The present invention is a pant-type disposable diaper having mutually orthogonal vertical direction, transverse direction and front-to-back direction and having an abdominal section, a back section, a waist-encircling opening and a pair of leg-encircling openings. The abdominal section and the back section are stretchable in the transverse direction. The abdominal section and the back section overlap each other in the front-to-back direction. At the respective edges in the transverse direction, the abdominal section and the back section are connected. The upper edge of the abdominal section that forms the waist-encircling opening and/or the upper edge of the back section that forms the waist-encircling opening has a single downward-extending cut section located to the inside of the respective edges in the transverse direction. When viewing the diaper in the front-to-back direction, the entire lengths of both the upper edge of the abdominal section and the upper edge of the back section are located below or on an imaginary line drawn between the upper ends of the respective edges in the transverse direction.

Description

パンツ型使い捨ておむつPants-type disposable diaper
 本発明は、パンツ型使い捨ておむつに関する。 The present invention relates to a pants-type disposable diaper.
 従来、パンツ型使い捨ておむつ1’が使用されている。このおむつ1’は、図1に示すように、互いに直交する上下方向と横方向と前後方向とを有する。また、同おむつ1’は、着用者の前側に位置する腹側部30’と、着用者の後側に位置する背側部40’と、着用者の股下に位置する股下部20’とを有する。そして、横方向の各端部1ew’,1ew’において腹側部30’と背側部40’とは連続していて、これにより、上方に胴回り開口BH’が形成されている。また、下方では、腹側部30’と背側部40’とが、股下部20’を介して連続していて、これにより、股下部20’の横方向の両側には、一対の脚回り開口LH’,LH’が形成されている。更に、腹側部30’と背側部40’とには、糸ゴム等の弾性部材35’,45’によって横方向の伸縮性が付与されている。 Conventionally, a pants-type disposable diaper 1 'has been used. As shown in FIG. 1, the diaper 1 'has a vertical direction, a horizontal direction, and a front-rear direction that are orthogonal to each other. Further, the diaper 1 ′ includes an abdominal side portion 30 ′ located on the front side of the wearer, a back side portion 40 ′ located on the rear side of the wearer, and a crotch portion 20 ′ located on the inseam of the wearer. Have. In each lateral end 1ew ', 1ew', the ventral side 30 'and the back side 40' are continuous, thereby forming a waistline opening BH 'on the upper side. In the lower part, the abdominal part 30 ′ and the dorsal part 40 ′ are continuous via the crotch part 20 ′, whereby a pair of legs are provided on both sides in the lateral direction of the crotch part 20 ′. Openings LH ′ and LH ′ are formed. Further, the abdominal side portion 30 ′ and the back side portion 40 ′ are given lateral stretchability by elastic members 35 ′ and 45 ′ such as rubber thread.
 ここで、特許文献1には、かかるパンツ型使い捨ておむつ1’の一例として、同図1に示すように、背側部40’の上縁部40BH’が、横方向の上記各端部1ew’,1ew’ における上端よりも上方に突出したおむつ1’が開示されている。すなわち、横方向の上記各端部1ew’,1ew’における上端よりも上方に突出している突出部分40up’を背側部40’は有している。そして、この突出部分40up’にも、弾性部材45up’が設けられていて、これにより、横方向の伸縮性が付与されている。 Here, in Patent Document 1, as an example of such a pants-type disposable diaper 1 ′, as shown in FIG. 1, the upper edge portion 40 BH ′ of the back side portion 40 ′ has the lateral end portions 1 ew ′. , 1ew 'diaper 1' protruding above the upper end is disclosed. That is, the back side portion 40 'has a protruding portion 40up' protruding upward from the upper end of each of the end portions 1ew 'and 1ew' in the lateral direction. The protruding portion 40up 'is also provided with an elastic member 45up', thereby imparting lateral stretchability.
 一方、着用者におむつ1’を履かせるときには、横方向の上記各端部1ew’,1ew’に手をかける等して、かかる手で同おむつ1’に対して横方向の両側に引っ張り力を付与し、これにより、胴回り開口BH’を横方向に広げた状態にする。 On the other hand, when putting the diaper 1 'on the wearer, pulling the lateral ends of the diaper 1' with both hands, such as by placing a hand on the end portions 1ew 'and 1ew' in the lateral direction. Thus, the waist opening BH ′ is expanded laterally.

 しかしながら、特許文献1のおむつ1’では、横方向の上記各端部1ew’,1ew’に付与された横方向の引っ張り力が、上述のおむつ1’の突出部分40up’に伝達し難いことから、当該突出部分40up’を横方向に伸ばし難く、その結果、総じておむつ1’の胴回り開口BH’を広げ難いという問題が想定される。 However, in the diaper 1 ′ of Patent Document 1, the lateral tensile force applied to the end portions 1ew ′ and 1ew ′ in the lateral direction is difficult to be transmitted to the protruding portion 40up ′ of the diaper 1 ′. The projecting portion 40up ′ is difficult to extend in the lateral direction, and as a result, there is a problem that it is difficult to expand the waist opening BH ′ of the diaper 1 ′.
 本発明は、上記のような従来の問題に鑑みてなされたものであって、その目的は、パンツ型使い捨ておむつの胴回り開口を横方向に広げ易くして当該おむつを履かせ易くすることにある。 The present invention has been made in view of the above-described conventional problems, and an object of the present invention is to easily widen the waist opening of the pants-type disposable diaper in the lateral direction so that the diaper can be easily worn. .

Therefore, when the diaper is expanded in the lateral direction, the cut portion opens in the lateral direction, so that the waistline opening can be further expanded by the amount of the opening, and as a result, the diaper can be more easily worn.
 更に、カット部は、上記の上縁部に対して一つだけ設けられている。よって、上縁部に二つ以上のカット部が設けられた場合に起こり得る不具合、すなわち、上縁部のうちのカット部同士の間の部分に引っ張り力が伝達し難くなるという不具合を防ぐことができる。そして、これにより、横方向の各端部に付与される引っ張り力を、上縁部の横方向の略全長に亘って速やかに伝達することができて、その結果、胴回り開口をより円滑に広げることができる。 Furthermore, only one cut part is provided for the upper edge part. Therefore, the trouble which may occur when two or more cut parts are provided on the upper edge part, that is, the trouble that the tensile force is difficult to be transmitted to the part between the cut parts of the upper edge part is prevented. Can do. And thereby, the tensile force given to each edge part of a horizontal direction can be rapidly transmitted over the substantially full length of the horizontal direction of an upper edge part, As a result, a trunk periphery opening is expanded more smoothly. be able to.

In the following, in the developed state, the one side and the other side in the vertical direction are also referred to as “abdominal side” and “back side”, respectively, and the one side and the other side in the thickness direction are respectively referred to as “skin”. Also referred to as “side” and “non-skin side”.
Incidentally, the lateral direction has the same meaning in the pant-type state and the unfolded state. On the other hand, the vertical direction of the unfolded state is along the vertical direction of the pants-type state, and the thickness direction of the unfolded state is along the front-rear direction of the pants-type state.
 このおむつ1は所謂3ピースタイプであることから、図3Aの展開状態において、第1部品として、排泄物を吸収する吸収性本体10を有し、第2部品として腹側帯部材31を有し、第3部品として背側帯部材41を有している。詳しくは、腹側帯部材31と背側帯部材41とが縦方向に間隔をあけて平行に並んだ状態において、これら両者31,41同士の間に吸収性本体10が掛け渡されつつ、同吸収性本体10の縦方向の各端部10ea,10ebがそれぞれ最寄りの帯部材31,41に接合固定されていて、その外観形状は平面視略H形状をなしている。
 そして、この略H形状の展開状態から、吸収性本体10の縦方向の所定位置CL10(縦方向におけるおむつ1の中央位置CL1に相当する位置)を折り位置として同吸収性本体10が二つ折りされるとともに、この二つ折りの状態において互いに対向する帯部材31,41同士が横方向の各端部31e,41eにて溶着等で接合されると、これら帯部材31,41同士が環状に繋がって、これにより、図2に示すような胴回り開口BH及び一対の脚回り開口LH,LHが形成されたパンツ型状態のおむつ1となる。すなわち、上記端部31e,41e同士が接合されることにより、おむつ1の横方向の端部1ewが形成されると、当該端部1ewにおいて腹側帯部材31と背側帯部材41とは連続した状態となって、これにより、上方には胴回り開口BHが形成され、下方には、一対の脚回り開口LH,LHが形成された状態となる。
Since this diaper 1 is a so-called three-piece type, in the developed state of FIG. 3A, it has an absorbent main body 10 that absorbs excrement as a first part, and a ventral belt member 31 as a second part, A back band member 41 is provided as a third part. Specifically, in the state where the ventral belt member 31 and the back belt member 41 are arranged in parallel in the vertical direction, the absorbent main body 10 is stretched between the both 31 and 41 while the same absorbency. End portions 10ea and 10eb in the longitudinal direction of the main body 10 are joined and fixed to the nearest belt members 31 and 41, respectively, and the external shape thereof is substantially H-shaped in plan view.
