Description

The present invention relates to an absorbent article such as a pad type or a tape stopper type which includes an outer sheet, an inner surface sheet and an absorbent body sandwiched between them, and is used in combination with an outer such as a pants-type disposable diaper.

Absorbent articles such as disposable diapers come in various forms depending on the age, gender, use, etc. of the user. For example, pad-type absorbent articles (diapers) are used with outerwear such as pants-type disposable diapers, diaper covers, and cloth underwear. That is, the pad-type absorbent article is used by being inserted inside the outer worn by the user, and after use, only the absorbent article is discarded, and as a simple absorbent article, an absorbent article especially for adults. Widely used as.
This pad-type absorbent article is provided with an outer sheet (back sheet), an inner sheet (top sheet), and an absorber sandwiched between them, and is worn from the abdomen to the back so as to cover the user's crotch and absorbs. The outer shape of the sex article and the absorber is vertically long.
In this pad-type absorbent article, it is necessary to bring the absorber portion into close contact with the abdomen, crotch and back (buttocks) of the user to prevent leakage of body fluid discharged by the user. Therefore, in the absorber, the width of the portion applied to the ventral side and the dorsal side of the user becomes wider than the width of the portion applied to the crotch side of the user, and accordingly, the entire absorbent article also becomes wider than the width of the portion applied to the user's crotch side. In many cases, the width of the ventral side applied to the ventral side and the width of the dorsal side applied to the back side of the user are wider than the width of the crotch side applied to the crotch side of the user.
In addition, it has the same structure as a pad-type absorbent article, and is provided with tape members (fastening tape) on both sides of the back side and fastening members (front seats) on both sides of the ventral side. A type of absorbent article is also widely used as a pad type absorbent article.
This tape-stop type absorbent article is different from the pad type absorbent article by itself.
Alternatively, it is used in combination with a pad, and when used, the ventral, crotch, and dorsal parts of the absorbent article are applied to the ventral, crotch, and dorsal sides of the user, and the tape member on the dorsal side. (Fastening tape) is engaged with the fastening member (front seat) on the ventral side and attached to the user.

FIG. 16 is a front view of a pad-type absorbent article in an expanded and flat state. In the figure, 100 is an absorbent article, 101 is an exterior sheet (back sheet), 102 is an absorber, and C100 is a longitudinal object. The centerline of the direction.
As shown in FIG. 16, in the absorbent article 100, both the exterior sheet 101 (including the inner surface sheet attached thereto) and the absorber 102 bulge left and right in the upper part in the longitudinal direction and left and right in the central part in the same direction. It has a dent and a shape in which the lower part in the same direction bulges to the left and right, and its width (width in the left-right direction) increases in the order of the central part, the upper part, and the lower part.
In this case, the upper part is the ventral or dorsal part, the central part is the crotch side, and the lower part is the dorsal or ventral part, but the upper part whose width (area) is narrower than the lower part is the ventral part. Whether it is the dorsal part or not depends on the user. For example, a female user often has the upper part as the ventral side, and a male user often has the upper part as the dorsal part.
The absorbent article 100 is usually transported and stored in a folded state for space saving and convenience of handling.
17A and 17B are explanatory views illustrating a state in which the absorbent article 100 shown in FIG. 16 is folded, FIG. 17A is a front view of the absorbent article 100 before folding, and FIG. 17B is absorption during folding. The front view of the sex article 100, FIG. 3C is a front view of the absorbent article 100 after folding, and f10 to f12 are fold lines in the figure.
First, in the absorbent article 100 in the unfolded state before folding as shown in FIG. 17A, the left side portion and the right side portion thereof are folded inward along the folding lines f10 and f11 in the longitudinal direction, and FIG. As shown in (b), it is folded in three.
Next, the three-folded absorbent article 100 is folded inward along the folding line f12 in the direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction, and is brought into a six-folded state as shown in FIG. 17 (c).
When the absorbent article 100 folded in this way is used, it is attached to the user in an unfolded state as shown in FIG. 17 (a), but the left side of the folded ventral and dorsal sides. And one of the right side is not completely unfolded, and it is easy to wear it with a part folded inward or outward.
Then, when any part of the left side portion and the right side portion of the ventral side or the dorsal side of the absorbent article is folded inward or outward, a part of the thick absorber is particularly provided. If it is worn while being folded inward or outward, or if it is wrinkled, the absorbent article will not adhere well to the user's skin, causing the problem of leakage of body fluid discharged by the user.
Therefore, when the absorbent article 100 is attached to the user, it is necessary to prevent a part of the left side portion and the right side portion of the ventral side and the dorsal side thereof from being folded inward or outward, and the absorbent article 100. It is necessary for the person who wears the 100 to the user (wearer) to be conscious of spreading the ventral side and the dorsal side to the left and right.
Further, when the width of the upper part (ventral part or dorsal side) and the width of the lower part (dorsal side or ventral side) are different and the area of the upper part and the area of the lower part are different as in the absorbent article 100, whichever It is also necessary to display so that it can be seen whether the area of is large, that is, which left or right side is wider.
Further, since the absorbent article 100 is provided with a center display (not shown) such as a thick line on the center line C100, when the absorbent article 100 is labeled, the function of the center display is not impaired. There is also a need.
The above points are the same for the tape-stop type absorbent article.

