<使い捨ておむつ1の構成>
 図1は、使い捨ておむつ1(以下「おむつ1」)の概略斜視図である。図2は、展開且つ伸長状態のおむつ1を肌側から見た概略平面図である。図3は、展開且つ伸長状態のおむつ1を非肌側から見た概略平面図である。図4は、図2のA-A線の概略断面図である。図4において、複数の開孔(後述する開孔40)を有する資材については破線で示し、非開孔の資材については実線で示している。
<Composition of disposable diaper 1>
FIG. 1 is a schematic perspective view of a disposable diaper 1 (hereinafter referred to as “diaper 1”). FIG. 2 is a schematic plan view of the unfolded and stretched diaper 1 as viewed from the skin side. FIG. 3 is a schematic plan view of the unfolded and stretched diaper 1 as viewed from the non-skin side. FIG. 4 is a schematic cross-sectional view taken along the line AA of FIG. In FIG. 4, a material having a plurality of openings (opening 40 described later) is shown by a broken line, and a material having no holes is shown by a solid line.
 ここで、上述の「展開状態」とは、おむつ1の左右方向における、腹側部(後述する腹側胴回り部20)の両端部と、背側部(後述する背側胴回り部30)の両端部との接合を解き、腹側部と背側部とを分離するとともに、おむつ1をその長手方向に開くことで、おむつ1を平面上に展開した状態のことである。また、おむつ1の「伸長状態」とは、おむつ1全体(製品全体)を皺なく伸長させた状態、具体的には、おむつ1を構成する各部材(例えば、後述する吸収性本体10や胴回り部20,30等)の寸法がその部材単体の寸法と一致又はそれに近い寸法になるまで伸長させた状態のことを言う。 Here, the above-mentioned "deployed state" refers to both ends of the ventral side portion (ventral waist circumference portion 20 described later) and both ends of the dorsal side portion (dorsal waist circumference portion 30 described later) in the left-right direction of the diaper 1. It is a state in which the diaper 1 is developed on a plane by breaking the connection with the portion, separating the ventral portion and the dorsal portion, and opening the diaper 1 in the longitudinal direction thereof. Further, the "extended state" of the diaper 1 is a state in which the entire diaper 1 (the entire product) is extended without wrinkles, specifically, each member constituting the diaper 1 (for example, the absorbent body 10 and the waist circumference described later). It refers to a state in which the dimensions of the parts (20, 30 and the like) are extended until they match or are close to the dimensions of the individual member.
 おむつ1は、パンツ型状態(図1)において、互いに交差する上下方向と左右方向と前後方向とを有している。同おむつ1は、所謂3ピースタイプであり、着用者の股間部にあてがわれ排泄液等の液体を吸収する吸収性本体10と、同着用者の胴回りを覆う外装体2とを有する。外装体2は、腹側胴回り部20と背側胴回り部30とを有している。また、おむつ1には、吸収性本体10と腹側胴回り部20と背側胴回り部30とによって、胴周り開口BH及び一対の脚周り開口LHが形成されている。上下方向の上側が胴周り開口BH側に対応し、下側が股間部側に対応する。また、前後方向の前側が着用者の腹側に対応し、後側が着用者の背側に対応する。 The diaper 1 has a vertical direction, a horizontal direction, and a front-rear direction that intersect each other in the pants type state (FIG. 1). The diaper 1 is a so-called three-piece type, and has an absorbent main body 10 that is applied to the crotch portion of the wearer and absorbs a liquid such as excrement, and an exterior body 2 that covers the waist circumference of the wearer. The exterior body 2 has a ventral waist circumference portion 20 and a dorsal waist circumference portion 30. Further, in the diaper 1, a waist circumference opening BH and a pair of leg circumference openings LH are formed by the absorbent main body 10, the ventral waist circumference portion 20, and the dorsal waist circumference portion 30. The upper side in the vertical direction corresponds to the waist opening BH side, and the lower side corresponds to the crotch part side. In addition, the front side in the front-rear direction corresponds to the ventral side of the wearer, and the rear side corresponds to the back side of the wearer.
 図2の展開状態において、おむつ1は、互いに交差する長手方向と、左右方向と、厚さ方向とを有する。以下では、この展開状態における長手方向の一方側のことを「腹側」若しくは「前側」とも呼び、長手方向の他方側のことを「背側」若しくは「後側」とも呼ぶ。展開状態の長手方向は、パンツ型状態の上下方向に沿った方向である。また、厚さ方向は、図4に示すように、おむつ1を構成する資材が積層された方向である。厚さ方向において着用者に接する側を肌側とし、その反対側を非肌側とする。 In the unfolded state of FIG. 2, the diaper 1 has a longitudinal direction, a left-right direction, and a thickness direction that intersect each other. Hereinafter, one side in the longitudinal direction in this deployed state is also referred to as "ventral" or "anterior", and the other side in the longitudinal direction is also referred to as "dorsal" or "rear". The longitudinal direction in the unfolded state is the direction along the vertical direction in the pants-shaped state. Further, as shown in FIG. 4, the thickness direction is the direction in which the materials constituting the diaper 1 are laminated. The side in contact with the wearer in the thickness direction is the skin side, and the opposite side is the non-skin side.
 図2の展開状態のおむつ1では、腹側胴回り部20と、背側胴回り部30は別体である。展開状態のおむつ1において、腹側胴回り部20は長手方向の腹側に位置し、背側胴回り部30は長手方向の背側に位置している。吸収性本体10は、図2に示されるように平面視略長方形をなし、その長手方向をおむつ1の上下方向に沿わせつつ左右方向の中央に配置されている。そして、吸収性本体10の長手方向の腹側の端部が腹側胴回り部20に接合されており、長手方向の背側の端部が背側胴回り部30に接合されている。この展開状態のおむつ1が、長手方向の略中央部C10で二つ折りされ、腹側胴回り部20と背側胴回り部30の左右方向の両側部がそれぞれ溶着等で接合されることにより、図1に示すパンツ型状態のおむつ1となる。 In the unfolded diaper 1 of FIG. 2, the ventral waist circumference 20 and the dorsal waist circumference 30 are separate bodies. In the unfolded diaper 1, the ventral waist circumference 20 is located on the ventral side in the longitudinal direction, and the dorsal waist circumference 30 is located on the dorsal side in the longitudinal direction. As shown in FIG. 2, the absorbent main body 10 has a substantially rectangular shape in a plan view, and is arranged in the center in the left-right direction while the longitudinal direction thereof is along the vertical direction of the diaper 1. The ventral end of the absorbent body 10 in the longitudinal direction is joined to the ventral girth portion 20, and the dorsal end in the longitudinal direction is joined to the dorsal girth portion 30. The unfolded diaper 1 is folded in half at the substantially central portion C10 in the longitudinal direction, and the ventral waist circumference portion 20 and the dorsal waist circumference portion 30 are joined by welding or the like in the left-right direction, respectively. It becomes the diaper 1 in the pants type state shown in.
