Definitions
- the present invention relates to a stretchable structure of an absorbent article that makes the touch in a natural length state more flexible, and a pants-type disposable diaper that employs the structure.
- a pants-type disposable diaper includes an exterior body having a front body and a back body, and an interior body including an absorbent body fixed to the inner surface of the exterior body, and the front body and the back body of the exterior body are on both sides. Are joined together to form a waist opening and a pair of left and right leg openings.
- elongated elastic elastic members such as rubber thread are fixed in a stretched state along the circumferential direction at various locations on the exterior body, A stretchable structure is formed, and in particular, a waist edge elastic elastic member along the width direction at the edge of the waist opening, and a waist lower part along the width direction on the crotch side than the waist edge elastic elastic member
- a thing provided with an elastic expansion-contraction member has a comparatively high fit with respect to a body, and is used widely.
- the tape-type disposable diaper is a crotch part, an abdominal part extending to the front side of the crotch part, a back side part extending to the rear side of the crotch part, and an absorber provided in a region including the crotch part And a fastening tape that protrudes from both sides of the back portion and a target tape that is located on the outer surface of the abdominal portion and to which the fastening tape is connected. It has a structure which is connected to the target tape by turning from both sides to the outer surface of the abdominal side.
- Such a tape-type disposable diaper is used not only for infants but also widely used for nursing care (adult use).
- tape-type disposable diapers are inferior in fit in the waistline direction compared to pants-type disposable diapers, so in order to improve this, slender shapes such as rubber thread along the width direction on the back side and fastening tape
- These elastic elastic members are fixed in an extended state to form an elastic structure in the trunk direction.
- the portion where the sheet joining portions 20 are aligned in the vertical direction is a continuous groove in the vertical direction, and the two sheet layers are the same in opposite directions (on both sides) on the portion between the grooves.
- the bulge 80 bulges to a degree to form a bellows-like structure as a whole.
- the heel 80 In a state where the heel 80 is stretched to some extent, the heel 80 has a shape swelled in the expansion / contraction direction.
- a thin heel is continuous in the direction perpendicular to the expansion / contraction direction, and the tip of the heel has a small radius of curvature.
- the material is bent to form a crease in the material, and the folds having the crease are in close proximity and aligned at the same height.
- the sheet joining portion 20 in FIG. 17 is assumed to be formed by welding the sheet layers 12H and 12S, the shape of the flange 80 is the same even if the sheet joining portion 20 is formed using an adhesive.
- the stretch structure of the above prior art is in a natural length state in which the two sheet layers are most contracted with the contraction of the elastic stretch member, the touch is hard, and the user feels hard when the product is held in the hand. There was a problem. Since the touch in the natural length state affects the user's product selection, improvement is strongly desired.
- a main problem of the present invention is to obtain a more flexible feel when a product in a natural length state is touched with a hand.
- the present invention that has solved the above problems is as follows.
- ⁇ Invention of Claim 1> Two sheet layers extending in the expansion / contraction direction and the orthogonal direction orthogonal thereto, and a plurality of elongated elastic expansion / contractions extending along the expansion / contraction direction, spaced between the sheet layers in the orthogonal direction. And having a member
- the elastic expansion / contraction member is a fixed end portion in which both end portions in the expansion / contraction direction are fixed to the two sheet layers, and between the fixed end portions is not fixed to the two sheet layers.
- the sheet joining portion is formed by joining the two sheet layers in a region between the free portions determined as a region between the free portions adjacent in the orthogonal direction
- the two sheet layers are wavy so as to be along each other.
- the two sheet layers in the region between the free parts are undulated.
- a wrinkle is formed on both the front and back surfaces.
- the two sheet layers are wavy, they bend more gently than the top of the conventional kite due to the increased rigidity due to the number of sheet layers and the difference in curvature between the two sheet layers (particularly natural).
- the touch is smooth and is easily crushed in the thickness direction, and the touch flexibility is improved.
- the two sheet layers form a gentle wave shape along each other, the wave crests and crests and the valleys and troughs are separated in the expansion and contraction direction, so that when the waves are collapsed in the thickness direction or collapsed, The effect of supporting mountains and valleys and valleys and valleys is weakened, and in this respect, it is considered that the touch becomes more flexible.
- a smooth material is picked from the front and back with fingers, it is easier to feel smoothness by picking two sheets of the same material rather than one. This is because the frictional resistance between the materials is lower than the frictional resistance between the fingers or between the fingers and the material, so that the frictional resistance can be felt low (smoothly) when picking up two sheets. . If the two sheet layers are along each other, it is considered that this slip feeling can be strongly felt.
