And a waistline holding part for holding the disposable diaper on the wearer's body, and a leg stretchable part 75. The leg stretchable part is arranged inside the product longitudinal direction or the product width direction inside the diaper end constituting the outer periphery of the disposable diaper, and the first region R1 and the leg stretchable part on the product longitudinal direction outside of the leg stretchable part In at least one of the second regions R2 on the outer side in the product width direction, a joining region 65 in which a part of the waistline holding portion is disposed and the skin surface side sheet and the non-skin surface side sheet are joined is a diaper end. [Selection] Fig. 1
The present invention relates to a disposable diaper and a method for manufacturing a disposable diaper.
Conventionally, it has a front waistline region, a rear waistline region, and a crotch region, and has a pair of leg-hole openings, and has an absorbent body that straddles the crotch region and extends to the front waistline region and the back waistline region. There is known a disposable diaper in which a leg stretchable portion that stretches and contracts is disposed along a leg opening. This leg expansion / contraction part is arrange | positioned only in the vicinity of the leg periphery opening part instead of the product longitudinal direction whole region.
Patent Document 1 discloses a method for manufacturing a disposable diaper in which a leg stretchable part is disposed only in the vicinity of a leg opening. The manufacturing method of the disposable diaper of patent document 1 conveys the 1st web which comprises one of the surface sheet and back surface sheet of a disposable diaper in the continuous state, and provides the leg periphery opening part vicinity (providing a leg expansion-contraction part). Apply an adhesive to affix the elastic member to the part). The elastic member which comprises a leg expansion-contraction part is extended in the product longitudinal direction in the continuous state, and the extended elastic member is arrange | positioned on a 1st web. And the 2nd web which comprises the other among a surface sheet and a back surface sheet is affixed on a 1st web and an elastic member.

Therefore, a leg expansion-contraction part can be provided only in the leg periphery opening vicinity.
Japanese Patent Publication No.57-26219
However, the above-mentioned disposable diaper has the following problems.
The above-mentioned disposable diaper attaches an elastic member to a web in the arrangement region of the leg stretchable part. However, in other regions, the elastic member is not attached to the web in order to contract the elastic member after the continuous body is cut. Therefore, in order to make the leg stretchable part contractible in the region where the elastic member is arranged in the manufacturing process and the elastic member is not placed in the product state, that is, in the product longitudinal direction outer side or the product width direction outer side than the leg stretchable part. In addition, the adhesive cannot be applied to the first web and the second web. Therefore, the product longitudinal direction outer side or the product width direction outer side will be in the state which the 1st web and the 2nd web are not bonded together in a product state rather than a leg expansion-contraction part.
Moreover, what is called a tape-type disposable diaper is provided with a fastening tape in the rear waistline region, and a target portion to which the fastening tape is fastened in the front waistline region. The disposable diaper is held along the wearer's waist by the engagement between the fastening tape and the target portion. Therefore, a force pulled in the product width direction acts on the fastening tape, the target portion, and the waistline holding portion including the region extending in the product width direction therefrom.
The waistline holding part is disposed on the outer side in the product longitudinal direction or the outer side in the product width direction than the leg hole opening, and the topsheet and the backsheet may not be bonded together. Thus, if the top sheet and the back sheet of the waistline holding part are not bonded together, a force may be applied to only one of the sheets when pulled. For example, when a relatively heavy load is applied, such as when worn or worn, a force stronger than the strength of one sheet may act on the sheet and the sheet may be torn.
Therefore, the present invention has been made in view of the above-described problems, and in a so-called tape-type disposable diaper, the strength of the waistline holding portion that holds the waistline of the wearer is increased, and tearing at the time of wearing and wearing is prevented. It aims at providing the manufacturing method of the disposable diaper which can be performed, and a disposable diaper.

The crotch region 25 is located between the front waistline region 20 and the back waistline region 30. Further, the disposable diaper 10 is formed with a pair of leg-hole openings 35. The leg opening 35 is provided at a side end in the product width direction of the disposable diaper, and is a portion that is disposed along the leg of the wearer while the disposable diaper is worn by the wearer.
