Abstract:
1. A method for making a disposable pants-type diaper basically comprising the steps of preparing a basic structure having a crotch region having a back-and-forth direction and a transverse direction which is orthogonal to said back-and-forth direction, a front waist region extending forward from said crotch region and a rear waist region extending rearward from said crotch region, bonding said front and rear waist regions to each other along lateral edges of said front and rear waist regions to make said basic structure in a pants-shape and providing said basic structure on an inner surface thereof with a sheet piece forming a separator adapted to prevent feces from coming in contact with the wearer' skin, said method for making the disposable pants-type diaper further comprising the steps of: preparing said sheet piece divided by a first transverse center line bisecting said sheet piece in said back-and-forth direction before attached to said inner surface; folding back said sheet piece along a fold line defined by said first transverse center line so as to place said first and second halves upon each other; bonding said first and second halves placed upon each other in this manner to each other at respective middles of ends of said sheet piece extending in parallel to said first transverse center line to form a folded sheet piece having said first and second halves spaced from each other in regions thereof other than said middles; bringing said first transverse centerline of said folded sheet piece close to a second transverse center line bisecting a dimension of said basic structure in said longitudinal direction and spacing said respective end edges of said first and second halves farther than said first transverse center line from said second transverse center line so as to place said first half on the inner surface of front or rear section of said crotch region in said basic structure; bonding the outer surface of the lateral edges of said first half extending in said back-and-forth direction to said inner surface while a region defined between said lateral edges is kept to be spaced from said inner surface; coating the outer surface of the lateral edges of said second half extending in said back-and-forth direction with adhesive; folding back said basic structure along said second transverse center line to bond said inner surface of said basic structure to the outer surface of said lateral edges of said second half by means of said adhesive while the region defined between said lateral edges is spaced from said inner surface; and bonding the respective inner surfaces of said lateral edges of said front and rear waist regions placed upon each other in said basic structure to each other and thereby obtaining said separator from said sheet piece.
