[0004] Patent Document 1: Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2022-14368 Summary of the invention

[0005] [Problems to be solved by the invention]

[0006] In recent years, disposable diapers for pets such as dogs and cats have been known. However, as disposable diapers for pets, although the above-mentioned adhesive diapers are known, there are no pants-type diapers. In addition, although the diaper disclosed in Patent Document 1 is a pants-type diaper, it cannot be used as a diaper for pets because it is a diaper for humans.

[0007] Moreover, it is preferable that a stick-on diaper or a pants-type diaper can be appropriately selected for a pet according to its type and size.

[0008] An object of the present invention is to provide an absorbent article for pets that can be used as a pants-type diaper or a stick-on diaper.

[0009] [Methods used to solve the problem]

[0010] In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, a first aspect of the present invention is an absorbent article for pets, comprising:

[0011] The dorsal region covers the back of the spine from the base of the tail;

[0012] a buttocks covering region connected to the dorsal region in a first direction and covering the anus and the vicinity of the lower side thereof below the base of the tail;

[0013] a ventral region connected to the buttocks covering region on the opposite side of the dorsal region in the first direction and covering the abdomen on the front side of the buttocks covering region; and

[0014] an absorbent body disposed at least in the buttocks covering region and the ventral region and disposed in a middle portion of the pet absorbent article in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction,

[0015] At both ends of the ventral region in the second direction, there are belly band regions to be joined to the dorsal region, and stretchable parts that are stretchable in the second direction are provided over the entire area of ​​the belly band region in the first direction, and joining parts for joining the ventral region to the dorsal region are provided at both ends of the belly band region in the long side direction.

[0016] In the back side region, a member to be engaged with the engaging member is provided.

[0017] The engaging member and the engaged member are configured to be capable of repeatedly engaging with and separating from each other.

[0018] The engaging member is configured to be repeatedly engageable and disengageable even in a region of the abdominal band region to which the engaging member is not attached.

[0019] According to the first aspect, in the state where the joining component and the joined component are joined together, the two ends of the second direction of the belly band region of the ventral region are joined to the dorsal region respectively, thereby forming a waist opening for the pet's body to pass through and a pair of left and right leg openings for the hind legs to pass through. In addition, a telescopic component that stretches and contracts in the second direction is provided throughout the entire area of ​​the first direction of the belly band region. Thus, it can be used as a trouser type (absorbent article for pets, diaper) that can obtain a sense of fit. In addition, the two ends of the second direction of the belly band region and the dorsal region are joined by the joining component arranged on the belly band region and the joined component arranged on the dorsal region, and can be repeatedly joined and separated from each other. Therefore, it can also be used as an adhesive type, and the joining component is worn in a state where the joining component is separated from the joined component, and then the joining component is joined to the joined component. In addition, the joining component is configured to be repeatedly joined and separated for the area of ​​the belly band region where the joining component is not installed, thereby, for large pets, the joining component can be joined to the joined component for use, and for small pets, the joining component can be joined to the belly band region for use.

[0020] In the second aspect of the present invention, the length of the abdominal band region in the first direction is 80 mm or more.

[0021] According to the second aspect, the width over which the abdominal band region and the back region can be joined is increased, and a better fit due to the pants type (absorbent article for pets, diaper) can be obtained.

[0022] In the third aspect of the present invention, the absorbent body is not arranged in the back region.

[0023] According to the third aspect, since the absorbent body whose effect cannot be expected is not arranged in the back region, it is possible to reduce the cost.

[0024] In a fourth aspect of the present invention, the absorbent body is arranged so that the end portion of the absorbent body on the ventral region side is located in a region 10 mm to 40 mm away from the end portion of the ventral region side of the absorbent article for pets.

[0025] According to the fourth aspect, for a male pet whose urination opening is located on the ventral side, the absorbent body can reliably cover the urination opening, thereby also being able to accommodate male pets.

[0026] In a fifth aspect of the present invention, there are:

[0027] A pair of three-dimensional pleats extend along both sides of the absorbent body in the first direction and stand upright toward the skin surface.

[0028] The raised end of the ventral region side of the three-dimensional pleats is located within the following range: 0 mm to 5 mm to the end of the ventral region side of the absorbent article for pets than the end of the ventral region side of the absorbent article for pets; and 0 mm to 5 mm to the end of the dorsal region side of the absorbent article for pets than the end of the ventral region side of the absorbent article for pets.

