Description

  The present invention relates to a pants-type disposable diaper.

  The pants-type disposable diaper includes an exterior body that individually or integrally configures the front body and the back body, and an interior body including an absorbent body that is attached to the exterior body so as to extend from the front body to the back body, Generally, a waist opening and a pair of left and right leg openings are formed by joining the side edges of the outer body of the front body and the side edges of the outer body of the rear body to form a side seal part. Is.

  In such a pants-type disposable diaper, in order to improve the fit to the body, the exterior body has a laminated structure having a plurality of sheet layers, and various elastic members are attached in an expanded state between the sheet layers. In particular, an elongated elastic member along the width direction is provided in the front-rear direction in the waist region defined as the front-rear direction range corresponding to the side seal portion and the intermediate region located between the front and rear waist regions. Those that are attached in a state where they are extended in the width direction at intervals are relatively high in fit to the body (see, for example, Patent Documents 1 to 6).

  As one form of the pants-type disposable diaper, both the side parts of the front exterior body and the both side parts of the rear exterior body are joined at the side seal part to form a cylindrical shape, and the front exterior body to the rear exterior It is provided with an interior body that absorbs excrement provided to the inner surface of the body, and the front exterior body and the rear exterior body are separated in the front-rear direction without being continuous on the crotch side ( For example, see Patent Documents 2 to 6). Such an exterior two-part type has the advantage that the exterior body does not have to be excised in order to form the leg openings, or even if it is excised, only a small area is required. That is, since the separation piece (trim) is discarded, there is an advantage that waste (trim loss) of the material can be suppressed.

  Because the distance from the position corresponding to the crotch part of the interior body to the intersection position with the exterior body is long when the pants type disposable diaper of the exterior split type is installed, the interior body is easily shaken from side to side with the intersection position as a fulcrum, Compared to a type having an integral exterior body that is continuous from the front body to the back body, the interior body is easy to move laterally. In addition, the exterior two-split pants-type disposable diaper has a crotch side edge of the exterior body that is linear or close to the width direction, and intersects the side edge of the interior body at a right angle or an angle close thereto. . These mean that the leg-type disposable diaper of the exterior two-divided type tends to have insufficient fit around the legs.

  Therefore, in a pants-type disposable diaper of the exterior two-part type, as a three-dimensional gather that stands up from the both sides of the interior body to the front side, the base side portion stands diagonally toward the center in the width direction, and the tip side portion from the middle portion It is preferable to adopt a bent configuration that rises obliquely toward the outer side in the width direction, and raises the three-dimensional gather in a three-dimensional manner even near the intersection of the interior body and the exterior body to improve the fit around the legs.

  However, in a pants-type disposable diaper of the exterior two-part type, when a three-dimensional gather in a bent form is adopted, the point that the inner body is easy to move in the lateral direction is not improved, so the portions located on both sides of the crack in the three-dimensional gather In some cases, the inclination toward the rupture would cause it to fall in the opposite direction, that is, the rupture side. Such a state is not preferable because the interior body may easily bite into the crack and the cover of the heel portion becomes insufficient.

JP 2004-073428 A JP-T-2006-525857 JP 2011-147516 A JP 2014-028308 A Japanese Patent No. 4964993 Japanese Patent Laying-Open No. 2015-092947

  Therefore, the main problem of the present invention is to achieve both the improvement of the fit of the three-dimensional gather and the prevention of the fall of the three-dimensional gather on both sides of the crack in the pants-type disposable diaper of the exterior two-part type.

A typical aspect of the present invention that solves the above problems is as follows.
<First aspect>
The front exterior body constituting at least the waist circumference part of the front body and the rear exterior body constituting at least the waist circumference part of the rear body are separately provided, and the front exterior body and the rear exterior body are in the front-rear direction in the middle in the front-rear direction. Are separated from each other,
The interior body incorporating the absorber extends in the front-rear direction from the front exterior body to the rear exterior body, and is joined to the front exterior body and the rear exterior body, respectively.
A side seal portion in which both side portions of the front exterior body and both side portions of the rear exterior body are joined, and a waist opening and a pair of left and right leg openings,
In pants-type disposable diapers;
The interior body includes a three-dimensional gather that rises from both sides,
The three-dimensional gather has a main body portion having a base side portion extending from the both sides of the surface of the interior body to the center in the width direction, and a front end side portion extending outward in the width direction from the tip of the base side portion, and the main body portion. The front and rear direction both ends are in a lying state, a lying part fixed to the surface of the interior body, a non-fixed free part located between the front and rear lying parts, and at least the front and back of this free part A gather elastic member provided along the direction,
The three-dimensional gather is continuous or adjacent to the front side of the lodging part on the rear side, the tip side part is joined to the base side part in a lying state, and the base side part and the surface of the interior body are joined. Has a rear half-fallen part,
A pants-type disposable diaper characterized by that.

(Function and effect)
In the first aspect, in the exterior two-divided type pants-type disposable diaper, by adopting the three-dimensional gather in the bent form, not only the fit of the three-dimensional gather is excellent, but the three-dimensional gather as described above. Since the rear half-falling part is provided, the height of the three-dimensional gather increases stepwise, and the fitting position of the rear half-falling part becomes easy to stabilize, so even if the interior body moves left and right, The fitting position is not greatly shaken, and the tip side portion of the three-dimensional gather is fixed, so that it is difficult to bite into the crack.

<Second aspect>
The inner and outer joints that join the interior body and the rear exterior body are provided so as to extend across both ends in the width direction across the entire front-rear direction.
The underpants type disposable diaper of a 1st aspect.

(Function and effect)
When the inner and outer joints that join the interior body and the rear exterior body have the shape of the second aspect, the tip side portion and the fixed root side portion of the three-dimensional gather are less likely to fall down in the bursting direction, It is preferable because the inner body is more difficult to bite by cracking.

<Third Aspect>
The absorber has a constricted portion having a narrower width than both front and rear sides in the middle in the front-rear direction,
The rear half-falling part is located on the absorber without overlapping the constricted part,
The underpants type disposable diaper of a 2nd aspect.

(Function and effect)
The range in the front-rear direction of the rear half-falling portion may be determined as appropriate, but the third embodiment is particularly preferable because the interior body is difficult to bite into the crack.

<Fourth aspect>
The rear half-falling portion is the same as the front edge of the rear exterior body, or extends to the center in the front-rear direction.
The underpants type disposable diaper of the 2nd or 3rd aspect.

(Function and effect)
The range in the front-rear direction of the rear half-falling portion may be determined as appropriate, but when the rear half-falling portion includes an intersecting portion between the interior body and the exterior body, as in the third aspect, In addition, it is possible to prevent the inner body from biting into the cracks stably even when the inner body moves left and right.

<Fifth aspect>
The rear half-falling part is longer in the front-rear direction than the rear lying part,
The underpants type disposable diaper of any one aspect of 2nd-4th.

(Function and effect)
Such a length relationship is preferable because the rear half-falling portion functions particularly effectively.

<Sixth aspect>
The three-dimensional gather is continuous or adjacent to the rear side of the lodging portion on the front side, the base side portion is joined to the surface of the interior body in the lying state, and the tip side portion and the base side portion are joined. Has no front half-lodge part,
The underpants type disposable diaper of any one aspect of 1st-5th.

(Function and effect)
If both the front half-falling part where only the front end part is free and the rear half-falling part where only the base side part is free are provided, the three-dimensional gather will stand high over a long range in the front-rear direction In addition, since each of the tip side portion and the base side portion is not excessively free, the fit around the legs is good.

  As described above, according to the present invention, in an exterior two-divided type pants-type disposable diaper, there are advantages such as being able to achieve both improved fit of a three-dimensional gather and prevention of a three-dimensional gather from falling on both sides of a crack.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. The dotted pattern in the cross-sectional view shows an adhesive as a joining means for joining the constituent members located on the front side and the back side, and is a solid, bead, curtain, summit or spiral coating of hot melt adhesive, or pattern coating (Transfer of hot melt adhesive in a relief printing method) or the like, or the fixing portion of the elastic member is formed by application to the outer peripheral surface of the elastic member such as a comb gun or a sheath coating instead of or together with this is there. Examples of hot melt adhesives include EVA, adhesive rubber (elastomer), olefin, and polyester / polyamide types, which can be used without any particular limitation. As a joining means for joining the constituent members, means by material welding such as heat sealing or ultrasonic sealing can be used.

  1 to 13 show an example of a pants-type disposable diaper. This pants-type disposable diaper passes through the crotch part from the front exterior body 12F constituting at least the waist part of the front body F, the rear exterior body 12B constituting at least the waist part of the rear body B, and the front exterior body 12F. An interior body 200 provided inside the exterior bodies 12F and 12B so as to extend to the rear exterior body 12B, and both sides of the front exterior body 12F and both sides of the rear exterior body 12B are joined. By forming the side seal portion 12A, the opening formed by the front and rear end portions of the exterior bodies 12F and 12B becomes a waist opening WO through which the wearer's body passes, and the exterior body 12F is formed on both sides in the width direction of the interior body 200. , 12B and the portions surrounded by the side edges of the interior body 200 are leg openings LO through which the legs pass. The interior body 200 is a portion that absorbs and holds excrement such as urine, and the exterior bodies 12F and 12B are portions that support the interior body 200 with respect to the wearer's body. The symbol Y indicates the total length of the diaper in the deployed state (the length in the front-rear direction from the edge of the waist opening WO of the front body F to the edge of the waist opening WO of the back body B), and the symbol X indicates the diaper in the deployed state. The full width of is shown.

