Description

本発明は、弾性フィルムをシート層で挟んでなる弾性フィルム伸縮構造を備えた使い捨て着用物品に関するものである。   The present invention relates to a disposable wearing article having an elastic film stretchable structure in which an elastic film is sandwiched between sheet layers.

使い捨ておむつや生理用ナプキン等の使い捨て着用物品においては、身体表面へのフィット性を向上するために、脚周りや胴周り等の適所に伸縮性を付与することが一般的である。伸縮性を付与するための手法としては、従来、糸ゴム等の細長状の弾性部材を長手方向に伸長した状態で多数並べて固定する手法が広く採用されているが、面的なフィット性に優れるものとして、弾性フィルムを伸縮性の付与方向に伸長した状態で取り付ける手法も提案されている。(例えば特許文献1〜3参照)。   In disposable wearing articles such as disposable diapers and sanitary napkins, it is common to impart stretchability to appropriate places such as around the legs and around the trunk in order to improve fit to the body surface. As a technique for imparting stretchability, conventionally, a technique has been widely adopted in which a large number of elongated elastic members such as rubber thread are stretched in the longitudinal direction and fixed, but the surface fit is excellent. As a thing, the method of attaching an elastic film in the state extended | stretched in the elasticity provision direction is also proposed. (For example, see Patent Documents 1 to 3).

この弾性フィルムをシート層で挟んだ伸縮構造(以下、弾性フィルム伸縮構造ともいう)は、伸縮領域が不織布等からなる第1シート層と、不織布等からなる第2シート層との間に弾性フィルムが積層されるとともに、弾性フィルムが伸縮方向に伸長された状態で、第1シート層及び第2シート層が、伸縮方向及びこれと直交する方向にそれぞれ間隔を空けて配列された多数の接合部で、弾性フィルムに形成された貫通孔を通じて又は弾性フィルムを介して接合されてなるものである。このような弾性フィルム伸縮構造を有する伸縮領域は、自然長状態では、接合部間において弾性フィルムが収縮するのに伴い、接合部の間隔が狭くなり、第1シート層及び第2シート層における接合部間に伸縮方向と交差する方向に延びる収縮皺が形成される。反対に伸長時には、接合部間において弾性フィルムが伸長するのに伴い、接合部の間隔及び第1シート層及び第2シート層における収縮皺が広がり、第1シート層及び第2シート層の完全展開状態まで弾性伸長が可能となる。この弾性フィルム伸縮構造は、面的なフィット性に優れるのはもちろん、弾性フィルムの貫通孔が通気性向上にも寄与するという利点がある。   An elastic structure in which the elastic film is sandwiched between sheet layers (hereinafter, also referred to as an elastic film elastic structure) has an elastic film between a first sheet layer whose elastic region is made of a nonwoven fabric or the like and a second sheet layer made of a nonwoven fabric or the like. And a plurality of joints in which the first sheet layer and the second sheet layer are arranged at intervals in the stretching direction and the direction orthogonal thereto, in a state where the elastic film is stretched in the stretching direction. Thus, it is joined through a through-hole formed in the elastic film or through the elastic film. In the natural length state, the stretchable region having such an elastic film stretchable structure is such that, as the elastic film contracts between the joints, the gap between the joints becomes narrow, and the joints in the first sheet layer and the second sheet layer A contraction ridge extending in a direction crossing the expansion / contraction direction is formed between the parts. On the other hand, when the elastic film is stretched between the joints when stretched, the spacing between the joints and the shrinkage wrinkles in the first sheet layer and the second sheet layer are widened, and the first sheet layer and the second sheet layer are completely developed. Elastic extension to the state becomes possible. This elastic film stretchable structure has an advantage that the through hole of the elastic film contributes to the improvement of the air permeability as well as the surface fit.

しかしながら、この弾性フィルム伸縮構造は、伸縮方向が製造時のMD方向(機械方向)のみで、しかも直線的であるため、例えばおむつにおける脚の付け根に沿う方向等、斜め方向に収縮力を発揮できないものであった。   However, since this elastic film stretchable structure has only the MD direction (machine direction) at the time of manufacture and is linear, it cannot exert a contracting force in an oblique direction such as a direction along the base of a leg in a diaper. It was a thing.

これに対し、本出願人は、弾性フィルムを斜め向きに伸長させて第1シート層及び第2シート層間に取り付けることにより、斜め向きの収縮力を発揮する伸縮構造を提案している(特許文献4参照)。   On the other hand, the present applicant has proposed a stretchable structure that exerts an oblique shrinkage force by extending an elastic film obliquely and attaching it between the first sheet layer and the second sheet layer (Patent Document). 4).

しかし、従来のものは、特許文献4記載のものを含め、弾性フィルムを一方向に伸長させて製造するため、弾性フィルムを一層のみ含む単フィルム部分では伸縮方向がほぼ平行(伸縮方向の位置が同じであれば、伸縮方向と直交する直交方向のどの位置でも伸縮方向が同じ)となっていた。このため、例えば、パンツタイプやテープタイプの使い捨て着用物品に弾性フィルム伸縮構造を適用する場合、胴周り部における幅方向の伸縮性を弾性フィルムにより付加し、脚の付け根に沿う部分には細長状の弾性部材を付加するといった解決策も提案されている(特許文献5参照)が、製造工程が複雑となり、製品構造も複雑となるという問題点がある。   However, since the conventional film is manufactured by extending an elastic film in one direction, including the one described in Patent Document 4, the stretch direction is almost parallel in the single film portion including only one elastic film (the position in the stretch direction is If they are the same, the expansion / contraction direction is the same at any position in the orthogonal direction orthogonal to the expansion / contraction direction). For this reason, for example, when an elastic film stretchable structure is applied to a pants-type or tape-type disposable wearing article, the stretchability in the width direction at the waist portion is added by an elastic film, and the portion along the base of the leg is elongated. Although a solution such as adding an elastic member has been proposed (see Patent Document 5), there is a problem that the manufacturing process becomes complicated and the product structure becomes complicated.

そこで、本発明の主たる課題は、非平行な複数の伸縮方向を有する簡素な弾性フィルム伸縮構造を提供することにある。   Therefore, a main problem of the present invention is to provide a simple elastic film stretchable structure having a plurality of non-parallel stretch directions.

<第1の態様>
第1シート層及び第2シート層の間に弾性フィルムが積層され、前記第1シート層及び第2シート層が、間隔を空けて配列された多数の接合部で、弾性フィルムを貫通する孔を通じて又は前記弾性フィルムを介して接合された、弾性フィルム伸縮構造を備えており、

(Function and effect)
With such a method, prior to joining the first sheet layer and the second sheet layer, a slit or hole having a length in the orthogonal direction of 50 mm or more is formed in the middle of the elastic film in the orthogonal direction. A simple elastic film stretchable structure having a plurality of non-parallel stretch directions can be manufactured. That is, when the elastic film in which the slits or holes are formed is extended in the first direction, the slits or holes are expanded in the first direction and reduced in the orthogonal direction. Accordingly, the portion of the continuous portion adjacent to the end portion in the orthogonal direction of the slit or hole is pulled to the center side in the orthogonal direction of the slit or hole, and the continuous portion is not affected by the pull in the first direction. And a portion in which the extension direction is changed in the second direction toward the end of the slit or the hole in the orthogonal direction due to the influence of the tension. Therefore, after joining the first sheet layer and the second sheet layer in this state, when the extension force is released, the portion extended in the first direction at the time of joining becomes the first region that expands and contracts in the first direction. The portion extending in the two directions becomes a second region that expands and contracts in the second direction.

In the method for producing a disposable wearing article according to any one of the first to third aspects,
In forming the elastic film stretchable structure,
In a state where the elastic film is sandwiched between the first sheet layer and the second sheet layer while extending in the first direction, the elastic film penetrates through the elastic film at a plurality of spaced positions, or While joining the first sheet layer and the second sheet layer through an elastic film,
Prior to joining the first sheet layer and the second sheet layer, the length in the orthogonal direction is set in the middle of the orthogonal direction in the elastic film with a gap in both the first direction and the orthogonal direction. A plurality of slits or holes of 50 mm or more are arranged, leaving a first continuous portion continuous in the first direction on both sides in the orthogonal direction with respect to the arrangement region of the slits or holes, and the slits or holes Leaving a second continuous portion that is continuous in the first direction in the interval portion in the orthogonal direction of the slit or hole in the arrangement region;
The elastic film having the slit or hole and the first continuous portion and the second continuous portion is bonded in the first sheet layer and the second sheet layer in a state of being stretched in the first direction.
The manufacturing method of the disposable wearing article characterized by the above-mentioned.

(作用効果)
このような方法により、第1シート層及び第2シート層を接合するのに先立ち、弾性フィルムにおける直交方向の中間に、第1方向及び直交方向の両方向に間隔を空けて、直交方向の長さが50mm以上のスリット又は孔を形成しておくと、次のように非平行な複数の伸縮方向を有する簡素な弾性フィルム伸縮構造を製造することができる。すなわち、スリット又は孔を形成した弾性フィルムを第1方向に伸長すると、スリット又は孔が第1方向に拡大しつつ直交方向に縮小する。これに伴い、第1連続部分のうちスリット又は孔の直交方向の端部に隣接する部分は、スリット又は孔の直交方向の中央側に引っ張られ、第1連続部分には、引っ張りの影響を受けず第1方向に伸長した部分と、引っ張りの影響により伸長方向がスリット又は孔の直交方向の端部に向かう斜め方向(第2方向)に変化した部分とが形成される。
一方、第2連続部分では、連続部分を挟んで一方側に位置するスリット又は孔の端部に隣接する部分と、他方側に位置するスリット又は孔の端部に隣接する部分とが、互いに離間するように直交方向に反対向きに引っ張られる。この結果、第2連続部分のうち、第2連続部分を挟んで一方側に位置するスリット又は孔の端部と他方側に位置するスリット又は孔の端部との間の部分は、第2連続部分を挟んで一方側に位置するスリット又は孔の端部と他方側に位置するスリット又は孔の端部とを結ぶ斜め方向(第2方向)に伸長した状態となる。
よって、この状態で、第1シート層及び第2シート層を接合した後、伸長力を開放すると、接合時に第1方向に伸長した部分は第1方向に伸縮する第1領域となり、接合時に第2方向に伸長した部分は第2方向に伸縮する第2領域となる。特に、本態様では、第2連続部分における斜め方向の伸長部分には、二つのスリット又は孔の変形による反対向きの引張力が作用するため、一つのスリット又は孔の変形による引っ張り力が作用する第1連続部分における斜め方向の伸長部分よりも、伸長方向の傾斜が深くなる。
(Function and effect)
By such a method, prior to joining the first sheet layer and the second sheet layer, the length in the orthogonal direction is spaced between the first direction and the orthogonal direction in the middle of the orthogonal direction in the elastic film. If a slit or hole having a diameter of 50 mm or more is formed, a simple elastic film stretchable structure having a plurality of non-parallel stretch directions can be produced as follows. That is, when the elastic film in which the slits or holes are formed is extended in the first direction, the slits or holes are expanded in the first direction and reduced in the orthogonal direction. Accordingly, the portion of the first continuous portion adjacent to the end portion in the orthogonal direction of the slit or hole is pulled toward the center side in the orthogonal direction of the slit or hole, and the first continuous portion is affected by the tensile force. First, a portion extending in the first direction and a portion in which the extending direction changes in an oblique direction (second direction) toward the end of the slit or the hole in the orthogonal direction due to the influence of the tension are formed.
On the other hand, in the second continuous portion, the portion adjacent to the end of the slit or hole located on one side across the continuous portion and the portion adjacent to the end of the slit or hole located on the other side are separated from each other. It is pulled in the opposite direction in the orthogonal direction. As a result, of the second continuous portion, the portion between the end of the slit or hole located on one side and the end of the slit or hole located on the other side across the second continuous portion is the second continuous It is in a state of extending in an oblique direction (second direction) connecting the end of the slit or hole located on one side and the end of the slit or hole located on the other side across the portion.
Therefore, after joining the first sheet layer and the second sheet layer in this state, when the extension force is released, the portion extended in the first direction at the time of joining becomes the first region that expands and contracts in the first direction. The portion extending in the two directions becomes a second region that expands and contracts in the second direction. In particular, in this aspect, since the tensile force in the opposite direction due to the deformation of the two slits or holes acts on the diagonally extended portion of the second continuous portion, the tensile force due to the deformation of one slit or hole acts. The inclination in the extension direction becomes deeper than the extension part in the oblique direction in the first continuous part.

In manufacturing, after the back surface of the interior body 10 is joined to the inner surface (upper surface) of the exterior body 20 by a joining means such as a hot melt adhesive, the interior body 10 and the exterior body 20 are the front body F and the back body B. Is folded at the center of the front-rear direction LD (longitudinal direction) that is the boundary of the two sides, and both side portions thereof are joined to each other by heat welding or hot melt adhesive to form the side seal portion 21, thereby forming the waist opening and the left and right sides. The pants-type disposable diaper is formed with a pair of leg openings.

(内装体の構造例)
内装体10は、図4〜図6に示すように、トップシート11と、ポリエチレン等からなる液不透過性シート12との間に、吸収体13を介在させた構造を有しており、トップシート11を透過した排泄液を吸収保持するものである。内装体10の平面形状は特に限定されないが、図1に示されるようにほぼ長方形とすることが一般的である。
(Structural example of interior body)
As shown in FIGS. 4 to 6, the inner body 10 has a structure in which an absorber 13 is interposed between a top sheet 11 and a liquid-impermeable sheet 12 made of polyethylene or the like. The excretory fluid that has passed through the sheet 11 is absorbed and retained. Although the planar shape of the interior body 10 is not particularly limited, it is generally a rectangular shape as shown in FIG.

