Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A diaper is configured to prevent a projecting section from being folded between the diaper and the skin. Lower edges of a wing part have a wavy portion having a plurality of outwardly bulging peaks. A side elastic member is on the width direction center side of the wing part in the side flap portion. A flat gather is contracted in the front-back direction by the side elastic member. An overlapping range is provided where a front-back direction range in which contraction force of the side elastic member acts and part of a front-back direction range of the wavy portion overlap, the maximum elongation of the flat gather is 150 to 350%, the width direction interval between the side elastic member and the wavy portion in the overlapping range is 15 to 50 mm at the maximum and 5 to 20 mm at the minimum.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 . A tape-type disposable diaper, comprising: a ventral part extending forward from the center in a front-back direction; a dorsal part extending backward from the center in the front-back direction; a crotch portion in which both side edges extend from the middle in the front-back direction of the ventral part to the middle in the front-back direction of the dorsal part; an absorber incorporated in a range including the crotch portion; wing parts extending outward in the width direction compared with the crotch portion in the ventral part and the dorsal part; and on both sides of the dorsal part, a connecting tape for detachably connecting the ventral part, wherein the lower edges of the wing part of the ventral part each extend so as to be located obliquely outward toward the front, the lower edges of the wing part of the dorsal part each extend so as to be located obliquely outward toward the back side, the lower edges of the wing parts in at least one of the ventral part and dorsal part have wavy portions having a plurality of peaks bulging outward, a side flap portion not including an absorber is provided on both sides in the width direction from the ventral part to the dorsal part, a side elastic member is provided on the center side in the width direction from the wing parts in the side flap portion, a flat gather contracted in the front-back direction by the side elastic member is provided, an overlapping range overlapping a front-back direction range in which contraction force of the side elastic member acts and at least a part of a front-back direction range of the wavy portion is provided, the maximum elongation of the flat gather is 150-350%, and in the overlapping range, the width direction interval between the side elastic member and the wavy portion is 15 to 50 mm at the maximum and 5 to 20 mm at the minimum. 2 . The tape-type disposable diaper according to the claim 1 , wherein the wavy portions each have a maximum total amplitude of 3 to 10 mm and a wavelength of 10 to 20 mm. 3 . The tape-type disposable diaper according to claim 1 , wherein, in the wavy portion, the total amplitude is gradually or continuously increased as approaching the crotch portion side. 4 . The tape-type disposable diaper according to claim 1 , wherein both side edges of the crotch portion extend straight or in a curved shape having no inflection point in a direction inclined obliquely inward by 1 to 2 degrees toward the front. 5 . The tape-type disposable diaper according to claim 2 , wherein, in the wavy portion, the total amplitude is gradually or continuously increased as approaching the crotch portion side. 6 . The tape-type disposable diaper according to claim 2 , wherein both side edges of the crotch portion extend straight or in a curved shape having no inflection point in a direction inclined obliquely inward by 1 to 2 degrees toward the front. 7 . The tape-type disposable diaper according to claim 3 , wherein both side edges of the crotch portion extend straight or in a curved shape having no inflection point in a direction inclined obliquely inward by 1 to 2 degrees toward the front.