  The pants-type disposable diaper of the present embodiment includes a waist region T defined as a front-rear direction range (a front-rear direction range extending from the waist opening WO to the upper end of the leg opening LO) having the side seal portion 12A, and a portion that forms the leg opening LO. An intermediate region L defined as a front-rear direction range (between a front-rear direction region having the side seal portion 12A of the front body F and a front-rear direction region having the side seal portion 12A of the rear body B). The waistline region T can be divided into a “waist portion” W that conceptually forms the edge of the waist opening and a “waist lower portion” U that is a lower portion than this. Usually, in the case where the waist region WO has a boundary where the stretching stress in the width direction WD changes (for example, the thickness of the elastic member or the elongation rate changes), the waist opening WO side is more waist-like than the waist opening WO side boundary. When there is no such boundary, the waist opening WO side becomes the waist portion W with respect to the absorbent body 56 or the interior body 200. These lengths in the front-rear direction vary depending on the size of the product and can be determined as appropriate. For example, the waist portion W may be 15 to 40 mm, and the waist lower portion U may be 65 to 120 mm. On the other hand, both side edges of the intermediate region L are wrapped in a U-shape or a curved shape along the circumference of the leg of the wearer, and this is a portion into which the wearer's leg is put. As a result, the unfolded pants-type disposable diaper has a substantially hourglass shape as a whole.

(Interior body)
The interior body 200 can take any shape, but is rectangular in the illustrated form. As shown in FIGS. 3 to 5, the interior body 200 includes a top sheet 30 on the body side, a liquid-impermeable sheet 11, and an absorbent element 50 interposed therebetween. Yes, it is the main body that takes up the absorption function. Reference numeral 40 denotes an intermediate sheet (second sheet) provided between the top sheet 30 and the absorbent element 50 in order to quickly transfer the liquid that has passed through the top sheet 30 to the absorbent element 50. These show the side gathers 60 extended from both sides of the interior body 200 so as to contact the circumference of the wearer's leg in order to prevent excrement from leaking to both sides of the interior body 200.

(Top sheet)
The top sheet 30 has a property of allowing liquid to pass through, and examples thereof include a porous or non-porous nonwoven fabric, a porous plastic sheet, and the like. 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, if flexibility and drapeability are required, the spunbond method and spunlace method are preferable. If bulkiness and softness are required, the air-through method, point bond method, and thermal bond method are preferable processing methods. .

  The top sheet 30 may be composed of a single sheet or 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.

  Both side portions of the top sheet 30 may be folded back to the back side at the side edge of the absorbent element 50, or may be projected to the side from the side edge of the absorbent element 50 without being folded back.

  For the purpose of preventing displacement of the top sheet 30 with respect to the back side member, the top sheet 30 is preferably fixed to a member adjacent to the back side by a joining means by material welding such as heat sealing or ultrasonic sealing, or a hot melt adhesive. . In the illustrated form, the top sheet 30 is fixed to the surface of the intermediate sheet 40 and the surface of the packaging sheet 58 on the front side of the absorbent body 56 by a hot melt adhesive applied to the back surface thereof.

(Intermediate sheet)
An intermediate sheet (also referred to as “second sheet”) 40 having a higher liquid permeation rate than the top sheet 30 can be provided in order to quickly transfer the liquid that has permeated through the top sheet 30 to the absorber. The intermediate sheet 40 is for quickly transferring the liquid to the absorber to enhance the absorption performance by the absorber and preventing the “returning” phenomenon of the absorbed liquid from the absorber. The intermediate sheet 40 can be omitted.

Examples of the intermediate sheet 40 include the same materials as the top sheet 30, spunlace, spunbond, SMS, pulp nonwoven fabric, mixed sheet of pulp and rayon, point bond, or crepe paper. In particular, an air-through nonwoven fabric is preferable because it is bulky. It is preferable to use a core-sheath composite fiber for the air-through nonwoven fabric. In this case, the resin used for the core may be polypropylene (PP), but polyester (PET) having high rigidity is preferable. Basis weight is preferably ^{17~80g / m 2, 25~60g / m} 2 is more preferable. The thickness of the raw fiber of the nonwoven fabric is preferably 2.0 to 10 dtex. In order to make the nonwoven fabric bulky, it is also preferable to use an eccentric fiber, a hollow fiber, or an eccentric and hollow fiber that does not have a core at the center as the mixed fiber of all or part of the raw fiber.

  The intermediate sheet 40 in the illustrated form is disposed in the center shorter than the width of the absorber 56, but may be provided over the entire width. The length in the front-rear 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.

  The intermediate sheet 40 is preferably fixed to a member adjacent to the back side by a joining means by material welding such as heat sealing or ultrasonic sealing, or a hot melt adhesive for the purpose of preventing positional displacement with respect to the back side member. . In the illustrated embodiment, the intermediate sheet 40 is fixed to the surface of the portion of the packaging sheet 58 located on the front side of the absorbent body 56 with a hot melt adhesive applied to the back surface thereof.

(Liquid impervious sheet)
The material of the liquid-impermeable sheet 11 is not particularly limited. For example, a plastic film made of an olefin resin such as polyethylene or polypropylene, a laminated nonwoven fabric provided with a plastic film on the surface of the nonwoven fabric, or a plastic film For example, a laminated sheet in which a nonwoven fabric or the like is laminated and bonded to each other can be exemplified. The liquid-impermeable sheet 11 is preferably made of a liquid-impermeable and moisture-permeable material that is preferably used from the viewpoint of preventing stuffiness. As a plastic film having moisture permeability, a microporous plastic film obtained by kneading an inorganic filler in an olefin resin such as polyethylene or polypropylene, forming a sheet, and then stretching in a uniaxial or biaxial direction. Is widely used. In addition, non-woven fabric using microdenier fibers, leakproof reinforcement by reducing the voids of the fibers by applying heat or pressure, and methods such as coating with a superabsorbent resin or hydrophobic resin or water repellent Thus, a sheet that is liquid-impermeable without using a plastic film can also be used as the liquid-impermeable sheet 11, but has sufficient adhesive strength when bonded to the cover nonwoven fabric 13 described later via a hot-melt adhesive. Therefore, it is desirable to use a resin film.

  The liquid-impermeable sheet 11 has a width that can be accommodated on the back side of the absorbent element 50 as shown in the drawing, and in order to improve leakage prevention, the liquid-impermeable sheet 11 wraps around both sides of the absorbent element 50 to form the side surface of the top sheet 30 of the absorbent element 50. It can also extend to both sides. The width of this extended portion is suitably about 5 to 20 mm on each of the left and right sides.

  Moreover, the excretion indicator from which a color changes by absorption of a liquid part can be provided in the inner side of the liquid-impermeable sheet 11, especially the absorber 56 side surface.

(Side gather)
The side gathers 60 extend along the both sides of the interior body 200 in the entire front-rear direction LD, and are provided to contact the circumference of the wearer's legs to prevent side leakage. This includes what are called gathers and what are called planar gathers.

  The side gathers 60 of the first embodiment shown in FIGS. 1, 3 and 4 are so-called three-dimensional gathers, and stand up from the side of the interior body 200 to the front side. In the side gather 60, the base side portion 60B rises obliquely toward the center in the width direction, and the tip side portion 60A rises obliquely toward the outside in the width direction from the intermediate portion. However, as in a second embodiment to be described later, it is possible to make appropriate changes, such as a configuration in which the entirety stands up in the center in the width direction.

  More specifically, the side gather 60 according to the first embodiment is formed by folding a band-shaped gathered nonwoven fabric 62 having a length equal to the length in the front-rear direction of the interior body 200 in the width direction WD at the tip portion. In addition to being folded into one, a plurality of elongated gather elastic members 63 are fixed along the longitudinal direction and spaced apart in the width direction WD between the folded portion and the sheet in the vicinity thereof. . A base end portion (an end portion opposite to the sheet folding portion in the width direction WD) of the side gather 60 on the side opposite to the front end portion is located on a side portion on the back side of the liquid-impermeable sheet 11 in the interior body 200. A fixed root portion 65 is formed, and a portion other than the root portion 65 is a main body portion 66 (a portion on the folded portion side) extending from the root portion 65. The main body portion 66 includes a root side portion 60B extending toward the center in the width direction, and a tip side portion 60A that is folded back at the tip of the root side portion 60B and extends outward in the width direction. This form is a surface contact type side gather 60, but a line contact type side gather 60 that is not folded outward in the width direction can also be employed. And while the both ends of the front-back direction among the main body parts 66 are set to the fall-down part 67 fixed with respect to the side part surface of the top sheet 30 in a lying state, the front-back direction intermediate part located between these is not fixed. The gather elastic member 63 along the front-rear direction LD is fixed in an extended state to at least the tip of the free portion 68. The gather elastic member 63 is not fixed to the gathered nonwoven fabric 62 at the front and rear end portions of the side gather 60, but at least at the tip portion is the same position as the crotch side edge of the lying portion 67 or the waist. It is preferable that the position is fixed to the close position because the three-dimensional standing is stabilized.

  In the side gathers 60 of the first embodiment configured as described above, the contraction force of the elongated elastic member 63 acts so that the both ends in the front-rear direction are brought close to each other. In contrast to being fixed so as not to be fixed, there is a non-fixed free part 68 between them, so that only the free part 68 stands up against the body side as shown in FIG. In particular, when the root portion 65 is located on the back side of the interior body 200, the side gathers 60 are faced around the legs because the free portion 68 stands up so as to open outward in the width direction at and around the crotch portion. It comes in contact, and the fit is improved.

  Like the side gather 60 of the first embodiment, the main body portion 66 has a root side portion 60B extending toward the center in the width direction, and a tip side portion 60A that is folded back at the tip of the root side portion 60B and extends outward in the width direction. In the bent form consisting of the above, at the lying portion 67, the tip side portion 60A and the base side portion 60B are joined in the lying down state, and the base side portion 60B is joined to the top sheet 30 in the lying down state. At least one of a hot melt adhesive by various coating methods and a material welding method such as heat sealing or ultrasonic sealing can be used for joining the opposing surfaces in the lying portion 67. In this case, the joining of the base side part 60B and the top sheet 30 and the joining of the tip side part 60A and the base side part 60B may be performed by the same means or by different means. For example, it is one preferable embodiment that the base side portion 60B and the top sheet 30 are joined by a hot melt adhesive, and the tip side portion 60A and the base side portion 60B are joined by material welding.