吸収体13の表側(肌側)を覆うトップシート11としては、有孔又は無孔の不織布や多孔性プラスチックシートなどが好適に用いられる。不織布を構成する素材繊維は、ポリエチレン又はポリプロピレン等のオレフィン系、ポリエステル系、ポリアミド系等の合成繊維の他、レーヨンやキュプラ等の再生繊維、綿等の天然繊維とすることができ、スパンレース法、スパンボンド法、サーマルボンド法、メルトブローン法、ニードルパンチ法等の適宜の加工法によって得られた不織布を用いることができる。これらの加工法の内、スパンレース法は柔軟性、ドレープ性に富む点で優れ、サーマルボンド法は嵩高でソフトである点で優れている。トップシート11に多数の透孔を形成した場合には、尿などが速やかに吸収されるようになり、ドライタッチ性に優れたものとなる。トップシート11は、吸収体13の側縁部を巻き込んで吸収体13の裏側まで延在している。   As the top sheet 11 covering the front side (skin side) of the absorbent body 13, a porous or non-porous nonwoven fabric or a porous plastic sheet is preferably used. The material fibers that make up the nonwoven fabric can be synthetic fibers such as polyethylene or polypropylene, synthetic fibers such as polyester or polyamide, recycled fibers such as rayon or cupra, natural fibers such as cotton, and the spunlace method. A nonwoven fabric obtained by an appropriate processing method such as a spun bond method, a thermal bond method, a melt blown method, or a needle punch method can be used. Among these processing methods, the spunlace method is excellent in terms of flexibility and drapeability, and the thermal bond method is excellent in terms of being bulky and soft. When a large number of through holes are formed in the top sheet 11, urine and the like are quickly absorbed, and the dry touch properties are excellent. The top sheet 11 entrains the side edge of the absorber 13 and extends to the back side of the absorber 13.

吸収体13の裏側(非肌当接側)を覆う液不透過性シート12は、ポリエチレン又はポリプロピレンなどの液不透過性プラスチックシートが用いられるが、近年はムレ防止の点から透湿性を有するものが好適に用いられる。この遮水・透湿性シートは、例えばポリエチレンやポリプロピレン等のオレフィン樹脂中に無機充填材を溶融混練してシートを形成した後、一軸又は二軸方向に延伸することにより得られる微多孔性シートである。   As the liquid-impermeable sheet 12 covering the back side (non-skin contact side) of the absorbent body 13, a liquid-impermeable plastic sheet such as polyethylene or polypropylene is used, but in recent years, it has moisture permeability from the viewpoint of preventing stuffiness. Are preferably used. This water-impervious and moisture-permeable sheet is a microporous sheet obtained by, for example, melt-kneading an inorganic filler in an olefin resin such as polyethylene or polypropylene to form a sheet, and then stretching in a uniaxial or biaxial direction. is there.

吸収体13としては、公知のもの、例えばパルプ繊維の積繊体、セルロースアセテート等のフィラメントの集合体、あるいは不織布を基本とし、必要に応じて高吸収性ポリマーを混合、固着等してなるものを用いることができる。この吸収体13は、形状及びポリマー保持等のため、必要に応じてクレープ紙等の、液透過性及び液保持性を有する包装シート14によって包装することができる。   Absorbent body 13 is a known one, for example, a pulp fiber stack, a filament aggregate such as cellulose acetate, or a non-woven fabric, mixed with a superabsorbent polymer as necessary, fixed, etc. Can be used. The absorbent body 13 can be packaged with a wrapping sheet 14 having liquid permeability and liquid retention, such as crepe paper, if necessary, for holding the shape and polymer.

吸収体13の形状は、股間部に前後両側よりも幅の狭い括れ部分13Nを有するほぼ砂時計状に形成されている。括れ部分13Nの寸法は適宜定めることができるが、括れ部分13Nの前後方向長さはおむつ全長の20〜50%程度とすることができ、その最も狭い部分の幅は吸収体13の全幅の40〜60%程度とすることができる。このような括れ部分13Nを有する場合において、内装体10の平面形状がほぼ長方形とされていると、内装体10における吸収体13の括れ部分13Nと対応する部分に、吸収体13を有しない無吸収体側部17が形成される。   The shape of the absorber 13 is formed in a substantially hourglass shape having a narrowed portion 13N narrower than the front and rear sides at the crotch portion. Although the size of the constricted portion 13N can be determined as appropriate, the length in the front-rear direction of the constricted portion 13N can be about 20 to 50% of the total length of the diaper, and the width of the narrowest portion is 40% of the total width of the absorber 13. It can be about -60%. In the case of having such a constricted portion 13N, if the planar shape of the interior body 10 is substantially rectangular, the interior body 10 has no absorber 13 in a portion corresponding to the constricted portion 13N of the absorber 13. Absorber side portions 17 are formed.

液不透過性シート12は、トップシート11とともに吸収体13の幅方向両側で裏側に折り返されている。この液不透過性シート12としては、排便や尿などの褐色が出ないように不透明のものを用いるのが望ましい。不透明化としては、プラスチック中に、炭酸カルシウム、酸化チタン、酸化亜鉛、ホワイトカーボン、クレイ、タルク、硫酸バリウムなどの顔料や充填材を内添してフィルム化したものが好適に使用される。   The liquid-impermeable sheet 12 is folded back together with the top sheet 11 on both sides in the width direction of the absorber 13. As this liquid-impermeable sheet 12, it is desirable to use an opaque sheet so that brown color such as defecation and urine does not appear. As the opacification, a plastic film and a pigment and filler such as calcium carbonate, titanium oxide, zinc oxide, white carbon, clay, talc and barium sulfate are preferably used.

内装体10の両側部には脚周りにフィットする立体ギャザー90が形成されている。この立体ギャザー90は、図5及び図6に示されるように、内装体10の裏面の側部に固定された固定部91と、この固定部91から内装体10の側方を経て内装体10の表面の側部上まで延在する本体部92と、本体部92の前後端部が倒伏状態で内装体10の表面(図示形態ではトップシート11)の側部に固定されて形成された倒伏部分93と、この倒伏部分93間が非固定とされて形成された自由部分94とを有している。これらの各部は、不織布などのシートを折り返して二重シートとしたギャザーシート95により形成されている。ギャザーシート95は、内装体10の前後方向全体にわたり取り付けられており、倒伏部分93は無吸収体側部17よりも前側及び後側に設けられ、自由部分94は無吸収体側部17の前後両側に延在されている。また、二重のギャザーシート95間には、自由部分の先端部等に細長状のギャザー弾性部材96が配設されている。ギャザー弾性部材96は、製品状態において図5に示すように、弾性収縮力により自由部分94を立ち上げるためのものである。   Solid gathers 90 that fit around the legs are formed on both sides of the interior body 10. As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the three-dimensional gather 90 includes a fixing portion 91 fixed to the side portion of the back surface of the interior body 10, and the interior body 10 through the side of the interior body 10 from the fixing portion 91. The body part 92 extending to the side part of the surface of the body, and the front and rear end parts of the body part 92 are fixed to the side part of the surface of the interior body 10 (the top sheet 11 in the illustrated embodiment) in the lying state. It has the part 93 and the free part 94 formed between this fall part 93 unfixed. Each of these parts is formed of a gather sheet 95 which is a double sheet obtained by folding a sheet such as a nonwoven fabric. The gather sheet 95 is attached over the entire front-rear direction of the interior body 10, the lying portion 93 is provided on the front side and the rear side of the non-absorbent body side portion 17, and the free portion 94 is disposed on both front and rear sides of the non-absorbent side portion 17. Has been extended. Further, an elongated gather elastic member 96 is disposed between the double gather sheets 95 at the tip of the free part. As shown in FIG. 5, the gather elastic member 96 is for raising the free portion 94 by elastic contraction force as shown in FIG.

図5及び図6に示される立体ギャザー90は、本体部92が折り返されていない形態であるが、本体部92における付け根側の部分が幅方向中央側に向かって斜めに起立し、中間部より先端側の部分が幅方向外側に向かって斜めに起立する形態とするなど、公知のあらゆる形態を採用することができる。   The three-dimensional gather 90 shown in FIGS. 5 and 6 has a configuration in which the main body portion 92 is not folded back, but the base side portion of the main body portion 92 rises obliquely toward the center in the width direction, and from the middle portion. Any known form such as a form in which the tip side portion stands obliquely outward in the width direction can be adopted.

ギャザー弾性部材96としては、通常使用されるスチレン系ゴム、オレフィン系ゴム、ウレタン系ゴム、エステル系ゴム、ポリウレタン、ポリエチレン、ポリスチレン、スチレンブタジエン、シリコーン、ポリエステル等の素材を用いることができる。また、外側から見え難くするため、太さは925dtex以下、テンションは150〜350%、間隔は7.0mm以下として配設するのがよい。なお、ギャザー弾性部材96としては、図示形態のような糸状の他、ある程度の幅を有するテープ状のものを用いることもできる。   As the gather elastic member 96, materials such as styrene rubber, olefin rubber, urethane rubber, ester rubber, polyurethane, polyethylene, polystyrene, styrene butadiene, silicone, and polyester that are usually used can be used. In order to make it difficult to see from the outside, it is preferable that the thickness is 925 dtex or less, the tension is 150 to 350%, and the interval is 7.0 mm or less. As the gather elastic member 96, a tape-like member having a certain width can be used in addition to the thread-like shape shown in the figure.

前述のギャザーシート95を構成する素材繊維もトップシート11と同様に、ポリエチレン又はポリプロピレン等のオレフィン系、ポリエステル系、ポリアミド系等の合成繊維の他、レーヨンやキュプラ等の再生繊維、綿等の天然繊維とすることができ、スパンボンド法、サーマルボンド法、メルトブローン法、ニードルパンチ法等の適宜の加工方法に得られた不織布を用いることができるが、特にはムレを防止するために坪量を抑えて通気性に優れた不織布を用いるのがよい。さらにギャザーシート95については、尿などの透過を防止するとともに、カブレを防止しかつ肌への感触性(ドライ感)を高めるために、シリコーン系、パラフィン金属系、アルキルクロミッククロライド系撥水剤などをコーティングした撥水処理不織布を用いるのが望ましい。   In the same manner as the top sheet 11, the material fiber constituting the gather sheet 95 is made of synthetic fibers such as polyethylene or polypropylene, synthetic fibers such as polyester or polyamide, recycled fibers such as rayon or cupra, natural fibers such as cotton. Nonwoven fabric obtained by an appropriate processing method such as a spun bond method, a thermal bond method, a melt blown method, a needle punch method, etc. can be used. It is better to use a nonwoven fabric that suppresses and has excellent air permeability. Furthermore, for gather sheets 95, silicone, paraffin metal, alkylchromic chloride water repellents, etc. are used to prevent the passage of urine and the like, as well as to prevent fogging and to improve the feel to the skin (dry feeling). It is desirable to use a water-repellent non-woven fabric coated with.

図3〜図6に示すように、内装体10はその裏面が、内外固定領域10B(斜線領域)において、外装体20の内面に対してホットメルト接着剤等により接合される。この内外固定領域10Bは、適宜定めることができ、内装体10の幅方向WDのほぼ全体とすることもできるが、幅方向両側部は外装体20に固定しないことが好ましい。   As shown in FIGS. 3 to 6, the back surface of the interior body 10 is joined to the inner surface of the exterior body 20 by a hot melt adhesive or the like in the inner / outer fixing region 10 </ b> B (shaded region). The inside / outside fixing region 10B can be determined as appropriate and can be substantially the entire width direction WD of the interior body 10, but it is preferable that both side portions in the width direction are not fixed to the exterior body 20.

(外装体の構造例)
外装体20は吸収体13の側縁より側方まで延在されている。外装体20は図示形態のように股間部において外装体20の側縁が内装体10の側縁より幅方向中央側に位置していても、また幅方向外側に位置していても良い。また、外装体20は、サイドシール部21と対応する前後方向範囲である胴周り部Tと、前身頃Fの胴周り部T及び後身頃Bの胴周り部Tの間の前後方向範囲である中間部Lとを有する。そして、図示形態の外装体20では、その中間部Lの前後方向中間を除いて、図2及び図4〜図6に示されるように、第1シート層20A及び第2シート層20Bの間に弾性フィルム30が積層されるとともに、図7に示されるように、第1シート層20A及び第2シート層20Bが、間隔を空けて配列された多数のシート接合部40で弾性フィルム30を貫通する貫通孔31を通じて接合された、弾性フィルム伸縮構造20Xを有している。第1シート層20A及び第2シート層20Bは、弾性フィルム30の貫通孔31を通じてではなく、弾性フィルム30を介して間接的に接合されていても良い。外装体20の平面形状は、中間部Lの幅方向両側縁がそれぞれ脚開口を形成するように凹状の脚周りライン29により形成されており、全体として砂時計に似た形状をなしている。外装体20は、前身頃F及び後身頃Bで個別に形成し、両者が股間部で前後方向LDに離間するように配置しても良い。
(External body structure example)
The exterior body 20 extends from the side edge of the absorber 13 to the side. The exterior body 20 may have the side edge of the exterior body 20 located at the center in the width direction from the side edge of the interior body 10 at the crotch portion or at the outer side in the width direction as illustrated. Further, the exterior body 20 is a front-rear direction range between a waistline T corresponding to the side seal portion 21 and a front-rear range, a waistline T of the front body F, and a waistline T of the back body B. And an intermediate portion L. And in the exterior body 20 of the illustrated form, as shown in FIG. 2 and FIGS. 4 to 6 except for the middle in the front-rear direction of the intermediate portion L, between the first sheet layer 20A and the second sheet layer 20B. While the elastic film 30 is laminated, as shown in FIG. 7, the first sheet layer 20 </ b> A and the second sheet layer 20 </ b> B penetrate the elastic film 30 with a large number of sheet joint portions 40 arranged at intervals. It has an elastic film stretchable structure 20 </ b> X joined through the through hole 31. The first sheet layer 20 </ b> A and the second sheet layer 20 </ b> B may be indirectly joined through the elastic film 30 instead of through the through hole 31 of the elastic film 30. The planar shape of the exterior body 20 is formed by concave leg-around lines 29 so that both side edges of the intermediate portion L in the width direction form leg openings, respectively, and has a shape similar to an hourglass as a whole. The exterior body 20 may be formed separately for the front body F and the back body B, and may be disposed so as to be separated in the front-rear direction LD at the crotch portion.

