Abstract

Le problème décrit par la présente invention est de conférer une bonne texture à une zone proche d'une ouverture de taille et d'empêcher le déplacement d'une feuille. La solution selon l'invention porte sur une partie de taille W qui a une partie externe 18 dans laquelle une première feuille 12S et une seconde feuille 12H sont stratifiées, et une partie interne 19 qui est reliée à la partie externe 18 et dans laquelle la première feuille 12S et la seconde feuille 12H s'étendant depuis la partie externe 18 sont pliées vers l'intérieur au bord d'une ouverture de taille WO. La partie de taille W a une pluralité d'éléments élastiques de taille 17 entre la partie externe 18 et la partie interne 19. La première feuille 12S et la seconde feuille 12H sont thermosoudées au niveau d'une position de connexion 80 à travers la partie externe 18 et la partie interne 19 dans la direction avant-arrière LD. Dans une région de bord interne Ei près de l'ouverture de taille WO dans la partie interne 19, une partie fortement liée 81 est disposée à un emplacement, et au moins l'une d'une partie faiblement liée 82 et d'une partie non liée 83 est disposée dans une autre zone de celle-ci. Dans une région s'étendant à partir de la région de bord interne Ei, des parties faiblement liées 82 sont disposées périodiquement dans la direction avant-arrière LD avec des parties non liées 83 entre elles.