  In particular, in an exterior two-divided type pants-type disposable diaper in which the front exterior body 12F and the rear exterior body 12B are separated from each other in the front-rear direction LD, as shown in FIG. The base side portion 60B is preferably joined to the top sheet 30 in the lying state, and the front half-falling portion 68F where the tip side portion 60A and the root side portion 60B are not joined is preferably provided. In the front half-falling portion 68F, only the tip side portion 60A is free, and although the height is low, the tip portion reliably rises with respect to the top sheet 30 due to the contraction of the elongated elastic member 63. However, since the fitting position of the side gathers 60 is good and the fitting position is stable because the height is low, the fitting position of the side gathers 60 greatly fluctuates even if the interior body 200 moves left and right. There is no. Further, in this case, the front half-falling portion 68F is the same as the rear edge of the front exterior body 12F or extends to the center in the front-rear direction (that is, the front half-falling portion 68F is connected to the front exterior body 12F and the interior body). 200 crossing positions) is preferable because both the stability of the interior body 200 with respect to the left and right movement and the fit of the side gathers 60 with respect to the inguinal portion are improved. In the normal case, the length of the front-side lying portion 67 in the front-rear direction is about 0.10 to 0.25 times the length in the front-rear direction of the interior body 200, and the length in the front-rear direction of the front half-falling portion 68F is added thereto. The dimensions are preferably about 0.15 to 0.30 times the length of the interior body 200 in the front-rear direction. 10 indicates a hot-melt adhesive that joins the tip-side portion 60A and the base-side portion 60B, and BF indicates a hot-melt adhesive that joins the base-side portion 60B and the top sheet 30. ing.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 11, the tip side portion 60A is joined to the root side portion 60B in a lying state continuously or adjacent to the front side of the rear side lying portion 67, and the root side portion 60B and the top sheet 30 If the rear half-falling portion 68B is not joined, only the base side portion 60B is free and the tip side portion 60A is fixed, and the height of the side gather 60 is increased stepwise. Since the fitting position of the rear half-falling portion 68B is likely to be stable, the fitting position of the side gathers 60 does not greatly fluctuate even if the interior body 200 moves to the left and right. It is preferable because it is difficult to fall in the opposite direction due to the inclination to go. Since the rear half-falling portion 68B abuts against the bulging portion of the buttocks, there is no fear that a gap will be formed between the tip-side portion 60A and the body. Further, in this case, when the rear half-falling portion 68B is the same as the front edge of the rear exterior body 12B or extends to the center in the front-rear direction (that is, the rear half-falling portion 68B is the rear exterior body 12B). And the position where the interior body 200 is crossed) is preferable because the inner body 200 can be prevented from biting into the cracks in a stable manner even when the interior body 200 moves left and right. Further, in this case, the length in the front-rear direction of the rear half-falling portion 68B is preferably longer than the length in the front-rear direction of the rear-side fallen portion 67. Is about 0.15 to 0.30 times the length in the front-rear direction of the interior body 200, and the dimension obtained by adding the length in the front-rear direction of the rear half-falling portion 68B is 0 of the length in the front-rear direction of the interior body 200 .About 20 to 0.35 times is preferable. 11 indicates a hot-melt adhesive that joins the tip-side portion 60A and the base-side portion 60B, and BF indicates a hot-melt adhesive that joins the base-side portion 60B and the top sheet 30. ing.

The gathered nonwoven fabric 62 is a flexible nonwoven fabric excellent in uniformity and concealment, such as spunbond nonwoven fabric (SS, SSS, etc.), SMS nonwoven fabric (SMS, SSMMS, etc.), melt blown nonwoven fabric, etc. A treated product can be suitably used, and the fiber basis weight is preferably about 10 to 30 g / m ² . As the elongated elastic member 63, thread rubber or the like can be used. When spandex thread rubber is used, the thickness is preferably 470 to 1240 dtex, more preferably 620 to 940 dtex. The elongation rate at the time of fixation is preferably 150 to 350%, more preferably 200 to 300%. The term “elongation rate” means a value when the natural length is 100%. Moreover, as shown in the drawing, a waterproof film 64 can be interposed between the gathered nonwoven fabrics 62 folded in two. In this case, the gathered nonwoven fabric 62 is partially omitted in the portion where the waterproof film 64 is present. However, in order to make the appearance and feel of the product like a cloth, it is necessary that at least the outer surface from the base end to the tip end of the side gather 60 is formed of the gathered nonwoven fabric 62 as shown in the figure. It is.

  The number of the elongated elastic members 63 provided in the free part of the side gathers 60 is preferably 2 to 6, and more preferably 3 to 5. The arrangement interval 60d is suitably 3 to 10 mm. If comprised in this way, in the range which has arrange | positioned the elongate elastic member 63, it will become easy to hit | skin with respect to skin. The elongated elastic member 63 may be disposed not only at the distal end side but also at the base side.

  In the free part 68 of the side gather 60, hot melt adhesives and heat seals and super seals by various coating methods are used to bond the inner layer and the outer layer of the gathered nonwoven fabric 62 and to fix the gather elastic member 63 sandwiched therebetween. At least one of fixing means by material welding such as a sonic seal can be used. Since the flexibility is lost when the entire inner layer and outer layer of the gathered nonwoven fabric 62 are bonded together, it is preferable that portions other than the bonding portion of the gather elastic member 63 are not bonded or are bonded weakly. In the illustrated form, a hot melt adhesive is applied only to the outer peripheral surface of the gathered elastic member 63 by a coating means such as a comb gun or a sure wrap nozzle, and sandwiched between the inner layer and the outer layer of the gathered nonwoven fabric 62, thereby gathering the gathered elastic member 63. Only the hot melt adhesive applied to the outer peripheral surface of the non-woven fabric 62 is used to fix the elongated elastic member to the inner layer and the outer layer of the gathered nonwoven fabric 62 and to fix the inner layer and the outer layer of the gathered nonwoven fabric 62. Yes.

  Similarly, for the fixing of the waterproof film 64 and the gathered nonwoven fabric 62 incorporated in the side gather 60 and the fixing of the lying portion 67, hot melt adhesives by various application methods, and materials such as heat seal and ultrasonic seal At least one of means by welding can be used.

  The dimensions of the side gathers 60 of the first embodiment can be determined as appropriate, but in the case of infant use, for example, as shown in FIG. 3, the standing height of the side gathers 60 (the width of the main body portion 66 in the unfolded state). (Directional length) W2 is preferably 15 to 60 mm, particularly preferably 20 to 40 mm. Moreover, it is preferable that the separation distance W1 between the folds located on the innermost side in a state where the side gathers 60 are flatly folded so as to be parallel to the surface of the top sheet 30 is 60 to 190 mm, particularly 70 to 140 mm. In the case of an adult use, the standing height (the length in the width direction of the main body portion 66 in the unfolded state) W2 of the side gathers 60 is preferably 20 to 60 mm, particularly preferably 30 to 55 mm. In addition, the separation distance W1 between the innermost folds in a state where the side gathers 60 are folded flat so as to be parallel to the surface of the top sheet 30 is preferably 110 to 190 mm, particularly preferably 120 to 150 mm.

  The side gathers 60 of the first embodiment include only a three-dimensional gather, but may include both a three-dimensional gather and a planar gather, or may include only a planar gather. 12 and 13 illustrate a second form of side gather 60 that includes both solid gathers and planar gathers. Each side gather 60 is a first portion 61 (planar gathering portion) that protrudes to the side of the interior body 200 from a root portion 65 fixed to the side portion on the back side of the liquid-impermeable sheet 11 in the interior body 200. And a second portion 69 (a three-dimensional gathered portion) that protrudes from the root portion 65 fixed to both sides of the top sheet 30 in the interior body 200 to the front side of the interior body 200. More specifically, a strip-shaped gathered nonwoven fabric 62 having a length equal to the length in the front-rear direction of the interior body 200 extends laterally from the root portion 65 and is folded back to the front side at the tip of the first portion 61. The portion folded back to the front side reaches the second portion 69 through the first portion 61, and is folded at the tip of the second portion 69. As for the overlapping part in the gathered nonwoven fabric 62, the opposing part is joined by a hot-melt adhesive or the like. Moreover, while the front-rear direction both ends of the 2nd part 69 are set as the fallen part 67 fixed with respect to the side part surface of the top sheet 30 in a lying state, the front-back direction intermediate part located between these is An unfixed free portion 68 is provided. At least in the front-rear direction intermediate portion of the first portion 61 and the free portion 68 of the second portion 69, one or more gather elastic members 63 along the front-rear direction LD are extended or spaced apart in the width direction WD. The free portion 68 of the second portion 69 is contracted in the front-rear direction LD by the contraction force to form a three-dimensional gather that touches around the leg, and the first portion 61 contracts in the front-rear direction LD. A flat gather that touches the surroundings.

  The three-dimensional gather in the side gathers 60 of the second form is a form that rises as a whole in the center in the width direction, but is not limited to this, like the side gathers 60 of the first form. Appropriate changes can be made, such as a bent form. Other points relating to the second embodiment, such as the material of the gathered nonwoven fabric 62 and the material of the gathered elastic member 63, are the same as those in the first embodiment, and thus the description thereof is omitted.

(Absorption element)
The absorbent element 50 includes an absorbent body 56 and a packaging sheet 58 that wraps the entire absorbent body 56. The packaging sheet 58 can be omitted.

(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 degree of crimp of the crimped fibers can be, for example, about 5 to 75, preferably 10 to 50, and more preferably about 15 to 50 per 2.54 cm. Further, a crimped fiber that is uniformly crimped is often used. It is preferable to disperse and hold superabsorbent polymer particles in the absorber 56.

  The absorber 56 may have a rectangular shape. However, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 7 and the like, if the hourglass shape has a constricted portion 56N having a narrower width than the both front and rear sides, as shown in FIGS. The fit of the body 56 itself and the side gathers 60 around the legs is preferable.

  Further, the size of the absorbent body 56 can be appropriately determined as long as it extends to the front, rear, left, and right of the urination port position, but preferably extends to the peripheral portion of the interior body 200 or the vicinity thereof in the front-rear direction LD and the width direction WD. . Reference numeral 56X indicates the full width of the absorber 56.

