Description

Absorbent articles for animals

The present invention relates to an absorbent article for animals attached to the abdomen of an animal, such as a disposable diaper for pets, in particular, an absorbent article for animals used while being supported by a support attached to the back of the animal. It relates to an article.

As an absorbent article for animals which absorbs and holds excrement excreted by pets such as dogs and cats, disposable diapers are known which are disposed on the abdomen of animals so as to cover the excretory port of animals. .

As such an absorbent article for animals, for example, Patent Document 1 discloses a disposable diaper which covers only the abdomen of a pet, and a dedicated suspender for fixing it to the pet. According to the disposable diaper and the dedicated suspender disclosed in Patent Document 1, only the disposable diaper is disposable, and the suspender can be repeatedly used. Therefore, it is considered that the cost can be reduced.

JP 2007-330246 A

However, in the disposable diaper disclosed in Patent Document 1, the above-mentioned dedicated suspenders hold the both ends in the longitudinal direction of the disposable diaper with two clips separated in the width direction (that is, the direction corresponding to the front-rear direction of the animal). If the animal moves during installation of the disposable diaper and suspender, the two clips of the suspender shift so as to approach each other in the back and forth direction of the animal, and accordingly the disposable diaper held by the two clips There was a risk that it would be shrunk in the back and forth direction of the animal while gathering and collecting chopsticks. In particular, when the absorbent body of the disposable diaper is thus shrunk in the back and forth direction of the animal, and if sagging or crushing occurs, not only the absorption performance of the absorbent is not sufficiently exhibited, but also along the waistline direction of the animal in the disposable diaper. Since a plurality of large wrinkles and wrinkles are formed and a gap is easily formed between the abdominal surface of the animal and the paper diaper, animal excrement easily leaks to the outside through the gap.

Therefore, the present invention is an absorbent article for an animal attached to the abdomen of an animal while being supported by a support attached to the back of the animal, and absorbing even when the animal moves at the time of attachment. It is an object of the present invention to provide an absorbent article which makes it difficult for the sexual article to shrink in the back and forth direction of the animal and makes it difficult for the animal's excrement to leak out.

One aspect (Aspect 1) of the present invention is an absorbent article for animals attached to the abdomen of an animal while being supported by a support attached to the back of the animal,
The absorbent article has, in a plan view, a longitudinal direction corresponding to the direction around the body of the animal at the time of wearing, and a width direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction and corresponding to the longitudinal direction of the animal at the time of wearing An absorber disposed at a position including a central portion where the central axes of the direction and the width direction intersect, and extending in the width direction at each of both longitudinal end portions and removable with respect to the support And an engaging portion that engages with the
Each of the engaging portions is the absorbent article having a widthwise length equal to or greater than the widthwise length of the absorber.

In the absorbent article of this aspect, each of the engaging portions extending in the width direction at each of both longitudinal end portions has a width direction length equal to or greater than the width direction length of the absorbent body. In the engaging portion, the rigidity in the width direction (specifically, the rigidity against the force applied to be compressed in the width direction) can be easily secured at least in the width direction or more of the absorbent body, and the absorbent article Make it difficult for the absorbent article to shrink in the fore-and-aft direction of the animal even when the animal moves, and to make it difficult to cause deflection or crushing in the width direction of the absorber (ie, the direction corresponding to the fore-aft direction of the animal) Can. As a result, the absorbent article of this embodiment can not only fully exhibit the absorbent performance of the absorbent when worn, but also causes the absorbent article to have a plurality of large wrinkles and wrinkles along the direction around the animal's torso. Since it is difficult to form and a gap due to wrinkles or wrinkles is difficult to be formed between the abdominal surface of the animal and the absorbent article, the absorbent article is easily kept in close contact with the abdomen of the animal, and as a result, It becomes difficult for the animal's excrement to leak out.

In the present specification, the term “slip” refers to the contraction of an object such as an absorbent article or a support while gathering a plurality of wrinkles or wrinkles in a predetermined direction (for example, the width direction). The deformation that shrinks as it is sometimes referred to as "yore".

Moreover, in another aspect (aspect 2) of the present invention, in the absorbent article of the above-mentioned aspect 1, the absorbent article has a trunk-facing surface facing the trunk of an animal when worn in the thickness direction, and the trunk-facing surface It has a non-body facing surface opposite to the surface, and each of the engaging portions is disposed on the non-body facing surface.

In the absorbent article of this embodiment, since the engaging portion is disposed on the non-body facing surface, the support is the non-body facing surface of the absorbent article when the absorbent article and the support are attached to the animal's body. The engagement portion at the back is engaged so as to cover from the back side, and it becomes difficult for the animal or other animal equipped with such an absorbent article to peel off the absorbent article, and the longitudinal direction of the absorbent article (ie, Since both ends of the direction corresponding to the direction around the torso of the animal are located relatively proximal to the body surface of the animal, excrement such as urine excreted from the animal travels along the absorbent article Even if it diffuses in the direction around the animal's torso, the excrement can be made difficult to leak out. Thereby, the absorbent article of this aspect can make it difficult for the above-mentioned excrement leakage to occur more stably and reliably.

In still another aspect (aspect 3) of the present invention, in the absorbent article of the above-mentioned aspect 1, the absorbent article has a trunk-facing surface facing the trunk of an animal when worn in the thickness direction, and the trunk-facing surface And the non-body facing surface on the opposite side, and each of the engaging portions is disposed on the body facing surface.

In the absorbent article of this embodiment, since the engaging portion is disposed on the body facing surface, the support is disposed on the back of the animal when the absorbent article and the support are attached to the animal's trunk, The absorbent article is placed along the abdomen and around the torso of the animal, and the engaging portion is engaged with the non-body facing surface of the support, and the absorbent article is engaged while holding the animal hair with the support. By fixing, the absorbent article can be attached to the abdomen of the animal without the animal hair being caught in the engaging part of the absorbent article and the support. Thereby, the absorbent article of this aspect can be more accurately and accurately attached to the abdomen of an animal, and leakage of animal excrement can be further prevented.

In still another aspect (Aspect 4) of the present invention, in the absorbent article of the above-mentioned aspect 1, the absorbent article has a trunk-facing surface facing the trunk of an animal when worn in the thickness direction, and the trunk-facing surface And one of the engaging portions disposed at each of the longitudinal end portions is disposed on the non-body facing surface. The other said engagement part is arrange | positioned at the said fuselage | body opposing surface.

