[0037] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0038] Example 1: Figure 1 to Figure 4 Referring to the figure, the disposable wearing article 10 of the present invention and the method for manufacturing the same will be described.

[0039] Figure 1 (a) is a front view of the disposable wearing article 10 of Example 1; Figure 1 (b) is the back view. Figure 2 It is along Figure 1 (a) is a cross-sectional view taken along line AA. Figure 3 It is a perspective view of the main part of the wearing article 10.

[0040] like Figure 1 (a) Figure 1 (b) Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in the disposable wearing article 10, the two end portions 12a, 12b, 14a, 14b of the front piece 12 and the back piece 14 are respectively connected to each other via a pair of first connecting parts 20a, 20b, the two end portions of the crotch portion 16 are connected to the front piece 12 and the back piece 14, and the crotch portion 16 is folded back at the middle position 17.

[0041] The front sheet 12 and the back sheet 14 may also be configured to be non-stretchable, for example, they may be configured to be stretchable by using a stretchable composite sheet formed by arranging elastic components between non-woven fabric sheets and combining the non-woven fabric sheets and the elastic components at appropriate locations. Figure 1 (a) and Figure 1 (b) or a further folded state is packaged and provided to consumers.

[0042] The front sheet 12 is disposed on the abdomen side of the wearer when worn, and the back sheet 14 is disposed on the back side of the wearer when worn. When a space is provided between the front sheet 12 and the back sheet 14, a waist opening is formed along the upper edge 12p of the front sheet 12 and the upper edge 14p of the back sheet 14, and a pair of leg openings are formed on both sides of the crotch portion 16.

[0043] The first binding sites 20a, 20b, such as Figure 3 As shown, by intermittently heat-sealing the front sheet 12 and the back sheet 14, a plurality of heat-sealed portions 20s extending obliquely toward the upper edge 12p and the lower edge 12q of the front sheet 12 are arranged at intervals.

[0044] On the front panel 12, a pair of tear guide lines 24a, 24b are formed with a space between the first joint portions 20a, 20b, and a pair of wing members 18a, 18b are arranged so as to straddle the tear guide lines 24a, 24b.

[0045] The pair of wing members 18a, 18b have a first portion 18p at the root side and a second portion 18q at the front end side, and are arranged so that the second portions 18q face each other, and the first portion 18p and the front sheet 12 are connected to each other via second connection portions 22a, 22b. Figure 3 As shown, the second bonding portions 22a, 22b are formed by heat sealing, ultrasonic bonding or the like so as to extend continuously between the first bonding portions 20a, 20b and the tear guide lines 24a, 24b adjacent to each other.

[0046] The second part 18q of the wing parts 18a and 18b has a fastening part, which is configured to be fastened to one main surface 12s of the front sheet 12 in a detachable manner. For example, the fastening part is a hook part 19a and 19b of a Velcro tape, which is mounted on the second part 18q of the wing parts 18a and 18b in a manner opposite to one main surface 12s of the front sheet 12; as a result, the hook surface 19s of the hook part 19a and 19b is engaged with one main surface 12s of the front sheet 12, so that the hook part 19a and 19b can be fastened to one main surface 12s of the front sheet 12 in a detachable manner. The fastening part can be configured using components such as an adhesive sheet, a hook, and a button.

[0047] A pair of tear guide lines 24a, 24b are formed to extend between the upper edge 12p and the lower edge 12q of the front panel 12, and pass through between the second joint portions 22a, 22b of the wing members 18a, 18b and the hook members 19a, 19b, respectively.

[0048] The tear guide lines 24a, 24b are formed so that the tear strength of the tear guide lines 24a, 24b is lower than the tear strength of the front panel 12 in the portion where the tear guide lines 24a, 24b are not formed. As a result, when both sides of the tear guide lines 24a, 24b of the front panel 12 are pulled in opposite directions, the front panel 12 is torn along the tear guide lines 24a, 24b, but is not torn in the portion where the tear guide lines 24a, 24b are not formed.

[0049] like Figure 3 As shown, the tear guide lines 24a, 24b are linear holes with a plurality of penetrating portions 24s, which penetrate between the main surface 12s on one side and the main surface 12t on the other side of the front panel 12. The tear guide lines 24a, 24b of the linear holes can be easily formed, and can also be formed by forming non-penetrating slits on the front panel 12 or removing part of the material of the front panel 12.

