複合シートの製造方法Method of manufacturing composite sheet
 本開示は、複合シートの製造方法に関する。 The present disclosure relates to a method of manufacturing a composite sheet.
 従来、伸縮力を有する複合シートの製造方法は公知である。例えば、特許文献1には、綺麗に配列した多数の凸状部を有する伸縮力を有する複合シートの製造方法が開示されている。 Heretofore, methods for producing a composite sheet having a stretching force are known. For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a method of manufacturing a composite sheet having a stretching force having a large number of convex portions arranged neatly.
特開2009-160919号公報JP, 2009-160919, A
 特許文献1に開示された発明に係る複合シートでは、機械方向において、伸縮力の大きい部分と、伸縮力の小さい部分とを有する複合シートを製造することが困難であった。 In the composite sheet according to the invention disclosed in Patent Document 1, it has been difficult to manufacture a composite sheet having a portion with high expansion force and a portion with low expansion force in the machine direction.
 本発明の課題は、機械方向において、伸縮力の大きい部分と、伸縮力の小さい部分とを有する複合シートを容易に製造することができる複合シートの製造方法を提供することにある。 An object of the present invention is to provide a method for producing a composite sheet capable of easily producing a composite sheet having a portion having a large stretching force and a portion having a small stretching force in the machine direction.
 本発明は、(a)機械方向へ搬送された第1シートに前記機械方向へ延びる連続弾性体を固定する工程と、(b)前記第1シートに固定された1本の前記連続弾性体のうちの一部を前記機械方向において間隔を空けて切断する工程と、(c)前記第1シートと前記第2シートとの間に前記連続弾性体を介在させた状態で前記第1シートと前記第2シートとを互いに接合する工程とを含む複合シートの製造方法に向けられる。 The present invention comprises the steps of: (a) fixing a continuous elastic body extending in the machine direction to the first sheet conveyed in the machine direction; (b) one continuous elastic body fixed to the first sheet And (c) cutting the first sheet and the second sheet while interposing the continuous elastic body between the first sheet and the second sheet. And b. Bonding the second sheet to one another.
 前記b工程において、切断部分における前記連続弾性体の残存部分の前記機械方向と交差する交差方向の寸法を、切断部分を有していない前記連続弾性体の前記交差方向における寸法より小さくする。よって、連続弾性体は、切断部分において交差方向の寸法が小さくなるため、1本の連続弾性体において弾性力が大きい部分と、弾性力が小さい部分とを有することができる。このため、機械方向において、伸縮力が大きい部分と、伸縮力が小さい部分とを有する複合シートを容易に製造することができる。 In step b, the dimension in the cross direction intersecting the machine direction of the remaining portion of the continuous elastic body in the cut portion is smaller than the dimension in the cross direction of the continuous elastic body having no cut portion. Therefore, since the dimension of the cross direction in a cutting part becomes small, a continuous elastic body can have a part with large elastic power, and a part with small elastic power in one continuous elastic body. For this reason, in the machine direction, it is possible to easily manufacture a composite sheet having a portion with a large stretch force and a portion with a small stretch force.
 前記b工程において、前記連続弾性体の前記交差方向における寸法よりも、前記交差方向の長さ寸法が小さい切断具で前記連続弾性体の一部と、前記連続弾性体と厚さ方向に重なる前記第1及び第2シートの少なくとも一方を切断する。このため、第1及び第2シートにおける切断部分の面積が狭い複合シートを提供することができる。 In the step b, the cutting tool having a length dimension in the cross direction smaller than the dimension in the cross direction of the continuous elastic body overlaps a portion of the continuous elastic body in the thickness direction with the continuous elastic body Cutting at least one of the first and second sheets. For this reason, it is possible to provide a composite sheet in which the area of the cut portion in the first and second sheets is narrow.
 前記b工程において、前記連続弾性体の前記交差方向における寸法よりも、前記交差方向の長さ寸法が大きい切断具で前記連続弾性体の一部と、前記連続弾性体と前記厚さ方向に重なる前記第1及び第2シートの少なくとも一方と、前記連続弾性体と前記厚さ方向に重ならない前記第1及び第2シートの少なくとも一方とを切断する。このため、第1及び第2シートにおける切断部分の面積が広い複合シートを提供することができる。 In the step b, a portion of the continuous elastic body overlaps the continuous elastic body in the thickness direction with a cutting tool having a length dimension in the cross direction larger than a size in the cross direction of the continuous elastic body At least one of the first and second sheets and at least one of the first and second sheets not overlapping the continuous elastic body in the thickness direction are cut. For this reason, the composite sheet in which the area of the cutting part in the 1st and 2nd sheet is large can be provided.