In the absorbent article of this aspect, for example, one lying part is placed on the non-body facing surface, and the other engaging part is placed on the body facing surface. When attaching the absorbent article and the support, the first engaging part disposed on the non-body facing surface of the absorbent article is placed under the animal torso in a lying state On the lower side of the animal body, one end in the longitudinal direction of the absorbent article is positioned relatively proximal to the animal body surface, and excrement such as urine excreted from the animal is present. The excrement can be made less likely to leak to the outside even if the absorbent article is diffused toward the lower side of the animal body, while the absorbent article can be made on the upper side of the lying animal body The other engagement portion disposed on the body facing surface of the support By being engaged with the non-facing surface, it is easy to adjust the tightness, tightness, position, etc. of the absorbent article to the trunk of the lying animal, and the absorbent article is attached to the animal trunk in a more appropriate state can do. Thereby, the absorbent article of the present embodiment can appropriately wear the absorbent article even on a lying animal such as a bedridden patient, and the action and effect exhibited by the above-mentioned absorbent article can be accurately It can be exhibited effectively.

In still another aspect (aspect 5) of the present invention, in the absorbent article according to any one of the above-mentioned aspects 1 to 4, each of the engaging portions is a longitudinal axis of the absorbent article at both ends in the longitudinal direction. It is arranged at the position including the direction edge.

In the absorbent article of this aspect, since the engaging portions are respectively disposed at positions including the longitudinal edge of the absorbent article, when the absorbent article is attached, the longitudinal edge is distorted and the absorbent property resulting therefrom It is possible to further reduce the occurrence of positional deviation, peeling, etc. of the article. Thereby, the absorbent article of this aspect can exhibit stably the effect and function which are exhibited by the above-mentioned absorbent article over a long period of time.

In still another aspect (aspect 6) of the present invention, in the absorbent article according to any of the above-mentioned aspects 1 to 5, the absorbent article has a space between the absorber and the engaging portion in a plan view. It has relatively low rigidity and low rigidity.

Since the absorbent article of this embodiment has a low rigidity portion between the absorber and the engaging part in plan view, the absorbent article is hung on the absorbent article by the action of an animal or the like at the time of wearing the absorbent article. Forces and deformations can be buffered by deformation of such low-rigidity parts. Thereby, the absorbent article of the present embodiment can easily maintain a state of being in close contact with the abdomen of the animal at the time of wearing, and can make positional deviation of the absorbent article less likely to occur. The effects can be exhibited more stably.

In still another aspect (aspect 7) of the present invention, in the absorbent article according to any one of the above aspects 1 to 5, the absorbent article is an overlapping portion in which the absorbent body and the engaging portion overlap in the thickness direction. Have.

Since the absorbent article of this aspect has an overlapping portion in which the absorbent body and the engaging portion overlap in the thickness direction, when the absorbent article and the support are attached, the absorbent article is obtained from the support through the overlapping portion. It is easy to ensure a predetermined rigidity (specifically, the rigidity against the force applied to compress in the back and forth direction of the animal) continuously along the circumference of the animal's torso, and absorbability The article can be made more difficult to shrink in the back and forth direction of the animal. Thereby, the absorbent article of this aspect can make it more difficult for leakage of excrement to occur more reliably.

In still another aspect (aspect 8) of the present invention, in the absorbent article according to any one of the above-described aspects 1 to 7, each of the engaging portions is formed by a hook member.

In the absorbent article according to this aspect, since the engaging portion is formed by the hook member, the relatively high-rigidity hook member facilitates securing the rigidity of the engaging portion, and the absorbent article is oriented in the longitudinal direction of the animal. Furthermore, it can be made difficult to shrink.
Furthermore, when the engaging portion of the absorbent article is formed by the hook member, the engaging portion (support side engaging portion) of the support engaging with the hook member receives the engaging protrusion of the hook member. It will be formed by a member (e.g., a loop member etc.), and such a receiving member is generally more durable against repeated attaching and detaching operations of the engaging member than the hook member (i.e. structural failure Since it does not easily occur, there is also an advantage that the above-mentioned support can be repeatedly used for a longer period of time.
In addition, since the absorbent article in which the engagement part was formed by the hook member is discarded every time it is used, when attaching the absorbent article to an animal, the hook member of a new absorbent article is usually Is engaged with the support-side engaging portion (for example, a receiving member such as a loop member), and the function and effect exerted by the above-mentioned absorbent article can be stably exhibited.

According to still another aspect (aspect 9) of the present invention, there is provided an excrement disposal set for animals, comprising the absorbent article of any of the above-mentioned aspects 1 to 8 and the support.

According to the excrement disposal set of this aspect, the absorbent article of any of the above-mentioned aspects 1 to 8 is used as the absorbent article, the absorbent article is unlikely to shrink in the longitudinal direction of the animal, and the absorbent article is Since it is difficult to form a plurality of large wrinkles or wrinkles along the waist direction, it is difficult to form a gap caused by the wrinkles or wrinkles between the abdominal surface of the animal and the absorbent article, resulting in excrement Can be difficult to leak out.

According to yet another aspect (an aspect 10) of the present invention, there is provided an excrement disposal set for animals, comprising the absorbent article according to any one of the aspects 1 to 7 and the support.
The support has, in a plan view, a first direction corresponding to the direction around the torso of the animal when attached, and a second direction orthogonal to the first direction and corresponding to the anteroposterior direction of the animal when attached. In the thickness direction, it has a torso facing surface that faces the animal's torso at the time of wearing, and a torso non-facing surface that is opposite to the torso facing surface,
Furthermore, the supports extend in the second direction on the body facing surfaces at both ends in the first direction, respectively, and are detachably engaged with the corresponding engaging portions of the absorbent article. An excrement disposal set having a support side engaging portion formed of a hook member.

In the excrement disposal set of this aspect, since the support has the support side engaging portions on the body facing surfaces at both ends in the first direction, when the absorbent article and the support are attached to the animal's body The support side engaging portion of the support engages with the back side of the absorbent article so as to cover the engaging portion on the non-body facing surface of the absorbent article, and the animal or other animal equipped with such absorbent article By making it difficult to peel off the absorbent article, both ends of the absorbent article in the longitudinal direction (that is, the direction corresponding to the direction around the animal's torso) are positioned relatively proximal to the animal's torso surface Even if excrement such as urine excreted from the animal spreads along the absorbent article in the direction around the animal's waist, the excrement can be made less likely to leak out.
Furthermore, the excrement disposal set of this aspect is a hook member having a relatively high rigidity because the support side engaging portion is a hook member extending in a second direction (that is, a direction corresponding to the front-rear direction of the animal). Thus, the rigidity of the support side engaging portion in the second direction can be easily secured, and the absorbent article engaged and fixed to the support side engaging portion can be made more difficult to shrink in the longitudinal direction of the animal.
As mentioned above, the excretion disposal set of this aspect can make it hard to produce the leakage of the excretion of an animal more stably and reliably.

According to still another aspect (an aspect 11) of the present invention, there is provided an excrement disposal set for animals, comprising the absorbent article according to any one of the aspects 1 to 7 and the support.
The support has, in a plan view, a first direction corresponding to the direction around the torso of the animal when attached, and a second direction orthogonal to the first direction and corresponding to the anteroposterior direction of the animal when attached. In the thickness direction, it has a torso facing surface that faces the animal's torso at the time of wearing, and a torso non-facing surface that is opposite to the torso facing surface,
Furthermore, the support body extends in the second direction on the non-body facing surface of both ends in the first direction, and is detachably engaged with each of the corresponding engaging portions of the absorbent article. It is the said excrement disposal set which has the support side engaging part which consists of a hook member.