[0050] The tear guide lines 24a, 24b and the second joints 22a, 22b are formed so that the tear strength of the tear guide lines 24a, 24b is lower than the tear strength of the second joints 22a, 22b. As a result, when the portion between the pair of tear guide lines 24a, 24b of the front sheet 12 and any one of the wing members 18a, 18b are pulled in a direction away from each other, the wing members 18a, 18b will not be detached from the front sheet 12, but the front sheet 12 can be completely torn apart along the tear guide lines 24a, 24b.

[0051] In addition, preferably, the tear guide lines 24a, 24b and the first joints 20a, 20b are formed so that the tear strength of the tear guide lines 24a, 24b is lower than the tear strength of the first joints 20a, 20b joining the front sheet 12 and the back sheet 14. As a result, when the portion between the pair of tear guide lines 24a, 24b of the front sheet 12 and the back sheet 14 are pulled in a direction away from each other, the front sheet 12 and the back sheet 14 will not be separated at the first joints 20a, 20b, but the front sheet 12 can be completely torn apart along the tear guide lines 24a, 24b.

[0052] Assume that the tear strength of the tear guide lines 24a and 24b is F fThe tear strength of the front sheet in the portion where the tear guide lines 24a and 24b are not formed is F0, the tear strength of the first connecting portion 20a and 20b is F1, and the tear strength of the second connecting portion 22a and 22b is F2. The structure satisfies the following formulas 1 and 2, and is preferably structured to satisfy formula 3. F f <F 0 (Formula 1) F f <F2(Formula 2) F f <F1(Formula 3)

[0053] The tear strength was measured in accordance with JIS L 1096C method (trapezoidal method).

[0054] The tear strength of the tear guide lines 24a and 24b is measured in the following manner: a sample of the front panel 12 of a specified size is prepared so that the tear guide lines 24a and 24b are located in the center of the long side direction of the sample; then, with the tear guide lines 24a and 24b arranged between the fixed side clamp and the movable side clamp of the test device, a tear test is carried out according to the specified conditions (specified clamp spacing, specified tensile speed), and the maximum strength [Kgf (N)] displayed during tearing is measured and expressed as the average value of three measurements.

[0055] For example, assuming that the width of the blade forming the linear perforations is W (mm) and the gap size between adjacent linear perforations is D (mm), the tear strength of the tear guide lines 24a and 24b is shown in Table 1 below. [Table 1] W(mm) D(mm) <![CDATA[F 0(N)]]> 2.5 1.0 3.38 3.5 1.0 3.52 2.5 5.O 5.61

[0056] The tear strength of the front panel in the portion where the tear guide lines 24a, 24b are not formed is measured in the following manner: a sample of the front panel 12 of a specified size that does not include the tear guide lines 24a, 24b is prepared, and a tear test is performed under specified conditions while the sample is clamped by a fixed side clamp and a movable side clamp of a test device. The maximum strength displayed during tearing is measured and expressed as an average value of three measurements.

[0057] The tearing strength of the first joint 20a, 20b is measured in the following manner: a sample of a specified size is prepared with a front piece 12 and a rear piece 14 arranged on both sides so that the first joint 20a, 20b is located in the center of the long side direction of the sample; then, the first joint 20a, 20b is arranged between the fixed side clamp and the movable side clamp of the test device, and the front piece 12 of the sample is clamped by any one of the fixed side clamp and the movable side clamp, and the rear piece 14 of the sample is clamped by the other; in this state, a tearing test is carried out under the specified conditions, and the maximum strength displayed during tearing is measured, and expressed as the average value of three measurements.

[0058] The tearing strength of the second joint 22a, 22b is measured in the following manner: a sample of specified dimensions is prepared with the front panel 12 and the wing parts 18a, 18b arranged on both sides so that the second joints 20a, 20b are located in the center of the long side direction of the sample; then, the second joints 22a, 22b are arranged between the fixed side clamp and the movable side clamp of the test device; the front panel 12 of the sample is clamped by any one of the fixed side clamp and the movable side clamp, and the wing parts 18a, 18b of the sample are clamped by the other; in this state, a tearing test is carried out under specified conditions, and the maximum strength displayed during tearing is measured and expressed as an average value of three measurements.

