Description

  The present invention relates to an absorbent article such as a paper diaper.

Paper diapers are well known as absorbent articles for body fluids such as urine. Paper diapers are worn between the liquid-permeable top sheet and the liquid-impervious back sheet in order to absorb and retain body fluids such as urine and stool, although the wearing form for the body varies depending on the product type, such as the fastening type and the pants type. This is common in that it has a structure in which an absorber is interposed. (See Patent Documents 1 to 3).
In recent years, for the purpose of increasing the amount of absorbed body fluid, a new wearing mode has been adopted in which auxiliary absorbent articles such as an absorption pad and an incontinence pad are used in combination. (See Patent Documents 4 to 5).
JP 2005-261554 A JP-A-2005-224619 JP 2001-095841 A JP 2004-261332 A JP 2002-200105 A

However, the paper diaper has a problem of causing discomfort when it is in contact with the skin after absorbing the body fluid, whether or not it is used in combination with the absorbent pad, on the structure that absorbs the body fluid through the skin contact surface. There is a constant need for improvement in reducing this discomfort.
In particular, in the case of men, the orientation of the penis always changes depending on the posture of the person. For example, if urination is performed vigorously when the penis is facing upward (chest direction), the urine becomes a disposable diaper. There is a problem that leakage may occur from the waist opening, and if urination is performed vigorously in a sideways state, there is a problem of leakage from the opening around the legs.
Furthermore, when light incontinence occurs when lying on the back with the penis facing upward, urine does not reach the absorber in conventional disposable paper diapers, and the user stays on the lower abdomen of the incontinence and the user There was also a problem that made me feel very uncomfortable.
On the other hand, in particular, when the absorbent pad is used in combination, there is also a problem that the absorbent body of the disposable diaper body is not effectively used.
Therefore, the main problem of the present invention is to reduce discomfort after absorption of bodily fluids, and to improve urine leakage and discomfort caused by the orientation of the penis, particularly when used by men. An object of the present invention is to provide a paper diaper that has high body fluid absorbability and also has improved side leakage prevention, which is a general problem of paper diapers.

The present invention that has solved the above-described problems and the effects thereof are as follows.
<Invention of Claim 1>
A paper diaper main body part in which an absorber is interposed between a liquid-permeable top sheet and a liquid-impervious back sheet, a liquid-permeable sheet constituting a skin contact surface, and a back sheet constituting a non-skin contact surface An auxiliary absorbent member in which a second absorbent body is interposed,
The paper diaper main body has standing cuffs extending in the front-rear direction on both sides in the width direction and standing on the skin contact surface side,
The auxiliary absorbent member has an easily separating line along the front-rear direction, an absorber in each of the sections divided by the easily separating line, and
The auxiliary absorbent member is positioned between the standing cuffs, the back surface is detachably bonded to the liquid-permeable surface sheet of the main body of the paper diaper, and the widthwise edge is against the inner surface side of the standing cuffs. Adhered so as not to peel off,
An absorbent article characterized by the above.