In the excrement disposal set of this aspect, when the support has the support side engaging portions on the non-body facing surfaces of the both ends in the first direction, when attaching the absorbent article and the support to the animal's body Then, after the support is placed on the back of the animal, the absorbent article is placed along the abdomen and around the torso of the animal, and the engaging portion is engaged with the non-body facing surface of the support. The absorbent article is attached to the abdomen of the animal so that the animal hair is not caught in the engaging portion between the absorbent article and the support by engaging and fixing the absorbent article while holding the hair of the support with the support. Can.
Furthermore, the excrement disposal set of this aspect is a hook member having a relatively high rigidity because the support side engaging portion is a hook member extending in a second direction (that is, a direction corresponding to the front-rear direction of the animal). Thus, the rigidity of the support side engaging portion in the second direction can be easily secured, and the absorbent article engaged and fixed to the support side engaging portion can be made more difficult to shrink in the longitudinal direction of the animal.
As described above, the excrement disposal set of the present embodiment can be more accurately and accurately attached to the abdomen of the animal, and leakage of the animal excrement can be further prevented.

In still another aspect (aspect 12) of the present invention, in the excrement disposal set according to the above aspect 10 or 11, each of the support side engaging portions is provided at each of both ends in the first direction, respectively. It is disposed at a position including one direction edge.

In the waste disposal set of this aspect, since the support side engaging portion is disposed at the position including the first direction end edge of the support, when the absorbent article and the support are attached, the first direction of the support Wrinkling at the edge and positional deviation or peeling of the support and the absorbent article caused thereby can be further prevented. Thereby, the excrement processing set of this aspect can exhibit stably the effect produced by the above-mentioned excrement processing set for a longer period of time.

According to the present invention, an absorbent article for an animal attached to the abdomen of an animal while being supported by a support attached to the back of the animal, which absorbs even when the animal moves when attached It is possible to provide an absorbent article which makes it difficult for the sexual article to shrink in the back and forth direction of the animal and makes it difficult for the animal's excrement to leak out.

The thread-like elastic members 14E and 14'E extending in the longitudinal direction L are arranged such that the inner side end portions are respectively folded toward the top sheet 11 side and sandwiched by the folded end portions. It is done. Here, FIG. 7 is a perspective view schematically showing a state in which the disposable diaper 1 is fixed to the support 2. When each of the side sheet 14 on one side and the side sheet 14 'on the other side in the width direction W described above is configured in this way, the width of each side sheet when wearing the disposable diaper 1 on the abdomen of an animal Since the inward end of the direction W can be erected from the surface sheet 11 side by the contraction action of the elastic members 14E and 14'E, a solid gather G as shown in FIG. 7 can be formed, so from the animal Leakage of excreted excrement can be further reduced.

In the present invention, the band-like hydrophobic sheet-like member that can be used as the side sheet of the absorbent article for animals is not particularly limited as long as it can function as a leak-proof wall of the absorbent article. And any non-woven fabric having hydrophobicity (for example, spun lace non-woven fabric, spun-bonded non-woven fabric, thermal bond non-woven fabric, melt-blown non-woven fabric, air-through non-woven fabric, etc.) can be used. Furthermore, the constituent fibers of such non-woven fabrics are also not particularly limited, and, for example, in addition to synthetic fibers such as polyolefin fibers, polyester fibers, and polyamide fibers, cellulose fibers such as rayon and cotton can also be used.

In the present invention, the aspect of the pair of side sheets of the absorbent article is not particularly limited. For example, the pair of side sheets is one side of the width direction corresponding to the front side of the animal when the absorbent article is attached. The side sheets are configured such that elastic members can be arranged to form a three-dimensional gather like the side sheet 14 of the first embodiment described above, and the width direction corresponding to the rear side of the animal when the absorbent article is attached The other side sheet may be configured such that the widthwise length is shorter than the widthwise length of the one side sheet and the elastic member is not disposed. When the absorbent article is attached, the side sheet on one side in the width direction corresponding to the front side of the animal is configured to form the above-mentioned solid gathers, whereby the anterior side of the animal is usually attached when the absorbent article is attached. Since it is possible to steadily receive excrement such as urine excreted from the excretory port of the exhausting organ facing the above, the above-mentioned three-dimensional gatherer G can make leakage of excrement less likely to occur.

The external shape and various dimensions of each of the pair of side sheets are not particularly limited as long as they can be used as the side sheet of the absorbent article for animals, and the size and shape of the animal to be attached Arbitrary external shape, various dimensions, etc. are employable.

Moreover, since providing such a pair of side sheets in the absorbent article for animals is not an essential constituent requirement in the present invention, the absorbent article for animals has such a pair of side sheets. You do not have to.

(Side elastic member)
In the disposable diaper 1 according to the first embodiment described above, the side elastic member EM is a pair of stretchable two thread-like elastic members extending in the longitudinal direction L of the disposable diaper 1 (ie, in the disposable diaper 1 Each of the one end 19 and the other end 19 ′ in the width direction W of the disposable diaper 1 is formed by a total of four thread-like elastic members, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3. Specifically, in the vicinity of the one side edge 19E in the width direction W of the disposable diaper 1 and in the vicinity of the other side edge 19′E), between the pair of side sheets and the back sheet 12 described above It arrange | positions and the contraction force of the longitudinal direction L is provided to the disposable diaper 1 of the expand | deployed state.

When such side elastic members EM are disposed at both ends in the width direction W of the disposable diaper 1, both ends in the width direction W of the disposable diaper 1 (that is, the longitudinal direction D _F of the animal at the time of mounting) Since the part can be more closely attached along the torso of the animal, leakage of excrement such as urine excreted from the animal can be further prevented.
Moreover, in this way, the contractile force of the longitudinal direction L are given to the disposable diaper 1 in a state where expanded, at the time of mounting, since the disposable diaper 1 can be expanded and contracted in the waist direction D _S of the animal, When the disposable diaper 1 is attached to the abdomen of an animal, the longitudinal length of the disposable diaper 1 is reduced along the circumference of the animal's torso, and the disposable diaper 1 is easily in close contact with the abdominal shape of the animal. Furthermore, after the disposable diaper 1 is attached to the abdomen of the animal, the disposable diaper 1 is adapted to the waist size direction D of the animal according to the size change of the waist around the movement of the animal and breathing, eating and drinking, etc. It can be extended and contracted to _S, and it becomes easy to maintain the state where the disposable diaper 1 is in close contact with the abdomen of the animal for a long time.