 吸収性本体10は、尿等の排泄物を吸収する機能を有する部材であり、本実施形態では、吸収性コア11と、トップシート12と、バックシート13と、インナーシート14と、カバーシート15を備えている(図4参照)。 The absorbent main body 10 is a member having a function of absorbing excrement such as urine. In the present embodiment, the absorbent core 11, the top sheet 12, the back sheet 13, the inner sheet 14, and the cover sheet 15 (See FIG. 4).
 吸収性コア11は、パルプ繊維等の液体吸収性繊維を所定形状に成形したものであり、その内部には高吸収性ポリマー(所謂SAP)等が混入されている。これにより、吸収性コア11は、尿等の排泄物を吸収保持する。なお、吸収性コア11の形状は、図2に示されるような平面視略砂時計形状に限らず、例えば、平面視略矩形形状でもよい。 The absorbent core 11 is formed by molding a liquid absorbent fiber such as pulp fiber into a predetermined shape, and a highly absorbent polymer (so-called SAP) or the like is mixed therein. As a result, the absorbent core 11 absorbs and retains excrement such as urine. The shape of the absorbent core 11 is not limited to the shape of an hourglass in a plan view as shown in FIG. 2, and may be, for example, a substantially rectangular shape in a plan view.
 トップシート12は、吸収性コア11よりも大きい平面サイズの液透過性の不織布(例えば、エアスルー不織布やスパンボンド不織布)である。トップシート12は、吸収性コア11よりも厚さ方向の肌側に配置され、おむつ1の着用時に着用者の肌と当接する。 The top sheet 12 is a liquid-permeable non-woven fabric having a flat size larger than that of the absorbent core 11 (for example, an air-through non-woven fabric or a spunbonded non-woven fabric). The top sheet 12 is arranged on the skin side in the thickness direction of the absorbent core 11 and comes into contact with the wearer's skin when the diaper 1 is worn.
 バックシート13(液不透過性シートに相当)は、吸収性本体10よりも非肌側に配置された液不透過性のシートであり、例えばポリエチレン又はポリプロピレン等の樹脂フィルムによって形成されている。バックシート13が設けられることによって、吸収性本体10によって吸収された尿等の水分が着用者の衣服側(非肌側)に移動(浸透)することが抑制される。 The back sheet 13 (corresponding to a liquid-impermeable sheet) is a liquid-impermeable sheet arranged on the non-skin side of the absorbent body 10, and is formed of, for example, a resin film such as polyethylene or polypropylene. By providing the back sheet 13, moisture such as urine absorbed by the absorbent body 10 is suppressed from moving (permeating) to the wearer's clothing side (non-skin side).
 インナーシート14は、バックシート13とカバーシート15との間(換言すると、カバーシート15よりも肌側)に配置されたシート状の部材であり、例えば、樹脂フィルムや不織布等で形成されている。また、本実施形態のインナーシート14は非肌側の面に図柄(不図示)を有している。図柄としては、模様、絵、記号、文字などであり、特に限定されない。なお、インナーシート14は無くても良い。 The inner sheet 14 is a sheet-like member arranged between the back sheet 13 and the cover sheet 15 (in other words, on the skin side of the cover sheet 15), and is formed of, for example, a resin film or a non-woven fabric. .. Further, the inner sheet 14 of the present embodiment has a pattern (not shown) on the surface on the non-skin side. The design includes a pattern, a picture, a symbol, a character, and the like, and is not particularly limited. The inner sheet 14 may be omitted.
 カバーシート15は、吸収性本体10の最も非肌側(換言するとバックシート13よりも非肌側)に配置されたシート状の部材であり、例えば不織布等で形成されている。不織布の素材繊維としては、例えば、ポリプロピレン(PP)、ポリエチレン(PE)、ポリエチレンテレフタレート(PET)等が挙げられる。また、ポリプロピレンやポリエチレンなどの単独繊維だけでなく、ポリプロピレンやポリエチレンからなる芯鞘構造の複合繊維(Bico)などを使用することも可能である。不織布の態様としては、サーマルボンド不織布、スパンボンド不織布、スパンレース不織布等が挙げられる。なお、本実施形態のカバーシート15は、複数の開孔40を有している。これにより、おむつ1における通気性や、内部の資材(具体的にはインナーシート14)の図柄の視認性の向上などを図ることができる。開孔40の形成パターン等については後述する。 The cover sheet 15 is a sheet-like member arranged on the most non-skin side (in other words, the non-skin side of the back sheet 13) of the absorbent main body 10, and is formed of, for example, a non-woven fabric. Examples of the material fiber of the non-woven fabric include polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE), polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and the like. Further, it is also possible to use not only a single fiber such as polypropylene or polyethylene but also a composite fiber (Bico) having a core-sheath structure made of polypropylene or polyethylene. Examples of the non-woven fabric include thermal-bonded non-woven fabric, spunbonded non-woven fabric, spunlaced non-woven fabric and the like. The cover sheet 15 of the present embodiment has a plurality of openings 40. As a result, it is possible to improve the breathability of the diaper 1 and the visibility of the design of the internal material (specifically, the inner sheet 14). The formation pattern of the opening 40 and the like will be described later.
