[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a female urinary incontinence pad, and more particularly to a female urinary incontinence pad which is convenient for use in daily standing, behavior, or in hospital letters.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as measures against urinary incontinence, diapers and diapers are generally used. Especially, diapers made of cloth, paper, etc. are used for inpatients or home medical care.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the invention] By the way, when diapers and diapers are not inconvenient in such a relatively low activity state, urinary incontinence measures are desired while performing daily life, or When urinary incontinence measures are desired at the time of going to hospital, various simple urine leakage preventive devices have already been provided for men, but no particularly effective urine leakage preventive devices have been provided for women.

Therefore, the purpose of this invention is to
The purpose of the present invention is to provide a urinary incontinence pad which can be used in the same manner as a sanitary napkin, is excellent in measures against urine leakage, and has less discomfort when worn.

[0005]

To achieve the above object, in the present invention, a urinary incontinence pad is composed of an absorbent body for absorbing urine and a molded casing for accommodating the absorbent body. It is one that has been elaborately devised.

That is, the female urinary incontinence pad according to the present invention covers an outer casing made of a molded body of a soft foam material, an absorber housed in a molding recess of the outer casing, and an upper surface of the absorber. It is a urinary incontinence pad consisting of a surface material heat-sealed to the peripheral brim of the jacket, and the jacket has a planar shape in which at least the central part is constricted and the front part becomes deeper toward the rear part and becomes shallower. It has a three-dimensional shape, and the upper surface of the absorbent body is characterized by a female urinary incontinence pad in which the front part is located lower than the peripheral brim part of the casing and the rear part is located higher than the peripheral part. .

[0007] That the outer casing has a planar shape in which at least the central portion is constricted means that a violin-shaped or cocoon-shaped shape in which the central portion is constricted and a portion from the central portion to one end portion, particularly the rear portion is more than the front portion. Also includes both shapes that are narrow.

The absorbent body is preferably a cotton-like pulp sheet,
It is composed of a laminate of a plurality of layers of water absorbent paper, deodorant paper and water absorbent polymer sheet. The absorbent paper is preferably one in which the fibers are mainly arranged in the longitudinal direction.

[0009]

As described above, if the absorber is housed in the molding concave portion of the outer body made of the molded product of the soft foam material, the handling is extremely simple. In addition, if it is stored in such a jacket, even if it is twisted with your foot, the direction of the twist is relatively stable and the shape of the jacket is maintained, so it is often the case. This prevents the occurrence of spills that are found in sanitary napkins.

Further, since the outer cover and thus the entire planar shape is a planar shape in which at least the central portion is constricted, it is easy to fit in the crotch and there is little discomfort when worn.

Furthermore, since it has a three-dimensional shape in which the front part of the outer cover is deep and shallow toward the rear part, unlike the menstrual blood, urine excreted from the central part to the front part can be reliably captured. Since the urine received in the front is absorbed by the absorber, it matches the characteristic of urination that the need for the outer cover becomes less as it goes to the rear, and compared to a pad with an overall thickness The fit is good and the feeling of discomfort when worn is further alleviated.

Since the front portion of the upper surface of the absorbent body is located lower than the peripheral brim portion of the outer casing and the rear portion is located higher than the peripheral portion, the front portion that has absorbed urine is in close contact with the body. It does not cause discomfort. Since the rear part has a smooth surface, the absorbent body does not feel uncomfortable when it comes into contact with the skin. On the other hand, although there is a feeling of strangeness when the seal portion of the surface material touches the skin, in the rear part, the upper surface of the absorber is positioned higher than the peripheral part, so that the wearing feeling is good.

When the absorbent body is composed of a laminate of a cotton-like pulp sheet, a plurality of layers of water-absorbent paper, a deodorant paper and a water-absorbent polymer sheet, urine is quickly absorbed by the first layer of cotton-like pulp and immediately Reach layer of absorbent paper. When the fibers of the water absorbent paper are arranged mainly in the longitudinal direction, urine reaching the water absorbent paper immediately diffuses in the longitudinal direction and is captured by the water absorbent polymer sheet of the fourth layer. In this way, since the water-absorbent polymer sheet is sufficiently diffused in the longitudinal direction and captured by the water-absorbent polymer sheet, urine is not partly collected. Also, spilling is prevented.