(Superabsorbent polymer particles)
The absorber 56 can contain superabsorbent polymer particles in a part or all thereof. Superabsorbent polymer particles include “powder” in addition to “particles”. As the superabsorbent polymer particles 54, those used for this type of disposable diaper can be used as they are, for example, by sieving (shaking for 5 minutes) using a 500 μm standard sieve (JIS Z8801-1: 2006). The proportion of particles remaining on the top is preferably 30% by weight or less, and the proportion of particles remaining on the screen by sieving (shaking for 5 minutes) using a 180 μm standard sieve (JIS Z8801-1: 2006) 60% by weight or more is 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 70 seconds or less, particularly 40 seconds or less are preferably used. If the water absorption speed is too slow, the liquid supplied into the absorber 56 is likely to cause a so-called reverse return that returns to the outside of the absorber 56.

  Further, as the superabsorbent polymer particles, those having a gel strength of 1000 Pa or more are preferably used. Thereby, even if it is a case where it is set as the bulky absorber 56, the sticky feeling after liquid absorption can be suppressed effectively.

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 , the effect is saturated.

  If necessary, the superabsorbent polymer particles can adjust the spraying density or spraying amount in the plane direction of the absorber 56. For example, it is possible to increase the amount of the liquid excretion site more than other sites. When gender differences are taken into account, men can increase the front spray density (amount), while women can increase the center spray density (amount). In addition, a portion where no polymer exists locally (for example, in a spot shape) in the planar direction of the absorber 56 can also be provided.

(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 SMS nonwoven fabric (SMS, SSMMS, etc.) is particularly suitable, and the material can be polypropylene, polyethylene / polypropylene composite material, or the like. The basis weight is preferably 5 to 40 g / m ² , particularly 10 to 30 g / m ² .

  The packaging form of the packaging sheet 58 can be determined as appropriate, but from the viewpoint of ease of manufacture and prevention of leakage of the superabsorbent polymer particles from the front and rear end edges, the cylinder is formed so as to surround the front and back surfaces and both side surfaces of the absorber 56. It is preferable that the front and rear edge portions protrude from the front and rear of the absorbent body 56, and the overlapping portion and the overlapping portion of the front and rear protruding portions are joined by a joining means such as hot melt adhesive or material welding.

(Exterior body)
The exterior bodies 12F and 12B constitute at least the waist part of the front body F, not the integrated exterior body 12 that continues through the crotch from the front body F to the back body B as shown in FIGS. The front exterior body 12F, which is a part, and the rear exterior body 12B, which is a part constituting at least the waist part of the back body B, are continuous on the crotch side. Rather, they are spaced apart in the front-rear direction LD. This separation distance 12d can be about 150 to 250 mm, for example.

  The exterior bodies 12 </ b> F and 12 </ b> B have a waistline portion that is a front-rear direction range corresponding to the waistline region T. Further, in this embodiment, the rear exterior body 12B has a longer longitudinal dimension than the front exterior body 12F, and the front exterior body 12F does not have a portion corresponding to the intermediate region L. The side exterior body 12B has a collar cover portion C that extends from the waistline region T to the intermediate region L side. Although not shown, the front exterior body 12F is also provided with a collar cover portion that extends from the waistline region T toward the intermediate region L, a configuration that does not provide a collar cover portion while providing a groin cover portion, and the front exterior body 12F and It is not necessary to provide a portion corresponding to the intermediate region L in both of the rear exterior bodies 12B. In the illustrated embodiment, the lower edge of the buttock cover portion C is formed in a straight line shape along the width direction WD, as with the lower edge of the front exterior body 12F. It can also be a curve that becomes.

  The front-rear dimension of the side edge of the buttock cover portion C may be determined as appropriate, but if it is too long, the corner of the side edge on the side of the leg opening LO may flutter and the appearance and wearing feeling may be deteriorated. Preferably there is.

  As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the outer bodies 12 </ b> F and 12 </ b> B are composed of an outer sheet layer 12 </ b> S and an inner sheet layer 12 </ b> H that are respectively positioned outside and inside elastic members 15 to 19, which will be described later. It is joined by the joining means. The sheet material that forms the outer sheet layer 12S and the sheet material that forms the inner sheet layer 12H may be a single sheet material, or may be individual sheet materials. That is, in the former case, the inner sheet layer is formed by an inner part and an outer part of one sheet material folded at the edge of the waist opening WO (may be an edge on the crotch side) in a part or all of the exterior body. 12H and the outer sheet layer 12S are respectively formed. In the former form, there is an advantage that the number of sheet materials is small, and in the latter form, there is an advantage that misalignment is difficult when the inner sheet layer 12H and the outer sheet layer 12S are bonded together. The illustrated form corresponds to the latter, and the sheet material forming the inner sheet layer 12H extends only to the edge of the waist opening WO, but the sheet material forming the outer sheet layer 12S is the inner sheet layer 12H. The sheet material is wrapped around the waist side edge of the sheet material and folded back inside, and the folded portion 12r extends so as to cover the end of the interior body 200 on the waist side.

The sheet material used for the outer sheet layer 12S and the inner sheet layer 12H can be used without any particular limitation, but is preferably a non-woven fabric. For example, synthetic fibers such as olefins such as polyethylene and polypropylene, polyesters and polyamides, Nonwoven fabrics composed of mixed fibers, composite fibers or the like in which more than one species are used can be used. 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. When using a nonwoven fabric, the basis weight is preferably about 10 to 30 g / m ² .

Moreover, it is preferable that the total weight of the exterior bodies 12F and 12B is about 20 to 60 g / m ² .

(Extensible / non-extensible area)
The exterior bodies 12F and 12B are provided with elastic members 15 to 19 between the outer sheet layer 12S and the inner sheet layer 12H in order to enhance the fit of the wearer around the torso. An expansion / contraction region A2 that elastically expands / contracts to the WD is formed. In the stretchable region A2, in the natural length state, the outer sheet layer 12S and the inner sheet layer 12H are contracted with the contraction of the elastic member to form wrinkles or wrinkles. The sheet layer 12 </ b> S and the inner sheet layer 12 </ b> H can be stretched to a predetermined stretch rate that can be fully stretched. As the elastic members 15 to 19, well-known elastic members such as a band shape, a net shape, and a film shape can be used without particular limitation in addition to an elongated elastic member (illustrated example) such as rubber thread. As the elastic members 15 to 19, synthetic rubber or natural rubber may be used.

  For bonding the outer sheet layer 12S and the inner sheet layer 12H in the exterior bodies 12F and 12B and fixing the elastic members 15 to 19 sandwiched therebetween, hot melt adhesives, heat seals and ultrasonic seals by various coating methods are used. It is possible to use at least one of fixing means such as material welding. Since the flexibility is lost when the entire exterior bodies 12F and 12B are firmly fixed, it is preferable that portions other than the bonded portions of the elastic members 15 to 19 are not bonded or are bonded weakly. In the illustrated embodiment, a hot melt adhesive is applied only to the outer peripheral surfaces of the elongated elastic members 15 to 19 by a coating means such as a comb gun or a sure wrap nozzle, and is sandwiched between the sheet layers 12S and 12H. A structure for fixing the elongated elastic members 15 to 19 to both the sheet layers 12S and 12H and fixing between the sheet layers 12S and 12H only with the hot melt adhesive applied to the outer peripheral surfaces of the members 15 to 19 It has become. The elastic members 15 to 19 can be fixed to the outer sheet layer 12S and the inner sheet layer 12H only at both ends in the expansion / contraction direction in the expansion / contraction region.

The elastic members 15 to 19 in the illustrated form will be described in more detail. Between the outer sheet layer 12S and the inner sheet layer 12H in the waist part W of the exterior bodies 12F and 12B, a plurality of elastic members 15 to 19 are continuously provided in the width direction WD. The waist elastic members 17 are attached at intervals in the front-rear direction. Moreover, about the 1 or several arrange | positioned by the area | region adjacent to the waist lower part U among the waist part elastic members 17, you may overlap with the interior body 200 or the width direction center which overlaps with the interior body 200 You may provide each in the width direction both sides except a part. The waist elastic member 17 has a thickness of 155 to 1880 dtex, especially about 470 to 1240 dtex (in the case of synthetic rubber. In the case of natural rubber, the cross-sectional area is 0.05 to 1.5 mm ² , particularly 0.1 to 1. the rubber thread 0mm approximately ²⁾ is preferably provided about 3 to 22 present at intervals of 4 to 12 mm, which by extension ratio in the width direction WD of the waist portion W is 150% to 400%, especially at about 220 to 320 percent Preferably there is. Further, the waist portion W does not need to use the same thickness waist portion elastic member 17 in all of the front-rear direction LD or have the same elongation rate. The thickness and elongation rate may be different.

  Further, a plurality of waist lower portion elastic members 15 and 19 made of an elongated elastic member are spaced in the front-rear direction between the outer sheet layer 12S and the inner sheet layer 12H in the waist lower portion U of the exterior bodies 12F and 12B. Attached.

The waist lower elastic members 15 and 19 have a thickness of 155 to 1880 dtex, especially about 470 to 1240 dtex (in the case of synthetic rubber. In the case of natural rubber, the cross-sectional area is 0.05 to 1.5 mm ² , particularly 0.1 to the rubber thread of 1.0mm about ^2), 1 to 15 mm, particularly preferably to dispose 5-30 present at intervals of 3 to 8 mm, this elongation in the width direction WD of the waist lower portion U by the 200 to 350% In particular, it is preferably about 240 to 300%.

  Further, a cover elastic member 16 made of an elongated elastic member is attached between the outer sheet layer 12S and the inner sheet layer 12H in the buttock cover portion C of the rear exterior body 12B.

The cover elastic member 16 has a thickness of 155 to 1880 dtex, particularly about 470 to 1240 dtex (in the case of synthetic rubber. In the case of natural rubber, the cross-sectional area is 0.05 to 1.5 mm ² , particularly 0.1 to 1.0 mm. ^It is preferable to provide one or a plurality of thread rubbers at intervals in the front-rear direction, and the expansion ratio of the buttock cover portion C in the width direction WD is 150 to 300%, particularly 180 to 260%. Is preferred.