In the present embodiment, a direction from the front waistline region 20 to the rear waistline region 30 is referred to as a product longitudinal direction L, and a direction orthogonal to the product longitudinal direction L is referred to as a product width direction W.
The disposable diaper 10 includes an absorbent body 40 that straddles the crotch region 25 and extends from the crotch region 25 toward at least one of the front waistline region 20 and the rear waistline region 30. The absorber 40 includes an absorbent core 40a and a core wrap 40b.
The absorbent core 40a is the same as a conventional disposable diaper, and can be appropriately configured using a known member or material such as pulverized pulp or a superabsorbent polymer. The absorbent core 40a is wrapped with a sheet-like core wrap 40b. The core wrap 40b is a sheet that covers the absorbent core 40a. At least a part on the skin surface side of the core wrap 40b is constituted by various fiber nonwoven fabrics or tissue sheets having liquid permeability. For example, air-through nonwoven fabric of weight approximately 10 to 30 g / m 2, spun bond nonwoven fabric, SMS can be used (spunbond - spunbond - meltblown) nonwoven or tissue sheet mass about 10 to 30 g / m 2,.
On the surface side (skin contact surface side) of the absorber 40, a skin surface side sheet 50 is disposed. The skin surface side sheet 50 includes a liquid permeable top sheet 51 and a hydrophobic side sheet 52. The top sheet 51 is disposed so as to cover substantially the entire absorber 40. The side sheet 52 is disposed so as to cover the product width direction side portions of the absorber 40 and the top sheet 51. In addition, the skin surface side sheet | seat does not need to be comprised by two layers of the top sheet | seat 51 and the side sheet | seat 52, and any one may be sufficient as it and the other sheet | seat may be provided.
On the back side (non-skin contact surface side) of the absorber 40, a liquid-impermeable non-skin side sheet 60 is disposed. The non-skin-side sheet 60 includes an exterior sheet 61 that constitutes the outer surface of the disposable diaper when worn, and a back sheet 62 disposed between the absorber 40 and the exterior sheet 61. Note that the non-skin-side sheet may not be constituted by the exterior sheet 61 and the back sheet 62, and may be either one or another sheet.
The skin side sheet 50 and the non-skin side sheet 60 are joined together by a hot-melt adhesive 76 (see FIG. 4). The disposable diaper 10 is provided with a joining region 65 (see FIG. 2) in which the skin surface side sheet 50 and the non-skin surface side sheet 60 are joined. The joint region 65 will be described in detail later.
The side sheets 52 are respectively provided on the side edges of the absorbent body 40 in the product width direction W. The side sheet 52 is composed of one or two or more non-woven fabrics stacked. The pair of side sheets 52 is provided with a fastening tape 90, respectively.

An elastic member 71 (see FIG. 3) is provided between the two side sheets 52 in a state of being stretched in the longitudinal direction. The side seat 52 and the elastic member 71 form a standing leg side gather 80.
The developed plan view of the disposable diaper shown in FIG. 1 is a state in which the elastic member 71 of the leg side gather 80 is contracted, and the developed plan view of the disposable diaper in FIG. Indicates the state.
The leg side gather 80 includes a joining portion 81 joined to the top sheet 51 or the back sheet 62 and the exterior sheet 61, and a free end portion 82 on which an elastic member is disposed. Of the free end portion 82, the central portion in the longitudinal direction including the crotch region 25 is contracted in the product longitudinal direction by the elastic member 71 to form a contracted portion 84. When worn, the leg side gather 80 rises with the joint portion 81 as the base end portion, and the contraction portion 84 of the free end portion 82 contacts the wearer's skin with the apex portion. That is, the joint portion becomes the base end portion of the rising side of the leg side stretchable portion.
The contraction portion 84 is a portion substantially contracted in the product longitudinal direction by the elastic member 71, and is a concept excluding a portion where the elastic member 71 is disposed in a state where the contraction force is not exerted. Further, in FIG. 2, in the leg side gather, the joint portion 81 in which the side sheet 52 and the top sheet 51 are joined or the back sheet 62 and the exterior sheet 61 are joined is shown by hatching.
