- the force acting on the first weakening line 21 from the packaging bag 3 in the planned gripping area 6 is scheduled to be opened. Disperse through the packaging bag 3 in region 7. Therefore, since the force acting on the first weakening wire 21 becomes small, it is possible to prevent the first weakening wire 21 from being torn during transportation.

Therefore, by folding the absorbent article 2 in half and arranging the crease 5 in the packaging bag 3 so that the crease 5 is above the vertical direction T, the position of the center of gravity of the package 1 is above the vertical direction T. Then, the moment of the package 1 having the upper surface portion 10 as the center of rotation becomes smaller by the amount that the position of the center of gravity is higher. Therefore, during transportation, the force acting on the first weakening line 21 when the package 1 is shaken can be suppressed, and when the packaging body 1 collides with an obstacle or the like, the force is applied to the first weakening line 21. The impact can be made smaller. Therefore, the package 1 can prevent the first weakening wire 21 from being torn during transportation.

Therefore, the package 1 can prevent the first weakening wire 21 from being torn during transportation.
- the high-rigidity portion 28 disperses the force acting on the handle portion 18 over the entire width direction W. That is, the package 1 can reduce the force acting on the first weakening wire 21 by absorbing the force acting on the handle portion 18 in a wider range of the upper surface portion 10, so that the first weakening wire 21 can be transported. Can be prevented from being torn.
- the opening 24 of the hand-carrying portion 25 is curved, it is possible to prevent stress from concentrating on a part of the hand-carrying portion 25 due to the weight of the plurality of absorbent articles 2 stored in the packaging bag 3.

Description
複数の吸収性物品と、前記複数の吸収性物品を収納し、上下方向を含み、上面部、前面部、後面部、右面部、及び左面部を有する包装袋と、を備える包装体であって、前記包装袋は、前記上面部の把持予定領域の外縁と、前記上下方向における前記複数の吸収性物品の上側の端縁との間の開封予定領域に、引裂強度が4N以下の第1弱め線を有し、前記第1弱め線の前記上下方向の引っ張り力に対する引張強度が3.5N/25mm/kg以上である、包装体。
[態様1]