図1及び図2に示す形態は、弾性フィルム伸縮構造20Xがウエスト端部領域23まで延在されている形態であるが、ウエスト端部領域23に弾性フィルム伸縮構造20Xを用いると、ウエスト端部領域23の締め付けが不十分になる等、必要に応じて、図15及び図16に示すようにウエスト端部領域23には弾性フィルム伸縮構造20Xを設けずに、従来の細長状のウエスト部弾性部材24による伸縮構造を設けることもできる。ただし、外装体20における脚開口の縁部分には、脚開口に沿って延びる細長状の弾性部材は設けられない。ウエスト部弾性部材24は、前後方向LDに間隔をおいて配置された複数の糸ゴム等の細長状の弾性部材であり、身体の胴周りを締め付けるように伸縮力を与えるものである。ウエスト部弾性部材24は、間隔を密にして実質的に一束として配置されるのではなく、所定の伸縮ゾーンを形成するように3〜8mm程度の間隔を空けて、3本以上、好ましくは5本以上配置される。ウエスト部弾性部材24の固定時の伸長率は適宜定めることができるが、通常の成人用の場合230〜320%程度とすることができる。ウエスト部弾性部材24は、図示例では糸ゴムを用いたが、例えば平ゴム等、他の細長状の弾性部材を用いても良い。また、図示しないが、外装体20に弾性フィルム伸縮構造20Xを設けずに、糸ゴム、平ゴム等の細長状の弾性部材のみ設ける汎用形態としてもよい。   The form shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 is a form in which the elastic film stretchable structure 20X extends to the waist end region 23, but when the elastic film stretchable structure 20X is used for the waist end region 23, the waist end portion is used. If necessary, as shown in FIGS. 15 and 16, the waist end region 23 is not provided with the elastic film stretchable structure 20X as shown in FIGS. An elastic structure by the member 24 can also be provided. However, an elongated elastic member extending along the leg opening is not provided at the edge portion of the leg opening in the exterior body 20. The waist elastic member 24 is an elongated elastic member such as a plurality of thread rubbers arranged at intervals in the front-rear direction LD, and gives an elastic force so as to tighten around the body torso. The waist elastic members 24 are not arranged substantially as a single bundle with a close interval, but with a spacing of about 3 to 8 mm so as to form a predetermined stretch zone, preferably three or more, preferably Five or more are arranged. The stretch rate at the time of fixing the waist elastic member 24 can be determined as appropriate, but can be about 230 to 320% in the case of a normal adult. As the waist elastic member 24, thread rubber is used in the illustrated example, but other elongated elastic members such as flat rubber may be used. Moreover, although not shown in figure, it is good also as a general purpose form which provides only elongate elastic members, such as a thread rubber and a flat rubber, without providing the elastic body expansion-contraction structure 20X in the exterior body 20. FIG.

他の形態としては、図示しないが、前身頃Fの胴周り部Tと後身頃Bの胴周り部Tとの間の中間部Lには弾性フィルム伸縮構造20Xを設けない形態としたり、前身頃Fの胴周り部T内から中間部Lを経て後身頃Bの胴周り部T内まで前後方向LDに連続的に伸縮構造20Xを設けたり、前身頃F及び後身頃Bのいずれか一方にのみ弾性フィルム伸縮構造20Xを設けたりすること等、適宜の変形も可能である。   As other forms, although not shown in the figure, the middle part L between the waist part T of the front body F and the waist part T of the back body B is not provided with an elastic film stretchable structure 20X. A stretchable structure 20X is continuously provided in the front-rear direction LD from the waistline T of the F to the waistline T of the back body B through the intermediate part L, or only one of the front body F and the back body B Appropriate modifications such as providing the elastic film stretchable structure 20X are also possible.

個々のシート接合部40及び貫通孔31の自然長状態での形状は、適宜定めることができるが、真円形(図7、図8参照)、楕円形、三角形、長方形(図9〜図12参照)、ひし形(図13(b)参照)等の多角形、あるいは凸レンズ形(図13(a)参照)、凹レンズ形(図13(c)参照)、星形、雲形等、任意の形状とすることができる。個々のシート接合部の寸法は特に限定されないが、最大長さは0.5〜3.0mm、特に0.7〜1.1mmとするのが好ましく、最大幅40xは0.1〜3.0mm、特に伸縮方向と直交する直交方向XDに長い形状の場合には0.1〜1.1mmとするのが好ましい。   Although the shape in the natural length state of each sheet | seat junction part 40 and the through-hole 31 can be determined suitably, a perfect circle (refer FIG. 7, FIG. 8), an ellipse, a triangle, a rectangle (refer FIG. 9-12). ), Rhombus (see FIG. 13B), etc., or convex lens shape (see FIG. 13A), concave lens shape (see FIG. 13C), star shape, cloud shape, etc. be able to. The dimensions of the individual sheet joints are not particularly limited, but the maximum length is preferably 0.5 to 3.0 mm, particularly preferably 0.7 to 1.1 mm, and the maximum width 40x is 0.1 to 3.0 mm. In particular, when the shape is long in the orthogonal direction XD orthogonal to the expansion and contraction direction, the thickness is preferably 0.1 to 1.1 mm.

個々のシート接合部40の大きさは、適宜定めれば良いが、大きすぎるとシート接合部40の硬さが感触に及ぼす影響が大きくなり、小さすぎると接合面積が少なく資材同士が十分に接着できなくなるため、通常の場合、個々のシート接合部40の面積は0.14〜3.5mm2程度とすることが好ましい。個々の貫通孔31の開口の面積は、貫通孔31を介してシート接合部が形成されるためシート接合部以上であれば良いが、シート接合部の面積の1〜1.5倍程度とすることが好ましい。なお、貫通孔31の開口の面積は、弾性フィルム30単独の状態ではなく第1シート層20A及び第2シート層20Bと一体化した状態で、かつ自然長の状態における値を意味し、貫通孔31の開口の面積が、弾性フィルム30の表と裏で異なる等、厚み方向に均一でない場合には最小値を意味する。 The size of each sheet bonding portion 40 may be determined as appropriate. However, if the size is too large, the hardness of the sheet bonding portion 40 has an effect on the touch. If the size is too small, the bonding area is small and the materials are sufficiently bonded to each other. Since it becomes impossible, it is preferable that the area of each sheet | seat junction part 40 shall be about 0.14-3.5 mm < 2 > normally. The area of the opening of each through hole 31 may be equal to or greater than the sheet joint portion because the sheet joint portion is formed through the through hole 31, but is about 1 to 1.5 times the area of the sheet joint portion. It is preferable. In addition, the area of the opening of the through-hole 31 means a value in a state of being integrated with the first sheet layer 20A and the second sheet layer 20B, not in the state of the elastic film 30 alone, and in a natural length state. When the area of the opening 31 is not uniform in the thickness direction, such as when the elastic film 30 is different from the front and back, it means the minimum value.

シート接合部40及び貫通孔31の平面配列は適宜定めることができるが、規則的に繰り返される平面配列が好ましく、図14(a)に示すような斜方格子状や、図14(b)に示すような六角格子状(これらは千鳥状ともいわれる)、図14(c)に示すような正方格子状、図14(d)に示すような矩形格子状、図14(e)に示すような平行体格子(図示のように、多数の平行な斜め方向の列の群が互いに交差するように2群設けられる形態)状等(これらが伸縮方向EDに対して90度未満の角度で傾斜したものを含む)のように規則的に繰り返されるものの他、シート接合部40の群(群単位の配列は規則的でも不規則でも良く、模様や文字状等でも良い)が規則的に繰り返されるものとすることもできる。   Although the planar arrangement of the sheet joint portion 40 and the through holes 31 can be determined as appropriate, a planar arrangement that is regularly repeated is preferable, and an oblique lattice shape as shown in FIG. Hexagonal lattice shape as shown (these are also called staggered shapes), square lattice shape as shown in FIG. 14 (c), rectangular lattice shape as shown in FIG. 14 (d), as shown in FIG. 14 (e) Parallel body lattice (as shown in the figure, two groups are provided so that a large number of groups of parallel diagonal rows intersect each other), etc. (these are inclined at an angle of less than 90 degrees with respect to the expansion / contraction direction ED A group of sheet joints 40 (a group unit arrangement may be regular or irregular, and may be a pattern or a letter shape). It can also be.

シート接合部40における第1シート層20A及び第2シート層20Bの接合は、弾性フィルム30に形成された貫通孔31を通じて接合される場合、少なくともシート接合部40における第1シート層20A及び第2シート層20B間以外では、第1シート層20A及び第2シート層20Bは弾性フィルム30と接合されていないことが望ましい。   When the first sheet layer 20 </ b> A and the second sheet layer 20 </ b> B in the sheet bonding portion 40 are bonded through the through holes 31 formed in the elastic film 30, at least the first sheet layer 20 </ b> A and the second sheet layer 20 in the sheet bonding portion 40. It is desirable that the first sheet layer 20A and the second sheet layer 20B are not joined to the elastic film 30 except between the sheet layers 20B.

シート接合部40における第1シート層20A及び第2シート層20Bの接合手段は特に限定されない。例えば、シート接合部40における第1シート層20A及び第2シート層20Bの接合はホットメルト接着剤によりなされていても、ヒートシールや超音波シール等の素材溶着による接合手段によりなされていても良い。   The joining means of the first sheet layer 20A and the second sheet layer 20B in the sheet joining portion 40 is not particularly limited. For example, the bonding of the first sheet layer 20A and the second sheet layer 20B in the sheet bonding portion 40 may be performed by a hot melt adhesive, or may be performed by a bonding means such as heat sealing or ultrasonic sealing. .

シート接合部40において第1シート層20A及び第2シート層20Bが弾性フィルム30の貫通孔31を通じて接合される場合、シート接合部40が素材溶着により形成される形態は、シート接合部40における第1シート層20A及び第2シート層20Bの少なくとも一方の大部分又は一部の溶融固化物20mのみにより第1シート層20A及び第2シート層20Bが接合される第1溶着形態(図17(a)参照)、シート接合部40における弾性フィルム30の全部若しくは大部分又は一部の溶融固化物30mのみにより第1シート層20A及び第2シート層20Bが接合される第2溶着形態(図17(b)参照)、及びこれらの両者が組み合わさった第3溶着形態(図17(c)参照)のいずれでも良いが、第2、第3溶着形態が好ましい。特に好ましいのは、第1シート層20A及び第2シート層20Bの一部の溶融固化物20mと、シート接合部40における弾性フィルム30の全部若しくは大部分の溶融固化物30mとにより第1シート層20A及び第2シート層20Bが接合される形態である。なお、図19(b)に示される第3溶着形態では、黒色に写っている第1シート層20A又は第2シート層20Bの繊維の溶融固化物20m間に、白色に写っている弾性フィルム30の溶融固化物30mが見られるのに対して、図19(a)に示される第1溶着形態では、第1シート層20A又は第2シート層20Bの繊維の溶融固化物20m間に弾性フィルムの溶融固化物は見られない(白色部分は繊維の溶融固化物20mの境界と、繊維の溶融固化物20mの乱反射である)。   When the first sheet layer 20 </ b> A and the second sheet layer 20 </ b> B are bonded through the through-hole 31 of the elastic film 30 in the sheet bonding portion 40, the form in which the sheet bonding portion 40 is formed by material welding is the first in the sheet bonding portion 40. A first welding mode in which the first sheet layer 20A and the second sheet layer 20B are joined only by most or part of the molten solidified material 20m of at least one of the first sheet layer 20A and the second sheet layer 20B (FIG. 17A )), A second welding mode in which the first sheet layer 20A and the second sheet layer 20B are joined by all or most of the elastic film 30 in the sheet joining portion 40 or only a part of the melt-solidified material 30m (FIG. 17 ( b)) and a third welding mode in which both of these are combined (see FIG. 17C) may be used, but the second and third welding modes are preferred. Arbitrariness. Particularly preferably, the first sheet layer is composed of a part of the melt-solidified material 20m of the first sheet layer 20A and the second sheet layer 20B and the whole or most of the melt-solidified material 30m of the elastic film 30 in the sheet joint portion 40. 20A and the second sheet layer 20B are joined together. In the third welding mode shown in FIG. 19B, the elastic film 30 appears in white between the melt-solidified products 20m of the fibers of the first sheet layer 20A or the second sheet layer 20B shown in black. In the first welding form shown in FIG. 19A, an elastic film is formed between the melt-solidified products 20m of the fibers of the first sheet layer 20A or the second sheet layer 20B. A melt-solidified product is not observed (the white part is the boundary between the fiber melt-solidified product 20 m and the diffuse reflection of the fiber melt-solidified product 20 m).

第1接着形態や第3接着形態のように、第1シート層20A及び第2シート層20Bの少なくとも一方の大部分又は一部の溶融固化物20mを接着剤として第1シート層20A及び第2シート層20Bを接合する場合、第1シート層20A及び第2シート層20Bの一部は溶融しない方がシート接合部40が硬質化しないため好ましい。なお、第1シート層20A及び第2シート層20Bが不織布であるときには、第1シート層20A及び第2シート層20Bの一部が溶融しないことには、シート接合部40の全繊維について芯(複合繊維における芯だけでなく単成分繊維の中心部分を含む)は残るがその周囲部分(複合繊維における鞘だけでなく単成分繊維の表層側の部分を含む)は溶融する形態や、一部の繊維は全く溶融しないが、残りの繊維は全部が溶融する又は芯は残るがその周囲部分は溶融する形態を含む。   As in the first adhesive form and the third adhesive form, the first sheet layer 20A and the second sheet 20A and the second sheet 20A and the second sheet layer 20B are used by using at least one of the first sheet layer 20A and the second sheet layer 20B as the adhesive. When joining the sheet layer 20B, it is preferable not to melt part of the first sheet layer 20A and the second sheet layer 20B because the sheet joining part 40 does not harden. Note that when the first sheet layer 20A and the second sheet layer 20B are non-woven fabrics, a part of the first sheet layer 20A and the second sheet layer 20B does not melt. The composite fiber contains not only the core but also the central part of the single component fiber), but the surrounding part (including not only the sheath but also the surface part of the single component fiber of the composite fiber) melts, The fibers do not melt at all, but the remaining fibers either completely melt or the core remains but the surrounding portion includes a molten form.