A plurality of joint portions 81 are provided, the first joint portion 81A is disposed outside the contraction portion 84 in the product longitudinal direction, and the second joint portion 81B is disposed outside the contraction portion 84 in the product width direction. ing. Therefore, the leg side gathers 80 are configured such that the center portion in the product longitudinal direction including the crotch region 25 stands on the wearer side.
Of the joint portions 81 of the leg side gathers 80, the second joint portion 81B disposed on the outer side in the product width direction than the contraction portion 84 is disposed in the product width direction on the inner side in the product width direction in the product width direction W. Is done. The second joining portion 81B is joined to the exterior sheet 61 at the back sheet 62 and a part thereof over the entire length in the product longitudinal direction. The back sheet 62 is disposed between the absorber 40 and the exterior sheet 61, and functions as a leak-proof sheet.
Of the joint portions 81 of the leg side gathers 80, the first joint portion 81A disposed on the outer side in the product longitudinal direction from the contraction portion 84 is joined to the top sheet 51.
The joining portion 81 of the leg side gather 80 can employ various configurations. The joining portion may be, for example, a portion that extends from the crotch part to the front waistline region and the back waistline region in the product longitudinal direction, and may be joined to the top sheet. It may be a portion joined to the exterior sheet, and is configured to be a standing base end portion.
Further, the leg side gathers only need to be an upright gather disposed on the inner side in the product width direction with respect to the leg stretchable part, and are not limited to the above configuration, and it is possible to adopt a conventionally known leg side gather configuration. It is.
Further, between the pair of fastening tapes in the product width direction, a waist stretchable portion 85 that can be stretched in the product width direction is provided. The waist stretchable portion 85 is disposed between the pair of fastening tapes in a plan view and contracts between the fastening tapes in the width direction. The waist elastic part 85 is disposed on the surface of the top sheet on the skin contact side, and contracts along the product width direction W between the fastening tapes.
In the present embodiment, the waist elastic part 85 is constituted by an elastic sheet. The members constituting the waist elastic part 85 are not particularly limited, but it is preferable to use a member that is as thin as possible, has low bending rigidity, and has a small width ratio.
In the present embodiment, a stretchable film having a basis weight of 20 to 45 g / m 2 is used as the waist stretchable portion 85.
The waist stretchable portion 85 is stretched by 1.5 to 2.5 times the length in the non-stretched state (natural state), and then adhered to the exterior sheet 61 by a hot melt adhesive or heat treatment. .
In the present embodiment, the waist elastic part 85 is disposed between the back sheet 62 and the exterior sheet 61. However, in the configuration where the core wrap 40b extends outward in the product longitudinal direction from the absorbent core 40a, the waist stretchable portion 85 is disposed between the core wrap 40b and the back sheet 62 or the exterior sheet 61. It may be. The position of the waist extension / contraction part is not particularly limited, but is preferably disposed closer to the non-skin contact surface than the absorber 40. Further, in the region where the absorbent body is not disposed, it may be disposed between the side sheet 52 and the back sheet 62 or the exterior sheet 61.
The waist stretchable portion according to the present embodiment is configured to stretch in the product width direction, but the waist stretchable portion may be configured to stretch in the product width direction and the product longitudinal direction. Good.
(2) Leg stretchable part Next, the leg stretchable part 75 will be described in detail. The leg expansion / contraction part 75 is arranged along the leg opening 35 provided on the outer side in the product width direction with respect to the absorber 40, and is configured to be extendable / contractible in the product longitudinal direction L. The leg expansion / contraction part 75 is arrange | positioned in the product longitudinal direction inner side rather than the diaper edge part which comprises the outer periphery of a disposable diaper in planar view.
Specifically, the diaper ends are a front end portion 10F of the disposable diaper, a rear end portion 1OR of the disposable diaper, and a product width direction end portion 10W of the disposable diaper. In the present embodiment, the configuration in which the leg stretchable part 75 is located on the inner side in the product longitudinal direction from the end of the diaper means that the leg stretchable part 75 is located on the inner side in the product longitudinal direction of the front end part 10F and the rear end part 1OR of the disposable diaper. It is the structure which is located.