  When the cover elastic member 16 is provided, the front-rear direction of the side edge Cs of the buttock cover portion C between the cover elastic member 16 positioned closest to the leg opening LO and the edge Ce of the heel cover portion C on the leg opening side When the distance is 0.9 to 1.1 times the width direction dimension W3 from the side edge of the rear exterior body 12B to the side edge of the side seal part 12A in the width direction center side, the side edge of the buttock cover part C It is preferable because the corner of Cs on the leg opening LO side is hardly noticeable. In particular, in this case, it is preferable to provide one cover part elastic member 16 or two cover parts with an interval of 5 mm or less in the front-rear direction LD. Further, the distance in the front-rear direction from the cover elastic member 16 located on the most waist side to the waist lower elastic member 15 adjacent to the waist side is 15 mm or more, and all the elastic members in the rear exterior body 12B When it is widest in the interval, the portion on the waist side with respect to the cover portion elastic member 16 in the rear exterior body 12B appears to expand more than the portion on the leg opening side with respect to the cover portion elastic member 16, The protrusion of the corner on the leg opening LO side of the side edge Cs of the buttock cover portion C is less noticeable, which is preferable.

  Here, when the cover part elastic member 16 is disposed only on the leg opening LO side in the buttock cover part C, the buttock cover part C contracts together with the cover part elastic member 16 as shown in FIG. At this time, since the leg opening LO side of the buttock cover portion C is pulled toward the center side in the width direction WD, even if the edge Ce on the leg opening LO side of the buttock cover portion C is linear along the width direction WD, the buttock cover portion C The edge Ce on the leg opening LO side is inclined obliquely downward toward the center side in the width direction WD, and the fitting property to the ridge groove is improved. At this time, since the side edge Cs of the buttock cover part C is also inclined obliquely downward toward the center side in the width direction WD, the corner on the leg opening LO side of the side edge Cs of the buttock cover part C is not conspicuous and the appearance is deteriorated. There is nothing.

  On the other hand, when the cover elastic member 16 is disposed only on the waist side in the buttock cover portion C, when the buttock cover portion C contracts together with the cover elastic member 16 as shown in FIG. Since the waist side of the buttock cover portion C is drawn toward the center in the width direction, even if the edge Ce on the leg opening LO side of the buttock cover portion C is linear along the width direction WD, the side edge Cs of the buttock cover portion C Is bent sideways, and the edge Ce on the leg opening LO side of the buttock cover portion C is inclined obliquely downward toward the center in the width direction, thereby improving the fit to the ridge groove. At this time, the side edge Cs of the buttock cover portion C warps sideways, but the corner on the leg opening LO side of the side edge Cs of the buttock cover portion C does not protrude greatly to the side of the side seal portion 12A. The corner on the leg opening LO side of the side edge Cs of C is not conspicuous and the appearance does not deteriorate.

  Moreover, the front-rear direction dimension at the side edge Cs of the collar cover part C is 0.9 to 1 in the width direction dimension W3 from the side edge of the rear exterior body 12B to the side edge of the side seal part 12A in the width direction WD center side. When it is 1 time, it is not necessary to provide the cover part elastic member 16 of the buttock cover part C. In this case, the side edge Cs of the buttock cover portion C tends to warp sideward due to the effect that the waist lower portion is contracted by the waist lower portion elastic member 15, but the side edge Cs of the buttock cover portion C on the leg opening LO side. Since the corner hardly protrudes from the side edge of the diaper, the corner is not noticeable and the appearance is not deteriorated.

  In the case of providing a groin cover portion on the front exterior body 12F, a cover portion elastic member can be similarly provided.

  When the elastic members 15, 16, and 19 are provided in the front-rear direction range having the absorber 56 like the waist lower part U and the buttock cover part C in the illustrated form, the width direction of the absorber 56 is partly or entirely. In order to prevent the WD from shrinking, the intermediate in the width direction (preferably including the entire inner and outer joints 201 and 202) including a part or all of the portion overlapping the absorber 56 and the width direction WD is defined as the non-stretchable region A1. The both sides in the width direction are the stretchable regions A2. The waist portion W is preferably the stretchable region A2 over the entire width direction WD, but similarly to the waist lower portion U, a non-stretchable region A1 may be provided in the middle in the width direction.

  The stretchable region A2 and the non-stretchable region A1 supply the elastic members 15 to 17, 19 between the inner sheet layer 12H and the outer sheet layer 12S, and the elastic members 15, 16, 19 are stretched in the stretchable region A2. At least both ends in the expansion / contraction direction are fixed via a hot melt adhesive, and are not fixed in the region that becomes the non-stretchable region A1, but the elastic members 15, 16, and 19 are intermediate in the width direction in the region that becomes the non-stretchable region A1. The elastic members 15, 16 and 19 are cut by pressing and heating at one location, or the entire elastic members 15, 16, and 19 are cut finely by pressing and heating, and the stretchable area A2 remains stretchable while the stretchable area A1 is stretched. Can be built by killing sex. In the former case, as shown in FIG. 4, in the non-stretchable region A1, in the state where the remaining cutting portion continuous from the elastic members 15, 16, 19 of the stretchable region A2 is contracted to the natural length alone as the unnecessary elastic member 18, In the latter case, it remains between the outer sheet layer 12S and the inner sheet layer 12H. In the latter case, although not shown in the drawing, the remaining cutting portion continuous from the elastic members 15, 16, and 19 in the expansion / contraction region A2, and the elastic member 15 in both expansion / contraction regions A2 , 16 and 19 are left between the outer sheet layer 12S and the inner sheet layer 12H in a state in which the cut pieces of the elastic member that are not continuous with the unnecessary elastic member are contracted to the natural length alone.

(Display sheet)
As shown in FIGS. 2, 5, 7, and 8, a display sheet 25 having a display 27 such as a character is provided between at least one of the front exterior body 12 </ b> F and the rear exterior body 12 </ b> B and the interior body 200. It is preferable that the display on the display sheet 25 is seen through the exterior bodies 12F and 12B. When the display sheet 25 is interposed between the exterior bodies 12F and 12B and the interior body 200, the elastic members 15, 16, and 19 for forming the non-stretchable region A1 are cut during the manufacturing process. Since it can carry out in the state which does not leave, it is not necessary to leave the cutting trace in the display sheet 25, and it can prevent the appearance deterioration. Of course, the display sheet 25 can be interposed between the outer sheet layer 12S and the elastic elastic members 15, 16, and 19 or between the inner sheet layer 12H and the elastic elastic members 15, 16, and 19. The display sheet 25 can be omitted.

  As the material of the display sheet 25, a resin film is used because it is suitable for high-definition printing. When using a highly opaque resin film, it is necessary to provide a printing portion on the outer surface of the display sheet 25. For example, when using a highly transparent resin film, a printing portion is provided on the inner surface of the display sheet 25. You can also.

  The display 27 added to the display sheet 25 is not particularly limited, and functions such as patterns for decoration (including pictures and one-point characters), usage methods, usage assistance, size, etc., manufacturers, product names, and features A display such as a mark display such as an automatic function can be added by printing or the like.

  At least one of the inner surface and the outer surface of the display sheet 25 is bonded to the opposing surface via a hot melt adhesive 25H.

  The dimensions of the display sheet 25 may be determined as appropriate. However, in a normal case, the display sheet 25 is preferably provided within the range in the width direction overlapping the interior body 200 so as to be equal to or smaller than the width of the interior body 200. Is preferably 50 to 100% of the width of the interior body 200 because it is easy to stick to the interior body 200 side during production. The width 25x of the display sheet 25 is preferably wider than the width 13x of the cover nonwoven fabric 13 described later.

  The display sheet 25 may be disposed in a region overlapping with the interior body 200 like the display sheet 25 disposed in the rear body B shown in the drawing, but at least one of the display sheets 25 is a liquid-impermeable resin film. In the waist extension portion 12E that extends from the region overlapping the interior body 200 to the waist opening WO side from the region overlapping the interior body 200, like the display sheet 25 disposed in the illustrated front body F. The urine and soft stool leaking from the waist side end of the interior body 200 to the waist side with the display sheet 25, the urine and soft stool in the waist extension portion 12E of the front exterior body 12F Exudation can be prevented. Unlike the illustrated embodiment, the display sheet 25 disposed on the back body B together with or instead of the display body 25 on the front body F may be extended from the region overlapping the interior body 200 into the waist extension portion 12E. it can. As the liquid-impermeable resin film, the same material as that of the liquid-impermeable sheet 11 can be selected. Like the liquid-impermeable sheet 11, it is preferable to use a plastic film having moisture permeability.

  When the display sheet 25 is extended into the waist extension part 12E, at least the middle in the width direction of the display sheet 25 is located at a position 5 mm or more away from the edge on the waist side of the interior body 200 toward the waist opening WO in the waist extension part 12E. More preferably, an elastic member for contracting the width direction range corresponding to the portion is provided. In the illustrated form, the waist elastic member 1717 corresponds to the elastic member of this arrangement. The region where the exterior bodies 12F and 12B overlap with the interior body 200 has high rigidity and is difficult to bend, whereas the waist extension portion 12E has low rigidity and is easy to bend. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 17, the display sheet 25 contracts in the width direction toward the waist side, and the portion between the elastic member and the interior body 200 in the waist extension portion 12 </ b> E is bent toward the skin side at the boundary with the interior body 200. A portion having the display sheet 25 of the waist extension portion 12E rises to the skin side, and a barrier wall for urine and loose stool is formed. Accordingly, it is possible to improve the urine and soft stool bleed-out preventing properties at the waist extending portions 12E of the exterior bodies 12F and 12B. In this case, if the waist extension portion 12E is composed of only the nonwoven fabric forming the outer sheet layer 12S and the inner sheet layer 12H, the rigidity difference between the region where the exterior bodies 12F and 12B overlap the interior body 200 and the waist extension portion 12E. Is preferable because it increases. Further, the larger the number of overlapping sheets on the waist side edge portion of the interior body 200, the larger the difference in rigidity described above, and it is preferable that there is a difference of three or more sheets. In particular, it is preferable that the liquid-impermeable sheet 11 made of at least a plastic film and the wrapping sheet 58 made of crepe paper are present at the waist side edge of the interior body 200 because the rigidity thereof is increased. It is also preferable that the bulky intermediate sheet 40 extends to the waist side edge of the interior body 200. It is also preferable that this region and the non-stretchable region A1 coincide with each other so that the region where the exterior bodies 12F and 12B overlap the interior body 200 is not bent.