(Function and effect)
In the present invention, an auxiliary absorbent article having an easily separating line along the front-rear direction is detachably bonded onto the liquid-permeable surface sheet of the main body of the paper diaper.
Therefore, if only the center part of them is cleaved without separating both ends of the easy separation line and the vicinity of this cleaved part is peeled off from the main body of the paper diaper, a cleft hole is formed on the skin contact surface and auxiliary absorption is performed. A suitable space is formed between the member and the paper diaper main body. That is, a pocket is formed on the skin contact surface side.
Therefore, if the cleft is formed at a position facing the anus or the urethral opening, urine, feces, etc. are guided into the pocket from the cleft and the side leakage preventing effect is obtained. Further, since urine is absorbed by the main body of the paper diaper, the skin contact surface of the auxiliary absorbent member that substantially contacts the skin is less contaminated, thereby reducing user discomfort during urination. .
In addition, even if the whole easy-separation line is cleaved or the auxiliary absorbent member is separated, a pocket can be formed if the front and rear ends are formed.
On the other hand, for example, if a pocket is formed on the front body side, the penis can be attached so that the penis passes through, and in such an attachment aspect, an auxiliary absorbent article is interposed between the penis and the abdomen. That is, the penis is positioned between the absorbent intervening part of the paper diaper main body and the auxiliary absorbent article.
By adopting such a wearing mode, it is possible to prevent the urine from being discharged urgently when the penis is in the upward (chest direction) state, and to prevent the urine from leaking from the waist opening of the clothes, and to vigorously in the sideways state. It is also possible to prevent urination and leakage from the leg opening. Even if light incontinence occurs when sleeping on the back with the penis facing up, the urine will not stay on the lower abdomen of the incontinence, thus preventing the user from feeling extremely uncomfortable .
Further, since the edge in the width direction of the auxiliary absorbent member is bonded to the inner surface side of the standing cuff so as not to be peeled off, the auxiliary absorbent member is completely separated in the width direction by an easy separation line, and further, the main body of the disposable diaper is further separated. If it peels from a liquid-permeable surface sheet, it will be in the form where the divided | segmented auxiliary absorption member piece and the standing cuff were connected.
In this form, there is a thick auxiliary absorbent member on the inner surface side of the standing cuff, and an effective standing wall is formed on both sides in the width direction of the paper diaper main body. Leakage prevention performance is increased.
In addition, if the standing cuff is free at the tip side from the bonding portion with the auxiliary absorbing member, the standing cuff has the standing free portion and can exhibit the effect as the standing cuff regardless of the presence or absence of the auxiliary absorbing member.
As described above, in the present invention, a pocket can be formed at a defined position as necessary, and a standing wall having a rigid absorption function can be formed on the side in the width direction.
Depending on the user's wearing mode, it is possible to facilitate various desired leak prevention configurations.
In addition, if the auxiliary absorbent member is completely separated in the width direction by an easy separation line, and further peeled off from the liquid permeable surface sheet of the main body of the paper diaper, the restraint on the liquid permeable surface sheet through the adhesive part of the standing cuff is released. Thus, the standing position of the standing cuff serves as the base line, so that the substantial spacing between the standing lines on the liquid-permeable surface sheet is widened.
Therefore, for example, it is possible to use an auxiliary absorbent article having a size that could not be stored before. Therefore, it is possible to adopt a usage method in which the interval between the standing lines is changed according to the size of the auxiliary absorbent article.

<Invention of Claim 2>
The absorbent article according to claim 1, wherein the auxiliary absorbent member is detachably bonded to the main body of the disposable diaper via a hot melt adhesive.

(Function and effect)
By using a hot melt adhesive, the auxiliary absorbent article can be peeled off without damaging the softness of the product. Moreover, it can adhere | attach in the state which can be peeled easily. Furthermore, it is inexpensive and excellent in handling in production.

<Invention of Claim 3>
The absorptive article according to claim 1 or 2 which has a plurality of easy separation lines.

(Function and effect)
Thus, it becomes possible to more flexibly cope with a complicated desired form. For example, a plurality of strip-shaped free portions can be formed as long as they are provided apart from each other in the width direction.

<Invention of Claim 4>
Both the absorbent body and the second absorbent body have an absorbent core in which an absorbent polymer is dispersed in the fiber, and the fiber density of the second absorbent body is lower than the fiber density of the absorbent body of the paper diaper main body. The absorptive article according to any one of claims 1 to 3.

(Function and effect)
Since the fiber density of the second absorbent body is lower than that of the absorbent body, the liquid absorption speed of the auxiliary absorbent member is faster than that of the paper diaper main body, so that the body fluid can be quickly absorbed by the auxiliary absorbent member.

<Invention of Claim 5>
Both the absorbent body and the second absorbent body have an absorbent core in which an absorbent polymer is dispersed in the fiber, and the polymer density of the absorbent body of the paper diaper body is higher than the polymer density of the second absorbent body. The absorbent article according to any one of claims 1 to 4.

