Description

  The present invention relates to a stretchable structure of an absorbent article formed by fixing an elongated elastic stretchable member between stretched sheet materials in a stretched state, and in particular, a wrinkle extends straight, looks good, and has excellent breathability However, the present invention relates to a stretchable structure that is also excellent in a feeling of excitement (property of being compressed and restored flexibly in the thickness direction).

  For example, a pants-type disposable diaper includes an exterior body having a front body and a back body, and an interior body including an absorbent body fixed to the inner surface of the exterior body, and the front body and the back body of the exterior body are on both sides. Are joined together to form a waist opening and a pair of left and right leg openings.

  In the pants-type disposable diaper, in order to improve the fit to the body, elongated elastic elastic members such as rubber thread are fixed in a stretched state along the circumferential direction at various locations on the exterior body, Forming a stretchable structure, among them, a waist edge elastic elastic member along the width direction at the edge of the waist opening, and a waist lower part along the width direction at the crotch side than the waist edge elastic elastic member A thing provided with an elastic expansion-contraction member has a comparatively high fit with respect to a body, and is used widely.

  On the other hand, the tape-type disposable diaper is a crotch part, an abdominal part extending to the front side of the crotch part, a back side part extending to the rear side of the crotch part, and an absorber provided in a region including the crotch part And a fastening tape that protrudes from both sides of the back portion and a target tape that is located on the outer surface of the abdominal portion and to which the fastening tape is connected. It has a structure which is connected to the target tape by turning from both sides to the outer surface of the abdominal side. Such a tape-type disposable diaper is used not only for infants but also widely used for nursing care (adult use). In general, tape-type disposable diapers are inferior in fit in the waistline direction compared to pants-type disposable diapers, so in order to improve this, slender shapes such as rubber thread along the width direction on the back side and fastening tape These elastic elastic members are fixed in an extended state along the width direction to form an elastic structure in the trunk periphery direction.

  And as what improves these expansion-contraction structures, as shown in FIG. 11, two sheet | seat materials 12H and 12S are joined in many expansion | extension directions and the longitudinal direction orthogonal to this by joining many sheet | seat junction parts. A plurality of elongated elastic members that are extendable independently of both sheet materials 12H and 12S so as not to pass through the sheet joining portion 70 between the sheet materials 12H and 12S (so as to pass through the non-joined portions). An elastic structure (see Patent Documents 1 to 3 below, also referred to as a longitudinal intermittent joining form) in which the elastic member 19 is arranged has been proposed. According to this prior art, the portion where the sheet joining portions 70 are aligned in the vertical direction is a groove that is continuous in the vertical direction, and the portion between the grooves becomes a large ridge 80 that bulges on both sides of the front and back sides. In addition to improving the properties, the heel 80 is excellent in a feeling of warmth. Although the code | symbol 75 in FIG. 11 has shown the welding part of the sheet | seat materials 12H and 12S, even if it forms the sheet | seat junction part 70 using an adhesive agent, the shape of the collar 80 will become the same.

  However, this prior art has a problem in that the shape of the ridge is a cloud shape or a wave shape, which looks ugly and looks and is inferior in air permeability.

  On the other hand, it is also known that a large number of sheet joining portions are formed by bonding two sheet materials intermittently in the expansion / contraction direction and in a direction crossing the expansion / contraction direction (see, for example, Patent Document 4 below). It is also referred to as a longitudinal continuous joining form.)

  However, this prior art has a problem in that the wrinkle extends straight, looks good, and has excellent air permeability, but is inferior in a feeling of fluffiness (a property of being compressed and restored flexibly in the thickness direction).

JP 2008-295930 A JP 2009-297096 A JP 2009-148447 A JP 2010-22588 A

  Then, the main subject of this invention is providing the expansion-contraction structure which is excellent also in a feeling of hunwari, while a wrinkle extends straightly, looks good, and is excellent in air permeability.

  As a result of diligent research to solve the above problems, the following findings (knowledges regarding the principle and differences described here have not been explored in any of Patent Documents 1 to 4; Although there is a description about the line spacing of the sheet joint, it is completely unclear what effect the change will have.)

  That is, in the longitudinal intermittent joining mode, as shown in FIG. 11, the elastic elastic member 19 is not fixed to the sheet at the expansion / contraction direction position corresponding to the sheet bonding part 70 but is fixed to the sheet at both ends (not shown). Therefore, even if the heel 80 is brought close by the contraction force of the elastic expansion / contraction member 19, the contraction of the elastic expansion / contraction member 19 directly acts on the sheet joining portion 70 adjacent in the expansion / contraction direction, and the ridge 80 is between them. Is not formed, but acts on the fixing portions at both ends of the elastic elastic member 19, and as a result that the entire sheet material between them is moved in the width direction, the portions other than the sheet joint portion 70 are indirectly free. Swell to form a ridge 80. As a result, even in a position corresponding to the sheet bonding portion 70 in the vertical direction, as shown in FIG. 11B, the interval in the expansion / contraction direction of the sheet bonding portion 70 is widened, and the shape of the flange 80 is rounded. It will be plump. Moreover, as shown in FIG.11 (c), the position where the elastic expansion-contraction member 19 passes is still more rounded, and the shape of the collar 80 becomes round and plump.