Then, from the substantially H-shaped developed state, the absorbent main body 10 is folded in two with a predetermined position CL10 in the vertical direction of the absorbent main body 10 (a position corresponding to the central position CL1 of the diaper 1 in the vertical direction) as a folding position. In addition, when the band members 31, 41 facing each other in the folded state are joined by welding or the like at the end portions 31e, 41e in the lateral direction, the band members 31, 41 are connected in a ring shape. Thus, the pants-type diaper 1 is formed in which the waistline opening BH and the pair of leg-hole openings LH and LH as shown in FIG. 2 are formed. That is, when the end portions 31e and 41e are joined together to form the end portion 1ew in the lateral direction of the diaper 1, the ventral band member 31 and the back band member 41 are continuous at the end portion 1ew. Thus, the waist opening BH is formed at the upper side, and the pair of leg opening LH, LH is formed at the lower side.
 なお、このパンツ型状態(図2)では、おむつ1を、上述の3部品10,31,41とは異なる単位で三つの部分20,30,40に区分して捉えることができる。すなわち、同おむつ1を、着用者の前側に位置する腹側部30と、同着用者の後側に位置する背側部40と、着用者の股下に位置する股下部20との三つの部分に区分することができる。そして、この例では、図3Aに示すように、前者の腹側部30は、腹側帯部材31と、吸収性本体10のうちで腹側帯部材31と重なる部分10p1とを有し、股下部20は、吸収性本体10のうちで腹側帯部材31及び背側帯部材41から縦方向に突出する部分10p3を有し、背側部40は、背側帯部材41と、吸収性本体10のうちで背側帯部材41と重なる部分10p2と、を有している。 In this pant-type state (FIG. 2), the diaper 1 can be divided into three parts 20, 30, 40 in units different from the above-mentioned three parts 10, 31, 41. That is, the diaper 1 is divided into three parts: an abdominal side portion 30 located on the front side of the wearer, a back side portion 40 located on the rear side of the wearer, and a crotch portion 20 located on the crotch of the wearer. Can be divided into And in this example, as shown to FIG. 3A, the former ventral part 30 has the ventral belt member 31 and the part 10p1 which overlaps with the ventral belt member 31 in the absorptive main body 10, and the crotch 20 Has a portion 10p3 that protrudes in the longitudinal direction from the abdominal band member 31 and the back side band member 41 in the absorbent main body 10, and the back side portion 40 is the back of the back side band member 41 and the absorbent main body 10. A portion 10p2 overlapping the side band member 41.
 また、以下では、展開状態及びパンツ型状態のどちらについても、おむつ1に伸縮性を付与するための後述の弾性部材16,18,35,45による収縮力が全く無いものと仮想しておむつ1が広がった状態のことを「型紙状態」と言う。また、おむつ1に外力が作用しない状態、すなわち、同おむつ1が上記弾性部材16,18,35,45の収縮力によって収縮した状態のことを「自然状態」と言う。ちなみに、図3A及び図3Bでは、展開状態のおむつ1を型紙状態で示している。 In the following description, it is assumed that there is no contraction force due to the elastic members 16, 18, 35, and 45 described below for imparting stretchability to the diaper 1 in both the unfolded state and the pant-type state. The state in which the pattern spreads is called “pattern state”. A state in which no external force acts on the diaper 1, that is, a state in which the diaper 1 is contracted by the contraction force of the elastic members 16, 18, 35, 45 is referred to as a “natural state”. Incidentally, in FIG. 3A and FIG. 3B, the unfolded diaper 1 is shown as a pattern.
 図3A及び図3Bの展開状態においては、吸収性本体10は、平面視略長方形状をなしている。そして、吸収性本体10の長手方向が、縦方向に沿うように配されている。また、吸収性本体10は、吸収体11と、同吸収体11を肌側から覆って設けられたトップシート13と、同吸収体11を非肌側から覆って設けられたバックシート15と、を備えている。 3A and 3B, the absorbent main body 10 has a substantially rectangular shape in plan view. And the longitudinal direction of the absorptive main body 10 is distribute | arranged so that the longitudinal direction may be followed. Moreover, the absorptive main body 10 has an absorbent body 11, a top sheet 13 provided so as to cover the absorbent body 11 from the skin side, a back sheet 15 provided so as to cover the absorbent body 11 from the non-skin side, It has.
 吸収体11は、液体吸収性の吸収性コア11cと、同コア11cの外周面を被覆する不図示のコアラップシートと、を有する。吸収性コア11cは、所定の液体吸収性素材を所定形状の一例としての平面視略砂時計形状に成形した成形体である。液体吸収性素材としては、パルプ繊維等の液体吸収性繊維や、高吸収性ポリマー(所謂SAP)等の液体吸収性粒状物を例示できる。また、コアラップシートには、ティッシュペーパーや不織布等の液透過性シートを使用可能であるが、コアラップシートについては無くても良い。また、吸収性コア11cの形状は、何等上記の平面視略砂時計形状に限らず、他の形状でも良い。 The absorbent body 11 has a liquid absorbent absorbent core 11c and a core wrap sheet (not shown) that covers the outer peripheral surface of the core 11c. The absorbent core 11c is a molded body obtained by molding a predetermined liquid absorbent material into a substantially hourglass shape in plan view as an example of a predetermined shape. As a liquid absorptive material, liquid absorptive granular materials, such as liquid absorptive fibers, such as pulp fiber, and superabsorbent polymer (what is called SAP) can be illustrated. The core wrap sheet may be a liquid permeable sheet such as tissue paper or non-woven fabric, but the core wrap sheet may be omitted. Moreover, the shape of the absorptive core 11c is not limited to the above-mentioned substantially hourglass shape in plan view, but may be other shapes.
 トップシート13は、吸収体11から縦方向及び横方向に突出するような平面サイズの不織布等の液透過性のシートである。また、バックシート15も、吸収体11から縦方向及び横方向に突出するような平面サイズのシートであり、その一例としては、ポリエチレンフィルムやポリプロピレンフィルム等の液不透過性の防漏シート15aと、防漏シート15aの非肌側に貼り合わされた不織布製の外装シート15bとを有した二層構造のラミネートシート15が挙げられる(図3B)。そして、これらトップシート13とバックシート15との間に吸収体11を挟んだ状態において、吸収体11から縦方向及び横方向に突出した部分でこれら両シート13,15同士が例えば額縁状に接着や溶着等で接合されることにより、吸収性本体10が形成されている。なお、バックシート15は、外装シート15bを有さずに、防漏シート15aだけを有していても良い。 The top sheet 13 is a liquid-permeable sheet such as a non-woven fabric having a planar size that protrudes from the absorbent body 11 in the vertical direction and the horizontal direction. The back sheet 15 is also a sheet having a planar size that protrudes from the absorbent body 11 in the vertical direction and the horizontal direction. As an example, a liquid-impermeable leak-proof sheet 15a such as a polyethylene film or a polypropylene film is used. And a laminate sheet 15 having a two-layer structure including a non-woven exterior sheet 15b bonded to the non-skin side of the leak-proof sheet 15a (FIG. 3B). Then, in a state where the absorbent body 11 is sandwiched between the top sheet 13 and the back sheet 15, the two sheets 13, 15 are bonded to each other in a frame shape, for example, at a portion protruding from the absorbent body 11 in the vertical direction and the horizontal direction. The absorptive main body 10 is formed by joining by welding or the like. Note that the back sheet 15 may include only the leak-proof sheet 15a without including the exterior sheet 15b.