(Function and effect)
Since the polymer density of the absorbent body of the paper diaper main body is configured to be higher than the polymer density of the second absorbent body, the amount of liquid retained is increased in the paper diaper main body portion located far from the skin.

<Invention of Claim 6>
The length from the bonding part between the auxiliary absorbent member and the standing cuff to the tip of the standing cuff is longer than the distance from the bonding part between the auxiliary absorbing member and the standing cuff to the nearest easy separation line. The absorbent article of any one of -5.

(Function and effect)
Even when the auxiliary absorbent member is completely separated in the width direction by the easy separation line and further separated from the liquid-permeable surface sheet of the paper diaper main body, the divided auxiliary absorbent member piece is lower than the tip of the standing cuff Therefore, the contact of the tip of the standing cuff with the skin is not inhibited by the auxiliary absorbent member piece, and the barrier function of the standing cuff is suitably maintained.

<Invention of Claim 7>
The auxiliary absorbent member has a fold line, and the length from the bonded portion between the auxiliary absorbent member and the standing cuff to the fold line is shorter than the length from the bonded portion between the auxiliary absorbent member and the raised cuff to the tip of the raised cuff. The absorbent article of any one of Claims 1-6.

(Function and effect)
After the auxiliary absorbent member is completely separated in the width direction by the easy separation line and further separated from the liquid-permeable surface sheet of the main body of the paper diaper, the auxiliary absorbent member piece can be easily folded at the folding line. And in this invention, since the distance from an adhesion part to a fold line is shorter than the free part length of a standing cuff, in this folded state, the divided | segmented auxiliary absorption member piece is stored in the position lower than the front-end | tip of a standing cuff. Accordingly, in this state, the contact of the standing cuff tip with the skin is not hindered by the auxiliary absorbent member piece, and the barrier function of the standing cuff is suitably maintained.

  As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to reduce discomfort after absorption of bodily fluids and to improve urine leakage and discomfort caused by the orientation of the penis, particularly when used by men.

The position is fixed by bonding with a hot melt adhesive or the like.

  The easy separation line 5 is a state that is not separated in a normal state, but when an external force is applied such as pulling a section that sandwiches the line in a different direction, the section is separated by the line.

  Specifically, there are perforated lines, creases, low basis weight lines formed by providing a low-tsubo portion in a line, lines formed by applying a paper strength reducing agent in a line, and the like.

  The topsheet may be colored on the easy separation line or along the easy separation line so that the easy separation line 5 is easily visible.

  Further, it is desirable that the front sheet 1 and the back sheet 2 are bonded to each other in the vicinity of the easy separation line 5 by heat fusion, thermocompression bonding, adhesion with a hot melt adhesive, or the like. If it does in this way, when it cuts off by the easy cut-off line 5, exposure of the 2nd absorbers 3 and 3 will be prevented from a cut end.

  On the other hand, in the disposable diaper Z1 of this form, the fold lines 7 and 7 are formed in the auxiliary absorption member as a suitable example. The fold lines 7 and 7 are formed on both sides of the easy separation line 5, and are formed along the longitudinal direction of the auxiliary absorbent member X <b> 1 in the same manner as the easy separation line 5.

  Characteristically, the fold line is formed at a position where the separation distance between the fold line and the adhesive edge E is shorter than the length of the free portion 14F of the standing cuff.

  Here, as a specific example of the fold line, the perforation line, the crease line, the low basis weight line formed by providing a low basis area in the shape of a line, and the paper strength reducing agent are linearly applied in the same manner as the easy separation line. Although the formed line | wire etc. can be employ | adopted, an emboss line is especially suitable. The emboss line spacing, emboss depth, and the like are appropriately determined in consideration of the material and thickness of the auxiliary absorbent member.