[0059] For example, suppose Figure 3 The sealing width of the heat-sealed portion 20s is W (mm), and the tear strength of the first bonding portions 20a and 20b is shown in Table 2 below. [Table 2] W(mm) <![CDATA[F1(N)]]> 5.0 12.67 3.0 6.83 2.0 5.24

[0060] like Figure 4 As shown, the manufacturing method of the disposable wearing article 10 of the present invention will be described below.

[0063] The main body connection part 11 can be formed by a well-known method, for example, a plurality of elastic members 12i, 14i are arranged between sheets such as nonwoven fabrics in the front sheet connection part 12k and the back sheet connection part 14k, and the sheets such as nonwoven fabrics and the elastic members 12i, 14i are combined with each other at appropriate positions, and then the elastic members 12i, 14i are transmitted in a stretched state. An absorbent 18 for absorbing and retaining liquids such as menstrual blood and / or urine may be pre-arranged on the main body connection part 11, or it may not be arranged.

[0064] (ii) Step 2: In addition, while conveying the substrate connecting portion 30 for forming the first and second wing parts 18a, 18b and the hook connecting portions 32, 34 for forming the hook parts 19a, 19b, they are combined with each other and cut into a specified shape to form the first and second wing parts 18a, 18b respectively having the hook parts 19a, 19b.

[0065] The first and second wing members 18a and 18b may be formed in various forms.

[0066] First, the base material connecting portion 30 and the first and second hook connecting portions 32 and 34 forming the first and second hook members 19a and 19b of the hook and loop fastener are conveyed in respective connecting directions.

[0067] Then, on the base material connection part 30, the first and second hook connection parts 32 and 34 are joined together with a space between them along a pair of side edges 30m and 30n of the base material connection part 30, thereby forming the first connection part 30a. At this time, the first and second hook connection parts 32 and 34 are joined together with the base material connection part 30 by an appropriate method such as bonding, heat sealing, ultrasonic bonding, sewing, etc., so that the hook surface is exposed.

[0068] Then, for the first connecting portion 30a, the cutting portions 30p and 30q of a specified shape shown by the dotted lines are cut off along a pair of side edges 30m and 30n of the substrate connecting portion 30 to form the second connecting portion 30b, which has hook parts 19a and 19b formed by cutting off the first and second hook connecting portions 32 and 34.

[0069] Next, the second connection portion 30b is divided between the opposing hook members 19a and 19b to form a pair of third connection portions 31a and 31b having outer edges 31m and 31n formed by the division.

[0070] Then, a pair of third connecting parts 31a, 31b are cut off at the specified position 31x indicated by the dotted line to form the first and second wing parts 18a, 18b having hook parts 19a, 19b. After the first and second wing parts 18a, 18b are paired, the orientation relative to the conveying direction is changed as shown by the arrow 31u.

[0071] In addition, as shown in a second modification described later, the first and second wing members 18a and 18b may be formed without changing their orientations with respect to the conveying direction.

[0072] (iii) Step 3: Overlap the first and second wing members 18a, 18b with one main surface 12s of the front piece connection portion 12k in the main body connection portion 11; then, combine the first and second wing members 18a, 18b with the front piece connection portion 12k in the main body connection portion 11 to form second connection portions 22a, 22b.

[0073] At this time, between the second joint portions 22a, 22b of each of the pair of wing members 18a, 18b and the wing members 19a, 19b, any one of the first and second tear guide lines 24a, 24b is arranged so that the wing members 18a, 18b cross any one of the first and second tear guide lines 24a, 24b. The second joint portions 22a, 22b are formed by heat sealing, ultrasonic bonding, or the like.

[0074] (Iv) Step 4: As shown by arrow 11x, the main connecting portion 11 is folded back, and the rear piece connecting portion 14k in the main connecting portion 11 is overlapped with the other side main surface 12t of the front piece connecting portion 12k in the main connecting portion 11; then, the front piece connecting portion 12k and the rear piece connecting portion 14k in the main connecting portion 11 are combined together to form the first combining portion 20a, 20b.

[0075] The first combining parts 22a, 22b are formed on both sides of the boundary line of the single-piece part 11k in the main connecting part 11 by heat sealing, ultrasonic bonding or the like; the front piece connecting part 12k and the rear piece connecting part 14k can also be combined with each other so that the first combining parts 20a, 20b are connected and cross the boundary line of the single-piece part 11k.