- the elastic stretchable member since the elastic stretchable member has a high degree of freedom with respect to the two sheet layers, there is little loss of stretch force and even if the sheet layer has uneven rigidity (for example, when the sheet layer is a nonwoven fabric, Even if the fiber density is uneven, it can be naturally contracted, and the amount of the elastic stretch member can be reduced as compared with the prior art.
- the degree of freedom of the two sheet layers increases as the distance from the center in the orthogonal direction increases. Therefore, the area ratio of the sheet joints (the ratio of the area of the sheet joints per unit area) is increased. Increasing the integrity of the sheet layers is preferable because the two sheet layers are less likely to be in alignment with each other.
- the elastic expansion / contraction member inhibits the proximity of the two sheet layers, so that each sheet layer inhibits the elastic expansion / contraction member. In order to individually deform (shrink or bend) so as to absorb and conform to each other, it is desirable to reduce the area ratio of the sheet bonding portion and increase the degree of freedom of each sheet layer.
- the degree of change in the area ratio of the sheet joint portion can be appropriately determined, but in a normal case It is preferable to be within the range described in this section.
- the sheet joint pattern is not particularly limited as long as the two sheet layers are corrugated along each other. However, as described in this section, each of the regions between the free parts expands and contracts. If it is intermittent in the direction and is substantially continuous in the expansion / contraction direction in the region between a pair of adjacent free parts, the number of substantially continuous parts of the sheet joint part may be reduced and excellent in flexibility. it can.
- the sheet joining portion is “substantially continuous in the expansion / contraction direction” means that the target region is at least orthogonal to the expansion / contraction direction (in a deployed state, parallel to the two sheet layers and orthogonal to the elastic expansion / contraction member) Means that the sheet joining part is continuous in the expansion / contraction direction (two sheet layers are continuously bonded in the expansion / contraction direction).
- it is meant to include a form in which the sheet joining portion is intermittently disposed in the stretching direction (two sheet layers are intermittently joined in the stretching direction).
- ⁇ Invention of Claim 5> Two sheet layers extending in the expansion / contraction direction and the orthogonal direction orthogonal thereto, and a plurality of elongated elastic expansion / contractions extending along the expansion / contraction direction, spaced between the sheet layers in the orthogonal direction. And having a member
- the elastic expansion / contraction member is a fixed end formed by fixing both end portions in the expansion / contraction direction to the two sheet layers, and is free to be fixed to the two sheet layers between the fixed end portions.
- the sheet joining portion is formed by joining the two sheet layers in a region between the free portions determined as a region between the free portions adjacent in the orthogonal direction, In the region between the free parts, the sheet joint part is substantially continuous in the expansion and contraction direction.
- the present inventor conducted a variety of expansion / contraction structures, and made the sheet joint portion continuous in the expansion / contraction direction in the region between the free portions of the elastic expansion / contraction members adjacent in the direction orthogonal to the expansion / contraction direction. I noticed that the touch in the natural length state becomes flexible. This result was unthinkable from the conventional general perception that the continuity of the sheet joints increases, that is, the harder the sheet joints are packed. Actually, in this experiment, the sheet joining portion was formed by welding two sheets of material, and it was harder than the unwelded portion if only the welded portion was seen. However, if you hold the wavy surface that is formed in the natural length state with your hand, you will feel very flexible. This is clearly shown in the experimental results described later.
- the sheet joint portion is “substantially continuous in the expansion and contraction direction” means that the region between the free portions is at least perpendicular to the expansion and contraction direction (in parallel with the two sheet layers in the unfolded state, And it means that it is continuous (continues without interruption) when viewed from the direction perpendicular to the elastic elastic member, and as long as the sheet joining portion is continuous in the elastic direction (the two sheet layers are continuously in the elastic direction). It is meant to include not only the form of being joined) but also the form in which the sheet joining portion is intermittently arranged in the stretching direction (two sheet layers are joined intermittently in the stretching direction).
- the sheet bonding portion may be continuous in the expansion and contraction direction, but a decrease in flexibility is inevitable.
- a sheet layer made of a nonwoven fabric or the like is fused and formed, if the joint is continuous, the sheet is easily torn along the joint. Therefore, it is preferable to provide a sheet
- the sheet bonding portion is provided intermittently in the expansion and contraction direction, by arranging a plurality of rows as described in this section, when the sheet bonding portion is substantially continuous, the sheet bonding portion is substantially only in one row.
- the individual sheet joints become smaller and more flexible.
