Description

Support

The present invention relates to a support for an animal absorbent article for supporting a disposable disposable diaper for use in a pet.

As an absorbent article for animals for absorbing excrement discharged from a pet such as a dog or a cat, a disposable diaper that is placed on the abdomen of an animal so as to cover the excretory opening of the animal is known.

As such an absorbent article for animals, for example, Patent Document 1 discloses a disposable diaper that covers only the abdomen of a pet, and a special sling for fixing it to a pet. According to the paper diaper and the special sling disclosed in Patent Document 1, since the diaper can be reused as a disposable diaper, there is an advantage that the cost can be reduced.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

However, the slings disclosed in Patent Document 1 are separated from the two ends in the longitudinal direction of the disposable diaper by two directions in the width direction (that is, the direction corresponding to the front-rear direction of the animal). If the clip is used to hold the holder, when the diaper and the sling are loaded, if the animal moves, etc., there is a fear that the two clips of the sling will be displaced in the front-rear direction of the animal. The paper diaper which is held by the two clips is also shrunk in the front-rear direction of the animal while collecting creases or pleats. In particular, when the absorbent body of the disposable diaper shrinks in the front-rear direction of the animal, and the crease or squash is generated, not only the absorbent property of the absorbent body is not sufficiently exerted, but also the diaper is formed in plural along the waistline direction of the animal. The large crepe or pleats make it easy to form a gap between the animal's abdomen surface and the disposable diaper, so that the animal's excrement can easily leak out toward the outside through the slit.

Here, the present invention is for supporting a support body of an absorbent article attached to an animal's abdomen from the back side of an animal, and the object is to provide a support for the movement of the support body and the absorbent article, even if the animal moves, etc. In other cases, it is difficult for the absorbent article to contract in the front-rear direction of the animal, and it is difficult for the animal's excretion to leak out of the support body.

[Means to solve problems]

One aspect of the present invention (Form 1) is a support for supporting an absorbent article attached to an animal's abdomen from the back side of an animal.
In the plan view, the absorbent article includes a longitudinal direction corresponding to the waist direction of the animal at the time of attachment, and a width corresponding to the longitudinal direction and a width corresponding to the front-rear direction of the animal at the time of attachment. a direction in which a central portion at a central axis intersecting each of the longitudinal direction and the wide direction is provided, and an absorber is provided.
The support body includes, in a plan view, a first direction corresponding to a waist direction of the animal at the time of attachment, and a second direction orthogonal to the first direction and corresponding to the front-rear direction of the animal at the time of attachment. Each of the both ends of the first direction is provided with a fixing portion that is fixed to the second direction and is detachably fixed to one end of the longitudinal direction of the absorbent article.
Each of the fixing portions is provided with a length in the second direction having a length in the width direction of the absorber.

The support body of the present embodiment has a wide width of the absorbent body having the absorbent article in the fixed portion in which the absorbent article is detachably attached to the second direction in each of the both end portions in the first direction. Since the length of the second direction is greater than the length of the direction, it is easy to ensure rigidity in the second direction at least in the range of the length of the absorbent body in the width direction (specifically, the rigidity is against compression) The force applied in the two-direction manner), even when the support body and the absorbent article are loaded, even if the animal moves, etc., it is difficult to cause the absorbent article to contract in the front-rear direction of the animal, so that the width direction of the absorbent body can be made. (ie, the pleats or squashing on the direction corresponding to the anteroposterior direction of the animal) are difficult to produce. Therefore, when the support of the present embodiment is attached, not only the absorbent performance of the absorbent body in the absorbent article can be sufficiently exhibited, but also the absorbent article is difficult to form a plurality of large portions along the waistline of the animal.绉 或 褶 褶 褶 , , 或 或 或 动物 动物 动物 动物 动物 动物 动物 动物 动物 动物 动物 动物 动物 动物 动物 动物 动物 动物 动物 动物 动物 动物 动物 动物 动物 动物 动物 动物 动物 动物 动物 动物 动物 动物 动物 动物 动物 动物 动物 动物 动物It becomes difficult to leak out to the outside.

Moreover, in this patent specification, an object such as an absorbent article or a support body is gathered in a specific direction (for example, a wide direction, etc.), and a plurality of crepe lines or pleats are contracted. And the contraction deformation is called the "folding".

Further, in another aspect (aspect 2) of the aspect of the invention, in the support body of the first aspect, each of the fixing portions is along the second direction at both end portions of the support body in the first direction. Continuity extends.

In the support body of the present aspect, the fixing portions of the support body continuously extend in the second direction at both end portions of the support body in the first direction, so that it is easier to secure the rigidity in the second direction in the fixing portion. The absorbent article fixed to the fixing portion is more difficult to contract in the front-rear direction of the animal.

According to still another aspect of the present invention, in the aspect of the first aspect, the support body has a length in the second direction that spans one end of the first direction. The fixing portion and the fixing portion in the other end portion are longer than the second direction of the fixing portion.

Since the support body of the present embodiment has a length in the second direction and a total length in the first direction (that is, a direction corresponding to the waist direction of the animal) in the second direction, the support body includes the above-described fixing. The entire support body is easy to ensure the rigidity in the second direction, and it is more difficult to make the absorbent article more difficult to contract in the front-rear direction of the animal.

According to still another aspect of the present invention, the support according to the first aspect or the second aspect, wherein the support body includes a fixing portion rigidity extending at least partially along the second direction in each of the fixing portions Reinforce the component.

The support body of the present embodiment includes a fixing portion rigid reinforcing member that extends at least partially along the second direction in the fixing portion, and the relative rigidity is increased. Therefore, even when the support body and the absorbent article are attached, the animal is attached. In the case of large-scale movement and deformation of the support body itself, the deformation can be continuously concentrated outside the fixed portion, and at least the deformation portion is difficult to deform in the front-rear direction of the animal. As a result, since the support body of the present embodiment can maintain the fixed state of the absorbent article more stably, it is possible to more reliably prevent the excrement of the animal from leaking toward the outside.

In still another aspect of the present invention, the support according to the first aspect or the second aspect, the support body includes a first direction rigid reinforcing member that extends at least partially along the first direction.

Since the support body of the present aspect includes the first direction rigid reinforcing member that extends at least partially along the first direction, even when the support body and the absorbent article are attached, the support body is supported by the movement of the animal or the like. When a force is applied in the second direction (that is, a direction corresponding to the front-rear direction of the animal), the tension of the first-direction rigid reinforcing member extending in the first direction orthogonal to the second direction can also be countered. The above-mentioned urging force makes it more difficult for the entire support body to be deformed in the front-rear direction of the animal. As a result, since the support body of the present embodiment can maintain the fixed state of the absorbent article more stably, it is possible to more reliably prevent the excrement of the animal from leaking toward the outside.
Further, when the support body of the present embodiment further includes the above-described fixing portion rigid reinforcing member, the utility of the fixing portion rigid reinforcing member complements the effect, and it is possible to more reliably prevent leakage of excrement.

In still another aspect (aspect 6) of the present invention, in the support of the first aspect or the second aspect, the support body has stretchability in the first direction.