  The length 25y in the front-rear direction of the portion of the display sheet 25 located in the waist extension portion 12E is not particularly limited, but is usually preferably 5 mm or more. Further, when the display sheet 25 extends to at least the elastic member located closest to the interior body 200 (in the illustrated embodiment, the waist part elastic member 17 located closest to the crotch side), the waist of the exterior bodies 12F and 12B. It is particularly preferable for improving the urine and soft stool bleed-out preventing properties in the extended portion 12E.

(Cover non-woven fabric)
In the exterior two-divided type pants-type disposable diaper, since the interior body 200 is exposed between the front exterior body 12F and the rear exterior body 12B, the liquid-impermeable sheet 11 is not exposed on the back surface of the interior body 200. The cover nonwoven fabric 13 covering the back surface of the interior body 200 is provided between the front exterior body 12F and the interior body 200 and between the rear exterior body 12B and the interior body 200.

  The cover nonwoven fabric 13 may be a non-porous nonwoven fabric having no holes penetrating the front and back, but in this embodiment, the cover nonwoven fabric 13 is a perforated nonwoven fabric provided with a large number of holes 14 penetrating the front and back surfaces, It extends in the front-rear direction LD so as to have a portion located between the display sheet 25 and the liquid-impermeable sheet 11. As described above, when the cover nonwoven fabric 13 extends between the display sheet 25 and the liquid impermeable sheet 11, the perforated 14 nonwoven fabric extends from the outside of the disposable diaper to between the display sheet 25 and the liquid impermeable sheet 11. Since ventilation is possible through the inside, it is possible to prevent a decrease in air permeability when a resin film is used as the material of the display sheet 25.

  Although not shown, at least a perforated nonwoven fabric for improving air permeability extending from the crotch side edge of the exterior body 12F, 12B overlapping the display sheet 25 to the waist opening side between the display sheet 25 and the liquid-impermeable sheet 11 May be provided separately from the cover nonwoven fabric 13. Moreover, when it has the display sheet 25 in both front and back, only the cover nonwoven fabric 13 extends between the display sheet 25 and the liquid-impermeable sheet 11 only in one of the front exterior body 12F and the rear exterior body 12B. But you can.

The fiber type of the perforated nonwoven fabric and the processing method of fiber bonding (entanglement) are not particularly limited, and the same material as the material of the exterior sheets 12F and 12B can be selected as appropriate, but an air-through nonwoven fabric is used. Desirably, the basis weight is preferably 20 to 40 g / m ² and the thickness is preferably 0.3 to 1.0 mm.

  The front-rear direction range of the cover nonwoven fabric 13 is not particularly limited, and may extend in the front-rear direction LD over the entire interior body 200 from the front end to the rear end, as shown in FIGS. As shown in FIG. 8, it extends in the front-rear direction LD from the front-rear direction intermediate position of the region where the front exterior body 12F and the interior body 200 overlap to the front-rear direction intermediate position of the region where the rear exterior body 12B and the interior body 200 overlap. You may do it. The length 25w in the front-rear direction of the overlapping portion of the display sheet 25 and the cover nonwoven fabric 13 is preferably 25 to 100% of the length 25y in the front-rear direction of the display sheet 25. In the case of the form shown in FIG. 8, the longitudinal length 13y of the overlapping portion of the cover nonwoven fabric 13 and the front exterior body 12F and the longitudinal length 13y of the overlapping portion of the cover nonwoven fabric 13 and the rear exterior body 12B are as follows. Although it can determine suitably, it can be about 20-40 mm in the usual case.

  The range in the width direction of the cover nonwoven fabric 13 is a range in which the exposed back surface portion of the liquid-impermeable sheet 11 can be hidden. For this reason, in the illustrated form, since the liquid-impermeable sheet 11 is exposed between the base ends of the left and right side gathers 60, the back side of the base end part of at least one side gather 60 to the other side gather 60. A cover nonwoven fabric 13 is provided so as to cover the range in the width direction up to the back side of the base end of the cover. Thereby, the liquid-impermeable sheet 11 can be concealed by the cover nonwoven fabric 13 and the gathered nonwoven fabric 62 of the side gather 60, and the holes 14 at both ends in the width direction WD of the cover nonwoven fabric 13 are gathered nonwoven fabric when viewed from the outer surface. At 62, it will not be hidden. Further, the side edge of the cover nonwoven fabric 13 is the narrowest portion of the absorbent body 56 (the full width when the constricted portion 56N is not provided. The narrowest portion of the constricted portion 56N when the constricted portion 56N is provided). If the cover nonwoven fabric 13 is located on the same side as the side edge or on the center side in the width direction, only the portion where the entire cover nonwoven fabric 13 overlaps with the absorbent body 56, that is, the portion that is highly rigid and does not easily wrinkle or break. Therefore, both sides of the cover nonwoven fabric 13 are less likely to shrink in the front-rear direction LD, so that wrinkles are not formed on both sides of the cover nonwoven fabric 13 and the holes 14 are not crushed. Further, the cover nonwoven fabric 13 may be configured such that both ends of the cover nonwoven fabric 13 in the width direction do not cover the back side of the base end portion of the side gather 60 but the gather nonwoven fabric 62 covers the back sides of both ends of the cover nonwoven fabric 13 in the width direction. 13 and the gathered nonwoven fabric 62 can conceal the liquid-impermeable sheet 11. In this case, since both sides of the cover nonwoven fabric 13 are covered with the gathered nonwoven fabric 62, there is an advantage that both sides of the cover nonwoven fabric 13 are hardly peeled off from the liquid-impermeable sheet 11.

  The cover nonwoven fabric 13 may have a region without the holes 14 in a part of the front-rear direction LD, but it is desirable that the cover nonwoven fabric 13 is provided over the entire front-rear direction in consideration of the effect of improving air permeability. On the other hand, in the form which has the area | region which does not have the hole 14 in the both ends of the width direction WD of the cover nonwoven fabric 13, when the hole 14 is opened by methods other than punching with a cutter, as described later, the peripheral portion 14e of the hole 14 When the fiber is retracted outward or in the vertical direction, the peripheral portion 14e of the hole 14 warps and the thickness of the perforated region becomes thicker than the non-porous region. This part is in a loosely wound state, and wrinkles and folds may be formed in the non-porous regions on both sides. Therefore, it is desirable that the hole 14 is formed over the entire width direction WD as illustrated. In addition, by forming holes in the cover nonwoven fabric 13 in the manufacturing process of the diaper, it is possible to use materials without holes, and it is possible to arbitrarily control the hole forming site. As a result, the entire manufacturing becomes large, and the cost and the burden of maintenance become large, and there is a problem that it is difficult to adjust the hole shape and the softness in the high-speed line. Therefore, it is preferable to manufacture using a material in which holes are formed throughout the front-rear direction and the width direction.

  The planar shape (opening shape) of each hole 14 can be determined as appropriate, and has a long hole shape as shown in FIGS. 17 (a) and 17 (b), as shown in FIGS. 17 (c) and 17 (e). It can be an arbitrary shape such as a perfect circle, an ellipse as shown in FIG. 17D, a polygon such as a triangle, a rectangle or a rhombus, a star or a cloud. Although the size of each hole 14 is not particularly limited, the maximum dimension 14L in the front-rear direction LD is preferably 0.4 to 1.8 mm, particularly preferably 0.8 to 1.3 mm, and the maximum dimension 14W in the width direction WD is The thickness is preferably 0.3 to 1.5 mm, particularly preferably 0.5 to 1.0 mm. When the shape of the hole 14 is a long shape in one direction such as a long hole shape, an ellipse shape, a rectangle shape, a rhombus shape, etc., the maximum dimension in the longitudinal direction is 2.5 times or less than the maximum dimension in the direction orthogonal thereto. It is preferable. Moreover, when the shape of the hole 14 is long in one direction, the longitudinal direction of the hole 14 is preferably the front-rear direction LD, but may be the width direction WD or an oblique direction.

The area and area ratio of each hole 14 may be determined as appropriate, but the area is preferably about 0.2 to ^2.5 mm ² (particularly 0.5 to 1.5 mm ² ). It is preferably about 0 to 15.0% (particularly 5.0 to 10.0%).

  Although the plane arrangement of the holes 14 can be determined as appropriate, a plane arrangement that is regularly repeated is preferable, and an orthorhombic lattice shape as shown in FIG. 17A or a hexagonal lattice shape as shown in FIG. (These are also referred to as a staggered pattern), a square grid pattern as shown in FIG. 17 (c), a rectangular grid pattern as shown in FIG. 17 (d), and a parallel grid as shown in FIG. Thus, a configuration in which two groups are arranged so that a large number of parallel diagonal rows intersect each other) (including those inclined at an angle of less than 90 degrees with respect to the front-rear direction LD) In addition to what is regularly repeated, the group of holes 14 (group unit arrangement may be regular or irregular, and may be a pattern, a character, or the like) may be regularly repeated.

  The front-rear direction interval 14y and the width-direction interval 14x of the holes 14 can be determined as appropriate. However, in consideration of air permeability, each of the intervals is preferably 0.5 to 8 mm, particularly 1 to 5 mm. When the width direction interval 14x is averaged, it is preferably within a range of 1 to 5 mm. In particular, as shown in FIG. 17 (d), the holes 14 are elongated in the front-rear direction LD, and the holes 14 are arranged in the front-rear direction with a front-rear distance 14y smaller than the front-rear dimension 14L. Is repeated at a predetermined interval in the width direction WD, and the interval 14x in the width direction is wider than the dimension 14L in the front-rear direction of the hole 14 (and more preferably three times or more the dimension 14W in the width direction of the hole 14). It is preferable because the air permeability is remarkably improved, the softness and bulkiness are not impaired, and the tensile strength of the sheet in the front-rear direction which is important at the time of production is not reduced.

