Definitions

  • the invention concerns a pants-type disposable absorbent hygiene article with a hip edge which is continuously closed in the peripheral direction and forms a hip opening, and with leg openings, wherein the hip edge which is continuously closed in the peripheral direction and the leg openings are formed by connecting longitudinal side edge sections of a front part and rear part to each other at the manufacturing plant, and having an absorbent body and elasticising means at least in the area of the leg openings.
  • Conventional pants-type absorbent hygiene articles of this type usually comprise a plurality of elasticising means, often in the form of rubber-elastic threads which are mostly glued to chassis materials in the pretensioned state. A hip edge area is thereby usually preferably continuously elasticised in the peripheral direction.
  • Conventional pants-type diapers also have elasticising means in the front and rear areas. The peripheral areas forming or surrounding the leg openings are also continuously elasticised to ensure tight fit of the hygiene article on the skin surface of the user in order to prevent lateral escape of body excretions.
  • Abutment of pretensioned, elasticised areas on the skin surface especially in the area of the leg openings can cause skin irritations due to friction or force exerted by the mostly thread-shaped elasticising means. This problem is aggravated by the presence of additional moisture within the hygiene article due to body liquids or perspiration and is aggravated by increasing activity, i.e. movement of the user.
  • a hygiene article of this type in that a first elasticising peripheral section, adjacent thereto, a second non-elasticising peripheral section, adjacent thereto, a third elasticising peripheral section, and adjacent thereto, a fourth non-elasticising peripheral section are provided in the flat state before connecting the longitudinal side edge sections at the manufacturing plant, extending from a longitudinal side edge of the front part or rear part of the article along the periphery of a respective leg opening towards a center crotch line.
  • leg openings which are continuously elasticised in the peripheral direction no longer appear to be absolutely necessary.
  • the elasticising means gather or frill the material to which they are connected in the pretensioned state, they accumulate material in the relaxed state which may be uncomfortable e.g. during sitting. In any event, gathered or frilled areas, i.e.
  • the wearing comfort is improved in that a second non-elasticised peripheral section is disposed between the first peripheral section facing the hip area and the third peripheral section disposed between the legs of the user, and a further non-elasticised fourth peripheral section is provided in the area of a center crotch line.
  • the respective material sections of the second and fourth peripheral section of the hygiene article abut the skin surface of the user with slight pretension.
  • the second peripheral section Since the second peripheral section is not subjected to permanently changing gathering or frilling, it does not rub on the surface of the skin. Moreover, air exchange with the inside of the hygiene article is possible, which considerably improves the microclimate in the areas of the skin surface covered by the hygiene article.
  • elasticising means extending substantially in one transverse direction are provided in the crotch area of the hygiene article.
  • Such an elasticising means in the area of the absorption body can produce a desired contracting motion of the suction body in the crotch area.
  • the absorption body is advantageously narrow in the crotch area while still providing sufficient absorbing capacity, i.e. absorbent material.
  • the surface density in this area may be increased through contraction in order to provide a large absorption capacity in this area.
  • elasticising means extending in a transverse direction in the crotch area provide the hygiene article with its shape.
  • the crotch area is advantageously cup-shaped.
  • the elasticising means extending substantially in the transverse direction in the crotch area or the elasticising means may be formed separately from those elasticising means which elasticise the leg openings.
  • the elasticising means of the third peripheral section advantageously merge into the elasticising means of the crotch area, i.e. form the elasticising means extending in a transverse direction in the crotch area, in that they merge from their extension in the peripheral direction of the leg openings substantially in the transverse direction. They may thereby branch off in a substantially steady or unsteady curve progression, wherein a steady progression is preferred.
  • the fourth non-elasticised peripheral section may be formed by elasticising means extending from the third peripheral section along a curve to the left, and then traversing the crotch area in a transverse direction.
  • the fourth, non-elasticised peripheral section advantageously covers the center crotch line.
  • the center crotch line extends through the minimum width of the crotch area of the hygiene article. When the minimum cannot be uniquely determined, the center crotch line extends through the center of the crotch area of the hygiene article.
  • the center of the crotch area of a hygiene article can be determined by disposing an elastic thread or rubber band in the shape of a figure eight about the legs of a user standing upright or a user lying prostrate on a flat support, such that the thread or band crosses at one point between the legs. This crossing point is defined as the center of the crotch area of the hygiene article during proper use.
  • the respective non-elasticised second and/or fourth peripheral sections may just not be provided with elasticising means.
  • the elasticising means initially continuously extend in the peripheral direction of the leg openings during production of the inventive hygiene article, and the non-elasticised second and/or fourth peripheral section is/are obtained by cutting through the previously extended elasticising means.