Further, for example, in a form in which the end in the expansion / contraction direction of the leg expansion / contraction part 75 extends in the product width direction, the leg expansion / contraction part 75 is configured to be located on the inner side in the product width direction than the diaper end. Specifically, the leg stretchable part 75 is configured to be located on the inner side in the product width direction than the end part 10W in the product width direction of the disposable diaper.
The leg expansion / contraction part 75 configured in this way is not disposed in the entire diaper, but is disposed only in a necessary portion such as the vicinity of the leg opening 35. Further, in the configuration in which the leg stretchable portion 75 contracts in the product longitudinal direction, the outer end portion in the product width direction of the leg stretchable portion 75 coincides with the widthwise end portion of the side sheet or the like that forms the leg opening 35. It may be. Furthermore, in the configuration in which the leg stretchable portion 75 contracts in the product width direction, the outer end portion in the product longitudinal direction of the leg stretchable portion 75 may coincide with the longitudinal end portion of the side sheet or the like that becomes the diaper end portion. Good.
The leg opening 35 and the leg expansion / contraction part 75 have a width direction inner end region 75I whose position in the width direction is located at the innermost side in the crotch region, and the product width from the crotch region 25 toward the product longitudinal direction outer side. It extends toward the outside in the direction. The width direction inner end region 75I of the leg stretchable part 75 may be arranged continuously in the product longitudinal direction or may not be continued in the product longitudinal direction.
The leg elastic | stretch part 75 of this Embodiment is comprised by the elastic sheet. For example, the stretchable sheet may be a stretchable film formed by melting a thermoplastic elastomer resin such as urethane or styrene, a stretchable nonwoven fabric made of stretchable fibers, a stretchable film or a stretchable nonwoven fabric. A composite sheet or the like obtained by laminating a non-stretchable sheet that has been cut or weakened can be used.
Further, instead of the stretchable sheet, the leg stretchable part 75 may be configured by arranging one or a plurality of thread-like / strip-like elastic members made of polyurethane elastic fiber or natural rubber.
The leg stretchable part 75 is disposed between the skin side sheet 50 and the non-skin side sheet 60. Specifically, it is disposed between the side sheet 52 and the exterior sheet 61. Alternatively, in the region where the back sheet 62 disposed between the absorber 40 and the exterior sheet 61 is provided, the leg stretchable part 75 is disposed between the back sheet 62 and the side sheet 52.
The stretchable sheet constituting the leg stretchable part 75 has a width of 5 mm (width in the product width direction W in the natural state of the disposable diaper 10) or more and 45 mm or less, more preferably 12.5 mm or more and 35 mm or less, at least in the inseam region 25 Preferably there is. If it is less than 5 mm, the effect of lowering the load on the skin due to the elastic element does not appear because the force of tightening partially does not concentrate by following the wearer's leg around the surface, and if it exceeds 45 mm As compared with the length of the entire disposable diaper in the product width direction, the region along the leg circumference becomes too wide, and the stretchable sheet is easily wound around the wearer's body or turned up.
The elongation ratio of the leg stretchable part 75 is preferably 1.5 to 2.3 times. In this embodiment, the expansion ratio of the leg stretchable part 75 is set to 1.8 to 2.0 times. The elongation rate means the degree of elongation of the leg stretchable part, and is defined as follows.
Elongation rate = (length of leg stretch part in stretched state) ÷ (length of leg stretch part in natural state), or
In addition, in this specification, this elongation rate shall be measured as follows, for example.
First, when the disposable diaper 10 is sealed in a package or the like, the disposable diaper 10 is taken out of the package, and in that state, the atmosphere is 20 ° C. ± 2 ° C. and relative humidity 60% ± 5% RH 60. Leave for a minute and measure the length of the leg stretch along the stretch direction. This length is defined as “the length of the leg expansion / contraction part in the natural state”.
Second, the length in the stretch direction of the desired region in such a state (ie, the natural state), and the length in the stretch direction of the desired region when stretched from the natural state to a state where wrinkles by the elastic member cannot be visually confirmed. Measure the thickness. This length is defined as “the length of the leg stretchable part in the extended state”.
Using these measurement results, the elongation percentage is measured by calculating with the above formula.
