- the waist opening can be easily expanded when worn.
- the extension stress of the lower part 52 is relatively high, it can be stably fitted to the wearer's body around the leg and can exhibit a required holding force.
- the diaper 10 is a so-called low-rise type that has a shallow crotch, where the width dimension of the waist belt 17 is smaller than the width dimension of the diaper body, and is easily displaced by the movement of the wearer during wear. Such a positional shift can be suppressed by being stably fitted to the body at 52.
- the elongation stress of the upper part 51 and the lower part 52 was measured by the following method using a tensile tester manufactured by Instron Japan Company Limited.
- the absorbent body 23 is removed from the diaper 10, and the regions forming the front and rear waist regions 11 and 12 extending in the direction around the waist are cut out to obtain an annular elastic panel.

- the outbound stress of sample 1 was 1.082N and the outbound stress of sample 2 was 1.083N, both of which were almost the same magnitude. Therefore, in the front and rear waist regions 11 and 12, the extension stress when stretched in the direction around the waist is substantially the same, and when worn, the entire front and rear waist regions 11 and 12 are expanded with a relatively small force. Can do.
- the return stress of Sample 1 was 3.476 N
- the return stress of Sample 2 was 4.557 N. Therefore, in a wearing state, it can be said that the leg opening side of the front and rear waist regions 11 and 12 fits the body more than the waist opening side.

- the difference between the expansion ratio of the lower waist elastic body 34 and the expansion ratio of the upper waist elastic body 33 is 0.5 times or less.
- the expansion ratio of the upper waist elastic body 33 is 3.2 to 3.7 times, and the expansion ratio of the lower waist elastic body 34 is 2.7 to 3.2 times. In this way, by setting the expansion ratio of the lower waist elastic body 34 to be relatively low, the amount of contraction of the lower portion 52 is smaller than that of the upper portion 51, and the leg opening is smaller in the contracted state than in the expanded state.
- the leg elastic sheet 27 in the lower portion 52 instead of adjusting the pitch and number of the upper waist elastic body 33 and the lower waist elastic body 34, the size of the leg opening edge in the contracted state is reduced to the leg.
- the elastic sheet 27 is larger than the state in which the elastic sheet 27 is not arranged, the leg opening can be made larger, and further, the upper and lower parts 51 and 52 are set so as to cause a difference in elongation stress. Even when 52 has a relatively high elongation stress, it fits in a planar shape and the biting into the skin is suppressed.
- the thickness of the lower waist elastic body 34 is larger than that of the upper waist elastic body 33.

- the length dimension L6 of the lower part 52 is 50 to 80% of the length dimension L5 of the upper part 51.
- the waist belt 17 is a diaper through joint lines 18A and 18B so that the first side edge 17c side is the leg opening edge side and the second side edge 17d side is the waist opening edge side.
- the main body 16 is joined to the front and rear end portions 20A and 20B so as to be contractable in an extended state. In this embodiment, it intersects perpendicularly with the waist opening edge in the intersection 61 of the boundary line 60 of the waist belt 17 and the diaper main body 16 which forms the inner edge of the joining line 18A, and a waist opening edge (it extends in parallel with the longitudinal centerline P).
- intersection angle ⁇ 1 which is the intersection angle between the imaginary line 62 and the boundary line, is the difference between the imaginary line 64 and the boundary line perpendicular to the waist opening edge at the intersection 63 of the boundary line and the waist opening edge forming the inner edge of the joint line 18B. It is the same as the intersection angle ⁇ 2. However, if necessary, the crossing angles ⁇ 1 and ⁇ 2 may be different from each other. In that case, the front side (abdominal side) and the rear side (back side) of the diaper 10 can be easily worn at the time of wearing. Can be identified.
- the wearer or the wear assistant concentrates the force to grip and lift the waist belt 17 and the force to pull the waist elastic bodies 33 and 34 in the direction around the waist.
- the stress concentrates at the intersections 61 and 63 between the waist opening and the joining line 18A, and the tearing is likely to occur.
- the joining line 18A since a plurality of sheets are joined and integrated by heat welding means instead of a hot melt adhesive, the rigidity is relatively high, and even when such force is concentrated. It is possible to suppress the diaper 10 from being broken.
