Abstract

An undergarment 1 such as a disposable diaper, a diaper cover or the like comprises front and rear bodies 2, 3. During manufacture the latter are placed one upon another and welded together only at the crotch zone along a welding line 8 convexly curved toward the waist line. The undergarment 1 is partially cut away at laterally opposite sides to form leg-openings so as to leave a relatively wide crotch zone and thereby to improve the fitting of the undergarment 1 to a crotch of a wearer's body. <IMAGE>

Description

2269087 UNDERGARMENTS The present invention relates to undergarments such
as disposable diapers, diaper covers or the like.
A typical example of the open type disposable diapers having tape fastener means used to fasten front and rear bodies to each other at the level of-the waist line is disclosed in Japanese Patent No. 1977-40267. This example comprises a liquid-permeable topsheet, a liquid-impermeable backsheet, and a liquid-absorbent panel sandwiched therebetween wherein a pair of side flaps are formed by portions of the top- and backsheets extending outward beyond laterally opposite sides of the panel and the respective side flaps are formed at a crotch level with cutouts destined to define leg-openings around which the respective side flaps are provided with elastic members serving to seal theside flaps around the respective legs of the wearer and wherein the rear body is provided at laterally opposite sides with tape fasteners used to fasten the rear body to the front body.
As the diaper disclosed in the above-identified Japanese Patent No. 197740267 is typical, the cutouts formed in opposite sides of the crotch zone for improved fitting of the diaper to the wearer's body necessarily 2reduce the width of the crotch zone and it is practically impossible for the crotch zone to thoroughly surround the wearerls thighs. The crotch zone thus width-reduced inevitably decreases the ability of the crotch zone to absorb liquid excretion, particularly as liquid excretion readily occurs along opposite side edges of the crotch zone.
Generally in the well known diaper of the type as disclosed in the aboveidentified Japanese Patent, a fold line of the, crotch zone corresponding to a boundary line of front and rear bodies horizontally extends in parallel to the waist line. In addition, the liquid-absorbent panel has so-called semi-rigidity, since it often comprises more or less compressed accumulation of fluff pulp and tissue papers covdring top- and backsurfaces of this accumulation. Accordingly, the crotch zone of the diaper can not get to fit the corresponding zone of the wearer's body, thus not only giving the wearer the feeling of incompatibility but also causing said leak of excretion.
In view of the problem as mentioned above, it is a principal object of the invention to provide an undergarment having a crotch zone configured so as to combine an advantage of an open type diaper with an -3advantage of a short-pants type diaper and thereby to eliminate the drawbacks of the well known diapers as has been mentioned above.
The advantage of the open type diaper lies in that the diaper can be adjustably tightened around a waist-opening as well as around legopenings and the advantage of the shortpants type diaper lies in that it has the portions of diaper to thoroughly cover at least inner sides of the wearerts thighs as the hose portions of the short-pants and the crotch zone can be dimensioned to be larger than that in the well known diaper.
To achieve the object set forth above, the invention generally resides in an undergarment comprising front and rear bodies, characterized in that said front and rear bodies only are welded together adjacent lower ends along a welding line convexly curved toward waist lines of said front and rear bodies so as to define a crotch zone.
When said undergarment is a disposable diaper, each of said front and rear bodies comprises a liquid-permeable topsheet, a liquid-impermeable backsheet and a liquidabsorbent panel sandwiched between said top- and backsheets, and the rear body is provided on laterally opposite sides at the level of waist line with fastener means such as pressure-sensitive adhesive tape. When said undergarment is a diaper cover, each of said front and rear bodies comprises at least a liquid-impermeable sheet and are provided on laterally opposite sides at the level of waist line with fastener means such as Velcro (Trade Mark) so that these fastener means may be positioned to fasten front and rear bodies with opposite sides of the former overlapping the corresponding sides of the latter. Preferably, said front and rear bodies are provided along the waist line and around a pair of leg-openings with circumferentially stretchable elastic members.