 腹側胴回り部20は、着用者の腹側の胴回りを覆う部位であり、厚さ方向において非肌側に配置された不織布21と、不織布21よりも肌側に配置された非開孔シート22(シート部材に相当)と、不織布21と非開孔シート22との間に設けられた複数の弾性部材23を有している。 The ventral waist circumference portion 20 is a portion that covers the waist circumference on the ventral side of the wearer, and is a non-woven fabric 21 arranged on the non-skin side in the thickness direction and a non-perforated sheet 22 arranged on the skin side of the non-woven fabric 21. It has a plurality of elastic members 23 provided between the non-woven fabric 21 and the non-perforated sheet 22 (corresponding to the sheet member).
 同様に、背側胴回り部30は、着用者の背側の胴回りを覆う部位であり、厚さ方向において非肌側に配置された不織布31と、不織布31よりも着用者の肌側に配置された非開孔シート32(シート部材に相当)と、不織布31と非開孔シート32との間に設けられた複数の弾性部材33を有している。また、背側胴回り部30の非肌側の面には、後処理テープ35(テープ部材に相当)が設けられている。 Similarly, the dorsal girth portion 30 is a portion that covers the dorsal girth of the wearer, and is arranged on the non-woven fabric 31 arranged on the non-skin side in the thickness direction and on the skin side of the wearer rather than the non-woven fabric 31. It has a non-perforated sheet 32 (corresponding to a sheet member) and a plurality of elastic members 33 provided between the non-woven fabric 31 and the non-perforated sheet 32. Further, a post-treatment tape 35 (corresponding to a tape member) is provided on the non-skin side surface of the dorsal waist circumference portion 30.
 なお、図4に示すように、腹側胴回り部20(及び背側胴回り部30)は、吸収性本体10の非肌側の面(すなわちカバーシート15の非肌側の面)に接合されている。この接合部分(以下、接合部ともいう)は、胴回り部(腹側胴回り部20、背側胴回り部30)と吸収性本体10(カバーシート15)とが、厚さ方向に重なる領域に相当する。 As shown in FIG. 4, the ventral waist circumference 20 (and the dorsal waist circumference 30) are joined to the non-skin side surface of the absorbent body 10 (that is, the non-skin side surface of the cover sheet 15). There is. This joint portion (hereinafter, also referred to as a joint portion) corresponds to a region where the waist circumference portion (ventral waist circumference portion 20, dorsal waist circumference portion 30) and the absorbent main body 10 (cover sheet 15) overlap in the thickness direction. ..
 不織布21,31は、カバーシート15と同様の不織布である。また、不織布21,31は、カバーシート15と同様に、複数の開孔40を有している。開孔40のパターン等については後述する。 The non-woven fabrics 21 and 31 are the same non-woven fabrics as the cover sheet 15. Further, the nonwoven fabrics 21 and 31 have a plurality of openings 40 like the cover sheet 15. The pattern of the opening 40 and the like will be described later.
 非開孔シート22,32は、開孔が設けられていないシート状の部材であり、不織布21,31と同じ素材の不織布などを用いることができる。なお、非開孔シート22,32の単位面積当たりの重量(所謂、目付)は、それぞれ、不織布21,31の単位面積当たりの重量よりも小さいことが望ましい。ここで、「単位面積当たりの重量(目付)」とは、各不織布について、複数箇所(例えば10か所)の目付を測定した結果の平均値である。位面積当たりの重量が大きい(繊維量が多い)不織布21,31は、開孔40の縁部では光が透過せず、不織布そのものの色味がはっきりと見え易い。単位面積当たりの重量が小さい(繊維量が少ない)非開孔シート22,32は、光を透過させるため透け感がある。そのような不織布21,31及び非開孔シート22,32が重ね合わされることで、各開孔40の縁部の色味の濃さと非開孔シート22,32の透け感の対比が視覚的効果を生じ、各開孔40の輪郭がよりはっきりと見えるようになる。そのため、開孔40が視認しやすくなる。また、非開孔シート22,32の透け感により、不織布21,31やカバーシート15の開孔40を介して、内部の資材(本実施形態ではインナーシート14)の図柄が視認しやすくなる。 The non-perforated sheets 22 and 32 are sheet-like members having no perforations, and a non-woven fabric or the like made of the same material as the non-woven fabrics 21 and 31 can be used. It is desirable that the weights of the non-perforated sheets 22 and 32 per unit area (so-called basis weight) are smaller than the weights of the non-woven fabrics 21 and 31, respectively. Here, the "weight per unit area (weight)" is an average value of the results of measuring the weights at a plurality of places (for example, 10 places) for each non-woven fabric. The non-woven fabrics 21 and 31 having a large weight per area (large amount of fibers) do not transmit light at the edges of the openings 40, and the color of the non-woven fabric itself can be clearly seen. The non-perforated sheets 22 and 32 having a small weight per unit area (small amount of fibers) transmit light and therefore have a sense of sheerness. By superimposing the non-woven fabrics 21 and 31 and the non-perforated sheets 22 and 32, the contrast between the color depth of the edge of each perforated 40 and the sheer feeling of the non-perforated sheets 22 and 32 is visually observed. The effect is produced and the contour of each opening 40 becomes more clearly visible. Therefore, the opening 40 becomes easy to see. Further, the sheer feeling of the non-perforated sheets 22 and 32 makes it easier to visually recognize the design of the internal material (inner sheet 14 in the present embodiment) through the openings 40 of the non-woven fabrics 21 and 31 and the cover sheet 15.
 複数の弾性部材23は、弾性を有する糸状の部材であり、不織布21と非開孔シート22の間において、上下方向に並んで配置されるとともに、左右方向に伸長した状態で固定されている。また、複数の弾性部材33は、不織布31と非開孔シート32の間において、上下方向に並んで配置されるとともに、左右方向に伸長した状態で固定されている。これにより、腹側胴回り部20、及び、背側胴回り部30に、左右方向の伸縮性が付与されている。弾性部材23,33としては、糸状のゴムやスパンデックス等を例示できる。なお、吸収性本体10と厚さ方向に重なる部分には弾性部材23,33が不連続となる不連続領域23a,33aがそれぞれ設けられている(図2参照)。 The plurality of elastic members 23 are thread-like members having elasticity, and are arranged side by side in the vertical direction between the non-woven fabric 21 and the non-perforated sheet 22, and are fixed in a state of being extended in the horizontal direction. Further, the plurality of elastic members 33 are arranged side by side in the vertical direction between the non-woven fabric 31 and the non-perforated sheet 32, and are fixed in a state of being extended in the horizontal direction. As a result, the ventral waist circumference portion 20 and the dorsal waist circumference portion 30 are provided with elasticity in the left-right direction. Examples of the elastic members 23 and 33 include thread-like rubber and spandex. Discontinuous regions 23a and 33a in which the elastic members 23 and 33 are discontinuous are provided in the portion overlapping the absorbent main body 10 in the thickness direction, respectively (see FIG. 2).
