Abstract

In a trunks-type disposable diaper in which a front around-leg elastic member and a back around-leg elastic member are attached on both sides in a width direction of an intermediate region in a region between an edge of one leg opening and an edge of the other leg opening in a pattern in which at least one front around-leg elastic member and at least one back around-leg elastic member cross each other, the above-described problem is solved by providing an inner member bonded portion that is a region bonding an outer member and an inner member only further to the center side in the width direction than a crossing position between the front around-leg elastic member and the back around-leg elastic member on both sides in the width direction in the intermediate region.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A trunks-type disposable diaper comprising:
an outer member having a waist opening and a pair of leg openings and extending from a front waist opening edge to a back waist opening edge;
an inner member provided at least in a crotch portion of the outer member and including an absorber; and
side seal portions that bond both sides on a front side and both sides on a back side of the outer member,
in which a crotch portion of the outer member has a pair of inner thigh contact portions which respectively extend to one side and the other side in a width direction from a circumscribed rectangle of the absorber, portions along an edge of the leg openings including the inner thigh contact portions form a pair of cylindrical leg portions surrounding a root side of thighs,
the front side of the outer member has one or a plurality of elongated front around-leg elastic members not crossing each other, the elastic member is attached in a pattern of extending from one of the side seal portions toward the center in the width direction along an edge of the leg opening, crossing the center in the width direction, extending toward the other leg opening, and extending to the other side seal portion along an edge of the other leg opening,
the back side of the outer member has one or a plurality of elongated back around-leg elastic members not crossing each other, the elastic member is attached in a pattern of extending from one of the side seal portions toward the center in the width direction along an edge of the leg opening, crossing the center in the width direction, extending toward the other leg opening, and extending to the other side seal portion along an edge of the other leg opening, and
the front around-leg elastic member and the back around-leg elastic member are attached in a pattern in which at least one front around-leg elastic member and at least one back around-leg elastic member cross each other on both sides in the width direction of an intermediate region that is a region between the edge of one leg opening and the edge of the other leg opening,
wherein an outermost crossing position positioned closest to the edge side of the leg opening among the crossing positions of the front around-leg elastic member and the back around-leg elastic member on both sides in the width direction is located further to the center side in the width direction than both side edges of the inner member, and
wherein an inner member bonded portion that is a region bonding the outer member and the inner member is provided only further to a center side in the width direction than at least one crossing position of the front around-leg elastic member and the back around-leg elastic member on both sides in the width direction in the intermediate region.

2. The trunks-type disposable diaper according to claim 1 ,
wherein an the intermediate portion in the front-back direction of the absorber is a narrower portion having a width narrower than both front and back sides thereof, and
the narrowest portion of the narrower portion is positioned further to the center side in the width direction than both side edges of the inner member bonded portion.

3. The trunks-type disposable diaper according to claim 1 ,
wherein a non-stretchable region in which the front around-leg elastic member and the back around-leg elastic member are cut finely is provided further to the center side in the width direction than the crossing position of the front around-leg elastic member and the back around-leg elastic member on both sides in the width direction.

4. The trunks-type disposable diaper according to claim 1 ,
wherein a plurality of the front around-leg elastic members and a plurality of the back around-leg elastic members are provided,
the front around-leg elastic members and the back around-leg elastic members are attached on both sides in the width direction of the intermediate region in a pattern in which a group of a plurality of the front around-leg elastic members and a group of a plurality of the back around-leg elastic members cross each other, and
when the front around-leg elastic members and the back around-leg elastic members are sequentially numbered in this order from the member closest to the edge of the leg opening to the furthest member,
the front around-leg elastic members and the back around-leg elastic members in the same order are continuous from the side seal portion to the mutual crossing position, and respective portions on the center side in the width direction from the mutual crossing positions are cut.

5. The trunks-type disposable diaper according to claim 1 ,
wherein a plurality of the front around-leg elastic members and a plurality of the back around-leg elastic members are provided,
the front around-leg elastic members and the back around-leg elastic members are attached on both sides in the width direction of the intermediate region in a pattern in which a group of a plurality of the front around-leg elastic members and a group of a plurality of the back around-leg elastic members cross each other, and
when the front around-leg elastic members and the back around-leg elastic members are sequentially numbered in this order from the member furthest to the edge of the leg opening to the closest member,
among the front around-leg elastic members and the back around-leg elastic members in the same order, the front around-leg elastic members are continuous from the side seal portion to the crossing position with the back around-leg elastic member in the next order, and the back around-leg elastic members are continuous from the side seal portion to the crossing position with the front around-leg elastic member in the next order, and respective portions on the center side in the width direction from the mutual crossing positions are cut.

6. The trunks-type disposable diaper according to claim 2 ,
wherein a non-stretchable region in which the front around-leg elastic member and the back around-leg elastic member are cut finely is provided further to the center side in the width direction than the crossing position of the front around-leg elastic member and the back around-leg elastic member on both sides in the width direction.

7. The trunks-type disposable diaper according to claim 2 ,
wherein a plurality of the front around-leg elastic members and a plurality of the back around-leg elastic members are provided,
the front around-leg elastic members and the back around-leg elastic members are attached on both sides in the width direction of the intermediate region in a pattern in which a group of a plurality of the front around-leg elastic members and a group of a plurality of the back around-leg elastic members cross each other, and
when the front around-leg elastic members and the back around-leg elastic members are sequentially numbered in this order from the member closest to the edge of the leg opening to the furthest member,
the front around-leg elastic members and the back around-leg elastic members in the same order are continuous from the side seal portion to the mutual crossing position, and respective portions on the center side in the width direction from the mutual crossing positions are cut.

8. The trunks-type disposable diaper according to claim 3 ,
wherein a plurality of the front around-leg elastic members and a plurality of the back around-leg elastic members are provided,
the front around-leg elastic members and the back around-leg elastic members are attached on both sides in the width direction of the intermediate region in a pattern in which a group of a plurality of the front around-leg elastic members and a group of a plurality of the back around-leg elastic members cross each other, and
when the front a