In the present invention, the elastic member that can be used as the side elastic member is not particularly limited as long as it can impart a longitudinal contraction force to the absorbent article in the unfolded state, and, for example, thread rubber or natural rubber Flat rubber: stretchable molded article formed of thermoplastic elastomer such as urethane, ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA) or the like into a filament or strip; arbitrary elastic member such as stretchable sheet-like member such as stretchable non-woven fabric be able to.

One or two or more may be disposed only in one of the two ends in the width direction, or one or three in each of the both ends in the width direction of the absorbent article More than one may be arranged.

In addition, since providing such a side elastic member in an absorbent article for animals is not an essential component in the present invention, the absorbent article for animals has such a side elastic member. You do not have to.

[Engagement part]
In the disposable diaper 1 according to the first embodiment described above, the engagement portion 17 on one side in the longitudinal direction L and the engagement portion 18 on the other side do not face the trunk of the back sheet 12 as shown in FIGS. 2 to 4. It is located on the surface F ₂ side and is arranged to extend in the width direction W at each of the one end 15 and the other end 16 in the longitudinal direction L, and along the width direction W of the disposable diaper 1 It has a long horizontally elongated rectangular outer shape. In the present invention, the engaging portion of the absorbent article is not limited to such an outer shape as long as the effects of the present invention are not impaired. For example, each of square, rectangular, hexagonal, and four corners has a substantially arc shape. Arbitrary external shapes, such as a rectangular shape, are employable.

And in disposable diaper 1 of the 1st embodiment of the present invention, as shown in Drawing 2, each of engagement part 17 of one side of longitudinal direction L and engagement part 18 of the other side is a width direction length of absorber 13 (B) has a width direction length (A) or more. Thus, each of the engaging portions 17 and 18 extending in the width direction W at both ends in the longitudinal direction L has a width direction length (A) equal to or greater than the width direction length (B) of the absorber 13. Since it becomes easy to secure the rigidity in the width direction W in the range of at least the width direction length (B) of the absorber 13 in the engaging portions 17 and 18 when the animal is wearing the disposable diaper 1, the animal be or move, the disposable diaper 1 can be made difficult shrinkage in the longitudinal direction D _F of the animal, resulting width direction W of the absorber 13 (i.e., the front-rear direction D _F of the animals at the time of _mounting) the twist and collapse in It can be difficult. Thus, the disposable diaper 1 of the first embodiment, at the time of mounting, not only the absorption performance of the absorbent body 13 can be sufficiently exhibited, more along the waistline direction D _S of the animal to the disposable diaper 1 Since it becomes difficult to form large wrinkles and wrinkles, and it becomes difficult to form a gap resulting from wrinkles and wrinkles between the abdominal surface of the animal and the disposable diaper 1, the disposable diaper 1 is in close contact with the animal's abdomen It becomes easy to maintain, and as a result, it becomes difficult for the animal's excrement to leak out.
In the present specification, the widthwise length of the engaging portion means the widthwise length of the portion where the length in the widthwise direction of the engaging portion is the largest in plan view, and the widthwise length of the engaging portion In the case of a constant, it means the constant width direction length.

Furthermore, in the first embodiment, each of the engaging portion 17 on one side and the engaging portion 18 on the other side in the longitudinal direction L described above is, as shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. since it is arranged on the non-facing surface F _2, the disposable diaper 1 and the support 2 when attached to the body of the animal, the support 2, the body not facing the disposable diaper 1, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 7 It will engage so as to cover each engaging part 17, 18 in the face F ₂ from the back side, and it becomes difficult for the animal and other animals equipped with such a disposable diaper 1 to peel off the disposable diaper 1, and the disposable diaper 1 in the longitudinal direction L (i.e., waist direction D _S of the animal at the time of _mounting) both ends of that positioned relatively proximal relative to the fuselage surface of animal, such as urine discharged from animals Excrement disposable diaper 1 Even diffused into waist direction D _S of the animal along, it is possible to make it difficult to leak the excrement to the outside. Thereby, the disposable diaper 1 of the 1st Embodiment can make it hard to produce the leak of excretion more stably and reliably.

Moreover, in the disposable diaper 1 according to the first embodiment, each of the engagement portion 17 on one side in the longitudinal direction L and the engagement portion 18 on the other side is the disposable diaper 1 as shown in FIGS. 2 and 4. Position in the longitudinal direction L of the disposable diaper 1 including the longitudinal direction edges of the disposable diaper 1 (specifically, one side edge 15E and the other side edge 16E in the longitudinal direction L in FIGS. 2 and 4) Is located in In this way, when each of the engagement portion 17 on one side in the longitudinal direction L and the engagement portion 18 on the other side are disposed at positions including the longitudinal end edge of the disposable diaper 1, disposable Since the diaper 1 can be fixed to the engaging portion of the support 2 (that is, the support side engaging portions 23 and 24) up to the end of the disposable diaper 1 in the longitudinal direction L, disposable at the time of installation It is possible to make it even more difficult for the longitudinal direction edge of the diaper 1 to curl and the positional deviation and peeling of the disposable diaper 1 resulting therefrom. Thereby, the disposable diaper 1 of the 1st Embodiment of this invention can exhibit the effect and function normally exhibited by the above-mentioned disposable diaper 1 stably over a long period of time.

In the present specification, the longitudinal edges (i.e., the one side edge and the other side edge in the longitudinal direction) are the outermost portions on one side and the other side in the longitudinal direction (i.e., the other side). , “Edge”, and the longitudinal ends (ie, one longitudinal end and the other end) extend longitudinally inward, including the longitudinal edges. It is defined as a predetermined region up to a position on the inner side in the longitudinal direction which exists and whose longitudinal length from the longitudinal edge is 25% of the total longitudinal length (this overall length is 100%). Means the part to be
Also, widthwise end edges (ie, one side edge and the other side edge in the width direction) and end portions in the width direction (ie, the one side end and the other side end in the width direction) A first direction edge (i.e., one side edge and the other side edge in the first direction) and an end portion in the first direction (i.e., the one side edge and the other side edge in the first direction) The same applies to the second direction edge (ie, one side edge and the other side edge in the second direction) and the end in the second direction (ie, the one side edge and the other side edge in the second direction) of It is.

Further, in the first embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 4, in the disposable diaper 1, the portion between the absorber 13 and each of the engaging portions 17 and 18 in a plan view is the surface sheet 11, It has a three-layered laminated structure consisting of the back sheet 12 and the back film 12B, and is relative to other portions (for example, a portion having the absorbent 13 or a portion having the engaging portions 17 and 18). The low rigidity portion R ₁ is formed as a low rigidity portion. When such a low rigidity portion R ₁ is provided between the absorber 13 and each of the engaging portions 17 and 18, the force applied to the disposable diaper 1 by the operation of the animal or the like when the disposable diaper 1 is attached Since deformation can be buffered by deformation of the low rigidity portion R ₁ , the disposable diaper 1 can easily maintain a state in which the disposable diaper 1 is in close contact with the abdomen of the animal at the time of wearing. It can be made more difficult to occur. Thereby, the disposable diaper 1 of the 1st Embodiment of this invention can exhibit the effect by the above-mentioned disposable diaper 1 more stably.