  As shown in FIG. 14, the cross-sectional shape of the hole 14 is such that the thickness of the nonwoven fabric decreases as it approaches the edge of the hole 14 from the periphery of the hole 14, and the edge of the hole 14 is positioned in the middle of the thickness direction of the nonwoven fabric. As shown in FIG. 15, the peripheral portion 14e of the hole 14 is warped to the front side as shown in FIG. 15, and the peripheral portion 14e of the hole 14 is bent as shown in FIG. The third embodiment is a high third mode in which the peripheral portion 14e has a facing portion having the highest warping height 14i and a facing portion facing in a direction orthogonal to the surrounding portion 14b and having the lowest warping height 14j. Any of these may be used. From the viewpoint of air permeability, the second and third forms in which the portion having the hole 14 is thicker than the surroundings are desirable. In particular, the third form is caused by the difference between the warped heights 14i and 14j of the peripheral part 14e of the hole 14. The formed gap is preferable because it contributes to improvement in air permeability. In the second and third embodiments, the warping heights 14g, 14h, 14i (apparent height in a state where no pressure is measured using an optical microscope) is about 0.2 to 1.2 mm. In the third embodiment, the highest curvature height 14i is preferably about 1.1 to 1.4 times the lowest curvature height 14j.

  Even if the hole 14 is a punched hole 14 whose edge is formed by a cut end of the fiber, the edge of the hole 14 has almost no cut end of the fiber, and a pin is inserted between the fibers and pushed wide. The formed non-punched holes 14 (the fiber density in the peripheral portion is high) may be used. The former is suitable for the first embodiment, and the latter is suitable for the second and third embodiments. For example, when the hole 14 having a shape long in one direction is formed by inserting a pin, the fibers in the peripheral portion 14e of the hole 14 are retracted outward or in the vertical direction, and the peripheral portion 14e of the hole 14 is warped, and the longitudinal direction of the hole 14 The warping height i of the facing portion is higher than the warping height j of the facing portion in the direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction. In the second and third embodiments, the edge of the portion where the peripheral portion 14e of the hole 14 is warped to the surface may have a fiber density lower than that of the peripheral portion, but it is the same or higher. It is preferable. Moreover, although it is desirable that the fibers in the peripheral portion 14e of the hole 14 are fused, the fibers may not be fused.

  The inner surface and the outer surface of the cover nonwoven fabric 13 are bonded to the opposing surfaces via a hot melt adhesive. The fixing region of the cover nonwoven fabric 13 may be the whole of the cover nonwoven fabric 13 in the front-rear direction and the entire width direction, or may be partially unfixed. For example, when the width direction both ends of the cover nonwoven fabric 13 are not fixed, even if the side portion of the absorbent body 56 is somewhat contracted due to the influence of the side gathers 60, the cover nonwoven fabric 13 is less susceptible to the influence. The advantage is that it is difficult to form. In this case, the widths of the non-fixed portions at both ends in the width direction of the cover nonwoven fabric 13 may be determined as appropriate, but may be 3 to 10 mm, preferably 5 to 8 mm, for example.

  In the case of the cover nonwoven fabric 13 having the holes 14, as shown in FIG. 18, one preferable adhesive structure is from a peripheral edge portion 14i of a region overlapping the hole 14 in at least one of the inner and outer adhesive regions of the cover nonwoven fabric 13. There is no hot-melt adhesive 13H on the center side, and the hot-melt adhesive 13H is present in a continuous surface except for the peripheral edge portion 14i in the region overlapping the hole 14. Since there is no hot melt adhesive 13H on the center side of the peripheral edge portion 14i in the region overlapping with the hole 14, the air permeability is excellent. Further, only the surface opposite to the surface that touches the skin, the portion having such an adhesive structure is less likely to become sticky to the hot melt adhesive 13H, and the peripheral portion 14e of the hole 14 is securely fixed to the facing surface. Is done.

  As a typical adhesion state, as shown in FIGS. 18A and 18B, there is no hot melt adhesive 13H in the region overlapping the hole 14, and the hot melt adhesive 13H is continuous in the region other than the region overlapping the hole 14. As shown in FIGS. 18 (c) and 18 (d), the hot melt adhesive 13 </ b> H protrudes from the peripheral edge portion 14 i of the region overlapping the hole 14, but the peripheral edge of the region overlapping the hole 14. The hot melt adhesive 13H does not exist in the center side from the part 14i, and the hot melt adhesive 13H exists in a continuous surface shape except for the peripheral part 14i in the region overlapping the hole 14. The former state is a particularly desirable state, but the peripheral edge portion 14i of the region overlapping with the hole 14 is a portion close to the peripheral portion 14e of the hole 14, and the cover nonwoven fabric 13 has a certain thickness. Even if the hot melt adhesive 13H protrudes from this portion, only the surface opposite to the surface that touches the skin adheres to the surface of the cover nonwoven fabric 13 that is opposite to the adhesive surface by hand. There is almost no direct contact with the agent 13H. The protruding width of the hot melt adhesive 13H at the peripheral edge portion 14i in the region overlapping with the hole 14 is preferably not more than half the thickness of the cover nonwoven fabric 13 and not more than about 0.5 mm. Further, it is desirable that the hot melt adhesive 13H does not exist in a portion of 80% or more of the area of the region overlapping with the hole 14.

  The cross-sectional shape of the hole 14 in the cover nonwoven fabric 13 is not limited. However, if the peripheral portion 14e of the hole 14 is a warped portion that is warped toward the liquid-impermeable sheet 11 as described above, the liquid-impervious portion. The hole diameter viewed from the liquid-impermeable sheet 11 side is smaller than the hole diameter viewed from the surface on the side opposite to the conductive sheet 11 side. Therefore, in the portion where only the surface opposite to the surface touching the skin is bonded, it becomes difficult to touch the hot melt adhesive 13H when the surface opposite to the bonding surface is touched by hand. Further, since the warped portion supports the cover nonwoven fabric 13 with respect to the facing surface like a support column, the warped portion becomes bulky and excellent in air permeability as compared with a non-porous nonwoven fabric having the same basis weight. Further, in the region other than the peripheral portion 14e of the hole 14, the adhesion between the cover nonwoven fabric 13 and the liquid-impermeable sheet 11 tends to float (in FIG. 18, the hot melt adhesive 13H seems to fill the space between the sheets without any gaps). Although the actual coating amount is small and a gap is easily formed), the peripheral portion 14e of the hole 14 is securely bonded, and incomplete bonding is performed in other regions (substantially small bonding area is small). This makes it possible to obtain excellent softness and softness.

  Such an adhesive structure can be produced by applying a hot melt adhesive to the adhesive surface of the perforated nonwoven fabric in the form of a continuous surface without using air, and adhering to the opposing surface. In this method, when the hot melt adhesive is applied to the adhesive surface in the porous nonwoven fabric in a continuous surface shape without using air, the surface tension of the hot melt adhesive is applied before bonding to the opposing surface. This is based on a novel finding that a mouth (hole) is opened at the center of the portion of the hot melt adhesive that overlaps the hole of the perforated nonwoven fabric, and the opening extends to the periphery of the hole of the perforated nonwoven fabric. That is, when such an adhesion method is employed, as indicated by an arrow in FIG. 19, the hot melt adhesive 13H is applied to the perforated nonwoven fabric in a continuous surface and before being bonded to the target member, Due to the surface tension of the adhesive 13H, a mouth (hole) h is opened at the center of the portion of the hot melt adhesive 13H that overlaps the hole 14 of the porous nonwoven fabric, and the opening h expands to the peripheral portion 14e of the hole 14 of the porous nonwoven fabric. To do. Therefore, after bonding the perforated nonwoven fabric to the target member, as shown in the example shown in FIG. 18, there is no hot melt adhesive 13H in most of the holes 14, and the hot melt adhesive 13H from the holes 14 by air is removed. Since there is no omission or exudation, it becomes difficult to feel sticky when touching the surface opposite to the adhesive surface with a hand.

  As the hot melt applicator 170 for applying the hot melt adhesive in a continuous surface shape without using air, the coating head (die) was brought into contact with the adhesive surface of the perforated nonwoven fabric and provided at the tip of the coating head. The coating head (die) is lifted from the adhesive surface of the slot coat or perforated nonwoven fabric that is applied by extruding the hot melt adhesive from the slit along the CD direction (direction perpendicular to the MD direction (flow direction of the production line)) In this state, the hot melt adhesive is extruded through a slit along the CD direction provided at the tip of the coating head, and the hot melt adhesive is stretched according to the difference from the transfer speed of the perforated nonwoven fabric to be applied in an ultrathin film form. The non-contact type slot coat to be attached can be preferably used.

The bonding conditions can be determined as appropriate. In order to quickly move the hot melt adhesive 13H overlapping the hole 14 to the peripheral part 14e of the hole 14 and firmly bond the peripheral part 14e of the hole 14, the following conditions are satisfied. It is desirable to satisfy at least one of the following.
Hot melt adhesive melt viscosity (temperature 140 ° C.): 3,000 to 2,600 mPa · s
Melt viscosity of hot melt adhesive (temperature 160 ° C.): 1,150 to 1,550 mPa · s
Temperature at the time of application of the hot melt adhesive to the porous nonwoven fabric: 110 to 150 ° C
Application amount of hot melt adhesive to porous nonwoven fabric: 1.0 to 8.0 g / m ²
Open time after application of hot melt adhesive: 0.1 to 1.0 seconds

  In the case of the cover nonwoven fabric 13 having the holes 14, as shown in FIG. 20, as shown in FIG. 20, the peripheral portion 14 e of the hole 14 in the cover nonwoven fabric 13 is a warped return portion, and at least of the warped portion. The front end portion is an adhesive portion attached to the opposite surface (in this case, the liquid-impermeable sheet 11) via the hot melt adhesive 13H, and the portions other than the adhesive portion are non-adhered. It is what. With such an adhesion structure, the adhesion area is reduced, so flexibility is not impaired, and the peripheral portion 14e of the hole 14 can be reliably fixed to the opposing surface. In particular, since the warped portion supports the cover nonwoven fabric 13 with respect to the opposing surface like a support, it is bulky and excellent in air permeability as compared with a non-porous nonwoven fabric having the same basis weight.