  However, in this longitudinal intermittent joining mode, the gap between the flanges 80 becomes small, and the effect of improving the air permeability becomes poor. Moreover, when the shrinkage force of the elastic elastic member 19 acts indirectly as described above to form the collar 80 and the sheet joint portion 70 is intermittently arranged in the vertical direction, As can be seen from the comparison between FIGS. 11B and 11C, the interval between the sheet joining portions 70 periodically changes in the vertical direction, and the bulge shape of the ridge 80 in the portion corresponding to the sheet joining portion 70 in the vertical direction In the longitudinal direction, a difference is made in the bulging shape of the ridge 80 in the portion located between the joint portions, and the shape of the ridge 80 becomes a cloud shape or a wave shape that is staggered, and it looks and is inferior in air permeability.

  On the other hand, in the longitudinal continuous joining form, the sheet joining portion is continuous in the longitudinal direction, and the elastic stretch member is fixed to the sheet at the stretch direction position corresponding to the sheet joining portion, and therefore corresponds to the sheet joining portion in the longitudinal direction. Even if it is a position where the elastic expansion / contraction member passes, the distance between the sheet joining portions in the expansion / contraction direction is uniform, and the wrinkles extend straight, look good, and have excellent air permeability.

  However, since the elastic elastic member is fixed to the sheet at the position in the expansion / contraction direction corresponding to the sheet bonding portion, the contraction of the elastic expansion / contraction member directly acts on the sheet bonding portions adjacent to each other in the expansion / contraction direction. As a result, the distance between the joint portions of the sheet becomes very narrow, the shape of the ridge is thin, and the tip is relatively sharp. Therefore, since the wrinkles are easy to fall and have a thin shape, the feeling of fun is scarce.

  That is, since the longitudinal continuous joining form is completely different from the intermittent joining form in terms of the shape of the ridges, the formation principle is completely different. Then, the present inventor has further studied based on these findings and made the present invention. That is, the present invention that has solved the above problems is as follows.

<Invention of Claim 1>
The first sheet material, the second sheet material facing one surface of the first sheet material, and the first sheet material and the second sheet material are provided along the expansion / contraction direction and spaced apart from each other. Provided with a plurality of elongated elastic stretch members,
The first sheet material and the second sheet material are intermittently arranged in the expansion / contraction direction, joined by welding process continuous in the direction intersecting with the expansion / contraction direction , except for the place where the elastic expansion / contraction member is arranged. A sheet joining portion that is continuous in a direction intersecting the expansion and contraction direction is formed,
The plurality of elongated elastic members formed by the welding process, which is a welding mark that is a melting mark of the first sheet material and the second sheet material, is at least one of the first sheet material and the second sheet material. It is continuous across the elastic member,
The elastic elastic member and the first sheet material and the second sheet material are not bonded at the position where the elastic elastic member and the welding mark intersect, but the interval between the sheet joints in the direction intersecting the elastic direction is smaller than the thickness at the natural length of the resilient and elastic members, said that the resilient and elastic members are sandwiched between the sheets joints are fixed to the front Symbol first sheet material and second sheet material,
The first sheet material and the second sheet material contract as the elastic elastic member contracts, so that the portions located between the sheet joint portions in the first sheet material and the second sheet material swell in opposite directions. Each has a cocoon,
The width of each sheet joint portion in the expansion / contraction direction is 1 to 4 mm, and the interval between adjacent sheet joint portions is 4 to 8 mm.
An elastic structure of an absorbent article characterized by the above.

(Function and effect)
The present invention is based on a longitudinal continuous joining form, combining the interval between adjacent sheet joining portions and the width in the expansion / contraction direction of each sheet joining portion within a specific range, and is sufficiently high in height and toppling while being a straight extension. It is characterized by a balance between strengths. In the present invention, the width in the expansion / contraction direction of each sheet joint portion affects the interval between adjacent ridges, and this width exceeds 4 mm when the crease formed is thin, as in the case of longitudinal continuous joining. In addition to the fact that the space between adjacent ridges becomes too wide, not only the individual ridges look independent, but also when the folds collapse or spread due to the compressive force in the thickness direction, the adjacent ridges support each other As a result of the weakening of the action, the resistance to deformation or the restoration after the change is also weakened, and as a result, the feeling of fun is insufficient.