 また、この図3Aの例にように、吸収性本体10における吸収体11よりも横方向の外側の各部分10LGに、それぞれ縦方向に伸縮するレッグギャザーLGを設けても良い。かかるレッグギャザーLGは、脚回り開口LHの一部を構成する。また、レッグギャザーLGの伸縮性の付与は、上記の各部分10LGに、それぞれ縦方向に沿って糸ゴム等の弾性部材16を縦方向に伸長した状態で固定することでなされる。すなわち、上記の各部分10LGには、弾性部材16から縦方向の収縮力が付与されていて、これにより、外力の作用しない自然状態においては、当該各部分10LGが複数の襞を形成しながら縦方向に収縮している。よって、かかる襞が延びきるまでの伸縮性がレッグギャザーLGには付与されている。 Further, as in the example of FIG. 3A, leg gathers LG that expand and contract in the vertical direction may be provided in each portion 10LG in the lateral direction outside the absorbent body 11 in the absorbent main body 10. Such leg gathers LG constitute part of the leg opening LH. Further, the stretchability of the leg gather LG is given by fixing the elastic member 16 such as rubber thread in the longitudinal direction in each of the portions 10LG in the longitudinal direction. That is, the contraction force in the vertical direction is applied from the elastic member 16 to each of the above portions 10LG, so that in the natural state where no external force is applied, each of the portions 10LG forms a plurality of wrinkles. Shrink in the direction. Therefore, the leg gather LG is provided with stretchability until the wrinkles are fully extended.
 更に、同図3の例のように、レッグギャザーLGよりも横方向の内側の位置に、一対のレッグサイドギャザーLSG,LSGが設けられていても良い。レッグサイドギャザーLSGは、立体ギャザーとも呼ばれるものであり、排泄物の横方向の漏れを防止すべく、トップシート13の肌側面から起立する。すなわち、トップシート13の肌側面には、不織布製のレッグサイドギャザーシート17が重ね合わせられているとともに、当該シート17の一部(不図示)が、トップシート13に固定されていて、これにより、同シート17において当該一部よりも横方向の内側の部分17LSGが、起立するようになっている。ちなみに、この内側の部分17LSGの起立の実現は、同内側の部分17LSGに、縦方向に沿って糸ゴム等の弾性部材18が縦方向に伸長下で固定されることでなされている。すなわち、内側の部分17LSGには、上記弾性部材18から縦方向の収縮力が付与されていて、これにより、内側の部分17LSGが複数の襞を形成しながら縦方向に収縮して、その結果、トップシート13の肌側面から起立する。 Furthermore, as in the example of FIG. 3, a pair of leg side gathers LSG and LSG may be provided at a position inside in the lateral direction from the leg gather LG. The leg side gather LSG is also called a three-dimensional gather, and stands up from the skin side surface of the top sheet 13 to prevent the excrement from leaking in the lateral direction. That is, a non-woven leg side gather sheet 17 is superimposed on the skin side surface of the top sheet 13, and a part (not shown) of the sheet 17 is fixed to the top sheet 13, thereby In the same sheet 17, a portion 17LSG on the inner side in the lateral direction with respect to the portion is erected. Incidentally, the standing of the inner portion 17LSG is realized by the elastic member 18 such as rubber thread being fixed to the inner portion 17LSG in the vertical direction under extension. That is, the inner portion 17LSG is given a contraction force in the vertical direction from the elastic member 18, thereby causing the inner portion 17LSG to contract in the vertical direction while forming a plurality of wrinkles. Stands from the skin side of the top sheet 13.
 図3Aに示すように、腹側帯部材31は、不織布等の柔軟なシートを素材とした平面視略矩形形状のシート部材である。この例では、図3Bに示すように、不織布32,33を二枚重ねに接合することで腹側帯部材31は形成されている。そして、図3A及び図3Bに示すように、腹側帯部材31の横方向の中央部が、吸収性本体10における縦方向の腹側の端部10eaに非肌側から重ねられて接合されている。なお、かかる腹側帯部材31のうちで吸収性本体10から横方向に突出する部分における縦方向の端部31eL(図3A)は、脚回り開口LHの一部を構成する。 As shown in FIG. 3A, the ventral belt member 31 is a sheet member having a substantially rectangular shape in a plan view made of a flexible sheet such as a nonwoven fabric. In this example, as shown in FIG. 3B, the ventral band member 31 is formed by joining the nonwoven fabrics 32 and 33 in two layers. And as shown to FIG. 3A and 3B, the center part of the horizontal direction of the ventral | abdominal band member 31 is piled up and joined to the end part 10ea of the abdominal side of the absorptive main body 10 from the non-skin side. . Note that the longitudinal end 31eL (FIG. 3A) of the ventral belt member 31 that protrudes laterally from the absorbent main body 10 constitutes a part of the leg opening LH.
 また、図3A及び図3Bに示すように、腹側帯部材31に係る2枚の不織布32,33同士の間には、横方向に沿った糸ゴム等の複数本の弾性部材35,35…が縦方向に並んで介挿されつつ、横方向に伸長下で同不織布32,33に接合固定されている。そして、これにより、腹側帯部材31には横方向の収縮力が付与されている。つまり、腹側帯部材31には、横方向の伸縮性が付与されている。また、この例では、図3Aに示すように、腹側帯部材31において吸収体11と重なる部分の一部(例えば、横方向の中央部)については、吸収体11の皺の発生を防ぐ等の目的で、弾性部材35が非連続とされていて、これにより、この部分については伸縮性が付与されていないが、何等これに限らない。また、この例では、後述する切り欠き部37と縦方向の位置が同じ位置の弾性部材35についても、当該切り欠き部37の位置で非連続とされている。なお、弾性部材35については後述する。 As shown in FIGS. 3A and 3B, a plurality of elastic members 35, 35, etc., such as thread rubber, are provided along the lateral direction between the two nonwoven fabrics 32, 33 associated with the ventral belt member 31. It is joined and fixed to the nonwoven fabrics 32 and 33 under the extension in the horizontal direction while being inserted side by side in the vertical direction. As a result, a contractive force in the lateral direction is applied to the ventral band member 31. That is, the stretchability in the lateral direction is given to the ventral band member 31. Further, in this example, as shown in FIG. 3A, the part of the ventral belt member 31 that overlaps the absorber 11 (for example, the central portion in the lateral direction) is prevented from generating wrinkles of the absorber 11. For the purpose, the elastic member 35 is discontinuous, and thereby, no elasticity is given to this portion, but this is not a limitation. In this example, the elastic member 35 whose longitudinal position is the same as that of a notch 37 to be described later is also discontinuous at the position of the notch 37. The elastic member 35 will be described later.
 同図3Aに示すように、背側帯部材41は、不織布等の柔軟なシートを素材とした平面視略矩形形状のシート部材である。この例では、図3Bに示すように、不織布42,43を二枚重ねに接合することで背側帯部材41は形成されている。そして、図3A及び図3Bに示すように、背側帯部材41の横方向の中央部が、吸収性本体10における縦方向の背側の端部10ebに非肌側から重ねられて接合されている。なお、かかる背側帯部材41のうちで吸収性本体10から横方向に突出する部分における縦方向の端部41eL(図3A)は、脚回り開口LHの一部を構成する。 As shown in FIG. 3A, the dorsal belt member 41 is a sheet member having a substantially rectangular shape in plan view made of a flexible sheet such as a nonwoven fabric. In this example, as shown in FIG. 3B, the dorsal belt member 41 is formed by joining the non-woven fabrics 42 and 43 in two layers. And as shown to FIG. 3A and 3B, the center part of the horizontal direction of the back | dorsal band member 41 is piled up and joined from the non-skin side to the edge part 10eb of the vertical direction in the absorptive main body 10 from the non-skin side. . Note that the longitudinal end 41eL (FIG. 3A) of the back-side belt member 41 that protrudes laterally from the absorbent main body 10 constitutes a part of the leg opening LH.
 また、図3A及び図3Bに示すように、背側帯部材41に係る2枚の不織布42,43同士の間には、横方向に沿った糸ゴム等の複数本の弾性部材45,45…が縦方向に並んで介挿されつつ、横方向に伸長下で同不織布42,43に接合固定されている。そして、これにより、背側帯部材41には横方向の収縮力が付与されている。つまり、背側帯部材41には、横方向の伸縮性が付与されている。また、この例では、図3Aに示すように、背側帯部材41において吸収体11と重なる部分の一部(例えば、横方向の中央部)については、吸収体11の皺の発生を防ぐ等の目的で、弾性部材45が非連続とされていて、これにより、この部分については伸縮性が付与されていないが、何等これに限らない。 3A and 3B, a plurality of elastic members 45, 45, etc., such as thread rubber along the lateral direction, are provided between the two nonwoven fabrics 42, 43 related to the back band member 41. It is joined and fixed to the nonwoven fabrics 42 and 43 under the extension in the horizontal direction while being inserted side by side in the vertical direction. As a result, a lateral contractive force is applied to the back band member 41. That is, the back side belt member 41 is provided with lateral stretchability. Further, in this example, as shown in FIG. 3A, a part of the back band member 41 that overlaps the absorber 11 (for example, the central portion in the lateral direction) is prevented from generating wrinkles of the absorber 11 or the like. For the purpose, the elastic member 45 is discontinuous, and thereby, the stretchability is not given to this portion, but this is not a limitation.