複数の吸収性物品と、前記複数の吸収性物品を収納し、上下方向を含み、上面部、前面部、後面部、右面部、及び左面部を有する包装袋と、を備える包装体であって、前記包装袋は、前記上面部の把持予定領域の外縁と、前記上下方向における前記複数の吸収性物品の上側の端縁との間の開封予定領域に、引裂強度が4N以下の第1弱め線を有し、前記第1弱め線の前記上下方向の引っ張り力に対する引張強度が3.5N/25mm/kg以上である、包装体。
包装体は、把持予定領域の外縁と上下方向における複数の吸収性物品の上側の端縁との間の開封予定領域に、引裂強度が4N以下である第1弱め線を有する。第1弱め線は、引裂強度が4N以下であることによって、容易に引き裂くことができるので、開封する際の起点となることができる。したがって、包装体は、容易に開封することができる。
第1弱め線は、把持予定領域の外縁と上下方向における複数の吸収性物品の上側の端縁との間の開封予定領域に設けられているので、包装袋に収納された吸収性物品によって把持予定領域の包装袋を把持した場合に把持予定領域の包装袋に対し生じる力の作用線上に位置する。そうすると、運搬の際、すなわち把持予定領域の包装袋を把持して包装体を持ち上げた場合、把持予定領域の包装袋に作用する力が第1弱め線にも作用する。第1弱め線の上下方向の引っ張り力に対する引張強度Aと複数の吸収性物品の総重量BとがA/B≧3.5(N/25mm/kg)の関係を有することによって、運搬の際に、包装袋に作用する力によって第1弱め線を起点に引き裂かれることを防止することができる。したがって、包装体は、運搬の際の耐久性を備えるといえる。
以上より、包装体は、運搬の際の耐久性を備えつつ、容易に開封することができる。
前記開封予定領域内の前記上下方向に交差する方向の端部領域に、前記第1弱め線を有し、前記開封予定領域内の前記上下方向に交差する方向の中央領域に、第2弱め線を更に有し、前記第1弱め線及び前記第2弱め線は、それぞれ、列方向に間隔を開けて形成された複数の切込み穴を含み、前記第1弱め線と前記第2弱め線とで、前記複数の切込み穴の前記列方向の長さ、及び前記間隔の前記列方向の長さのうち少なくとも一方が異なる、態様1に記載の包装体。
開封予定領域内における包装袋に作用する力は、開封予定領域内の位置によって、また、把持予定領域内の実際に把持される位置によっても、異なる。開封予定領域内の位置に応じて、第1弱め線と第2弱め線の、複数の切込み穴の前記列方向の長さ、及び前記間隔の前記列方向の長さのうち少なくとも一方を、適宜変更することによって、包装体は、より確実に、運搬の際の耐久性と、開封の容易性とを調整することができる。

第1弱め線において、切込み穴の列方向の長さは、間隔の列方向の長さ、すなわち隣り合う切込み穴同士の間隔以下であることによって、上下方向の引っ張り力による切込み穴の変形を抑制することができる。したがって、運搬の際に切込み穴の変形によって隣り合う切込み穴が連結する、すなわち第1弱め線を起点として包装袋が引き裂かれることを防止することができる。したがって包装体は、運搬の際に包装袋が引き裂かれることを防止することができる。
前記開封予定領域において、隣り合う前記第1弱め線と前記第2弱め線とは、互いに離間している、態様2又は3に記載の包装体。
隣り合う第1弱め線と第2弱め線とは、互いに離間していることによって、把持予定領域の包装袋を把持した際に作用する力が、第1弱め線と第2弱め線にそれぞれ分散する。そうすると、隣り合う第1弱め線と第2弱め線とが互いに影響し合うこと、すなわち第1弱め線と第2弱め線とが連鎖して引き裂かれることを抑制することができる。したがって包装体は、運搬の際に包装袋が引き裂かれることを防止することができる。
前記包装袋は、前記開封予定領域内に角部を有し、前記角部は、前記前面部と前記右面部とが交わる部分、前記前面部と前記左面部とが交わる部分、前記後面部と前記右面部とが交わる部分、及び前記後面部と前記左面部とが交わる部分の各々であり、前記角部の少なくとも一つの頂部を跨ぐように前記第1弱め線が設けられており、前記第1弱め線が設けられた前記角部において、前記角部の前記頂部から前記第1弱め線の端部までの距離が前記間隔の前記列方向の長さより短い、態様2~4のいずれか1項に記載の包装体。
包装体は、角部の少なくとも一つの頂部を跨ぐように第1弱め線が設けられているので、当該角部を指で挟んで第1弱め線を起点に包装袋を引き裂くことによって、容易に開封することができる。更に、当該角部において、頂部から第1弱め線の端部までの距離が、間隔の列方向の長さ、すなわち隣り合う切込み穴同士の間隔より短いので、第1弱め線を起点に包装袋をより容易に引き裂くことができる。