 後処理テープ35は、使用後のおむつ1を廃棄する際におむつ1を丸めた状態に保持するための部材であり、図3に示すように、背側胴回り部30の左右方向の中央において、不織布31の非肌側の面に設けられている。後処理テープ35の詳細については後述する。 The post-treatment tape 35 is a member for holding the diaper 1 in a rolled state when the used diaper 1 is discarded, and as shown in FIG. 3, at the center of the dorsal waist circumference portion 30 in the left-right direction. It is provided on the non-skin side surface of the non-woven fabric 31. Details of the post-processing tape 35 will be described later.
<外装体2と吸収性本体10との接合部の構成>
 以下、外装体2(腹側胴回り部20、背側胴回り部30)と吸収性本体10との接合部の構成について説明する。なお、ここでは腹側(腹側胴回り部20と吸収性本体10)の接合部分について説明するが、背側(背側胴回り部30と吸収性本体10)の接合部の構成についても同様である(背側の説明は省略する)。
<Structure of the joint between the exterior body 2 and the absorbent body 10>
Hereinafter, the configuration of the joint portion between the exterior body 2 (ventral waist circumference portion 20, dorsal waist circumference portion 30) and the absorbent main body 10 will be described. Here, the joint portion on the ventral side (ventral waist circumference portion 20 and the absorbent main body 10) will be described, but the same applies to the configuration of the joint portion on the dorsal side (dorsal waist circumference portion 30 and the absorbent main body 10). (The explanation on the back side is omitted).
 図5は、腹側胴回り部20と吸収性本体10との接合部(図4においてXで示す部分)の概略分解斜視図である。図6は、カバーシート15における開孔40の開孔パターンを示す拡大図である。 FIG. 5 is a schematic exploded perspective view of the joint portion (the portion indicated by X in FIG. 4) between the ventral waist circumference portion 20 and the absorbent main body 10. FIG. 6 is an enlarged view showing an opening pattern of the opening 40 in the cover sheet 15.
 図5に示すように、カバーシート15は複数の開孔40を有している。本実施形態において、開孔40は円形状の孔であり、カバーシート15を厚さ方向に貫通している。カバーシート15が上述したポリプロピレン、ポリエチレン等の熱可塑性樹脂繊維によって構成される場合、開孔40の形成は、例えば、加熱されたピン部材(不図示)等を使用して行うことが可能である。 As shown in FIG. 5, the cover sheet 15 has a plurality of openings 40. In the present embodiment, the opening 40 is a circular hole and penetrates the cover sheet 15 in the thickness direction. When the cover sheet 15 is made of the above-mentioned thermoplastic resin fiber such as polypropylene or polyethylene, the opening 40 can be formed by using, for example, a heated pin member (not shown). ..
 また、腹側胴回り部20の不織布21も複数の開孔40を有している。 Further, the non-woven fabric 21 of the ventral waist circumference 20 also has a plurality of openings 40.
 仮に、複数の開孔40を有する不織布21と、複数の開孔40を有するカバーシート15を直接接合した場合(例えば、腹側胴回り部20の最も肌側に不織布21を配置した場合)、両方のシートに開孔40があるため、接合面積が少なくなり、接合の強度が低下するおそれがある。特に、おむつ1では、外装体2(ここでは腹側胴回り部20)と吸収性本体10との接合部の強度が品質において重要である。 If the non-woven fabric 21 having a plurality of openings 40 and the cover sheet 15 having a plurality of openings 40 are directly joined (for example, when the non-woven fabric 21 is arranged on the skinmost side of the ventral waist circumference 20), both Since the sheet has holes 40, the bonding area may be reduced and the bonding strength may be reduced. In particular, in the diaper 1, the strength of the joint between the exterior body 2 (here, the ventral waist circumference 20) and the absorbent body 10 is important in terms of quality.
 そこで、本実施形態では、厚さ方向において不織布21とカバーシート15との間に、非開孔シート22を配置している。より具体的には、腹側胴回り部20を、不織布21と非開孔シート22の2枚のシートで形成するとともに、不織布21よりも肌側に非開孔シート22を配置している。こうすることにより、吸収性本体10と腹側胴回り部20とを接合する際には、複数の開孔40を有する不織布21と複数の開孔40を有するカバーシート15が、非開孔シート22を介して接合されることになる。 Therefore, in the present embodiment, the non-perforated sheet 22 is arranged between the non-woven fabric 21 and the cover sheet 15 in the thickness direction. More specifically, the ventral waist circumference 20 is formed of two sheets, a non-woven fabric 21 and a non-perforated sheet 22, and the non-perforated sheet 22 is arranged on the skin side of the non-woven fabric 21. By doing so, when the absorbent main body 10 and the ventral waist circumference portion 20 are joined, the non-woven fabric 21 having a plurality of openings 40 and the cover sheet 15 having a plurality of openings 40 make the non-perforated sheet 22. It will be joined through.
 このような構成とすることにより、不織布21とカバーシート15を直接接合する場合と比べて、接合部分の面積が多くなるので、吸収性本体10と腹側胴回り部20との接合強度を高めることができる。なお、本実施形態においてカバーシート15の開孔40は円形状であるが、これには限定されず、種々の形状(例えば楕円形状)であってもよい。不織布21や不織布31の開孔40についても同様である。 With such a configuration, the area of the joint portion is larger than that in the case where the non-woven fabric 21 and the cover sheet 15 are directly joined, so that the joint strength between the absorbent main body 10 and the ventral waist circumference portion 20 can be increased. it can. In the present embodiment, the opening 40 of the cover sheet 15 has a circular shape, but is not limited to this, and may have various shapes (for example, an elliptical shape). The same applies to the openings 40 of the non-woven fabric 21 and the non-woven fabric 31.