  As a typical adhesion state, as shown in FIGS. 20 (a) and 20 (b), only the tip of the warped portion is adhered to the opposing surface via the hot melt adhesive 13H, and FIG. 20 (c). As shown in (d), the entire warped part is bonded to the opposing surface via the hot melt adhesive 13H, and as shown in FIGS. 20 (e) and 20 (f), A state in which the entire outer side from the inner part of the tip part is bonded to the opposing surface via the hot melt adhesive 13H and the inner part of the tip part is not bonded can be exemplified. Although it is desirable that no adhesive is present on the inner peripheral surface of the hole 14 in the warped portion and the portion overlapping the hole 14 on the opposite surface, it may protrude slightly.

  The adhesion state of the warped part is not limited to the illustrated form as long as at least the tip part is attached to the opposing surface via the hot melt adhesive 13H, and at least a part of the hole 14 in the circumferential direction is bonded to any one of the above. Any state is acceptable. For example, as shown in FIGS. 15 and 16, when the warped portion is continuously cylindrical in the circumferential direction of the hole 14, the entire circumferential direction of the cylindrical tip portion is in the bonded state. However, some may be in another bonded state or non-bonded. Moreover, when the curvature part is formed only in a part of the circumferential direction of the hole 14, the front-end | tip part of the part should just be the said adhesion state. Furthermore, different adhesion states may be mixed in a large number of warped portions.

(Inner / outer joint)
The interior body 200 can be fixed to the exterior bodies 12F and 12B by a joining means by material welding such as heat sealing or ultrasonic sealing, or by a hot melt adhesive. In the illustrated form, the inner surface of the exterior body 12F, 12B is applied to the back surface of the interior body 200, that is, the back surface of the liquid-impermeable sheet 11 and the hot melt adhesive applied to the root portion 65 of the three-dimensional gather 60 in this case. Is fixed. Inner and outer joints 201 and 202 for fixing the inner body 200 and the outer bodies 12F and 12B can be provided in almost the entire overlapping region, for example, provided in a portion excluding both ends in the width direction of the inner body 200. You can also. In particular, when the inner and outer joint portions 201 and 202 are provided over a region overlapping with the cover nonwoven fabric 13 and a region on both sides in the width direction than this region, both sides of the cover nonwoven fabric 13 can be firmly fixed, and the cover nonwoven fabric Since both sides of 13 become difficult to peel from the interior body 200, it is preferable.

  As shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, the inner / outer joint portion 201 of the front exterior body 12F is provided so as to extend across both ends in the width direction on the waist side, and the width is stepped toward the crotch side edge of the front exterior body 12F. Alternatively, it is preferable that the non-joined portions 203 are formed at both ends in the width direction on the crotch side of the front exterior body 12F. Thereby, the edge of the crotch side of the front exterior body 12F is a straight line shape or a shape close thereto along the width direction, even if it is an exterior two-divided type that intersects the side edge of the interior body 200 at a right angle or an angle close thereto, The fit of the groin is improved during sitting and walking.

  The dimensions of the non-joined portion 203 may be determined as appropriate, but in the case of infant use, the dimension in the front-rear direction of the non-joined portion 203 is about 10 to 30 mm, and the width direction dimension of the non-joined portion 203 is about 10 to 25 mm. it can. Moreover, in the case of an adult use, the front-back direction dimension of the non-joining part 203 can be about 10-30 mm, and the width direction dimension of the non-joining part 203 can be about 10-25 mm. The front edge of the non-joined portion 203 (the portion located on the most front side in the case of a curve) is preferably located at a position overlapping the front half-falling portion 68F, and in particular, located at the rear portion of the front half-falling portion 68F. It is preferable.

  In particular, the elastic member in the stretchable region A2 in the lower waist portion of the front exterior body 12F extends into the non-joint portions 203 formed at both widthwise ends on the crotch side of the front exterior body 12F. When it is elastically expanded and contracted in the width direction, the fit of the groin becomes even more preferable. Further, when the bent form is employed as in the first-side side gather 60 described above and the front half-falling part 68F is provided, the fit of the inguinal part is further improved. Further, as described above, it is more preferable that the front half-falling portion 68F is the same as the crotch side edge of the front exterior body 12F or extends more in the front-rear direction center side. Further, when the absorber 56 has an hourglass shape, if the front half-falling portion 68F is positioned on the absorber without overlapping the constricted portion 56N, the base of the three-dimensional gather is stabilized, and the front half-falling portion is stabilized. The portion 68F is preferable because it easily stands up.

  On the other hand, it is preferable that the inner / outer joint portion 202 of the rear exterior body 12B is provided so as to extend across both ends in the width direction across the entire front-rear direction, because the interior body 200 is less likely to bite into the crack. In this case, when the bent form is adopted like the side gathers 60 of the first form described above and the rear half-falling part 68B is provided, the tip side part 60A of the three-dimensional gathers is reversed by the inclination toward the crack. This is preferable because it is difficult to collapse. Further, as described above, when the rear half-falling portion 68B is the same as the front edge of the rear exterior body 12B or extends more in the front-rear direction LD center side, the inner body 200 is prevented from biting into the crack. Is further improved, and when the collar cover portion C is provided, the collar cover portion C is less likely to be displaced, and the maintainability of the collar cover is improved. The length in the front-rear direction of the rear half-falling portion 68B is more preferably longer than the length in the front-rear direction of the rear-side fallen portion 67. Further, when the absorbent body 56 has an hourglass shape, the inner half body 200 bites into the crack particularly when the rear half-falling portion 68B is positioned on the absorbent body without overlapping the constricted portion 56N. Since it becomes difficult, it is preferable.

  When a bent form such as the side gather 60 of the first form is adopted, both the front half-falling portion 68F and the rear half-falling portion 68B are provided, and the rear half-falling with respect to the length of the front half-falling portion 68F is provided. When the length of the portion 68B is in the range of 0.9 to 1.5, the three-dimensional gather can stand up in a long range in the front-rear direction, and each of the tip side portion 60A and the base side portion 60B Since it does not become excessively free, the fit around the entire leg is good.

<Explanation of terms in the specification>
The following terms in the specification have the following meanings unless otherwise specified in the specification.

  The “front / rear (vertical) direction” means a direction connecting the ventral side (front side) and the back side (rear side), and the “width direction” means a direction (left / right direction) orthogonal to the front / rear direction.

  ・ "Front side" means the person near the wearer's skin when wearing a pants-type disposable diaper, and "Back" means the person far from the wearer's skin when wearing a pants-type disposable diaper .

  ・ "Surface" means the surface closer to the wearer's skin when wearing a pants-type disposable diaper, and "Back" refers to the skin of the wearer when wearing a pants-type disposable diaper. It means the far side.

・ "Area ratio" means the ratio of the target portion to the unit area, and is expressed as a percentage by dividing the total area of the target portion (for example, holes) in the target region (for example, cover nonwoven fabric) by the area of the target region. It is. In a form in which a large number of target portions are provided at intervals, it is desirable to set the target region to a size that includes 10 or more target portions and obtain the area ratio. For example, the area ratio of the pores can be measured by the following procedure using, for example, a trade name VHX-1000 of KEYENCE Corporation and measuring conditions 20 times.
(1) Set on a 20x lens and adjust the focus. The position of the nonwoven fabric is adjusted so that the holes are 4 × 6.
(2) Specify the brightness of the hole area and measure the area of the hole.
(3) Click the “Area measurement” color extraction in “Measurement / Comments”. Click on the hole.
(4) Click “Batch measurement”, check “Display measurement result window”, and save as CSV data.

  “Elongation rate” means a value when the natural length is 100%.

  -"Gel strength" is measured as follows. Artificial urine (urea: 2 wt%, sodium chloride: 0.8 wt%, calcium chloride dihydrate: 0.03 wt%, magnesium sulfate heptahydrate: 0.08 wt%, and ion-exchanged water: 97.09 wt% 1.0 g of a superabsorbent polymer is added to 49.0 g of the mixture) and stirred with a stirrer. The produced gel is left in a constant temperature and humidity chamber of 40 ° C. × 60% RH for 3 hours and then returned to room temperature, and the gel strength is measured with a card meter (Curdmeter-MAX ME-500, manufactured by I.techno Engineering).

  ・ "Weight" is measured as follows. After the sample or test piece has been pre-dried, it is left in a test room or apparatus in a standard state (test location is temperature 20 ± 5 ° C., relative humidity 65% or less) to obtain a constant weight. Pre-drying refers to making a sample or test piece constant in an environment where the relative humidity is 10 to 25% and the temperature does not exceed 50 ° C. In addition, it is not necessary to perform preliminary drying about the fiber whose official moisture content is 0.0%. A sample with a size of 200 mm × 250 mm (± 2 mm) is cut out from the test piece in a constant weight using a rice-basis plate (200 mm × 250 mm, ± 2 mm). Measure the weight of the sample, multiply it by 20, calculate the weight per square meter, and use it as the basis weight.

-"Thickness" is automatically measured using an automatic thickness measuring instrument (KES-G5 handy compression measurement program) under the conditions of load: 0.098 N / cm ² and pressure area: 2 cm ² .

  -The amount of water absorption is measured according to JIS K7223-1996 "Test method for water absorption of superabsorbent resin".

  ・ The water absorption rate is the “time to end point” when JIS K7224-1996 “Test method for water absorption rate of superabsorbent resin” is performed using 2 g of superabsorbent polymer and 50 g of physiological saline. .

  -"Developed state" means a state where the plate is flattened without contraction or slack.

  -Unless otherwise specified, the dimensions of each part mean dimensions in a deployed state, not a natural length state.

  ・ If there is no description about the environmental conditions in the test and measurement, the test and measurement shall be performed in a test room or equipment in the standard condition (test location is temperature 20 ± 5 ℃, relative humidity 65% or less). .

  The present invention can be used for a pants-type disposable diaper.
