Definitions

  • the invention concerns a pant-type disposable absorbent hygiene article comprising a hip edge which forms a hip opening and is continuously closed in the peripheral direction, leg openings, wherein the hip edge, which is continuously closed in the peripheral direction, and the leg openings are formed by connecting the longitudinal side edge sections of a front part and a rear part during manufacture, an absorbent body, at least one elastic leg opening section, and cuff elements on both sides of the absorption core, which comprise an elastic cuff element section.
  • Conventional pant-type absorbent hygiene articles of this type mostly comprise a plurality of elastification means, often in the form of rubber-elastic threads which are connected in a pre-tensioned state to chassis material, usually by glue. A hip edge area is thereby usually and preferably continuously elastified in the peripheral direction.
  • Conventional diaper pants also have elastification means in the front area and rear area.
  • the peripheral areas that surround the leg openings or form the leg openings are also elastic, at least in sections, in order to ensure largely tight abutment of the hygiene article on the skin surface of the user in order to prevent body fluids from escaping towards the side.
  • Upright cuff elements which offer further lateral outlet protection in addition to the elastic leg openings, are also used in conventional diaper pants and are e.g. disclosed in EP-1 184 017 A1, EP 1 199 058 A1, EP 1 308 148 A2.
  • Abutment of elastified pretensioned areas on the skin surface in the area of the leg openings or the cuff elements often causes skin irritation due to friction or the action of force of mostly thread-shaped elastification means.
  • the area within the hygiene article is additionally moist due to body fluids or perspiration, this problem is even aggravated. It is even more aggravated by increasing activity, i.e. movement, of the user.
  • each cuff element comprises at least one non-elastic cuff element section and the elastic leg opening section crosses the respective non-elastic cuff element section after application to the body of the user, or b) the longitudinal extension of the respective cuff element is dimensioned such that after application to the body of the user, the elastic leg opening section does not cross the respective cuff element.
  • the thread- or band-shaped elastification means which are preferably used, gather or frill the materials connected thereto when being connected to these materials in the pretensioned state, they accumulate material in the relaxed state which may be unpleasant. In any case, gathered or frilled areas, i.e. elastified areas, rub greatly against the skin of the user, in particular, when the user moves, which can produce the above-mentioned skin irritation.
  • the probability that skin irritation occurs can be reduced by preventing a plurality of at least two elastic components from overlapping in an area which directly and tightly abuts the skin of the user.
  • a very short length of the cuff elements is disposed only in a central crotch area, such that after application of the article to the user, crossing, i.e. sectional overlapping of cuff element and elastic leg opening element is prevented.
  • each band has an elastic and a non-elastic cuff element section, and these sections are arranged such that the elastic leg opening sections cross the cuff elements in their non-elastic section.
  • the respective cuff element has at least two sections which are not elastified. These are closer to the respective hip edges than the elastic cuff element section and are arranged at that location where the elastic leg opening section and the cuff element overlap, i.e. cross, when the article has been applied to the user.
  • each cuff element is provided with several, i.e. at least two, elastic cuff element sections.
  • the elastic cuff element sections are spaced apart from each other by non-elastic cuff element sections.
  • the cuff elements can be arranged more flexibly and their length can be dimensioned more flexibly. If e.g. very long absorbent bodies are to be used, secure standing up of the cuff elements can be ensured only by a correspondingly long elastification section.
  • the non-elastified band sections can form areas between two elastified band sections, in which the elastic leg opening sections can cross the cuff elements after application of the article to the user.
  • the elastic cuff element sections and/or the elastic leg opening sections are conventionally preferably formed by non-woven or foil materials which are elastified, in particular, by thread or band-shaped elastification means such as rubber or polyether polyurethane or polyester polyurethane threads.
  • the elastification means are preferably fixed in the pretensioned state to the non-woven or foil materials (stretch bonding) such that the restoring force of the elastification means elastically gathers the corresponding sections after release of the pretension.
  • the non-elastic cuff element section(s) is/are obtained, in particular, in that no elastification means are provided at that location. This reduces material costs and prevents most reliably the problems of overlapping after application of the diaper, which can cause skin irritations as described above.
  • the non-elastic cuff element section(s) can also be obtained, in particular, in that the elastification means are relaxed in these sections.
  • the non-elastic cuff element section(s) can be obtained, in particular, in that the elastification means in these sections are not connected to the cuff elements, such that with the above-mentioned “stretch-bonding” and subsequent release of tension, the elastification means in these sections are disposed without tension and thereby exert no force on the cuff elements such that the cuff elements are not gathered in these sections.