第2溶着形態及び第3溶着形態のように、弾性フィルム30の溶融固化物30mを接着剤として第1シート層20A及び第2シート層20Bを接合すると、剥離強度が高いものとなる。第2溶着形態では、第1シート層20A及び第2シート層20Bの少なくとも一方の融点が弾性フィルム30の融点及びシート接合部40形成時の加熱温度よりも高い条件下で、第1シート層20A及び第2シート層20B間に弾性フィルム30を挟み、シート接合部40となる部位を加圧・加熱し、弾性フィルム30のみを溶融することにより製造することができる。一方、第3溶着形態では、第1シート層20A及び第2シート層20Bの少なくとも一方の融点が弾性フィルム30の融点よりも高い条件下で、第1シート層20A及び第2シート層20B間に弾性フィルム30を挟み、シート接合部40となる部位を加圧・加熱し、第1シート層20A及び第2シート層20Bの少なくとも一方と弾性フィルム30とを溶融することにより製造することができる。このような観点から、弾性フィルム30の融点は80〜145℃程度のものが好ましく、第1シート層20A及び第2シート層20Bの融点は85〜190℃程度、特に150〜190℃程度のものが好ましく、第1シート層20A及び第2シート層20Bの融点と弾性フィルム30の融点との差は60〜90℃程度であるのが好ましい。また、加熱温度は100〜150℃程度とするのが好ましい。   When the first sheet layer 20A and the second sheet layer 20B are joined using the melt-solidified material 30m of the elastic film 30 as an adhesive as in the second welding form and the third welding form, the peel strength becomes high. In the second welding mode, the first sheet layer 20A and the second sheet layer 20B have a melting point that is higher than the melting point of the elastic film 30 and the heating temperature when forming the sheet joint 40. In addition, the elastic film 30 is sandwiched between the second sheet layers 20 </ b> B, the portion to be the sheet bonding portion 40 is pressurized and heated, and only the elastic film 30 is melted. On the other hand, in the third welding mode, the first sheet layer 20A and the second sheet layer 20B are between the first sheet layer 20A and the second sheet layer 20B under the condition that the melting point of at least one of the first sheet layer 20A and the second sheet layer 20B is higher than the melting point of the elastic film 30. It can be manufactured by sandwiching the elastic film 30, pressurizing and heating a portion to be the sheet bonding portion 40, and melting at least one of the first sheet layer 20 </ b> A and the second sheet layer 20 </ b> B and the elastic film 30. From such a viewpoint, the melting point of the elastic film 30 is preferably about 80 to 145 ° C., and the melting points of the first sheet layer 20A and the second sheet layer 20B are about 85 to 190 ° C., particularly about 150 to 190 ° C. The difference between the melting points of the first sheet layer 20A and the second sheet layer 20B and the melting point of the elastic film 30 is preferably about 60 to 90 ° C. Moreover, it is preferable that heating temperature shall be about 100-150 degreeC.

第2溶着形態及び第3溶着形態では、第1シート層20A及び第2シート層20Bが不織布であるときには、弾性フィルム30の溶融固化物30mは、図18(c)に示すようにシート接合部40における第1シート層20A及び第2シート層20Bの厚み方向全体にわたり繊維間に浸透していても良いが、図17(b)(c)及び図18(a)に示すように厚み方向中間まで繊維間に浸透する形態、又は図18(b)に示すように第1シート層20A及び第2シート層20Bの繊維間にほとんど浸透しない形態の方が、シート接合部40の柔軟性が高いものとなる。   In the second welding mode and the third welding mode, when the first sheet layer 20A and the second sheet layer 20B are non-woven fabrics, the melt-solidified product 30m of the elastic film 30 is a sheet joint portion as shown in FIG. 40 may penetrate between the fibers in the entire thickness direction of the first sheet layer 20A and the second sheet layer 20B, but as shown in FIGS. 17 (b) (c) and 18 (a), it is intermediate in the thickness direction. The form that penetrates between the fibers up to or the form that hardly penetrates between the fibers of the first sheet layer 20A and the second sheet layer 20B as shown in FIG. It will be a thing.

図20は、第2溶着形態及び第3溶着形態を形成するのに好適な超音波シール装置の例を示している。この超音波シール装置では、シート接合部40の形成に際して、外面にシート接合部40のパターンで形成した突起部60aを有するアンビルロール60と超音波ホーン61との間に、第1シート層20A、弾性フィルム30及び第2シート層20Bを送り込む。この際、例えば上流側の弾性フィルム30の送り込み駆動ロール63及びニップロール62による送り込み移送速度を、アンビルロール60及び超音波ホーン61以降の移送速度よりも遅くすることにより、送り込み駆動ロール63及びニップロール62によるニップ位置からアンビルロール60及び超音波ホーン61によるシール位置までの経路で、弾性フィルム30をMD方向(マシン方向、流れ方向)に伸長力を加え、全体として所定の伸長率まで伸長する。この弾性フィルム30の全体としての伸長率は、アンビルロール60及び送り込み駆動ロール63の速度差を選択することにより設定することができ、例えば300%〜500%程度とすることができる。62はニップロールである。アンビルロール60と超音波ホーン61との間に送り込まれた、第1シート層20A、弾性フィルム30及び第2シート層20Bは、この順に積層した状態で、突起部60aと超音波ホーン61との間で加圧しつつ、超音波ホーン61の超音波振動エネルギーにより加熱し、弾性フィルム30のみを溶融するか、又は第1シート層20A及び第2シート層20Bの少なくとも一方と弾性フィルム30とを溶融することによって、弾性フィルム30に貫通孔31を形成するのと同時に、その貫通孔31を通じて第1シート層20A及び第2シート層20Bを接合する。したがって、この場合にはアンビルロール60の突起部60aの大きさ、形状、離間間隔、ロール長方向及びロール周方向の配置パターンなどを選定することにより、シート接合部40の面積率を選択することができる。   FIG. 20 shows an example of an ultrasonic sealing device suitable for forming the second welding form and the third welding form. In this ultrasonic sealing apparatus, when the sheet bonding portion 40 is formed, the first sheet layer 20A, between the anvil roll 60 and the ultrasonic horn 61, each having a projection 60a formed in the pattern of the sheet bonding portion 40 on the outer surface, The elastic film 30 and the second sheet layer 20B are fed. At this time, for example, the feeding driving speed of the upstream elastic film 30 by the feeding driving roll 63 and the nip roll 62 is made slower than the feeding speed after the anvil roll 60 and the ultrasonic horn 61, thereby the feeding driving roll 63 and the nip roll 62. The elastic film 30 is stretched in the MD direction (machine direction, flow direction) through the path from the nip position by the anvil roll 60 and the sealing position by the ultrasonic horn 61 to stretch to a predetermined stretch rate as a whole. The stretch rate of the elastic film 30 as a whole can be set by selecting a speed difference between the anvil roll 60 and the feed drive roll 63, and can be set to about 300% to 500%, for example. 62 is a nip roll. The first sheet layer 20 </ b> A, the elastic film 30, and the second sheet layer 20 </ b> B fed between the anvil roll 60 and the ultrasonic horn 61 are stacked in this order, and the protrusion 60 a and the ultrasonic horn 61 are While being pressurized, the ultrasonic horn 61 is heated by ultrasonic vibration energy to melt only the elastic film 30 or at least one of the first sheet layer 20A and the second sheet layer 20B and the elastic film 30 are melted. By doing so, the first sheet layer 20 </ b> A and the second sheet layer 20 </ b> B are joined through the through-hole 31 at the same time as the through-hole 31 is formed in the elastic film 30. Therefore, in this case, by selecting the size, shape, separation interval, arrangement pattern in the roll length direction and roll circumferential direction, etc., of the projections 60a of the anvil roll 60, the area ratio of the sheet joining portion 40 is selected. Can do.

貫通孔31が形成される理由は必ずしも明確ではないが、弾性フィルム30におけるアンビルロール60の突起部60aと対応する部分が溶融して周囲から離脱することにより開孔するものと考えられる。この際、弾性フィルム30における、伸縮方向EDに隣接する貫通孔31の間の部分は、図7(a)、図9(a)及び図11(a)に示すように、貫通孔31により伸縮方向両側の部分から切断され、収縮方向両側の支えを失うことになるため、収縮方向と直交する方向の連続性を保ちうる範囲で、伸縮方向EDと直交する直交方向XDの中央側ほど伸縮方向中央側に釣り合うまで収縮し、貫通孔31が伸縮方向EDに拡大する。そして、後述する伸縮領域80のように弾性フィルム30が伸縮方向EDに沿って直線的に連続する部分が残るパターンでシート接合部40を形成すると、図7(d)及び図9(d)に示すように、個別の製品に切断すること等により自然長状態まで収縮するときに、貫通孔31の拡大部分の伸縮方向EDの長さは、貫通孔31とシート接合部40との間に隙間ができなくなるまで収縮することとなる。一方、後述する非伸縮領域70のように弾性フィルム30が伸縮方向EDに沿って直線的に連続する部分がないパターンでシート接合部40を形成すると、図11(d)に示すように、個別の製品に切断すること等により自然長状態まで収縮するときにほとんど収縮しないため、貫通孔31とシート接合部40との間に隙間が大きく残されることとなる。   The reason why the through hole 31 is formed is not necessarily clear, but it is considered that the hole corresponding to the protrusion 60a of the anvil roll 60 in the elastic film 30 is melted and separated from the surroundings. At this time, the portion of the elastic film 30 between the through holes 31 adjacent to the expansion / contraction direction ED is expanded / contracted by the through holes 31 as shown in FIGS. 7 (a), 9 (a) and 11 (a). Since it is cut from both sides of the direction and loses the support on both sides of the contraction direction, the expansion direction is closer to the center of the orthogonal direction XD orthogonal to the expansion / contraction direction ED within a range in which continuity in the direction orthogonal to the contraction direction can be maintained. The through hole 31 expands in the expansion / contraction direction ED. And when the sheet | seat junction part 40 is formed in the pattern in which the part which the elastic film 30 continues linearly along the expansion / contraction direction ED remains like the expansion / contraction area | region 80 mentioned later, in FIG.7 (d) and FIG.9 (d). As shown, when contracted to a natural length state by cutting into individual products or the like, the length in the expansion / contraction direction ED of the enlarged portion of the through hole 31 is a gap between the through hole 31 and the sheet joining portion 40. It will shrink until it is no longer possible. On the other hand, when the sheet bonding portion 40 is formed in a pattern in which the elastic film 30 does not have a linearly continuous portion along the expansion / contraction direction ED as in a non-expandable region 70 described later, as shown in FIG. When the product is contracted to the natural length state by being cut into a product, it is hardly contracted, so that a large gap is left between the through hole 31 and the sheet joining portion 40.

第1シート層20A及び第2シート層20Bの構成材は、シート状のものであれば特に限定無く使用できるが、通気性及び柔軟性の観点から不織布を用いることが好ましい。不織布は、その原料繊維が何であるかは特に限定されない。例えば、ポリエチレンやポリプロピレン等のオレフィン系、ポリエステル系、ポリアミド系等の合成繊維、レーヨンやキュプラ等の再生繊維、綿等の天然繊維などや、これらから二種以上が使用された混合繊維、複合繊維などを例示することができる。さらに、不織布は、どのような加工によって製造されたものであってもよい。加工方法としては、公知の方法、例えば、スパンレース法、スパンボンド法、サーマルボンド法、メルトブローン法、ニードルパンチ法、エアスルー法、ポイントボンド法等を例示することができる。不織布を用いる場合、その目付けは12〜20g/m2程度とするのが好ましい。また、第1シート層20A及び第2シート層20Bの一部又は全部は、一枚の資材を折り返して対向させた一対の層であっても良い。例えば、図示形態のように、ウエスト端部領域23では、外側に位置する構成材を第2シート層20Bとし、かつそのウエスト開口縁で内面側に折り返してなる折り返し部分20Cを第1シート層20Aとして、その間に弾性フィルム30を介在させるとともに、それ以外の部分では内側に位置する構成材を第1シート層20Aとし、外側に位置する構成材を第2シート層20Bとして、その間に弾性フィルム30を介在させることができる。もちろん、前後方向LDの全体にわたり第1シート層20Aの構成材及び第2シート層20Bの構成材を個別に設け、構成材を折り返しすることなく、第1シート層20Aの構成材及び第2シート層20Bの構成材間に弾性フィルム30を介在させることもできる。 The constituent material of the first sheet layer 20A and the second sheet layer 20B can be used without particular limitation as long as it is a sheet, but it is preferable to use a nonwoven fabric from the viewpoint of air permeability and flexibility. The nonwoven fabric is not particularly limited as to what the raw fiber is. For example, synthetic fibers such as olefins such as polyethylene and polypropylene, polyesters and polyamides, recycled fibers such as rayon and cupra, natural fibers such as cotton, and mixed fibers and composite fibers using two or more of them. Etc. can be illustrated. Furthermore, the nonwoven fabric may be manufactured by any processing. Examples of the processing method include known methods such as a spunlace method, a spunbond method, a thermal bond method, a melt blown method, a needle punch method, an air through method, and a point bond method. When using a nonwoven fabric, the basis weight is preferably about 12 to 20 g / m 2 . Moreover, a part or all of the first sheet layer 20A and the second sheet layer 20B may be a pair of layers in which one material is folded and faced. For example, as shown in the figure, in the waist end region 23, the constituent material located outside is the second sheet layer 20B, and the folded portion 20C that is folded back to the inner surface side at the waist opening edge is the first sheet layer 20A. In addition, the elastic film 30 is interposed therebetween, and in the other portions, the constituent material positioned inside is the first sheet layer 20A, and the constituent material positioned outside is the second sheet layer 20B, and the elastic film 30 is interposed therebetween. Can be interposed. Of course, the constituent material of the first sheet layer 20A and the constituent material of the second sheet layer 20B are individually provided over the entire front-rear direction LD, and the constituent material of the first sheet layer 20A and the second sheet are not folded back. The elastic film 30 can also be interposed between the constituent materials of the layer 20B.

