Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present disclosure relates to absorbent articles for pets. [Background technology]

[0002] As the number of pet owners increases, more pets are kept indoors, and the use of pet absorbent articles such as disposable diapers for pets is also increasing. Furthermore, when taking pets out, people often put pet absorbent articles on them to prevent them from soiling their surroundings.

[0003] For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a belly band-shaped disposable diaper for male dogs. This diaper is designed so that the padding on the main body is placed on the male dog's urinary tract, and the left and right belt sections are attached to the upper part of the dog's waist with adhesive sections on the belt section of the main body while the male dog is still. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0004] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2006-217907 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] In the belly band-shaped disposable diaper for male dogs (absorbent article for pets) described in Patent Document 1, there is a possibility that the absorbent article for pets may rotate along the pet's waist due to vigorous movements such as sitting, standing, and running around, or due to pets' movements such as shaking their bodies to evacuate moisture. If the absorbent article for pets rotates along the pet's waist, the area where the pet urinates may become misaligned with the absorbent body of the absorbent article for pets, which may result in urine leakage.

[0006] On the other hand, if other components are provided to prevent the pet absorbent article from rotating around the pet's body, when putting the pet absorbent article on the pet's body, work such as attaching other components to the pet's body will be required, which will be a hassle for the owner.

[0007] Therefore, an object of the present disclosure is to provide an absorbent article for pets that can prevent urine leakage even when the absorbent article for pets rotates. [Means for solving the problem]

[0015] Hereinafter, an absorbent article for pets according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0016] In this specification, "wearing a pet absorbent article" refers to a state in which the pet absorbent article is wrapped around the body (torso) of a pet animal, regardless of whether it has absorbed bodily fluids or not. The longitudinal direction of a pet absorbent article refers to the direction along the pet's waist (circumferential direction) when the pet absorbent article is worn, which is the direction indicated by arrow X in the figures. The inner side of the longitudinal direction refers to the direction toward the center in the longitudinal direction, and the outer side of the longitudinal direction refers to the direction away from the center in the longitudinal direction. The width direction of a pet absorbent article refers to the direction intersecting (orthogonal to) the longitudinal direction, which is the direction along the front and back of the pet when the pet absorbent article is worn, which is the direction indicated by arrow Y in the figures. The inner side of the width direction refers to the direction toward the center in the width direction, and the outer side of the width direction refers to the direction away from the center in the width direction. The thickness direction of the pet absorbent article refers to the direction intersecting (orthogonal to) both the longitudinal direction and the width direction, the direction in which the components are stacked, and the direction along arrow Z in the figure. The skin side of the pet absorbent article refers to the direction toward the pet's body when the pet absorbent article is worn on the pet, and the non-skin side refers to the direction opposite the skin side in the thickness direction. The front-to-rear direction refers to the front-to-rear direction of the pet when the pet absorbent article is worn. Body fluids mainly refer to urine.

[0017] <Absorbent articles for pets> FIG. 1 is a plan view of a pet absorbent article according to one embodiment of the present invention, where (a) shows a view from the skin side and (b) shows a view from the non-skin side. FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line II-II in FIG. 1. FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line II-II in FIG. 1, showing a modified example. FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram of how the pet absorbent article is worn. Note that FIGS. 2 and 3 show cross sections in a simplified manner. Furthermore, the drawings do not define the relative sizes of the components of the pet absorbent article, and the dimensions of each component can be appropriately selected from a wide range depending on the intended use of the pet absorbent article, the type of pet it will be used with, and other factors. In the following description, the direction indicated by the arrow X in the drawing will be referred to as "one side" in the longitudinal direction, and the side opposite to the direction indicated by the arrow X in the drawing will be referred to as "the other side" in the longitudinal direction. Furthermore, the one side in the longitudinal direction may sometimes be simply referred to as "one side," and the other side in the longitudinal direction may sometimes be simply referred to as "the other side."

[0018] The absorbent article for pets 10 according to one embodiment of the present invention is to be worn around the waist of a pet (for example, a dog, a cat, etc.), and is particularly suitable for use with male pets.