  Moreover, when the width of the sheet joining portion in the expansion / contraction direction is simply set to 1 to 4 mm, and the interval between adjacent sheet joining portions is less than 4 mm or more than 8 mm, the following occurs. That is, the interval between adjacent sheet joints affects the height and width of the ridges, and if it is about 2 mm, the continuity in the vertical direction is poor as in the case of continuous fixing in the stretching direction ( At 3 mm, the ridges extend straight in the direction orthogonal to the expansion / contraction direction, but the effect of supporting adjacent ridges cannot be expected, and the feeling of discomfort is insufficient. Moreover, if the space | interval of a sheet | seat junction part exceeds 8 mm, a wrinkle will be crushed irregularly by compression at the time of packaging, and the appearance of a product will worsen. On the other hand, a sufficient soft feeling is obtained only when the width of the sheet joining portion in the expansion / contraction direction is 1 to 4 mm and the interval between the sheet joining portions is 4 to 8 mm. The cocoon will not be crushed irregularly.

  Further, if the sheet joint portion is formed by welding in the longitudinal continuous joining form, hardening of the welded portion is inevitable, but if the size of the sheet joint portion is within the above range, the influence of hardening becomes small. Further, as a secondary effect, the transparency of the welded portion is increased, and an appearance in which the glossy welded portion forms a stripe pattern is obtained.

Incidentally, the welding process for forming the sheet bonding portion in the present invention is continuous, meaning that soluble adhesion processing trace of the first sheet material and second sheet material is continuous, the first sheet material and second sheet In the part where the sheet joining portion and the elastic elastic member intersect each other, the material and the elastic elastic member are welded to each other and the first sheet material and the second sheet material are indirectly welded. Since the elastic elastic member is interposed, the welding between the first sheet material and the second sheet material is not continuous.

  Further, that the elastic elastic member is fixed to the sheet at a position where it intersects with the sheet joining portion means that the elastic elastic member and the sheet are bonded (including welding) at a position where the elastic elastic member and the sheet joining portion intersect. The elastic stretchable member and the sheet are not bonded to each other, but the interval between the sheet joining portions in the direction intersecting the stretchable direction is narrower than the natural length of the elastic stretchable member and elastic. As a result of the elastic member being fixed by being sandwiched between the sheet joint portions, the contraction force of the elastic elastic member is transmitted to the sheet at a position intersecting the sheet joint portion. The latter form is, for example, the form described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open Nos. 2008-154998 and 2009-106667, and the Patent Documents 1 to 3 are disclosed in that the design position of the side portion of the elastic member passes through the sheet joint portion. Different from those described.

<Invention of Claim 2>
The elastic structure of an absorbent article according to claim 1, wherein an interval between the adjacent elastic elastic members is 10 mm or less.

(Function and effect)
In the case of the present invention, when the interval between the elastic elastic members adjacent to each other (not the central interval) exceeds 10 mm, the thickness of the heel changes in a direction intersecting with the expansion / contraction direction, although it is not as long as the intermittent intermittent joining form. It becomes a cloud shape or waveform. Therefore, in this invention, it is preferable that the space | interval of adjacent elastic elastic members shall be mm or less.

<Invention of Claim 3>
Telescopic structure of the respective first sheet material and second sheet material, the thickness 0.1 to 1 mm, a nonwoven fabric having a basis weight of 10 to 20 g / m ^2, according to claim 1 or 2 absorbent article according.

(Function and effect)
The present invention is particularly suitable for such first sheet material and second sheet material.

(Function and effect)
By adopting such an elongation rate, the above-described effects of the present invention become more remarkable. The elongation rate means a value when the natural length is 100%.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
1 to 8 show an example 100 of a pants-type disposable diaper. The pants-type disposable diaper 100 includes an exterior body 12 that forms the outer surface (back surface) of the product, and an interior body 200 that is attached to the inner surface of the exterior body 12. Symbol Y indicates the total length of the diaper, and symbol X indicates the total width of the diaper.

  The interior body 200 is a part that absorbs and holds excrement such as urine, and the exterior body 12 is a part that is worn by the wearer. In addition, the dot pattern part in sectional drawing has shown the junction part which joins each structural member, and is formed by solid, beads, curtains, summits, spiral application, etc., such as a hot-melt-adhesive. The “front-rear direction” means the direction connecting the ventral side (front side) and the back side (rear side), “width direction” means the direction (left-right direction) orthogonal to the front-rear direction, and “up-down direction "In the state of wearing the diaper 100, that is, the direction perpendicular to the waistline direction when the diaper 100 is folded in two at the crotch part so that the both sides of the front body and the back body side of the diaper 100 overlap each other, in other words This means the direction connecting the waist opening WO side and the crotch part side.