- bonding is performed at a large number of sheet bonding portions, sufficient bonding strength is ensured.
- Each of the sheet joints has a maximum length in the expansion / contraction direction of 0.5 to 5.0 mm,
- the interval in the expansion / contraction direction of each sheet bonding portion in each row is 0.1 to 0.9 times the maximum length of the sheet bonding portion in the expansion / contraction direction,

It is said that it is 0.2 times or more of the interval of The elastic structure of the absorbent article according to claim 6.

- a pants-type disposable diaper characterized by that.
- the waist area and the middle area in the exterior body are areas that overlap with the front-rear direction range having the absorber, and there are inner and outer fixing portions for fixing the interior body to the exterior body in the area. Therefore, even if an elastic elastic member is provided so as to cross the range in the front-rear direction having the absorber, its expansion / contraction function is limited by the rigidity of the absorber. In addition, the absorbent body may contract in the width direction, thereby deteriorating the wearing feeling and appearance, and the absorbent body may be twisted or cracked, resulting in a decrease in absorption performance.
- the sheet joint portion is intermittently provided in the width direction and the front-rear direction in the non-stretchable region as in the prior art, and the unnecessary elastic stretchable member is fixed. If not, the unnecessary elastic elastic member easily moves irregularly, and also passes through between the sheet joints adjacent in the width direction and moves greatly in the front-rear direction, so that it looks like a foreign object is mistaken. There is a fear.
- the unnecessary elastic elastic member since the unnecessary elastic elastic member is not fixed to the two sheet layers, the contraction force of the unnecessary elastic elastic member is applied to the two sheet layers. It can be in a state where it does not work completely. Further, in the non-stretchable region, the two sheet layers are joined by the sheet joining portions that are substantially continuous in the width direction on both sides in the front-rear direction of the unnecessary elastic stretchable member. Since it is limited between the sheet