With the undergarment constructed according to the invention as has been outlined above, the inner surface of the crotch zone formed by lower ends of front and rear bodies welded together by the convexly curved welding line is reliably centered to the wearer's crotch and laterally opposite sides of the crotch zone cover at least inner sides of the wearer's thighs, respectively. In this manner, the crotch zone of the undergarment covers substantially the entire crotch of the wearer.
The invention will be described by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
Fig. 1 is a front view showing an embodiment of a diaper constructed according to the teachings of the invention; Fig. 2 is a schematic sectional view taken along a -5line A-A in Fig. 1; Fig. 3 is a schematic sectional view taken along a line B-B in Fig. 1; and Figs. 4(A), (B) and (C) are front views exemplarily showing the convexly curved welding line.
Referring to Figs. 1 to 3, a diaper 1 generally comprises front and rear bodies 2, 3. The rear body 3 is transversely dimensioned to be larger than the front body 2. Each of front and rear bodies 2, 3 comprises a liquidpermeable topsheet 4, a liquid-impermeable backsheet 5 and a liquidabsorbent panel 6 sandwiched between said top- and backsheets 4, 5.
Lower ends of front and rear bodies 2, 3 are formed at middle positions with cutouts 7 convexly curved toward waist lines of front and rear bodies 2, 3. The front and rear bodies 2, 3 are welded together along a heat or supersonic welding line 8 extending in parallel with the cutouts 7 so as to leave narrow edges of the cutouts 7 not welded. The welding line 8 may describe a curve, for example, as shown by Figs. 4M, (B) or (C). Sizes, shapes and curvature radiuses of the welding line 8 may be appropriately selected depending on whether the diaper is for adult or for baby so far as the welding line 8 is -6convexly curved toward waist lines-of front and rear bodies 2, 3 and at least inner sides of respective leg-openings 10 extend downward beyond an apex 9 of the convexly curved welding line 8.
Circumferentially stretchable elastic members 11, 12 are interposed between respective edges of top- and backsheets 4, 5 extending beyond the panel 6 around waistopening and leg-openings, respectively, and said edges are closed together by hot melt type adhesive or said welding means. Laterally opposite side edges of top- and backsheets 4, 5 extending beyond the panel 6 are also closed together in the same manner and the rear body 3 is provided on laterally opposite side edges with a plurality of fastener means 13 each comprising a tape fastener applied on one side with pressure-sensitive adhesive, by which the laterally opposite sides of the rear body 3 are fastened to the corresponding sides of the front body 2.
While laterally opposite side edges and lower edges around the respective leg-openings of front and rear bodies 2, 3 are illustrated as extending neither in parallel with nor perpendicularly to a vertical axis 14, these side edges may extend in parallel with the vertical axis 14 and these lower edges around the respective leg-openings may extend perpendicularly to said vertical axis 14 within the scope of the invention.
The diaper 1 thus constructed is therefore opened at the laterally opposite sides at the waist-oDening as well as the leg-openings and, when erected with use of the fastener means as illustrated by Fig. 1, the laterally opposite sides are closed and, in consequence, the waist opening as well as the leg-openings are also closed. Sizes of these openings depend on overlap width of front and rear bodies 2, 3 and the overlap width depends, in turn, on sizes of individual wearer's waist and legs (thighs).
Components of the diaper 1 may be made from materials commonly used in the well known diapers. For example, the topsheet 4 may be made of nonwoven fabric, the backsheet 5 may be made of plastic film, the panel 6 may be made of fluff pulp mixed with superabsorbent polymer, the elastic members 11. 12 may be made of natural or synthetic rubber, and substrate of the fastener means 13 may be made of fine quality paper or laminate of nonwoven fabric and plastic film.
it should be understood that the undergarment may be made from at least a liquid-impermeable sheet such as water-proofed woven fabric when the undergarment is a diaper cover.
With the undergarment constructed according to the teachings of the invention as described hereinabove, the formation of the cutouts in opposite sides of the crotch -8zone so as to def ine the leg-openings never results in an unacceptably narrow width of the crotch zone, since the welding line convexly curved toward the waist line allows a width of the crotch zone defined between the opposite side edges of the crotch zone to be dimensioned adequately large. In addition, the formation of such welding line allows the crotch zone to cover at least inner sides of the respective thighs and thereby to overcome the drawbacks of the well known undergarments such as disposable diapers.