[0019] 1 and 2, the pet absorbent article 10 of this embodiment is an absorbent article that is wrapped around the waist of a pet and is formed long in the direction of the pet's waist (X direction). The pet absorbent article 10 includes a liquid-permeable top sheet 11 on the skin side, a liquid-impermeable back sheet 12 on the non-skin side, an absorbent body 13, front and rear three-dimensional gathers 14, an end seal portion 15, and two hook tapes (a first hook tape 16 and a second hook tape 17). In this embodiment, the shape of the pet absorbent article 10 is substantially rectangular, but is not limited thereto, and the shape of the pet absorbent article 10 may be at least a belt-like shape that can be worn around the waist of a pet.

[0020] (Pet absorbent article dimensions) The length L of the pet absorbent article 10 in the longitudinal direction (X direction) is preferably 370 mm or more and 700 mm or less. The length W of the pet absorbent article 10 in the width direction (Y direction) is preferably 180 mm or more and 350 mm or less. By setting the dimensions of the pet absorbent article 10 within the above ranges, it is possible to obtain a pet absorbent article 10 of a size suitable for pets such as dogs and cats. Furthermore, by setting the dimensions of the pet absorbent article 10 within the above ranges, it is possible to obtain a pet absorbent article 10 that can accommodate pets (such as dogs) with a large waist circumference (thick) and a short torso length.

[0021] (Top sheet) The top sheet 11 may be formed from a liquid-permeable substrate that allows bodily fluids to move to the absorbent body 13. Examples of the substrate for the top sheet 11 include hydrophilic sheets, composite nonwoven fabrics that are laminates of the same or different hydrophilic sheets, apertured films such as apertured polyethylene films, and foamed films such as polyethylene foam and urethane foam. Examples of hydrophilic sheets include air-through nonwoven fabrics, thermobonded nonwoven fabrics, spunlace nonwoven fabrics, and spunbonded nonwoven fabrics made from synthetic fibers made from synthetic resins such as polypropylene and polyethylene, recycled fibers such as rayon, and natural fibers such as cotton. Of these, nonwoven fabrics are preferred, and air-through nonwoven fabrics are more preferred from the standpoint of texture.

[0022] The surface of the top sheet 11 may be embossed or perforated to improve liquid permeability. Any known method can be used for embossing or perforating the top sheet 11 without any restrictions. Furthermore, to reduce irritation to the skin, the top sheet 11 may contain lotion, antioxidants, anti-inflammatory ingredients, pH adjusters, antibacterial agents, moisturizers, etc. The shape of the top sheet 11 is not particularly limited, and may be any shape that covers the absorbent body 13 to guide bodily fluids to the absorbent body 13 without leakage.

[0023] The other longitudinal end of the top sheet 11 is folded back towards the non-skin side to form an end seal portion 15. The end seal portion 15 will be described in detail later.

[0024] (back seat) The backsheet 12 may be formed using a liquid-impermeable substrate to prevent leakage of bodily fluids held in the absorbent body 13 to the non-skin side, and may be formed from a material such as a resin film or a composite sheet formed by laminating a resin film and a nonwoven fabric. Among these, the backsheet 12 is preferably a composite sheet formed by laminating a resin film (film portion) 18 on the skin side and a nonwoven fabric (nonwoven fabric portion) 19 located on the non-skin side of the resin film 18, as shown in Figures 2 and 3. Note that although Figures 2 and 3 illustrate the backsheet 12 formed by a composite sheet formed by laminating the resin film 18 and the nonwoven fabric 19, the backsheet 12 is not limited thereto and may be a backsheet 12 formed of a single resin film, or a backsheet 12 formed by laminating three or more layers of composite sheets.

[0025] Examples of the resin film 18 used in the backsheet 12 include polyester, polyvinyl alcohol, polyethylene, polypropylene, and composite films of polyethylene and polypropylene.

[0026] The nonwoven fabric 19 used in the backsheet 12 may be produced by any method, and examples thereof include spunbond nonwoven fabric, meltblown nonwoven fabric, spunbond nonwoven fabric / meltblown nonwoven fabric, spunbond nonwoven fabric / meltblown nonwoven fabric / spunbond nonwoven fabric (SMS nonwoven fabric), and other composite nonwoven fabrics and composite materials thereof. Of these, SMS nonwoven fabric or spunbond nonwoven fabric is preferred.