- the sheet joining portion is “substantially continuous in the expansion / contraction direction” means at least a direction orthogonal to the expansion / contraction direction (a direction parallel to the two sheet layers in the deployed state and orthogonal to the elastic expansion / contraction member). As long as it is continuous (continues without interruption), as long as the sheet joint is continuous in the stretch direction (two sheet layers are continuously joined in the stretch direction) In addition, it is meant to include a form in which the sheet joining portion is intermittently disposed in the expansion / contraction direction (two sheet layers are intermittently bonded in the expansion / contraction direction).

Abstract
Description
<請求項1記載の発明>
伸縮方向及びこれと直交する直交方向に延びる2枚のシート層と、これらシート層の間に前記直交方向に間隔を空けて配置された、伸縮方向に沿って延びる複数本の細長状の弾性伸縮部材とを有し、
前記弾性伸縮部材は、前記伸縮方向の両端部が前記2枚のシート層に固定されてなる固定端部とされるとともに、これら固定端部の間は前記2枚のシート層に非固定の自由部とされており、
前記直交方向に隣接する前記自由部の間の領域として定まる自由部間領域で、前記2枚のシート層が接合されることによりシート接合部が形成されている、吸収性物品の伸縮構造において、
前記弾性伸縮部材の収縮に伴い前記2枚のシート層が収縮した状態では、前記2枚のシート層が互いに沿うような波状をなす、
ことを特徴とする吸収性物品の伸縮構造。
本発明者は、多種多様な伸縮構造を実験する中で、伸縮方向と直交方向に隣接する弾性伸縮部材の自由部の間の領域でシート接合部を伸縮方向に連続させたところ、自然長状態での手触りが柔軟になることに気が付いた。そしてその根本的な原理として、自然長状態で、2枚のシート層が互いに沿うような波状をなすと、その表裏両面に形成される襞の手触りが柔軟になることに気が付いた。
前記シート接合部は、前記自由部間領域のそれぞれに、前記伸縮方向及び前記直交方向に間隔を空けて多数形成されており、
前記自由部間領域における前記直交方向の両側に向かうにつれて段階的に、前記シート接合部の面積率が低くなる、請求項1記載の吸収性物品の伸縮構造。
自由部間領域では、直交方向の中央に近づくほど2枚のシート層の自由度が高くなるため、シート接合部の面積率(単位面積当たりのシート接合部の面積の割合)を高くし、2枚のシート層の一体性を高めると、2枚のシート層の互いに沿う状態が崩れにくくなるため好ましい。一方、自由部間領域における直交方向の両側(つまり弾性伸縮部材に近い側)では、弾性伸縮部材が2枚のシート層の近接を阻害するため、各シート層がこの弾性伸縮部材による阻害作用を吸収して互いに沿う状態となるように個々に変形(収縮や曲り)するためには、シート接合部の面積率を低くし、各シート層の自由度を高めることが望ましい。
展開状態で前記自由部間領域を前記直交方向に三等分し、その三領域のうち前記直交方向の中央に位置する領域を中央領域とし、かつその両側に位置する領域を両側領域としたとき、
前記中間領域に占める前記シート接合部の面積率に対する、前記両側領域に占める前記シート接合部の面積率の割合が20%以下である、請求項2記載の吸収性物品の伸縮構造。
自由部間領域の直交方向の両側に向かうにつれて段階的に、シート接合部の面積率を低くする形態において、そのシート接合部の面積率の変化の程度は適宜定めることができるが、通常の場合、本項記載の範囲内とすることが好ましい。
前記弾性伸縮部材が前記直交方向に間隔空けて3本以上設けられることにより、前記自由部間領域が前記直交方向に複数隣接して設けられており、
前記自由部間領域のそれぞれに前記シート接合部が前記伸縮方向に間欠的に形成され、前記直交方向に隣接する一対の前記自由部間領域に位置する前記シート接合部の群の一部又は全部が前記伸縮方向に実質的に連続されている、
請求項1~3のいずれか記載の吸収性物品の伸縮構造。
本発明では、2枚のシート層が互いに沿うような波状をなす限り、シート接合部のパターンは特に限定されるものではないが、本項記載のように、自由部間領域のそれぞれにおいては伸縮方向に間欠とし、隣接する一対の自由部間領域においては伸縮方向に実質的に連続されていると、シート接合部の実質的連続部分の数を減らして柔軟性に優れたものとすることができる。
