the bonding position in the entire absorbent article 1.