In addition, when the leg expansion-contraction part is curving like this embodiment, it is preferable to measure the length in each state mentioned above along the line of the edge part inside a product width direction of a leg expansion-contraction part.
Further, the distance between the inner ends in the product width direction W of the pair of left and right leg expansion / contraction portions 75 becomes wider from the crotch region 25 toward the front waistline region 20, and as the distance from the crotch region 25 toward the rear waistline region 30 increases. And become wider. When wearing a diaper on the wearer's body, it is possible to make the leg stretchable part follow the body line more by placing the leg stretchable part in a shape that narrows at the crotch and spreads toward the front and rear waistline, A leg expansion-contraction part will be suitably extendedly arranged around a wearer's leg.
Further, the distance (D1 in the figure) at the end of the front waistline region 20 of the pair of left and right leg stretchable parts 75 is the distance (D2 in the figure) at the end of the rear waistline area 30 of the pair of left and right leg stretchable parts 75. Narrower than. The interval is defined as the inner end in the product width direction W of the pair of left and right leg stretchable parts 75 after the disposable diaper 10 is expanded and held in the product longitudinal direction L and the product width direction W in a state where there is no wrinkle from the natural state. The distance between them is measured.
The elongation of the skin surface of the wearer's body is particularly large in the buttocks, and is prominent at positions closer to the outside in the width direction. Further, the leg stretchable part 75 is in close contact with the wearer's body. Therefore, by setting D2> D1, even when the movement of the wearer is applied to the disposable diaper 10, the leg stretchable part 75 on the buttock side can be stretched while being in close contact, and even if the amount of change in stretch is large, the leg The elastic part 75 does not stretch. Therefore, the displacement of the disposable diaper 10 by the leg expansion / contraction part 75 can be suppressed.
Further, the leg opening 35 and the leg stretchable portion 75 are in a curved shape extending toward the product width direction outer side from the crotch region 25 toward the product longitudinal direction outer side. The distance between the inner end portion in the product width direction and the inner end portion in the product width direction in the crotch region of the leg stretchable portion is 3 mm or more and 35 mm or less.
Specifically, as shown in FIG. 2, the inner end portion 75RW in the product width direction at the rear end portion of the leg stretchable portion, and the inner end portion in the product width direction at the innermost portion in the width direction of the leg stretchable portion. The distance D3 between 75CW and the distance D4 between the inner end portion 75FW in the product width direction at the front end portion of the leg stretchable portion and the inner end portion 75CW in the product width direction at the innermost portion in the width direction of the leg stretchable portion is 3 mm or more and 35 mm or less.
The leg expansion / contraction part 75 only needs to be configured so that the leg opening 35 can be extended and contracted in the longitudinal direction of the product, and may be disposed along the leg opening 35, or a part of the leg extension 75 It may be arranged in an inclined state with respect to the opening 35, or a part thereof may be separated from the leg opening 35. Specifically, the distance in the product width direction between the leg opening 35 and the leg stretchable part 75 is desirably 7 mm or less. When the distance in the product width direction between the leg opening 35 and the leg expansion / contraction part 75 is 7 mm or less, the expansion / contraction force of the leg expansion / contraction part 75 substantially propagates to the leg opening 35 and the leg opening This is because the end of the portion 35 can be in close contact with the wearer.
The leg stretchable portion 75 is a portion that is substantially contracted in the product longitudinal direction by the stretchable sheet or the thread-like elastic member, and is a concept that excludes a portion where the stretchable sheet is disposed in a state where the contraction force is not exerted. .
(3) Configuration of Bonding Region Next, the bonding region 65 will be described. The joining region 65 is a region where the skin surface side sheet 50 and the non-skin surface side sheet 60 are joined by a hot melt adhesive or the like. In FIG. 2, the joining region 65 is shown by hatching. A joining region 65 shown in FIG. 2 is a region where the skin surface side sheet 50 and the non-skin surface side sheet 60 are directly attached.
The joining region 65 is a first region (see FIG. 1) R1 outside the product longitudinal direction of the product in the product longitudinal direction of the leg stretchable part, and a product widthwise outside of the product longitudinal direction end of the leg stretchable part. It is arranged at least in the second region (see FIG. 1) R2.
