Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (a) Industrial application field The present invention relates to a disposable diaper suitable for use by people who are confined to hospital beds for long periods of time, such as bedridden elderly people.

(b) Conventional technology Conventional disposable diapers are constructed by covering the front and back sides of a hygroscopic thin paper laminate with a vinyl sheet and Japanese paper, respectively. The diaper is used by placing it over the lower abdomen, crotch, and buttocks, and securing it with a diaper cover. However, conventional disposable diapers cannot prevent side leakage, where urine leaks from both sides of the diaper to the outside and goes around the hips, and cannot prevent urine from flowing from the lower abdomen to the crotch area, resulting in bedsores. There are disadvantages such as the need to change disposable diapers frequently in order to prevent such problems.

(c) Problems to be solved by the invention The purpose of the invention is to provide a disposable diaper that overcomes the drawbacks of the prior art described above.

(d) Means for Solving the Problems The present invention provides a disposable diaper having a paper portion composed of a thin paper laminate and Japanese paper covering the back side, in which the paper portion is arranged so that its upper and lower edges are aligned. The paper portion has dimensions that cover the lower abdomen of the user when folded and folded so that both side edges meet, and the paper portion is folded in four at four locations. The disadvantages of the prior art described above are overcome by providing a penile insertion notch that is generally aligned with each other and located approximately in the center of the folded paper portion.

(e) Examples The present invention will be explained below with reference to illustrated embodiments.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the disposable diaper of the illustrated embodiment has a thin paper laminate 1 having a structure in which a plurality of hygroscopic thin papers are stacked, and the front and back sides of this thin paper laminate 1 are A vinyl sheet 2 and Japanese paper 3 are provided. The thin paper laminate 1 and Japanese paper 3
The paper portion 4 consisting of is folded in four at the position shown by chain line 5 with its upper and lower edges (Fig. 1) aligned, and folded at the position shown by chain line 6 with both side edges aligned. It has a size that covers the user's lower abdomen at some point. Furthermore, at four locations in the paper portion 4, there are notches for penile insertion that are approximately aligned with each other when the paper portion 4 is folded in four as described above, and are located approximately in the center of the paper portion in the four-fold state. 7, 8, 9, and 10 are provided. Each notch can be formed by providing two linear notches, each having a length of about 3 cm, in an X shape, for example.

As is clear from FIGS. 2 and 3, the upper and lower edges 3a, 3b and both side edges 3c, 3d of the Japanese paper 3 surround the upper and lower edges and both side edges of the thin paper laminate 1, respectively, on the front side of the thin paper laminate 1. bent towards
It is pressed onto the surface of the thin paper laminate 1. Further, the vinyl sheet 2 is somewhat larger in size than the paper portion 4, and the upper and lower edges and the left side edge of the vinyl sheet 2 protrude slightly outward from the upper and lower edges and the left side edge of the paper portion 4. By increasing the size of the vinyl sheet 2 in this way, the paper portion 4 can be folded into four and then wrapped in the vinyl sheet 2 in a good manner. Further, the vinyl sheet 2 has a right side edge 11
In this case, the Japanese paper 3 is pressed onto the edge 3a' of the Japanese paper 3, which is pressed onto the surface of the thin paper laminate 1, so that it can be easily peeled off.

In addition to the notches 7, 8, 9, and 10 for penile insertion, the paper diaper of the illustrated embodiment has a notch 12 at approximately the center of the paper portion 4 for use as a disposable diaper for women. It is being This cut portion can be composed of a linear cut with a length of about 6 cm. Further, as the vinyl sheet 2, a colored vinyl sheet colored in a color such as blue is used, and when the paper portion folded in four is wrapped with the vinyl sheet 2, the front side of the paper diaper, that is, the vinyl sheet side, and the back side, It is desirable to make it easy to distinguish it from the paper part side.