Since the support of the present embodiment has stretchability in the first direction, even when the animal is attached to the support and the absorbent article, the size of the waist of the animal changes due to exercise, breathing, eating, and the like. The force exerted on the support and the absorbent article by the movement or size of the animal can also be relaxed by the support body expanding and contracting toward the waist of the animal, and the support body can be easily maintained in close contact with the back of the animal. The displacement of the support is difficult to produce. Thereby, the utility of the above-described support body can be exerted more stably.
Further, when the support is stretchable in the first direction, when the absorbent article is attached to the animal's abdomen, the absorbent article is fixed to the support in an extended state, so that it is difficult to form the absorbent article. In the case of being loaded in a state such as a pattern or a pleat, the absorbent article can be more firmly adhered to the abdomen of the animal, and leakage of excrement can be more difficult to occur.

In still another aspect of the present invention, the support according to the first aspect or the second aspect, wherein the support body extends from the one end portion in the first direction to the other end portion Non-elasticity in the second direction.

The support of the present embodiment has a non-stretching property in the second direction from the one end portion in the first direction to the other end portion, and thus spans the first direction of the support body (also In other words, it is easy to ensure rigidity in the second direction in the entire region in the direction corresponding to the waist direction of the animal, and it is possible to more reliably prevent the absorbent article from contracting in the front-rear direction of the animal when the support and the absorbent article are attached.

In still another aspect of the present invention, the support according to the first aspect or the second aspect, the support body has a stretch ratio in a longitudinal direction of the absorbent article in the first direction. Sexually more flexible.

Since the support of the present embodiment has a stretchability higher than that of the absorbent article in the longitudinal direction in the first direction, even when the support is attached to the support and the absorbent article, the animal is moved. The size of the waist of the animal changes, such as breathing or eating, and the force exerted on the support and the absorbent article by the movement or dimensional change of the animal can also be obtained by stretching the support body toward the waist of the animal. Relaxation, so that the support body is easy to maintain close to the back of the animal; on the other hand, due to the absorbent article, the elasticity of the animal in the waistline direction (that is, the longitudinal direction of the absorbent article) is relatively low, so the animal In the front-rear direction, it is difficult to cause a wide shrinkage accompanying the elongation of the absorbent article (that is, a phenomenon in which the absorbent article is deformed so as to shrink in a wide direction accompanying elongation in the longitudinal direction of the absorbent article). The absorbent article more firmly adheres to the abdomen of the animal, making it more difficult for leakage of excretion to occur.

According to still another aspect of the present invention, in the aspect of the aspect, the support body of the aspect 1 or 2, wherein the support body has a curvature in a width direction of the absorbent article in the second direction Higher resistance to bending resistance.

Since the support of the present embodiment has a bending resistance higher than the bending resistance in the width direction of the absorbent article in the second direction, the support body and the absorbent article are attached to the animal. The abdomen, which has a large movement or dimensional change, is easily secured by a relatively soft absorbent article. On the other hand, the back of the animal whose movement or dimensional change is small is changed by a relatively hard support. It is easy to ensure the rigidity of the pleats in the wide direction against the absorbent article. Thereby, the support of the present embodiment can improve the feeling of attachment of the absorbent article, and at the same time, the leakage of the excrement can be more difficult to occur.

According to still another aspect of the present invention, in the aspect of the aspect of the present invention, in the support of the first aspect or the second aspect, the support body includes, in the thickness direction, a first surface facing the body of the animal at the time of attachment. And a second surface opposite to the first surface; the support body includes a reference line extending in a center of the first direction and extending along the second direction on the second surface.

In the support body of the present embodiment, when the support body is attached to the carcass of the animal, the second surface which is easily recognized by the owner of the owner or the like is provided with a reference line extending in the center in the first direction and extending in the second direction. Therefore, when the owner of the owner or the like mounts the support body on the back of the animal, it is easy to position the center of the back of the animal with reference to the above-mentioned reference line, and the support body can be set in the waist direction of the animal without any deviation ( Offset) is placed on the back of the animal. In this way, when the support body is placed at an appropriate position with respect to the animal's carcass, the effect produced by the above-described support body can be more reliably and effectively exerted.

Further, in the present specification, the "applicator" means a person who supports a body or an absorbent article (for example, a donor or the like) to an animal such as a dog.

In still another aspect of the present invention, the support according to the aspect 10, wherein the support body includes the reference line as a symmetry axis and is line symmetrical on the second surface. At least two auxiliary reference lines located on both sides of the reference line and extending in parallel with the reference line.

In the support body of the present embodiment, when the support body is attached to the carcass of the animal, the second surface which is easily recognized by the wearer such as the owner is provided with the reference line as the axis of symmetry and which is located in line symmetry. At least two auxiliary reference lines extending on both sides of the reference line and extending parallel to the reference line, when the wearer or the like installs the absorbent article on the animal's abdomen, the reference line can be referred to while referring to the auxiliary reference line. Both end portions in the longitudinal direction of the absorbent article are fixed to the fixing portion of the support body without any deviation from the waist direction of the animal or the left and right direction of the animal. In this way, when the absorbent article is uniformly fixed to the support in the waist direction of the animal or in the left and right direction of the animal, the absorbent article can be more firmly adhered to the abdomen of the animal, and the support can be produced by the support body described above. The utility can be more stable and sure.

In still another aspect (aspect 12) of the present invention, in the support of the first aspect or the second aspect, the support body has an outer shape in which four corners of the square shape are cut out in plan view.

The support body of the present embodiment has an outer shape in which four corners of the square shape are cut out in a plan view, so that even when the support body and the absorbent article are attached, even in the longitudinal direction of the absorbent article The both end portions are respectively fixed to the respective fixing portions located at the both end portions in the first direction of the support body, and the above-mentioned cutout portions may be present in the support body, thereby avoiding repetition by the movement of the animal or the like. The end portion in the first direction of the support body and the end portion of the end portion (the corner portion of the four corners) of the absorbent article which are not fixed are in conflict with each other, and thus may be caused by the conflict of the end portions. The curl caused at the end of the support or the absorbent article and the displacement or peeling of the absorbent article caused by the curl are difficult to produce. Thereby, the support of the present embodiment can be stably exhibited for a longer period of time by the function of the above-mentioned support or the function of the absorbent article.

In still another aspect (aspect 13) of the present invention, the animal excrement disposal kit includes the support of any of the above aspects 1 to 12 and the absorbent article.

According to the excrement disposal kit of the present aspect, since any one of the above-described forms 1 to 12 is used as the support, the absorbent article is difficult to shrink in the wide direction, and it is difficult to form the absorbent article in the waist direction of the animal. A plurality of large crepe lines or pleats are formed, so that it is difficult to form a gap caused by crepe or pleat between the surface of the animal's abdomen and the absorbent article, and it becomes easy to maintain the state in which the absorbent article is in close contact with the abdomen of the animal. It makes it difficult for excreta to leak out to the outside.

[Effect of the invention]

According to the support of the present invention, since the absorbent article supported by the support from the back side of the animal becomes difficult to be in the animal, even when the animal is moved, when the support and the absorbent article are loaded. The contraction in the front-rear direction makes it difficult for the excrement of the animal to leak toward the outside.