(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 surface sheet 30 on the body side, a liquid-impermeable sheet 11, and an absorption 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. Shows a three-dimensional gather 60 that stands on the body side and is provided on both sides of the interior body 200 in order to prevent excrement from leaking to both sides of the interior body 200.

(Surface sheet)
The top sheet 30 has a property of transmitting liquid, 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. .

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

  When the three-dimensional gather 60 is provided, both sides of the top sheet 30 pass between the liquid-impermeable sheet 11 and the three-dimensional gather 60 to the back side of the absorbent element 50 to prevent the liquid from penetrating. It is preferable to adhere to the impermeable sheet 11 and the three-dimensional gather 60 with a hot melt adhesive or the like.

(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 to quickly transfer the liquid that has passed through the top sheet 30 to the absorber. This intermediate sheet 40 not only improves the absorption performance of the absorbent by quickly transferring the liquid to the absorbent body, but also prevents the “reversed” phenomenon of the absorbed liquid from the absorbent body, so that the top sheet 30 is always dried. It can be in a state of being. The intermediate sheet 40 can be omitted.

Examples of the intermediate sheet 40 include the same material 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 ^{20~80g / m 2, 25~60g / m} 2 is more preferable. The thickness of the raw fiber of the nonwoven fabric is preferably 2.2 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 of the intermediate sheet 40 in the longitudinal direction may be the same as the length of the absorbent body 56 or may be within a short length range centered on the region that receives the liquid.

(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. For the liquid-impermeable sheet 11, it is preferable to use a liquid-impervious and moisture-permeable material that has been preferred in recent years 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 micro-denier fibers, leakproof reinforcement by reducing the voids of the fibers by applying heat or pressure, and methods such as applying 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.

  The liquid-impermeable sheet 11 is preferably extended around both sides of the absorbent element 50 to both sides of the side surface 30 of the absorbent element 50 in order to improve leakage prevention. 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.

(Three-dimensional gather)
The three-dimensional gather 60 is a belt-like member that extends over the entire front-rear direction along both side portions of the interior body 200, blocks urine and soft stool that move in the lateral direction along the top sheet 30, and prevents side leakage. It is provided for this purpose. The three-dimensional gather 60 of the present embodiment is provided so as to stand up from the side portion of the interior body 200, the base side portion rises obliquely toward the center in the width direction, and the tip side portion from the intermediate portion has a width. It stands up diagonally outward in the direction.

  More specifically, the three-dimensional gather 60 folds the belt-shaped gather sheet 62 having a length equal to the length in the front-rear direction of the interior body 200 in the width direction and folds it into two. In addition, a plurality of elongated elastic elastic members 63 are fixed along the longitudinal direction at intervals in the width direction. An end portion of the three-dimensional gather 60 opposite to the folded portion in the width direction is an attachment portion 65 fixed to the back surface of the side edge portion of the interior body 200, and portions other than the attachment portion 65 protrude from the attachment portion 65. It is set as the protrusion part 66 (part by the side of a folding | turning part). Further, both end portions in the front-rear direction of the protruding portion 66 extend from the mounting portion 65 to the side surface of the topsheet 30 through the side portion of the interior body 200 and are hot-melted to the side surface of the topsheet 30. The base side portion is fixed to the front and rear fixing portion 67 by an adhesive or heat seal, and the tip side portion is folded back outward in the width direction from the tip of the base side portion and fixed to the base side portion. An intermediate part in the front-rear direction of the protruding part is an unfixed free part (inner free part), and an elongated elastic member 63 extending in the front-rear direction is fixed to the free part in an extended state.

The gather sheet 62 is made of a spunbond nonwoven fabric (SS, SSS, etc.), an SMS nonwoven fabric (SMS, SSMMS, etc.), a melt-blown nonwoven fabric with excellent uniformity and concealment, and water repellent with silicone if necessary. 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 elastic member 63, rubber thread 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%. Further, as shown in the drawing, a waterproof film 64 can be interposed between the gather sheets folded in two.

  2-6 are preferable and, as for the number of the elongate elastic expansion-contraction members 63 provided in the free part of the three-dimensional gather 60, 3-5 are more preferable. 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 expansion-contraction member 63, it will become easy to contact | abut with respect to skin. The elongated elastic elastic member 63 may be disposed not only at the distal end side but also at the base side.

  The fixing target of the attachment portion 65 of the three-dimensional gather 60 can be an appropriate member such as the top sheet 30, the liquid-impermeable sheet 11, and the absorbent element 50 in the interior body 200.