[0029] According to the fifth aspect, when a male pet wears the absorbent article for pets, a protrusion is formed that is deformed and protrudes from the end of the ventral side of the absorber toward the non-skin surface side, so that the urine capture space is formed further forward, and the absorber can be effectively used to capture urine from the end of the ventral side. Thus, urine leakage to the outside can be suppressed.

[0030] In the sixth aspect of the present invention, the rising end of the three-dimensional gathers on the back region side is located within a range of 100 mm to 200 mm from the end on the back region side of the absorbent article for pets to the end on the ventral region side of the absorbent article for pets.

[0031] According to the sixth aspect, when a female pet wears the absorbent article for pets, the three-dimensional gathers stand up from the belly of the female pet to both sides of the urination opening toward the skin surface, thereby preventing urine from leaking to the outside even when the female pet wears the absorbent article for pets.

[0032] In a seventh aspect of the present invention, the abdominal band region includes a first region overlapping with the absorbent body and a second region not overlapping with the absorbent body.

[0033] The second region is expanded and contracted in the second direction by the expansion and contraction member, and the first region is not expanded and contracted in the second direction.

[0034] According to the seventh aspect, when a male pet wears the absorbent article for pets, the second area of ​​the abdominal band area expands and contracts in the second direction, so that the two ends of the absorbent body in the second direction shrink inward, thereby being closely attached to the abdomen of the male pet. On the other hand, the first area overlapping with the absorbent body does not expand and contract in the second direction on the absorbent body, so that the absorbent body located in the first area becomes loose and not closely attached to the abdomen of the male pet. As a result, the absorbent body is separated from and surrounded by the front and surrounding of the urination opening of the male pet to form a urine capturing space. Thus, urine can be fully captured by the absorbent body, and urine leakage to the outside can be suppressed. In addition, since the urination opening is separated from the absorbent body, it is possible to suppress the urine absorbed by the absorbent body from contacting and adhering to the urination opening.

[0035] In the eighth aspect of the present invention, the elastic member can be extended by 1.5 to 3.5 times the length of the abdominal band region in the second direction when the elastic member is in a contracted state.

[0036] According to the eighth aspect, a better fit due to the pants type (absorbent article for pets, diaper) can be obtained.

[0037] In the ninth aspect of the present invention, the abdominal region is constituted only by the abdominal band region provided with the stretch member and the joint member.

[0038] According to the ninth aspect, although the absorbent article for pets is in the form of pants (absorbent article for pets, diaper), the length of the first direction of the ventral region is shortened, thereby suppressing the feeling of bulkiness when wearing the absorbent article for pets, thereby improving the feeling of tightness and improving the appearance.

[0039] In a tenth aspect of the present invention, the joined member is provided over the entire region of the back side region in the second direction.

[0040] According to the tenth aspect, the engaging member can be engaged at any position in the second direction of the back region, and the waist opening can be easily adjusted according to the waist circumference of the pet.

[0041] In the eleventh aspect of the present invention, the absorbent article for a pet is formed into a pants-type by joining the joining member to the joined member.

[0042] According to the eleventh aspect, it is possible to provide an absorbent article for a pet that can be used in the form of pants.

[0043] In the twelfth aspect of the present invention, the absorbent article for pet is formed into a pants-type by joining the joining member to a region of the joined member corresponding to the body shape of a pet to be worn by the absorbent article for pet.

[0044] According to the twelfth aspect, it is possible to select a type of pants (absorbent article for pets, diaper) that matches the body shape of the pet wearing the absorbent article for pets.

[0045] [Effects of the Invention]

[0046] According to the present invention, the absorbent article for pets can be used as a pants type (absorbent article for pets, diaper) or as an adhesive type (absorbent article for pets, diaper). BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0058] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that, in each of the accompanying drawings, unless otherwise specified, for the same or corresponding structure, the same figure mark may be marked and the description may be omitted. In addition, the orthogonal, left-right and other directions may allow deviations to a degree that does not impair the function and effect of the embodiment. The shape of the corner is not limited to a right angle, but may also be an arc-shaped angle with roundness. Orthogonal may also include substantially orthogonal situations. In this specification, the front-to-back direction of the diaper 1 is set as D1 (direction), and the width direction of the diaper 1 orthogonal to the front-to-back direction is set as D2 (direction). It should be noted that the so-called front-to-back direction corresponds to the front-to-back direction of the pet. In this specification, the front side of the front-to-back direction of the diaper 1 is set as the ventral side or the front, and the rear side of the front-to-back direction is set as the dorsal side or the rear. In addition, the surface of the diaper 1 opposite to the pet is set as the skin surface, and the surface on the side opposite to the skin side of the diaper 1 is set as the non-skin surface side.