Thus, the supporting body 1 according to the present embodiment, each of the first system in the direction D on one side and the other side end portion 15 of _an end portion 16, extending toward the second direction D ₂ and may be a disposable diaper (2) The fixing portion 13 on the one side and the fixing portion 14 on the other side are detachably fixed, and the second direction length of the absorbent body 23 of the disposable diaper 2 is used in the second direction. (A), therefore, it is possible to easily ensure the rigidity in the second direction D ₂ at least in the range of the length direction (B) of the absorbent body 23 in the fixed portions 13 and 14 (specifically, it is against the second In the direction D ₂ , the rigidity of the compressive force is applied. When the support 1 and the disposable disposable diaper 2 are attached, it is difficult to move the disposable diaper 2 toward the front and rear direction of the animal D _F even if the animal moves. The contraction makes it difficult to produce creases or squash in the width direction W of the absorbent body 23 (i.e., the direction corresponding to the front and rear direction D _{F of the} animal). Therefore, when the support 1 of the present embodiment is attached, not only the absorbent performance of the absorbent body 23 in the disposable diaper 2 can be sufficiently exhibited, but the disposable diaper 2 is not easily used after use. A plurality of large crepe lines or pleats are formed along the waistline direction D _S of the animal, so that a gap caused by crepe or pleats is not easily formed between the animal's abdomen surface and the disposable diaper 2, and can be used after use. The disposable diaper 2 is easy to maintain a state of being in close contact with the abdomen of the animal, and as a result, the excrement is less likely to leak toward the outside.
Moreover, in the second aspect of the present invention, the length of the fixing portion in the second direction means that the length in the second direction of the fixing portion is the length in the second direction of the longest portion in the plan view, and the second direction in the fixing portion. When the length is fixed, it means the fixed length in the second direction.

Here, the "animal" to which the support and the absorbent article of the present invention are applied is not particularly limited as long as it is an extremity (four-legged animal) having a discharge organ for discharging excrement in the abdomen, except for the above embodiment. For male dogs, for example, various animals such as male cats or stallions can be targeted. Further, the excrement of the object to be absorbed and held by the animal absorbent article (for example, disposable diaper or incontinence cotton pad) to which the support of the present invention is applied is not particularly limited, and for example, urine can be exemplified. Or various excretions such as blood.

[outside surface material]
The support body 1 of the above embodiment, the outer surface of the timber 12, as shown in FIG. 2 FIG. 3 and the second, in a plan view, there is provided by one of the support member from the first direction D ₁ of the 1 The side edge edge E _L1 extends across the other side edge EL ₂ and extends from the one side edge E _W1 in the second direction D ₂ to the four corners of the square shape extending to the other side edge E _W2 The substantially octagonal outer shape that is cut in a straight line is placed in the thickness direction D _T of the support body 1 at a position on the non-opposing surface side of the body when it is attached, and is formed into a non-contact with the carcass of the animal. The sheet-like member of the second surface S ₂ of the support 1 of the surface is formed.

Further, in the present invention, the outer shape of the outer surface material is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and the specific flexibility is such that it can be placed along the waist circumference on the back of the animal to be attached. And a specific strength that can support the absorbent article attached to the animal's abdomen from the back side, and any shape corresponding to the animal's type, body shape, or size (for example, square, rectangular, hexagonal, and square) a substantially rectangular shape having an arc shape, a shape in which the central portion in the first direction bulges toward the outer side in the second direction (coronal shape), and a shape in which the central portion in the first direction is recessed toward the inner side in the second direction (inverted crown shape) Etc.) can be used.

In the above embodiment, the second surface S _{2 of the} outer surface member 12 is provided in the one end portion 15 and the other end portion 16 of the first direction D ₁ of each of the support bodies 1 The one end portion 25 in the longitudinal direction L of the disposable diaper 2 and the other side end portion 26 (more specifically, the engaging portion on one side in the longitudinal direction L) can be extended in the direction D ₂ the engaging portion 27 and the other side 28) each detachably fixing the fixing portion, i.e., the fixed portion 13 and the other side of the first direction D ₁ of the one side of the fixing portion 14.

(fixed part)
In the present embodiment, the fixed portion 13 and the other side of the fixing portion 14 D on one side of _a first direction, to a respective receiving member by the ring member and the like which is engaged by a component of the card is constituted, On the other hand, the engaging portion 27 on one side in the longitudinal direction L of the disposable diaper 2 and the engaging portion 28 on the other side are respectively used as hook members of the engaging member. Composition. Thus, the support member 1 is fixed to disposable diaper 2 occasion, 13, engaging in the longitudinal direction with respect to the support member in the first direction 1 D of one side of _one of the fixing portion disposable diaper 2 The engagement portion 27 on one side of the L is engaged with the other side of the fixing portion 14 of the first direction D ₁ of the support 1 in the longitudinal direction L of the discarded disposable diaper 2 Joint 28.

Further, in the present specification, the term "engagement" means that elements having a specific structure are connected by mechanical connection, and as long as the elements are not pulled apart by a specific force, the state of the connection will be In the state of being maintained, as a representative example of the "engagement member", all of the surface fastener tapes and the like may be mentioned. Specifically, a hook member having a plurality of engagement projections may be provided or may be provided to accommodate the same. A receiving member (for example, a loop member or the like) of a plurality of engaging recesses (for example, a loop structure portion, a gap portion constituting the fibers, and the like) of the engaging projection of the hook member.

Further, the fixing portion 13 on one side of the support 1 and the fixing portion 14 on the other side are provided with the second direction in the width direction (B) or more of the absorbent body 23 of the disposable diaper 2, respectively. In the length (A), in each of the fixing portion 13 on the one side and the fixing portion 14 on the other side, the second direction can be easily ensured in at least the length direction (B) of the absorbent body 23 in the width direction. The rigidity of D ₂ is difficult to use even when the animal is moved during the loading of the support 1 and the disposable disposable diaper 2, and the disposable disposable diaper 2 is contracted in the front-back direction D _{F of the} animal, so that the absorbent body can be used. It is difficult to produce pleats or squashing in the width direction W of 23. Thereby, when the support body 1 is attached, not only the absorption performance of the absorbent body 23 in the disposable diaper 2 can be sufficiently exhibited, but also the disposable diaper 2 is not easily formed along the animal after use. A plurality of large crepe lines or pleats in the waistline direction D _S , so that it is difficult to form a gap caused by crepe or pleat between the animal's abdomen surface and the disposable diaper 2, which can be easily maintained and discarded. The type diaper 2 is in close contact with the animal's abdomen, and as a result, the excrement is less likely to leak toward the outside.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the entire outer surface member 12 is constituted by a receiving member such as a ring member, and the fixing portion 13 on one side in the first direction D ₁ of the support 1 and the fixing portion 14 on the other side are also provided. And the outer surface material 12 is integrated.
Here, the fixing portion (that is, the fixing portion on one side in the first direction of the support body and the fixing portion on the other side) are provided in each end portion of the support body in the first direction in plan view. The length of the first direction and the length of the second direction can be defined as the peel strength at which the absorbent article does not peel off when the both ends in the longitudinal direction of the absorbent article are fixed. The part of the specific area. More specifically, the fixing portion on one side in the first direction of the support body and the fixing portion on the other side may be defined as including the first direction end edge (that is, the one side edge in the first direction and the other side) The one side edge is extended toward the inner side in the first direction, and the length in the first direction from the first direction end edge is less than the full length in the first direction (the total length in the first direction is 100%). Part of the 25% range.