前記包装袋は、前記開封予定領域内に角部を有し、前記角部は、前記前面部と前記右面部とが交わる部分、前記前面部と前記左面部とが交わる部分、前記後面部と前記右面部とが交わる部分、及び前記後面部と前記左面部とが交わる部分の各々であり、前記角部は、前記右面部及び前記左面部を、それぞれ前記前面部及び前記後面部との間における前記上下方向に交差する方向の前記包装袋の内側へ、谷折りに折り畳まれて形成されており、前記角部の少なくとも一つの頂部を跨ぐように前記第1弱め線が設けられており、前記前面部及び前記後面部に前記第2弱め線が設けられており、前記第1弱め線の切込み穴の前記列方向の長さは、前記第2弱め線の切込み穴の前記列方向の長さより長い、又は、前記第1弱め線の間隔の前記列方向の長さに対する切込み穴の前記列方向の長さの比率は、前記第2弱め線の間隔の前記列方向の長さに対する切込み穴の前記列方向の長さの比率より大きい、態様2~5のいずれか1項に記載の包装体。
角部は、右面部及び左面部を、それぞれ前面部及び前面部との間における上下方向に交差する方向の内側へ、谷折りに折り畳まれて形成されているので、角部をより容易に指で挟むことができる。したがって、当該角部を指で挟んで第1弱め線を起点に包装袋を引き裂くことによって、より容易に開封することができる。更に、前面部及び後面部の広い範囲に第2弱め線が設けられており、第1弱め線の切込み穴の列方向の長さは、第2弱め線の切込み穴の列方向の長さより長い、又は、前記第1弱め線の間隔の前記列方向の長さに対する切込み穴の前記列方向の長さの比率は、前記第2弱め線の間隔の前記列方向の長さに対する切込み穴の前記列方向の長さの比率より大きいので、運搬の際に第2弱め線が引き裂かれることを防止することができる。
前記第1弱め線が設けられた前記角部において、前記第1弱め線は、前記頂部を挟んだ両側において、前記上下方向に重なっている、態様5又は6に記載の包装体。
第1弱め線が設けられた角部において、第1弱め線は、頂部を挟んだ両側において、上下方向に重なっている。包装体は、角部を指で挟んで引き裂く際の力が分散されないので、包装袋をより容易に引き裂くことができ、結果として容易に開封することができる。
前記第1弱め線は、前記開封予定領域内の前記上下方向の中心より下側に形成されている、態様2~7のいずれか1項に記載の包装体。
第1弱め線は、開封予定領域内の上下方向の中心より下側に形成されているので、把持予定領域の包装袋から第1弱め線へ作用する力が、開封予定領域の包装袋を通じて分散する。したがって、第1弱め線に作用する力が小さくなるため、第1弱め線が運搬の際に引き裂かれることを防止することができる。
前記第1弱め線は、前記開封予定領域内の前記上下方向の中心より上側に形成されている、態様2~7のいずれか1項に記載の包装体。
第1弱め線は、開封予定領域内の上下方向の中心より上側に形成されているので、包装袋に収納されている吸収性物品の位置と重ならない。したがって、包装体が、吸収性物品で膨れた状態であっても、開封予定領域内の包装袋を指で挟んで第1弱め線を起点に包装袋を引き裂くことによって、容易に開封することができる。
前記第1弱め線及び前記第2弱め線の前記上下方向の引っ張り力に対する引張強度は、前記包装袋の突き刺し強度より小さい、態様2~9のいずれか1項に記載の包装体。
第1弱め線及び第2弱め線の前記上下方向の引っ張り力に対する引張強度は、包装袋の突き刺し強度より小さいので、開封時に押し当てた指によって、包装体の表面に穴が開くよりも、第1弱め線及び第2弱め線が優先的に引き裂かれる。したがって、包装体は、第1弱め線及び第2弱め線に沿って包装袋を適切に引き裂くことができるので、より容易に開封することができる。
前記包装袋は、厚さ40μm以上80μm以下のフィルムで形成されている、態様2~10のいずれか1項に記載の包装体。
包装袋は、厚さ40μm以上80μm以下のフィルムで形成されていることによって、所定の強度を有する。そうすると、包装体は、押し当てた指によって包装体の表面が意図せず破れることをより確実に防止することができる。したがって、包装体は、運搬の際の耐久性をより向上することができる。
前記複数の吸収性物品の総重量が800g以上3500g以下である、態様2~11のいずれか1項に記載の包装体。
包装袋は、運搬の際の耐久性を備えることによって、複数の吸収性物品の総重量が800g以上3500g以下である包装体とすることができる。
前記複数の吸収性物品は、二つ折りにされており、折り目が前記上下方向の上側に配置されている、態様2~12のいずれか1項に記載の包装体。
吸収性物品は、一般的に、長手方向を有し、長手方向の略中央に吸収体を含む。吸収体は、吸水性繊維及び高吸収性ポリマー粒子を含み、密度が高い。そのため吸収性物品は、長手方向の中央において二つ折りにした場合、重心が折り目に近い位置となる。したがって、吸収性物品を二つ折りとし、折り目が前記上下方向の上側に包装袋内に配置することによって、包装体の重心位置が上下方向のより上方となる。そうすると上面部を回転中心とする包装体のモーメントは、重心位置がより上方である分だけ小さくなる。したがって運搬の際に、包装体が振られた場合に第1弱め線に作用する力を抑制でき、また、包装体が障害物などに衝突した場合に、第1弱め線に与える衝撃をより小さくすることができる。したがって、包装体は、運搬の際に第1弱め線が引き裂かれることを防止することができる。