 以上、おむつ1の主な構成部品10,31,41について説明したが、本実施形態では、パンツ型状態のおむつ1を着用者に履かせる際に、同おむつ1の胴回り開口BHを横方向に広げ易くなるように工夫されている。以下、この工夫について説明する。
 図4Aは、本実施形態のパンツ型状態のおむつ1を腹側から見た概略平面図である。 
 本実施形態では、先ず、このパンツ型状態且つ自然状態(又は型紙状態)のおむつ1を前後方向から見た場合に、腹側部30に属する腹側帯部材31の上縁部31BH及び背側部40に属する背側帯部材41の上縁部41BHが、それぞれ、横方向の全長に亘って、前述の各端部1ew,1ewにおける上端1ewu,1ewu同士を結ぶ仮想直線Luよりも下方の位置又は仮想直線Lu上に位置している。詳しくは、この図4Aの例では、腹側帯部材31の上縁部31BHは、切り欠き部37の位置では、仮想直線Luよりも下方に位置し、切り欠き部37以外の位置では仮想直線Lu上に位置し、また、背側帯部材41の上縁部41BHは、横方向の全長に亘って仮想直線Lu上に位置している。そして、これにより、腹側帯部材31及び背側帯部材41は、横方向の各端部1ew,1ewにおける上端1ewu,1ewuよりも上方に突出する突出部分(図1の突出部分40up’を参照)を有していない。
 よって、当該各端部1ew,1ewに手をかける等して横方向に広げると、その際に各端部1ew,1ewに付与される横方向の引っ張り力Fは、腹側帯部材31及び背側帯部材41の各上縁部31BH,41BHに速やかに伝わって、各上縁部31BH,41BHは横方向に伸びる。そして、これにより、胴回り開口BHを横方向に円滑に広げることができて、その結果、おむつ1を履かせ易くなる。
 また、腹側帯部材31の上縁部31BHは、カット部の一例として、周囲の部分よりも下方にへこむように切り欠かれた切り欠き部37(凹部に相当)を有している。すなわち、当該上縁部31BHは、上記各端部1ew,1ewよりも横方向の内側の位置に、下方に延びた切り欠き部37を有している。
 よって、おむつ1を横方向に広げると、当該切り欠き部37が横方向に開くことから、その開く分だけ胴回り開口BHを更に大きく広げることができる。すなわち、前述の型紙状態での腹側帯部材31BHの上縁部31BHの横方向の寸法L31BHを型紙寸法L31BHK(図3A)と定義した場合に、図4Aのパンツ型状態且つ自然状態のおむつ1を上記各端部1ew,1ewで横方向の両側に引っ張った際には、切り欠き部37の横方向の開きに基づいて、腹側帯部材31の上縁部31BHの横方向の寸法L31BHは、上記の型紙寸法31BHKよりも大きくなる。よって、胴回り開口BHを横方向に大きく広げることができて、おむつ1を更に履かせ易くなる。
As mentioned above, although the main components 10, 31, and 41 of the diaper 1 were demonstrated, when making a wearer wear the underpants type diaper 1 in this embodiment, the trunk periphery opening BH of the diaper 1 is set to a horizontal direction. It is devised to make it easier to spread. Hereinafter, this device will be described.
FIG. 4A is a schematic plan view of the pants-type diaper 1 according to the present embodiment as viewed from the ventral side.
In the present embodiment, first, when the diaper 1 in the pants-type state and the natural state (or the paper pattern state) is viewed from the front-rear direction, the upper edge portion 31BH and the back-side portion of the abdominal side band member 31 belonging to the abdominal side portion 30. The upper edge portion 41BH of the dorsal belt member 41 belonging to 40 is positioned below or hypothetical to the virtual straight line Lu connecting the upper ends 1ewu and 1ewu at the respective end portions 1ew and 1ew over the entire length in the lateral direction. It is located on the straight line Lu. Specifically, in the example of FIG. 4A, the upper edge portion 31BH of the ventral band member 31 is positioned below the virtual straight line Lu at the position of the notch 37, and the virtual straight line Lu at positions other than the notch 37. The upper edge portion 41BH of the back side belt member 41 is located on the virtual straight line Lu over the entire length in the lateral direction. As a result, the ventral band member 31 and the dorsal band member 41 have protruding portions protruding above the upper ends 1ewu and 1ewu at the respective end portions 1ew and 1ew in the lateral direction (see the protruding portion 40up ′ in FIG. 1). I don't have it.
Therefore, when the end portions 1ew and 1ew are spread in the lateral direction, for example, the lateral tensile force F applied to the end portions 1ew and 1ew at that time is determined by the ventral band member 31 and the dorsal band. The upper edge portions 31BH and 41BH of the member 41 are quickly transmitted to the upper edge portions 31BH and 41BH, and the upper edge portions 31BH and 41BH extend in the lateral direction. As a result, the waist opening BH can be smoothly expanded in the lateral direction, and as a result, the diaper 1 can be easily put on.
Further, the upper edge portion 31BH of the abdominal band member 31 has, as an example of a cut portion, a cutout portion 37 (corresponding to a concave portion) cut out so as to be recessed below the surrounding portion. That is, the upper edge portion 31BH has a notch portion 37 extending downward at a position on the inner side in the lateral direction from the end portions 1ew and 1ew.
Therefore, when the diaper 1 is expanded in the lateral direction, the cutout portion 37 opens in the lateral direction, so that the waistline opening BH can be further expanded by that amount. That is, when the lateral dimension L31BH of the upper edge portion 31BH of the ventral band member 31BH in the pattern state is defined as the pattern dimension L31BHK (FIG. 3A), the diaper 1 in the pants-type state and the natural state in FIG. When each of the end portions 1ew and 1ew is pulled to both sides in the lateral direction, the lateral dimension L31BH of the upper edge portion 31BH of the ventral belt member 31 is based on the lateral opening of the notch portion 37. The paper pattern size is larger than 31 BHK. Therefore, the waist opening BH can be greatly widened in the lateral direction, and the diaper 1 can be more easily worn.
 更に、切り欠き部37は、腹側帯部材31の上縁部31BHに対して一つだけ設けられている。よって、図4Bの参考例のように腹側帯部材31の上縁部31BHに二つ以上の切り欠き部37,37が設けられた場合に起こり得る不具合、すなわち、上縁部31BHのうちの切り欠き部37,37同士の間の部分31BHPBに引っ張り力Fが伝達し難くなるという不具合を防ぐことができる。そして、これにより、横方向の各端部1ew,1ewに付与される引っ張り力Fを、上縁部31BHの横方向の略全長に亘って速やかに伝達することができて、その結果、胴回り開口BHをより円滑に広げることができる。 Furthermore, only one notch 37 is provided for the upper edge 31BH of the ventral belt member 31. Therefore, as in the reference example of FIG. 4B, a problem that may occur when two or more cutout portions 37, 37 are provided in the upper edge portion 31 </ b> BH of the ventral belt member 31, i.e. It is possible to prevent a problem that the tensile force F is difficult to be transmitted to the portion 31BHPB between the notches 37 and 37. As a result, the tensile force F applied to each of the end portions 1ew and 1ew in the lateral direction can be quickly transmitted over substantially the entire length of the upper edge portion 31BH in the lateral direction. BH can be spread more smoothly.
 また、図4Aに示すように、切り欠き部37は、腹側帯部材31における横方向の中央部に位置している。よって、切り欠き部37は、横方向に均等に開くようになる。更に、上縁部31BHでの引っ張り力Fの伝達性についても、上縁部31BHのうちの切り欠き部37の両側の各部分31BHS,31BHS同士で概ね均等になる。そして、このことも、胴回り開口BHの広げ易さの向上に有効に寄与し得る。但し、何等これに限らない。すなわち、中央部から横方向にずれた位置に切り欠き部37を形成しても良い。 Further, as shown in FIG. 4A, the notch 37 is located in the lateral center of the ventral band member 31. Therefore, the notch part 37 opens equally in the horizontal direction. Further, the transferability of the tensile force F at the upper edge portion 31BH is also substantially uniform between the portions 31BHS and 31BHS on both sides of the notch portion 37 in the upper edge portion 31BH. And this can also contribute to the improvement of the easiness of expansion of the waist opening BH. However, it is not limited to this. That is, the notch 37 may be formed at a position shifted laterally from the center.