弾性フィルム30は特に限定されるものではなく、それ自体弾性を有する熱可塑性樹脂フィルムであれば、無孔のものの他、通気のために多数の孔やスリットが形成されたものも用いることができる。特に、MD方向における引張強度が8〜25N/35mm、CD方向における引張強度が5〜20N/35mm、MD方向における引張伸度が450〜1050%、及びCD方向における引張伸度が450〜1400%の弾性フィルム30であると好ましい。弾性フィルム30の厚みは特に限定されないが、20〜40μm程度であるのが好ましい。   The elastic film 30 is not particularly limited, and as long as it is a thermoplastic resin film having elasticity per se, a film having a large number of holes and slits for ventilation can also be used. . In particular, the tensile strength in the MD direction is 8 to 25 N / 35 mm, the tensile strength in the CD direction is 5 to 20 N / 35 mm, the tensile elongation in the MD direction is 450 to 1050%, and the tensile elongation in the CD direction is 450 to 1400%. The elastic film 30 is preferable. Although the thickness of the elastic film 30 is not specifically limited, It is preferable that it is about 20-40 micrometers.

(伸縮領域)
外装体20における弾性フィルム伸縮構造20Xを有する領域は、伸縮可能な伸縮領域を有している。伸縮領域80では、弾性フィルム30が伸縮方向EDに沿って直線的に連続する部分32を有しており、かつ弾性フィルム30の収縮力により伸縮方向EDに収縮しているとともに、伸縮方向EDに伸長可能となっている。より具体的には、弾性フィルム30を伸縮方向EDに伸長した状態で、伸縮方向ED及び直交方向XD((例えば幅方向WD及び前後方向LD)にそれぞれ間隔を空けて、弾性フィルム30の貫通孔31を介して第1シート層20A及び第2シート層20Bを接合し、多数のシート接合部40を形成することにより、弾性フィルム伸縮構造20Xを形成するとともに、伸縮領域80では弾性フィルム30がほぼ伸縮方向EDに沿って直線的に連続する部分を有するように貫通孔31を配置することによって、このような伸縮性を付与することができる。
(Elastic area)
The area | region which has the elastic film expansion-contraction structure 20X in the exterior body 20 has an expansion-contraction expansion-contraction area | region. In the stretchable region 80, the elastic film 30 has a portion 32 linearly continuous along the stretchable direction ED, and is contracted in the stretchable direction ED by the contraction force of the elastic film 30, and in the stretchable direction ED. It can be extended. More specifically, in a state where the elastic film 30 is extended in the expansion / contraction direction ED, the elastic film 30 is spaced from each other in the expansion / contraction direction ED and the orthogonal direction XD (for example, the width direction WD and the front / rear direction LD). The first sheet layer 20 </ b> A and the second sheet layer 20 </ b> B are joined via 31 to form a large number of sheet joining portions 40, thereby forming the elastic film stretchable structure 20 </ b> X. Such stretchability can be imparted by arranging the through holes 31 so as to have linearly continuous portions along the stretch direction ED.

伸縮領域80は、自然長状態では、図7(d)及び図9(d)に示すように、シート接合部40間の第1シート層20A及び第2シート層20Bが互いに離間する方向に膨らんで、直交方向XDに延びる収縮皺25が形成され、図7(c)及び図9(c)に示すように、伸縮方向EDにある程度伸長した装着状態でも、収縮皺25は伸ばされるものの、残るようになっている。また、図示形態のように、第1シート層20A及び第2シート層20Bは、少なくともシート接合部40における第1シート層20A及び第2シート層20B間以外では弾性フィルム30と接合されていないと、装着状態を想定した図7(c)及び図9(c)及び第1シート層20A及び第2シート層20Bの展開状態を想定した図7(a)(b)及び図9(a)(b)からも分かるように、これらの状態では、弾性フィルム30における貫通孔31と、シート接合部40との間に隙間が形成され、弾性フィルム30の素材が無孔のフィルムやシートであっても、この隙間により通気性が付加される。また、図7(d)及び図9(d)に示す自然長状態では、弾性フィルム30の収縮により貫通孔31がすぼまり、貫通孔31とシート接合部40との間に隙間がほとんど形成されない。なお、装着状態及び自然長状態の収縮皺25の状態は、図8及び図10にも現れている。   In the natural length state, the stretchable region 80 swells in the direction in which the first sheet layer 20A and the second sheet layer 20B between the sheet joining portions 40 are separated from each other, as shown in FIGS. 7 (d) and 9 (d). Thus, the contraction ridge 25 extending in the orthogonal direction XD is formed, and as shown in FIGS. 7C and 9C, the contraction ridge 25 is stretched but remains even in the mounted state extended to some extent in the expansion / contraction direction ED. It is like that. Further, as illustrated, the first sheet layer 20A and the second sheet layer 20B are not joined to the elastic film 30 except at least between the first sheet layer 20A and the second sheet layer 20B in the sheet joining portion 40. FIGS. 7 (c) and 9 (c) assuming the mounted state, and FIGS. 7 (a) (b) and 9 (a) (9) assuming the expanded state of the first sheet layer 20A and the second sheet layer 20B. As can be seen from b), in these states, a gap is formed between the through hole 31 in the elastic film 30 and the sheet joint portion 40, and the material of the elastic film 30 is a non-porous film or sheet. However, air permeability is added by this gap. Further, in the natural length state shown in FIG. 7D and FIG. 9D, the through hole 31 is squeezed due to the contraction of the elastic film 30, and almost no gap is formed between the through hole 31 and the sheet joining portion 40. Not. In addition, the state of the shrinkage wrinkle 25 in the mounted state and the natural length state also appears in FIGS.

伸縮領域80の伸縮方向EDの弾性限界伸びは200%以上(好ましくは265〜295%)とすることが望ましい。伸縮領域80の弾性限界伸びは、製造時の弾性フィルム30の伸長率によってほぼ決まるがこれを基本として、伸縮方向EDの収縮を阻害する要因により低下する。このような阻害要因の主なものは、伸縮方向EDにおいて単位長さ当たりに占めるシート接合部40の長さ40xの割合であり、この割合が大きくなるほど弾性限界伸びが低下する。通常の場合、シート接合部40の長さ40xはシート接合部40の面積率と相関があるため、伸縮領域80の弾性限界伸びはシート接合部40の面積率により調整できる。   The elastic limit elongation in the expansion / contraction direction ED of the expansion / contraction region 80 is desirably 200% or more (preferably 265 to 295%). The elastic limit elongation of the stretchable region 80 is substantially determined by the stretch rate of the elastic film 30 at the time of manufacture, but based on this, it is lowered by a factor that inhibits the shrinkage in the stretchable direction ED. The main factor of such inhibition is the ratio of the length 40x of the sheet joint portion 40 per unit length in the expansion / contraction direction ED, and the elastic limit elongation decreases as the ratio increases. In a normal case, the length 40x of the sheet bonding portion 40 has a correlation with the area ratio of the sheet bonding portion 40, so that the elastic limit elongation of the stretchable region 80 can be adjusted by the area ratio of the sheet bonding portion 40.

伸縮領域80の伸長応力は、主に弾性フィルム30が伸縮方向ED(例えば幅方向WD)に沿って直線的に連続する部分32の幅32wの総和により調整することができる。弾性フィルム30が伸縮方向EDに沿って直線的に連続する部分32の幅32wは、当該連続する部分32の両側縁に接する貫通孔31の、直交方向XD(例えば前後方向LD)の間隔31dに等しく、当該貫通孔31の間隔31dは、直交方向XDにおける貫通孔31の長さ31yと、直交方向XDにおけるシート接合部40の長さ40yとが等しいとき(前述の貫通孔31及びシート接合部40の同時形成手法を採用する場合等)には、当該連続する部分の両側縁に接するシート接合部40の、直交方向XDの間隔40dに等しい。よって、この場合には、直交方向XDにおいて単位長さ当たりに占めるシート接合部40の長さ40yの割合により、伸縮領域80の伸長応力を調整することができ、通常の場合、シート接合部40の長さ40yはシート接合部40の面積率と相関があるため、シート接合部40の長さはシート接合部40の面積率により調整できる。伸縮領域80の伸長応力は、弾性限界の50%まで伸長したときの伸長応力を目安とすることができる。   The extension stress of the stretchable region 80 can be adjusted mainly by the sum of the widths 32w of the portions 32 where the elastic film 30 continues linearly along the stretch direction ED (for example, the width direction WD). The width 32w of the portion 32 in which the elastic film 30 is linearly continuous along the expansion / contraction direction ED is equal to the interval 31d in the orthogonal direction XD (for example, the front-rear direction LD) of the through-holes 31 in contact with both side edges of the continuous portion 32. The interval 31d between the through holes 31 is equal when the length 31y of the through hole 31 in the orthogonal direction XD is equal to the length 40y of the sheet bonding portion 40 in the orthogonal direction XD (the aforementioned through hole 31 and the sheet bonding portion). For example, when the 40 simultaneous forming method is employed, the sheet joining portion 40 in contact with both side edges of the continuous portion is equal to the interval 40d in the orthogonal direction XD. Therefore, in this case, the extension stress of the stretchable region 80 can be adjusted by the ratio of the length 40y of the sheet joint portion 40 per unit length in the orthogonal direction XD. Since the length 40y of the sheet has a correlation with the area ratio of the sheet bonding portion 40, the length of the sheet bonding portion 40 can be adjusted by the area ratio of the sheet bonding portion 40. The elongation stress of the expansion / contraction region 80 can be determined based on the elongation stress when it is expanded to 50% of the elastic limit.

伸縮領域80におけるシート接合部40の面積率及び個々のシート接合部40の面積は適宜定めることができるが、通常の場合、次の範囲内とするのが好ましい。
シート接合部40の面積:0.14〜3.5mm2(特に0.14〜1.0mm2
シート接合部40の面積率:1.8〜19.1%(特に1.8〜10.6%)
The area ratio of the sheet bonding portion 40 and the area of each sheet bonding portion 40 in the stretchable region 80 can be determined as appropriate, but in the normal case, it is preferably within the following range.
Area of sheet joint 40: 0.14 to 3.5 mm 2 (particularly 0.14 to 1.0 mm 2 )
Area ratio of sheet joint portion 40: 1.8 to 19.1% (particularly 1.8 to 10.6%)

このように、伸縮領域80の弾性限界伸び及び伸長応力はシート接合部40の面積により調整できるため、図15に示すように、伸縮領域80内にシート接合部40の面積率が異なる複数の領域を設け、部位に応じてフィット性を変化させることができる。図15に示す形態では、前身頃Fにおける脚の付け根に沿って斜め方向に延びる領域81、及び脚開口の縁部領域82は、それ以外の領域と比べてシート接合部40の面積率が高く、従って伸長応力が弱く、柔軟に伸縮する領域となっている。また、後身頃Bにおける腸骨対向領域83、及び脚開口の縁部領域82も、それ以外の領域と比べてシート接合部40の面積率が高く、したがって伸長応力が弱く、柔軟に伸縮する領域となっている。さらに、図示例では、前身頃Fにおける内装体10と重なる部分の幅方向WD中間の領域84は、それ以外の領域と比べてシート接合部40の面積率がさらに高く、伸長応力がさらに弱く、弾性限界伸びもさらに小さい領域となっている。   As described above, since the elastic limit elongation and the extension stress of the stretchable region 80 can be adjusted by the area of the sheet joint portion 40, a plurality of regions having different area ratios of the sheet joint portion 40 in the stretchable region 80 as shown in FIG. The fitting property can be changed according to the part. In the form shown in FIG. 15, the area 81 extending in the oblique direction along the base of the leg in the front body F and the edge area 82 of the leg opening have a higher area ratio of the sheet joint portion 40 than the other areas. Therefore, the extensional stress is weak and the region expands and contracts flexibly. In addition, the iliac facing region 83 and the edge region 82 of the leg opening in the back body B also have a higher area ratio of the sheet joint portion 40 than the other regions, and therefore the extension stress is weak and the region expands and contracts flexibly. It has become. Furthermore, in the illustrated example, the area 84 in the width direction WD intermediate portion of the front body F that overlaps the interior body 10 has a higher area ratio of the sheet bonding portion 40 than the other areas, and the elongation stress is even weaker. The elastic limit elongation is also a smaller region.

(伸縮方向)
図示例では、前身頃F及び後身頃Bの各伸縮領域80は、弾性フィルム30を一層のみ含みかつ他の弾性部材を含まない単フィルム部分85を有している。図示例では、単フィルム部分85は伸縮領域80の全体にわたっているが、伸縮領域80の一部のみ一層の弾性フィルム30を有する構造となっていてもよい。そして、各単フィルム部分85は中間部L内から胴周り部T内にわたり延びているとともに、ウエスト開口側に位置し、伸縮方向EDが第1方向D1(幅方向WD)となる第1領域51と、第1領域51に対し第1方向D1と直交する方向に位置し、第1方向D1に対して斜め向きの(第2方向D2,D3)に伸縮する第2領域52,53とを有している。
(Stretch direction)
In the example of illustration, each expansion-contraction area | region 80 of the front body F and the back body B has the single film part 85 which contains only the elastic film 30 and does not contain another elastic member. In the illustrated example, the single film portion 85 extends over the entire stretchable region 80, but only a part of the stretchable region 80 may have a single-layer elastic film 30. Each single film portion 85 extends from the middle portion L to the waist portion T, is located on the waist opening side, and the first region 51 in which the expansion / contraction direction ED is the first direction D1 (width direction WD). And second regions 52 and 53 that are located in a direction perpendicular to the first direction D1 with respect to the first region 51 and extend and contract in an oblique direction (second directions D2 and D3) with respect to the first direction D1. doing.

