Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. However, the scope of the invention is not limited to the illustrated examples.
Moreover, in this Embodiment, a pants-type disposable paper diaper (henceforth "paper diaper") is illustrated and demonstrated as an absorbent article.

(First embodiment)
First, the configuration will be described.
As shown in FIGS. 1 to 5, the disposable diaper 1 includes an absorbent main body 10 including an absorbent body 13 and an abdominal side portion F which is provided on the outer surface side of the absorbent main body 10 and is positioned on the stomach side of the human body when worn. And an exterior body 20 having a back side portion B located on the back side.
The disposable diaper 1 has a waist opening W and a pair of left and right legs by joining the belly side F and the back side B of the outer package 20 at the joint ends (21, 22) on both sides. An opening L is formed, and a crotch M is formed between the pair of left and right leg openings L.

As shown in FIG. 2, the disposable diaper 1 is formed by bonding the outer surface of the absorbent body 10 to the inner surface of the exterior body 20 on the body side when the disposable diaper is worn with an adhesive such as hot melt. The body 20 is integrated. Then, the abdominal side F and the back side B of the exterior body 20 are folded so that the crotch M of the exterior body 20 is folded together with the absorbent main body 10, and the joining end 21 and the joining end 22 are heated to the left and right. The paper diaper 1 shown in FIG. 1 is assembled by bonding by welding, hot-melt adhesive, ultrasonic waves, or the like.

As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the absorbent main body 10 has an absorbent material such as cotton or pulp between a liquid-permeable surface sheet 11 made of a nonwoven fabric and a waterproof sheet 12 made of polyethylene, It has a structure in which an absorbent body 13 formed by combining a sheet-like base material such as fiber or film and a highly water-absorbent resin is interposed, and absorbs and holds water-like components such as urine as body fluid It is.
The absorbent main body 10 is provided in a crotch part M formed so as to extend from the abdominal side F to the back side B of the exterior body 20 outward in the width direction from the absorbent main body 10. A pair of left and right three-dimensional gathers BS extending in the longitudinal direction are provided at both ends in the width direction of the absorbent main body 10.

The absorbent body 13 is formed, for example, so as to have a substantially hourglass shape in plan view, and the width dimension thereof is a size that does not give a feeling of gore when hitting the wearer's body.
The absorbent body 13 may be surrounded by crepe paper (not shown) in order to maintain the shape and improve the diffusibility of the body fluid that has passed through the liquid-permeable surface sheet 11.

As a raw material of the nonwoven fabric which forms the liquid-permeable surface sheet 11 which covers the surface side (skin contact surface side) of the absorber 13, you may use either a natural fiber or a synthetic fiber. Examples of natural fibers include cotton, cellulose (wood pulp), wool, silk and the like. In addition, examples of synthetic fibers include polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE), nylon, polyester (PET), acrylic, and the like, and PE / PP mixed nonwoven fabric, PE / PET mixed nonwoven fabric, and combinations of the above materials as appropriate. Bicomponent fibers (mixed fibers) can also be used.
In addition, as a method for producing a nonwoven fabric from these fibrous materials, a known method can be used as appropriate. For example, any method such as chemical bond, thermal bond, and spun lace may be used. Etc., any method such as a spunbond method, a melt blow method, or a combination of these and the above-described adhesion method may be used.
Of these processing methods, the nonwoven fabric by the spunlace method is excellent in terms of richness in flexibility and drape, and the nonwoven fabric by the thermal bond method is excellent in terms of being bulky and soft.
Moreover, when many through-holes are formed in the liquid-permeable surface sheet 11, urine etc. will be absorbed rapidly and it will be excellent in dry touch property.