In the absorbent article of the present invention, the means for forming a low rigidity portion between the absorber and each engaging portion is not particularly limited as long as the effects of the present invention are not impaired. In addition to the adjustment of the number of layers in such a laminated structure, any means such as reduction of the basis weight of the component in the portion between the absorber and each engaging portion can be employed, for example.

Further, in the disposable diaper 1 according to the first embodiment, the engagement portion 17 on one side in the longitudinal direction L and the engagement portion 18 on the other side are respectively directed toward the non-body facing surface side as shown in FIG. It is formed of the hook member provided with the engagement protrusion P which protrudes. As described above, when the engaging portions 17 and 18 are formed by the hook members, the rigidity of the engaging portions 17 and 18 can be easily secured by the hook member having a relatively high rigidity. The diaper 1 can be made more difficult to shrink in the longitudinal direction _{DF of the} animal. Furthermore, in the first embodiment, since the respective engaging portions 17 and 18 of the disposable diaper 1 are formed by the hook members, the engaging portions of the support 2 to be engaged with these engaging portions 17 and 18 (Ie, the support side engaging portion 23 on one side in the first direction D ₁ of the support 2 and the support side engaging portion 24 on the other side) are respectively received by the receiving members capable of receiving the engaging projections P of the hook members. Although formed, such a receiving member is generally more durable (that is, less likely to cause structural failure) to be repeatedly attached to and removed from the engaging member as compared with the hook member. There is also the advantage that the support 2 can be used repeatedly over a longer period of time. In addition, since the disposable diaper 1 in which each engagement part 17 and 18 was formed by the hook member is discarded whenever used, when mounting the disposable diaper 1 to an animal, it is usually a new disposable diaper The hook members 1 engage with the receiving members of the support- side engaging portions 23 and 24, so that it is possible to stably exhibit the effects exerted by the disposable diaper 1 described above.

Here, in the present specification, “engagement” is linked by mechanically engaging elements having a predetermined structure, and the linked state is maintained unless the elements are separated by a predetermined force. A typical example of the "engagement member" is a so-called surface fastener or the like, and more specifically, a hook member having a plurality of engagement protrusions and an engagement protrusion of the hook member The receiving member (for example, loop member etc.) etc. which have several engagement recessed parts (for example, a loop structure, the space part between constituent fibers, etc.) for receiving, etc. are mentioned.

In the present invention, the engaging members which can form the engaging portions disposed at both ends in the longitudinal direction of the absorbent article engage with the engaging portions disposed at both ends of the support in the first direction. There is no particular limitation as long as it can be obtained, for example, a hook member as in the first embodiment described above, a receiving structure for receiving an engagement protrusion of the hook member (for example, a gap between the loop structure and constituent fibers) A receiving member (for example, a loop member or the like) or the like provided with an engagement recess or the like can be used. As a matter of course, when each engaging part of the absorbent article is a hook member, each engaging part of the support is a receiving member, and when each engaging part of the absorbent article is a receiving member, Each engagement portion of the support comprises a hook member.

The hook members capable of forming the respective engaging portions are not particularly limited as long as the effects of the present invention are not impaired. For example, a flat sheet-like base and a plurality of mushroom types vertically projecting from the base The engaging protrusion (ie, the shaft projecting vertically from the sheet-like base, and the tip of the shaft (specifically, the tip of the shaft opposite to the sheet-like base)) A mushroom-shaped hook member having an engagement protrusion having an enlarged diameter portion in a direction in which the outer peripheral surface expands, and a flat sheet-like base and a plurality of hook-shaped engagements vertically projecting from the base The protrusion (that is, the tip of the shaft projecting vertically from the sheet-like base (specifically, the tip of the shaft opposite to the sheet-like base) is folded back toward the base) Engaging projection) Or the like can be used mold hook members. In particular, when a mushroom type hook member is used as the engaging portion, when the hook member is engaged and fixed with the engaging portion (receiving member such as a loop member) of the support, the engaging and fixing is performed Since the mushroom-shaped hook member can maintain the engagement state corresponding to the force in any direction on the above-mentioned receiving member even if the moving portion is pulled in various directions by the movement of the animal or the like, The engagement between the hook member (i.e., the engaging portion of the absorbent article) and the receiving member (i.e., the engaging portion of the support) can be firmly maintained, and as a result, the absorbent article It can be made difficult to shift from the proper position of the abdomen, and it can be made difficult to remove from the animal's torso. Furthermore, since this mushroom type hook member can be engaged with any receiving member other than the loop member (for example, a fibrous structure such as a non-woven fabric or a knitted fabric), the engaging portion of the support is looped by the loop member It is not necessary to form, and various product designs can be realized according to various product concepts such as resource saving and cost reduction.

The constituent material of these hook members is not particularly limited. For example, any synthetic resin such as polyester, polyolefin, polyamide, polyvinyl chloride, olefin elastomer, urethane elastomer, etc. can be used, and further, such synthetic resin A single type of resin may be used, or two or more types of resins may be used in combination.

Furthermore, the receiving member capable of forming each engaging portion is not particularly limited as long as the effects of the present invention are not impaired. For example, the receiving member is made of fibers or synthetic resin on the surface of a sheet-like substrate A sheet-like fiber structure or the like such as a non-woven fabric or a knitted fabric can also be used in accordance with the structure of the engaging protrusion of the hook member to be engaged, in addition to the structure having a plurality of loop structures. In addition, the constituent material of the fiber or synthetic resin which constitutes these structures is not particularly limited as long as it can exhibit the function as a receiving member, and, for example, synthetic fiber (for example, polyester fiber, nylon fiber, etc.), natural fiber Any fiber such as cotton, silk, etc., regenerated fiber (eg rayon, cupra etc.), semi-synthetic fiber (acetate fiber etc.), or any synthetic resin such as polyester or polyolefin can be used, These fibers or synthetic resins may be used alone or in combination of two or more.

In the present invention, each engaging portion of the absorbent article is not limited to the hook member as described above, and may be formed by a receiving member such as a loop member, and further, one side in the longitudinal direction of the absorbent article The side engagement portion may be formed by the hook member, and the other side engagement portion may be formed by the receiving member.

Furthermore, the external shape and various dimensions of each engaging portion of the absorbent article are not particularly limited as long as the effects of the present invention are not impaired, and any external shape or size according to the size and body type of the animal to be attached Various dimensions can be adopted.

[Back film]

In the present invention, as the back film of the absorbent article, a liquid impermeable sheet-like member similar to the above-mentioned back sheet can be used. For example, hydrophobic non-woven fabric, SMS laminated non-woven fabric, liquid impermeable plastic Films and laminated sheets obtained by arbitrarily combining these sheets can be suitably used.