Further, in the above embodiment, each fixing portion as the second fixing portion 13 of FIG other side of the first direction D ₁ side of the one shown in FIG. 14, both ends in the first direction D ₁ of the _first support member The portion (that is, the one side end portion 15 and the other side end portion 16) continuously extends along the second direction D ₂ . In the present invention, the form of the fixing portion is not limited to the embodiment of the embodiment, and each of the fixing portion on the one side in the first direction and the fixing portion on the other side is in the first direction of the support body. Both end portions (that is, one end portion and the other end portion) may be intermittently extended in the second direction within a range that does not impair the effects of the present invention. However, as in the above-described embodiment, each of the fixing portions on the one side in the first direction and the fixing portion on the other side extend continuously in the second direction at both end portions of the support in the first direction. Since the rigidity of the second direction is more easily ensured in each of the fixing portions, the absorbent article fixed by the fixing portion can be more difficult to contract in the front-rear direction of the animal.

Further, as in the above-described embodiment, when the entire outer surface material is configured by the receiving member (that is, the fixing portion is configured as a part of the outer surface material), the fixing portion on one side in the first direction and the other In the region between the fixed portions on one side, the both end portions in the longitudinal direction of the absorbent article can be fixed by engagement, and thus the shape of the animal or the state of attachment of the absorbent article can be made. It is easy to adjust the fixing position of the absorbent article in a wider range, and the absorbent article and the support body can be more reliably attached to the carcass of the animal. Further, when the entire outer surface material is constituted by a receiving member such as a ring member, it is not necessary to separately provide an engaging member corresponding to the engaging portion of the absorbent article in the supporting body, so that the constituent members of the supporting body can be reduced. The number of points, and the fact that the rigidity of the support body is excessively increased, is difficult to produce.

However, in the present invention, the fixing portion of the support body is not necessarily configured as a part of the outer surface material as in the above embodiment, and for example, the fixing portion may be disposed on each of the second surfaces of the outer surface material. The one end side of the support body in the first direction and the other side end part are engaged with each other. If the fixing portion is configured by a separate member (that is, an engaging member) different from the outer surface material, the engaging member can ensure a specific rigidity at the fixing portion, so that flexibility can be used as the outer surface material. The higher sheet-like member has the advantage of further enhancing the conformity of the support body to the animal's carcass or the touch of the skin. Therefore, the outer surface material may be any other sheet-like member (for example, the inner surface material described above), in addition to the above-mentioned receiving member such as a ring member, as long as the outer surface material that can serve as the support can function. The same sheet-like member, etc.).

In the present invention, the engaging member that can form the fixing portion of the support body is not particularly limited as long as it can be engaged with the engaging portions disposed at both end portions in the longitudinal direction of the absorbent article, and for example, it can be used. A receiving member (a hook member or the like) for receiving an engaging projection of a hook member (for example, a ring structure portion or a gap portion between fibers) as a ring member as described above .

In addition, as the receiving member that can be formed as the fixing portion, the hook member that can be used as the one side in the longitudinal direction of the absorbent article and the hook member that is the other side of the engaging portion can be engaged with each other. In addition, for example, a structure having a plurality of ring structure portions composed of fibers or synthetic resins on the surface of a sheet-like base material composed of a fiber or a synthetic resin may be used. A structure such as an engaging projection of the hook member to be engaged, a sheet-like fibrous structure such as a non-woven fabric or a braid, or the like. Further, the fibers constituting the structures or the constituent materials of the synthetic resin are not particularly limited as long as they function as the receiving members. For example, synthetic fibers (for example, polyester fibers, nylon fibers, etc.) and natural materials can be used. Any fiber such as fiber (for example, cotton, crepe, etc.), recycled fiber (for example, rayon (rayon), cuprammonium fiber, etc.), semi-synthetic fiber (acetate fiber, etc.), or polyester or polyolefin Any of the synthetic resins, such fibers or synthetic resins may be used singly or in combination of two or more.

In addition, the hook member which can be formed as a fixing portion is a receiving member (for example, a ring member) that can be used as an engaging portion on one side in the longitudinal direction of the absorbent article and an engaging portion on the other side. The mutual engagement is not particularly limited, and for example, it can be used: a flat-shaped base having a flat sheet, and a plurality of mushroom-shaped engaging projections protruding from the base toward the vertical direction (that is, from the sheet-like base toward the vertical) The shaft portion protruding in the direction and the front end of the shaft portion (specifically, the tip end of the shaft portion on the side opposite to the sheet-like base portion) are provided with an expanded diameter which expands in the direction in which the outer peripheral surface of the shaft portion expands in diameter a mushroom-shaped hook member of the engaging projection of the portion, or a plurality of key-shaped engaging projections having a flat sheet-like base portion and protruding from the base portion in the vertical direction (that is, having a sheet-like shape A key-type hook member or the like of a front end of a shaft portion that protrudes in a vertical direction (specifically, an engagement projection of a structure in which a front end of a shaft portion on the opposite side of the sheet-like base portion is folded toward the base portion). In the case where the mushroom-shaped hook member is used as the fixing portion, when the hook member and the engaging portion of the absorbent article (the receiving member such as the ring member) are engaged and fixed, the portion to be engaged and fixed is borrowed. The mushroom-shaped hook member can be pulled in various directions in accordance with the movement of the animal, and the mushroom-shaped hook member can maintain the engagement state in accordance with the force in all directions on the receiving member, so that the hook member can be strongly maintained (that is, supported) The state in which the fixed portion of the body is engaged with the receiving member (that is, the engaging portion of the absorbent article) causes the absorbent article to be displaced from the correct position of the animal's abdomen, and is more difficult to remove from the animal. The carcass is removed. Further, since the mushroom-shaped hook member can be engaged with any of the receiving members other than the ring member (for example, a fiber structure such as a non-woven fabric or a braid), it is not necessary to form the engagement of the absorbent article by the ring member. The department can realize a variety of product designs that correspond to various product concepts such as resource saving or low cost.

The constituent material of the hook members is not particularly limited, and any synthetic resin such as polyester, polyolefin, polyamide, polyvinyl chloride, olefin elastomer, or urethane elastomer can be used. These synthetic resins may be used in a single type or in combination of two or more types of resins.

Further, in the present invention, the fixing portion of the support body is preferably formed by a receiving member such as a ring member as in the above embodiment. When the fixing portion of the support body is formed by such a receiving member, the receiving member is generally durable compared to the hook member due to the loading and unloading action of the overlapping engaging members (that is, the hook member and the receiving member). The higher the degree of sexuality (i.e., the difficulty of structural damage), the advantage that the above-mentioned support can be reused over a longer period of time. Further, in this case, the engaging portion of the absorbent article is formed by the hook member. However, since the absorbent article is discarded for use, the absorbent article is usually attached to the animal. The hook member of the new absorbent article is engaged with the fixing portion (receiving member) of the support body, and the effect by the above-described support body can be stably exerted.

Moreover, in the present invention, the engaging member that can be formed as the fixing portion may be provided on the first surface of the support. More specifically, the inner surface material as a whole may be constituted by an engaging member composed of a receiving member or a hook member (that is, the fixing portion may also be configured as a part of the inner surface material), or a fixing portion, The first surface of the inner surface material may be an engaging member disposed at one end portion and the other end portion of the first direction of the respective support members (that is, the inner surface material is a different member from the inner surface material). The engaging member) is constructed.