[0076] (v) Step 5: Cutting the main connecting portion 11 to form the single piece; in the single piece, a pair of the first connecting portions 20a, 20b connect the two end portions 12a, 12b, 14a, 14b of the front piece 12 and the rear piece 14 together, and a pair of the second connecting portions 22a, 22b connect the front piece 12 and the first and second wing parts 18a, 18b together.

[0077] In step 1 of (i), the first and second tear guide lines 24a, 24b are formed so that the tear strength of the first and second tear guide lines 24a, 24b is lower than the tear strength of the front panel connection portion 12k in the portion where the first and second tear guide lines 24a, 24b are not formed.

[0078] Furthermore, in the step (iii) 3, the second joint portions 22a and 22b are formed so that the tear strength of the first and second tear guide lines 24a and 24b is lower than the tear strength of the second joint portions 22a and 22b.

[0079] Thus, the present invention can continuously and efficiently manufacture disposable wearing articles 10 that can be completely torn along the tear guide lines 24a, 24b.

[0080] Furthermore, since the elastic members 12i, 14i of the front sheet connecting portion 12k and the back sheet connecting portion 14k are released from their stretched state by being cut, the front sheet 12 and the back sheet 14 of the wearing article 10 are in a contracted state after being cut.

[0081] In the step (iv) 4, the first connecting parts 20a and 20b may be formed so that the tear strength of the first and second tear guide lines 24a and 24b is lower than the tear strength of the first connecting parts 20a and 20b.

[0082] In this case, a disposable wearing article 10 can be manufactured in which the front sheet 12 and the back sheet 14 will not be separated at the first joining portions 20a, 20b, but the front sheet 12 can be completely torn apart along the tear guide lines 24a, 24b.

[0083] In the step (iii) 3, the first and second wing members 18a and 18b may be temporarily fixed after being overlapped with one main surface 12s of the front sheet connecting portion 12k in the main body connecting portion 11.

[0084] In this case, (a) after the first and second wing parts 18a, 18b are overlapped with one main surface 12s of the front piece connection part 12k in the main body connection part 11, in order to arrange adhesive coating parts 36a, 36b between the first and second wing parts 18a, 18b and the front piece connection part 12k in the main body connection part 11, adhesive is applied on the front piece connection part 12k in the main body connection part 11, the substrate connection part 30 or the first and second wing parts 18a, 18b to form the adhesive coating parts 36a, 36b; (b) in the step 3, after the first and second wing parts 18a, 18b are overlapped with one main surface 12s of the front piece connection part 12k in the main body connection part 11 via the adhesive coating parts 36a, 36b, they are temporarily fixed to form the second connecting parts 22a, 22b.

[0085] For example, Figure 4 As shown, on the main surface of a pair of third connecting parts 31a, 31b on the same side as the first and second hook parts 19a, 19b, an adhesive such as hot melt adhesive is applied along the outer edges 31m, 31n to form adhesive coating parts 36a, 36b; in order to configure tear guide lines 24a, 24b between the adhesive coating parts 36a, 36b and the hook parts 19a, 19b, the first and second wing parts 18a, 18b are temporarily fixed after being overlapped with the main surface 12s of one side of the front piece connecting part 12k in the main body connecting part 11.

[0086] Alternatively, an adhesive such as hot melt adhesive may be applied to appropriate portions of the front piece connection portion 12k, the substrate connection portion 30, the first connection portion 30a, the second connection portion 30b, or the pair of wing parts 18a, 18b after being cut in the main body connection portion 11 to form adhesive application portions 36a, 36b to replace the pair of third connection portions 31a, 31b.

[0087] By temporarily fixing the first and second wing members 18a and 18b, the conveying speed of the production line can be increased compared to the case where the temporary fixing is not performed, and the number of products produced per unit time can be easily increased.

[0088] Example 2: Figure 5 to Figure 7 As shown, when observing from the direction perpendicular to the main surface 12s of the front piece 12, the disposable wearing article 10 and the manufacturing method thereof of the embodiment 2 in which the first binding part 20p, 20q overlaps with the second binding part 22p, 22q are described. The construction of the embodiment 2 is basically the same as that of the embodiment 1. The same symbols as those of the embodiment 1 will be used for the components identical to the embodiment 1 below, and the differences from the embodiment 1 will be described as the center.