In the first region R1 and the second region R2, a joining region 65 in which the skin side sheet 50 and the non-skin side sheet 60 are joined is provided continuously along the diaper end. Specifically, in the first region R1, a joining region 65 is provided continuously in the product width direction along the front end portion 10F of the disposable diaper and the rear end portion 10R of the disposable diaper. In the second region R2, a joining region 65 is provided continuously in the product longitudinal direction along the product width direction end portion 10W of the disposable diaper.
The first region R1 is disposed in a region extending from the fastening tape 90 along the product width direction, and is disposed in a region extending from the target portion 95 along the product width direction. The part is arranged.
Thus, since the joining area | region 65 is continuously provided along the diaper edge part in 1st area | region R1 and 2nd area | region R2, it raises intensity | strength compared with the structure where sheets are not joined. Can do. In the first region R1 and the second region R2, a part of the waistline holding portion is arranged, and a region where force is applied when worn or the like. By increasing the strength of this region, it is possible to prevent the sheet from being torn when a relatively heavy load is applied, such as when worn or worn.
The skin surface side sheet 50 and the non-skin surface side sheet 60 are joined to each other through another member (fastening tape or the like) in the entire disposable diaper in a plan view. Therefore, substantially the joining area | region is provided continuously along the diaper edge part in the whole region of a disposable diaper.
Specifically, the part where the fastening tape is arranged is affixed with the skin side sheet and the non-skin side sheet via the fastening tape, and the part where the absorber is arranged is the absorber. The skin side sheet and the non-skin side sheet are pasted through the leg, and the part where the leg stretch part 75 is arranged is the skin side sheet and the non-skin side through the leg stretch part 75 A sheet is attached.
Since the joining area | region is arrange | positioned in the whole region of a disposable diaper, the rigidity of the whole disposable diaper and the intensity | strength of a disposable diaper can be improved. In addition, the user feels that the surface sheet and the back sheet are separated from each other at the end of the diaper, or is concerned about leakage from the part where the surface sheet and the back sheet are separated. Sometimes. However, since the joining area is provided in the whole area of the diaper, it can be worn by the wearer with peace of mind.
In addition, not only the area | region where the skin surface side sheet | seat and the non-skin surface side sheet | seat contact | abutted but the skin surface side sheet | seat and the non-skin surface side sheet | seat are other members (sheet | seat etc.). ) Is also included. Further, the bonding region may be formed by bonding two layers of a side sheet or top sheet as the skin surface side sheet and a back sheet or exterior sheet of the non-skin surface side sheet, or a plurality of layers of the skin surface side sheet. And the multiple layers of the non-skin surface side sheet may be joined. Furthermore, the joining region may be a region where the sheets are joined by a hot melt adhesive, or a region joined by another joining method such as heat welding.
(4) Manufacturing method of disposable diaper Next, an example of the manufacturing method of the disposable diaper which concerns on this embodiment is demonstrated. Note that an existing method can be used as a method not described in this embodiment. Moreover, the manufacturing method demonstrated below is an example and can also be manufactured with another manufacturing method. The manufacturing method of a disposable diaper includes at least a component forming process, a component placing process, a leg-hole forming process, and a cutting process.
In the component forming process, the components constituting the disposable diaper are formed. Specifically, for example, the absorbent body 40 is molded by laminating absorbent materials.
In the component mounting step, the elastic sheet constituting the leg stretchable part 75, the skin side sheet and the non-skin side sheet are formed on the first web constituting one of the skin side sheet and the non-skin side sheet. The component which comprises the 2nd web etc. which comprise the other is mounted.
More specifically, the step of continuously conveying the first web, the step of extending the elastic member constituting the leg stretchable part in the continuous state in the product longitudinal direction, and the elastic member in the extended state in the product width direction Cutting the elastic member in a cut state, attaching the cut elastic member to the first web via an adhesive, bonding the second web to the first web and the elastic member via an adhesive, Is provided.