 なお、この図4Aの例では、かかる切り欠き部37は、型紙状態においては円弧状に湾曲した形状をなしている。そして、同型紙状態において切り欠き部37の縦方向の寸法の最大値L37dは、例えば10mm~30mmの範囲から選択され、この例では15mmであり、同切り欠き部37の横方向の寸法の最大値L37wは、例えば50mm~100mmの範囲から選択され、この例では85mmである。但し、切り欠き部37の形状は、何等円弧状に限らない。例えば、矩形状や三角形状であっても良いし、これら以外の多角形形状であっても良い。また、曲線と直線とを組み合わせた複合形状でも構わない。 In the example of FIG. 4A, the notch 37 has a curved shape in an arc shape in the pattern state. Then, the maximum value L37d of the vertical dimension of the cutout portion 37 in the same paper state is selected from a range of 10 mm to 30 mm, for example, and is 15 mm in this example, and is the maximum horizontal dimension of the cutout portion 37. The value L37w is selected from a range of 50 mm to 100 mm, for example, and is 85 mm in this example. However, the shape of the notch 37 is not limited to an arc shape. For example, it may be a rectangular shape or a triangular shape, or may be a polygonal shape other than these. Further, a composite shape combining a curve and a straight line may be used.
 また、この図4Aの例では、背側部40に属する背側帯部材41の上縁部41BHに対しては切り欠き部47を設けていないが、何等これに限らない。例えば、図5Aのように腹側帯部材31の上記切り欠き部37の代わりに背側帯部材41に切り欠き部47を設けても良いし、或いは、図5Bのように腹側帯部材31の切り欠き部37に加えて背側帯部材41にも切り欠き部47を設けても良い。なお、その場合には、上述と同じ理由から、図5A及び図5Bに示すように、切り欠き部47を、背側帯部材41の上縁部41BHに一つだけ設けるのが望ましい。また、仮に腹側帯部材31及び背側帯部材41のどちらか一方にのみ切り欠き部37(47)を設ける場合には、当該切り欠き部37を、腹側帯部材31に設けるのが望ましい。そして、このようにすれば、切り欠き部37の横方向の開きに基づいて、背中よりも膨らんだ形状のお腹への腹側帯部材31の締め付けを軽減することができる。そして、これにより、お腹が楽なおむつ1を提供することができる。
 更に、このように切り欠き部37を腹側帯部材31における横方向の中央部に設ければ、着用者のお臍におむつ1を当てないようにすることもできる。よって、着用者のお臍におむつ1を当てたくない場合、例えば、新生児の臍が湿潤している場合や出血防止用のクリップが臍に取り付けられているような場合に好適なおむつ1となる。
In the example of FIG. 4A, the notch 47 is not provided for the upper edge portion 41BH of the dorsal belt member 41 belonging to the dorsal portion 40, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, a cutout portion 47 may be provided in the dorsal band member 41 instead of the cutout portion 37 of the ventral side band member 31 as shown in FIG. 5A, or a cutout portion of the ventral side band member 31 as shown in FIG. 5B. In addition to the portion 37, a cutout portion 47 may be provided in the back band member 41. In this case, for the same reason as described above, it is desirable to provide only one notch portion 47 on the upper edge portion 41BH of the back band member 41 as shown in FIGS. 5A and 5B. Further, if the cutout portion 37 (47) is provided only in one of the ventral belt member 31 and the back belt member 41, it is desirable to provide the cutout portion 37 in the ventral belt member 31. And if it does in this way, based on the opening of the notch part 37 in the horizontal direction, clamping of the abdominal side band member 31 to the stomach of the shape swollen rather than the back can be reduced. And thereby, the diaper 1 with a comfortable stomach can be provided.
Furthermore, if the notch part 37 is provided in the center part of the horizontal direction in the ventral | abdominal side band member 31 in this way, it can also be made not to apply the diaper 1 to a wearer's navel. Therefore, when it is not desired to apply the diaper 1 to the wearer's navel, for example, when the newborn's navel is wet or a bleeding prevention clip is attached to the navel, the diaper 1 is suitable. .
 なお、以下で述べる腹側帯部材31の切り欠き部37等の説明は、基本的に背側帯部材41に切り欠き部47を設けた場合にもあてはまることである。そして、この背側帯部材41に切り欠き部47を設けた例については、以下の記載から類推可能であると考えられる。よって、背側帯部材41に切り欠き部47を設けた場合の説明については省略する。 Note that the description of the cutout portion 37 and the like of the ventral side band member 31 described below basically applies to the case where the cutout portion 47 is provided in the back side band member 41. An example in which the cutout portion 47 is provided in the dorsal belt member 41 can be inferred from the following description. Therefore, the description when the cutout portion 47 is provided in the back side belt member 41 is omitted.
 図6Aは、パンツ型状態のおむつ1の腹側帯部材31を前側から見た概略拡大図である。なお、以下の説明では、この図6Aのように、パンツ型状態の前提で説明する。また、以下の説明では、おむつ1は前述の自然状態にあるものとして説明するが、何等、型紙状態にあることを否定するものではない。つまり、特に断らない限り、以下の説明を、自然状態でのことと捉えても良いし、型紙状態でのこと捉えても良い。 FIG. 6A is a schematic enlarged view of the ventral belt member 31 of the diaper 1 in a pants-type state as viewed from the front side. In the following description, explanation will be made on the premise of a pants-type state as shown in FIG. 6A. In the following description, the diaper 1 is described as being in the above-described natural state, but this does not deny that the diaper 1 is in the pattern state. That is, unless otherwise specified, the following description may be understood as being in a natural state or as being in a pattern state.
 前述のように、腹側帯部材31には、同腹側帯部材31に横方向の伸縮性を付与するための弾性部材35,35…が設けられている。すなわち、横方向に沿った複数の弾性部材35,35…が上下方向に並んで設けられている。そして、この例では、幾つかの弾性部材35a(35)が、横方向における切り欠き部37の位置で非連続となっているとともに、当該非連続の弾性部材35a(35)の上下方向の配置位置は、切り欠き部37が存在する上下方向の範囲A37に含まれている。よって、腹側帯部材31を横方向に伸ばす際に要する引っ張り力Fを軽減することができて、これにより、胴回り開口BHを横方向に広げ易くなる。また、切り欠き部37には、非連続の弾性部材35aの収縮力が当該切り欠き部37を横方向に開く方向に作用するので、切り欠き部37を開き易くなって、このことも胴回り開口BHを横方向に広げ易くすることに有効に寄与する。 As described above, the ventral band member 31 is provided with elastic members 35, 35,... For imparting lateral stretchability to the ventral band member 31. That is, a plurality of elastic members 35 along the lateral direction are provided side by side in the vertical direction. In this example, some of the elastic members 35a (35) are discontinuous at the positions of the notches 37 in the lateral direction, and the discontinuous elastic members 35a (35) are arranged in the vertical direction. The position is included in a range A37 in the vertical direction where the notch 37 is present. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the pulling force F required when the ventral belt member 31 is extended in the lateral direction, and it becomes easy to widen the waistline opening BH in the lateral direction. In addition, since the contraction force of the discontinuous elastic member 35a acts on the cutout portion 37 in the direction of opening the cutout portion 37 in the lateral direction, the cutout portion 37 can be easily opened. This contributes to making BH easy to spread in the lateral direction.
 また、この例では、かかる非連続の弾性部材35aは、切り欠き部37から前述の端部1ewまで横方向に連続して設けられている。よって、胴回り開口BHの横方向の広い範囲に亘って当該胴回り開口BHに伸縮性を付与することができる。 In this example, the non-continuous elastic member 35a is continuously provided in the lateral direction from the notch 37 to the end 1ew described above. Therefore, stretchability can be imparted to the waistline opening BH over a wide range in the lateral direction of the waistline opening BH.