[0089] Figure 5 (a) is a front view of a disposable wearing article 10a of Example 2; Figure 5 (b) is the back view. Figure 7 It is along Figure 5 (a) is a cross-sectional view taken along line BB.

[0090] like Figure 5 (a) Figure 5 (b) and Figure 7 As shown, the disposable wearing article 10a of the second embodiment is the same as the first embodiment, and the wing members 18a and 18b are attached to the front panel 12 so as to cross the tear guide lines 24a and 24b formed on the front panel 12.

[0091] When viewed from a direction perpendicular to the main surface 12s of the front sheet 12, the first joints 20p and 20q that join the front sheet 12 and the rear sheet 14 together overlap with the second joints 22p and 22q that join the wing members 18a and 18b to the front sheet 12. Since the first joints 20p and 20q overlap with the second joints 22p and 22q, the first joints 20p and 20q and the second joints 22p and 22q can be formed at the same time.

[0092] Figure 6 Schematic diagram of the manufacturing process of the disposable wearing article 10a. Figure 6 As shown, a method for manufacturing the disposable wearing article 10a will be described below.

[0093] The method for producing the disposable wearing article 10a includes the following steps 1 to 4.

[0094] like Figure 6 As shown, (i) Step 1: forming the main body connecting portion 11 and conveying it in the direction indicated by the arrow. Specifically, forming the main body connecting portion 11, in the main body connecting portion 11, connecting together the portion 11k to be a single piece, the portion 11k to be a single piece including the front piece 12 formed with the first and second tear guide lines 24a, 24b, the back piece 14, and the crotch portion 16 combined with the front piece 12 and the back piece 14; then, conveying is performed in a state where the front piece connecting portion 12k connected to the portion of the front piece 12 and the back piece connecting portion 14k connected to the portion of the back piece 14 are separated from each other.

[0095] Step 2: Using the substrate connecting portion 30 and the hook connecting portion 35 to form the wing component 18c before segmentation; that is, while conveying the substrate connecting portion 30 for forming the first and second wing components 18a, 18b and the hook connecting portions 32, 34 for forming the hook components 19a, 19b, they are combined together and cut into a specified shape to form the wing component 18c before segmentation; in the wing component 18c before segmentation, the first and second wing components 18a, 18b having the hook components 19a, 19b, respectively, are connected together.

[0096] In detail, the base connecting portion 30 and the hook connecting portion 35 are transported in the direction indicated by the arrow.

[0097] A slit is formed at the middle position in the width direction of the hook connecting portion 35 using the slitting device 80; then, the first and second hook connecting portions 32 and 34 are formed.

[0098] Next, the first and second hook connecting portions 32 and 34 are cut into predetermined lengths using the cutting slide 82, and then the paired hook members 19a and 19b are sequentially formed, and the paired hook members 19a and 19b are bonded to one main surface 30s of the base material connecting portion 30 with a gap in the conveying direction, thereby forming the wing connecting portion 31. At this time, the surfaces of the hook members 19a and 19b on the opposite side to the hook surface are bonded to one main surface 30s of the base material connecting portion 30 along the side edges 30m and 30n of the base material connecting portion 30. Although not shown, before bonding the hook members 19a and 19b, for example, an adhesive is applied to predetermined positions of the base material connecting portion 30 and / or the hook members 19a and 19b.

[0099] Next, the pin embossing device 84 is used to strengthen the bonding between the base material connecting portion 30 of the flap connecting portion 31 and the hook members 19a, 19b.

[0100] The wing connecting portion 31 is cut at a predetermined position between the hook members 19a and 19b adjacent to each other in the conveying direction by the cutting and turning device 88 to form the wing member 18c before being divided. Then, the wing member 18c before being divided is conveyed while being rotated 90 degrees relative to the conveying direction. The cutting and turning device 88 conveys the wing connecting portion 31 while supporting the other main surface of the base material connecting portion 30.