For example, the process of extending and cutting the elastic member constituting the leg stretchable part in the product longitudinal direction in a continuous state is intermittent while extending the stretchable sheet constituting the leg stretchable part 75 and further displacing it in the width direction. It can be realized by transferring onto a drum and cutting the stretchable sheet into individual product lengths on an intermittent drum. And the space | interval of elastic sheets is provided with rotation of an intermittent drum, and an elastic sheet is transcribe | transferred on the continuous web. At this time, the elastic sheet and the web can be bonded by applying an adhesive to the elastic sheet or web in advance. Next, another web is bonded to the web to which the elastic sheet is bonded. At this time, the first web, the stretchable sheet, and the second web can be integrated by applying an adhesive to at least one of the first web and the second web.
In addition, when apply | coating an adhesive agent to both a 1st web and a 2nd web, it is desirable to make the adhesion pattern of a 1st web different from the adhesion pattern of a 2nd web. Generally, when applying an adhesive, the adhesive is applied at intervals such as a spiral shape or a dot shape. At this time, for example, if the coating patterns of the first web and the second web are the same, when the non-bonded portions to which the adhesive is not applied match, the non-bonded portions are arranged at the same interval. That is, the non-joined portion is matched at this point. Therefore, many non-joining parts exist.
However, by making the coating patterns of the first web and the second web different, even when the non-joined portions are partially matched, the non-joined portions are arranged at different intervals, so It can prevent that a non-joining part corresponds in a part. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent the leg stretchable part from coming off in the non-joined part and the separation between the sheets.
In the leg formation step, the first web constituting the skin surface side sheet 50 and the second web exterior sheet constituting the non-skin surface side sheet 60 are cut along the widthwise outer end of the leg stretchable portion 75. Thereby, the leg opening part 35 arrange | positioned around a wearer's leg is formed.
In the cutting step, the continuous body on which the top sheet 51, the exterior sheet 61, the absorber 40, and the like are arranged is cut into the size of one product along the product width direction W. Thereby, the disposable diaper 10 is manufactured.
According to such a manufacturing method, since there is no need to provide a non-adhesive part for expanding and contracting the leg stretchable part after cutting the web as in the prior art, the leg stretchable part is disposed only in the vicinity of the leg opening 35. However, the skin side sheet 50 and the non-skin side sheet 60 can be joined in the first region R1 and the second region R2 around the leg stretchable part 75. The strength of the sheet can be increased as compared with a conventional structure in which the sheets are not joined to each other. In the first region and the second region, a part of the waistline holding portion is disposed, and a region where force is applied when worn. By increasing the strength of this region, it is possible to prevent the skin surface side sheet 50 and the non-skin surface side sheet 60 from being torn when worn.
(5) Action and effect
The disposable diaper according to the present embodiment has the first region R1 disposed around the end of the leg stretchable portion 75 in the stretch direction, with the leg stretchable portion 75 disposed only in the vicinity of the leg opening 35. The second region R2 can be joined. Therefore, the strength can be increased compared to a configuration in which the sheets are not joined to each other. In the first region and the second region, a part of the waistline holding portion is disposed, and a region where force is applied when worn. By increasing the strength of this region, it is possible to prevent tearing of the skin surface side sheet and the non-skin surface side sheet when worn.
Moreover, in the whole area of a disposable diaper, the skin surface side sheet | seat and the non-skin surface side sheet | seat are joined substantially. Therefore, the rigidity of the entire disposable diaper can be increased. Moreover, a user may feel that it is inferior if the skin side sheet | seat and the non-skin side sheet | seat are spaced apart in a part of edge part of a diaper. However, since the joining area is provided in the whole area of the diaper, it can be worn by the wearer with peace of mind.
The skin surface side sheet 50 arranged in the first region R1 and the second region R2 can be composed only of a nonwoven fabric having a basis weight of 15 g / m 2 or less. The disposable diaper 10 according to the present embodiment can increase the strength by joining the skin surface side sheet 50 and the non-skin surface side sheet 60. Therefore, the skin surface side sheet 50 can be configured only by the nonwoven fabric without providing a film such as a leak-proof film having relatively high rigidity. By configuring the skin surface side sheet 50 only with a non-woven fabric and further reducing the basis weight thereof, the touch can be softened and the air permeability of the part can be enhanced. In addition, you may comprise the non-skin surface side sheet | seat 60 only with a nonwoven fabric.