 更に、この例では、吸収性本体10の上端10euは、切り欠き部37の下端37edよりも下方に離間して位置していて、これにより、吸収性本体10には切り欠き部37が形成されていない。よって、この例では、切り欠き部37を構成する部材から吸収性本体10を除外していて、つまり、切り欠き部37を腹側帯部材31のみで構成している。そして、これにより、切り欠き部37を構成する部材の総量を少なくすることができて、これにより、切り欠き部37の剛性の低下を通して、総じて当該切り欠き部37を柔らかくすることができる。その結果、着用者の肌への切り欠き部37の当たり具合を良好にできる。 Furthermore, in this example, the upper end 10eu of the absorbent main body 10 is positioned below the lower end 37ed of the notch 37, so that the notch 37 is formed in the absorbent main body 10. Not. Therefore, in this example, the absorptive main body 10 is excluded from the members constituting the notch portion 37, that is, the notch portion 37 is constituted only by the ventral band member 31. As a result, the total amount of the members constituting the cutout portion 37 can be reduced, whereby the cutout portion 37 can be generally softened through a decrease in the rigidity of the cutout portion 37. As a result, the degree of contact of the notch 37 with the wearer's skin can be improved.
 また、この例では、切り欠き部37の下端37edと吸収性本体10の上端10euとの間の位置A31には、少なくとも一つの弾性部材35の一例として1本の弾性部材35b(35)が、横方向における切り欠き部37の位置を横方向に跨ぐように延在している。例えば、当該弾性部材35b(35)は、横方向の一方側の端部1ewから切り欠き部37の位置を経て横方向の他方側の端部1ewまで連続して横方向に延在して設けられている。 In this example, at the position A31 between the lower end 37ed of the notch 37 and the upper end 10eu of the absorbent body 10, one elastic member 35b (35) as an example of at least one elastic member 35, It extends so as to straddle the position of the notch 37 in the lateral direction in the lateral direction. For example, the elastic member 35b (35) is provided so as to continuously extend in the lateral direction from the lateral end 1ew to the lateral end 1ew through the position of the notch 37. It has been.
 よって、切り欠き部37が横方向に開くことに伴って切り欠き部37の近傍に位置する吸収性本体10の上端10euが着用者の肌から浮いてしまう事態を、上記の弾性部材35b(35)によって防ぐことができる。そして、その結果、吸収性本体10は、上端10eu及びその近傍において着用者の肌への良好なフィット性を奏することができる。 Therefore, the situation where the upper end 10eu of the absorbent main body 10 located in the vicinity of the notch 37 floats from the skin of the wearer as the notch 37 opens in the lateral direction is referred to as the elastic member 35b (35 ) Can prevent. And as a result, the absorptive main body 10 can show the favorable fitting property to a wearer's skin in upper end 10eu and its vicinity.
 更に、この例では、吸収性コア11cの上端11ceuは、吸収性本体10の上端10euよりも下方に離間して位置している。すなわち、この吸収性本体10にあっては、前述のように、吸収性コア11cよりも上方にトップシート13とバックシート15とが突出していて、この突出分だけ、吸収性コア11cの上端11ceuと吸収性本体10の上端10euとは上下方向に離間している。また、当該吸収性本体10の上端10euと吸収性コア11cの上端11ceuとの間の位置A10には、少なくとも一つの弾性部材35の一例として3本の弾性部材35c(35)が、横方向における切り欠き部37の位置を横方向に跨ぐように延在している。例えば、当該弾性部材35c(35)は、横方向の一方側の端部1ewから切り欠き部37の位置を経て横方向の他方側の端部1ewまで連続して横方向に延在して設けられている。 Furthermore, in this example, the upper end 11 ceu of the absorbent core 11 c is positioned lower than the upper end 10 eu of the absorbent main body 10. That is, in the absorbent main body 10, as described above, the top sheet 13 and the back sheet 15 protrude above the absorbent core 11 c, and the upper end 11 ceu of the absorbent core 11 c is equivalent to this protrusion. And the upper end 10eu of the absorbent main body 10 are spaced apart in the vertical direction. In addition, at a position A10 between the upper end 10eu of the absorbent main body 10 and the upper end 11ceu of the absorbent core 11c, three elastic members 35c (35) as an example of at least one elastic member 35 are arranged in the lateral direction. It extends so as to straddle the position of the notch 37 in the lateral direction. For example, the elastic member 35c (35) is provided so as to extend continuously in the lateral direction from the lateral end 1ew to the lateral end 1ew through the position of the notch 37. It has been.
 よって、切り欠き部37が横方向に開くことに伴って切り欠き部37の近傍に位置する吸収性コア11cの上端11ceuが着用者の肌から大きく浮いてしまう事態を、上記の弾性部材35c(35)によって防ぐことができる。そして、その結果、吸収性コア11cは、上端11ceu及びその近傍において着用者の肌への良好なフィット性を奏することができる。 Therefore, the situation where the upper end 11 ceu of the absorbent core 11 c located in the vicinity of the notch 37 greatly floats from the wearer's skin as the notch 37 opens in the lateral direction is referred to as the elastic member 35 c ( 35). And as a result, the absorptive core 11c can show | form favorable fitting property to a wearer's skin in upper end 11ceu and its vicinity.
 また、同図6Aに示すように、この例では、吸収性本体10は、おむつ1における横方向の中央部に設けられているが、横方向における切り欠き部37の配置位置は、吸収性本体10における横方向の両端P10w,P10wよりも内側に収まっている。すなわち、切り欠き部37は、吸収性本体10よりも横方向の外側にはみ出しておらず、これにより、当該切り欠き部37は、おむつ1における横方向の端側よりも中央側に位置している。よって、胴回り開口BHを広げるべくおむつ1の横方向の各端部1ew,1ewにかけられた手が切り欠き部37に掛かってしまうことを防ぐことができて、これにより、当該切り欠き部37が横方向に開かなくなる事態を回避することができる。そして、切り欠き部37はしっかりと開くことができて、その結果、胴回り開口BHを広げることに有効に寄与し得る。なお、この効果をより高めたい場合には、横方向における切り欠き部37の配置位置を、吸収性コア11cにおける横方向の両端P11cw,P11cwよりも内側に収めると良く、この図6Aの例では、そのようにもなっている。 Moreover, as shown in FIG. 6A, in this example, the absorbent main body 10 is provided in the center of the diaper 1 in the horizontal direction, but the arrangement position of the notch 37 in the horizontal direction is the absorbent main body. 10 is located inside the lateral ends P10w, P10w. That is, the cutout portion 37 does not protrude outward in the lateral direction from the absorbent main body 10, so that the cutout portion 37 is located on the center side with respect to the lateral end side of the diaper 1. Yes. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the hand placed on each of the lateral ends 1ew, 1ew of the diaper 1 so as to widen the waistline opening BH from being applied to the cutout portion 37, whereby the cutout portion 37 is formed. It is possible to avoid a situation in which it does not open laterally. And the notch part 37 can open firmly, As a result, it can contribute to expanding the trunk periphery opening BH effectively. In order to further enhance this effect, the arrangement position of the cutout portion 37 in the lateral direction may be stored inside the lateral ends P11cw and P11cw in the absorbent core 11c. In the example of FIG. 6A, It ’s also like that.
 更に、この例では、同図6Aに示すように、腹側帯部材31を、横方向に三つの領域A1,A2,A2に区分して捉えることができる。すなわち、腹側帯部材31を、吸収性コア11cが位置する第1領域A1と、第1領域A1の横方向の両側に位置して吸収性コア11cが位置しない第2領域A2,A2とに区分して捉えることができるが、その場合に、第1領域A1における所定領域A1aでは、弾性部材35d(35)が非連続とされていて、これにより、当該所定領域A1aに弾性部材35d(35)から付与される横方向の収縮力の大きさは、同弾性部材35d(35)から第2領域A2に付与される横方向の収縮力の大きさよりも小さくなっている。より詳しくは、上記所定領域A1aでは、概ね収縮力が作用していない。また、横方向における切り欠き部37の少なくとも一部(この例では中央部)の配置位置は、上記所定領域A1aにおける横方向の両端A1aew,A1aewよりも内側に収まっている。 Furthermore, in this example, as shown in FIG. 6A, the ventral belt member 31 can be divided into three regions A1, A2, and A2 in the lateral direction. That is, the ventral belt member 31 is divided into a first region A1 where the absorbent core 11c is located and second regions A2 and A2 which are located on both lateral sides of the first region A1 and where the absorbent core 11c is not located. In this case, in the predetermined area A1a in the first area A1, the elastic member 35d (35) is discontinuous, whereby the elastic member 35d (35) is provided in the predetermined area A1a. The lateral contraction force applied from the elastic member 35d (35) is smaller than the lateral contraction force applied from the elastic member 35d (35) to the second region A2. More specifically, in the predetermined area A1a, substantially no contraction force is applied. Further, the arrangement position of at least a part of the cutout portion 37 in the lateral direction (in this example, the central portion) is located inside the lateral ends A1aew and A1aew in the predetermined region A1a.