  • the elasticising means will then relax or retract unless they are connected, e.g. glued to chassis-forming materials in the second and/or fourth peripheral section.
  • This connection of the elasticising means should then be limited to the first and third peripheral section which is supposed to be elasticised, so that the cut elasticising means in the second peripheral section can relax, thereby losing their elasticising effect on the second peripheral section.
  • the elasticising means in the second and/or fourth peripheral section can be separated with one single cut.
  • the elasticising means may also be connected, e.g. glued, to chassis materials in the second and/or fourth peripheral section without impairing relaxation.
  • the elasticising means may be easily cut once or several times using laser technology.
  • the non-elasticised second and/or fourth peripheral section is obtained in that the previously extending elasticising means loose their elasticising effect through application of heat and/or pressure and/or laser. This may be achieved, in particular, through irradiation with ultrasound. It is thereby possible to deactivate a previously extending pretensioned elasticising means by deforming it, in particular, through punctiform or matrix-like application of pressure and/or temperature, in particular, ultrasound, and, in particular, cutting it such that at least its elasticising effect on the respective peripheral section is eliminated.
  • chassis materials of non-woven materials or non-woven laminates may advantageously be used.
  • Non-woven laminates with breathable or even liquid-permeable sheets are also feasible.
  • the above-mentioned functional units used as an absorption body may also comprise integrated topsheet layers, and advantageously upright elasticising collar elements (so-called “cuffs”) which form a lateral outlet barrier.
  • Such collar elements may also be provided outside of the absorption body or the functional unit used as the absorption body.
  • a track is advantageously provided which is continuous in the transverse direction for applying heat and/or pressure and also covers the second and/or fourth peripheral section of the respective leg opening.
  • This track which continuously extends in the transverse direction, may advantageously be produced through continuous, i.e. non-interrupted processing in the machine direction of the materials forming the hygiene article. This is advantageous with regard to production.
  • EP 1 374 814 A1 discloses a technology of applying heat and/or pressure for deactivating elasticising means, the entire disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference.
  • the first elasticising peripheral section extends in the peripheral direction of the leg openings (best viewed in the “flat state” of the sheet materials forming the hygiene article) by 3 to 15 cm, in particular 4 to 15 cm, in particular 5 to 15 cm, and moreover preferentially 5 to 13 cm.
  • the “flat state” thereby means that the hygiene article is disposed or projected onto a support such that its chassis materials are no longer gathered by the elasticising means.
  • the hygiene article being readily configured and applied to a user, extends from the side from the apex, facing the hip, of the respective leg opening in the clockwise direction or in an anticlockwise direction.
  • the second non-elasticised peripheral section advantageously extends in the peripheral direction in the flat state by 1 to 10 cm, in particular 2 to 8 cm and preferentially 3 to 8 cm.
  • the third, likewise elasticised peripheral section advantageously extends in the peripheral direction in the flat state by 1 to 8 cm, in particular 1 to 7 cm, and preferentially 1 to 5 cm.
  • the fourth non-elasticised peripheral section advantageously extends in the peripheral direction in the flat state by 1 to 7 cm, in particular 1 to 5 cm, and preferentially 1 to 4 cm.
  • FIG. 1 shows a top view of a first embodiment of an inventive hygiene article in the flat state prior to being connected at the longitudinal side edge areas at the manufacturing plant;
  • FIG. 2 shows a view of a further embodiment of an inventive hygiene article which corresponds to FIG. 1 .
  • FIG. 1 shows a hygiene article, designated in total with reference numeral 2 , in the form of a pants-type diaper (“pants”) in the flat state before being connected at the longitudinal side edge sections at the manufacturing plant.
  • the hygiene article comprises a rear part 4 , a front part 6 , and an intermediate crotch part 10 delimiting the future leg openings 8 .
  • the rear part 4 is delimited by longitudinal side edges 12
  • the front part 6 is delimited by longitudinal side edges 14 .
  • These are connected to each other in the area of the hatched zones 16 and 18 to form the pants shape, i.e. through hot sealing or other conventional joining methods. In this fashion, two side seam areas of the hygiene article are formed which cannot be released without causing damage.
  • the readily configured hygiene article may have a breaking line, e.g. in the form of a release thread, in particular, along these side seam areas so that the hygiene article can be opened in the applied state. Additionally, any closing elements, i.e. adhesive or mechanically connecting closure shackles may be provided so that the hygiene article can be closed again after opening, like a diaper.
  • the hygiene article is produced by the manufacturer in the form of pants having a hip edge 20 which is closed in the peripheral direction and forms a hip opening which is limited on all sides. It is therefore a pants and not a diaper, which can be opened and closed.