伸縮方向及びこれと直交する直交方向に延びる2枚のシート層と、これらシート層の間に前記直交方向に間隔を空けて配置された、伸縮方向に沿って延びる複数本の細長状の弾性伸縮部材とを有し、
前記弾性伸縮部材は、前記伸縮方向の両端部が前記2枚のシート層に固定されてなる固定端部とされるとともに、これら固定端部の間では前記2枚のシート層に非固定の自由部とされており、
前記直交方向に隣接する前記自由部の間の領域として定まる自由部間領域で、前記2枚のシート層が接合されることによりシート接合部が形成されている、吸収性物品の伸縮構造において、
前記自由部間領域では、前記シート接合部が前記伸縮方向に実質的に連続されている、
ことを特徴とする吸収性物品の伸縮構造。
前述のとおり、本発明者は、多種多様な伸縮構造を実験する中で、伸縮方向と直交方向に隣接する弾性伸縮部材の自由部の間の領域でシート接合部を伸縮方向に連続させたところ、自然長状態での手触りが柔軟になることに気が付いた。この結果は、シート接合部の連続性が高まるほど、つまりシート接合部が密集するほど硬くなるという従来の一般的な認識からは考えられないことであった。実際に、この実験ではシート接合部を2枚のシート材の溶着により形成しており、溶着した部分のみを見れば溶着していない部分と比べて硬質になっていた。しかし、自然長状態で形成される波状の表面を手で持つと、とても柔軟に感じるのである。このことは、後述する実験結果にもはっきりと表れている。
前記自由部間領域に、前記シート接合部が前記伸縮方向に間隔を空けて並ぶ列が、前記直交方向に複数列形成されるとともに、各列における各シート接合部は、前記直交方向に隣接する他の列における前記伸縮方向に隣接するシート接合部間に跨るように配置されており、かつ前記直交方向に隣接する一方の列のシート接合部と他方の列のシート接合部との伸縮方向の重なり幅が、一方の列のシート接合部と他方の列のシート接合部との前記直交方向の間隔よりも広い、請求項5記載の吸収性物品の伸縮構造。
前述のように、シート接合部は伸縮方向に連続していても良いが、柔軟性の低下は避けられない。また、不織布等からなるシート層を融着して形成する場合は接合部が連続線状であると、接合部に沿ってシートが破れやすい。よって、シート接合部は伸縮方向に間欠的に設けることが好ましい。ここで、シート接合部を伸縮方向に間欠的に設ける場合、本項記載のように複数列配置することにより、シート接合部を実質的に連続させると、一列だけでシート接合部を実質的に連続させる場合と同条件で比較した場合、個々のシート接合部が小さくなり、より柔軟性に富むものとなる。しかも、多数のシート接合部で接合するため接合強度も十分に確保される。
個々の前記シート接合部は前記伸縮方向の最大長さが0.5~5.0mmとされ、
各列における各シート接合部の前記伸縮方向の間隔が前記シート接合部の前記伸縮方向の最大長さの0.1~0.9倍とされ、

前述のようにシート接合部の列を複数列設ける場合、本項記載のように、隣接列のシート接合部同士が直交方向において一部重なる配置とされていると、本発明の襞の形状安定性がより高いものとなる。
前記2枚のシート層は、前記伸縮方向の剛軟度が、前記直交方向の剛軟度よりも高い、請求項1~8のいずれか1項に記載の吸収性物品の伸縮構造。
このようなシート層を用いることにより、襞の頂部が緩やかに曲がりやすくなるため好ましい。
展開状態で、前記自由部間領域における前記直交方向の少なくとも両端部に、前記自由部間領域の幅方向全体にわたりシート接合部を有しない無シート接合領域が連続する、請求項1~9のいずれか1項に記載の吸収性物品の伸縮構造。

前記無シート接合領域の前記直交方向の長さが4~20mmとされている、請求項10記載の吸収性物品の伸縮構造。
無シート接合領域の寸法を本項記載の範囲内とすることにより、伸縮方向と直交する方向に延びる襞が、隣接襞と合体する等により不規則な形状となりにくいため好ましい。

弾性伸縮部材が前記直交方向に間隔空けて3本以上設けられる場合、直交方向に隣接する自由部間領域の全てにシート接合部を形成しなくても良いが、弾性伸縮部材の自由部は直交方向に移動可能であるため、隣接する弾性伸縮部材の自由部が接触して円滑な伸縮が阻害されたり、2本の弾性伸縮部材が揃った状態で肌に当たると跡付きしやすくなるおそれがある。また、シート接合部同士の間隔が広くなりすぎると2枚のシート層が互いに沿いにくくなる。よって、本項記載のように構成することが好ましい。

このように、シート接合部が外装体の全幅にわたって一様なパターンで設けられることにより、外装体の製造が容易で製造安定性も良好なものとなり、製造設備の簡素化も可能となる。しかも、シート接合部が外装体の全幅にわたって一様なパターンで設けられていると、間欠伸縮領域における自由部間領域においても幅方向に実質的に連続するシート接合部によって接合されることとなり、その場合、前述のとおり、自然長状態における手触りが柔軟なものとなる。