また、図2に示す例の各単フィルム部分85は、第2領域として、第1領域51に隣接し、伸縮方向EDが幅方向中央に向かって斜め上向きD3の領域53と、それよりも前後方向中央側に位置し、伸縮方向EDが幅方向中央に向かって斜め下向きD2の、脚の付け根に沿う部分を含む領域52とを有しており、これらの第2領域52,53の間には、伸縮力が非常に弱い弱伸縮領域54が介在している。一方、図15に示す例では、第2領域は、伸縮方向EDが幅方向中央に向かって斜め下向きD2の、脚の付け根に沿う部分を含む領域52のみとなっている。いずれにせよ、これらの例では、単フィルム部分85により、装着者の脚の付け根に沿う部分では幅方向中央に向かって斜め下向きD2に収縮力が発現し、それよりもウエスト開口側には幅方向WDに収縮力が発現する部分を有するため、脚の付け根及び胴周りのそれぞれに対するフィット性が良好となる。なお、図2に示す例と図15に示す例との違いは、後述する製造方法の違いを想定したものである。   Further, each single film portion 85 in the example shown in FIG. 2 is adjacent to the first region 51 as the second region, and the region 53 in which the expansion / contraction direction ED is obliquely upward D3 toward the center in the width direction, and the front and rear thereof. And a region 52 including a portion along the base of the leg in which the expansion / contraction direction ED is obliquely downward D2 toward the center in the width direction, and between these second regions 52 and 53. Is interspersed with a weakly stretchable region 54 having a very weak stretch force. On the other hand, in the example shown in FIG. 15, the second region is only a region 52 including a portion along the base of the leg, with the expansion / contraction direction ED obliquely downward D2 toward the center in the width direction. In any case, in these examples, due to the single film portion 85, a contraction force appears diagonally downward D2 toward the center in the width direction in the portion along the base of the wearer's leg, and the width is closer to the waist opening side than that. Since it has a portion where contraction force is expressed in the direction WD, the fitting property to each of the base of the leg and the circumference of the trunk becomes good. The difference between the example shown in FIG. 2 and the example shown in FIG. 15 is based on the difference in the manufacturing method described later.

第1領域51の位置は特に限定されるものではないが、前後方向LDにおいて、胴周り部Tの単フィルム部分85における、少なくともウエスト開口側の端部を含んでいることが好ましく、胴周り部Tの前後方向中央よりウエスト開口側の全体を含んでいるとより好ましい。また、第1領域51は、幅方向WDの一部にのみ設けられていてもよいが、胴周り部Tの幅方向全体にわたり延びていると好ましい。   The position of the first region 51 is not particularly limited, but preferably includes at least the end on the waist opening side in the single film portion 85 of the waistline portion T in the front-rear direction LD. It is more preferable that the entire waist opening side is included from the center in the front-rear direction of T. Moreover, although the 1st area | region 51 may be provided only in a part of width direction WD, it is preferable if it extends over the whole width direction of the trunk periphery part T. FIG.

第2領域52,53の位置は、装着者の脚の付け根に沿う部分を含む限り適宜定めることができるが、前後方向LDにおいては、単フィルム部分85のうち、胴周り部Tの脚開口側の端部から中間部Lにかけての部分に設けられていることが好ましい。また、幅方向WDにおいては少なくとも内装体10の両側縁よりも幅方向両側の部分に設けられていることが好ましく、幅方向全体にわたり設けることもできるが、内装体10と重なる部分には後述する非伸縮領域70を設けることもできる。   The positions of the second regions 52 and 53 can be appropriately determined as long as they include a portion along the base of the wearer's leg, but in the front-and-rear direction LD, the leg opening side of the waistline portion T in the single film portion 85. It is preferable that it is provided in the part from the edge part to the intermediate part L. Further, in the width direction WD, it is preferably provided at least on both sides in the width direction rather than on both side edges of the interior body 10, and may be provided over the entire width direction, but a portion overlapping the interior body 10 will be described later. A non-stretchable region 70 can also be provided.

図15に示す例の弾性フィルム伸縮構造20Xは、例えば図20及び図21に示す方法により製造することができる。すなわち、外装体20の製造工程で、図20に示す例のように、弾性フィルム30をMD方向に連続的に供給するとともに、その表裏両側に第1シート層20A及び第2シート層20BをそれぞれMD方向に連続的に供給し、弾性フィルム30をMD方向に伸長しつつ第1シート層20A及び第2シート層20Bの間に挟んだ状態で、間隔を空けた多数箇所で、弾性フィルム30を貫通して又は弾性フィルム30を介して第1シート層20A及び第2シート層20Bを接合することにより、前身頃Fの外装体20となる部分及び後身頃Bの外装体20となる部分を一体的に形成する。   The elastic film elastic structure 20X of the example shown in FIG. 15 can be manufactured by the method shown in FIGS. 20 and 21, for example. That is, in the manufacturing process of the exterior body 20, as in the example shown in FIG. 20, the elastic film 30 is continuously supplied in the MD direction, and the first sheet layer 20 </ b> A and the second sheet layer 20 </ b> B are respectively provided on the front and back sides. The elastic film 30 is continuously supplied in the MD direction, and the elastic film 30 is stretched in the MD direction and is sandwiched between the first sheet layer 20A and the second sheet layer 20B, and the elastic film 30 is formed at a plurality of spaced positions. By joining the first sheet layer 20 </ b> A and the second sheet layer 20 </ b> B through or through the elastic film 30, the part that becomes the exterior body 20 of the front body F and the part that becomes the exterior body 20 of the back body B are integrated. Form.

特徴的には、この外装体20の製造工程で、弾性フィルム30として、少なくとも前身頃Fの胴周り部Tとなる部分内から後身頃Bの胴周り部Tとなる部分内にわたる単一の弾性フィルム30を供給する。また、第1シート層20A及び第2シート層20Bを接合するのに先立ち、図21に示すように、弾性フィルム30におけるCD方向の中間の領域のうち、個々のパンツタイプ使い捨ておむつの股間部となる部分を含む部位に、CD方向の寸法が50mm以上のスリット35を順次形成するとともに、このスリット35よりもCD方向の両側にMD方向に連続する連続部分36を残しておく。そして、このスリット35と連続部分36とを有する弾性フィルム30をMD方向に伸長した状態で、第1シート層20A及び第2シート層20Bの接合を行う。   Characteristically, in the manufacturing process of the exterior body 20, as the elastic film 30, at least a single elasticity extending from within a portion that becomes the waist circumference portion T of the front body F to within a portion that becomes the waist circumference portion T of the back body B. A film 30 is supplied. Prior to joining the first sheet layer 20A and the second sheet layer 20B, as shown in FIG. 21, the crotch part of each pant-type disposable diaper in the middle region in the CD direction of the elastic film 30 A slit 35 having a CD direction dimension of 50 mm or more is sequentially formed in a portion including the portion to be formed, and a continuous portion 36 continuous in the MD direction is left on both sides of the CD direction with respect to the slit 35. And the 1st sheet layer 20A and the 2nd sheet layer 20B are joined in the state where the elastic film 30 which has this slit 35 and continuous part 36 was extended in the MD direction.

第1シート層20A及び第2シート層20Bを接合するのに先立ち、弾性フィルム30におけるCD方向の中間に、CD方向の長さが50mm以上のスリット35を形成しておくと、スリット35を形成した弾性フィルム30をMD方向に伸長したとき、図22に白抜き矢印で示すように、スリット35がMD方向に拡大しつつCD方向に縮小する。これに伴い、連続部分36のうちスリット35のCD方向の端部に隣接する部分は、スリット35のCD方向の中央側に引っ張られ、連続部分36には、引っ張りの影響を受けずMD方向(第1方向D1)に伸長した部分と、引っ張りの影響により伸長方向がスリット35のCD方向の端部に向かう斜め方向(第2方向D2)に変化した部分とが形成される。よって、この状態で、第1シート層20A及び第2シート層20Bを接合した後、伸長力を開放すると、接合時に斜め方向に伸長した部分は、脚の付け根に沿う部分を含み、かつ幅方向WD中央に向かって斜め下向きの方向に伸縮する第2領域52,53となり、これよりもウエスト開口側は、接合時にMD方向に伸長した部分はMD方向(つまり図15に示す例の幅方向WD)に伸縮する第1領域51となる。   Prior to joining the first sheet layer 20A and the second sheet layer 20B, if a slit 35 having a length in the CD direction of 50 mm or more is formed in the middle of the CD direction in the elastic film 30, the slit 35 is formed. When the elastic film 30 is stretched in the MD direction, the slit 35 is contracted in the CD direction while expanding in the MD direction, as indicated by white arrows in FIG. Accordingly, the portion of the continuous portion 36 adjacent to the end portion of the slit 35 in the CD direction is pulled toward the center side of the slit 35 in the CD direction, and the continuous portion 36 is not affected by the tensile force in the MD direction ( A portion that extends in the first direction D1) and a portion in which the extension direction changes in an oblique direction (second direction D2) toward the end of the slit 35 in the CD direction due to the influence of the tension are formed. Therefore, in this state, after joining the first sheet layer 20A and the second sheet layer 20B, when the extension force is released, the part extending in the oblique direction at the time of joining includes the part along the base of the leg, and the width direction The second regions 52 and 53 expand and contract in a diagonally downward direction toward the center of the WD, and on the waist opening side, the portion extending in the MD direction at the time of joining is the MD direction (that is, the width direction WD in the example shown in FIG. 15). ) Becomes the first region 51 that expands and contracts.

その他は、公知の製造方法の工程を採用できる。例えば、図24に示すように、外装体20の製造工程により一体的に形成した外装体20となる部分200を、脚開口LOとなる部分を切除した後、又は図25に示すように前身頃Fの外装体20となる部分201及び後身頃Bの外装体20となる部分202に分割した後、使い捨て着用物品の展開状態と同様の配置で、かつ使い捨て着用物品の幅方向WDがMD方向となるように搬送しつつ、MD方向に間隔を空けて、内装体10の製造工程で別途製造した内装体10を組み付けることによって、個々の使い捨て着用物品となる部分が展開状態でMD方向に連続する内装組み付け体を形成する(内装体10の取付工程)。その後、内装組み付け体をCD方向に二つ折りした後、個々の使い捨て着用物品の両側部となる部位で前身頃Fの外装体20となる部分201及び後身頃Bの外装体20となる部分202を接合してサイドシール部21を形成するとともに、個々の使い捨て着用物品の境界において前身頃Fの外装体20となる部分及び後身頃Bの外装体20となる部分を切断し(サイドシール・切り離し工程)、個々のパンツタイプ使い捨ておむつを製造することができる。   In addition, the process of a well-known manufacturing method is employable. For example, as shown in FIG. 24, after the portion 200 that becomes the exterior body 20 formed integrally by the manufacturing process of the exterior body 20 is cut out from the portion that becomes the leg opening LO, or as shown in FIG. After dividing into the part 201 to be the outer body 20 of the F and the part 202 to be the outer body 20 of the back body B, the width direction WD of the disposable wearing article is the MD direction in the same arrangement as the deployed state of the disposable wearing article. By assembling the interior body 10 that is separately manufactured in the manufacturing process of the interior body 10 while being transported so as to be spaced apart in the MD direction, the parts that become individual disposable wearing articles are continuous in the MD direction in the unfolded state. An interior assembly is formed (attachment process of interior body 10). Thereafter, the interior assembly is folded in two in the CD direction, and then a portion 201 that becomes the exterior body 20 of the front body F and a portion 202 that becomes the exterior body 20 of the back body B at the portions that are both sides of each disposable wearing article. Joining and forming the side seal part 21, cut | disconnect the part used as the exterior body 20 of the front body F, and the part used as the exterior body 20 of the back body B in the boundary of each disposable wearing article (side seal and isolation | separation process) ), Individual pants-type disposable diapers can be manufactured.

他方、図2に示す例の弾性フィルム伸縮構造20Xは、例えば図20及び図23に示す方法により製造することができる。すなわち、外装体20の製造工程で、第1シート層20A及び第2シート層20Bを接合するのに先立ち、図23に示すように、弾性フィルム30におけるCD方向の中間の領域のうち、前身頃Fの両側縁及び後身頃Bの両側縁となる第1部位P1、及び個々のパンツタイプ使い捨ておむつの股間部となる部分を含む第2部位P2に、CD方向の寸法が50mm以上のスリット35をそれぞれ形成する。この際、CD方向において第1部位P1よりも外側にMD方向に連続する第1連続部分36Aを残し、かつCD方向において第1部位P1と第2部位との間にMD方向に連続する第2連続部分36Bを残しておく。そして、このスリット35と第1連続部分36A及び第2連続部分36Bとを有する弾性フィルム30をMD方向に伸長した状態で、第1シート層20A及び第2シート層20Bの接合を行う。   On the other hand, the elastic film elastic structure 20X of the example shown in FIG. 2 can be manufactured by the method shown in FIGS. 20 and 23, for example. That is, in the manufacturing process of the exterior body 20, prior to joining the first sheet layer 20A and the second sheet layer 20B, as shown in FIG. A slit 35 having a dimension in the CD direction of 50 mm or more is formed in the first part P1 which becomes both side edges of F and the both sides of the back body B, and the second part P2 including the part which becomes the crotch part of each pant-type disposable diaper. Form each one. At this time, a second continuous portion 36A that continues in the MD direction is left outside the first portion P1 in the CD direction, and is continuous in the MD direction between the first portion P1 and the second portion in the CD direction. The continuous portion 36B is left. And the 1st sheet layer 20A and the 2nd sheet layer 20B are joined in the state where the elastic film 30 which has this slit 35, the 1st continuous part 36A, and the 2nd continuous part 36B was extended in the MD direction.