By the way, in absorbent articles such as pad type and tape stopper type, various indications are made on the exterior sheet (back sheet) and the like.
For example, in Patent Document 1 (Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2005-287791), in order to facilitate alignment with a disposable diaper used at the time of wearing, from both sides in the width direction of the absorbent article to the surface side. From both sides of the wound back sheet toward the inside of the surface, linear alignment marks in the longitudinal direction are formed at regular intervals in the longitudinal direction, and colored ends are provided for alignment in the width direction. I'm doing it.
Further, in Patent Document 2 (Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2008-264232), the absorbent body is absorbed by the back sheet so that the absorbent capacity can be identified even after the absorbent article is taken out from the package. The information display unit as an identification unit capable of identifying the ability is printed and displayed at six locations in accordance with each corner portion and the central portion.
However, in the pad-type and tape-stopping type absorbent articles shown in Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2, the width of the absorber and the entire absorbent article is constant, and the widths of the ventral and dorsal sides are crotch. It is not wider than the width of the side part, and the display provided on the left and right side parts of the back sheet is a display that can determine whether or not a part of the left and right side part is folded inward or outward. is not.
In this regard, in Patent Document 3 (Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2015-92947), both front and rear waist panels (ventral and dorsal) are joined to each other, and both front and rear ends of the crotch panel (crotch) are joined to each other. In the pants-type worn items joined to the skin facing surfaces of the front and rear waist panels, the side flaps and front waist are provided so that the bending of the inner edge of the leg elastic region in the side flaps of the crotch panel can be easily detected. A design display section extending from the area to the rear waist area is provided.
However, the design display portion of Patent Document 3 is for detecting the bending of the side flaps (both sides) of the crotch panel (crotch side), and is for the front and rear waist panels (ventral and dorsal). It is not intended to detect bends in the left and right parts.
In the first place, in a pants-type worn article as in Patent Document 3, a part of the left and right side parts of the ventral side and the dorsal side is inside or outside at the time of wearing, like a pad type or tape-stopping type absorbent article. There is no problem of being folded into.

Further, in Patent Document 4 (Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2002-291786), in an absorbent article used in combination with a covering means for covering the outside, which includes an absorbing element for absorbing and holding a body fluid, the covering means is described. An absorbent article with front and rear notation is disclosed in which the front and rear notation is directly printed on the exterior sheet in contact with the inner surface.
However, what is printed on the exterior sheet of the absorbent article of Patent Document 4 is the front-rear notation, and which area is wider, the ventral side or the dorsal side, that is, which left and right side part is wider. Does not indicate.
Moreover, the anterior-posterior notation of Patent Document 4 is provided not in the left and right sides of the ventral and dorsal sides but in the central part, and let's focus on the left and right sides of the ventral and dorsal parts to determine which is wider. The notation is difficult to understand even in terms of position for the wearer.

Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2005-287791 Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2008-264232 Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2015-92947 JP-A-2002-291786

[Basic configuration of pad-type absorbent articles]
An embodiment in which the present invention is applied to a pad-type absorbent article will be described. First, a basic configuration of a pad-type absorbent article will be described.
FIG. 1 is a front view of a pad-type absorbent article to which the present invention is applied in an expanded and flat state, FIG. 2 is a rear view of the absorbent article of FIG. 1, and FIG. 3 is YY of FIG. A cross-sectional view, FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line XX of FIG.
In the figure, 1 is a pad-type absorbent article, 2 is an absorber, 3 is an exterior sheet, 3a is a polyethylene film, 3b is a non-woven fabric, 4 is an inner surface sheet, 5 and 6 are three-dimensional gather sheets, and 5a and 6a are standing parts. 5b and 6b are tip edges, 5c and 6c are folded portions, SF is a side flap, and D1 and D2 are elastic members.
As shown in the figure, the absorbent article 1 includes an absorber 2, an exterior sheet 3 that covers the absorber 2 from the front side, an inner surface sheet 4 that covers the absorber 2 from the back side, and a three-dimensional gather sheet 5 that is laminated on the inner surface sheet 4. , 6 is composed.
The absorber 2 is mainly composed of cotton-like pulp containing highly absorbent polymer particles and combined with absorbent paper or the like (not shown), and absorbs and retains body fluid or the like discharged by the user.
The exterior sheet 3 is also called a back sheet, and is a laminate of a liquid-impermeable polyethylene film 3a and a non-woven fabric 3b as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4. The non-woven fabric 3b is laminated in order to improve the appearance and the texture, and the exterior sheet 3 may be composed only of the polyethylene film 3b.
Further, although not shown in the figure showing the absorbent article 1, as a means for fixing the absorbent article to the outer or the body, which is usually used for disposable diapers, a locking means such as an adhesive material or a hook material is attached to the exterior. The sheet 3 may be provided, or a belt-shaped or tab-shaped fixing means may be provided on the exterior sheet 3.
The inner surface sheet 4 is also called a top sheet and is made of a non-woven fabric.
The exterior sheet 3 and the inner surface sheet 4 overlap each other on the outer side of the peripheral edge of the absorber 2, and are adhered to each other by an adhesive (not shown) or heat fusion at the overlapping portion, whereby the absorber 2 is sealed. ..