[0059] (Overall structure)

[0060] Figure 1 This is a diagram of one embodiment of the absorbent article for pets according to the present invention as viewed from the skin surface side, and is a plan view in a developed state. Figure 2 It is along Figure 1 The cross-section view along line AA is shown. Figure 3 It is along Figure 1 The cross-sectional view along line BB is shown. Figure 4 It is along Figure 1 The cross-sectional view along the CC line is shown.

[0061] like Figure 1As shown, the present embodiment is a diaper 1, which is composed of a dorsal region R, a buttocks covering region M, and a ventral region F connected in this order in the front-to-back direction D1 as a first direction. The dorsal region R is a portion covering the back side of the spine from the root of the tail of the pet wearing the diaper 1. The buttocks covering region M is a portion covering the anus and its lower side vicinity below the root of the tail of the pet wearing the diaper 1. The ventral region F is a portion covering the abdomen of the pet wearing the diaper 1 closer to the front side than the buttocks covering region M. In addition, in the ventral region F, an abdominal band region FA and a leg circumference region FB are arranged in the front-to-back direction D1, and the abdominal band region FA becomes the end 14a side of the ventral side of the diaper 1 in the front-to-back direction D1 of the diaper 1.

[0062] The diaper 1 has an outer body 10 and an inner body 20. The outer body 10 is arranged only in the ventral region F, and the inner body 20 is arranged in a part of the ventral region F, the dorsal region R, and the buttocks covering region M. The length W1 of the width direction D2 of the outer body 10 as the second direction is longer than the length W2 of the width direction D2 of the inner body 20. Thus, the length of the width direction D2 of the ventral region F is longer than the length of the width direction D2 of the dorsal region R and the buttocks covering region M. Specifically, for the outer body 10, it is considered that the length of the front-back direction D1 is set to 165 mm, and the length of the width direction D2 as the second direction is set to 600 mm. For the inner body 20, it is considered that the length of the front-back direction D1 is set to 410 mm, and the length of the width direction D2 is set to 190 mm. The inner body 20 is overlapped and arranged on a part of the outer body 10 at the central part of the width direction D2 of the outer body 10. For example, the 135 mm area on the ventral side of the inner body 20 in the front-back direction D1 is overlapped on the outer body 10 in a manner of being placed on the skin surface of the outer body 10. Thus, in the diaper 1, the outer body 10 and the inner body 20 overlap in a part of the ventral region F, and the whole is formed into a T shape. At this time, as a size, it is considered that the length of the front-back direction D1 is set to 440 mm, and the length of the width direction D2 is set to 600 mm. It should be noted that the so-called "length" here means the length of the diaper 1 when it is unfolded and in the most extended state. As the length of the front-back direction D1 of the diaper 1, it is preferably 300 mm to 600 mm, and as the length of the width direction D2 of the outer body 10, it is preferably 500 mm to 800 mm, and as the length of the width direction D2 of the inner body 20, it is preferably 100 mm to 250 mm. Thus, when the pet wears it, the diaper 1 can be fitted to the leg circumference and waist circumference.

[0063] (Exterior body 10)

[0064] The outer body 10 and the portion of the inner body 20 that overlaps with the outer body 10 together constitute the ventral region F. In the ventral region F, the outer body 10 is formed into a belt-like shape with the width direction D2 as the long side direction in the ventral region F. In the leg region FB in the ventral region F, both ends of the outer body 10 in the width direction D2 are cut into a curved shape so that the leg opening LO is formed when the pet wears the diaper 1 (see Figure 5 ) part. Thus, the outer body 10 has a shape in which the length in the width direction D2 of the leg area FB gradually becomes shorter as it moves away from the abdominal band area FA.

[0065] The outer body 10 is formed by bonding two outer sheets 11a and 11b by an adhesive such as a hot melt adhesive. The two outer sheets 11a and 11b may be bonded by an adhesive only partially. Of the two outer sheets 11a and 11b, the outer sheet 11a disposed on the outside is folded back inward at the end of the ventral side in the front-back direction D1 of the diaper 1, thereby having a folded back portion 11c. The folded back portion 11c covers a portion of the inner body 20.