このように第1部位P1及び第2部位P2にスリット35を形成し、第1連続部分36A及び第2連続部分36Bを残した弾性フィルム30をMD方向に伸長すると、図22に示すように、スリット35がMD方向に拡大しつつCD方向に縮小する。この点では前述の図21に示す例と同様である。ただし、図23に示す例では、スリット35がMD方向及びCD方向に間隔を空けて互い違いに配置されており、第1連続部分36A及び第2連続部分36Bが残されている。この結果、スリット35がMD方向に拡大しつつCD方向に縮小するのに伴い、第1連続部分36Aのうちスリット35のCD方向の端部に隣接する部分は、スリット35のCD方向の中央側に引っ張られ、第1連続部分36Aには、引っ張りの影響を受けずMD方向(第1方向D1)に伸長した部分と、引っ張りの影響により伸長方向がスリット35のCD方向の端部に向かう斜め方向(第2方向D3)に変化した部分とが形成される。   In this way, when the slit 35 is formed in the first part P1 and the second part P2, and the elastic film 30 leaving the first continuous part 36A and the second continuous part 36B is extended in the MD direction, as shown in FIG. The slit 35 is reduced in the CD direction while expanding in the MD direction. This is the same as the example shown in FIG. However, in the example shown in FIG. 23, the slits 35 are alternately arranged with an interval in the MD direction and the CD direction, and the first continuous portion 36A and the second continuous portion 36B remain. As a result, as the slit 35 expands in the MD direction and contracts in the CD direction, the portion of the first continuous portion 36A adjacent to the end of the slit 35 in the CD direction is the center side of the slit 35 in the CD direction. The first continuous portion 36A has a portion extending in the MD direction (first direction D1) without being affected by the tension, and an oblique direction in which the extending direction is directed toward the end of the slit 35 in the CD direction due to the influence of the tension. A portion changed in the direction (second direction D3) is formed.

一方、第2連続部分36Bでは、第2連続部分36Bを挟んで一方側に位置するスリット35の端部に隣接する部分と、他方側に位置するスリット35の端部に隣接する部分とが、互いに離間するようにCD方向に反対向きに引っ張られる。この結果、第2連続部分36Bのうち、第2連続部分36Bを挟んで一方側に位置するスリット35の端部と他方側に位置するスリット35の端部との間の部分は、第2連続部分36Bを挟んで一方側に位置するスリット35の端部と他方側に位置するスリット35の端部とを結ぶ斜め方向(第2方向D2)に伸長した状態となる。つまり、第2連続部分36Bにおける斜め方向の伸長部分には、二つのスリット35の変形による反対向きの引張力が作用するため、一つのスリット35の変形による引張力が作用する第1連続部分36Aにおける斜め方向の伸長部分よりも、伸長方向の傾斜が深くなる。   On the other hand, in the second continuous portion 36B, a portion adjacent to the end of the slit 35 located on one side across the second continuous portion 36B and a portion adjacent to the end of the slit 35 located on the other side are: They are pulled away from each other in the CD direction. As a result, in the second continuous portion 36B, the portion between the end portion of the slit 35 located on one side and the end portion of the slit 35 located on the other side across the second continuous portion 36B is the second continuous portion. It will be in the state extended in the diagonal direction (2nd direction D2) which connects the edge part of the slit 35 located in one side, and the edge part of the slit 35 located in the other side on both sides of the part 36B. That is, since the tensile force in the opposite direction due to the deformation of the two slits 35 acts on the obliquely extended portion of the second continuous portion 36B, the first continuous portion 36A where the tensile force due to the deformation of one slit 35 acts. The inclination in the extension direction becomes deeper than the extension part in the oblique direction.

そして、この状態で、第1シート層20A及び第2シート層20Bを接合した後、伸長力を開放すると、図2に示す例のように、第1部位P1(前身頃Fの両側縁及び後身頃Bの両側縁)のスリット35に対応する前後方向LD範囲は伸縮力が非常に弱い弱伸縮領域54となり、この弱伸縮領域54の上下両側にそれぞれ隣接する、接合時に斜め方向に伸長した部分は斜め方向に伸縮する第2領域52,53となり、第2領域52,53のウエスト開口側に隣接する、接合時にMD方向に伸長した部分はMD方向に伸縮する第1領域51となる。そして、弱伸縮領域54よりも前後方向LD中央側の第2領域52は脚の付け根に沿う部分を含み、伸縮方向EDが幅方向WD中央に向かって斜め下向きとなり、弱伸縮領域54よりもウエスト開口側の第2領域53は、伸縮方向EDが幅方向WD中央に向かって斜め上向きとなる。なお、第2部位P2のスリット35に対応する前後方向LD範囲は、図示例では脚開口を形成するために切断され、製品にはほとんど残らないが、残る場合には弱伸縮領域54となる。その他は、公知の製造方法の工程、例えば図24又は図25に示す例の工程を採用できる。   In this state, after joining the first sheet layer 20A and the second sheet layer 20B, when the extension force is released, as shown in the example shown in FIG. The front-rear LD range corresponding to the slits 35 on both sides of the body B is a weakly stretchable region 54 with very weak stretch force, and is adjacent to the top and bottom sides of this weakly stretchable region 54 and extends obliquely at the time of joining. Becomes the second regions 52 and 53 that expand and contract in the oblique direction, and the portion that extends adjacent to the waist opening side of the second regions 52 and 53 and extends in the MD direction at the time of joining becomes the first region 51 that expands and contracts in the MD direction. The second region 52 at the center in the front-rear direction LD with respect to the weakly stretchable region 54 includes a portion along the base of the leg, the stretchable direction ED is obliquely downward toward the center of the width direction WD, and the waist is lower than the weakly stretchable region 54. In the second region 53 on the opening side, the expansion / contraction direction ED is obliquely upward toward the center of the width direction WD. Note that the front-rear direction LD range corresponding to the slit 35 of the second part P2 is cut to form a leg opening in the illustrated example, and hardly remains in the product, but if it remains, it becomes a weakly stretchable region 54. In addition, the process of a well-known manufacturing method, for example, the process of the example shown in FIG. 24 or FIG. 25, is employable.

なお、これらの製造方法において、スリット35とは、自然長でほとんど開口しない切込みを意味するものであるが、スリット35に代えて、CD方向寸法よりもMD方向寸法が短い(例えば半分以外)の孔を設けてもよい。スリット35又は孔のCD方向寸法は50mm以上であれば適宜定めることができるが、通常の場合50〜400mm、特に80〜320mmであると好ましい。また、スリット35は、弾性フィルム30における個々のパンツタイプ使い捨ておむつの中間部Lとなる領域内に位置していることが好ましいが、前身頃Fの胴周り部Tとなる領域及び後身頃Bの胴周り部Tとなる領域の少なくとも一方までCD方向に延びていてもよい。   In these manufacturing methods, the slit 35 means a cut that is a natural length and hardly opens, but instead of the slit 35, the MD direction dimension is shorter than the CD direction dimension (for example, other than half). A hole may be provided. The CD direction dimension of the slit 35 or the hole can be appropriately determined as long as it is 50 mm or more, but is usually 50 to 400 mm, particularly preferably 80 to 320 mm. Moreover, although it is preferable that the slit 35 is located in the area | region used as the intermediate part L of each underpants type disposable diaper in the elastic film 30, the area | region used as the waist part T of the front body F, and the back body B You may extend to the CD direction to at least one of the area | region used as the trunk periphery part T. FIG.

(非伸縮領域)
図2に示す例は、弾性フィルム30伸縮構造20Xの全体を伸縮領域80とし、非伸縮領域を有しないものであるが、弾性フィルム伸縮構造20Xを有する領域には、図15に示すように非伸縮領域70を設けることができる。伸縮領域80及び非伸縮領域70の配置は適宜定めることができる。本実施形態のようなパンツタイプ使い捨ておむつの外装体20の場合、吸収体13と重なる部分は伸縮が不要な領域であるため、図示形態のように、吸収体13と重なる部分の一部又は全部(内外固定領域10Bのほぼ全体を含むことが望ましい)を非伸縮領域70とするのは好ましい。もちろん、吸収体13と重なる領域からその幅方向WD又は前後方向LDに位置する吸収体13と重ならない領域にかけて非伸縮領域70を設けることもでき、吸収体13と重ならない領域にのみ非伸縮領域70を設けることもできる。
(Non-stretchable area)
In the example shown in FIG. 2, the entire elastic film 30 stretchable structure 20 </ b> X is the stretchable region 80 and does not have a non-stretchable region, but the region having the elastic film stretchable structure 20 </ b> X has a non-stretchable region as shown in FIG. 15. A stretchable region 70 can be provided. The arrangement of the stretchable region 80 and the non-stretchable region 70 can be determined as appropriate. In the case of the exterior body 20 of the pants-type disposable diaper as in the present embodiment, the portion overlapping the absorber 13 is an area that does not need to be expanded and contracted, and therefore, part or all of the portion overlapping the absorber 13 as illustrated. It is preferable to make the non-stretchable region 70 (desirably including almost the entire inner and outer fixed region 10B). Of course, the non-stretchable region 70 can be provided from the region overlapping with the absorber 13 to the region not overlapping with the absorber 13 positioned in the width direction WD or the front-rear direction LD, and the non-stretchable region only in the region not overlapping with the absorber 13. 70 can also be provided.

非伸縮領域70は、弾性フィルム30は連続するものの、貫通孔31の存在により製造時の伸長方向に沿って直線的に連続する部分を有しない領域とすることができる。したがって、伸縮領域80と同様にして、伸縮領域80及び非伸縮領域70の両者を含む弾性フィルム伸縮構造20X全体を形成するとしても、図11に示すように、非伸縮領域70では、弾性フィルム30が製造時の伸長方向(図11の例では幅方向WD)に沿って直線的に連続しないため、弾性フィルム30の収縮力が第1シート層20A及び第2シート層20Bにほとんど作用せず、伸縮性がほぼ消失し、弾性限界伸びは100%に近くなるのである。そしてこのような非伸縮領域70では、第1シート層20A及び第2シート層20Bが間隔を空けて配列された多数のシート接合部40で接合されており、シート接合部40が連続的とならないため、柔軟性の低下は防止される。換言すれば、弾性フィルム30が製造時の伸長方向に沿って直線的に連続しない部分の有無により伸縮領域80及び非伸縮領域70を形成することができる。また、非伸縮領域70でも弾性フィルム30の連続性が残っており、図12からも分かるように、弾性フィルム30の独立切断片が残ることもなく、また皺も形成されないため、極めて見栄えが良く、かつ貫通孔31による厚み方向の通気性が確保される。非伸縮領域70は、伸縮方向EDの弾性限界伸びが120%以下であればよいが、110%以下であることが好ましく、100%であると特に好ましい。   Although the elastic film 30 is continuous, the non-stretchable region 70 can be a region that does not have a linearly continuous portion along the extending direction during manufacturing due to the presence of the through-hole 31. Therefore, even if the entire elastic film stretchable structure 20X including both the stretchable region 80 and the non-stretchable region 70 is formed in the same manner as the stretchable region 80, as shown in FIG. However, the shrinkage force of the elastic film 30 hardly acts on the first sheet layer 20A and the second sheet layer 20B because it does not continue linearly along the extending direction during manufacture (width direction WD in the example of FIG. 11). Elasticity almost disappears and elastic limit elongation becomes close to 100%. In such a non-stretchable region 70, the first sheet layer 20 </ b> A and the second sheet layer 20 </ b> B are joined by a large number of sheet joining portions 40 arranged at intervals, and the sheet joining portion 40 is not continuous. Therefore, a decrease in flexibility is prevented. In other words, the stretchable region 80 and the non-stretchable region 70 can be formed depending on the presence or absence of a portion where the elastic film 30 does not continue linearly along the extending direction during manufacture. In addition, the continuity of the elastic film 30 remains even in the non-stretchable region 70. As can be seen from FIG. 12, the independent cut piece of the elastic film 30 does not remain and no wrinkles are formed. And the air permeability of the thickness direction by the through-hole 31 is ensured. The non-stretchable region 70 may have an elastic limit elongation in the stretch direction ED of 120% or less, preferably 110% or less, and particularly preferably 100%.

非伸縮領域70における弾性フィルム30における貫通孔31の配列パターンは適宜定めることができるが、図11に示すように千鳥状配置とし、貫通孔31の直交方向XDの中心間隔31eが貫通孔31の直交方向XDの長さ31yより短いパターンとすると、弾性フィルム30の連続性を維持しつつ伸縮方向EDの直線連続性をほぼ完全に無くすことができ、見栄えも図12に示すように好ましいものとなる。この場合、貫通孔31の伸縮方向EDの中心間隔31fが貫通孔31の伸縮方向EDの長さ31xより短いことがより好ましい。   Although the arrangement pattern of the through holes 31 in the elastic film 30 in the non-stretchable region 70 can be determined as appropriate, it is arranged in a staggered manner as shown in FIG. When the pattern is shorter than the length 31y in the orthogonal direction XD, the linear continuity in the expansion / contraction direction ED can be almost completely eliminated while maintaining the continuity of the elastic film 30, and the appearance is preferable as shown in FIG. Become. In this case, the center interval 31f in the expansion / contraction direction ED of the through hole 31 is more preferably shorter than the length 31x of the through hole 31 in the expansion / contraction direction ED.