The waterproof sheet 12 covering the back surface side (non-skin contact surface side) of the absorbent body 13 has a water shielding property and functions to prevent the water-like component that has passed through the absorbent body 13 from leaking to the exterior body 20 side. For example, a liquid-impermeable plastic sheet such as polyethylene or polypropylene is used. Further, those having moisture permeability are preferably used from the viewpoint of preventing stuffiness. This water-impervious / breathable sheet is, for example, a microporous sheet obtained by forming a sheet by melting and kneading an inorganic filler in an olefin resin such as polyethylene or polypropylene, and then stretching in a uniaxial or biaxial direction. It is. In the case of a microporous sheet, if the sheet thickness is the same, the rigidity is lower than that of the non-porous sheet, so that it is superior in terms of flexibility.
As such a waterproof sheet 12, it is preferable to use an opaque sheet so that brown such as defecation and urine is difficult to visually recognize. For making the waterproof sheet 12 opaque, a film formed by adding pigments and fillers such as calcium carbonate, titanium oxide, zinc oxide, white carbon, clay, talc, and barium sulfate in an olefin resin or plastic is suitable. Used for.

The three-dimensional gather BS folds the liquid-impervious gathered nonwoven fabric 15 in half and sandwiches the side edge of the waterproof sheet 12 at its base end, and the folded surface is, for example, hot melt, heat seal, It is formed by fixing with an ultrasonic seal or the like. The side edge portion of the liquid-permeable surface sheet 11 is bonded to the upper surface side of the base end portion of the gathered nonwoven fabric 15 that is doubled by folding.
Moreover, the gathering nonwoven fabric 15 becomes a free end part (standing end part) which forms solid gather BS in the longitudinal direction intermediate part of the absorptive main body 10, and the absorptive main body 10 in the longitudinal direction front-back end part. It is a fixed part that is folded inwardly on the upper surface side of the glass and bonded with a hot melt adhesive or the like.

In addition, a plurality of thread-like elastic elastic members 16... The thread-like elastic stretch members 16... Are for raising the gathered nonwoven fabric 15 by an elastic stretch force to form a three-dimensional gather BS.
As the thread-like elastic elastic member 16, materials such as styrene rubber, olefin rubber, urethane rubber, ester rubber, polyurethane, polyethylene, polystyrene, styrene butadiene, silicon, polyester and the like can be used. This thread-like elastic stretchable member 16 is preferably arranged with a thickness of 300 to 1200 dtex and a tension of 150 to 350%. Instead of the thread-like elastic elastic member, a tape-like elastic elastic member having a certain width may be used.

In addition, the material fibers constituting the gathered nonwoven fabric 15 are made of the same material as the nonwoven fabric forming the liquid-permeable surface sheet 11 described above, and the manufacturing methods of these nonwoven fabrics are almost the same. In order to prevent this, it is preferable to use a non-woven fabric that has a low weight and excellent air permeability. Furthermore, with respect to the gathered nonwoven fabric 15, in order to prevent the transmission of urine and the like, to prevent fogging, and to improve the feel to the skin (dry feeling), silicon-based, paraffin metal-based, alkylchromic chromoid water-repellent You may use the water-repellent treatment nonwoven fabric which coated etc.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 5, the exterior body 20 includes an outer layer sheet 20 </ b> A that forms the exterior body 20. The outer layer sheet 20A is configured by adhering two nonwoven fabrics of an upper layer nonwoven fabric 20a and a lower layer nonwoven fabric 20b, and various thread-like elastic members described later are disposed between the upper layer nonwoven fabric 20a and the lower layer nonwoven fabric 20b. Thus, elasticity is imparted.
Further, on the inner side (skin contact surface side) of the outer layer sheet 20A, the

waistline sheets

20B and 20B are provided on the upper surface of the upper non-woven fabric 20a in the abdominal side part F and the back side part B, thereby realizing a good wearing feeling. It is supposed to be.
The exterior body 20 is formed with a concave leg circumference cut line 23 for providing leg circumference openings L on both sides of the middle, and a crotch part M covering the crotch circumference of the wearer of the disposable diaper 1 and a crotch part M Of the crotch M and the back side B which covers the wearer's back, and the planar shape thereof is located on the front end side of the crotch M. As a whole, it has a pseudo hourglass shape.
In addition, the joint end part 21 for joining with the back side part B is formed in the width direction both ends of the ventral part F, and the ventral part F and the width direction both ends of the back side part B are formed. A joining end 22 for joining is formed.
The joint end portion 21 and the joint end portion 22 are respectively arranged on the ventral side F and the back side B from the opening end side of the waist opening W to the leg opening L having the leg cut line 23. It has a width in the direction.

