Abstract

Disposable absorbent pants comprise front and rear panels 2,3 which are placed one upon another and welded together along laterally opposite side edges 11a as well as along a crotch zone 11b to form a basic structure 1 of pants. Each of the front and rear panels 2,3 comprises a liquid-permeable topsheet, a liquid-impermeable backsheet and a liquid absorbent panel sandwiched therebetween. An U-shaped auxiliary liquid-absorbent panel 15 is secured within the basic pants structure to overlie the crotch zone, whereby liquid excretion can be effectively prevented from leaking out along laterally opposite edges of the crotch zone. <IMAGE>

Description

2269998 DISPOSABLE ABSORBENT PANTS The Dresenz invention relates to
absorbent pants such as disposable diapers.
Pants type disposable diaper is well known, for example, from Japanese Patent Gazette No. 1992-42017. Referring to Figs. 10 and 11 of this patent gazette, this diaper of prior art comprises a laminate consisting of a liquid-permeable topsheer cut to be longer sideways, a liquid- impermeable backsheet also cut to be longer sideways and a liquid- absorbent panel sandwiched therebetween, and an elastic member extending along one of longitudinally opposite edges of the laminate around a waist opening as well as elastic members extending along the other edge around respective leg-openin,gs, wherein said laminate is transversely folded in two, edges of the laminate thus folded opposite to the fold are bonded together and edges of cutouts formed at a middle position of the laminate's lower end are also bonded together so as to define a crotch zone.
While the diaper disclosed in the above-identified patent gazette provides a good fitting to the wearer's dtotch because the diaper is formed in the crotch zone with the cutout so as to assure that the -leg- openings are located below the bottom surface of the crotch Zone, a central area of the crotch zone contains no liquid-absorbent panel and therefore it is difficult to prevent liquid excretion from leaking out along laterally opposite side edges of the crotch zone.
Accordingly, it is a principal object of the invention to provide an improved pants type diaper comprising front and rear bodies separately formed and bonded together so that a liquid-absorbent panel covers also a bonding line in the crotch zone of the front and rear bodies.
To achieve the object set forth above, the invention resides in disposable absorbent pants comprising front and rear bodies each consisting of a liquid-permeable topsheet, a liquidimpermeable backsheet and liquid-absorbent panels sandwiched therebetween and assembled to form pants having a waist-opening as well as leg-openings, and circumferentially stretchable elastic members attached around the respective openings, characterized in that said front and rear bodies are separately formed, each of said panels being dimensioned so that said topand backsheets have their outer peripheral edges extending outward beyond outer peripheral edges of the respective panels, the respective outer peripheral ed,&.es of said top- and backsheets being bonded together along the outer peripheral edges thereof, and uhe respective bjodies are bonded together along the middle of L- heir lower edges to define a crotch zone as well as along laterally ODPOSire side edges, thus forming a basic structure of the pants; and an auxiliary liquid-absorbent panel curved in a U-shape is bonded at least at top ends of this U-shape to an inner surface of said basic structure in the crotch zone.
Preferably, said crouch zone defined by said convexly curved welding line is formed along its outer edges with a correspondingly curved cutout.
With the pants constructed according to the invention as outlined above, the crotch zone 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. The crotch zone also contains the liquidabsorbenz panel and therefore liquid excretion is effectively absorbed also in this zone.
The invention will be described by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
Fig. 1 is a perspective view showing an embodiment of a diaper constructed according to the teachings of the invention; and Figt 2 is a sectional view taken along a line X-X in Fig. 1.
Referring to Fig. 1 and 2, a diaper's basic structure 1 generally comprises front and rear bodies 2, 31 assembled in the form of pants having a waist-opening 4 and a pair of leg-openings 5. Each of front and rear bodies 2, 3 comprises a liquid-permeable zopsheet 6, a liquidimpermeable backsheer 7 and a liquidabsorbent panel 8 sandwiched between said top- and backsheets 6, 7.
Lower ends of front and rear bodies 2, 3 are formed at middle positions with cutouts 9 defining a crotch zone. The front and rear bodies 2, 3 are welded together along heat or supersonic welding lines lla, lib extending parallel with the cutouts 9 and the laterally opposite side edges 10, respectively, so as to leave narrow edges of these cutouts 9 and opposite side edges not welded. A size, shape and curvature radius of the welding line lib may be appropriately selected depending on whether the diaper is for adult or for baby so far as the welding line lib is convexly curved toward waist lines of the front and rear bodies 2, 3 and at least inner sides of respect-ive leg-- openings 5 extend downward beyond an apex 16 of the convexly curved welding line lib.
- r, - Cir.cumferenzially stretchable elastic members -13 are interposed between respective edges of top- and backsheers 6, 7 extending beyond the panel 8 around a 1 -opening and leg-openings, respectively, and said Yaist L c edges are closed together by hot melt type adhesi.-e or said welding means. Laterally opposite side edges of top- and backsheets 6, 7 extending beyond the panel 8 are also closed together in the similar manner.
The laterally opposite side edges and the lower edges around the respective leg-openings of the front and rear bodies are illustrated as extending neither parallel with nor perpendicularly to a vertical axis 14. These side edges may however extend parallel with the vertical axis 14 and these lower edges around the respective leg-opeiiings may extend perpendicularly to said vertical axis 14 within the scope of the invention.
The diaper's basic structure 1 is provided on the top surface of its crotch zone with an auxiliary liquidabsorbent panel 15 which is elongate longitudinally of the diaper's basic structure 1. The auxiliary panel is comprises a liquid-absorbent core 15a covered with liquidpermeable sheets 15b and is bonded at least at longitudinally opposite ends to the top surface of the topsheet 6 with means of adhesive so as to be curved in a U-shape. With the diaper's basic structure 1 being put on T'_ a wearerthe auxiliary panel 15 is curved in a shape together with zhe diaper's basic structure 1. The auxiliary panel 15 is preferably bonded to the diaper's basic structure 1 in a manner such that the auxiliary panel thus curved floats above the top surface of the basic structure's crotch zone and more specifically the curved auxiliary panel 15 has its outer bottom spaced by a distance S of at least 10 mm from the top surface of the basic structure's crotch zone. However, i r is also possible within the scope of the invention to arrange the auxiliary panel 15 so that the bottom of the auxiliary panel 15 may remain in contact with the top surface of the diaper's crotch zone even in the curved state. The auxiliary panel 15 way have its bottom layer comprising a liquid-impermeable sheet and/or have stretchable side flaps extending from laterally opposite sides thereof without departure from the scope of the invention.
Components of the diaper 1 may be made from materials commonly used in well known diapers. For example, the topsheet 6 may be made of nonwoven fabric, the backsheet 7 may be made of plastic film, the panel 8 may be made of fluff pulp mixed with superabsorbent polymer, the elastic members 121, 13 may be made of natural or synthetic rubber. The core 15a of the panel 15 may be made of fluff pulp mixed with superabsorbent polymer and the sheet 15b -7covering-the core 15a may be made of nonwoven fabric, preferably stretchable nonwoven fabric.
With the diaper constructed according to the invention as described above, provision of the auxiliary liquidabsorbent panel over the crotch zone allosys the crotch zone to absorb liquid excretion sufficiently to prevent any liquid excretion from leaking along the laterally opposite side edges of the crotch zone.