  • the hygiene article 2 also comprises an absorbent body 22 which may also be designed as a functional unit, i.e. may have a liquid absorbing structure with a liquid-impermeable backsheet and optionally further components such as e.g. a topsheet and elasticised collar elements, and be disposed as a functional unit onto chassis-forming materials 24 of the hygiene article 2 .
  • chassis-forming materials 24 may e.g. be any backsheet materials or composite materials.
  • Non-woven materials or non-woven laminates and also non-woven sheet laminates are advantageously used which have a textile-like surface and are preferably also breathable, at least in some areas.
  • the chassis-forming materials 24 may also comprise a topsheet layer facing the body which covers the absorption body 22 and may extend in a transverse direction 26 and/or in a longitudinal direction 28 of the hygiene article 2 up to the edges thereof.
  • FIG. 1 also shows elasticising means 30 which continuously extend in the transverse direction 26 and continuously elasticise a hip edge area 32 of the hygiene article 2 .
  • Elasticising means 36 are moreover indicated by dashed lines in the rear part 4 and in the front part 6 at a separation 34 of 5 to 15 mm from each other, which elasticise only regions of the rear part 4 and front part 6 and provide good fit for the hygiene article 2 .
  • Elasticising means 38 are moreover shown which elasticise sections of the leg openings 8 as described below:
  • the elasticising means 38 extend from the longitudinal side edge 12 of the rear part 4 along a periphery 40 of the respective leg opening 8 in the direction towards a center crotch line 42 .
  • the elasticising effect of the elasticising means 38 is not continuous to the center crotch line 42 but is limited from the longitudinal side edge 12 to a first peripheral section 44 of the leg openings 8 .
  • a second non-elasticised peripheral section 46 of the leg openings is adjacent thereto, to which an elasticised third peripheral section 48 is adjacent.
  • This third peripheral section 49 is joined by a fourth non-elasticised peripheral section which extends over the center crotch line 42 .
  • the periphery 40 of the leg openings 8 is therefore not continuously elasticised.
  • chassis materials 24 in these second and fourth peripheral sections 46 and 49 are not disposed against the skin surface of the user by elastically pretensioning the mostly thread-shaped elasticising means 38 , rather softly abut the skin surface. This improves the breathability, i.e. improves ventilation of the areas outside of the absorption body 22 , as is indicated by arrow 50 .
  • the chassis materials 24 are not gathered or frilled in the second and fourth peripheral sections 46 and 49 which increases the skin friendliness, since skin irritation is reduced.
  • the second peripheral section 46 of FIG. 1 does not have any elasticising means 38 .
  • the elasticising means 38 must be merely cut in the second peripheral section 46 , and retract due to their pretension, to their fixture in the first and third peripheral sections 44 , 48 , such that the second peripheral section 46 is no longer elasticised.
  • the fourth peripheral section 49 is thereby not elasticised, such that the elasticising means 38 extend from their extension in the third peripheral section 46 along a curve to the inside in the transverse direction 26 .
  • the fourth peripheral section 49 is thereby formed between the respective third peripheral section 46 of the rear part 4 and the front part 6 .
  • the elasticising means 38 in the second peripheral section 46 of the front part 6 are shown with dotted lines on the left hand side of FIG. 1 .
  • the elasticising means 38 previously continuously extending from a longitudinal side edge to the center crotch line 42 have lost their elasticising effect in the second peripheral section 46 through application of heat and/or pressure.
  • the elasticising means 38 may be deactivated or relaxed through application of heat and/or pressure, i.e. through ultrasound welding methods or through a matrix of heating which results in melting. They are thereby substantially destroyed and can no longer elasticise the second peripheral section 46 .
  • elasticisation extending in the transverse direction 26 is provided in the area of the center crotch line 42 .
  • This is advantageously achieved, as mentioned above, in that the above-mentioned elasticising means 38 “bend” inwards from their extension in the peripheral direction in the third peripheral section 48 , i.e. are deflected in the transverse direction 26 , and traverse the crotch area 10 in the transverse direction 26 below the absorption body 22 , i.e. between the absorption body 22 and the chassis materials 24 , to then further extend steadily and continuously into the periphery of the opposite leg opening 8 .
  • This guidance of the elasticising means 38 starting from the third peripheral section 46 is separately claimed and is regarded as an independent invention, i.e.
  • collar elements 52 provided on both sides of the absorption body 22 , which are elasticised and therefore upright, and which form a lateral barrier for leaking body excretions and also retain liquid body excretions in the area above the absorption body 42 until they have been absorbed by the absorption body 22 .
  • FIG. 2 shows a further embodiment, wherein the elasticising means 38 ′ traverse the crotch area but are subsequently deactivated in a conventional fashion, i.e. they are cut or rendered non-elasticising in a different fashion, in particular through application of heat and/or pressure as mentioned above.