The exterior body 20 includes a plurality of waist elastic members 24 arranged on the opening end side (upper side) of the waist opening W in each of the ventral side F and the back side B, and the ventral side. A plurality of waist elastic members arranged to extend in the direction along the waist from one

joint end

21, 22 to the other

joint end

21, 22 in each of F and the back side B 25 and the ventral side F and the dorsal side B, respectively, extend from the joint ends 21 and 22 to the crotch M side along the leg cut line 23 (edge) of the leg opening L. In the two regions (H1, H2) of the crotch part M, a plurality of leg-holes elastic members 26... Arranged in this way, from the end of one leg-hole opening L to the other leg-hole opening L Are disposed substantially parallel to each other at a predetermined interval in the longitudinal direction of the disposable diaper 1 And a, a crotch elastic member 27, ... number.

As these thread-like elastic members (waist elastic member 24, waist elastic member 25, leg elastic member 26, crotch elastic member 27), styrene rubber, olefin rubber, urethane rubber, ester rubber, polyurethane Materials such as polyethylene, polystyrene, styrene butadiene, silicon, and polyester can be used. These thread-like elastic members preferably have a thickness of 620 dtex or less. Instead of the thread-like elastic elastic member, a tape-like elastic elastic member having a certain width may be used.

The waist elastic member 24 has a vertical direction in the vicinity of the waist opening W in the range of the vertical width of the joint end 21 and the joint end 22 where the ventral side F and the back side B are joined. A plurality of thread rubber-like elastic members arranged at intervals, and for applying an elastic force so as to tighten around the waist of the body, and for attaching the paper diaper 1 to the body.

The waist elastic member 25 has a plurality of strips arranged substantially parallel to each other at a predetermined interval in the vertical direction on the crotch M side from the waist elastic member 24 in each of the abdominal side F and the back side B. This elastic elastic member is made of a rubber thread, and gives an elastic force so as to tighten the waist portions of the ventral side F and the back side B.
The plurality of waist elastic members 25... Are arranged on the exterior body 20 over a predetermined width and range so that the entire surface of the abdominal side F and the back side B is brought into close contact with the body. It has become.
Note that the boundary between the waist elastic member 25 and the waist elastic member 24 is not necessarily clear. For example, among the plurality of elastic members disposed substantially parallel to each other in the vertical direction on the ventral side F and the back side B, several upper elastic members function as waist elastic members. The remaining lower elastic member may function as a waist elastic member.

The leg-surrounding elastic member 26 is a plurality of elastic rubber-like elastic members that are disposed separately from the waist-surrounding elastic member 25 in the abdominal side F and the back side B. In the present embodiment, five are provided on each of the ventral side F and the back side B.
The plurality of leg-around elastic members 26... Are arranged on the exterior body 20 over a predetermined width and range, thereby bringing the leg-around portions of the exterior body 20 into close contact with the body.
Specifically, the leg elastic member 26 extends from the

joint end portions

21, 22 of the abdominal side F and the back side B to the crotch M side so as to substantially follow the leg cut line 23. It is arranged so as to bypass the part M and to reach the other

joint end parts

21 and 22 substantially along the leg-side cut line 23 on the other side.
Note that the leg elastic member 26 is a substantially triangular region T of the outer body 20 surrounded by the leg cut line 23, which is the edge of the outer body 20, the absorbent main body 10, and the waist elastic member 25. It is preferably formed so as to cover almost the whole.
Moreover, it is preferable to provide four or more leg periphery elastic members 26, and it is preferable that the space | interval is 15 mm or less.