The three-dimensional gather sheets 5 and 6 are made of a non-woven fabric, and are adhered to the exterior sheet 3 with an adhesive (not shown) except for the upright portions 5a and 6a as shown in FIG. The tip portions of the upright portions 5a and 6a are folded back to form folded portions 5b and 6b, and elastic members D1 and D2 such as rubber threads are sandwiched between the folded portions 5b and 6b, and the folded portions 5b and 6b overlap each other. The surfaces are glued together (not shown) or by heat fusion.
FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line XX in a state where the standing portions 5a and 6a stand up to form a three-dimensional gather.
As shown in FIG. 2, the elastic members D1 and D2 are arranged along the longitudinal direction of the absorbent article 1 and are adhesively fixed to the folded-back portions 5b and 6b in an extended state, so that the elastic members D1 and D2 shrink. As a result, the entire absorbent article 1 is curved so that the exterior sheet 3 side is convex in the longitudinal direction, whereby the tip edges 5b and 6b are separated from the inner surface sheet and the standing portions 5a and 6a are separated from each other as shown in FIG. It stands up in a V shape and forms an arch-shaped three-dimensional gather. By forming the three-dimensional gathers in this way, lateral leakage of body fluid or the like is prevented.
The side flap SF is a flap-shaped portion in which the exterior sheet 3 and the inner surface sheet 4 are bonded together, and is formed outside the peripheral edge of the absorber 2.
Although one elastic member D1 and one D2 are arranged, a plurality of elastic members D1 and D2 may be arranged, and the three-dimensional gather sheets 5 and 6 may have a configuration different from the above. It is not necessary to provide the three-dimensional gather sheets 5 and 6.

[Area of absorbent articles]
FIG. 6 is an explanatory view showing a region of the absorbent article 1. In the figure, g1 and g2 are outlines, m1, m2, n1 and n2 are virtual lines, and R1 to R4 are regions, and the absorbent article. The direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction (horizontal direction) of 1 is the X direction, and the longitudinal direction (vertical direction) is the Y direction.
As shown in FIG. 6, the absorbent article 1 is divided into a left side portion X1, a central portion X2, and a right side portion X3 by virtual lines m1 and m2 in the X direction (horizontal direction), and a virtual line in the Y direction (vertical direction). It is divided into an upper part Y1, a central part Y2, and a lower part Y3 by n1 and n2.
From this, in the absorbent article 1, the region R1 is formed on the left side portion X1 of the upper portion Y1 by the left outer line g1 and the virtual lines m1 and n1, and the right outer line g2 on the right side portion X3 of the upper portion Y1. The area R2 is formed by the virtual lines m2 and n1, the area R3 is formed by the left outer line g1 and the virtual lines m1 and n2 on the left side X1 of the lower part Y3, and the right side outer line is formed on the right side X3 of the lower part Y3. The region R4 is formed by g2 and the virtual lines m2 and n2.