  Here, as the hot melt adhesive used for the paper diaper of the present embodiment, a known one used for this type of absorbent article can be used. For example, what contains the below-mentioned solid-state adhesion imparting component, a plasticizer component, an antioxidant, and a base polymer as constituent components are used. What is necessary is just to adjust the adhesive force of a hot-melt-adhesive, for example, it is set as peelability or non-peelability according to a known technique according to a use site | part.

  Here, the adhesiveness-imparting component is used for the purpose of exhibiting adhesiveness at the time of heating or for the purpose of ensuring the tackiness at room temperature, and the adhesiveness-imparting component is about 11% by weight to about 60% by weight. % Is adjusted.

Especially in the field of absorbent articles, the use of synthetic high melting point waxes including high density low molecular weight polyethylene waxes, by-product polyethylene waxes and Fischer-Tropsch waxes is suitable. Moreover, modified waxes such as vinyl acetate modified and maleic anhydride modified, and oxidized wax can also be used. If waxes are used, they should be added in an amount of about 10% to about 60% by weight, more preferably 25% to 45% by weight, and still more preferably 30% to 40% by weight. The melting point of the wax to be used is 49 to 93 ° C, preferably 54 to 77 ° C, particularly preferably 63 to 74 ° C.

  The antioxidants include high molecular weight hindered phenols and polyfunctional phenols such as sulfur and phosphorus containing phenols. Representative hindered phenols are 1,3,5-trimethyl-2,4,6-tris- (3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxybenzyl) -benzene, pentaerythrityl tetrakis-3. (3,5-di-t-butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl) -propionate, n-octadecyl-3 (3,5-di-t-butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl) -propionate, 4,4′-methylenebis ( 2,6-t-butyl-phenol), 4,4′-thiobis (6-t-butyl-o-cresol), 2,6-di-t-butylphenol, 6- (4-hydroxyphenoxy) -2, 4-bis (n-octyl-thio) -1,3,5 triazine, (di-n-octylthio) ethyl 3,5-di-t-butyl-4-hydroxy-benzoate, or sorbitol Hexa [3- (3,5-di -t- butyl-4-hydroxy - phenyl) - propionate] is.

  Antioxidants can also be used with them, for example, known synergists such as thiodipropionate esters and phosphites. These serve to further enhance the performance of the antioxidant. In particular, distearyl thiodipropionate is useful. These stabilizers are generally used in an amount of about 0.1 to 1.5% by weight, preferably 0.25 to 1.0% by weight.

  As the base polymer, any of a styrene block copolymer, a polyurethane block copolymer, a polyester block copolymer, a polyamide block copolymer, and a copolymer blend can be preferably used. As the styrene block copolymer, styrene-butadiene-styrene (S-B-S) or styrene-ethylenebutadiene-styrene (S-EB-S) can be used. As the copolymer blend, styrene-ethylenebutadiene-styrene / polypropylene (S-EB-S / PP) or polypropylene / ethylene-propylene (PP / EP) can be used. In addition, polyolefin-based thermoplastic resins can also be used. As the polyolefin-based material, any of polyamide-based, polyester-based, polyethylene-based, and polypropylene-based materials can be used.

  A specific bonding method using the hot melt adhesive is not particularly limited. It is possible to use an appropriate bonding method according to the use site. For example, when the liquid-permeable surface sheet 11 of the paper diaper main body Y1 and the auxiliary absorbent member X1 are bonded, they can be bonded after being manufactured separately, and can be easily manufactured, and can be easily peeled off. Therefore, a method of applying a hot melt adhesive by melt application is preferable. Specifically, the molten hot-melt adhesive is solid-coated, straight-coated, spiral-coated, etc., and bonded to the liquid-permeable top sheet 11 of the paper diaper main body Y1 or the back sheet 2 of the auxiliary absorbent member X1. Is preferred. Among these, from the viewpoint of the softness of the product, the certainty of adhesion, and the strength maintenance when partially peeling, which will be described later, a spiral application is particularly suitable for the application form at such a position.