- the bonding area of the entire bonding lines 18A and 18B or the portion on the intersection points 61 and 63 side is made larger than that of other portions to locally increase the bonding strength.
- the sheet strength may be increased by attaching a reinforcing sheet to a region including the portion.
- the longitudinal dimension Y2 of the absorbent body 23 is about 65 to 95% of the longitudinal dimension L1 of the diaper 10 (diaper body 16).
- the longitudinal dimension of the absorbent body is about 60% of the longitudinal dimension of the diaper, and is a portion formed only of a sheet member positioned on the outer side in the longitudinal direction from the absorbent body of the diaper. The area is relatively large.
- the absorbent body 23 has a length dimension sufficient to exhibit the required absorption performance, while comparing the area of the portion consisting only of the sheet member positioned outside in the longitudinal direction Y. By making it small, it can manufacture with fewer materials and can suppress manufacturing cost.
- the waist opening is lower than the umbilicus part in the worn state. It becomes a clean wearing aspect with low rise like that.
- the diaper 10 has a curved shape such that the waist opening is convex downward as a whole. That is, since the position of the center part in the lateral direction of the front and rear waist regions 11 and 12 is located below the both side portions, the length dimension of the upper and lower areas is the same or the length dimension of the upper area is lower. Compared to a conventional diaper larger than the length of the side area, it can give a clean impression and is excellent in design.
- the waist belt 17 when the waist belt 17 is pulled up when the diaper 10 is worn, stress is concentrated on the joining lines 18A and 18B.
- the second side edge 17b of the waist belt 17 is in a non-wearing position (position of the second side edge 17b indicated by a virtual line in FIG. 5).
- the tensile stress increases and the tearing is likely to occur.
- both end portions 41A and 41B of the high rigidity region 41 extend to the end portions 45 of the joining lines 18A and 18B. Therefore, the end portion 45 is laminated as compared with the low rigidity region 42. The number of sheets being increased (see FIG.
- the width dimension W2 of the high rigidity region 41 is in the range of about 3 to 30 mm in consideration of the balance between the fit by the high rigidity region 41 and the touch by the low rigidity region 42. Is more preferable, and a range of about 5 to 15 mm is more preferable.
- the leg elastic body 26 and the lower waist elastic body 34 are arranged so as not to overlap each other in the thickness direction Z. Thereby, it is possible to suppress the tensile force due to the elastic bodies 26 and 34 from being concentrated on one point on the joining lines 18A and 18B (see the enlarged view in FIG. 8), and to be more difficult to break.
- a part of the leg elastic body 26 is positioned outside the lower waist elastic body 34 in the lateral direction X, thereby effectively preventing the side leakage of excrement from the leg opening edge. Can be prevented.
- the bent portion 36 is positioned at the edge of the waist opening 14, so that the portion where the bent portion 36 is located is more than the other portions of the waist belt 17, as in the leg opening 15.
- High rigidity is also formed in the waist high rigidity region. Therefore, when the diaper 10 is worn, the diaper 10 can be pulled up by placing a finger on the boundary between the high rigidity region of the waist and the relatively low rigidity region adjacent thereto. The boundary is easy to bend due to the difference in rigidity, and the high rigidity region of the waist is convex as compared to the adjacent part. Becomes easier.
- the waist high rigidity region extends to the joining lines 18A and 18B of the front and rear waist regions 11 and 12, the number of sheets stacked is increased at the end of the joining lines 18A and 18B on the waist opening 14 side. Therefore, the bonding strength is increased, and the occurrence of tearing from the end portion can be prevented.
- the diaper 10 of the present embodiment can give an impression of underwear as compared to a diaper whose front and rear waist regions are formed by an annular waist belt, and is a relatively shallow crotch that is preferred for light incontinence for adults. It is suitable as a waist type (low-rise type) diaper.
- the thickness dimension of the absorber 23 is relatively small, and a leak-proof flap that rises toward the wearer is formed on the skin facing surface side of the absorber 23.
- the number of sheet members laminated in the low-rigidity region 42 is preferably two or less, and more preferably one.
- the high rigidity region 41 it is preferable that two or more (preferably 2 to 3) sheet members are laminated and an elastic material (for example, a leg elastic body) is disposed.
- the waist elastic sheet 35 gradually becomes narrower from the both end portions 35A and 35B located on the joining lines 18A and 18B side toward the center portion 35C in the waist direction in the upper portion 51 of the leg opening 15. It is the narrowest in the central part (the narrowest part) 35C.