Since urine is spot-absorbed, only the front part of the surface side is wetted, and the rear surface is dry. From this point as well, the rear part can be made thin, so that it fits well on the body and can relieve the discomfort when worn.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS A description will be given below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Figure 1
FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an embodiment of a female urinary incontinence pad according to the present invention, in which reference numeral 1 denotes a molded body of a soft foam material, for example, a molded body of a foamed polyethylene sheet, a foamed polyurethane sheet or the like, and a peripheral collar portion. 2 and has a planar shape in which the central portion is constricted as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3. Three
Is a surface material that is accommodated in the molding recess 4 of the outer jacket 1 and that is covered with the upper surface of the absorbent body 3 by heat fusion to the peripheral flange portion 2 of the outer jacket 1. Has been done. Reference numeral 6 denotes a double-sided adhesive tape fixed to the bottom surface of the outer cover 1, and in order to prevent inadvertent misalignment when it is used, the release paper on the surface can be peeled off to be fixed to a predetermined portion of the underwear.

Further, as shown in the side view of FIG. 4, the outer casing 1 has a three-dimensional shape in which the front portion is deep and the rear portion is shallow, and the upper surface of the absorber 3 housed in the molding recess 4 is shown. The front part is located lower than the peripheral brim part 2 of the outer cover,
The rear portion has a thickness higher than the peripheral flange portion 2 (see FIG. 5).

FIG. 6 shows a standard structure of the absorbent body 3, which is composed of a laminated body of a cotton-like pulp sheet 3a, a plurality of layers of water absorbing paper 3b, a deodorant paper 3c and a water absorbing polymer sheet 3d. . The thickness of each part, the number of plies, etc. are determined according to the amount of urine output, and the following is an example.

Urine output Cotton-like pulp sheet Water-absorbent paper Deodorant paper Polymer sheet Medium amount 250g / m ² · 1p 4p 1p 100g / m ² · 1p Small amount 125g / m ² · 1p 4p 1p 50g / m ² · 1p Trace amount For 100 g / m ² · 1p 2p 1p 25 g / m ² · 1p The water absorbing paper 3 b has fibers arranged mainly in the longitudinal direction, and urine reaching the water absorbing paper immediately diffuses in the longitudinal direction and absorbs water in the fourth layer. The polymer sheet 3d is configured to be captured. Further, by placing the deodorant paper 3c on the polymer sheet 3d holding urine, it is possible to effectively eliminate the odor from the polymer sheet that has absorbed urine. It is assumed that these laminated bodies are fixed to the inner bottom surface of the outer casing with a double-sided adhesive tape or other adhering means so as not to cause positional displacement inside the outer casing 1.

The cotton-like pulp sheet 3a can be integrated into a laminated body by bending and arranging the cotton-like pulp sheet 3a on the bottom side at the front portion as shown in FIG. FIG. 7 shows an example in which rayon fibers 3e are further laid on the upper surface of the cotton-like pulp sheet, that is, the uppermost surface of the laminate.

FIG. 8 and FIG. 9 are comparison views of the absorption action of the sanitary napkin and the urinary incontinence pad of the present invention, in which (A) is a plan view, (B) is a bottom view, and (C) is a side view. The figure is shown. In the case of menstrual blood 7 (FIG. 9), since the absorption speed is slow, it is difficult to absorb it even to the lower part of the absorber, and it is not effective to use the structure of vertically diffusing in the lower part. However, urine 8
In the case of FIG. 8 (FIG. 8), since the absorption speed is high, the water-absorbent paper 3 of the second layer quickly passes through the first layer of cotton-like pulp sheet 3a.
reach b. Since the water absorbent paper 3b mainly has fibers arranged in the longitudinal direction, urine reaching the water absorbent paper is immediately diffused in the longitudinal direction and is captured by the polymer sheet 3d of the fourth layer. Due to such an absorption system, urine is spot-absorbed as shown, only a portion of the anterior surface is wet and the posterior surface is dry. Therefore, the rear part can be made thin, and it fits well on the body,
There is little discomfort when worn. Further, since the front surface portion absorbed by the spot is located at a lower position than the peripheral flange portion 2 of the outer cover as shown in the drawing, it does not come into close contact with the body and does not cause discomfort. Since the surface of the rear part is dry, it is placed higher than the seal part of the surface material, and the soft surface material and the absorbent body are in direct contact with the skin to give a good wearing feeling.