 よって、この所定領域A1aでの収縮力の大きさが非常に小さいことに基づいて、切り欠き部37は横方向に開き易くなっている。そして、これにより、横方向の各端部1ew,1ewにかけられた手から付与される横方向の引っ張り力Fは、切り欠き部37に速やかに作用し得て、その結果、切り欠き部37は速やかに横方向に開くことができる。 Therefore, based on the fact that the magnitude of the contraction force in the predetermined area A1a is very small, the notch 37 is easily opened in the lateral direction. As a result, the lateral pulling force F applied from the hands applied to the respective lateral ends 1ew, 1ew can quickly act on the notch 37, and as a result, the notch 37 Can open quickly in the horizontal direction.
 なお、この効果を更に高めたい場合には、図6Bに示すように、横方向における切り欠き部37の配置位置(つまり、切り欠き部37の全部の配置位置)を、上記所定領域A1aにおける横方向の両端A1aew,A1aewの内側に収めれば良い。 In order to further enhance this effect, as shown in FIG. 6B, the arrangement positions of the cutout portions 37 in the horizontal direction (that is, the arrangement positions of all the cutout portions 37) are set in the horizontal direction in the predetermined area A1a. What is necessary is just to fit in the inner side of the both ends A1aew of a direction, A1aew.
 また、図6Aに示すように、この例では、上縁部31BHは、上記端部1ewから切り欠き部37の上端37euまでに亘って直線状に形成されている。よって、上記端部1ewに付与される引っ張り力Fが上縁部31BHの略全域に亘って伝わり易くなる。そして、これにより、引っ張り力Fが伝わらない部分に起こり得る折れ返り等を有効に防ぎながら、胴回り開口BHを広げることができる。 Further, as shown in FIG. 6A, in this example, the upper edge portion 31BH is formed linearly from the end portion 1ew to the upper end 37eu of the cutout portion 37. Therefore, the tensile force F applied to the end portion 1ew is easily transmitted over substantially the entire area of the upper edge portion 31BH. Thus, it is possible to widen the waistline opening BH while effectively preventing folding or the like that may occur in a portion where the tensile force F is not transmitted.
 更に、腹側帯部材31において切り欠き部37を有する部分のことを、切り欠き部含有部分37ip(カット部含有部分に相当)と言った場合に、望ましくは、この切り欠き部含有部分37ipが、切り欠き部37の縁部に沿って、周囲の色と異なる色の色違い領域A37ip(図6A中でドット模様の部分を参照)を有していると良い。
 そして、このようになっていれば、切り欠き部37の開き状況を目視確認し易くなることから、これを目安に、胴回り開口BHの広がり具合を把握し易くなる。
Furthermore, when the portion having the cutout portion 37 in the ventral side belt member 31 is referred to as a cutout portion containing portion 37ip (corresponding to a cut portion containing portion), preferably, this cutout portion containing portion 37ip is: A different color area A37ip (refer to the dot pattern portion in FIG. 6A) of a color different from the surrounding color may be provided along the edge of the cutout portion 37.
And if it becomes like this, since it will become easy to visually confirm the opening condition of the notch part 37, it will become easy to grasp | ascertain the expansion condition of the trunk periphery opening BH on the basis of this.
 なお、おむつ交換時に、この色違い領域A37ipについては、非肌側からだけでなく肌側からも見ることが考えられる。そのため、この色違い領域A37ipを非肌側及び肌側のうちの少なくとも一方側から視認可能にしていれば、上記の効果を相応に享受することができる。
 また、この色違い領域A37ipを着色によって切り欠き部含有部分37ipに形成する場合には、上記のような理由から、当該着色を非肌側から行っても良いし肌側から行っても良い。但し、この例では、腹側帯部材31は、不織布32,33で形成されている。そのため、当該腹側帯部材31を透かす形で、非肌側又は肌側に存在するものを、その逆側からも視認可能である。よって、切り欠き部含有部分37ipを非肌側及び肌側のどちらから着色しても、色違い領域A37ipを非肌側及び肌側の両側から視認可能である。
In addition, when changing diapers, it can be considered that the different color region A37ip is viewed not only from the non-skin side but also from the skin side. Therefore, if the different color region A37ip is visible from at least one of the non-skin side and the skin side, the above-described effects can be enjoyed accordingly.
Moreover, when forming this color difference area | region A37ip in the notch part containing part 37ip by coloring, the said coloring may be performed from the non-skin side from the reason mentioned above, and may be performed from the skin side. However, in this example, the ventral band member 31 is formed of nonwoven fabrics 32 and 33. Therefore, the thing which exists in the non-skin side or the skin side in the form which permeate | transmits the said ventral | abdominal band member 31 is visually recognizable also from the reverse side. Therefore, even if the cutout portion containing portion 37ip is colored from either the non-skin side or the skin side, the different color region A37ip can be viewed from both the non-skin side and the skin side.
 一方、着色以外の方法で色違い領域A37ipを形成してもよい。例えば、切り欠き部含有部分37ipに重なるように別シート(不図示)を設けることによって、切り欠き部含有部分37ipに上述の色違い領域A37ipを形成しても良い。なお、その場合には、別シートは、腹側帯部材31の肌側又は非肌側に配置しても良いし、或いは、腹側帯部材31の二枚の不織布32,33同士の間に介在させても良い。 On the other hand, the different color region A37ip may be formed by a method other than coloring. For example, the above-described different color region A37ip may be formed in the notch containing part 37ip by providing another sheet (not shown) so as to overlap the notch containing part 37ip. In this case, the separate sheet may be disposed on the skin side or the non-skin side of the ventral band member 31, or may be interposed between the two nonwoven fabrics 32 and 33 of the ventral band member 31. May be.
 また、ここで言う「異なる色」とは、2つの領域の色の色差を肉眼で視認できる二つの色のことである。「色差」については、測定対象となる2点(2つの領域)について市販の測色器を用いて測色を行い、JISZ8729等に規定されるCIE1976(L*a*b*)色空間に基づいて数値化した値を比較することによって求めることができる。具体的には、測定対象たる2点間のL*値の差がΔL*、a*値の差がΔa*、b*値の差がΔb*であるときに、色差は、数式ΔE*ab=[(ΔL*)2+(Δa*)2+(Δb*)2]1/2で求められる。そして、ここでは、この色差ΔE*abが1.5以上、望ましくは3.0以上である場合に、「互いに異なる色」であるものとする。ΔE*ab値が1.5以上であれば、人間が肉眼で感知し得る程度に色が異なると言えるため、おむつ交換の作業者は、当該切り欠き部含有部分37ipの色違い領域A37ipを視認することができる。 The “different colors” referred to here are two colors that allow the color difference between the two regions to be visually recognized. Regarding “color difference”, two points (two areas) to be measured are measured using a commercially available colorimeter, and based on the CIE 1976 (L * a * b *) color space defined in JISZ8729 etc. It can be obtained by comparing numerical values. Specifically, when the difference in L * value between two points to be measured is ΔL *, the difference in a * value is Δa *, and the difference in b * value is Δb *, the color difference is expressed by the equation ΔE * ab = [(ΔL *) 2 + (Δa *) 2 + (Δb *) 2 ] 1/2 Here, when the color difference ΔE * ab is 1.5 or more, preferably 3.0 or more, it is assumed that the colors are different from each other. If the ΔE * ab value is 1.5 or more, it can be said that the color is different to the extent that a human can perceive it. Therefore, the diaper changing operator visually recognizes the color difference area A37ip of the notch-containing part 37ip. can do.
 図7は、パンツ型使い捨ておむつ1の変形例の説明図である。上述の実施形態では、図6Aに示すように、カット部の一例として、切り欠き部37を例示した。すなわち、切り取り面積を有するカット部37を例示したが、この変形例では、図7に示すように、カット部が線状のスリット部37sであって、つまり、カット部37sが、切り取り面積を有さないものである点で相違する。そして、主にこの点で上述の実施形態と相違し、これ以外の点は、概ね前述の実施形態と同じである。よって、以下では、この相違点について主に説明する。 FIG. 7 is an explanatory view of a modified example of the pants-type disposable diaper 1. In the above-described embodiment, as illustrated in FIG. 6A, the notch portion 37 is illustrated as an example of the cut portion. That is, the cut portion 37 having a cut area is illustrated, but in this modification, as shown in FIG. 7, the cut portion is a linear slit portion 37s, that is, the cut portion 37s has a cut area. It is different in that it is not. And this point is mainly different from the above-described embodiment, and other points are generally the same as the above-described embodiment. Therefore, this difference will be mainly described below.