In addition, when the leg elastic member 26 detours at the crotch part M, it is preferable that the direction of the leg elastic member 26 is changed so as to be curved into an arcuate curved shape. Since the elastic member exerts a stretching force in the tangential direction, the force acting in the width direction of the absorbent main body 10 is obtained by inverting the leg elastic member 26 and the leg elastic member 27 in an arcuate curved shape in the crotch M. It can be minimized, and the shrinkage of the absorbent main body 10 in the crotch part M can be reduced.

The crotch elastic member 27 is disposed in the crotch part M so as to be substantially parallel to the waist elastic member 25 from the end of one leg opening L to the end of the other leg opening L. A plurality of elastic rubber elastic elastic members.
The plurality of crotch elastic members 27 are arranged at predetermined intervals in the predetermined region (H1, H2) in the crotch M so that the crotch M is stretched in the width direction. The leg periphery opening part L vicinity of the crotch part M is closely_contact | adhered by a body.
In the present embodiment, four crotch elastic members 27 are arranged in a region H1 from the abdominal side F in the crotch part M and a region H2 from the back side B with a spacing of 15 mm from each other. ing.

Next, the operation will be described.
In the disposable diaper 1 according to the present embodiment, the waist circumference portions of the abdominal side F and the back side B are tightened by the elastic force of the waist elastic member 25 of the exterior body 20, so that the waist circumference of the exterior body 20 is in close contact with the body. .
Further, since the substantially triangular region T in the exterior body 20 is covered and contracted by the leg-surrounding elastic member 26, the exterior body 20 expands and contracts in accordance with the shape of the body such as irregularities and bulges, and the body urination port The absorptive main body 10 and the exterior body 20 are suitably adhered to the periphery and the buttock.
In addition, since the crotch elastic member 27 is disposed in the crotch part M of the exterior body 20, the vicinity of the leg opening L in the crotch part M expands and contracts in accordance with the movement of the body, and the legs around the exterior body 20 and the human body. The fit between the legs is maintained.

As described above, according to the disposable diaper 1 of the present embodiment, the two regions H1 and H2 of the crotch part M extend from the end of one leg opening L to the end of the other leg opening L. Since the plurality of crotch elastic members 27 disposed substantially in parallel with each other at a predetermined interval in the longitudinal direction of the paper diaper 1 are provided, even when the wearer moves, the leg periphery opening of the crotch M The vicinity of L is pressed by the expansion / contraction force of the crotch elastic member 27, so that it is difficult to form a gap around the legs.
Therefore, the fit around the legs of the exterior body 20 can be maintained regardless of the movement at the time of wearing.
For this reason, leakage of body fluid such as urine can be more reliably prevented.

In addition, since the vicinity of the leg opening L of the exterior body 20 fits around the leg by the crotch elastic member 27, the opening edge of the leg opening L is difficult to enter inside during wearing, and the feeling of wear is improved.

In addition, in the said embodiment, although the space | interval of the crotch elastic member 27 was demonstrated as 15 mm, the arrangement | positioning space | interval of the crotch elastic member 27 can be set suitably. For example, when the width of the crotch elastic member 27 is increased to 15 mm or more, the range (interval) in which the crotch elastic member 27 overlaps with the leg elastic member 26 is widened, so that local pressure is less likely to be applied to the leg periphery, and skin troubles are prevented from occurring. be able to.

In the above embodiment, the configuration in which the crotch elastic member 27 is provided in the two areas H1 and H2 has been described as an example. However, the crotch elastic member 27 may be provided in at least a part of the crotch part M. For example, it may be provided only in one of the regions H1 and H2.

