[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention enhances the removability of a sick person, the elderly and other wearers of paper pants, thereby reducing the physical burden on the wearer and his / her caregiver and reducing the mental burden on the wearer. The present invention relates to paper pants that can be reduced.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, paper pants comprising a stomach pad and a waist pad for covering a wearer's abdomen and waist, and a crotch pad which is cross-linked at both lower ends to cover the wearer's crotch are well known. is there.

[0003] For example, in the paper pants according to Japanese Patent No. 2892771, the belly pad and the waist pad are integrally joined to each other at their both ends so that they cannot be peeled off. In the case of this form, it is necessary to completely undress the underpants when worn on the wearer, and it is necessary to cut or break both ends of the belly pad and the waist pad when removing the underpants from the wearer. For example, there are difficulties in detachability from the wearer, and for these reasons, both the wearer and his / her caregiver have been forced to bear a large physical burden.

On the other hand, in the paper pants according to Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 6-55623 and Utility Model Registration No. 2565933,
The stomach pad and the waist pad can be detachably joined to each other at both ends thereof by joining means made of a hook-and-loop fastener or an adhesive. In this form,
Since the peeling and joining of the both ends are possible, complete undressing of the underpunch is not required when mounting on the wearer, and also at the time of removal from the wearer, cutting or breaking or undercut of the both sides is required. Since complete undressing is not required, the detachability of the paper pants at the time of attachment to the wearer and removal from the wearer is improved.

[0005] However, even in the paper pants with improved detachability to the wearer as described above, even if only the lower part of the pants such as the crotch pad is soiled, the entire paper pants are discarded and another new one is added. Need to be replaced, which leads to waste of resources and increased waste,
Further, when the caregiver wears the wearer on the wearer or removes the wearer from the wearer, etc., the wearer's abdomen and waist and the entire crotch part are temporarily exposed, thereby imposing a mental burden on the wearer regarding anxiety and shame. And so on.

[0006]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to not only reduce the physical burden on the wearer and his / her caregiver by improving the detachability when the wearer is attached to or removed from the wearer. Promote effective use of resources and reduction of waste,
Moreover, it is an object of the present invention to provide paper pants that can reduce the mental burden on the wearer.

[0007]

The above objects can be attained all at once by the present invention. That is, the paper pants according to the present invention is a paper pants composed of an upper pants member and a lower pants member, and the upper pants member is composed of an upper belly pad and an upper waist pad that covers the upper abdomen of the wearer. Along with
The lower pants member includes a lower abdomen pad and a lower waist pad that cover the lower abdomen and the waist of the wearer, and a crotch pad that covers the crotch of the wearer by being bridged at both lower ends thereof. And the lower waist pad and the upper waist pad and the lower waist pad can be detachably connected to each other via first connecting means, and the upper belly pad and the upper waist pad are connected to each other at both side ends thereof. Are formed and cooperate with each other to form a first opening which can expand and contract in the circumferential direction, and the lower abdomen pad and the lower waist pad can be detachably joined at both side ends thereof via second joining means. The lower abdomen pad and the lower waist pad, which are joined to each other at both ends, cooperate with each other to form a second opening that can be expanded and contracted in the circumferential direction, and cooperate with the crotch pad. The third opening that can expand and contract in the direction It is characterized in that so as to form on both sides.

When the paper pants are worn on the wearer, the upper pants member consisting of the upper abdomen patch and the upper waist patch is usually connected to each other at both side ends of the paper pants and the upper abdomen of the wearer. The lower pants member consisting of a lower abdomen pad and a lower waist pad, both lower ends of which are bridged by a crotch pad, is attached to the lower abdomen and waist from the crotch part of the wearer, and the upper abdomen pad The lower abdomen pad and the upper waist pad and the lower waist pad are detachably connected to each other via the first connecting means, and the lower abdomen pad and the lower waist pad are further connected at both side ends thereof via the second connecting means. Each is detachably joined.