  In the three-dimensional gather 60 thus configured, the contraction force of the elongated elastic elastic member 63 acts so that both ends in the front-rear direction are brought close to each other, but the both ends in the front-rear direction of the protruding portion 66 are fixed so as not to stand up. On the other hand, since they are non-fixed free portions, only the free portions stand up against the body side as shown in FIG. In particular, when the attachment portion 65 is positioned on the back surface side of the interior body 200, the three-dimensional gather 60 stands up so as to open outward in the width direction at the crotch portion and in the vicinity thereof. It comes in contact, and the fit is improved.

  The dimensions of the three-dimensional gather 60 can be determined as appropriate. In the case of an infant paper diaper, for example, as shown in FIG. 7, the standing height of the three-dimensional gather 60 (the length in the width direction of the protruding portion 66 in the unfolded state) 66w is It is preferably 15 to 60 mm, particularly 20 to 40 mm. Further, the distance 60d between the folds located on the innermost side in a state where the three-dimensional gather 60 is folded flat so as to be parallel to the surface of the top sheet 30 is preferably 60 to 190 mm, particularly preferably 70 to 140 mm.

  Note that, unlike the illustrated embodiment, the three-dimensional gathers can be provided in double (two rows) on the left and right sides of the interior body 200.

(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.

  Although the absorbent body 56 may be rectangular, as shown in FIG. 6, as shown in FIG. 6, the hourglass has a front end portion, a rear end portion, and a narrow portion narrower than the front end portion and the rear end portion. The shape is preferable because the fit of the absorber 56 itself and the three-dimensional gather 60 around the legs is improved.

  Moreover, although the dimension of an absorber can be determined suitably, it is preferable to extend to the peripheral part of the interior body, or its vicinity in the front-back direction and the width direction. Reference numeral 56X indicates the 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 particle diameter of the superabsorbent polymer particles, those used in this type of absorbent article can be used as they are, and those having a particle size of 1000 μm or less, particularly 150 to 400 μm are desirable. The material of the superabsorbent polymer particles can be used without any particular limitation, but those having a water absorption of 40 g / g or more are suitable. High-absorbent polymer particles include starch-based, cellulose-based, and synthetic polymer-based starch-acrylic acid (salt) graft copolymers, saponified starch-acrylonitrile copolymers, and sodium carboxymethylcellulose crosslinks. Or an acrylic acid (salt) polymer can be used. As the shape of the superabsorbent polymer particles, a commonly used granular material is suitable, but other shapes can also be used.

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

  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 application amount of the liquid excretion site as compared to 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 absorbent body 56. It is preferable that the front and rear edges of the absorbent body 56 are protruded from the front and back of the absorbent body 56, and the protruding portions are crushed in the front and back directions and joined by a joining means such as a hot melt adhesive.

(Exterior body)
The exterior body 12 has a part constituting a front body F extending from the crotch part to the abdomen and a part constituting a rear body B extending from the crotch part to the back side, and both sides of the front body F As shown in FIG. 8, a waist opening WO for passing the wearer's torso and a pair of left and right leg openings LO for passing the legs are formed. It is what. Reference numeral 12A denotes a joining portion (hereinafter, this portion is also referred to as a side seal portion). The crotch portion means the center in the front-rear direction from the waist edge of the front body F to the waist edge of the back body B in the unfolded state, and the front side part and the back side part thereof are the front body F and the back body part. B means each.

  The exterior body 12 includes a waist portion T defined as a front-rear direction range extending from the waist opening WO to the upper end of the leg opening LO, and a front-rear direction range of a portion forming the leg opening LO (a side seal portion 12A of the front body F). And an intermediate portion L defined as a front / rear direction region having the side seal portion 12A of the back body B. The waistline T can be divided into a “waist edge” W that conceptually forms the edge of the waist opening, and a “waist lower part” U that is a lower part than this. These lengths in the vertical direction vary depending on the size of the product and can be determined as appropriate. For example, the waist edge 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 portion L are bundled along the circumference of the wearer's leg, and this is a portion into which the wearer's leg is put. As a result, the exterior body 12 has a substantially hourglass shape as a whole. The degree of tightness of the exterior body 12 can be determined as appropriate. In order to obtain a clean appearance as shown in FIGS. Although it is preferable, the narrowest part may be determined so as to be equal to or larger than the width of the interior body 200.

  As shown in FIGS. 3 to 6, the exterior body 12 is formed by joining two sheet materials 12 </ b> S and 12 </ b> H, and the second sheet material 12 </ b> H located on the inner side is formed of the waist opening WO. Although extending only to the edge, the first sheet material 12S located on the outer side wraps around the edge on the waist side of the second sheet material 12H and is folded back to the inner side. It extends so that it may cover even to the waist side edge part.

  The sheet materials 12S and 12H can be used without particular limitation as long as they are in sheet form, but are preferably non-woven fabrics. 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.