When the fixing portion of the support is provided on the first surface of the support, when the support and the absorbent article are attached to the body of the animal, the fixing portion (engagement member) of the support is disposed from the back side. Since the engaging portion of the body non-opposing surface of the absorbent article is engaged by covering the mask, the animal or other animal in which the absorbent article is attached is difficult to peel off the absorbent article, and the absorbent article is removed by the absorbent article. Both ends of the longitudinal direction (that is, the direction corresponding to the waist direction of the animal) are positioned closer to the proximal side than the support body, so that even urine discharged from the animal or the like The excretion spreads along the absorbent article toward the waist of the animal, and there is an advantage that the excretion is difficult to leak out of the outside.
Further, when the fixing portion is formed of a different member from the inner surface material (that is, the engaging member), the engaging member can ensure a specific rigidity at the fixing portion, and thus the inner surface material is used as the inner surface material. As the outer surface material, a sheet member having higher flexibility can be used, which can further improve the fit of the support body to the carcass of the animal or the touch of the skin.

Further, when the fixing portion provided on the first surface of the support is formed of a receiving member such as a ring member, the receiving member is an engaging projection including an engaging portion (hook member) that receives the absorbent article. Since the engaging recess is not provided, it is possible to prevent the animal's hair from being entangled in the fixing portion (receiving member) provided on the first surface (the body opposing surface) of the supporting body when the supporting body is attached. Or the stimulation of the stinging of the carcass of the animal by the engagement protrusion. As a result, the support body is less likely to be annoying when it is attached, and it is easy to maintain the state in which it is placed at the correct position on the back of the animal.

Moreover, in the present invention, the thickness, the size, the basis weight, and the like of the sheet-like member which can be used as the outer surface material are not particularly limited as long as the sheet-like member can function as the outer surface material of the support. It corresponds to any desired dimensional shape, thickness, and the like of desired flexibility, strength, and air permeability.

(baseline)
Further, in the above-described embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, the support body 1 is provided on the second surface S ₂ in the center of the first direction D ₁ of the support 1 and extends along the second direction D ₂ . The reference line L _{1 for positioning} . In the support body 1 of the present embodiment, when the support body 1 is attached to the carcass of the animal, the second surface S ₂ which is easily recognized by the wearer of the owner or the like is provided with the reference line L _{1 for positioning} . Therefore, when the owner of the owner or the like attaches the support 1 to the back of the animal, it is easy to position the center of the back of the animal with reference to the reference line L ₁ , and the support 1 can be set in the waist direction of the animal. The offset (displacement) is placed on the back of the animal. As described above, if the support body is attached to the appropriate position of the animal's carcass, the effect of the above-described support body 1 can be more reliably and effectively exhibited.

In the above embodiment, the reference line L ₁ is formed by a straight line. However, in the present invention, the reference line is not limited to such a form as long as it contributes to the positioning of the support body, for example, a reference line. Any linear line such as a broken line or a wavy line can be used.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the support body 1 is provided on the second surface S ₂ as shown in FIG. ₂ , and is disposed on the reference line L such that the reference line L _{1 is} symmetrical about the axis of symmetry. 6 _an auxiliary reference lines on both sides of and extending parallel to the reference line L ₁ to L _2. Further, as shown in FIG. ₂ , the six auxiliary reference lines L ₂ are closer to the first direction D ₁ than the respective reference lines L ₁ (on the upper side of FIG. 2 ) and the other side (in In each side of the lower side of the second drawing, three auxiliary reference lines L _{2 are provided} . However, in the present invention, the arrangement of the auxiliary reference lines is not limited to such a form, and the auxiliary reference line is as long as At least one of each of the one side and the other side closer to the first direction than the reference line may be disposed (that is, two or more in total).

When the support body has such an auxiliary reference line on the second surface, when the wearer or the like installs the absorbent article on the animal's abdomen, the support can be placed on the long side of the absorbent article while referring to the auxiliary reference line. Both ends in the direction are fixed to the fixing portion of the support body so as not to be offset with respect to the waist direction of the animal or the left and right direction of the animal. Further, when the absorbent article is uniformly fixed to the support body in the waist direction of the animal or the left and right direction of the animal, the absorbent article can be more firmly adhered to the animal's abdomen, so that the support body described above can be used. The effect of playing can be more stable and sure.

In the above embodiment, the auxiliary reference line L ₂ is formed by a straight line. However, in the present invention, the auxiliary reference line is not limited to such a form as long as it is an equal installer for the absorbent article. For example, the auxiliary reference line may be any line such as a broken line or a wavy line.

Further, in the present invention, the means for forming the reference line and the auxiliary reference line may be identifiable as long as it can be formed on the second surface of the support and the owner of the owner or the like can attach the support to the back of the animal. There is no particular limitation. For example, printing, embroidery, decaling, and providing a concave-convex structure, and a constituent fiber as a reference line portion of the outer surface material may be colored fibers, and any forming means may be employed.

Further, since the second surface of the support is provided with the reference line or the auxiliary reference line, this is not an essential component of the present invention. Therefore, the support of the present invention may not have such a reference line or an auxiliary reference line.

[rigid reinforcing member]
In the above embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the support body 1 is on the outer peripheral edge of the support 1 (that is, along one side edge E _{L1 in the} first direction D ₁ and the other side). The outer edge of the support body 1 composed of the side edge edge EL ₂ , the one side edge E _{W1 of} the second direction D ₂ , the other side edge E _W2 , and the outer side edge 19E of the four inclined portions 19 The end edge) further includes a rigid reinforcing member formed of a twill band extending from the first surface S _{1 of the} support ₁ to the second surface S _{2 so} as to sandwich the inner surface material 11 and the outer surface material 12 . Furthermore, the rigid reinforcing member, as shown in FIG. 2, there are provided: a fixed portion fixing portion 13 and the other side in the first direction D ₁ side of each one of 14 D as the second direction ₂ The first portion of the fixed portion rigid reinforcing member 17 and the one of the one side edge E _W1 and the other side edge E _W2 in the second direction D ₂ are the first portion extending along the first direction D ₁ . The direction rigid reinforcement member 18.

The fixed portion rigid reinforcing member 17 and the first direction rigid reinforcing member 18 may be integrally extended in the second direction D ₂ and the first direction D ₁ , respectively, and may be at least partially extended.
In the support body, the fixing portion on the one side in the first direction and the fixing portion on the other side are provided with fixing portion rigid reinforcing members that extend at least partially in the second direction, and The fixing portion has a relatively high rigidity. Therefore, even when the support body and the absorbent article are attached, even if the animal moves greatly and the support body itself is deformed, the deformation can be continuously concentrated outside the fixed portions, and at the same time Each of the fixing portions is at least difficult to deform in the front-rear direction of the animal. Thereby, since the support body can maintain the fixed state with the absorbent article more stably, it is possible to more reliably prevent the excrement of the animal from leaking toward the outside.

In addition, as in the above-described embodiment, the support body includes the first direction rigid reinforcing member that extends at least partially along the first direction, and even when the support body and the absorbent article are attached, the animal moves or the like. When a force is applied to the second direction of the support (that is, the direction corresponding to the front-rear direction of the animal), the tension of the first-direction rigid reinforcing member extending in the first direction orthogonal to the second direction is caused. It can also resist the above-mentioned forces, making it more difficult for the entire support body to deform in the front-rear direction of the animal. Thereby, since the support body can maintain the fixed state with the absorbent article more stably, it is possible to more reliably prevent the excrement of the animal from leaking to the outside. Further, the support body further includes the above-described fixing portion rigid reinforcing member, and complements the utility of the fixing portion rigid reinforcing member, and it is possible to more reliably prevent leakage of excrement.