[0027] The back sheet 12 is preferably breathable to prevent stuffiness during wear. To provide breathability to the back sheet 12, for example, a filler may be blended into the base resin film 18 or the back sheet 12 may be embossed. An example of the filler is calcium carbonate, and the blending method can be any known method without limitation. For example, a porous (breathable) resin film can be obtained by kneading a resin and a filler, forming the resulting kneaded product into a film, and removing the filler from the resulting film.

[0028] (absorber) The absorbent body 13 is disposed between the top sheet 11 and the back sheet 12 and absorbs and retains bodily fluids that have permeated the top sheet 11 .

[0029] The absorbent body 13 preferably contains absorbent fibers and superabsorbent polymers (hereinafter sometimes referred to as "SAP") as an absorbent base material.

[0030] (absorbent fiber) The absorbent fiber is not particularly limited as long as it is one generally used in absorbent articles such as sanitary napkins, disposable diapers, and urine absorption pads, and examples thereof include fluff pulp, cotton, rayon, acetate, tissue, absorbent paper, and hydrophilic nonwoven fabrics. Among these, fluff pulp is preferred from the viewpoint of absorbency. Examples of fluff pulp include wood pulp (e.g., bleached coniferous kraft pulp (N-BKP) such as southern pine and Douglas fir), synthetic fibers, resin fibers, and cotton-like defibrated materials such as non-wood pulp.

[0031] (Superabsorbent polymer) The SAP is not particularly limited as long as it can absorb body fluids and prevent reflux, and examples thereof include polyacrylates, polyaspartates, (starch-acrylic acid) graft copolymers, (acrylic acid-vinyl alcohol) copolymers, (isobutylene-maleic anhydride) copolymers, and saponified products thereof. Among these, from the viewpoint of absorption per weight, polyacrylates are preferred, alkali metal polyacrylates are more preferred, and sodium polyacrylate is even more preferred. One SAP can be used alone, or two or more SAPs can be used in combination.

[0032] SAP is used in the form of particles, fibers, etc., for example, but is preferably used in the form of particles from the viewpoint of ease of handling, etc. In this case, by avoiding the use of SAP in the form of a fine powder that has poor fluidity as a powder and using SAP with a medium particle size, it is possible to improve basic absorption performance and reduce the rough feel that occurs when the absorbent body 13 hardens.

[0033] The absorbent fibers and SAP in the absorbent body 13 may be in the form of a mixture of absorbent fibers and SAP particles, or may be an SAP sheet with SAP particles fixed between absorbent fibers. Another form of absorbent body 13 is an absorbent sheet containing multiple hydrophilic nonwoven fabrics and SAP fixed between the hydrophilic nonwoven fabrics.

[0034] The other longitudinal end 13a of the absorber 13 is disposed at the other longitudinal end of the pet absorbent article 10. That is, the absorber 13 extends from the other longitudinal end of the pet absorbent article 10 to one side. The one longitudinal end 13b of the absorber 13 of this embodiment is disposed near the other side of a first hook tape 16 (described below) provided on one longitudinal side of the pet absorbent article 10. The shape of the absorber 13 is not particularly limited, and examples include a rectangular shape and an oval shape. The position of the one longitudinal end 13b of the absorber 13 is not limited to the above, but it is preferably disposed at least to one side of the longitudinal center of the pet absorbent article 10.

[0035] (absorbent paper) The entire absorber 13 may be wrapped in absorbent paper (not shown). Any hydrophilic sheet commonly used in this field can be used as the absorbent paper, including, for example, hydrophilic nonwoven fabrics such as thermal-bonded nonwoven fabrics, spun-bonded nonwoven fabrics, air-laid nonwoven fabrics, air-through nonwoven fabrics, and pulp-containing nonwoven fabrics, tissue paper, and absorbent paper. Among hydrophilic nonwoven fabrics, hydrophilic nonwoven fabrics such as thermal-bonded nonwoven fabrics, spun-bonded nonwoven fabrics, air-through nonwoven fabrics, and pulp-containing nonwoven fabrics are more preferred, and tissue paper (crepe paper) and spun-bonded nonwoven fabrics that have been subjected to a hydrophilic treatment as necessary are even more preferred.