前記間欠伸縮領域における少なくとも幅方向中央側の端部では、当該間欠伸縮領域の前後方向全体にわたり連続するホットメルト接着剤により前記2枚のシート層が接合されるとともに、このホットメルト接着剤により前記弾性伸縮部材の固定端部が形成されている、請求項14~18のいずれか1項に記載のパンツタイプ使い捨ておむつ。
上述のように間欠伸縮領域における少なくとも幅方向中央側の端部で、前後方向に連続するホットメルト接着剤により弾性伸縮部材の固定端部を形成すると、非伸縮領域における2枚のシート層間の空間が、非伸縮領域の幅方向両側で閉じられるため、不要弾性伸縮部材が間欠伸縮領域に移動して見栄えが悪化するのを防止することができる。
図1~図6は、パンツタイプ使い捨ておむつの一例を示している。断面図における点模様部分はその表側及び裏側に位置する各構成部材を接合する接合手段としての接着剤を示しており、ホットメルト接着剤などのベタ、ビード、カーテン、サミット若しくはスパイラル塗布などにより、また弾性伸縮部材の固定部分はこれに代えて又はこれとともにコームガンやシュアラップ塗布などの弾性伸縮部材の外周面への塗布により形成されるものである。各構成部材を接合する接合手段としてはヒートシールや超音波シール等の素材溶着による固定手段を用いることもできる。
外装体12F,12Bは、前身頃Fを構成する部分である前側外装体12Fと、後身頃Bを構成する部分である後側外装体12Bとからなり、前側外装体12F及び後側外装体12Bは脚側で連続しておらず、離間されている。この離間距離12dは150~250mm程度とすることができる。図示しないが、この離間部分における内装体200の裏面の露出部分の一部(例えば前側外装体12Fと後側外装体12Bとの間に露出する部分の前後方向全体にわたるが、内装体200の前後端まで延びず、また幅方向両側縁も内装体200の両側縁までは達しない程度)又は全体を覆うように、不織布等からなる股間部カバーシートを貼り付けることもできる。また、図9及び図10に示すように、外装体12が、前身頃Fから後身頃Bにかけて股間を通り連続する一体的なものとすることもできる。つまり、前身頃F及び後身頃Bを個別に構成する外装体12F,12Bが前者の形態に相当し、前身頃F及び後身頃Bを一体的に構成する外装体12が後者の形態に相当する。
図2、図9及び図11~図14等に示すように、連続伸縮領域A3及び間欠伸縮領域A2における弾性伸縮部材19は、その幅方向両端部が外側シート層12S及び内側シート層12Hに固定されてなる固定端部19fとされるとともに、これら固定端部19fの間の部分は外側シート層12S及び内側シート層12Hに非固定の自由部19mとされている。この弾性伸縮部材19の自由部19mは、幅方向に自由に伸縮し、かつ後述するシート接合部20の間の空間内で前後方向(伸縮方向と直交する方向)に自由に移動可能とされている。つまり、図示形態のように、外装体12F,12Bにおける内装体200と重なる部分の一部又は全部を除いてその幅方向両側にそれぞれ設けられている弾性伸縮部材19の場合には、幅方向両側の各弾性伸縮部材19の両端部が固定端部19fとされ、外装体12F,12Bの幅方向全体にわたり連続する弾性伸縮部材19の場合には、弾性伸縮部材19における外装体12F,12Bの幅方向両端部に位置する部分が固定端部19fとされる。
図2、図5及び図11に示すように、前後方向に隣接する弾性伸縮部材19の自由部19mの間の領域として定まる自由部間領域FA(図11のハッチングを付した領域。他の図では省略。)では、外側シート層12S及び内側シート層12Hが接合されることによりシート接合部20が形成されており、完全に伸長した展開状態では2枚のシート層12S,12Hは襞の無い平坦な状態となるが、自然長状態を含め、弾性伸縮部材19の収縮に伴い2枚のシート層12S,12Hが収縮した状態では、図16に示すように2枚のシート層12S,12Hが互いに沿うような波状をなして表裏両面に襞80が形成される。図16(d)に二点鎖線で示された部分は、実線で示された部分の襞80に隣接する反対向きの襞80を形成する部分である。
・シート接合部の幅方向最大長さ20x:0.5~5.0mm
・シート接合部の前後方向最大長さ20y:0.2~2.0mm
・シート接合部の幅方向間隔20t:シート接合部の幅方向最大長さ20xの0.1~0.9倍
・シート接合部の前後方向間隔20d:シート接合部の前後方向最大長さ20yの0.5~1.5倍
・シート接合部の幅方向重なり幅20w:シート接合部の前後方向間隔20dの0.2倍以上
・自由部間領域におけるシート接合部を有する領域の前後方向長さ20z:1~10mm
・隣接する自由部間領域におけるシート接合部の前後方向間隔20s:4~20mm
他方、図24及び図28に示すように、一つ一つの自由部間領域FAにおけるシート接合部20の群を見ても、また前後方向に隣接する他の一つの自由部間領域FAのシート接合部20の群までを合わせてみても、幅方向に間欠的である(実質的に連続しない)形態とすることもできる。すなわち、この形態であっても、シート接合部20が幅方向に連続しない部分が十分に小さく、かつその幅方向両側に、幅方向に実質的に連続する部分を十分に長く形成すると、全体としての2枚のシート層12S,12Hの一体性が高いため、前者の部分においても後者の部分との連続性を保つように変形し、結果的に図16に示す形態と同様に2枚のシート層12S,12Hは互いに沿う波状をなすようになる。