[Outer shape of absorbent article 1 and absorber 2]
The outer shape of the absorbent article 1 and the outer shape of the absorber 2 are similar to each other as shown in FIG. 6, both of which have a vertically elongated shape in the Y direction (vertical direction) and a width (horizontal width) in the X direction (horizontal direction). It's changing.
Then, in the upper portion Y1 and the lower portion Y3, the outer shape of the absorber 2 of the absorbent article 1 bulges in the X direction, and in the central portion Y2, the outer shapes of the absorbent article 1 and the absorber 2 dent in the X direction, and the width of the lower portion Y3. Is wider than the width of the upper part Y1, and the area of the lower part Y3 is also wider than the area of the upper part Y1.
That is, both the absorbent article 1 and the absorber 2 have a wider width and an area in the order of the central portion Y2, the upper portion Y1, and the lower portion Y3.
The reason why the width and area of the outer shape of the absorbent article 1 and the absorbent body 2 are changed in this way is that the absorbent article having a width and length larger than that of the crotch is formed into a shape along the body. This is to prevent the leakage of body fluids discharged by the user and to reduce the discomfort due to the rigidity of the absorber by bringing the three-dimensional gathers into close contact with the ventral side, crotch side and dorsal side (buttocks) of the user.
In this case, the central portion Y2 is the crotch side portion applied to the crotch side of the user.
Further, it is not always constant whether the lower part Y3, which is the wider bulge, is the ventral part applied to the ventral side of the user or the dorsal part applied to the dorsal side (buttocks), and the user. It depends on the application.
For example, if the user is a woman, the lower part Y3 is often the dorsal part that is applied to the dorsal side (buttocks), and if the user is a male, the lower part Y3 is the ventral part that is applied to the ventral side. There are many. Further, when the lower part Y3 is laid under the back part (buttocks) when the lower part Y3 is used while lying on the bed, the lower part Y3 becomes the back side part regardless of the gender of the user.
The shape (outer shape) of the pad-type absorbent article or the like to which the present invention is applied is limited to an outer shape in which the upper part and the lower part bulge in the X direction as in the absorbent article 1 shown in FIGS. 1 to 6. Only one of the upper part and the lower part may bulge in the X direction, and the other may have the same width as the central part. Similarly, for the absorber, only one of the upper part and the lower part may bulge in the X direction, and the other may have the same width as the central part.

[Configuration of discrimination display, etc.]
FIG. 7 is a front view of an embodiment of the absorbent article to which the discriminant display of the present invention has been applied in an expanded and flat state. In the figure, 10a and 10b are figures, and 11A to 11D are discriminant displays. is there.
As shown in FIG. 7, in the absorbent article 1, the discrimination display 11A is provided on the side flap SF1 of the region R1, the discrimination display 11B is provided on the side flap SF2 of the region R2, and the discrimination display 11C is provided on the side of the region R3. The flap SF3 is provided, and the discrimination display 11D is provided on the side flap SF4 of the region R4.
The discrimination display 11A is formed by arranging three figures 10a in which two regular triangles or isosceles triangles having the left side as the apex are arranged in the X direction in the Y direction, and the discrimination display 11B is line-symmetrical with the figure 10a. Three figures 10b are arranged in the Y direction, the discrimination display 11C is a figure in which five figures 10a are arranged in the Y direction, and the discrimination display 11D is a figure in which five figures 10b are arranged in the Y direction. is there.
The shapes, sizes, and numbers of the figures 10a and 10b constituting the discrimination displays 11A to 11D are not limited to those shown in FIG. 7, and these may be changed. For example, the figures 10a and 10b may be made larger than those in FIG. 7 to reduce the number (for example, two figures 10a and the like are provided in the areas R1 and R2, and four figures 10a and the like are formed in the areas R3 and R4). (Arrange), conversely, the figures 10a and 10b may be made smaller than those in FIG. 7 to increase the number (for example, four figures 10a and the like are in the areas R1 and R2, and the figures are in the areas R3 and R4). 6 pieces of 10a etc. are arranged.).
The discrimination indications 11A to 11D are provided on the side flaps S1 to SF4 by being printed on the polyethylene film 3a of the exterior sheet 3. The polyethylene films 3a on which the discrimination displays 11A to 11D are printed are covered with the non-woven fabric 3b, but since the non-woven fabric 3b is thin, the discrimination displays 11A to 11D can be visually recognized from the outside.
Further, the discrimination indications 11A to 11D may be printed on the outer surface or the inner surface of the non-woven fabric 3b instead of the polyethylene film 3a.
Further, the display method of the discrimination displays 11A to 11D is not limited to printing, and a label or the like printed with the discrimination displays 11A to 11D can be attached to a polyethylene film 3a or a non-woven fabric 3b or the like, or sheets of different colors can be discriminated and displayed. It may be hollowed out into the shapes of 11A to 11D (for example, the polyethylene film 3a and the non-woven fabric 3b may have different colors, and the non-woven fabric 3b may be hollowed out into the shapes of the discrimination labels 11A to 11D).
Then, as shown in FIG. 16, the absorbent articles 1 provided with the discrimination indications 11A to 11D are folded in three in the X direction (the left side portion X1 and the right side portion X3 are folded toward the inner surface sheet 4 side), and further. It is folded and stored in a state where it is folded in half in the Y direction. At this time, the discrimination displays 11A to 11D provided in the areas R1 to R4 are hidden inside the folded absorbent article 1 and cannot be visually recognized from the outside.
The left side portion X1 and the right side portion X of the absorbent article 1 do not necessarily have to be folded along the virtual lines m1 and m2, and the vicinity of the virtual lines m1 and m2 may be folded.

[Discrimination display function 1]