[0036] (liquid diffusion sheet) A liquid-permeable liquid diffusion sheet (not shown) may be provided between the top sheet 11 and the absorbent body 13. The liquid diffusion sheet diffuses bodily fluids from the top sheet 11 side and guides them to the absorbent body 13 side. Examples of liquid diffusion sheets include nonwoven fabrics such as air-through nonwoven fabrics, point-bonded nonwoven fabrics, spunbonded nonwoven fabrics, and melt-blown nonwoven fabrics, as well as composite nonwoven fabrics formed by laminating spunbond / melt-blown or spunbond / melt-blown / spunbond. There are no particular restrictions on the shape of the liquid diffusion sheet, but it is preferable that the shape completely covers the surface of the absorbent body 13 in order to ensure that liquids such as urine are thoroughly diffused throughout the absorbent body 13, or it is preferable that the shape does not cover the entire surface in order to reduce costs.

[0037] (Front and back gathers) The front and rear three-dimensional gathers 14 are sheet-like members that prevent lateral leakage (leakage in the front-to-rear direction) of bodily fluids excreted by a pet wearing the pet absorbent article 10. The front and rear three-dimensional gathers 14 are arranged on both sides of the skin-facing side of the top sheet 11 in the width direction, extend in the longitudinal direction, and are fixed to the top sheet 11 in an upright manner. Note that the object to which the three-dimensional gathers 14 are fixed is not limited to the top sheet 11; for example, the three-dimensional gathers 14 may be fixed to the back sheet 12 in addition to the top sheet 11.

[0038] The sheet constituting the three-dimensional gathers 14 is a liquid-impermeable sheet that is water-repellent and / or waterproof, and is made of, for example, a nonwoven fabric. The nonwoven fabric used here is not particularly limited to any water-repellent and / or waterproof (liquid-impermeable) nonwoven fabric made of hydrophobic fibers, and examples thereof include spunbond nonwoven fabric, meltblown nonwoven fabric, composite nonwoven fabric (SMS nonwoven fabric) which is a spunbond nonwoven fabric / meltblown nonwoven fabric / spunbond nonwoven fabric laminate, and composite nonwoven fabric (SMMS nonwoven fabric) which is a spunbond nonwoven fabric / meltblown nonwoven fabric / meltblown nonwoven fabric / spunbond nonwoven fabric laminate. Of these, SMS nonwoven fabric is preferred.

[0039] Elastic stretchable members (not shown) may be provided on the front and rear three-dimensional gathers 14. The elastic stretchable members may be arranged along the longitudinal direction on the free end sides of the front and rear three-dimensional gathers 14 to impart standing ability to the front and rear three-dimensional gathers 14. As the elastic stretchable members, thread-, string- or strip-shaped members made of, for example, natural rubber, synthetic rubber, polyurethane or the like may be used as appropriate.

[0040] (Front and back side gathers) Front and rear side gathers (not shown) may be provided along the longitudinal direction at both widthwise ends of the pet absorbent article 10. The front and rear side gathers provide stretchability to both widthwise ends of the pet absorbent article 10, improving the fit to the pet's body.

[0041] (end seal part) As shown in FIG. 2 , the end seal portion 15 is provided at the other longitudinal end of the pet absorbent article 10 and covers the other end of the pet absorbent article 10. The end seal portion 15 seals the gap (the portion where the absorbent 13 is disposed) between the portion of the top sheet 11 that forms the skin-facing side of the pet absorbent article 10 and the back sheet 12 from the other side. The end seal portion 15 is formed by folding back the other end of the top sheet 11 toward the back sheet 12. The area of ​​the top sheet 11 that is folded back toward the back sheet 12 is fixed to the non-skin-facing side of the back sheet 12. In this embodiment, the other end of the back sheet 12 is not folded back, and the end seal portion 15 covers the other end faces of both the absorbent 13 and the back sheet 12 from the other side.

[0042] In this embodiment, the other end of the back sheet 12 is not folded back, but this is not limiting. For example, as shown in Fig. 3, the other end of the top sheet 11 may be folded back to the non-skin side together with the other end 12a of the back sheet 12 and fixed to the non-skin side of the absorbent article for pet 10.