  And in the exterior body 12, in order to improve the fitting property with respect to the trunk periphery, elongated elastic elastic members 15 to 17 such as thread rubber are provided between the sheet materials 12S and 12H at a predetermined elongation rate. As the elongated elastic elastic members 15 to 17, synthetic rubber or natural rubber may be used.

More specifically, the entire width direction is continuous between the inner surface of the second sheet material 12H and the outer surface of the folded portion 12r of the first sheet material 12S at the waist edge W of the back body B and the front body F. As described above, the plurality of waist edge elastic elastic members 17 are fixed in a state of being spaced apart in the vertical direction and extended along the width direction at a predetermined extension rate. In addition, one or more of the waist edge elastic elastic members 17 disposed in a region adjacent to the waist lower portion U may overlap with the interior body 200 or may be overlapped with the interior body 200 in the width direction. You may each provide in the width direction both sides except a center part. The waist edge elastic elastic member 17 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 the rubber thread of 1.0mm about ^2), 3 to 22 present approximately at intervals of 4 to 12 mm, respectively elongation from 150% to 400%, preferably fixed in particular about 220-320%. Further, the waist edge elastic elastic members 17 need not all have the same thickness and elongation rate. For example, the elastic elastic members may have different thicknesses and elongation rates at the upper and lower portions of the waist edge W. .

  Further, between the outer side surface of the second sheet material 12H and the inner side surface of the first sheet material 12S in the lower waist portion U of the front body F and the back body B, except for the central portion in the width direction overlapping the interior body 200, A plurality of lower waist elastic elastic members 15 made of an elongated elastic elastic member are continuously provided over the entire width direction on each of the upper side and both sides in the width direction, with a predetermined elongation rate at intervals in the vertical direction. It is fixed in the state extended | stretched along the width direction.

The waist lower elastic elastic member 15 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. It is preferable to fix the thread rubber of about 0 mm ^{2 at} a spacing of 1 to 15 mm, particularly 3 to 8 mm, and an elongation rate of 200 to 350%, particularly about 240 to 300%.

  In addition, between the outer side surface of the second sheet material 12H and the inner side surface of the first sheet material 12S in the intermediate portion L of the front body F and the back body B, except for the center portion in the width direction overlapping the interior body 200, A plurality of intermediate elastic expansion / contraction members 16 made of an elongated elastic expansion / contraction member are provided in each part on both sides in the width direction so as to be continuous over the entire width direction. It is fixed in a stretched state along the direction.

The intermediate elastic 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. It is preferable to fix the thread rubber of about 0 mm ² ) at intervals of 5 to 40 mm, particularly 5 to 20 mm, and stretch ratios of 150 to 300%, particularly 180 to 260%, respectively.

  As shown in the figure, when the waist lower elastic elastic members and the intermediate elastic elastic members 15 and 16 are provided on both sides in the width direction except for the central portion in the width direction overlapping the inner body 200, the inner body 200 is provided. Will not shrink more than necessary in the width direction, and it will not look bad or absorb. In this form, in addition to the form in which the elastic stretchable member exists only on both sides in the width direction, the elastic stretchable member exists from one side of the width direction to the other side across the interior body 200, but overlaps the interior body 200. At the center in the width direction, the elastic expansion / contraction member is finely cut, and the contraction force does not act (substantially equivalent to not providing the elastic expansion / contraction member), and only the both sides in the width direction are configured as the contraction force acting portions. Are also included. Of course, the arrangement of the waist lower elastic members 15 and 16 is not limited to the above example, and the waist lower elastic members and the waist lower elastic members so that the elastic force acts over the entire width of the waist lower U. Part or all of the intermediate elastic elastic members 15 and 16 can be provided from one side in the width direction to the other side across the interior body 200.

(External body split structure)
In the above-described example, the front body F to the back body B are continuously covered by the integrated exterior body 12, but the abdominal part exterior body and the back part exterior body are continuously located on the crotch side. In this case, the outer surface of the interior body covers a portion exposed between the exterior body of the abdominal side portion and the exterior body of the back side portion. A crotch outer body can also be attached. As the crotch outer casing, the same materials as those used for the outer casing described above can be used.

(About stretchable structure)
In the present pants-type disposable diaper, the stretchable structure of the present invention is adopted in the region from the lower waist portion U to the middle portion L. That is, as shown in FIG. 6, the portion is predetermined in a direction intersecting with the expansion / contraction direction (orthogonal in the illustrated embodiment) in which the first sheet material 12 </ b> S and the second sheet material 12 </ b> H are intermittently arranged in the expansion / contraction direction. The sheet joining portion 70 is formed by joining with a continuous welding process with a width of 1 mm. The welded portion is indicated by reference numeral 75. The width 70w in the expansion / contraction direction of each sheet bonding portion 70 is 1 to 4 mm (preferably 1 to 2 mm), and the interval 70d between adjacent sheet bonding portions 70 is 4 to 8 mm (preferably 5 to 7 mm).