 また、図5及び図6に示すようにカバーシート15は、開孔領域15aと非開孔領域15bを備えている。 Further, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the cover sheet 15 includes a perforated region 15a and a non-perforated region 15b.
 開孔領域15aは、複数の開孔40が所定ピッチで並ぶ領域である。本実施形態では、開孔領域15aの開孔40は、図6に示すR方向及びR´方向に、それぞれ、ピッチd1で並んでいる。なお、R方向は、長手方向及び左右方向に対して斜めの方向であり、R´方向は、R方向と交差(本実施形態では直交)する方向である。ここで、仮に、複数の開孔40がランダムに形成されていると、おむつ1の引き上げ時に力が分散するので引き上げにくくなる。本実施形態では、複数の開孔40が規則正しく配置されているので、力が分散せず、引き上げやすい。 The opening area 15a is an area in which a plurality of opening 40s are lined up at a predetermined pitch. In the present embodiment, the openings 40 of the opening region 15a are arranged at a pitch d1 in the R direction and the R'direction shown in FIG. 6, respectively. The R direction is an oblique direction with respect to the longitudinal direction and the left-right direction, and the R'direction is a direction intersecting the R direction (orthogonal in the present embodiment). Here, if a plurality of openings 40 are randomly formed, the force is dispersed when the diaper 1 is pulled up, which makes it difficult to pull up the diaper 1. In the present embodiment, since the plurality of openings 40 are regularly arranged, the force is not dispersed and it is easy to pull up.
 非開孔領域15bは、開孔の存在しない領域である。本実施形態において、非開孔領域15bは、第1非開孔領域15bと第2非開孔領域15bを有している。図6に示すように、第1非開孔領域15bは、R方向に沿い、且つ、R´方向の幅(d2)がピッチd1よりも広い領域である。また、第2非開孔領域15bは、R´方向(R方向と交差する方向)に沿い、且つ、R方向の幅(d2)がピッチd1よりも広い領域である。 The non-perforated region 15b is a region where no perforation exists. In the present embodiment, the non-opening region 15b has a first non-opening region 15b 1 and a second non-opening region 15b 2 . As shown in FIG. 6, the first non-opening region 15b 1 is a region along the R direction and having a width (d2) in the R'direction wider than the pitch d1. Further, the second non-opening region 15b 2 is a region along the R'direction (direction intersecting the R direction) and having a width (d2) in the R direction wider than the pitch d1.
 このような非開孔領域15b(第1非開孔領域15b、第2非開孔領域15b)を設けることによって、全てが開孔領域15aである場合と比べて、接合面積が増えるので、接合強度をより高めることができる。 By providing such a non-perforated region 15b (first non-perforated region 15b 1 , second non-perforated region 15b 2 ), the joint area is increased as compared with the case where all of them are the open region 15a. , The joint strength can be further increased.
 また、仮に、非開孔領域15bを長手方向に沿って設けた場合、おむつ1の引き上げ時に開孔40の並ぶ長手方向の資材強度が弱くなっているため、開孔領域15aと非開孔領域15bの境界部分で破れが発生しやすい。これに対し、本実施形態の非開孔領域15bは、長手方向及び左右方向に対して斜めの方向に沿った領域(第1非開孔領域15b、第2非開孔領域15b)を有している。これにより長手方向及び左右方向への引っ張り等に対する強度を高めることができる。例えば、おむつ1を引き上げる際に破れにくくなる。 Further, if the non-perforated region 15b is provided along the longitudinal direction, the strength of the material in the longitudinal direction in which the perforations 40 are lined up is weakened when the diaper 1 is pulled up, so that the perforated region 15a and the non-perforated region 15a Tear is likely to occur at the boundary portion of 15b. On the other hand, the non-perforated region 15b of the present embodiment is a region (first non-perforated region 15b 1 , second non-perforated region 15b 2 ) along the direction oblique to the longitudinal direction and the left-right direction. Have. As a result, the strength against tension in the longitudinal direction and the lateral direction can be increased. For example, it becomes difficult to tear when pulling up the diaper 1.
 また、本実施形態の第1非開孔領域15bと第2非開孔領域15bは、開孔領域15aを囲む格子状に形成されている。これにより、開孔40が存在することによる開孔領域15aの部分の資材の弱さを、非開孔領域15b(第1非開孔領域15b及び第2非開孔領域15b)が補うことができる。 Further, the first non-opening region 15b 1 and the second non-opening region 15b 2 of the present embodiment are formed in a grid pattern surrounding the open region 15a. As a result, the non-opening region 15b (first non-opening region 15b 1 and second non-opening region 15b 2 ) compensates for the weakness of the material in the portion of the perforated region 15a due to the presence of the perforated 40. be able to.
 なお、本実施形態では、開孔領域15aが略正方形となるように、第1非開孔領域15b及び第2非開孔領域15bが設けられているが、これには限られない。例えば、開孔領域15aが略長方形となるように第1非開孔領域15b及び第2非開孔領域15bが設けられていてもよい。また、本実施形態では、第1非開孔領域15bと第2非開孔領域15bは直交しているが、交差していればよい(直交していなくてもよい)。例えば、開孔領域15aの形状が菱形になるように、第1非開孔領域15b及び第2非開孔領域15bが設けられていてもよい。 In the present embodiment, the first non-opening region 15b 1 and the second non-opening region 15b 2 are provided so that the perforated region 15a is substantially square, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the first non-opening region 15b 1 and the second non-opening region 15b 2 may be provided so that the perforated region 15a is substantially rectangular. Further, in the present embodiment, the first non-perforated region 15b 1 and the second non-perforated region 15b 2 are orthogonal to each other, but may intersect each other (they may not be orthogonal to each other). For example, the first non-opening region 15b 1 and the second non-opening region 15b 2 may be provided so that the shape of the perforated region 15a becomes a rhombus.