[0043] (1st hook tape) The first hook tape (first fastening portion) 16 is a detachable portion for fastening both longitudinal ends of the pet absorbent article 10 to each other when putting the pet absorbent article 10 on a pet, and is provided on the skin-facing side of one longitudinal end of the pet absorbent article 10. In this embodiment, the first hook tape 16 is a hook tape that extends along the width direction and is fixed to the skin-facing side of the top sheet 11 at one longitudinal end of the pet absorbent article 10. The first hook tape 16 is a hook tape that has a plurality of hooks (not shown) on its skin-facing side and is detachable from the back sheet 12 (the nonwoven fabric 19 of the back sheet 12 in this embodiment). By using the hook tape (first hook tape 16) as the first fastening portion, unlike when the first fastening portion is an adhesive layer or pressure-sensitive adhesive tape, it is easy to re-attach and the waist length of the pet absorbent article 10 can be easily adjusted. Note that the "hook tape" is also sometimes referred to as a "mechanical hook tape" or "mechanical tape."

[0044] When using a hook tape as the first fastening part as in this embodiment, a loop material or the like may be fixed to a position corresponding to the hook tape (the non-skin side of the backsheet 12). The first fastening part is not limited to the hook tape, and may be, for example, an adhesive layer made of a hot melt adhesive or a pressure-sensitive adhesive tape. The shape of the first fastening part is not particularly limited.

[0045] (Second hook tape) The second hook tape (second fastening portion) 17 is a detachable portion for fastening both longitudinal ends of the pet absorbent article 10 to each other when putting the pet absorbent article 10 on a pet, and is provided on the non-skin side of the other longitudinal end of the pet absorbent article 10. In this embodiment, the second hook tape 17 is a hook tape that extends along the width direction, and is fixed to the non-skin side (the non-skin side of the folded-back region) of the end seal portion 15 at the other longitudinal end of the pet absorbent article 10. The second hook tape 17 is a hook tape that has a plurality of hooks (not shown) on its non-skin side, and is detachable from the top sheet 11. By using the hook tape (second hook tape 17) as the second fastening portion, it is easy to reattach and the waist length of the pet absorbent article 10 can be easily adjusted, unlike when the second fastening portion is an adhesive layer or pressure-sensitive adhesive tape. The second fastening part is not limited to the hook tape, and may be, for example, an adhesive layer made of a hot melt adhesive or the like, or a pressure-sensitive adhesive tape. The second hook tape 17 may be fixed to a position (on the backsheet 12) away from the end seal part 15. The shape of the first fastening part is not particularly limited.

[0046] (How to use) Next, we will explain an example of how to use the pet absorbent article 10. Note that the following method of using the pet absorbent article 10 is just one example, and the pet absorbent article 10 can also be used in other ways.

[0047] Figure 4 is an explanatory diagram of how to put on a pet absorbent article, with (a) showing the pet absorbent article positioned below the pet's waist, (b) showing the left side of the pet absorbent article wrapped around the pet's waist, (c) showing the right side of the pet absorbent article being wrapped around the pet's waist, and (d) showing the completed state of putting on the pet absorbent article. In Figure 4, arrow F indicates the front side (head side) of the pet. For ease of understanding, absorbent body 13 is shown in solid lines in Figure 4.

[0048] As shown in Figure 4, when putting the pet absorbent article 10 on the pet P, the pet absorbent article 10 is put around the waist of the pet P so that the longitudinal direction of the pet absorbent article 10 is the circumferential direction of the waist of the pet P and the width direction is the front-to-back direction of the pet P.

[0049] Specifically, when putting on the pet absorbent article 10, first, as shown in Fig. 4(a), the pet absorbent article 10 is placed below the waist of the pet P with the top sheet 11 of the pet absorbent article 10 facing the skin of the pet P. At this time, the pet absorbent article 10 is placed so as to cover the urination area of ​​the pet P from below.

[0050] Next, as shown in FIG. 4(b), the other side of the absorbent article for pet 10 in the longitudinal direction (the left side in the figure) is lifted and wrapped around the pet P's waist.