  The peel strength between the auxiliary absorbent member X1 and the liquid-permeable surface sheet 11 of the paper diaper main body Y1 is set to an appropriate strength to such an extent that it is not peeled unless a peeling operation is intentionally performed. This can be achieved by adjusting the composition and coating amount of the hot melt adhesive according to known techniques.

  On the other hand, the surface sheet 1 of the auxiliary absorbent member X1 can be formed of the same material as the liquid-permeable surface sheet 11 of the paper diaper main body Y1. For example, the non-woven fabric can be formed of a non-woven fabric. As a constituent fiber, the synthetic fiber such as polyethylene or polypropylene, synthetic fiber such as polyester or polyamide, regenerated fiber such as rayon or cupra, natural fiber such as cotton, etc. A nonwoven fabric obtained by an appropriate processing method such as a spunlace method, a spunbond 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. Further, it may be a non-woven fabric having a layer structure such as an SMS non-woven fabric, a point bond non-woven fabric, a plastic film such as a polyethylene film, or a laminated non-woven fabric obtained by laminating a plastic film and a non-woven fabric.

  The back sheet 2 of the auxiliary absorbent member X1 may be either liquid permeable or liquid impermeable. If it is liquid-permeable, it can be formed of the same material as the top sheet 1. If it is made liquid-impermeable, it can be formed with the same material as the liquid-impermeable back sheet 12 of the paper diaper main body Y1. For example, a sheet material having at least water shielding properties such as an olefin-based resin sheet such as polyethylene or polypropylene is used, but in addition to this, a laminated nonwoven fabric obtained by laminating a nonwoven fabric on a polyethylene sheet or the like, and further, a waterproof film is interposed. For example, a non-woven sheet having impermeableness to liquid can be used.

  As the superabsorbent polymer of the second absorbent body 3, the same material as that of the absorbent body of the disposable diaper main body Y1 can be used. For example, carboxymethylcellulose, polyacrylic acid and salts thereof, crosslinked acrylate polymer, starch -Acrylic acid graft copolymer, hydrolyzate of starch-acrylonitrile graft copolymer, cross-linked polyoxyethylene cross-linked product, carboxymethyl cellulose cross-linked product, polyethylene oxide, polyacrylamide etc. A copolymer of isobutylene and maleic acid is preferably used. What added the blocking inhibitor in order to suppress the blocking property by moisture absorption of a product can also be used. In addition, the superabsorbent polymer has various forms such as powder, particles, granules, pellets, sol, suspension, gel, film, and nonwoven fabric. Any of them can be used in the present invention, and a particulate material is particularly preferably used.

  Here, it is desirable that the absorbent body 13 of the paper diaper main body Y1 is excellent in liquid holding amount, and the second absorbent body 3 of the auxiliary absorbent member X1 is excellent in liquid absorption speed. In this way, body fluid is quickly absorbed by the second absorbent body 3 close to the skin, and an effect of reducing discomfort during drainage is obtained, and a lot of liquid is held in the paper diaper main body Y1 far from the skin, so that the paper diaper The effect of reducing the replacement frequency is obtained.

  In order to change the characteristics of the absorbent bodies 3 and 13, for example, the fiber density, the polymer density, and the thickness of the absorbent cores of the absorbent bodies 3 and 13 are made different. Specifically, the polymer density of the absorbent body 13 of the paper diaper main body Y1 may be higher than that of the second absorbent body 3, and the fiber density of the second absorbent body 3 may be lower than that of the paper diaper main body Y1. .

Next, a method of using the paper diaper Z1 of this embodiment will be described.
The paper diaper Z1 of the present embodiment is not to cut off both front and rear end portions of the easy-separation line 5 of the auxiliary absorbent member X1, but only the central portion between them is cleaved, and only the vicinity of the cleaved portion is separated from the paper diaper main body Y1. For example, as in the form shown in FIG. 3, a cleaving hole C that is cleaved in the front-rear direction is formed on the skin contact surface. If the cleft C is a position facing the urethral opening or anus, urine and feces are guided to the cleft C, thereby improving discomfort caused by urine and stool remaining on the skin contact surface. .