非伸縮領域A1は、内側シート層12Hと外側シート層12Sとの間に弾性伸縮部材19を供給し、間欠伸縮領域A2とする領域の端部で弾性伸縮部材19の固定端部19fのみホットメルト接着剤により固定した後、非伸縮領域A1とする領域において、弾性伸縮部材19を幅方向中間の1か所又は複数か所で加圧及び加熱により切断するか、又は弾性伸縮部材15,16,19のほぼ全体を加圧及び加熱により細かく切断し、間欠伸縮領域A2に伸縮性を残しつつ非伸縮領域A1では伸縮性を殺すことにより構築することができる。
非伸縮領域A1にはシート接合部20を設けなくても良いが、外側シート層12Sが内側シート層12Hに対してずれたり、浮いたりするのは好ましくないため、シート接合部20を設けるのが好ましい。非伸縮領域のシート接合部20は、2枚のシート層12S,12Hが接合される限り特に限定されるものではないが、図2、図6、図20等に示すように、非伸縮領域A1では、不要弾性伸縮部材70は2枚のシート層12S,12Hに対して非固定とされるとともに、不要弾性伸縮部材70の前後方向両側で、幅方向に実質的に連続するシート接合部20により2枚のシート層12S,12Hが接合されていると好ましい。このように、不要弾性伸縮部材70が2枚のシート層12S,12Hに対して非固定とされていると、不要弾性伸縮部材70の収縮力が2枚のシート層12S,12Hに対して完全に作用しない状態とすることができる。さらに、非伸縮領域A1では、不要弾性伸縮部材70の前後方向両側で、幅方向に実質的に連続するシート接合部20により2枚のシート層12S,12Hが接合されており、不要弾性伸縮部材70の前後方向の移動はその前後両側に位置するシート接合部20間に限られるため、見栄えが悪化するような大きな移動は防止される。もちろん、非伸縮領域A1における不要弾性伸縮部材70は2枚のシート層12S,12Hに対してホットメルト接着剤により固定しても良い。図20(a)(b)のように弾性伸縮部材19を幅方向中間の1か所(または複数か所)で切断する場合は、接着力が低くなるようにホットメルト接着剤の塗布量等を調整する。図20(c)のように弾性伸縮部材19を細かく切断する場合は、接着力が高くても非伸縮領域A1の伸縮性をほぼ殺すことができる。
内装体200の形状、構造は特に限定されず、例えば以下に述べる形状、構造を採用することができる。内装体200は任意の形状を採ることができるが、図示の形態では長方形である。内装体200は、図3~図5に示されるように、装着者の肌側となる液透過性トップシート30と、液不透過性シート11と、これらの間に介在された吸収要素50とを備えているものであり、吸収機能を担う本体部である。符号40は、トップシート30を透過した液を速やかに吸収要素50へ移行させるために、トップシート30と吸収要素50との間に設けられた中間シート(セカンドシートとも呼ばれる)を示しており、符号60は、内装体200の両脇に***物が漏れるのを防止するために、内装体の吸収面の幅方向両側に沿って延在された、装着者の脚周りに向かって立ち上がる部分である脚周りギャザー60を示している。
トップシート30は、有孔又は無孔の不織布や、多孔性プラスチックシート等、液透過性素材であれば特に限定無く利用できるが、図3及び図4に示す形態のようにトップシート30が脚周りギャザー60の液不透過性シート64の被覆材を兼ねる場合には不織布が用いられる。また、このうち不織布は、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。例えば、柔軟性、ドレープ性を求めるのであれば、スパンボンド法、スパンレース法が、嵩高性、ソフト性を求めるのであれば、エアスルー法、ポイントボンド法、サーマルボンド法が、好ましい加工方法となる。
図7及び図8に示す形態のように、トップシート30の裏側に、トップシートより親水性に優れる中間シート(「セカンドシート」とも呼ばれている)40を設けることができる。この中間シート40は、吸収した液の吸収体からの逆戻り現象を防止し、トップシート30上のさらっとした肌触りを確保するためのものである。中間シート40は省略することもできる。
吸収体56の裏側に設けられる液不透過性シート11の素材は、特に限定されるものではないが、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樹脂等からなるプラスチックフィルムを例示することができる。液不透過性シート11には、近年、ムレ防止の観点から好まれて使用されている不透液性かつ透湿性を有する素材を用いることが好ましい。透湿性を有するプラスチックフィルムとしては、ポリエチレンやポリプロピレン等のオレフィン系樹脂中に無機充填剤を混練して、シートを成形した後、一軸又は二軸方向に延伸して得られた微多孔性プラスチックフィルムが広く用いられている。
吸収要素50は、吸収体56と、この吸収体56の全体を包む包装シート58とを有する。包装シート58は省略することもできる。