Further, the outer shape and various dimensions of the back film are not particularly limited as long as they can be used as a back film of the absorbent article for animals, and any outer shape according to the size and body type of the animal to be attached A shape, various dimensions, etc. are employable.

In addition, since providing such a back film in the absorbent article for animals is not an essential component requirement in the present invention, the absorbent article for animals does not have such a back film. It is also good.

And in this invention, the method in particular of manufacturing the absorbent article for animals using the various members mentioned above is not restrict | limited, Arbitrary manufacturing methods well-known in this field are employable. For example, in the disposable diaper 1 according to the first embodiment described above, various members constituting the disposable diaper 1, that is, hook members serving as the engagement portion 17 on one side and the engagement portion 18 on the other side in the longitudinal direction L , Side sheet 14 on one side in the width direction W, side sheet 14 'on the other side, absorber 13, back film 12B, and back sheet 12 as shown in FIG. 2 to FIG. It can manufacture by joining by joining means (For example, the adhesion | attachment method by a hot-melt-type adhesive agent, a heat sealing method, an ultrasonic bonding method etc.).

In the present invention, the absorbent article for animals may be disposed so as to cover the excretory port of the animal's drainage organ with respect to the abdomen of the animal and absorb excrement such as urine excreted from the animal. For example, the present invention is not particularly limited, and can be applied to various animal absorbent articles such as (light) incontinence pads for animals as well as disposable diapers as in the above-described first embodiment.

[Inner surface material]
In support 2, the inner surface material 21, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, in plan view, over the other side edge E _L2 from one side edge E _L1 in the first direction D ₁ of the support 2 has a substantially octagonal external shape, such as four corners of a rectangle extending over the other side edge E _W2 from one side edge E _W1 in a second direction D ₂ is cut in a straight line with extending, A sheet-like member disposed at a position on the body facing surface side in the thickness direction _DT of the support 2 to form a contact surface with the animal's body (that is, the body facing surface S ₁ of the support 2) ing.

In addition, the external shape of the inner surface material is not particularly limited as long as the effects of the present invention are not impaired, and the predetermined flexibility which can be disposed along the waist around the back of the animal to be attached, Any external shape (for example, a square, a rectangle, a hexagon, etc.) according to the type, body type, size, etc. of the animal as long as it has a predetermined strength capable of supporting the absorbent article attached to the abdomen from the back side The four corners have a substantially rectangular arc shape, the center in the first direction bulges outward in the second direction (crown shape), and the center in the first direction lies inward in the second direction. A concave shape (reverse crown shape) or the like can be employed.

And in the above-mentioned support 2, the whole inside surface material 21 is constituted by receiving members, such as a loop member, and it is constituted in one with the support side engaging parts 23 and 24 mentioned below. In the present invention, the inner surface material does not have to be configured integrally with the support side engaging portion, and as will be described later, an engagement member of another member may be disposed as the support side engaging portion. .

In the present invention, the sheet-like member that can be used as the inner surface material is not particularly limited as long as it has predetermined flexibility and strength that can be used as the inner surface material of the support and can be reused by washing or the like. In addition to the above-mentioned receiving members such as loop members, sheet-like engaging members such as hook members (for example, hook tapes etc.); nonwoven fabrics such as felt and fleece; woven fabrics; knitted fabrics such as mesh materials; natural leather; Leather: Various sheet-like members such as resin sheet such as polyolefin sheet and polyester sheet can be adopted, but points such as flexibility, air permeability, touch, ease of care (washability), strength Therefore, it is preferable to use a sheet-like fiber structure such as non-woven fabric, woven fabric or knitted fabric. Furthermore, when the inner surface material comprises such a sheet-like fiber structure, its constituent fibers are not particularly limited, and, for example, synthetic fibers (eg, polyester fibers, nylon fibers, etc.), natural fibers (eg, cotton, Arbitrary fibers such as silk, regenerated fibers (eg, rayon, cupra etc.), semi-synthetic fibers (acetate fibers etc.) can be used, and these fibers may be used alone or in combination of two or more kinds of fibers. You may use together.

Furthermore, in the present invention, the structure of the sheet-like member that can be used as the inner surface material is not particularly limited, and in addition to a flat non-porous sheet, a perforated sheet such as a mesh sheet, a sheet having an uneven structure, etc. are suitably used. be able to. The sheet-like member that can be used as the inner surface material may be a sheet having a single layer structure or a sheet having a multilayer structure of two or more layers.

The thickness, dimensions, basis weight and the like of the sheet-like member that can be used as the inner surface material are not particularly limited as long as the effects of the present invention are not impaired, and any arbitrary according to desired flexibility, strength, air permeability, touch etc. The dimensions, thickness, etc. of the above can be adopted.

Then, in the support 2 described above, the body facing surface S ₁ of the inner surface member 21, the second direction D in each of the one side end portion 25 and the other side end portion 26 of the first direction D ₁ of the support 2 ₂ , and a support side engaging portion for detachably fixing the engaging portion 17 on one side and the engaging portion 18 on the other side of the longitudinal direction L of the disposable diaper 1 in the longitudinal direction L, ie, support member side engagement portions 23 and the other side of the support member side engagement portions 24 of the first one side of the direction D ₁ is provided.

[Support side engaging portion]
In support 2, one side of the support member side engagement portions 23 and the support member side engagement portions 24 of the other side in the first direction D _1, as described above, as part of the respective inner surface member 21, the engaging member It is comprised by receiving members, such as a loop member which is a kind. Therefore, when the disposable diaper 1 is fixed to the support 2, the support-side engaging portion 23 (receiving member) on one side of the support 2 in the first direction D ₁ one side engaging portion 17 (hook member) engages in, to the other side of the engaging portion 24 in the first direction D ₁ of the support 2 (receiving member), the other in the longitudinal direction L of the disposable diaper 1 The side engagement portion 18 (hook member) is engaged.

As described above, in the support 2, the whole of the inner surface material 21 is configured by the receiving member, and the support side engaging portions 23 and 24 are integrally formed with the inner surface material 21. Here, each support side engaging portion (that is, the support side engaging portion on one side of the support in the first direction and the support side engaging portion on the other side) is the first direction of the support in a plan view. In each end of the absorbent article having a predetermined first direction length and a predetermined second direction length, and having a peel strength such that the absorbent article does not fall off when both longitudinal ends of the absorbent article are fixed. It can be defined as a portion having a predetermined area to be presented. More specifically, the support-side engaging portion on one side in the first direction of the support and the support-side engaging portion on the other side of the support each have a first direction end edge (that is, one side end edge in the first direction and The other side end edge extends inward in the first direction, and the first direction length from the first direction end edge is 100% of the first direction overall length (this first direction overall length is 100%) Can be defined as a portion within the range of less than 25% of