  Moreover, if all the easy-separation lines are cleaved to separate the auxiliary absorbent member X1, and all of the auxiliary absorbent member is peeled from the liquid-permeable surface sheet 11 of the paper diaper main body Y1, the configuration shown in FIGS. As described above, the restraint on the liquid-permeable surface sheet 11 via the adhesive edge E of the standing cuff 14 is released, and the standing force of the standing cuff 14 is helped by the standing force along the skin contact surface along the front-rear direction. Auxiliary absorbent member pieces X1 ′, X1 ′ are formed. Urine and feces are guided to the center in the width direction by the auxiliary absorbent member piece X1 ′ and also absorbed by the auxiliary absorbent member piece X1 ′ itself, thereby preventing leakage from the product side, particularly the suspension openings L and L. Is done.

  Furthermore, as a preferred example of use, as shown in FIG. 6, the auxiliary absorbent member pieces X <b> 1 ′ X <b> 1 ′ formed by the tearing of the easy separation line 5 are folded at the folding lines 7 and 7, respectively. At this time, the direction of folding is the direction toward the back sheet side.

  When folded in this way, the auxiliary absorbent member piece X1 ′ X1 ′ is placed at a position lower than the tip of the standing cuff 14 and the contact of the tip of the standing cuff 14 with the skin is hindered by the presence of the auxiliary absorbent member piece X1 ′. Thus, the barrier function is suitably maintained.

  Furthermore, since the space between the standing lines on the liquid-permeable surface sheet of the standing cuff 14 is widened, an auxiliary absorbent article such as an absorbent pad (not shown) can be used in combination. In particular, in the present invention, it is preferable to hold the auxiliary absorbent member, the upright line, and the bonding portion so as to be fitted closer to the base end side (upright line side).

“Second Embodiment”
A paper diaper Z2 according to the second embodiment is shown in FIG. The disposable diaper Z2 of the second embodiment is provided with a total of two easy-to-separate lines 5, one on each side of the auxiliary absorbent member X1 along the product longitudinal direction at the center in the product width direction and across the center. 5 is formed.
The positions of the easy separation lines 5 and 5 are such that the distance from the easy separation lines 5 and 5 to the adhesive edge E with the inner surface of the standing cuff 14 is shorter than the length from the adhesive edge E to the tip of the standing cuff 14. It is supposed to be a position.
Other configurations are the same as those in the first embodiment.
Therefore, in 2nd Embodiment of this structure, while tearing out all the easy-separation lines 5 and peeling only the part closer to a standing cuff than this easy-separation line 5, as shown in FIG. A part X1 ″ of the absorbent member remains, and auxiliary absorbent member pieces X1 ′ and X1 ′ having a height lower than the tip of the standing cuff are formed.
In such a shape, the absorbing wall function by the auxiliary absorbing member pieces X1 ′ and X1 and the barrier function by the standing cuff 14 are not easily disturbed by each other, and are suitably maintained and function.

“Third embodiment”
As shown in FIG. 9, the third embodiment is a form in which the free end portion 14 </ b> F of the standing cuff 14 in the first embodiment is elongated.
The standing cuff 14 according to the present embodiment is a folding upright cuff having a lifting assist elastic elastic member 24, 24 and having a structure folded at a position where the lifting assist elastic stretching member is disposed. The length of the portion 14F is formed to be longer than the separation distance L1 between the adhesive edge E with the auxiliary absorbent member X1 and the easy separation line 5 of the auxiliary absorbent member X1.
Therefore, in the disposable diaper Z3 according to the present embodiment, the auxiliary absorbent member X1 that is formed when the auxiliary absorbent member X1 is cleaved along the easy-to-separate line 6 and is peeled from the liquid-permeable surface sheet 11 is separated from the tip of the standing cuff 14. Therefore, the contact of the standing cuff 14 with the skin is not inhibited by the auxiliary absorbent member piece, and the barrier function by the standing cuff is suitably maintained.