 前記連続弾性体の周面に接着剤を塗布した後、前記c工程において、前記接着剤によって前記連続弾性体を前記第1及び第2シートにそれぞれ固定し、前記c工程後の前記b工程において、前記連続弾性体の一部を前記切断具によって切断する。よって、第1シート及び第2シートに固定された連続弾性体を切断するため、連続弾性体の切断個所の精度を向上することができる。 After applying an adhesive to the circumferential surface of the continuous elastic body, the continuous elastic body is fixed to the first and second sheets by the adhesive in the step c, and the step b after the step c is performed. And a part of the continuous elastic body is cut by the cutting tool. Therefore, since the continuous elastic body fixed to the 1st sheet and the 2nd sheet is cut, the precision of the cutting part of a continuous elastic body can be improved.
 前記b工程において、前記連続弾性体の前記交差方向における両側縁よりも内側において、前記連続弾性体の一部を前記切断具によって切断する。このため、連続弾性体を切断する工程において連続弾性体の切れ端が発生することがないため、複合シートに切れ端が入ることがなく、複合シートの美観を向上することができる。 In the step b, a part of the continuous elastic body is cut by the cutting tool inside the both side edges in the cross direction of the continuous elastic body. For this reason, since a cut end of the continuous elastic body is not generated in the step of cutting the continuous elastic body, the cut end does not enter the composite sheet, and the appearance of the composite sheet can be improved.
 前記切断具は、前記機械方向に対して傾斜するようにベース部に固定してある。このため、連続弾性体を切断するとき、ベース部に加わる力を機械方向へ分散することができる。 The cutting tool is fixed to the base so as to be inclined with respect to the machine direction. Therefore, when cutting the continuous elastic body, the force applied to the base can be dispersed in the machine direction.
 前記a工程及び前記c工程後の前記b工程において、前記第1及び第2シートに前記切断部分を形成し、(d)前記b工程後、前記第1及び第2シートの少なくとも一方に、防水性の第3シートを固定及び積層する工程を有する。このため、第1及び第2シートは切断部分を有し、通気性を有する一方、第3シートは切断部分を有していないため、防水性を維持することができ、多機能の複合シートを提供することができる。 Forming the cut portion on the first and second sheets in the step b after the steps a and c, and (d) waterproofing at least one of the first and second sheets after the step b Fixing and laminating the third sheet of elasticity. Therefore, the first and second sheets have a cut portion and are breathable, while the third sheet does not have a cut portion, so that waterproofness can be maintained, and a multifunctional composite sheet can be obtained. Can be provided.
 本発明の1つ以上の実施形態に係る複合シートの製造方法によれば、切断部分では伸縮力が小さくなる一方、非切断部分では、切断部分よりも伸縮力が大きくなるため、1本の連続弾性体が、弾性力の大きい箇所と、弾性力の小さい箇所とを有することができる。よって、本発明によれば、機械方向において、弾性力の大きい部分と、弾性力の小さい部分とを有する複合シートを容易に製造することができる。 According to the method of manufacturing a composite sheet according to one or more embodiments of the present invention, the stretch force is reduced at the cut portion, while the stretch force is greater at the non-cut portion than at the cut portion. The elastic body can have a portion having a large elastic force and a portion having a small elastic force. Therefore, according to the present invention, it is possible to easily manufacture a composite sheet having a large elastic force and a small elastic force in the machine direction.

Cutting Section 130 (Step b)>
The cutting unit 130 includes a cutting roller 132 having a plurality of cutters (cutting tools) 131 on its circumferential surface, as shown in FIG. The cutter 131 is disposed ten on the circumferential surface of the roller in the cross direction CD, and a plurality of cutters 131 are disposed in the circumferential direction at equal intervals, for example. The arrangement interval of the cutters 131 in the cross direction CD of the cutting roller 132 is the same as the interval of the cross direction CD of the continuous elastic body 103.