- the leg elastic sheet 27 is gradually narrowed from both end portions 27A and 27B located on the side of the joining lines 18A and 18B toward the central portion (the narrowest portion) 27C in the waist direction.
- the portion 27C is the narrowest. Since the waist elastic sheet 35 and the leg elastic sheet 27 have such a shape, the both ends 27A, 27B, 35A, and 35B of both sheets located on the joining lines 18A and 18B side are within the wearer's body.
- the center of the thigh is easily fitted to the root of the thigh where a gap is easily formed between the diaper 10 and the center portions 27C and 35C are placed in contact with the vicinity of the hip bone and the outer portion of the thigh with the least movement in the body.
- By contacting it is possible to achieve an appropriate fit to the body while suppressing the material cost compared to the case where the entire elastic sheet is formed with the same width dimension.
- FIG. 10 is a cross-sectional view similar to FIG. 5 of the diaper 10 in an example of a modification.
- an auxiliary sheet 70 made of a fiber nonwoven fabric having elasticity or inelasticity is fixed to the skin facing surface side of the side sheet 25 (or the first side sea 25A) with an adhesive.
- the auxiliary sheet 70 may be fixed not to the skin facing surface side of the side sheet 25 but to the non-skin facing surface side, and may be formed from a plurality of sheets instead of one sheet.

Abstract
Description
図3~図5を参照すると、おむつ本体16は、縦方向Yにおいて離間対向する前端縁16a及び後端縁16bと、横方向Xにおいて離間対向する両側縁16c,16dとによって画定されており、前端縁16a間に位置する前端部20Aと、後端縁16b間に位置する後端部20Bと、前後端部20A,20Bの間に位置する中間部20Cとを有する。前後端縁16a,16bは、それぞれ、縦中心線Pに関してほぼ対称であって、縦方向Yの外側へ向かって凸状に延びている。前後端部20A,20Bは、それぞれ、おむつ10の前後ウエスト域11,12に位置し、中間部20Cはクロッチ域13に位置する。
図2及び3を参照すると、ウエストベルト17は、接合ライン18A,18Bを介しておむつ本体16に接合された両端縁(前後端縁)17a,17bと、おむつ本体16の両側縁16c,16dとともにレッグ開口15を形成する下側縁17cと、ウエスト開口縁を形成する上側縁17dとを有する。ウエストベルト17は、ウエスト開口側(第1側縁側)に位置する上方部分51と、レッグ開口側(第2側縁側)に位置する下方部分52とに区分される。上方部分と下方部分との幅方向の寸法は、それぞれ、ウエストベルト17の幅寸法W1の約30~70%であって、好ましくは、50%の大きさを有する。したがって、例えば、通常の成人用のおむつのMサイズの場合には、ウエストベルト17の幅寸法W1が、約70mmであって、上下方部分51,52の幅寸法は約35mmである。
上方部分51と下方部分52との伸長応力は、インストロン ジャパン カンパニーリミテッド社製の引張試験機を用いて、以下の方法で測定した。まず、おむつ10から吸収体23を取り除き、ウエスト回り方向へ延びる、前後ウエスト域11,12を形成する領域を切り出して環状の弾性パネルを得て、弾性パネルのうちの幅寸法の中央部分(縦方向Yの中央部分)においてウエスト回り方向へ延びるカットラインでカットすることによって、前後ウエスト域11,12の上方部分11Aに相当する環状の試料1と、前後ウエスト域の11,12の下方部分11Bに相当する環状の試料2とを得て、試料1及び2の収縮状態における寸法をそれぞれ測定(K1,K2)する。
図10は、変形例の一例における、おむつ10の図5と同様の断面図である。本変形例においては、高剛性域41において、弾性又は非弾性を有する繊維不織布製の補助シート70がサイドシート25(又は第1サイドシー25A)の肌対向面側に接着剤によって固定されている。このように、高剛性域41に、補助シート70を配置することによって、積層枚数が低剛性域42よりもさらに多くなり、両域41,42の剛性差が明確となる。補助シート70は、サイドシート25の肌対向面側ではなく、非肌対向面側に固定されていてもよいし、1枚ではなく、複数のシートから形成されていてもよい。