Further, in the above embodiment, the rigid reinforcing member, based on the support the outer periphery of the body 1 of the edge, by stitching, with the respective inner surface of the sheet of the second surface of the first surface S ₁ and the outer surface of the material 11 12 S ₂ of engagement . Specifically, the rigid reinforcing member is disposed such that the laminate of the inner surface member 11 and the outer surface member 12 is sandwiched from both sides of the first surface S ₁ side and the second surface S ₂ side, and further The rigid reinforcing member on the first surface S ₁ side arranged in the thickness direction D _T , the inner surface material 11 , the outer surface material 12 , and the rigid reinforcing member on the second surface S ₂ side are by the suture in the thickness direction D _T It is stitched, whereby it is joined together. Further, in the present invention, the means for joining the rigid reinforcing member to the first surface and the second surface is not particularly limited, and for example, a pressing means such as embossing or a heat using heat may be used. Any bonding means such as a bonding agent such as a melt adhesive or a thermal fusion means such as ultrasonic waves.

The rigid reinforcing member which can be used for the support of the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, as long as it is a belt-shaped member having a certain rigidity (strength). For example, a woven fabric or a non-woven fabric can be used. A resin-made film and a belt-shaped member composed of a laminate sheet in which two or more types are combined. Further, the belt-shaped member is preferably considered from the viewpoint that the support body is easily attached to the carcass of the animal, and is preferably stretchable in the longitudinal direction. As the stretchable belt-shaped member in the longitudinal direction, for example, a twill tape in which urethane fibers are woven, a woven fabric in which an elastic material such as polyurethane fibers or rubber is woven, and an elastic material are contained. A stretchable non-woven fabric, a mesh woven fabric woven from synthetic fibers or natural fibers, and the like. Moreover, the support body 1 of the above-described embodiment has a stretchable tread band in the longitudinal direction as a rigid reinforcing member.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the rigid reinforcing member is disposed integrally with the outer peripheral edge of the support 1 as shown in Fig. 2, but the present invention is not limited to such an arrangement, and the rigid reinforcing member is not limited thereto. It may also be disposed on a part of the outer peripheral edge of the support. Further, the fixed portion rigid reinforcing member and the first direction rigid reinforcing member are not limited to the arrangement of the above embodiment, and the fixed portion rigid reinforcing member and the first direction rigid reinforcing member may be individually rigid. The reinforcing members are configured independently.

Moreover, the size, shape, thickness, and the like of the belt-shaped member that can be used as the rigid reinforcing member are not particularly limited as long as the belt-shaped member functions as a rigid reinforcing member, and may be configured to have a desired rigidity, flexibility, or the like. Any size, thickness, etc.

Further, in the present invention, the support body may include, in addition to the rigid reinforcing member disposed at the outer peripheral edge, a sheet-like rigid reinforcing member disposed between the inner surface material and the outer surface material. The sheet-like rigid reinforcing member is not particularly limited as long as it has a specific rigidity and is recyclable by washing, and for example, a woven fabric such as a plain fabric, a non-woven fabric, a braid, or a natural leather can be used. A variety of sheet-like members such as a resin sheet such as a leather, a polyolefin, or a polyester sheet, but a woven fabric, a non-woven fabric, or a braid is used from the viewpoints of rigidity, flexibility, air permeability, strength, and the like. Fiber flakes are preferred. The dimensional shape, thickness, and the like of the sheet-like member which can be used as the rigid reinforcing member are not particularly limited, and any size, thickness, or the like corresponding to desired rigidity, flexibility, air permeability, or the like can be employed.

Further, in the present invention, the support body is provided with a rigid reinforcing member (that is, a rigid reinforcing member disposed on the outer peripheral edge of the support or a sheet-like material disposed between the inner surface member and the outer surface member). a structural member other than the rigid reinforcing member (for example, an inner surface material, an outer surface material, or an engaging member), and the support body as a whole has a specific rigidity, and the support body does not have to have such a Rigid reinforcing member.

The method for producing the support body composed of the above various members is not particularly limited. For example, any support means can be used by using a support member, an inner surface material, an outer surface material, an engaging member, or the like (for example, After the laminate is obtained by means of a means, a suturing means or the like, or by using the above means, it is necessary to bond the rigid reinforcing members to the outer peripheral edge of the laminate by using any joining means.

(support body as a whole)
As described above, in the present invention, the outer shape of the support body is not particularly limited, and the support body has a length in the second direction of the support body that is a fixed portion in one end portion of the first direction and another. It is preferable that the fixing portions in the one end portion are between the fixing portions in the second direction and longer. Further, in the above-described embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, the support body 1 includes four corners which are formed in a square shape extending in the first direction D ₁ and the second direction D ₂ in a plan view. The substantially octagonal outer shape of the support body 1 is such that the length of the support body 1 in the second direction is the fixed portion 13 and the other end portion of the one end portion 15 in the first direction D ₁ . The fixed portion 14 and the fixed portion 14 have an outer shape of a length (A) or more in the second direction in the second direction.

In this manner, the length of the support body in the second direction is longer between the fixed portion of the one end portion in the first direction and the fixed portion of the other end portion, and is longer than the second direction of the fixed portion. When the length is longer than the first direction of the support (that is, the direction corresponding to the waist direction of the animal), the length of the support in the second direction is equal to or longer than the length of the fixed portion in the second direction. Since the length is sufficient, the rigidity of the second direction can be easily ensured in the entire support body including the fixing portion, and the absorbent article supported by the support can be more reliably prevented from being shortened in the front-rear direction of the animal.

Further, if the support body has an outer shape in which the four corners of such a quadrangular shape are cut, even when the support body and the absorbent article are attached, even at both end portions in the longitudinal direction of the absorbent article The fixing portion located at the both end portions of the first direction of the support body may be repeatedly circumvented by the action of the animal or the like by the presence of the above-mentioned cutout portion of the support body. The end portion of the support body in the first direction collides with the end portions of the end portions (corner corners of the four corners) of the absorbent article that are not fixed, so that the end portions can be caused to collide with each other at the support body or The curl caused by the end portion of the absorbent article and the positional displacement or peeling of the absorbent article due to the curl are difficult to produce. Thereby, the support body can be stably exhibited for a longer period of time by the function of the above-mentioned support body or the function of the absorbent article.

Further, in the present invention, the support has a stretchability in the first direction. When the support body has elasticity in the first direction, even if the animal or the absorbent article is attached to the absorbent body, the size of the waist of the animal may be changed due to exercise or breathing or eating. The support body expands and contracts in the waist direction of the animal to alleviate the force applied to the support body and the absorbent article due to the movement or dimensional change of the animal, so that not only the support body can be easily maintained in the state of being attached to the back of the animal, but also the support body can be further supported. The positional offset is difficult to produce. Thereby, the support body can exert the effect by the above-mentioned support body more stably. Further, when the support body is stretchable in the first direction, when the absorbent article is attached to the animal's abdomen, the absorbent article is fixed to the support body in an extended state, so that it is difficult to form the absorbent article. When the crepe pattern or the pleats are attached, the absorbent article can be more firmly adhered to the animal's abdomen, and leakage of excrement is less likely to occur.