 吸収性本体10と腹側胴回り部20と(具体的には、カバーシート15と非開孔シート22)はホットメルト接着剤で接合されている。ホットメルト接着剤としては、例えば、EVA系、エラストマー系、オレフィン系、ポリエステル・ポリアミド系などを使用できる。ホットメルト接着剤の塗布方法としては、螺旋状に塗布できるスパイラル塗工、波状に塗布できるオメガ塗工やコントロールシーム塗工等の公知の塗布方法を例示できる。 The absorbent body 10 and the ventral waist circumference 20 (specifically, the cover sheet 15 and the non-perforated sheet 22) are joined with a hot melt adhesive. As the hot melt adhesive, for example, EVA type, elastomer type, olefin type, polyester / polyamide type and the like can be used. Examples of the hot melt adhesive coating method include known coating methods such as spiral coating that can be applied in a spiral shape, omega coating that can be applied in a wavy shape, and control seam coating.
 本実施形態では、吸収性本体10と腹側胴回り部20との接合部(カバーシート15と非開孔シート22の接合面)において、ホットメルト接着剤は、ストットコーター方式等によって面状に塗布されおり、開孔領域15aと、非開孔領域15b(第1非開孔領域15b及び第2非開孔領域15b)を跨いでいる。これにより、外装体2(ここでは腹側胴回り部20)と吸収性本体10との接合強度を高めることができる。なお、本実施形態では、不織布21(31)と非開孔シート22(32)は、弾性部材23(33)の周囲に塗布されたホットメルト接着剤で接合されている(図8参照)。但し、これには限られず、弾性部材23、33とは別の位置にホットメルト接着剤を塗布して接合してもよい。 In the present embodiment, the hot melt adhesive is applied in a surface shape at the joint portion between the absorbent main body 10 and the ventral waist circumference portion (the joint surface between the cover sheet 15 and the non-perforated sheet 22) by a stot coater method or the like. It straddles the open region 15a and the non-open region 15b (first non-open region 15b 1 and second non-open region 15b 2 ). As a result, the joint strength between the exterior body 2 (here, the ventral waist circumference 20) and the absorbent body 10 can be increased. In the present embodiment, the non-woven fabric 21 (31) and the non-perforated sheet 22 (32) are joined with a hot melt adhesive applied around the elastic member 23 (33) (see FIG. 8). However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a hot melt adhesive may be applied to a position different from the elastic members 23 and 33 for joining.
 また、腹側胴回り部20の不織布21も、カバーシート15と同じパターンで複数の開孔40が設けられている。すなわち、不織布21は、複数の開孔40がピッチd1で並ぶ開孔領域21aと、開孔が存在しない非開孔領域21bを備えている。また非開孔領域21bは、格子状に形成された第1非開孔領域21bと第2非開孔領域21bを有している。そして、厚さ方向において、カバーシート15の非開孔領域15bと不織布21の非開孔領域21bは、非開孔シート22を挟んだ状態で重なっている。これにより、腹側胴回り部20と吸収体10との接合強度を更に高めることができる。なお、本実施形態では、非開孔領域15bと非開孔領域21bが厚さ方向に完全に重なることとしているが、これには限られず、各非開孔領域の少なくとも一部が重なっていればよい(例えば、左右方向や長手方向にずれて配置されていても良い)。これにより、非開孔領域同士が厚さ方向に重ならない場合と比べて、接続強度を高めることができる。また、本実施形態では、不織布21の複数の開孔40の開孔パターン(開孔領域21a、非開孔領域21b)と、カバーシート15の複数の開孔40の開孔パターン(開孔領域15a、非開孔領域15b)が同じであるが、異なっていてもよい。 Further, the non-woven fabric 21 of the ventral waist circumference 20 is also provided with a plurality of openings 40 in the same pattern as the cover sheet 15. That is, the non-woven fabric 21 includes an opening region 21a in which a plurality of openings 40 are lined up at a pitch d1 and a non-opening region 21b in which no openings exist. Further, the non-opening region 21b has a first non-opening region 21b 1 and a second non-opening region 21b 2 formed in a grid pattern. Then, in the thickness direction, the non-perforated region 15b of the cover sheet 15 and the non-perforated region 21b of the non-woven fabric 21 overlap each other with the non-perforated sheet 22 sandwiched between them. As a result, the joint strength between the ventral waist circumference 20 and the absorber 10 can be further increased. In the present embodiment, the non-perforated region 15b and the non-perforated region 21b are completely overlapped in the thickness direction, but the present invention is not limited to this, and at least a part of each non-opening region is overlapped. (For example, they may be arranged so as to be offset in the left-right direction or the longitudinal direction). As a result, the connection strength can be increased as compared with the case where the non-opened regions do not overlap each other in the thickness direction. Further, in the present embodiment, the opening patterns of the plurality of openings 40 of the non-woven fabric 21 (opening regions 21a, non-opening regions 21b) and the opening patterns of the plurality of openings 40 of the cover sheet 15 (opening regions). 15a, non-woven area 15b) are the same, but may be different.
 背側胴回り部30側の構成(背側胴回り部30と吸収性本体10との接合部)についても同様であり、背側胴回り部30の不織布31にも、カバーシート15のパターンと同じパターンで複数の開孔40が設けられている。すなわち、不織布31は、複数の開孔40がピッチd1で並ぶ開孔領域31aと、開孔40が存在しない非開孔領域31bを備えている。また、非開孔領域31bは、格子状に形成された第1非開孔領域31b、第2非開孔領域31bを有している。そして、厚さ方向において、カバーシート15の非開孔領域15bと不織布31の非開孔領域31bは、非開孔シート32を挟んだ状態で重なっている。これにより、背側胴回り部30と吸収体10との接合強度を高めることができる。 The same applies to the configuration on the back side waist circumference 30 side (the joint portion between the back side waist circumference portion 30 and the absorbent body 10), and the non-woven fabric 31 of the back side waist circumference portion 30 has the same pattern as the cover sheet 15. A plurality of openings 40 are provided. That is, the non-woven fabric 31 includes an opening region 31a in which a plurality of openings 40 are lined up at a pitch d1 and a non-opening region 31b in which the openings 40 do not exist. Further, the non-opening region 31b has a first non-opening region 31b 1 and a second non-opening region 31b 2 formed in a grid pattern. Then, in the thickness direction, the non-perforated region 15b of the cover sheet 15 and the non-perforated region 31b of the non-woven fabric 31 overlap each other with the non-perforated sheet 32 sandwiched between them. As a result, the joint strength between the dorsal waist circumference portion 30 and the absorber 10 can be increased.