 また、切断部130及び接合部140は、機械方向MDにおいて、図2中、左方に位置する第3ローラ133と、図2中、右方に位置する第4ローラ134との一対のローラ133,134と、これらのローラ133,134にかけ渡された無端ベルト135とを有し、第1シート101及び連続弾性体103を押圧する押圧部136とを有している。第3ローラ133は、切断ローラ132の下方に配置してあり、第4ローラ134は、接合部140のローラ141の下方に配置してある。 Further, the cutting unit 130 and the bonding unit 140 are a pair of rollers 133 of the third roller 133 located on the left in FIG. 2 and the fourth roller 134 located on the right in FIG. 2 in the machine direction MD. 134 and an endless belt 135 passed over the rollers 133 and 134, and has a pressing portion 136 for pressing the first sheet 101 and the continuous elastic body 103. The third roller 133 is disposed below the cutting roller 132, and the fourth roller 134 is disposed below the roller 141 of the joint portion 140.
 図4は、切断部130において、交差方向CDの連続弾性体103及び第1シート101の拡大断面図であり、図5は、切断ローラ132のカッター131の配列を示すため、切断ローラ132の周面を、機械方向MD及び交差方向CDに展開した展開図である。カッター131は、切断ローラ132の周方向R(図5における機械方向MD)及び交差方向CDにおいて、例えば、等間隔に配置してある。図4を参照すると、各カッター131の交差方向CDにおける寸法L11が、連続弾性体103の交差方向CDにおける繊度の寸法(連続弾性体103の交差方向CDにおける繊度の寸法は、連続弾性体103に力が加えられていない状態において測定した径)よりも小さい。よって、カッター131によって、1本の連続弾性体103のうちの一部を切断すると、連続弾性体103における交差方向CDの中央部にはカッター131で切除されて切断部分104aが形成され(連続弾性体103の交差方向CDの寸法はL12である)、切断部分104aが存在する部分は伸縮性を喪失する一方、連続弾性体103における残余部分105は、伸縮性を維持している。 FIG. 4 is an enlarged cross-sectional view of the continuous elastic body 103 in the cross direction CD and the first sheet 101 in the cutting portion 130, and FIG. 5 shows the arrangement of the cutters 131 of the cutting roller 132. It is the expanded view which expand | deployed the surface to machine direction MD and cross direction CD. The cutters 131 are arranged at equal intervals, for example, in the circumferential direction R (the machine direction MD in FIG. 5) of the cutting roller 132 and the cross direction CD. Referring to FIG. 4, the dimension L 11 in the cross direction CD of each cutter 131 is the size of the fineness in the cross direction CD of the continuous elastic body 103 (the size of the fineness in the cross direction CD of the continuous elastic body 103 is the continuous elastic body 103). Smaller than the diameter measured when no force is applied. Therefore, when a part of one continuous elastic body 103 is cut by the cutter 131, the cut portion 104a is formed by cutting with the cutter 131 at the central part of the cross direction CD in the continuous elastic body 103 (continuous elasticity The dimension of the cross direction CD of the body 103 is L12), the portion where the cut portion 104a exists loses the stretchability, while the remaining portion 105 in the continuous elastic body 103 maintains the stretchability.
 カッター131によって、連続弾性体103を切断したとき、切断部分(切断された箇所を有する部分)104aの形成によって、切断部分104aを有する部分における連続弾性体103の交差方向CDの寸法が、切断部分104aを形成する前の連続弾性体103の交差方向CDの寸法よりも小さくなるため、切断部分104aを形成していない部分と比べ、伸縮力(弾性力)が低下する。切断部分104aを形成した後、切断部分104aを有する連続弾性体103における残余部分105の交差方向CDの寸法は、図4中、切断部分104aの右方の寸法がL13であり、切断部分104aの左方の寸法がL14であり、切断部分104aにおける連続弾性体103の残余部分105の交差方向CDの合計の寸法は、寸法L13と寸法L14の和であり、切断部分104aの交差方向CDの寸法L12だけ、切断部分104aを有していない連続弾性体103の交差方向CDの寸法よりも小さくなる。また、連続弾性体103の切断部分104aでは、厚さ方向Zにおいて、連続弾性体103と重なる第1シート101の一部も切断され、第1シート101に切断部分104bが形成される。 When the continuous elastic body 103 is cut by the cutter 131, the dimension of the cross direction CD of the continuous elastic body 103 in the portion having the cut portion 104a is a cut portion by the formation of the cut portion (the portion having the cut portion) 104a. Since it becomes smaller than the dimension of the cross direction CD of the continuous elastic body 103 before forming 104 a, the stretching force (elastic force) is reduced as compared with the portion where the cut portion 104 a is not formed. After forming the cut portion 104a, the dimension of the cross direction CD of the remaining portion 105 in the continuous elastic body 103 having the cut portion 104a is such that the right dimension of the cut portion 104a is L13 in FIG. The left dimension is L14, and the total dimension of the cross direction CD of the remaining portion 105 of the continuous elastic body 103 in the cut portion 104a is the sum of the dimension L13 and the dimension L14, and the dimension of the cross direction CD of the cut portion 104a The dimension L12 is smaller than the dimension of the cross direction CD of the continuous elastic body 103 not having the cut portion 104a. In the cut portion 104 a of the continuous elastic body 103, a part of the first sheet 101 overlapping the continuous elastic body 103 is also cut in the thickness direction Z, and the cut portion 104 b is formed in the first sheet 101.