  • the inventive hygiene article preferably has an outer covering that forms the diaper chassis, comprising a front part, a rear part and an intermediate crotch part that comprises the leg openings.
  • the outer covering is preferably formed from non-woven material and/or foil materials. In order to ensure air and/or water vapor circulation, only non-woven materials are preferably used.
  • the outer covering can be designed, in particular, in the form of a continuous material section which extends from a front hip edge to a rear hip edge.
  • the outer covering is formed from a front covering part and a rear covering part, as e.g. already taught in WO 2004 060238. In this case, the front covering part and the rear covering part are spaced apart from each other in the crotch area.
  • the absorption core of this embodiment is connected to a front area at the front covering part and to a rear area at the rear covering part, such that the front covering part and the rear covering part are only indirectly connected to each other via the absorption core, thereby forming the chassis.
  • the side of the absorption core remote from the body of the respective front or rear area may be connected to the side of the respective covering part close to the body.
  • the arrangement may be reversed, i.e. the side of the absorption core close to the body of the front or rear area can be connected to the side of the respective covering part remote from the body.
  • the absorption core may finally also be disposed with its front and/or rear areas like a sandwich between the layers, remote and close to the body, of the front and/or rear covering parts, which have several layers in this case, and be connected thereto.
  • the absorption core may be disposed as an integral component of the outer covering, in particular, between a covering layer close to the body and a covering layer remote from the body.
  • the side of the absorbent body remote from the body is disposed on the layer of the outer covering close to the body, and preferably fixed thereto, at least in sections, through adhesive, such as hot melt adhesive or other joining methods, such as thermal welding.
  • the absorption core comprises at least one storage core with materials absorbing body liquids, such as natural or synthetic fibers, in particular, cellulose fibers, preferably in the form of cellulose fluff.
  • the storage core also preferably comprises super-absorbent materials (SAP), in particular, on the basis of surface-linked, partially neutralized polyacrylates.
  • SAP super-absorbent materials
  • the absorbent body is preferably covered by a top sheet which is liquid-permeable at least in sections, and moreover preferably backed by a back sheet which is impermeable to liquids, at least in sections, during use.
  • the top sheet comprises, in particular, non-woven materials or foil materials having openings.
  • the back sheet comprises, in particular, a foil, in particular of a thickness of maximally 15 ⁇ m.
  • the back sheet can also advantageously contain or consist of non-woven materials, which are fluid-tight but permeable to water vapor during use, such as meltblown layers (M) and spunbond layers (S), in particular laminates of meltblown and spunbond layers, such as SM or SMS or SMMS laminates.
  • the back sheet comprises, in particular, a foil which is fluid tight during use but at the same time breathable, i.e. water vapor permeable, in particular microporous.
  • the water vapor permeability of the back sheet is, in particular, at least 300 g/m 2 /24 h, moreover, in particular, at least 1000 g/m 2 /24 h, in particular at least 2000 g/m 2 /24 h, moreover, in particular, at least 3000 g/m 2 /24 h, moreover, in particular, at least 4000 g/m 2 /24 h, moreover in particular at most 6000 g/m 2 /24 h, measured in accordance with DIN 53 122-1 (edition: 2001-08).
  • the cuff elements extend on both sides of the absorption core and are fixed, in particular, with their proximal edges on a respective longitudinal edge of the side of the absorption core close to the body, in particular the top sheet.
  • the proximal edges of the cuff elements are fixed on both sides outside of the absorption core, i.e. on the side of the outer covering close to the body.
  • the distal edges which stand up, at least in sections, towards the user, preferably have elastification means, in particular, thread- or band-shaped elastification means of the above-mentioned type.
  • the cuff elements comprise or consist of massively elastic material, such as an elastic foil or an elastic non-woven material.
  • the distal edge of the cuff elements is preferably inclined to the inside towards the longitudinal axis of the hygiene article. This is ensured, in particular, in that the distal edge of the cuff elements is fixed in one or both end sections towards the inside on the side of the absorption core facing the body, in particular to the top sheet.
  • the elastic effect of this section can be stopped simultaneously, wherein this fixed end section is to be regarded as coinciding with a non-elastified band section.
  • the leg openings of an inventive hygiene article have at least one elastic leg opening section.
  • An elastic leg opening section of each leg opening preferably extends in the flat state prior to connection of the longitudinal side edge sections by the producer, starting from a longitudinal side edge of the front part or rear part of the article in a curve along a periphery of the respective leg opening towards a crotch center line.