[0101] The wing member 18c before segmentation may also be formed by other methods. Figure 1The same as the embodiment 1 shown, the base material connecting part 30, the first and second hook connecting parts 32, 34 are combined and processed to form the second connecting part 30b having the hook parts 19a, 19b; then, unlike the embodiment 1, the second connecting part 30b is not divided into a pair of third connecting parts 31a, 31b, but the second connecting part 30b is cut at a specified position to form the wing part 18c before division, and then the direction of the wing part 18c before division is changed; the wing part 18c before division has the first and second hook parts 19a, 19b facing each other, and the first parts 18p of the first and second wing parts 18a, 18b are connected to each other.

[0102] In this case, when forming the wing member 18c before division, the first and second hook connection portions 32 and 34 of the second connection portion 30b are cut simultaneously with the base material connection portion 30, so the blade used for cutting is easily worn.

[0103] like Figure 6 As shown, if the first and second hook connection parts 32, 34 and the base material connection part 30 of the hook connection part 31 are cut by using respective devices 82, 88, it is possible to cut efficiently compared to the case where both are cut at the same time, and it is easier to increase the conveying speed and improve the production efficiency. In addition, the present invention can suppress the wear of the cutting blade used for cutting, and realize the efficient use of the production line.

[0104] Step 3: Overlap the wing member 18c before the splitting with one main surface 12s of the front piece connection part 12k in the main body connection part 11, and overlap the back piece connection part 14k in the main body connection part 11 with the other main surface 12t of the front piece connection part 12k in the main body connection part 11; then, the wing member 18c before the splitting and the front piece connection part 12k and the back piece connection part 14k in the main body connection part 11 that overlap with each other are combined to form the first combined parts 20p and 20q that combine the front piece connection part 12k and the back piece connection part 14k in the main body connection part 11; and the second combined parts 22p and 22q that combine the wing member 18c before the splitting with the front piece connection part 12k in the main body connection part 11.

[0105] At this time, in order to make the boundary line 18k between the opposite pair of first and second hook parts 19a, 19b of the wing part 18c before division coincide with the boundary line of the part 11k that becomes a single piece in the main connecting part 11, the wing part 18c before division is overlapped with a main surface 12s of the front piece connecting part 12k in the main connecting part 11; then, a pair of first and second tear guide lines 24a, 24b formed on the front piece connecting part 12k in the main connecting part 11 are set between the hook parts 19a, 19b of the wing part 18c before division.

[0106] In process 3, sub-process 1 of overlapping the wing part 18c before division with the main surface 12s of one side of the front piece connection part 12k in the main body connection part 11 can be performed before sub-process 2 of overlapping the rear piece connection part 14k in the main body connection part 11 with the main surface 12t of the other side of the front piece connection part 12k in the main body connection part 11, or can be performed after sub-process 2 or simultaneously with sub-process 2.

[0107] Step 4: Cut off the wing parts 18c and the main body connecting part 11 before being divided, so as to form the single piece; in the single piece, a pair of the first connecting parts 20p, 20q connect the two end parts 12a, 12b, 14a, 14b of the front piece 12 and the rear piece 14 together, and a pair of the second connecting parts 22p, 22q connect the front piece 12 and the wing parts 18a, 18b together.

[0108] In step 1 of (i), the first and second tear guide lines 24a, 24b are formed so that the tear strength of the first and second tear guide lines 24a, 24b is lower than the tear strength of the front panel connection portion 12k in the portion where the first and second tear guide lines 24a, 24b are not formed.

[0109] In the step (iii) 3, the second joint portions 22p and 22q are formed so that the tear strength of the first and second tear guide lines 24a and 24b is lower than the tear strength of the second joint portions 22p and 22q.

[0110] As a result, disposable wearing articles 10 that can be completely torn apart along tear guide lines 24a, 24b can be manufactured continuously and efficiently; the first joint portions 20p, 20q that join the front panel 12 and the back panel 14 together and the second joint portions 22p, 22q that join the front panel 12 and the wing parts 18a, 18b together can be formed simultaneously, thereby simplifying the manufacturing process.

[0111] In the step (iii) 3, the first connecting parts 20p and 20q may be formed so that the tear strength of the first and second tear guide lines 24a and 24b is lower than the tear strength of the first connecting parts 20p and 20q.

[0112] In this case, a disposable wearing article 10a can be manufactured in which the front sheet 12 and the back sheet 14 will not be separated at the first joining portions 20p and 20q, and the front sheet 12 can be completely torn apart along the tear guide lines 24a and 24b.