(Second Embodiment)
Hereinafter, the paper diaper of 2nd Embodiment is demonstrated.
Note that the configuration of the disposable diaper 2 of the second embodiment is the same as that of the first embodiment except for the crotch elastic member 28 described below, and a description thereof will be omitted.

As shown in FIG. 6, the crotch elastic member 28 is arrange | positioned by the area | regions H1 and H2 in the paper diaper 2 of this embodiment. The crotch elastic member 28 is provided with a cutting portion S in a range that overlaps the absorbent main body 10 so that no elastic force is exerted on the absorbent main body 10.
In addition, the range which overlaps with the absorptive main body 10 is a range located inside the three-dimensional gather BS provided at both ends in the width direction of the disposable diaper 2.

As described above, according to the disposable diaper 2 of the present embodiment, the crotch elastic member 28 does not exhibit a stretching force on the absorbent main body 10, so that the absorbent main body 10 (the absorbent body 13) can be prevented from being contracted.
Moreover, since the expansion / contraction force appears outside the three-dimensional gather BS, the three-dimensional gather BS can be easily erected.

In addition, this paper diaper 2 is, for example, pressed by an embossing cutter roll by passing the outer packaging body 20 between an embossing cutter roll and an anvil cutter roll after bonding various elastic members to the outer packaging body 20. It can be manufactured by finely cutting the crotch elastic member 28 existing on the inner side of the three-dimensional gather BS of the absorbent body 13 by heating.

(Third embodiment)
Hereinafter, the paper diaper of 3rd Embodiment is demonstrated.
Note that the configuration of the disposable diaper 3 of the third embodiment is the same as that of the first embodiment except for the crotch elastic member 29 described below, and the description thereof is omitted.

As shown in FIG. 7, in the disposable diaper 3 of the present embodiment, the crotch elastic member 29 is disposed at a predetermined interval over the entire region except the crotch portion K of the crotch portion M. The crotch elastic member 29 is provided with a cutting portion S in a range overlapping with the absorbent main body 10 so that no elastic force is exerted on the absorbent main body 10.
That is, the stretching force is applied to the leg opening L over the entire region except the crotch portion K of the crotch M, while the stretching force is not expressed on the absorbent main body 10.
The reason why the crotch elastic member 29 is not disposed in the crotch portion K is that the crotch portion K is less likely to have a substantial effect because there is little movement linked to the movement of the body. Needless to say, the crotch elastic member 29 may be disposed on the crotch.
Further, when the crotch elastic member 29 is not provided in the crotch portion K, the cost can be reduced as compared with the case where the crotch elastic member 29 is not provided.

As described above, according to the paper diaper 3 of the present embodiment, the fit around the legs of the outer package 20 can be further improved, and the absorbent main body 10 (absorber 13) can be prevented from being contracted.
In addition, while maintaining the fit around the legs of the exterior body 20, the surroundings of the body urination and the buttocks are not compressed more than necessary, so that the feeling of wearing is also good.
Further, since the crotch elastic member 29 is provided over the entire area except the crotch part K of the crotch part M, the crotch elastic member 29 and the leg elastic member 26 completely cover the entire substantially triangular area T. Thus, it is possible to prevent a pocket-like space that hinders wearing from being formed inside the paper diaper 1.

In addition, the present invention is not limited to the above configuration, and can be modified as appropriate.
For example, in the second and third embodiments, the crotch elastic member is cut in a range that overlaps the absorbent main body 10, but the crotch elastic member is not disposed in a range that overlaps the absorbent main body 10. It is good also as a structure provided only in the range located outside from the solid gather BS.
In addition, the inseam elastic member in the range located outside from the three-dimensional gather BS is made thicker than the inseam elastic member in the range located inside from the three-dimensional gather BS so as to increase the expansion and contraction force of the leg opening L. It's also good.
Moreover, the absorptive main body 10 does not necessarily need to extend to the abdominal part F and the back part B, and should just be provided in the crotch part M at least.

The present invention can be used in the manufacturing industry of absorbent articles.