吸収体56は、繊維の集合体により形成することができる。この繊維集合体としては、綿状パルプや合成繊維等の短繊維を積繊したものの他、セルロースアセテート等の合成繊維のトウ(繊維束)を必要に応じて開繊して得られるフィラメント集合体も使用できる。繊維目付けとしては、綿状パルプや短繊維を積繊する場合は、例えば100~300g/m2程度とすることができ、フィラメント集合体の場合は、例えば30~120g/m2程度とすることができる。合成繊維の場合の繊度は、例えば、1~16dtex、好ましくは1~10dtex、さらに好ましくは1~5dtexである。フィラメント集合体の場合、フィラメントは、非捲縮繊維であってもよいが、捲縮繊維であるのが好ましい。捲縮繊維の捲縮度は、例えば、1インチ当たり5~75個、好ましくは10~50個、さらに好ましくは15~50個程度とすることができる。また、均一に捲縮した捲縮繊維を用いる場合が多い。吸収体56中には高吸収性ポリマー粒子を分散保持させるのが好ましい。
吸収体56には、その一部又は全部に高吸収性ポリマー粒子を含有させることができる。高吸収性ポリマー粒子とは、「粒子」以外に「粉体」も含む。高吸収性ポリマー粒子54としては、この種の吸収性物品に使用されるものをそのまま使用でき、例えば500μmの標準ふるい(JIS Z8801-1:2006)を用いたふるい分け(5分間の振とう)でふるい上に残る粒子の割合が30重量%以下のものが望ましく、また、180μmの標準ふるい(JIS Z8801-1:2006)を用いたふるい分け(5分間の振とう)でふるい上に残る粒子の割合が60重量%以上のものが望ましい。
包装シート58を用いる場合、その素材としては、ティッシュペーパ、特にクレープ紙、不織布、ポリラミ不織布、小孔が開いたシート等の液透過性素材を用いることができる。ただし、高吸収性ポリマー粒子が抜け出ないシートであるのが望ましい。クレープ紙に換えて不織布を使用する場合、親水性のSMS不織布(SMS、SSMMS等)が特に好適であり、その材質はポリプロピレン、ポリエチレン/ポリプロピレン複合材などを使用できる。目付けは、5~20g/m2、特に8~15g/m2のものが望ましい。
脚周りギャザー60は、内装体200の吸収面の幅方向両側に沿って延在された、装着者の脚周りに向かって立ち上がる部分であり、トップシート30上を伝わって横方向に移動する尿や軟便を遮断し、横漏れを防止するために設けられているものである。
下記例1及び例2のサンプルを作製し、30名の被験者によりどちらが自然長状態での手触りが柔軟であるかを評価した。
ポリピロピレン繊維のスパンボンド不織布(繊度2.2dtex、目付け15g/m2)をMD方向100mm×CD方向100mmの寸法で2枚用意した。一方のシート層におけるMD方向の両端部上に10g/m2の塗布量でホットメルト接着剤を塗布するとともに、その上に、270%の伸長率に伸長した太さ470dtexの糸ゴムをCD方向に5mmの間隔19dを空けて平行に配置し、更にその上に他方のシート層をMD方向及びCD方向を合わせて重ねた後、隣接する弾性伸縮部材の間の部位でMD方向に実質的に連続するパターン(図12に示されるパターン)で超音波シールを行い、2枚のシート層を接合し、MD方向を伸縮方向とし、かつCD方向を伸縮方向に直交する直交方向とする伸縮シートサンプルを作製した。シート接合部の寸法、間隔は以下のとおりとした。
・シート接合部の伸縮方向最大長さ20x:1.57mm
・シート接合部の直交方向最大長さ20y:0.70mm
・シート接合部の伸縮方向間隔20t:1.23mm(シート接合部の伸縮方向最大長さ20xの0.78倍)
・シート接合部の直交方向間隔20d:0.70mm(シート接合部の直交方向最大長さ20yの1.0倍)
・シート接合部の伸縮方向重なり幅20w:0.17mm(シート接合部の直交方向間隔20dの0.24倍)
・自由部間領域におけるシート接合部を有する領域の直交方向長さ20z:1.25mm
・隣接する自由部間領域におけるシート接合部の直交方向間隔20s:6.75mm
超音波シールのパターンを図17に示されるパターンとした以外は例1と同様とし、シート接合部20の寸法、間隔は以下のとおりとした。

・シート接合部の伸縮方向間隔20r:8.0mm
・シート接合部の直交方向間隔20v:3.0mm
例1の方が例2よりも柔軟であると感じた被験者数は30名中30名であった。
(a)2枚のシート層12S,12Hの素材は適宜定めることができるが、伸縮方向の剛軟度が、伸縮方向と直交する方向の剛軟度よりも高いと、襞80の頂部が緩やかに曲がりやすくなるため好ましい。
(b)図示形態のように、前後方向に隣接する弾性伸縮部材19の間の部位の各々に、シート接合部20が形成されていると好ましいが、複数本置きにシート接合部20が形成されていても良い。つまり、前後方向に隣接するシート接合部20間には弾性伸縮部材19を一本のみ配置することが望ましいが、複数本配置しても良い。
(c)前後方向に隣接する弾性伸縮部材19の間に設けられるシート接合部20の本数(実質的に連続する部分を一本とする)は、図示形態のように一本とする他、図13に示すように複数本とすることもできる。

(e)上述の本発明の伸縮構造は、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ファスニングテープ、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、他の伸縮部にも適用することができる。