  • the curved arrangement of the elastic leg opening section specifically supports the anatomically designed adjustment of the hygiene article.
  • a second elastic leg opening section is preferably provided adjacent the first leg opening section.
  • the second leg opening section is preferably elastified by thread or band-shaped elastification means of the above-mentioned type, and extends in particular substantially parallel to the central longitudinal axis (L). This permits formation of the second leg opening section by elastification means which are connected on both sides to the absorption core.
  • the second elastic leg opening section can thus be elastified by the elastic longitudinal edges of the absorption core.
  • the second elastic leg opening section can be elastified by elastification means which are disposed on both sides outside of the absorption core, i.e. directly connected to the outer covering.
  • a further, third elastic leg opening section of each leg opening extends from a longitudinal side edge of the front part or rear part of the article on a curve along a periphery of a respective leg opening towards a center crotch line.
  • each leg opening comprises the above-described first, second and third elastified leg opening sections, such that the first and third leg opening sections have a considerable separation in the longitudinal direction of the hygiene article, in particular, a separation of at least 10 cm, in particular at least 15 cm, moreover in particular at least 18 cm, moreover in particular at most 30 cm.
  • the second elastic leg opening sections are disposed such that they bridge this separation at least in sections.
  • the end areas of the respective second elastic leg opening section are preferably spaced apart from the end areas of the respective first and/or third elastic leg opening sections, preferably by a length A, wherein the length A is preferably 10 mm, in particular at least 15 mm, moreover, in particular, at least 18 mm.
  • the mentioned sections are advantageously arranged and dimensioned in particular in that the longitudinal extension of the elastic cuff element section is at most 8 cm, in particular at most 6 cm, in particular at most 4 cm, in particular at most 2 cm larger than the longitudinal extension of the separation C between the first elastic leg opening section and the third elastic leg opening section.
  • the longitudinal extension of the elastic cuff element section is equal to or shorter than the longitudinal extension of the separation C between the first elastic leg opening section and the third elastic leg opening section by at least 1 cm, moreover by at least 2 cm, moreover by at most 4 cm.
  • elastification means are provided between the hip edge and the crotch area which extend substantially in a transverse direction, in order to improve the fit of the hygiene article in view of tight arrangement on the body.
  • An elastification means of this type in the area of the absorbent body can produce a desired contraction of the absorptive body in the crotch area.
  • elastification means are provided in the crotch area which extend substantially in a transverse direction. It may be desired that the absorbent body is narrow in the crotch area, but still provides sufficient absorptive capacity, i.e. absorbent material. By contraction, the surface density in this area can be increased in order to provide this area with a large absorption capacity. Moreover, the elastification means that extend transversely in the crotch area shape the hygiene article, thereby advantageously generating a shell shape in the crotch area.
  • the elastification means which extend(s) in the crotch area substantially in a transverse direction may be formed separately from those elastification means which elastify the leg openings.
  • the elastification means of the elastified leg opening section, in particular, the first and/or third elastified leg opening section advantageously merge into the elastification means of the crotch area, i.e. form the elastification means in the crotch area extending in the transverse direction in that they extend from their extension in the peripheral direction of the leg openings substantially in a transverse direction via a turning point. They can thereby branch off in a substantially continuous or also non-continuous curve, wherein a continuous curve is preferred.
  • the elastifying effect of these elastification means can be eliminated, in particular, in an area after passing the turning point, in particular by separating them.
  • the elastification means will then relax or rebound unless they are connected to the outer covering in this section.
  • Separation may also be effected e.g. by one single cut. It would, however, also be feasible and advantageous to separate the elastification means by a plurality of cuts, such that the previously continuously extending elastification means are divided into a plurality of small sections, in particular, of a length in the millimeter range, thereby losing their elastifying effect.
  • the elastification means may also be connected to the outer covering with glue, without thereby impeding the relaxation.
  • Single or multiple separation of the elastification means may also be effected using laser technology.
  • the elastic effect of the previously extending elastification means is eliminated by application of heat and/or pressure and/or ultrasound. The application of heat and/or pressure is advantageous compared to separating cuts, since it reduces the risk that the materials forming the outer covering are also erroneously cut or perforated.
  • EP 1 374 814 A1 discloses a technology of applying heat and/or pressure for deactivating elastification means, the entire disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference.

  • the readily configured hygiene article may in any case have a breaking line, in particular along these side seam areas, e.g. in the form of a tear strip in order to open the hygiene article starting from the applied state.