 この変形例では、腹側帯部材31の上縁部31BHは、前述の各端部1ew,1ewよりも横方向の内側の位置に、下方に直線状に延びたスリット部37sを有している。よって、おむつ1を横方向に広げると、当該スリット部37sが横方向に開くことから、その開く分だけ胴回り開口BHを大きく広げることができて、その結果、おむつ1を履かせ易くなる。 In this modification, the upper edge portion 31BH of the ventral band member 31 has a slit portion 37s extending linearly downward at a position on the inner side in the lateral direction with respect to the aforementioned end portions 1ew and 1ew. Therefore, when the diaper 1 is expanded in the lateral direction, the slit portion 37s is opened in the lateral direction, so that the waistline opening BH can be greatly expanded by the opening, and as a result, the diaper 1 can be easily put on.
 但し、このスリット部37sの場合には、スリット部37sにおける上側部分の横方向の両側に位置するコーナー部分37sc,37scが、図7中に一点鎖線で示す折れ線LB37scでもって三角形状に折れ返り易く、その結果、胴回り開口BHの触感が悪くなる恐れがある。そのため、このような折れ返りを防ぐ観点からは、前述の切り欠き部37の方がスリット部37sよりも望ましい。
 かかるスリット部37sの上下方向の長さL37sは、例えば型紙状態で5mm~50mmの範囲から選択され、望ましくは10mm~30mmの範囲から選択される。また、スリット部37sの形状は、何等上述の直線状に限らず、例えば、円弧などの曲線状でも良いし、ジグザク線状や波線状でも良い、
 ===その他の実施の形態===
 以上、本発明の実施形態について説明したが、上記の実施形態は、本発明の理解を容易にするためのものであり、本発明を限定して解釈するためのものではない。また、本発明は、その趣旨を逸脱することなく、変更や改良され得るとともに、本発明にはその等価物が含まれるのはいうまでもない。例えば、以下に示すような変形が可能である。
However, in the case of the slit portion 37s, the corner portions 37sc and 37sc located on both sides in the lateral direction of the upper portion of the slit portion 37s are easily folded back into a triangular shape by a broken line LB37sc shown by a one-dot chain line in FIG. As a result, the tactile sensation of the waistline opening BH may be deteriorated. Therefore, from the viewpoint of preventing such folding, the above-described notched portion 37 is more preferable than the slit portion 37s.
The length L37s in the vertical direction of the slit portion 37s is selected from a range of 5 mm to 50 mm, for example, in a pattern, and is preferably selected from a range of 10 mm to 30 mm. Further, the shape of the slit portion 37s is not limited to the above-described linear shape, and may be a curved shape such as an arc, a zigzag line shape, or a wavy line shape, for example.
=== Other Embodiments ===
As mentioned above, although embodiment of this invention was described, said embodiment is for making an understanding of this invention easy, and is not for limiting and interpreting this invention. Further, the present invention can be changed or improved without departing from the gist thereof, and needless to say, the present invention includes equivalents thereof. For example, the following modifications are possible.
 上述の実施形態等では、図4Aに示すように、腹側帯部材31の上縁部31BHは、切り欠き部37以外の位置において前述の仮想直線Lu上に位置し、また、背側帯部材41の上縁部41BHも、横方向の全長に亘って仮想直線Lu上に位置していた。しかし、何等これに限らない。例えば、図8Aに示すように、切り欠き部37以外の位置において腹側帯部材31の上縁部31BHの形状が、下に凸の円弧状であり、また、背側帯部材41の上縁部41BHの形状も、横方向の全長に亘って下に凸の円弧状であっても良い。言い換えると、切り欠き部37以外の位置においても腹側帯部材31の上縁部31BHが部分的又は全体的に仮想直線Luより下方に位置していても良いし、背側帯部材41の上縁部41BHも、部分的又は全体的に仮想直線Luより下方に位置していても良い。更には、腹側帯部材31の上縁部31BHと背側帯部材41の上縁部41BHとが、上下方向の位置に関して一致していなくても良い。例えば、図8Bに示すように、腹側帯部材31の上縁部31BHの方が背側帯部材41の上縁部41BHより下方に位置していても良いし、その逆でも良い。また、このことは、横方向に関して部分的であっても良いし全長に亘ってでも良い。なお、その場合に、切り欠き部37以外の位置における各上縁部31BH,41BHの仮想直線Luからの上下方向の離間距離の最大値L31BHd,L41BHdは、例えば1mm~40mmの範囲から選択される。 In the above-described embodiment and the like, as shown in FIG. 4A, the upper edge portion 31BH of the ventral side band member 31 is positioned on the above-described virtual straight line Lu at a position other than the notch 37, and the back side band member 41 The upper edge portion 41BH was also located on the virtual straight line Lu over the entire length in the lateral direction. However, it is not limited to this. For example, as shown in FIG. 8A, the shape of the upper edge portion 31BH of the ventral side belt member 31 at a position other than the notch 37 is a downwardly convex arc shape, and the upper edge portion 41BH of the back side belt member 41 The shape may also be a downwardly convex arc shape over the entire length in the lateral direction. In other words, the upper edge 31BH of the ventral belt member 31 may be partially or entirely located below the virtual straight line Lu at a position other than the notch 37, or the upper edge of the back belt member 41. 41BH may also be located partially or entirely below the virtual straight line Lu. Furthermore, the upper edge portion 31BH of the ventral side belt member 31 and the upper edge portion 41BH of the back side belt member 41 may not coincide with each other in the vertical direction. For example, as shown in FIG. 8B, the upper edge portion 31BH of the abdominal band member 31 may be positioned below the upper edge portion 41BH of the back side band member 41, or vice versa. This may be partial in the lateral direction or over the entire length. In this case, the maximum values L31BHd and L41BHd of the vertical separation distances of the upper edge portions 31BH and 41BH from the virtual straight line Lu at positions other than the notch portion 37 are selected from a range of 1 mm to 40 mm, for example. .
 上述の実施形態等では、図2に示すように、腹側帯部材31と背側帯部材41とが横方向の端部31e,41eで接合されることによって、おむつ1の横方向の端部1ewが謂わば接合部の形態で形成されていたが、何等これに限らない。例えば、図9に示すように、一つの帯部材51が横方向の両側においてそれぞれ折り返されることにより、おむつ1の横方向の各端部1ew,1ewが折り曲げ部51bn,51bnの形態で形成されても良い。なお、この場合には、帯部材51のうちの折り返された各部分51f,51fは、それぞれ吸収性本体10において背側部40を構成する部分10p2に接合されるとともに、同帯部材51のうちで上記折り返された各部分51f,51f同士の間の部分51cは、吸収性本体10において腹側部30を構成する部分10p1に接合されることになる。 In the above-described embodiment and the like, as shown in FIG. 2, the abdomen side band member 31 and the back side band member 41 are joined at the end parts 31 e and 41 e in the horizontal direction, so that the end part 1 ew in the horizontal direction of the diaper 1 is Although it was formed in the form of a so-called joint, it is not limited to this. For example, as shown in FIG. 9, one band member 51 is folded on both sides in the lateral direction, so that the respective end portions 1ew and 1ew in the lateral direction of the diaper 1 are formed in the form of bent portions 51bn and 51bn. Also good. In this case, the folded portions 51f and 51f of the band member 51 are respectively joined to the portion 10p2 constituting the back side portion 40 in the absorbent main body 10, and among the band member 51 The part 51c between the folded parts 51f and 51f is joined to the part 10p1 constituting the ventral part 30 in the absorbent main body 10.
 上述の実施形態等では、パンツ型使い捨ておむつの一例として3ピースタイプのおむつ1を例示したが、何等これに限らない。例えば、おむつの外装をなす外装シートを第1部品として有し、外装シートの肌側面に固定される吸収性本体を第2部品として有した2ピースタイプのパンツ型使い捨ておむつに、本発明の構成を適用しても良い。また、略砂時計形状のトップシートと略砂時計形状のバックシートとの間に吸収体が介挿された形態のパンツ型使い捨ておむつに、本発明の構成を適用しても良い。 In the above-described embodiment and the like, the three-piece type diaper 1 is illustrated as an example of the pants-type disposable diaper, but the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, a two-piece type pants-type disposable diaper having an exterior sheet that forms an exterior of a diaper as a first part and an absorbent main body fixed to the skin side surface of the exterior sheet as a second part. May be applied. In addition, the configuration of the present invention may be applied to a pants-type disposable diaper in which an absorber is interposed between a substantially hourglass-shaped top sheet and a substantially hourglass-shaped back sheet.