[0113] In the step (iii) 3, the wing members 18a and 18b before being divided may be overlapped with one main surface 12s of the front sheet connection part 12k in the main body connection portion 11 to be temporarily fixed.

[0114] In this case, (a) after the wing part 18c before division is overlapped with the one side main surface 12s of the front piece connection part 12k in the main body connection part 11, in order to configure an adhesive coating part between the wing part 18c before division and the front piece connection part 12k in the main body connection part 11, adhesive is applied to the front piece connection part 12k in the main body connection part 11, the substrate connection part 30 or the wing part 18c before division to form the adhesive coating part; (b) in the step 3, after the wing part 18c before division is overlapped with the one side main surface 12s of the front piece connection part 12k in the main body connection part 11 via the adhesive coating part, they are temporarily fixed to form the second connecting part 22a, 22b.

[0115] By temporarily fixing the wing member 18c before being divided, the conveying speed of the production line can be increased compared to the case where the temporary fixing is not performed, and the number of products produced per unit time can be easily increased.

[0116] Deformation method 1: Figure 8 This is an enlarged view of the main parts of the disposable wearing article in the modification mode 1. Figure 8 As shown, a plurality of elastic components 13 such as rubber threads are arranged on the front sheet 12; in the linear eyelets constituting the tear guide line 24, the elastic component 13x intersecting the penetration portion 24s between the main surfaces 12s and 12t of the front sheet 12 will be cut when the penetration portion 24s is formed, but the elastic components 13a and 13b intersecting the non-penetration portion 24x between the adjacent penetration portions 24s will not be cut. These elastic components 13a and 13b that are not cut will not be cut even if the front sheet 12 is torn along the tear guide line 24, and need to be torn off when wearing the disposable wearing article.

[0117] In order to prevent the uncut elastic members 13 a and 13 b from remaining, an auxiliary cutting line 25 is provided in the vicinity of the tearing guide line 24 .

[0118] The auxiliary cutting line 25 is formed with a pitch smaller than the linear perforations of the tear guide line 24, so that the front sheet 12 is torn along the tear guide line 24 rather than along the auxiliary cutting line 25. For example, the elastic component 13 is cut in the vicinity of the tear guide line 24 using a cutter whose blade pitch is set to be smaller than the linear perforations of the tear guide line 24, and at this time, it should be ensured that the nonwoven fabric of the front sheet 12 is not cut.

[0119] To form the auxiliary cutting line 25, the same anvil as that used to form the linear eyelet of the tear guide line 24 may be used, or other devices may be used.

[0120] The auxiliary cutting line 25 may also be formed by fusing the elastic member 13 or the like.

[0121] An auxiliary cutting line 25 can be used to cut off at least the elastic parts 13a and 13b that would not be cut off when forming the tear guide lines 24a and 24b if there were no auxiliary cutting line 25, before forming the tear guide lines 24a and 24b, at the same time as forming the tear guide lines 24a and 24b, or after forming the tear guide lines 24a and 24b.

[0122] Deformation method 2: Fig. 9 and Fig.10 As shown, the manufacturing method of the disposable wearing article according to the second modification will be described below. Fig. 9 and Fig.10 In the second modification, the wing members 18a, 18b formed by the base material connecting parts 30i, 30j and the hook connecting parts 32, 34 can be overlapped with one main surface 12s of the front sheet connecting part 12k in the main body connecting part 11 without changing the orientation relative to the conveying direction.

[0123] like Fig. 9 As shown, the substrate connecting parts 30i, 30j for forming the wing parts 18a, 18b and the first and second hook connecting parts 32, 34 for forming the hook parts 19a, 19b are conveyed in respective continuous directions, and the first and second hook connecting parts 32, 34 are cut off at a specified width to form unprocessed hook parts 32k, 34k.

[0124] Set intervals and arrange the unprocessed hook parts 32k, 34k on the substrate connecting parts 30i, 30j at a specified interval; then, combine the unprocessed hook parts 32k, 34k with the substrate connecting parts 30i, 30j by bonding, heat sealing, ultrasonic bonding, etc. to form a pair of first connecting parts 37a, 37b.

[0125] Next, an adhesive such as hot melt adhesive is applied to predetermined positions of the pair of first connecting portions 37a and 37b to form a pair of second connecting portions 37u and 37v, on which adhesive application areas 36a and 36b are formed. At this time, the adhesive application areas 36a and 36b are spaced apart from the unprocessed hook members 32k and 34k and are arranged on the same surface of the base connecting portions 30i and 30j.