 図6は、切断部130を通過させた後の第1シート101の平面図である。切断ローラ132のカッター131は、周方向において等間隔に配置してあるため、連続弾性体103の切断部分104a、第1シート101の切断部分104bとは、機械方向MDに間隔を空けて配置されることとなる。また、連続弾性体103の交差方向CDにおける両側縁103aよりも内側において、連続弾性体103の一部をカッター131によって切断する。このため、連続弾性体103を切断する工程において連続弾性体103の切れ端が発生することがないため、複合シート106に連続弾性体103の切れ端が入ることがなく、複合シート106の美観を向上することができる。 FIG. 6 is a plan view of the first sheet 101 after passing through the cutting unit 130. Since the cutters 131 of the cutting roller 132 are arranged at equal intervals in the circumferential direction, the cut portion 104 a of the continuous elastic body 103 and the cut portion 104 b of the first sheet 101 are arranged at intervals in the machine direction MD. The Rukoto. Further, a part of the continuous elastic body 103 is cut by the cutter 131 inside the both side edges 103 a in the cross direction CD of the continuous elastic body 103. For this reason, since a cut end of the continuous elastic body 103 is not generated in the step of cutting the continuous elastic body 103, the cut end of the continuous elastic body 103 does not enter the composite sheet 106, and the appearance of the composite sheet 106 is improved. be able to.
<接合部140(c工程)>
 図1及び図2に示すように、接合部140は、ローラ141と、押圧部136とによって構成してあり、ローラ141と、第4ローラ134の上部の無端ベルト135との間に、連続弾性体103を固定した第1シート101と、第2シート102とを供給し、第1シート101の上面に第2シート102を押し当て、連続弾性体103の周面に塗布した接着剤によって、第1シート101及び連続弾性体103の上方に、第2シート102を固定する。
<Joining portion 140 (step c)>
As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the joint portion 140 is constituted by the roller 141 and the pressing portion 136, and the continuous elasticity between the roller 141 and the endless belt 135 above the fourth roller 134 is achieved. The first sheet 101 to which the body 103 is fixed and the second sheet 102 are supplied, the second sheet 102 is pressed against the upper surface of the first sheet 101, and the adhesive applied to the circumferential surface of the continuous elastic body 103 The second sheet 102 is fixed above the first sheet 101 and the continuous elastic body 103.
 図7は、接合部140を通過させた後の複合シート106の平面図であり、図8は、図7の矢視VIII-VIIIの断面図である。複合シート106は、第1シート101と第2シート102との間に連続弾性体103を介在させた状態で、連続弾性体103の周面に塗布した接着剤によって、第1シート101と第2シート102とが互いに接合されている。 FIG. 7 is a plan view of the composite sheet 106 after passing through the joint portion 140, and FIG. 8 is a cross-sectional view of FIG. 7 along arrows VIII-VIII. The composite sheet 106 includes the first sheet 101 and the second sheet 102 with an adhesive applied to the circumferential surface of the continuous elastic body 103 with the continuous elastic body 103 interposed between the first sheet 101 and the second sheet 102. The sheet 102 is bonded to one another.
