Patent ID: 8734418

Claim:
A pant-type wearing article comprising: a first waist region defined by one of front and rear waist regions; a second waist region defined by the other of said front and rear waist regions; a crotch region extending between said first and second waist regions; second fastener members provided along transversely opposite lateral zones of said second waist region and having inner surfaces; first fastener members provided along transversely opposite lateral zones of said first waist region and having outer surfaces so that the inner surfaces of said second fasteners are detachably engaged with the outer surfaces of said first fastener members to produce a pant-type wearing article having a waist-opening and a pair of leg-openings formed upon engagement; at least one of said first waist region and said second waist region includes a plurality of elastic members bonded thereto under tension so as to extend across said one waist region and, in said transversely opposite lateral zones of said one of waist regions, said elastic members are respectively cut at several points in a longitudinal direction thereof to form first inelastic regions being neither elastically stretchable nor elastically contractible in said longitudinal direction; either said first fastener members or said second fastener members both provided in said one of waist regions are provided in said first inelastic regions; in said transversely opposite lateral zones of said one of waist regions, inside the first inelastic regions and inside one of the fastener members as viewed in a waistline direction, said elastic members are respectively cut at several points in a longitudinal direction thereof to form second inelastic regions being neither elastically stretchable nor elastically contractible in said longitudinal direction; between each of the first inelastic regions and the second inelastic regions, a region in which none of the elastic members is cut is formed inside the one of the fastener members; transversely opposite lateral zones of said one of waist regions are formed inside said second inelastic regions as viewed in a waistline direction with a plurality of film-like joints comprising sheet members put flat together to define said transversely opposite lateral zones and integrated or comprising said sheet members and said elastic members integrated and said joints define joint areas extending in a vertical direction of said wearing article from said waist-opening to said leg-openings.