 また、吸収性本体10のカバーシート15は、胴回り部(腹側胴回り部20、背側胴回り部30)の弾性部材23,33の不連続領域23a,33aの左右方向の外側において、弾性部材23,33の有効長と厚さ方向に重なる部位の領域(図3においてYで示す範囲の領域)に非開孔領域15bの少なくとも一部を有している(好ましくは、この領域全体が非開孔領域15bである)。ここで、弾性部材23,33の有効長とは、弾性部材23,33に左右方向に収縮する力が働く領域のことである。 Further, the cover sheet 15 of the absorbent main body 10 is provided on the outer side of the discontinuous regions 23a and 33a of the elastic members 23 and 33 of the waist circumference portion (ventral waist circumference portion 20 and dorsal waist circumference portion 30) in the left-right direction. , 33 has at least a part of the non-perforated region 15b in the region (the region in the range indicated by Y in FIG. 3) that overlaps with the effective length in the thickness direction (preferably, the entire region is non-open). Hole region 15b). Here, the effective length of the elastic members 23 and 33 is a region in which a force for contracting the elastic members 23 and 33 acts in the left-right direction.
 接合部分のうち、この領域は、弾性部材22,23の弾性力によって資材が伸び縮みするため、剥がれやすい。よって、当該部位の接着強度を上げる為、当該領域のカバーシート15を非開孔にして接合面積を増やすことで、接合強度を高めることができる。 Of the jointed portion, this region is easily peeled off because the material expands and contracts due to the elastic force of the elastic members 22 and 23. Therefore, in order to increase the adhesive strength of the portion, the bonding strength can be increased by increasing the bonding area by making the cover sheet 15 of the region non-perforated.
 また、吸収性本体10のカバーシート15は、一対の脚周り開口LH側の端部(図3においてTAで示す部分)にも非開孔領域15bの少なくとも一部を有している。一方、胴回り部(腹側胴回り部20、背側胴回り部30)の不織布21,31は、一対の脚周り開口LH側の端部(図3においてTBで示す部分)に開孔領域21a、開孔領域31aの少なくとも一部を有している。 Further, the cover sheet 15 of the absorbent main body 10 also has at least a part of the non-opening region 15b at the end portion (the portion indicated by TA in FIG. 3) on the LH side of the pair of leg circumference openings. On the other hand, the non-woven fabrics 21 and 31 of the waist circumference portion (ventral waist circumference portion 20 and dorsal waist circumference portion 30) have an opening region 21a at the end portion (the portion indicated by TB in FIG. 3) on the LH side of the pair of leg circumference openings. It has at least a part of the hole region 31a.
 これにより、脚周り開口LHのうちの下側部分(図3のTAの部分)が非開孔となるため、漏れを抑制でき、脚周り開口LHのうちの上側部分(図3のTBの部分)は複数の開孔40が存在することで柔らかくなり通気性も良くなる。 As a result, the lower portion of the leg circumference opening LH (the portion of TA in FIG. 3) becomes a non-open hole, so that leakage can be suppressed, and the upper portion of the leg circumference opening LH (the portion of TB in FIG. 3) can be suppressed. ) Is softened by the presence of a plurality of openings 40, and the air permeability is also improved.
<後処理テープ35について>
 前述したように、背側胴回り部30の非肌側の面には後処理テープ35が設けられている。
<About post-processing tape 35>
As described above, the post-treatment tape 35 is provided on the non-skin side surface of the dorsal waist circumference portion 30.
 図7は、展開状態の後処理テープ35の概略斜視図であり、図8は、図3のB-B概略断面である。なお、図8では吸収性本体10の図示を省略している。 FIG. 7 is a schematic perspective view of the post-processing tape 35 in the unfolded state, and FIG. 8 is a schematic cross section of BB of FIG. Note that FIG. 8 omits the illustration of the absorbent body 10.
 後処理テープ35は、テープ本体35aと、支持部35bと、摘まみ部35cを有している。 The post-treatment tape 35 has a tape body 35a, a support portion 35b, and a knob portion 35c.
 テープ本体35aは、細長い帯状の部材である。おむつ1に設けられたテープ本体35aは、図8に示すように、長手方向に折り畳まれた状態となっている。すなわち、折り畳まれた状態のテープ本体35aにおいて、互いに対向する面(支持部35bに対向する面も含む)における少なくとも一部には剥離可能な粘着強度の粘着層(不図示)が設けられていて、これにより、テープ本体35aは、折り畳まれた状態に仮固定されている。 The tape body 35a is an elongated strip-shaped member. As shown in FIG. 8, the tape main body 35a provided on the diaper 1 is in a state of being folded in the longitudinal direction. That is, in the folded tape body 35a, at least a part of the surfaces facing each other (including the surface facing the support portion 35b) is provided with a peelable adhesive layer (not shown). As a result, the tape body 35a is temporarily fixed in the folded state.
 支持部35bは、テープ本体35を支持する部位であり、本実施形態では、テープ本体35aの端部において二股(テープ本体35aの表裏方向)に分岐した部位である。換言すると、支持部35bの両端の間にテープ本体35aの一端が接続されている。また、図8に示すように、テープ本体35aとは反対側の支持部35bの面は、背側胴回り部30の非肌側の面(すなわち不織布31の非肌側の面)に、ホットメルト接着剤等で剥離不能に固定(接合)されている。これにより、後処理テープ35(支持部35b)と、不織布31との間に接合領域36が形成されている。 The support portion 35b is a portion that supports the tape main body 35, and in the present embodiment, is a portion that is bifurcated (front and back directions of the tape main body 35a) at the end portion of the tape main body 35a. In other words, one end of the tape body 35a is connected between both ends of the support portion 35b. Further, as shown in FIG. 8, the surface of the support portion 35b opposite to the tape body 35a is hot-melted on the non-skin side surface of the dorsal waist circumference portion 30 (that is, the non-skin side surface of the non-woven fabric 31). It is fixed (joined) so that it cannot be peeled off with an adhesive or the like. As a result, the bonding region 36 is formed between the post-treatment tape 35 (support portion 35b) and the non-woven fabric 31.