 カッター131によって形成された切断部分104a,104bを有する部分では、連続弾性体103の伸縮力が弱くなる一方、切断部分104a,104bを有していない非切断部分を有する部分では、切断部分104a,104bを有する部分よりも伸縮力が強くなるため、1本の連続弾性体103が、伸縮力の強い箇所と、伸縮力の弱い箇所とを有することができる。この実施形態の製造装置100では、連続弾性体103が横方向Xへ連続して延びるものであるため、連続弾性体103を交差方向CDに揺動する必要もなく、第1シート101を機械方向MDへ減速する必要もない。このため、第1及び第2シート101,102並びに連続弾性体103を機械方向MDへ高速で搬送することができる。 In the portion having the cut portions 104a and 104b formed by the cutter 131, the stretching force of the continuous elastic body 103 is weakened, while in the portion having the non-cut portion not having the cut portions 104a and 104b, the cut portion 104a, Since the stretching force is stronger than that of the portion having 104 b, one continuous elastic body 103 can have a portion with a strong stretching force and a portion with a weak stretching force. In the manufacturing apparatus 100 of this embodiment, since the continuous elastic body 103 extends continuously in the lateral direction X, there is no need to rock the continuous elastic body 103 in the cross direction CD, and the first sheet 101 can be machined in the machine direction. There is no need to slow down to MD. Therefore, the first and second sheets 101 and 102 and the continuous elastic body 103 can be transported at high speed in the machine direction MD.
<変形例1>
 図9は、切断ローラ132の変形例を示す、図5と同様の展開図である。この切断ローラ132では、各カッター131を、機械方向MD及び交差方向CDに対してそれぞれ傾斜するように配置してある。このため、連続弾性体103を切断するときにカッター131に加わる力を機械方向MDへ分散することができるとともに、カッター131を固定してある切断ローラ132のベース部132aに加わる力を分散し、ベース部132aが破損するのを抑えることができる。
<Modification 1>
FIG. 9 is a developed view similar to FIG. 5, showing a modified example of the cutting roller 132. As shown in FIG. In the cutting roller 132, the cutters 131 are disposed to be inclined with respect to the machine direction MD and the cross direction CD, respectively. Therefore, when cutting the continuous elastic body 103, the force applied to the cutter 131 can be dispersed in the machine direction MD, and the force applied to the base portion 132a of the cutting roller 132 to which the cutter 131 is fixed is dispersed. Damage to the base portion 132a can be suppressed.
 図10は、図9に示すカッター131を有する切断ローラ132を有する製造装置100を用いて得られた複合シート106の平面図である。各カッター131は、機械方向MD及び交差方向CDに対して傾斜するように配置してあるため、カッター131によって形成される第1シート101及び連続弾性体103の切断部分104a,104bは、機械方向MD及び交差方向CDに対してそれぞれ傾斜している。なお、カッター131に接触する連続弾性体103の接触面積を広くすれば、カッター131に加わる力を分散することができる。例えば、カッター131の機械方向MDの寸法を大きくするとともに、交差方向CDの寸法を大きくすれば、カッター131に接触する連続弾性体103の接触面積を広くすることができる。 FIG. 10 is a plan view of a composite sheet 106 obtained using the manufacturing apparatus 100 having the cutting roller 132 having the cutter 131 shown in FIG. Since each cutter 131 is disposed to be inclined with respect to the machine direction MD and the cross direction CD, the first sheet 101 formed by the cutter 131 and the cut portions 104 a and 104 b of the continuous elastic body 103 are machine direction It inclines with respect to MD and cross direction CD, respectively. In addition, if the contact area of the continuous elastic body 103 in contact with the cutter 131 is increased, the force applied to the cutter 131 can be dispersed. For example, if the size of the machine direction MD of the cutter 131 is increased and the size of the cross direction CD is increased, the contact area of the continuous elastic body 103 in contact with the cutter 131 can be increased.

As shown in FIG. 11, in the cross direction CD, the cutting roller 132 has a cutter existing area 131a in which five cutters 131 exist on the front side in FIG. 11, while the back side in FIG. The cutter nonexistence region 131b in which the cutter 131 is not disposed is disposed in the above.