[0126] Then, the trimming portions 37p, 37q of the prescribed shape indicated by the dotted lines are cut away to form the wing members 18a, 18b having the hook members 19a, 19b formed by cutting the unprocessed hook members 32k, 34k and the adhesive application portions 36a, 36b.

[0127] Then, the wing members 18a and 18b are paired and arranged at a predetermined interval.

[0128] While the process so far is in progress, Fig.10 As shown, similarly to the first and second embodiments, the main body connection portion 11 is conveyed in a direction in which the single-piece portion 11k is continuous while the front sheet connection portion 12k and the rear sheet connection portion 14k are separated from each other.

[0129] Next, the pair of wing parts 18a, 18b are overlapped with the main surface 12s of one side of the front piece connecting part 12k in the main body connecting part 11, so that the hook parts 19a, 19b and the adhesive coating parts 36a, 36b of the wing parts 18a, 18b face the main surface of one side of the front piece connecting part 12k in the main body connecting part 11, and the pair of wing parts 18a, 18b are temporarily fixed on the main surface 12s of one side of the front piece connecting part 12k in the main body connecting part 11 via the adhesive coating parts 36a, 36b.

[0130] At this time, a pair of wing parts 18a, 18b are arranged on both sides of the boundary line of the part 11k that becomes a single piece in the main connecting part 11; and any one of a pair of tear guide lines 24a, 24b is arranged between the hook parts 19a, 19b of each of the pair of wing parts 18a, 18b and the adhesive coating parts 36a, 36b.

[0131] Then, a pair of wing parts 18a, 18b temporarily fixed on the front piece connecting part 12k in the main body connecting part 11 are combined with the front piece connecting part 12k in the main body connecting part 11 by heat sealing, ultrasonic bonding or the like to form the second connecting parts 22a, 22b.

[0132] Then, as shown by arrow 11 x , the main body connecting portion 11 is folded back, and the rear sheet connecting portion 14 k in the main body connecting portion 11 is overlapped with the other main surface 12 t of the front sheet connecting portion 12 k in the main body connecting portion 11 .

[0133] Then, by heat sealing, ultrasonic bonding or the like, the overlapping front sheet connection portion 12k and the rear sheet connection portion 14k in the main connecting portion 11 are bonded together at a specified position between a pair of wing members 18a, 18b to form the first bonding portion 20a, 20b.

[0134] Next, the main body connection portion 11 is cut at a cutting position 10x indicated by a dashed line to form a single piece.

[0135] It is also possible to not form the adhesive coating parts 36a, 36b, but to overlap the main surface 12s of one side of the wing parts 18a, 18b and the front piece connecting part 12k in the main body connecting part 11; then, use appropriate parts to press the wing parts 18a, 18b, and at the same time, combine the wing parts 18a, 18b and the front piece connecting part 12k in the main body connecting part 11 together.

[0136] Alternatively, the wing members 18a and 18b may be arranged on the front sheet connecting portion 12k in the main body connecting portion 11 and then immediately fixed, instead of being temporarily fixed.

[0137] In addition, instead of forming a pair of the wing parts 18a and 18b, the wing parts 18a and 18b can be overlapped with one side main surface 12s of the front piece connecting part 12k in the main body connecting part 11, and then the wing parts 18a and 18b and the front piece connecting part 12k in the main body connecting part 11 are combined with each other.

[0138] Deformation method 3: Fig.11 As shown, the manufacturing process of the disposable wearing article according to the third modification will be described below. Fig.11 In the third modification, the first and second wing members 18a and 18b are manufactured without cutting the trimming portions from the base connecting portion 30 and the hook connecting portion 33.

[0139] like Fig.11As shown, the base material connecting portion 30 for forming the first and second wing members 18a and 18b and the hook connecting portion 33 for forming the first and second hook members 19a and 19b are conveyed.

[0140] Then, the hook connecting portion 33 is arranged at the middle position in the width direction of the base connecting portion 30, and the hook connecting portion 33 is fixed to the base connecting portion 30 by heat sealing, ultrasonic bonding or the like, thereby forming the first connecting portion 30c.