通常の場合、中でも弾性フィルム30を伸縮方向EDに4倍に伸長したときの伸長応力が4〜12N/35mmのものである場合、非伸縮領域70を伸縮方向EDに弾性限界まで伸ばした状態で、貫通孔31の直交方向XDの中心間隔31eが0.4〜2.7mm、かつ貫通孔31の直交方向XDの長さ31yが0.5〜3.0mm、特に0.7〜1.1mmであると好ましい。また、貫通孔31の伸縮方向EDの中心間隔31fが、貫通孔31の直交方向XDの長さ31yの0.5〜2倍、特に1〜1.2倍であると好ましく、貫通孔31の伸縮方向EDの長さ31xが、貫通孔31の伸縮方向EDの中心間隔31fの1.1〜1.8倍、特に1.1〜1.4倍であると好ましい。なお、非伸縮領域70を伸縮方向EDに弾性限界まで伸ばした状態(換言すれば第1シート層20A及び第2シート層20Bが完全に展開した状態)では、貫通孔31の伸縮方向EDの中心間隔31fはシート接合部40の伸縮方向EDの中心間隔40fに等しく、貫通孔31の直交方向XDの中心間隔31eはシート接合部40の直交方向XDの中心間隔40eに等しく、貫通孔31の直交方向XDの長さ31yはシート接合部40の直交方向XDの長さ40yに等しい。   In a normal case, in particular, when the elongation stress when the elastic film 30 is stretched four times in the stretching direction ED is 4 to 12 N / 35 mm, the non-stretchable region 70 is stretched to the elastic limit in the stretching direction ED. The center interval 31e in the orthogonal direction XD of the through holes 31 is 0.4 to 2.7 mm, and the length 31y in the orthogonal direction XD of the through holes 31 is 0.5 to 3.0 mm, particularly 0.7 to 1.1 mm. Is preferable. The center interval 31f in the expansion / contraction direction ED of the through hole 31 is preferably 0.5 to 2 times, particularly 1 to 1.2 times the length 31y of the through hole 31 in the orthogonal direction XD. The length 31x in the expansion / contraction direction ED is 1.1 to 1.8 times, particularly 1.1 to 1.4 times the center interval 31f of the through hole 31 in the expansion / contraction direction ED. In the state where the non-expandable region 70 is extended to the elastic limit in the expansion / contraction direction ED (in other words, the state where the first sheet layer 20A and the second sheet layer 20B are completely expanded), the center of the through hole 31 in the expansion / contraction direction ED. The interval 31 f is equal to the center interval 40 f in the expansion / contraction direction ED of the sheet bonding portion 40, the center interval 31 e in the orthogonal direction XD of the through hole 31 is equal to the center interval 40 e in the orthogonal direction XD of the sheet bonding portion 40, and is orthogonal to the through hole 31. The length 31y in the direction XD is equal to the length 40y in the orthogonal direction XD of the sheet bonding portion 40.

非伸縮領域70では、シート接合部40における第1シート層20A及び第2シート層20Bの間以外では、第1シート層20A及び第2シート層20Bと弾性フィルム30とが接合されておらず、かつ自然長の状態でシート接合部40の伸縮方向EDの両側に弾性フィルム30の貫通孔31の周縁及びシート接合部40が離間されて形成された隙間を有していると、弾性フィルム30の素材が無孔のフィルムやシートであっても、この隙間により常に通気性が付加されるため好ましい。前述の貫通孔31及びシート接合部40の同時形成手法を採用する場合には、シート接合部40の形状等に関係なく、自然にこの状態になる。   In the non-stretchable region 70, the first sheet layer 20A and the second sheet layer 20B and the elastic film 30 are not joined except for the portion between the first sheet layer 20A and the second sheet layer 20B in the sheet joining portion 40, And when it has the clearance gap formed by the periphery of the through-hole 31 of the elastic film 30 and the sheet | seat junction part 40 being spaced apart in the both sides of the expansion-contraction direction ED of the sheet | seat junction part 40 in the natural length state, Even if the material is a non-porous film or sheet, air permeability is always added by this gap, which is preferable. In the case where the above-described simultaneous formation method of the through hole 31 and the sheet joint portion 40 is adopted, this state naturally occurs regardless of the shape or the like of the sheet joint portion 40.

個々のシート接合部40及び貫通孔31の自然長状態での形状は、特に限定されないが、柔軟性の観点からは面積が小さいことが望ましく、弾性フィルム30の幅方向WDの直線連続性をなくすためには、前後方向LDに長い形状であることが望ましいため、前後方向LDに長い楕円形、長方形(図11、図13(d)参照)、ひし形(図13(b)参照)、凸レンズ形(図13(a)参照)、凹レンズ形(図13(c)参照)とすることが好ましい。ただし、ひし形のように角が鋭角であると、弾性フィルム30が破断しやすい。これに対して、凸レンズ形はシート接合部40の溶着が安定するため好ましく、凹レンズ形は面積をより小さくできる点で好ましい。   Although the shape in the natural length state of each sheet | seat junction part 40 and the through-hole 31 is not specifically limited, It is desirable that an area is small from a softness | flexibility viewpoint, and eliminates the linear continuity of the width direction WD of the elastic film 30. For this purpose, since it is desirable to have a shape that is long in the front-rear direction LD, an ellipse that is long in the front-rear direction LD, a rectangle (see FIGS. 11 and 13D), a rhombus (see FIG. 13B), and a convex lens shape. It is preferable to use a concave lens shape (see FIG. 13C) (see FIG. 13A). However, if the corner is an acute angle like a diamond, the elastic film 30 is easily broken. On the other hand, the convex lens shape is preferable because the welding of the sheet joining portion 40 is stable, and the concave lens shape is preferable in that the area can be further reduced.

非伸縮領域におけるシート接合部40の面積率及び個々のシート接合部40の面積は適宜定めることができるが、通常の場合、次の範囲内とすると、各シート接合部40の面積が小さくかつシート接合部40の面積率が低いことにより非伸縮領域70が硬くならないため好ましい。
シート接合部40の面積:0.10〜0.75mm2(特に0.10〜0.35mm2
シート接合部40の面積率:4〜13%(特に5〜10%)
Although the area ratio of the sheet joint portion 40 and the area of each sheet joint portion 40 in the non-stretchable region can be determined as appropriate, in the normal case, if within the following range, the area of each sheet joint portion 40 is small and the sheet It is preferable because the non-stretchable region 70 does not become hard because the area ratio of the joint portion 40 is low.
Area of sheet joint 40: 0.10 to 0.75 mm 2 (particularly 0.10 to 0.35 mm 2 )
Area ratio of sheet joint 40: 4 to 13% (especially 5 to 10%)

このように、非伸縮領域70の弾性限界伸びは、貫通孔31の配列パターンや、個々の貫通孔31の寸法及び中心間隔により変化させることができる。よって、図示しないが、これらを伸縮領域80内の複数個所、又は複数の非伸縮領域70間で異ならしめることもできる。例えば、前身頃Fの非伸縮領域70における弾性限界伸びを後身頃Bの非伸縮領域70における弾性限界伸びよりも大きくするのは一つの好ましい形態である。   As described above, the elastic limit elongation of the non-stretchable region 70 can be changed by the arrangement pattern of the through holes 31, the dimensions of the individual through holes 31, and the center interval. Therefore, although not shown, these can be made different at a plurality of locations in the stretchable region 80 or between the plurality of non-stretchable regions 70. For example, it is one preferable mode to make the elastic limit elongation in the non-stretchable region 70 of the front body F larger than the elastic limit elongation in the non-stretchable region 70 of the rear body B.

非伸縮領域70は、伸縮領域と同様に伸縮方向EDに沿って直線的に連続する部分を有するものの、シート接合部の面積率が伸縮領域よりも高いことにより弾性限界伸びが著しく低く、具体的には130%以下とされている形態、従来の糸ゴムを用いる伸縮構造のように伸縮方向EDに一か所又は複数個所で切断する形態等、他の伸縮性を殺す形態を採用することもできる。   Although the non-stretchable region 70 has a portion that is linearly continuous along the stretch direction ED like the stretchable region, the elastic limit elongation is remarkably low because the area ratio of the sheet joint is higher than that of the stretchable region. It is also possible to adopt a form that kills other stretchability, such as a form that is 130% or less, a form that is cut in one or more places in the stretch direction ED, such as a stretch structure using a conventional rubber thread it can.

(その他)
上述の伸縮構造20Xは、パンツタイプ使い捨ておむつだけでなく、テープタイプ使い捨ておむつの胴周りや連結テープ、吸収性物品全般に汎用されている立体ギャザー、平面ギャザー等、他の伸縮部、及びそれらの製造方法にも適用することができる。この場合において、第1方向、第2方向、第1領域及び第2領域の位置、スリット又は孔の位置は、フィット性等を考慮して適宜定めることができる。
(Other)
The stretchable structure 20X described above is not only a pants-type disposable diaper, but also other stretchable parts such as a three-dimensional gather, a flat gather, etc., which are widely used in the absorbent article, and around the trunk of a tape-type disposable diaper. It can also be applied to a manufacturing method. In this case, the first direction, the second direction, the positions of the first region and the second region, and the positions of the slits or holes can be determined as appropriate in consideration of fit properties and the like.

例えば、テープタイプ使い捨ておむつは、図26に示すように、後身頃Bの両側部から延び出た連結テープ100を有し、連結テープ100は前身頃Fに着脱可能に連結される連結部101を有しているものである。このようなテープタイプ使い捨ておむつにおいては、例えば、後身頃Bの幅方向中間に単フィルム部分85を有する伸縮領域80を設け、この単フィルム部分85における上下方向中間より上側に、伸縮方向EDが幅方向WDとなる第1領域51を設け、それより下側に、伸縮方向EDが幅方向WD両側に向かって斜め上向きとなる第2領域52を設けることができる。   For example, as shown in FIG. 26, the tape-type disposable diaper has a connecting tape 100 extending from both sides of the back body B, and the connecting tape 100 has a connecting part 101 that is detachably connected to the front body F. It is what you have. In such a tape-type disposable diaper, for example, an expansion / contraction region 80 having a single film portion 85 is provided in the middle in the width direction of the back body B, and the expansion / contraction direction ED has a width above the middle in the vertical direction in the single film portion 85. A first region 51 in the direction WD can be provided, and a second region 52 in which the expansion / contraction direction ED is obliquely upward toward both sides of the width direction WD can be provided below the first region 51.

また、連結テープ100に単フィルム部分85を有する伸縮領域80を設け、連結テープ100における上下方向中間より上側に、伸縮方向EDが幅方向WDとなる第1領域51を設け、それより下側に、伸縮方向EDが連結テープ100の先端側に向かって斜め上向きとなる第2領域52を設けてもよい。連結テープ100の下側は脚開口となり、連結テープ100の伸縮により脚開口の変形が可能となるため、後者のように連結テープ100に第1領域51及び第2領域52を設けることにより、連結テープ100が脚周りの方向により近い方向に伸縮できるため、脚周りのフィット性に優れたものとなる。また、幅方向WDの伸縮性を有する第1領域51により胴周り方向のフィット性も確保される。図示例のように、第1領域及び第2領域の境界に沿うミシン目102により連結テープ100が上下に分割可能となっている(又は予め切断されている)のも好ましい。   Further, the connecting tape 100 is provided with an expansion / contraction region 80 having a single film portion 85, and a first region 51 in which the expansion / contraction direction ED is the width direction WD is provided above the middle of the connection tape 100 in the vertical direction, and below that. The second region 52 in which the expansion / contraction direction ED is obliquely upward toward the tip end side of the connecting tape 100 may be provided. The lower side of the connecting tape 100 is a leg opening, and the leg opening can be deformed by expansion and contraction of the connecting tape 100. Thus, by providing the first region 51 and the second region 52 in the connecting tape 100 as in the latter case, the connecting tape 100 is connected. Since the tape 100 can be expanded and contracted in a direction closer to the direction around the legs, the fit around the legs is excellent. In addition, the first region 51 having stretchability in the width direction WD ensures the fit in the waistline direction. As in the illustrated example, it is also preferable that the connecting tape 100 can be vertically divided (or cut in advance) by the perforation 102 along the boundary between the first region and the second region.

<Explanation of terms in the specification>
The following terms in the specification have the following meanings unless otherwise specified in the specification.
-"Front body" and "rear body" mean the front and rear portions of the pants-type disposable diaper in the front-rear direction center, respectively. Moreover, a crotch part means the front-back direction range containing the center of the front-back direction of a pants type disposable diaper, and when an absorber has a constriction part, it means the front-back direction range of the part which has the said constriction part.
・ "MD direction" and "CD direction" mean the flow direction (MD direction) in production equipment and the transverse direction (CD direction) perpendicular to this, and either one is the front-rear direction of the product. The other is the width direction of the product. The MD direction of the nonwoven fabric is the direction of fiber orientation of the nonwoven fabric. The fiber orientation is the direction along which the fibers of the nonwoven fabric are aligned. For example, the fiber orientation can be determined from the measurement method according to the TAPPI standard method T481, the fiber orientation test method using the zero-range tensile strength, It can be discriminated by a simple measuring method for determining the orientation direction.
-“Elastic limit elongation” means the elongation of the elastic limit in the expansion / contraction direction ED (in other words, the state in which the first sheet layer and the second sheet layer are completely expanded), and the length at the elastic limit is the natural length. Is expressed as a percentage with respect to 100%.
The “area ratio” means the ratio of the target portion to the unit area, and the target portion (for example, the sheet joint portion 40, the stretchable region 80, the non-stretchable region 70, the main stretchable portion, the buffer stretchable portion) in the target region. The total area of the through holes 31 and the vent holes is divided by the area of the target region and expressed as a percentage. In particular, the “area ratio” in the region having a stretchable structure is the elastic limit in the stretchable direction ED. It means the area ratio in the stretched state. In a form in which a large number of target portions are provided at intervals, it is desirable to set the target region to a size that includes 10 or more target portions and obtain the area ratio.
“Elongation rate” means a value when the natural length is 100%.
・ "Weight" is measured as follows. After the sample or test piece has been pre-dried, it is left in a test room or apparatus in a standard state (test location is temperature 23 ± 1 ° C., relative humidity 50 ± 2%) to a constant weight. Pre-drying refers to making a sample or test piece constant in an environment at a temperature of 100 ° C. In addition, it is not necessary to perform preliminary drying about the fiber whose official moisture content is 0.0%. From the test piece in a constant weight state, a sample plate (100 mm × 100 mm) is used to cut a sample having a size of 100 mm × 100 mm. Measure the weight of the sample, multiply it by 100 , calculate the weight per square meter , and use it as the basis weight.
・ "Thickness" of the absorber is a thickness measuring instrument (Peacock, dial thickness gauge large type, model JB (measurement range 0 to 35 mm) or model K-4 (measurement range 0 to 50 mm)) manufactured by Ozaki Mfg. Co., Ltd. Measure the sample and the thickness meter horizontally.
-"Thickness" other than the above is automatically measured using an automatic thickness measuring instrument (KES-G5 handy compression measurement program) under the conditions of load: 0.098 N / cm 2 and pressure area: 2 cm 2 .