The materials of the first sheet material 12S and the second sheet material 12H are not particularly limited as long as they are joined by welding, but it is particularly desirable that the material is a nonwoven fabric having a thickness of 0.1 to 1 mm and a basis weight of 10 to 20 g / m ² . In addition, the 1st sheet material 12S and the 2nd sheet material 12H are each comprised from the nonwoven fabric of one sheet, and either or both may be a laminated body of the nonwoven fabric of several sheets.

As the welding process, a known processing method such as heat sealing or ultrasonic welding can be employed. Here, the welding process for forming the sheet bonding portion 70 is continuous means that the solvent adhesion processing trace of the first sheet member 12S and the second sheet material 12H are contiguous, the first sheet material 12S and the 2 sheet material 12H and elastic elastic members 15 and 16 are welded to each other, and the first sheet material 12S and the second sheet material 12H are indirectly welded. Since the elastic elastic members 15 and 16 are interposed at the portion 72 where the elastic elastic members 15 and 16 intersect, the welding between the first sheet material 12S and the second sheet material 12H is not continuous. For example, in a state where the elastic elastic members 15 and 16 are sandwiched between the first sheet material 12S and the second sheet material 12H, welding is performed in a continuous pattern across the elastic elastic members 15 and 16 by heat sealing or ultrasonic welding. When the first sheet material 12S and the second sheet material 12H are melted without melting the elastic elastic members 15 and 16, the first sheet material 12S and the second sheet material 12H and the elastic elastic members 15 and 16 are not welded. Therefore, it becomes the latter form.

  The elastic elastic members 15 and 16 are fixed to the first sheet material 12 </ b> S and the second sheet material 12 </ b> H at positions intersecting with the sheet joining portion 70. This fixing mode is such that the elastic elastic members 15 and 16 and the sheet are bonded to each other at a position where the elastic elastic members 15 and 16 and the sheet joint portion 70 intersect (only bonding with an adhesive 71 such as a hot-melt adhesive 71). The elastic stretchable members 15 and 16 and the sheet are not bonded to each other, but the distance between the sheet joint portions 70 in the direction intersecting with the stretchable direction is the elastic stretchable members 15 and 16. The elastic elastic members 15 and 16 are fixed by being sandwiched between the sheet bonding portions 70 as a result of being narrower than the natural length, and the contraction force of the elastic elastic members 15 and 16 intersects with the sheet bonding portion 70. The position is transmitted to the sheet at the position (see Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open Nos. 2008-154998 and 2009-106667). More specifically, in the latter form, as shown in FIG. 9 (a), the elastic sheet members 15 and 16 extended to a higher expansion rate than the fixed expansion rate are provided with the first sheet material 12S and the second sheet material. In a state of being sandwiched between 12H, the sheet joining portion 70 is welded in a continuous pattern across the elastic elastic members 15 and 16 by heat sealing or ultrasonic welding, and the first without stretching the elastic elastic members 15 and 16. Without melting the sheet material 12S and the second sheet material 12H and welding the first sheet material 12S and the second sheet material 12H and the elastic elastic members 15, 16, as shown in FIG. The elastic elastic members 15 and 16 can be manufactured by releasing the tension, contracting the elastic elastic members 15 and 16 to expand the diameter, and sandwiching the elastic elastic members 15 and 16 between the sheet joining portions 70. Thereby, in the stretchable structure to be manufactured, at least one of the first sheet material 12 </ b> S and the second sheet material 12 </ b> H is continuously welded, but at the portion where the sheet joining portion 70 and the elastic stretchable members 15, 16 intersect. Since the elastic elastic members 15 and 16 are interposed, the welding between the first sheet material 12S and the second sheet material 12H is not continuous, and the elastic elastic members 15 and 16 are fixed by being sandwiched between the sheet joint portions 70. It will be in the form.

  The distances 15d and 16d between the adjacent elastic elastic members 15 and 16 can be determined as appropriate. However, if the distance exceeds 10 mm, the thickness of the flange 80 changes in a direction crossing the expansion / contraction direction, although not as long as the longitudinal intermittent joining form. In the present invention, the distances 15d and 16d between the adjacent elastic elastic members 15 and 16 are preferably 10 mm or less, particularly 3 to 7 mm.

  The thickness and elongation rate of the elastic elastic members 15 and 16 (elongation rate when the elastic structure is fully deployed) may be appropriately selected according to the mounting position of the elastic elastic members 15 and 16, and the preferred range is as follows. As described above. In general, it is desirable that the elastic elastic members 15 and 16 have a thickness of about 300 to 1000 dtex and an elongation rate of about 200 to 350%.