As in the support 2 described above, the entire inner surface is constituted by the receiving member (that is, the support-side engaging portion is formed as a part of the inner surface), and one of the first directions Also, in the region between the support side engaging portion on the side and the support side engaging portion on the other side, both ends of the absorbent article in the longitudinal direction can be fixed by engagement. It becomes easy to adjust the fixing position of the absorbent article in a wider range according to the wearing state of the absorbent article and the like, and the absorbent article and the support can be mounted on the animal trunk more accurately. In addition, when the entire inner surface material is constituted by a receiving member such as a loop member, there is no need to separately provide an engagement member corresponding to the engagement portion of the absorbent article on the support, so the configuration of the support In addition to being able to reduce the number of members, there is also an advantage that it is possible to make it difficult to cause the rigidity of the support to excessively increase.
Furthermore, when the support side engaging portion provided on the body facing surface of the support is formed by a receiving member such as a loop member, the receiving member can be engaged with the engaging portion (hook member) of the absorbent article. Although it has an engaging recess for receiving the engaging projection but does not have an engaging projection, when the support is attached, the animal hairs are provided to the support side engaging portion (receiving member) provided on the body facing surface of the support. It is possible to prevent the entanglement and the irritating projection from giving a irritating stimulus to the animal's torso. As a result, such a support is advantageous in that the animal is not disgusting at the time of wearing, and it becomes easy to maintain the animal in the proper position on the back of the animal.

However, in the present invention, the support-side engaging portion of the support does not have to be configured as a part of the inner surface material like the above-described support 2, and for example, the support-side engaging portion is the inner surface In the fuselage facing surface of the material, it may be constituted by engaging members disposed at each of the one side end and the other side end of the support in the first direction. When the support-side engaging portion is formed of a separate member (that is, an engaging member) different from the inner surface material, a predetermined rigidity can be secured in the support-side engaging portion by the engaging member. A more flexible sheet-like member can be used as the inner surface material, and there is an advantage that the fit to the trunk of the animal and the touch can be further improved.

In the present invention, the engaging member capable of forming the engaging portion of the support is not particularly limited as long as the effects of the present invention are not impaired, and is the same as the engaging member capable of forming the engaging portion of the absorbent article described above. Receiving members and hook members can be used.

In addition, when the support side engaging portion of the support is formed by a receiving member such as a loop member like the above-mentioned support 2, such a receiving member is usually repeatedly performed as compared with the hook member. Since the durability against the attaching and detaching operation of the joint members is high, there is an advantage that the above-mentioned support can be repeatedly used for a longer period of time.

In the present invention, the external shape and various dimensions of the support-side engaging portion of the support are not particularly limited as long as the effects of the present invention are not impaired, and any according to the size and body type of the animal to be attached It is preferable that the support-side engaging portion have a second direction length equal to or greater than the width direction length of the absorbent body of the absorbent article. When the support side engaging portion has a second direction length equal to or longer than the width direction length of the absorbent body of the absorbent article, the support side engaging portion on one side in the first direction and the support side on the other side In each of the engaging portions, the rigidity in the second direction can be easily secured at least in the range of the width direction length of the absorbent body, and therefore, even if the animal moves during attachment of the support and the absorbent article, the absorbability The article can be made difficult to shrink in the front-rear direction of the animal, and it is possible to make it even less likely to cause twisting or crushing in the width direction of the absorber.

Furthermore, as in the case of the support 2 shown in FIG. 5, the support-side engaging portion of the support continuously extends in the second direction at both ends in the first direction of the support. preferable. When the support side engaging portions extend continuously along the second direction at both ends in the first direction of the support, rigidity in the second direction is further secured in the support side engaging portions. Since it becomes easy, there is an advantage that the absorptive article fixed to the support side engaging part can be made hard to be shrunk much more in the direction of animals order. In the present invention, the form of the support side engaging part is not limited to such an aspect, and the support side engaging part is a range which does not inhibit the effect of the present invention at both ends of the support in the first direction. It may extend intermittently along the second direction in the inside.

In the support 2 described above, the support member side engagement portions 23 and 24, but is provided on the body facing surface S ₁ of the support 2, in the present invention, the arrangement of the support member side engagement portion, The support side engaging portion is not particularly limited as long as the effects of the present invention are not impaired, and the support side engaging portion may be provided on the non-body facing surface of the support as in the embodiment described later. More specifically, the entire outer surface may be constituted by an engaging member consisting of a receiving member or a hook member (that is, the support side engaging portion may be constituted as a part of the outer surface) Or, the support side engagement portion is an engagement member (i.e., the outer side) disposed at each of the first end and the other end of the support in the non-body facing surface of the outer surface material. It may be comprised by the engaging member of another member with a surface material.

When the support side engaging portion is provided on the body facing surface of the support like the above-mentioned support 2, as shown in FIG. 7, the support and the absorbent article are attached to the animal's body. In such a case, since the engagement portion (engagement member) of the support is engaged to cover the engagement portion disposed on the non-body facing surface of the absorbent article from the back side, While it becomes difficult for the animal or other animal equipped with the article to peel off the absorbent article, both ends of the absorbent article in the longitudinal direction (the direction around the waist of the animal when worn) are better than the support against the body surface of the animal Also, because it is relatively proximally located, it is difficult for the excrement to leak outside even if excrement such as urine excreted from the animal diffuses along the absorbent article and around the waist of the animal. It has the advantage of being able to

[Outside surface material]
In support 2, the outer surface material 22, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, in plan view, over the other side edge E _L2 from one side edge E _L1 in the first direction D ₁ of the support 2 has a substantially octagonal external shape, such as four corners of a rectangle extending over the other side edge E _W2 from one side edge E _W1 in a second direction D ₂ is cut in a straight line with extending, A sheet-like member which is disposed at a position on the non-body facing surface side in the thickness direction _DT of the support ₂ to form a non-contact surface with the animal's body (that is, the non-body facing surface S _{2 of} the support ₂ ). It is composed of

The external shape of the outer surface material is not particularly limited as long as the effects of the present invention are not impaired, and the predetermined flexibility which can be arranged along the waist around the back of the animal to be attached, and Any external shape (for example, a square, a rectangle, a hexagon, etc.) according to the type, body type, size, etc. of the animal as long as it has a predetermined strength capable of supporting the absorbent article attached to the abdomen from the back side The four corners have a substantially rectangular arc shape, the center in the first direction bulges outward in the second direction (crown shape), and the center in the first direction lies inward in the second direction. A concave shape (reverse crown shape) or the like can be employed.

In the present invention, the sheet-like member that can be used as the outer surface material is particularly limited as long as it has predetermined flexibility and strength that can be used as the outer surface material of the support and can be reused by washing or the like. Instead, the same sheet-like member as the above-mentioned inner surface material can be adopted. Furthermore, the structure of the sheet-like member that can be used as the outer surface material is not particularly limited, and in addition to a flat non-porous sheet, a perforated sheet such as a mesh sheet, a sheet having a concavo-convex structure, etc. can be suitably used. The sheet-like member that can be used as the outer surface material may be a sheet having a single layer structure or a sheet having a multilayer structure of two or more layers.