Here, in the patent specification, the term "stretching" refers to a method described in "6.3 Tensile Strength and Elongation" of JIS L 1913:2010, in which the object is 5.0 N in the opposite specific direction. When the force is stretched, there is no fracture, and the length (100%) relative to the natural state (that is, the state before elongation) can be extended by 3% or more (that is, the length after elongation is 103% or more). The method is elongated, and when the force is released, it is capable of shrinking by 70% or more with respect to the elongation (100%).

In addition, the means for imparting the stretchability in the first direction to the support is not particularly limited. For example, the inner surface material and the outer surface material constituting the support may be used as members having a stretchable sheet shape in the first direction. In addition, as for the stretchable sheet-like member in the first direction, for example, a sheet-like fibrous structure in which an elastic member such as an elastic wire is stretched in the first direction may be used, or The woven fabric, the woven fabric, the non-woven fabric, or the like constituting the fibers are woven in the first direction.

Further, in the present invention, the support body has a non-stretching property in the second direction from the one end side in the first direction to the other end side. When the support body has a non-stretching property in the second direction from the one end side in the first direction to the other end side, the first direction (that is, the animal's The entire region in the direction in which the waist direction corresponds is easy to secure the rigidity in the second direction. Therefore, when the support and the absorbent article are attached, it is possible to more reliably prevent the absorbent article from contracting in the front-rear direction of the animal.

Further, in the present invention, the support is preferably in the first direction and has a stretchability higher than that in the longitudinal direction of the absorbent article. When the support body has a stretchability higher than the stretchability in the longitudinal direction of the absorbent article in the first direction, even when the support body and the absorbent article are attached, even if the animal is moving or due to Breathing, diet, etc., the size of the waist of the animal is changed, and the force exerted on the support and the absorbent article due to the movement or dimensional change of the animal can be alleviated by the support body expanding and contracting toward the waist of the animal. Therefore, the support body is easy to maintain the state close to the back of the animal. On the other hand, due to the absorbent article, the stretchability in the waist direction of the animal (that is, the longitudinal direction of the absorbent article) is relatively low, so before and after the animal In the direction, it is difficult to produce a wide shrinkage accompanying the elongation of the absorbent article (that is, a phenomenon in which the absorbent article is deformed in a manner of shrinking in a wide direction accompanying elongation in the longitudinal direction of the absorbent article), and absorption can be made. The article is more firmly attached to the abdomen of the animal, and as a result, it is more difficult to cause leakage of excrement.
Moreover, the means for imparting the stretchability in the longitudinal direction to the absorbent article is not particularly limited, and for example, one side end portion and the other side end portion in the width direction of each absorbent article may be used. Between the edge sheet and the back sheet, at least two elastic members extending in the longitudinal direction (that is, at least one of the one end side and the other side end in each width direction) are disposed. .

Further, in the present invention, the support body preferably has a bending resistance higher than the bending resistance in the width direction of the absorbent article in the second direction. In this way, when the support body has a bending resistance higher than the bending resistance in the width direction of the absorbent article in the second direction, the support body or the absorbent article is attached to the animal, or The abdomen with a large change in size becomes easy to ensure the fit by the relatively soft absorbent article, and on the other hand, the back of the animal with a small change in the movement or size becomes easy by the relatively hard support. Ensure the rigidity of the pleats in the wide direction against the absorbent article. Thereby, the support of the present embodiment can continuously improve the feeling of attachment of the absorbent article, and at the same time, the leakage of the excrement can be more difficult to occur.

Here, the bending resistance can be obtained by the following measurement method in accordance with JIS P 8125 (Taber method), and the bending moment (gf/cm) can be obtained. In other words, a test piece having a width of 38.1 mm and a length of 70 mm was prepared, and one end of the test piece was attached to a Taber Stiffness Tester (Taber Stiffness Tester) manufactured by Yasuda Seiki Co., Ltd. The chuck of the 1/2 imprinting hammer (150 g・cm) constitutes the cantilever beam, and the other end of the test piece is bent by 15° at a speed of 180° (number of revolutions), and is read from the load scale to become 50 mm. The force required for bending at a time point of the load is calculated, and the bending moment (gf/cm) can be calculated from the force of the reading.

(side sheet)
In the disposable disposable diaper 2, a pair of side sheets (that is, a side sheet 24 on one side in the width direction W and a side sheet 24' on the other side), as shown in Figs. 4 and 5 As shown in FIG, 21 located on the surface of the sheet facing the carcass surface F ₁ of each side of both end portions in the width direction W and in the longitudinal direction L extending toward disposed. The pair of side sheets are respectively formed by a strip-shaped hydrophobic sheet-like member that is long in the longitudinal direction L in plan view, and further, each pair of side sheets is located in a wide width The surface on the outer side of the outer side of the direction W (hereinafter referred to as the "end portion on the outer side in the wide direction W") on the side of the body non-opposing surface F ₂ is joined to the surface sheet 21 and the back sheet 22, respectively. The surface of the carcass facing surface F ₁ side, on the other hand, the end portion of the inner side in the wide direction W (hereinafter referred to as the "end portion of the inner side in the wide direction W") The surface on the side of the opposing surface F ₂ is not joined to any of the sheet-like members (for example, the surface sheet 21 or the back sheet 22, etc.). Therefore, as shown in Fig. 5, the pair of side sheets, as shown in Fig. 5, the end portion on the outer side in the width direction W of the disposable diaper 2 becomes a fixed end portion, and on the other hand, the width direction W The end portion on the inner side is a free end portion and can be erected, so that leakage of excrement such as urine discharged from the animal can be prevented, and the function as a leakage preventing wall can be exhibited.

Moreover, in the disposable disposable diaper 2, the side sheet 24 on one side in the width direction W and the side sheet 24' on the other side are as shown in Figs. 4 and 5, and the width direction thereof The length of the side sheet 24 on one side of the W is longer than the length of the side sheet 24' on the other side in the width direction, and the side sheet 24 on the one side in the width direction W, As shown in Fig. 5, the inner side end portion in the width direction W is folded toward the surface sheet 21 side, and is linearly stretched in the longitudinal direction L so as to be sandwiched by the folded end portion. Member 24E. When the side sheet 24 on one side in the width direction W is configured as described above, the disposable sheet diaper 2 is attached to the animal's abdomen, and the inner side of the side sheet 24 of the one side side in the width direction W is The end portion is raised from the side of the surface sheet 21 by the contraction of the elastic member 24E, and the three-dimensional hem G shown in Fig. 6 can be formed. In this case, the disposable sheet diaper 2 is attached so that the side sheet 24 on one side in the wide direction W is attached to the front side of the animal, and the discharge organ is usually discharged from the front side toward the animal. Excretions such as urine discharged from the mouth can be reliably received by the above-described three-dimensional hem G, so that leakage of excrement is more difficult to occur. Further, in the present invention, the form of the pair of side sheets of the absorbent article is not particularly limited, and the pair of side sheets have two side sheets on one side in the width direction and two side sheets on the other side. The side may be configured as one of the side sheets 24 on the one side of the above embodiment, or may be configured as the side sheet 24' on the other side of the above embodiment.

Further, in the present invention, the strip-shaped hydrophobic sheet-like member which can be used as the side sheet of the absorbent article for animals is not particularly limited as long as it functions as a leakage preventing wall of the absorbent article. For example, any non-woven fabric (for example, spunlace nonwoven fabric, spunbond nonwoven fabric, thermal-bond nonwoven fabric, meltblown nonwoven fabric, airflow) which is provided with water repellency or hydrophobicity can be used. (air-through), such as non-woven fabrics, etc.) In addition, the constituent fibers of the non-woven fabric are not particularly limited. For example, polyolefin fibers such as polyolefin fibers, polyester fibers, and polyamide fibers may be used, such as cellulose fibers such as crepe or cotton. .

