Patent ID: 7214849

Claim:
A disposable wearing article comprising: a front waist covering region; a rear waist covering region and a crotch covering region cooperating together to form the wearing article with a waist-hole and a pair of leg-holes wherein at least one of said front and rear waist covering regions is elastically stretchable in a waist-surrounding direction and provided with an indication element adapted to be visually recognized from an outside of said at least one waist covering region; said indicating element including a sheet strip; said at least one covering region comprising a first composite sheet and a second composite sheet, said first composite sheet lying on an outermost side of said at least one covering region and having a first outer surface defining an outer surface of said one covering composite sheet and a first inner surface lying on a side opposite to said first outer surface while said second composite sheet lying on a side of said first inner surface of said first composite sheet and having a second outer surface facing said second inner surface and having a second outer surface and a second inner surface lying on a side opposite to said second outer surface with said sheet strip being interposed between said first inner surface and said second outer surface; and said first and second composite sheets being respectively of a three-layered structure joined together at joining spots formed intermittently in said waist-surrounding direction and respectively comprising first and second intermediate layers formed from a plurality of elastically stretchable elastomer threads accumulated one upon another, first and second outer layers formed from a plurality of inelastically stretchable non-elastomeric threads accumulated one upon another and stretchably extending in said waist-surrounding direction so as to describe curves between each pair of adjacent joining spots on outer sides of said first and second intermediate layers, respectively, and first and second inner layers formed from a plurality of inelastically stretchable non-elastomeric threads accumulated one upon another and stretchably extending in said waist-surrounding direction so as to describe curves between each pair of adjacent joining spots on inner sides of said first and second intermediate layers, respectively, wherein said first and second outer layers define said first and second surfaces, respectively.