前記包装袋は、前記把持予定領域内に取手部を有する、態様2~13のいずれか1項に記載の包装体。
包装袋は把持予定領域内に取手部を有することによって、把持する位置が定まるので、第1弱め線に対し作用する力が安定する。すなわち、第1弱め線に、過大な力が意図せず作用することを防止できる。したがって、包装体は、運搬の際に第1弱め線が引き裂かれることを防止することができる。
前記包装袋は、高剛性部を有し、前記高剛性部は、エンボス加工によって形成され、前記上下方向の位置が前記取手部と前記第1弱め線との間であって、前記上面部の前記上下方向に交差する方向の全域に延びている、態様14に記載の包装体。
包装袋は、高剛性部を有するので、取手部に作用した力が、高剛性部を通じて上面部の上下方向に交差する方向の全域に分散する。すなわち取手部に作用した力を上面部のより広い範囲で吸収することによって、第1弱め線に作用する力を小さくできるので、運搬の際に第1弱め線が引き裂かれることを防止することができる。
前記包装袋は、前記前面部と前記後面部の上側の端部を結合した結合部を更に有し、前記結合部に前記取手部が設けられており、前記取手部は、前記結合部を厚さ方向に切断して形成された開口を有し、前記開口は湾曲状の手提げ部を有する、態様14又は15に記載の包装体。
手提げ部の開口は、湾曲状であるので、包装袋に収納された複数の吸収性物品の重量によって、手提げ部の一部に応力が集中することを避けることができる。すなわち、応力が集中した手提げ部の一部から取手部が破れ、破損してしまうことを抑制することができる。そうすると、開封性を向上する観点から強度が低いシート部材を用いて包装袋を形成した場合でも、取手部の耐久性を維持することができる。したがって、包装体は、運搬の際の耐久性を備えることができる。
前記取手部は、補強フィルムが設けられている、態様14~16のいずれか1項に記載の包装体。
取手部は、補強フィルムが設けられていることによって、強度を向上することができる。そうすると、開封性を向上する観点から強度が低いシート部材を用いて包装袋を形成した場合でも、取手部の耐久性を維持することができる。したがって、包装体は、運搬の際の耐久性を備えることができる。
図8は、実施形態に係る包装体1の製造方法の一例を示す模式図である。この製造方法では、例として、ガゼットタイプの包装体1の製造方法について説明することとする。ただし、本製造方法は、各工程における資材の搬送等において、互いに直交する搬送方向MD、横断方向CD及び厚さ方向TD(図示されず)を有する。
<シート部材>
厚さが50μm、60μm、70μmのポリエチレンのシート部材をそれぞれ用意した。各シート部材に、切り抜き穴の長さと間隔の長さがそれぞれ異なる弱め線を形成した。
<包装体>
厚さ50μmのシート部材を用いて、幅方向の長さが240mm、奥行方向の長さが190mm、高さが340mmの包装袋を形成した。包装袋の内部に、複数の吸収性物品を収納し、2kg~3.5kgまで0.5kg刻みで重量が異なる4種類の包装体を形成した。包装体の上面部は熱融着によって接合すると共に、図1に示したように、取手部と、第1弱め線と、第2弱め線とを形成した。
得られた試料を用いて、引き裂き試験及び引張試験を上記手順に従って行った。また図11に示す落下試験機104を用いて落下試験を行った。落下試験機104は、支柱105と、支柱105に対し上下動可能に保持される腕部106とを備える。腕部106に設けられたフック107に包装体1を吊るし、所定の高さから落下させた場合の、第1弱め線の状態を確認した。落下させる包装体1の高さは、地面から包装体1の底面部16までの距離が60cmの高さとした。各試料の内訳と試験の結果を表1及び表2に示す。表2において、落下試験の結果は、第1弱め線に破れが認められなかった場合「〇」、第1弱め線の切り抜き穴が広がっていた場合「△」、第1弱め線の隣り合う切り抜き穴同士が繋がり破れが認められた場合「×」と表記した。
この結果から、3.5(kg)の重量に対し十分な耐久性を有するには、12.3(N/25mm)が必要であるといえる。したがって、引張強度をA(N/25mm)、吸収性物品2の総重量をB(kg)とすると、A/B≧3.5(N/25mm/kg)の関係式から、(12.3[N/25mm]/3.5[kg])=3.5(N/25mm/kg)より、第1弱め線が3.5(N/25mm/kg)の引張強度を有することによって、包装体は、総重量が3.5(kg)の吸収性物品を搬送する際に必要な耐久性を備えるといえる。
厚さが50μm、60μm、70μmのポリエチレンのシート部材について突き刺し試験を行った結果、いずれも引裂強度を超える突き刺し強度が確認された。