 摘まみ部35cは、後処理テープ35(テープ本体35a)を引き剥がす際に指で把持する部位であり、テープ本体35aにおいて支持部35bとは反対側の端部に設けられている。 The knob portion 35c is a portion to be gripped by a finger when the post-processing tape 35 (tape body 35a) is peeled off, and is provided at an end portion of the tape body 35a opposite to the support portion 35b.
 かかる後処理テープ35の各部材の素材としては、ポリエチレンやポリプロピレン等の樹脂素材を例示できるが、何等これに限らない。例えば、紙等のパルプ素材でも良い。 Examples of the material of each member of the post-treatment tape 35 include resin materials such as polyethylene and polypropylene, but the material is not limited to this. For example, a pulp material such as paper may be used.
 図9A~図9Cは、後処理テープ35を引き剥がすときの様子を示す概略図である。 9A to 9C are schematic views showing a state when the post-treatment tape 35 is peeled off.
 使用後のおむつ1を廃棄する際には、摘まみ部35cを摘まんで支持部35bから離れる方向に向けて引っ張る。すると、図9A~図9Cに示すように、折り畳まれたテープ本体35aが次第に剥離していく。 When disposing of the used diaper 1, the knob portion 35c is picked and pulled in a direction away from the support portion 35b. Then, as shown in FIGS. 9A to 9C, the folded tape body 35a is gradually peeled off.
 そして、図9Cに示すように、テープ本体35aを完全に剥がした後、吸収性本体10が内側になるようにしつつ長手方向に丸めたおむつ1に対して、テープ本体35aを巻き回すことにより、おむつ1を丸めた状態に保持することができる。 Then, as shown in FIG. 9C, after the tape body 35a is completely peeled off, the tape body 35a is wound around the diaper 1 rolled in the longitudinal direction while keeping the absorbent body 10 inside. The diaper 1 can be held in a rolled state.
 ここで、不織布31は、接合領域36(後処理テープ35と不織布31との接合領域)の少なくとも一部に、非開孔領域31bを有することが望ましい。非開孔領域31bと接合領域36が接合されることで、不織布31の強度が増し、後処理テープ35を剥がす際に、不織布31が破れることを抑制できる。 Here, it is desirable that the non-woven fabric 31 has a non-perforated region 31b in at least a part of the bonding region 36 (the bonding region between the post-treatment tape 35 and the non-woven fabric 31). By joining the non-perforated region 31b and the bonding region 36, the strength of the non-woven fabric 31 is increased, and it is possible to prevent the non-woven fabric 31 from being torn when the post-treatment tape 35 is peeled off.
 また、図8において、不織布31と非開孔シート32は、弾性部材33の周囲に直接塗布されたホットメルト接着剤(不図示)で接合されている。そして、厚さ方向において、支持部35b(後処理テープ35)と不織布31との接合領域36と、不織布31と非開孔シート32との接合領域(ここでは弾性部材33)とが一部重なっている。このように、厚さ方向において、接合領域36と、不織布31と非開孔シート32との接合領域とが少なくとも一部重なっていることが望ましい。これにより後処理テープ35を剥がす際に、不織布31のみが引っ張られないため、不織布31が破れにくい。また、後処理テープ35を剥がしやすい。 Further, in FIG. 8, the non-woven fabric 31 and the non-perforated sheet 32 are joined with a hot melt adhesive (not shown) directly applied around the elastic member 33. Then, in the thickness direction, the joint region 36 between the support portion 35b (post-treatment tape 35) and the non-woven fabric 31 and the joint region between the non-woven fabric 31 and the non-perforated sheet 32 (here, the elastic member 33) partially overlap. ing. As described above, it is desirable that the bonding region 36 and the bonding region between the non-woven fabric 31 and the non-perforated sheet 32 overlap at least partially in the thickness direction. As a result, when the post-treatment tape 35 is peeled off, only the non-woven fabric 31 is not pulled, so that the non-woven fabric 31 is not easily torn. In addition, the post-treatment tape 35 can be easily peeled off.
 また、上述したように、不織布31と非開孔シート32は、弾性部材33の周囲に塗布されたホットメルト接着剤で接合されており、弾性部材33は左右方向に沿って配置されているため、不織布31と非開孔シート32との接合領域(換言すると弾性部材33)は、後処理テープ35を左右方向に跨いでいる(図3参照)。(後処理テープ35周辺の)不不織布31は、後処理テープ35の引っ張る力により、後処理テープ35側に引っ張られ、開孔部40を起点に破れるおそれがある。そこで、後処理テープ35の引っ張る力に抗うように、不織布31と非開孔シート32との接合領域を後処理テープ35の左右方向に跨がせると、(後処理テープ35周辺の)開孔部40から不織布31が破れるのを抑制できる。 Further, as described above, the non-woven fabric 31 and the non-perforated sheet 32 are joined by a hot melt adhesive applied around the elastic member 33, and the elastic member 33 is arranged along the left-right direction. The bonding region between the non-woven fabric 31 and the non-perforated sheet 32 (in other words, the elastic member 33) straddles the post-treatment tape 35 in the left-right direction (see FIG. 3). The non-woven fabric 31 (around the post-treatment tape 35) may be pulled toward the post-treatment tape 35 by the pulling force of the post-treatment tape 35 and may be torn from the opening 40. Therefore, when the bonding region between the non-woven fabric 31 and the non-perforated sheet 32 is straddled in the left-right direction of the post-treatment tape 35 so as to resist the pulling force of the post-treatment tape 35, the holes (around the post-treatment tape 35) are opened. It is possible to prevent the non-woven fabric 31 from being torn from the portion 40.
 さらに、本実施形態の後処理テープ35では、支持部35bがテープ本体35aの端部で二股に分岐しているので、テープ本体35aが引っ張られる際に、支持部35bの両端部の間(支持部35bとテープ本体35aとの接続部)において引っ張り応力が最も大きくなる。これにより、テープ本体35aを引っ張っても、支持部35bの端部からの剥がれが生じにくい。 Further, in the post-treatment tape 35 of the present embodiment, since the support portion 35b is bifurcated at the end portion of the tape body 35a, when the tape body 35a is pulled, it is between both ends of the support portion 35b (support). The tensile stress is greatest at the connection portion between the portion 35b and the tape body 35a). As a result, even if the tape body 35a is pulled, peeling from the end portion of the support portion 35b is unlikely to occur.