The disposable diaper of the illustrated embodiment has the above-mentioned structure, and when it is used for a man, firstly, the right side edge 11 (FIGS. 1 and 3) is made of vinyl crimped onto the edge 3d' of the Japanese paper 3. Peel off the sheet 2 from the edge 3d' to about half its length, and fold the paper portion 4 along the chain lines 5 and 6 in FIG. 4 Fold it in quarters as shown in Figure 4. When the paper portion 4 is folded in four in this manner, the cut portions 7, 8, 9, and 10 are substantially aligned with each other. Next, completely cover one side of the paper portion 4 folded in four, for example, the front side of the page in Figure 4, with the vinyl sheet 2, and the other side of the paper portion 4, for example, the back side of the page in Figure 4. The paper portion 4 is wrapped in the vinyl sheet 4 while being careful not to cover the surface with the vinyl sheet. After doing this, insert your finger or the like into the notches 7, 8, 9, and 10 that are almost aligned with each other to make holes of appropriate size, and then insert the vinyl sheet 2 of the folded paper portion 4. Place the disposable diaper on the user's lower abdomen with the uncovered side in contact with the user's body (see Figure 5), and with the penis inserted into the hole, attach the disposable diaper to the diaper cover. It is fixed by. In this case, a normal paper diaper or one cut to an appropriate size 15 is placed on the user's buttock side in order to defecate, and is fixed with the same diaper cover as described above.

As is clear from the above, when the disposable diaper of the illustrated embodiment is worn by a male user, the penis is inserted into the hole and its tip comes close to the vinyl sheet 2. Therefore, when the user is sleeping in a normal prone position, the tip of the penis is above the paper part 4, so urine flows downward toward the paper part 4, and the paper part 4 absorbs it well. It will be done. Further, as described above, the cut portions 7, 8, 9, which are substantially aligned with each other,
When a finger or the like is inserted into the paper portion 10 and a hole is made by cutting the cut portion, urine is absorbed into the paper portion 4 more effectively because the cut portion is highly hygroscopic. Furthermore, since the paper diaper of the illustrated embodiment has the paper portion 4 folded in four and is applied only to the user's lower abdomen as shown in FIG. In addition, since the disposable diaper is applied only to the lower abdomen, there is an advantage that it is extremely easy to put the disposable diaper on the user and to remove the used disposable diaper from the user. As mentioned above, when using the paper diaper of the illustrated embodiment, it is necessary to use the paper diaper 15 for receiving stool separately from this paper diaper.
Normally, it is not necessary to change frequently, and the disposable diaper of the illustrated embodiment can be easily replaced only after opening the diaper cover. In addition, when the disposable diaper of the illustrated embodiment is used for a man who produces a large amount of urine, after inserting the penis into the notches 7, 8, 9, and 10 of the paper portion 4 folded in four, the paper portion of the conventional disposable diaper is Cut a piece of absorbent paper into the size of paper part 4.
It is recommended that the moisture-absorbing paper be placed between the paper and the vinyl sheet 2 so that the tip of the penis is covered with this moisture-absorbing paper.

Next, when the disposable diaper of the illustrated embodiment is used for a woman, the vinyl sheet 2 is attached to the edge portion 3 of the Japanese paper 3.
After completely tearing it off from d', fold the paper part 4 into three at the positions of chain lines 13 and 14 in FIG. 1 so that the side of the Japanese paper 3 faces outward,
After inserting a finger or the like into the notch 12 and making a slight incision, the paper portion 4 folded in three is placed approximately in the center of the vinyl sheet 2 as shown in FIG. In this state, in the longitudinal direction (sixth direction) of the paper portion 4 folded in three
Place the paper diaper over the user's lower abdomen, crotch, and buttocks so that the paper diaper (in the vertical direction in the figure) is in the vertical direction of the user's body, and the paper portion 4 is in contact with the user. It is applied so that the incision 12 comes into contact with the user's genitals. After doing this, cover the outside of the paper part with two vinyl sheets.
All you have to do is make sure it is in good condition and secure the paper diaper with a diaper cover. In this way, the cut portion 12 having high hygroscopicity absorbs urine well, so that the urine is well absorbed into the paper portion 4.

In the illustrated embodiment, the vinyl sheet 2 is pressed to the edge 3d' of the Japanese paper 3 at its right edge 11 (FIGS. 1 and 3).
Of course, it is also possible to construct the paper part 4 and the paper part 4 as separate parts that are not pressed together.

(f) Effect of the invention As is clear from the above, the paper diaper of the invention is able to absorb urine well into its paper portion, and is therefore free from side-to-side urine leakage that occurs with conventional disposable diapers. This has the advantage that bedsores and the like caused by this can be effectively prevented, and the size of the disposable diaper can be made smaller than conventional diapers.