The outer shape of each pair of side sheets, various sizes, and the like, as long as they are provided with a side sheet which can be used as an absorbent article for animals (for example, liquid impermeability (leakage prevention) or softness, skin The touch, the strength, and the like are not particularly limited, and any shape or various sizes corresponding to the size or shape of the animal to be attached may be employed.

Further, in the case where the animal absorbent article is provided with such a pair of side sheets, since it is not essential for the present invention, the absorbent article for animals may not have such a pair of side sheets.

(Care Department)
In the disposable disposable diaper 2, one of the pair of fixing portions of the support 1 is engaged with the engaging portion (that is, the engaging portion 27 on one side in the longitudinal direction L is engaged with the other side). 28), as shown in FIG. 4, the pair of lines positioned side sheet side of the carcass facing surface F ₁ and L to each of both end portions in the longitudinal direction, extend toward the width direction W arranged, comprising There is an outer shape of a rectangular shape which is long in the width direction W of the disposable paper diaper 2 which is long. In the present invention, the engaging portion of the absorbent article is not limited to such an outer shape. For example, any shape such as a square, a rectangle, a hexagon, or a substantially rectangular shape having an arc shape may be used, or These shapes are provided along the arrangement form in which the absorbent articles are intermittently arranged in the width direction, but the engaging portion of the absorbent article is a fixing portion of the support body as in the disposable disposable diaper 2 described above. It is preferable that the total width direction length of the portion to be engaged and fixed is set to be an outer shape or an arrangement form of the length of the absorbent body in the width direction or more. When the engaging portion of the absorbent article is provided in such a shape or even an arrangement, when the support body and the absorbent article are attached to the body of the animal, the fixing portion of the support body and the absorbent article are engaged. The parts that are engaged with each other can more surely ensure the rigidity in the front-rear direction of the animal, so that even if the animal moves during the loading, the absorbent article can be more difficult to contract in the front-rear direction of the animal, and The pleats or squashing in the wide direction of the absorbent body of the absorbent article (i.e., the direction corresponding to the front-rear direction of the animal) is more difficult to occur.

In addition, in the disposable disposable diaper 2, the engaging portion 27 on one side in the longitudinal direction L and the engaging portion 28 on the other side are included in a plan view as shown in Fig. 4 One side edge 25E and the other side edge 26E of each of the longitudinal direction L of the disposable disposable diaper 2 are disposed. When the engaging portion 27 on the one side in the longitudinal direction L and the engaging portion 28 on the other side are in the longitudinal direction L of each of the discarded disposable diapers 2, the one side edge 25E and the other side end are provided. When the edge 26E is disposed, the disposable diaper 2 is used after being used, and the portion to the end of the longitudinal direction L of the disposable diaper 2 is fixed to the fixing portion of the support. Therefore, the curl caused by the end edge of the disposable diaper 2 after use or the peeling of the disposable diaper 2 caused by the curl can be more difficult to occur.

Moreover, in the disposable disposable diaper 2, the engaging portion 27 on one side in the longitudinal direction L and the engaging portion 28 on the other side are provided with the facing body facing body as shown in Fig. 4, respectively. The hook member of the engaging protrusion P that protrudes on the surface side is formed. Therefore, the fixing portions of the support body 1 engaged with the engaging portions are formed by receiving members of the engaging projections P of the hook members, respectively. Such a receiving member generally has a higher durability (that is, it is less likely to cause structural damage) with respect to the repeated loading and unloading operation of the engaging member as compared with the hook member, so that the disposable disposable diaper 2 is used. The engaging portion 27 on one side in the longitudinal direction L and the engaging portion 28 on the other side are respectively formed by hook members (that is, if the fixing portions of the respective supporting bodies 1 are constituted by the receiving members), There is a advantage that the above-described support body 1 can be reused for a longer period of time. Moreover, the disposable disposable diaper 2 formed by the hook member of the engaging portion is discarded for each use, so that the disposable disposable diaper 2 is attached to the animal, usually, it is new. The hook member of the disposable disposable diaper 2 is engaged with the receiving member of the fixing portion of the support body, and the effect by the disposable disposable diaper 2 can be stably exhibited.

Further, in the present invention, the engaging portion of the absorbent article is not limited to the above-described hook member, and may be formed by a receiving member such as a ring member. Moreover, the engaging portion on one side in the longitudinal direction of the absorbent article may be formed by the receiving member, and the engaging portion on the other side may be formed by the hook member.

Further, in the present invention, the engaging member (that is, the hook member or the receiving member) which can be used as the engaging portion of the absorbent article is not particularly limited as long as it does not impair the effects of the present invention, and can be used as described above. The engaging member that can be used for the fixing portion of the support body is the same as the same. In the case where the above-described mushroom-type hook member is used as the engaging portion of the absorbent article, when the hook member is engaged with the fixing portion formed by the receiving member of the supporting member, the portion to be engaged and fixed is borrowed. The mushroom-shaped hook member can be pulled in various directions by the movement of the animal or the like, and the engagement state can be maintained in accordance with the force in all directions on the above-mentioned receiving member, so that the hook member can be strongly maintained (ie, The engagement state of the absorbent article (the engaging portion of the absorbent article) and the receiving member (that is, the fixing portion of the support) are not difficult to remove the absorbent article from the correct position of the animal's abdomen, and it is difficult to remove the absorbent article. The point of removal from the carcass of the animal.

Further, the outer shape of the engaging portion of the absorbent article, various sizes, and the like may be used as long as they have an engaging portion that can be used as an absorbent article for animals (for example, engagement strength, detachability, durability, strength). In the case of the above, there is no particular limitation, and any shape or various sizes corresponding to the size or shape of the animal to be attached may be employed.

(back film)
In the disposable disposable diaper 2, the back film 22B has an outer shape of a rectangular shape extending in the longitudinal direction L and the width direction W of the disposable diaper 2 in a plan view, such as a rectangular shape. As shown in Fig. 5, the thickness direction T of the disposable disposable diaper 2 is disposed between the absorbent body 23 and the back sheet 22, and is prevented from penetrating the surface sheet 21 or the absorbent body 23 together with the back sheet 22. The leakage of excrement such as urine is constituted by a liquid-impermeable film. In the present invention, the back film of the absorbent article can be the same liquid-impermeable sheet-like member as the above-mentioned back sheet, for example, a hydrophobic nonwoven fabric, an SMS laminated nonwoven fabric, a liquid-impermeable plastic film, and Any combination of sheets or the like of these sheets can be applied.

Moreover, the outer shape of the back film, various dimensions, and the like are those which are used as a back film which can be used as an absorbent article for animals (for example, liquid impermeability (leakage resistance), flexibility, strength, etc.) There is no particular limitation, and any shape or various sizes corresponding to the size or shape of the animal to be attached may be employed.

Moreover, since such a back film is provided in an animal absorbent article, since it is not an essential component in the present invention, the animal absorbent article may not have such a back film.

Further, the method for producing an absorbent article for animals using the above various members is not particularly limited, and any of the production methods known in the art can be employed.