<変形例3>
 図示省略するが、変形例3の切断ローラは、周方向において、カッター131が存在するカッター存在域と、カッター131を配置していないカッター非存在域とを交互に配置してある。例えば、切断ローラ132の周方向において、半周部分には、カッター存在域を配置する一方、残りの半周部分には、カッター非存在域を配置してもよい。このような切断ローラを有する製造装置100を用いて複合シート106を形成すると、図13に示すように、機械方向MDにおいて、図13中の右方には、切断部分104aが配置された第1伸縮域151が配置されており、図13中の左方には、切断部分104aが配置されておらず、第1伸縮域151よりも伸縮力が大きい第2伸縮域152が配置された複合シート106を形成することができる。
<Modification 3>
Although not shown, in the circumferential direction, the cutting roller of Modification 3 has a cutter existing area in which the cutter 131 exists and a cutter nonexistent area in which the cutter 131 is not arranged alternately arranged. For example, in the circumferential direction of the cutting roller 132, the cutter existing area may be disposed in a half circumferential part, while the cutter nonexistent area may be disposed in the remaining semi circumferential part. When the composite sheet 106 is formed by using the manufacturing apparatus 100 having such a cutting roller, as shown in FIG. 13, in the machine direction MD, a first cut portion 104 a is disposed on the right side in FIG. 13. A composite sheet in which the stretchable region 151 is disposed, the cut portion 104 a is not disposed on the left side in FIG. 13, and the second stretchable region 152 having a greater stretchability than the first stretchable region 151 is disposed. 106 can be formed.

In this composite sheet 106, the lower five continuous elastic bodies 103 in FIG. 14 have the cut portions 104a only on the right side in FIG. 14, but do not have the cut portions 104a on the left side. Further, in FIG. 14, the upper five continuous elastic bodies 103 do not have at least one cut portion. For this reason, in the composite sheet 106, the cut portion 104a is disposed at the lower right corner of the four corners in FIG. In the three corner portions of the second stretchable region 152, a second stretchable region 152 having a greater stretchability than the first stretchable region 151 is disposed.

 複数条のウエスト弾性体27のうち、図20中、上方に配置してある上方ウエスト弾性体27Aの繊度は、下方に配置してある下方ウエスト弾性体27Bの繊度よりも大きく、例えば、上方ウエスト弾性体27Aの伸長倍率と、下方ウエスト弾性体27Bの伸長倍率とは同一であるため、上方ウエスト弾性体27Aが配置してある上方伸縮域28Aの伸縮力(収縮力)は、下方ウエスト弾性体27Bが配置してある下方伸縮域28Bの伸縮力よりも大きい。 Of the plurality of elastic waist bodies 27, in FIG. 20, the fineness of the upper waist elastic body 27A disposed above is larger than the fineness of the lower waist elastic body 27B disposed below, for example, the upper waist Since the expansion ratio of the elastic body 27A and the expansion ratio of the lower waist elastic body 27B are the same, the expansion and contraction force (retraction force) of the upper elastic region 28A in which the upper waist elastic body 27A is disposed is the lower waist elastic body. The expansion force of the lower expansion zone 28B where the 27B is disposed is larger.
 下方ウエスト弾性体27Bは、横方向Xの中央部において、接着剤を塗布していない非塗布域を有し、非塗布域における横方向の中央部で切断、収縮され、下方ウエスト弾性体27Bが存在しない非収縮域36が形成されている。 The lower waist elastic body 27B has a non-coated area to which the adhesive is not applied at the center in the lateral direction X, and is cut and shrunk at the lateral center in the non-applied area. A non-contractile area 36 is formed which is not present.
 図21は、図20の一部拡大図である。10本の下方ウエスト弾性体27Bの横方向Xの内側には、切断部分104aが形成されていない一方、横方向Xの外側には、切断部分104aが形成されている。下方ウエスト弾性体27Bの切断部分104aが形成されている部分には第1伸縮域29Bが形成され、切断部分104aが形成されていない部分には、第1伸縮域29Bよりも伸縮力が大きい第2伸縮域29Cが形成される。 FIG. 21 is a partially enlarged view of FIG. While the cut portion 104 a is not formed on the inner side in the lateral direction X of the ten lower waist elastic bodies 27 B, the cut portion 104 a is formed on the outer side of the lateral direction X. A first stretchable area 29B is formed in a portion where the cut portion 104a of the lower waist elastic body 27B is formed, and in a portion where the cut portion 104a is not formed, an elastic force is larger than the first stretchable area 29B. 2 A stretchable area 29C is formed.
 以上のように前後ウエスト域13,14を形成することによって、各弾性域の伸縮力の大きさは、上方伸縮域28A>第2伸縮域29C>第1伸縮域29Bとなる。 By forming the front and rear waist regions 13 and 14 as described above, the magnitude of the stretching force of each elastic region becomes upper stretchable region 28A> second stretchable region 29C> first stretchable region 29B.