The thickness, dimensions, basis weight and the like of the sheet-like member that can be used as the outer surface material are not particularly limited as long as the effects of the present invention are not impaired, and any dimensions according to desired flexibility, strength, air permeability, etc. A shape, thickness, etc. can be adopted.

[Stiffening member]
Support 2, 5 and 6, the support 2 of the outer peripheral edge (i.e., the one terminal of the first direction D ₁ edge E _L1 and the other side edge E _L2, the second direction D ₂ Inner edge 21 and an edge along the entire outer periphery of the support 2 consisting of the outer edge 29E of each of the four slopes 29 and the one side edge E _W1 and the other side edge E _W2 of extending from the body facing surface S ₁ of the support 2 so as to sandwich the outer surface material 22 to the body non-facing surfaces S _2, and a rigid reinforcing member made from the bias tape. Furthermore, the rigid reinforcing member, as shown in FIG. 5, along the respective one side of the support member side engagement portions 23 and the support member side engagement portions 24 of the other side in the first direction D ₁ in the second direction D ₂ as part extending Te, the engaging portion rigid reinforcing member 27, extends along the first direction D ₁ at each of the second direction one side end edge of the D ₂ E _W1 and the other side edge E _W2 And a first direction rigidity reinforcing member 28 as a part.

Incidentally, the engaging portion rigid reinforcing member 27 and the first direction rigidity-reinforcing member 28 in the second direction D ₂ and the first direction D _1, respectively, may not necessarily totally extend, at least partially It should just extend. The support has an engaging portion rigid reinforcement member extending at least partially along the second direction in each of the support side engaging portion on one side in the first direction and the support side engaging portion on the other side. In such a case, the rigidity is relatively high in each of the support side engaging portions described above, so even when the support and the absorbent article are worn, the support itself is deformed due to large movement of the animal. There is an advantage that it is possible to make it difficult to deform at least in the back and forth direction of the animal in each of the support side engaging portions while concentrating the deformation at a location other than each support side engaging portion. Furthermore, when the support has a first direction rigid reinforcing member extending at least partially along the first direction, the support and the absorbent article are attached by the movement of the animal or the like at the time of attachment of the support. Even when a force is applied in two directions (longitudinal direction of the animal at the time of wearing), the above-described force is resisted by the tension of the first direction rigidity reinforcing member extending in the first direction orthogonal to the second direction. And the entire support can be made more difficult to deform in the back and forth direction of the animal.

In the support 2 described above, the rigid reinforcing member is formed by stitching at the outer peripheral edge of the support 2 with the body facing surface S ₁ of the inner surface material 21 and the body non-facing surface S ₂ of the outer surface material 22. It is joined with each other. Specifically, the rigid reinforcing member is disposed so as to sandwich the laminate of the inner surface material 21 and the outer surface material 22 from both sides of the body facing surface S ₁ side and the body non-facing surface S ₂ side. body facing surface S ₁ side rigid reinforcing member arranged in the direction D _T, the inner surface member 21, the rigidity reinforcing member of the outer surface material 22 and the body non-facing surface S ₂ side, sewing in the thickness direction D _T by suture By being put together, they are integrally joined. The means for joining the rigid reinforcing member to the above-mentioned fuselage facing surface and the non-body facing surface is not particularly limited, and in addition to the above-mentioned stitching means, for example, pressing means such as embossing, hot melt adhesive etc. Any bonding means such as the bonding means used, heat fusion means using ultrasonic waves or the like can be employed.

The rigid reinforcing member that can be used for the support of the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned bias tape as long as it is a band-shaped member having a certain rigidity (strength), and, for example, woven fabric, non-woven fabric, resin film and these It is possible to use a belt-like member made of a laminated sheet or the like in combination of two or more kinds. Further, such a belt-like member is preferably stretchable in the longitudinal direction in order to facilitate the fitting of the support to the animal body. As such a belt-like member having stretchability in the longitudinal direction, for example, a bias tape into which urethane fibers are woven, a woven fabric into which an elastic material such as polyurethane fibers or rubber is woven, an elastic nonwoven fabric including an elastic material, a synthetic fiber Or the net-like cloth etc. which were knitted by the natural fiber etc. are mentioned. In the support 2 described above, a bias tape having stretchability in the longitudinal direction is used as a rigid reinforcing member.

Further, in the above-described support 2, as shown in FIG. 5, the rigid reinforcing member is disposed over the entire outer peripheral edge of the support 2, but the present invention is limited to such an arrangement form. Alternatively, the stiffening member may be disposed at a part of the outer peripheral edge of the support. Furthermore, the above-mentioned engaging part rigidity reinforcing member and the first direction rigidity reinforcing member are not limited to the above-mentioned arrangement form, and the engaging portion rigidity reinforcing member and the first direction rigidity reinforcing member are respectively individual rigidity reinforcing members It may be arranged independently.

The dimensional shape, thickness, etc. of the belt-like member that can be used as the rigidity reinforcing member are not particularly limited as long as the belt-like member can function as a rigidity reinforcing member, and any dimensional shape or the like corresponding to desired rigidity, flexibility, etc. Thickness etc. can be adopted.

Further, in the present invention, the support includes, in addition to the rigid reinforcing members disposed at the outer peripheral edge, for example, a sheet-like rigid reinforcing member disposed between the inner surface material and the outer surface material described above. It may be The sheet-like rigidity reinforcing member is not particularly limited as long as it has predetermined rigidity and can be reused by washing etc. For example, woven fabric such as plain woven fabric; nonwoven fabric; knitted fabric; natural leather; Synthetic leather; Various sheet-like members such as resin sheets such as polyolefin and polyester sheets can be used, but in terms of rigidity, constant flexibility, air permeability, strength, etc., woven fabrics, non-woven fabrics, knitted fabrics It is preferable to use a fiber sheet such as Further, the dimensional shape, thickness and the like of the sheet-like member which can be used as the sheet-like rigid reinforcing member are not particularly limited, and any dimensional shape and thickness according to desired rigidity, flexibility, air permeability etc. are adopted. can do.

In the present invention, the support is a sheet-like rigidity in which the support is disposed between these rigidity reinforcing members (that is, the rigidity reinforcing member disposed on the outer peripheral edge of the support or the inner surface material and the outer surface material). In the case where the support as a whole has predetermined rigidity by a component other than the reinforcing member) (for example, the inner surface material, the outer surface material, the engaging member of the support side engaging portion, etc.) However, it is not necessary to necessarily have such a rigid reinforcing member.

Further, the method of manufacturing the support constituted by the various members described above is not particularly limited. For example, the support may be any of the inner surface material, the outer surface material, the engaging member of the support side engaging portion, and the like. A laminate is obtained by laminating with or without bonding means (eg, bonding means, suturing means, etc.), and if necessary, a rigid reinforcing member is optionally attached to the outer peripheral edge of the laminate. It can manufacture by joining and using.