[0051] Next, as shown in Figure 4(c), one longitudinal side (the right side in the figure) of the pet absorbent article 10 is lifted and wrapped around the waist of the pet P. At this time, one side of the pet absorbent article 10 is wrapped so as to overlap the other side that has been wrapped previously. Then, the top sheet 11 on one side of the pet absorbent article 10 is fastened to the second hook tape 17 at the end of the other side of the pet absorbent article 10 that has been wrapped previously.

[0052] Finally, as shown in Figure 4(d), the first hook tape 16 at one end of the pet absorbent article 10 is fastened to the non-skin side of the back sheet 12 on the other side. This allows the pet absorbent article 10 to be worn around the waist of the pet P. In this state, the second hook tape 17 at the other end of the pet absorbent article 10 is covered by one side of the pet absorbent article 10 that has been wrapped around from above.

[0053] In the pet absorbent article 10 configured as described above, the absorber 13 extends from the end of the other side of the pet absorbent article 10 to one side. Therefore, as described above, by wrapping the other side of the pet absorbent article 10 before the one side, the end of the other side of the absorber 13 is positioned on the other side of the boundary where one side of the pet absorbent article 10 overlaps. Furthermore, by appropriately setting the length of the absorber 13 toward one side, the absorber 13 can also be positioned on one side of the boundary where one side of the pet absorbent article 10 overlaps. This allows the absorber 13 to be positioned around the entire circumferential area around the pet's waist when the pet absorbent article 10 is worn on the pet. Since the absorber 13 can be positioned around the entire circumferential area around the pet's waist in this way, even if the pet absorbent article 10 rotates due to the pet's movements, the absorber 13 can always be positioned below the pet's urination area to absorb urine.

[0054] Therefore, according to this embodiment, even if the absorbent article for pet 10 rotates, the occurrence of urine leakage can be suppressed.

[0055] Furthermore, since the absorbent body 13 can be arranged over the entire circumferential area around the pet's waist, a large amount of absorption can be ensured by the absorbent body 13, unlike when the absorbent body 13 is provided in only a partial circumferential area around the pet's waist. This reduces the number of times the pet absorbent article 10 needs to be replaced.

[0056] Furthermore, because the absorbent body 13 can be arranged around the entire circumferential area around the pet's waist, there is no need to worry about the circumferential rotation position (rotation angle) of the pet absorbent article 10 when it is worn. Therefore, the position of the step at one end of the pet absorbent article 10 when worn can be positioned in a place that is less noticeable on the pet (such as the side or below the waist), rather than in a conspicuous position on the back. This can improve the appearance of the pet absorbent article 10 when worn.

[0057] Furthermore, since the absorbent article for pets 10 is fastened at two fastening points (first hook tape 16 and second hook tape 17), unlike when fastened at one point, it is possible to prevent the absorbent article for pets 10 from coming off or becoming loose when the pet moves around vigorously.

[0058] Furthermore, by forming the backsheet 12 as a composite sheet by laminating a resin film (film portion) 18 on the skin side and a nonwoven fabric (nonwoven fabric portion) 19 located on the non-skin side of the resin film 18, the nonwoven fabric 19 of the backsheet 12 is exposed to the outside when worn. This improves the feel of the non-skin side of the backsheet 12 against the skin.

[0059] Furthermore, by making the back sheet 12 a composite sheet having a resin film (film portion) 18 on the skin side and a nonwoven fabric (nonwoven fabric portion) 19 on the non-skin side of the resin film 18, the nonwoven fabric 19 is exposed to the outside when worn, giving it a clothing-like appearance and a pleasing appearance. This allows the pet absorbent article 10 to be worn as a fashion accessory in addition to its original purpose, thereby reducing prejudice against the pet absorbent article 10.

[0060] Furthermore, by fixing the second hook tape 17 to the non-skin side of the end seal portion 15 (the non-skin side of the folded-over area), the pet absorbent article 10 can be adjusted to an appropriate length and wrapped around the pet's waist, and the pet absorbent article 10 that has been wrapped around the pet's waist is less likely to come off.

[0061] Although the present invention has been described above based on the above embodiment, the present invention is not limited to the content of the above embodiment, and can be modified as appropriate without departing from the scope of the present invention. In other words, all other embodiments, examples, operational techniques, etc. made by those skilled in the art based on this embodiment are naturally included in the scope of the present invention.