  In the expansion / contraction structure described above, as the elastic expansion / contraction members 15 and 16 contract, as shown in FIG. 6B, a portion located between the sheet joining portions 70 in the first sheet material 12S and the second sheet material 12H. Respectively contract and swell in opposite directions to form a ridge 80. FIG. 6 (b) shows a natural length state, but the elastic elastic members 15 and 16 are stretched to some extent from this state when worn, and as shown in FIG. The height 80h of the ridge 80 is lowered. In addition, since this stretchable structure is in the form of continuous joining in the vertical direction, a flange 80 that extends straight along the sheet joining portion 70 is formed, and is excellent in air permeability and appearance.

  The width in the expansion / contraction direction of each sheet joint portion 70 affects the interval between adjacent ridges 80. When the ridge 80 formed is thin as in the case of the longitudinal continuous joint form, the width exceeds 4 mm. In addition to the fact that the space between the adjacent ridges 80 becomes too wide and the individual ridges 80 look independent, the adjacent ridges 80 are deformed when the ridges 80 are crushed and collapsed by the compressive force in the thickness direction. As a result of the weaker supportive action, the resistance to deformation or the restoration after the change also becomes weak, and as a result, the sense of funiness becomes insufficient.

  Moreover, when the width of the sheet joining portion 70 in the expansion / contraction direction is simply set to 1 to 4 mm, and the interval between adjacent sheet joining portions 70 is less than 4 mm or more than 8 mm, the following occurs. That is, the interval between the adjacent sheet joint portions 70 affects the height 80h and width of the ridge 80, and when it is about 2 mm, the ridge 80 having poor continuity in the vertical direction similar to the case where it is continuously fixed in the expansion / contraction direction. (There is no need to intermittently provide the sheet joining portion 70 in the expansion and contraction direction.) At 3 mm, the ridge 80 extends straight in the direction orthogonal to the expansion and contraction direction, but the function of supporting adjacent ridges 80 can be expected. The feeling of fun is not enough. Moreover, when the space | interval of the sheet | seat junction part 70 exceeds 8 mm, the collar 80 will be crushed irregularly by compression at the time of packaging, and the appearance of a product will worsen. On the other hand, a sufficient soft feeling can be obtained only when the width in the expansion / contraction direction of the sheet bonding portion 70 is 1 to 4 mm and the interval between the sheet bonding portions 70 is 4 to 8 mm. Due to the compression, the ridges 80 are not easily crushed irregularly. Further, when the sheet joining portion 70 is formed by welding in the longitudinal continuous joining form, hardening of the welding portion 75 is inevitable, but if the size of the sheet joining portion 70 is within the above range, the effect of hardening is small. It becomes. Further, as a secondary effect, the transparency of the welded portion 75 is increased, and an appearance in which the glossy welded portion 75 forms a stripe pattern is obtained.

  On the other hand, if the fixing force of the elastic elastic members 15 and 16 is insufficient, the elastic elastic members 15 and 16 may come off. In particular, it is desirable that the width 70w in the expansion / contraction direction of each sheet bonding portion 70 is narrow. In this case, the position where the elastic expansion / contraction members 15 and 16 and the sheet bonding portion 70 cross each other is small, and the elastic expansion / contraction member at this small position. 15 and 16 need to be fixed, and it is important to secure the fixing force of the elastic members 15 and 16.

  Therefore, the elastic elastic members 15 and 16 are partially fixed to at least one of the first sheet material 12S and the second sheet material 12H even at a position other than the position where the sheet bonding portion 70 intersects, and the elastic elastic members 15 and 16 are fixed. It is also a preferred form. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 10, a reinforcing hot melt adhesive 71 is provided in a region where both ends of the elastic elastic members 15 and 16 are located in at least one of the first sheet material 12S and the second sheet material 12H. It is possible to reinforce the fixing of the elastic members 15 and 16 to the first sheet material 12S and the second sheet material 12H.

  In addition, since the elastic expansion members 15 and 16 of the exterior body 12 of the pants-type disposable diaper are firmly fixed at the side seal portion 12A at the end portions in the width direction, the end regions on the side seal portion 12A side are It is also a preferable form that the fixing strengthening means is omitted.

(Other)
The above example is an example of application to the part from the waist lower part U to the middle part L of the pants-type disposable diaper, but it may be applied including the waist edge W, and the elastic elastic member 16 of the middle part L May be omitted. Moreover, the above-mentioned expansion-contraction structure is applicable also to other expansion-contraction parts, such as the trunk | drum circumference part of the back side part of a tape type disposable diaper described in the term of the prior art, and a three-dimensional gather.

  The present invention is suitable for a pants-type disposable diaper as in the above example, but can be applied not only to a tape-type or pad-type disposable diaper but also to all absorbent articles such as sanitary napkins.