[0066] As the two outer sheets 11a and 11b, any sheet-like material can be used without special restrictions, and non-woven fabrics are preferably used. The raw material fibers of the non-woven fabrics are not particularly limited to any type of fibers. For example, synthetic fibers such as olefin fibers such as polyethylene and polypropylene, polyester fibers, and polyamide fibers; regenerated fibers such as rayon and cuprammonium fibers; natural fibers such as cotton; or mixed fibers and composite fibers made from two or more of these materials. In addition, the non-woven fabric can also be a non-woven fabric produced by any processing.

[0067] A plurality of stretchable components 13 are sandwiched between the two outer sheets 11a and 11b in the abdominal band area FA. The stretchable components 13 may be elongated. The plurality of stretchable components 13 extend between the ends of the outer body 10 in the width direction D2 in a direction that stretches in the width direction D2, and are fixed between the two outer sheets 11a and 11b in a state of being spaced apart from each other and parallel in the front-rear direction D1.

[0068] The plurality of stretch components 13 are arranged from the region of 0 mm to 5 mm inward from the end 14a of the ventral side of the diaper 1 toward the back side of the diaper 1. In addition, the plurality of stretch components 13 may be arranged to the region of 0 mm to 5 mm inward from the end of the back side of the abdominal band area FA in the front-back direction D1. In this way, the plurality of stretch components 13 are not limited to being arranged to cover the region between the two ends of the abdominal band area FA in the front-back direction D1, but may be arranged to exclude the region of 5 mm inward from the two ends of the abdominal band area FA in the front-back direction D1. In either case, it is defined that the plurality of stretch components 13 are arranged to cover the entire region of the abdominal band area FA in the front-back direction D1. In addition, in this case, the plurality of stretch components 13 may be arranged partially everywhere to cover the entire region of the abdominal band area FA in the front-back direction D1. The stretch components 13 may be fixed to the outer sheets 11a and 11b by bonding with hot melt adhesives, heat sealing, ultrasonic welding, etc. The entire stretch component 13 does not need to be set to the same thickness and elongation. For example, the thickness and elongation may be different on the end 14a side and the leg area FB side of the diaper 1. Here, as described above, a part of the inner body 20 overlaps with the outer body 10. At this time, the outer body 10 has a first area R1 overlapping with the absorbent body 30 of the inner body 20 and a second area R2 that does not overlap with the absorbent body 30 in the abdominal band area FA. In the abdominal band area FA, the stretch component 13 is sandwiched between two outer sheets 11a and 11b and stretches in the width direction D2, wherein, although the second area R2 stretches in the width direction D2, the first area R1 does not stretch in the width direction D2. This structure can also be constructed by, for example, cutting the stretch component 13 only in the first area R1 using a shearing cutter. In addition, even if only the absorbent body 30 is overlapped, it becomes difficult for the outer body 10 to stretch in the width direction D2 in the first area R1.

[0069] As the stretchable member 13, a rubber thread, a stretchable sheet, or a member formed by bonding a nonwoven fabric to these members, etc. As the material constituting the stretchable member 13, commonly used styrene rubber, olefin rubber, urethane rubber, ester rubber, polyurethane, polyethylene, polystyrene, styrene butadiene, silicone, polyester, etc. can be used.

[0070] Hook tapes 12a and 12b are installed at both ends of the outer body 10 in the width direction D2 in the abdominal band area FA. The hook tapes 12a and 12b are an example of a joining member in the present invention, have a belt-like shape, and are installed on the outer body 10 in an orientation such that the long side direction thereof coincides with the front-back direction D1 of the diaper 1. That is, the length of the long side direction of the hook tapes 12a and 12b can be appropriately set as long as it is less than the length of the front-back direction D1 in the abdominal band area FA of the outer body 10. The surface of the hook tapes 12a and 12b is constituted by the hook surface of a Velcro tape, and is fixed to the surface of the outer body 10 to be overlapped with the inner body 20 by an adhesive or the like.

[0071] (Inner body 20)

[0072] The inner body 20 constitutes a part of the belly region F, the buttocks covering region M, and the back region R. The inner body 20 includes a back sheet 21 , a waterproof sheet 22 , a top sheet 23 , an absorbent body 30 , a pair of planar gathers 50 a , 50 b , three-dimensional gathers 60 a , 60 b , and a target belt 40 .

[0073] The back sheet 21 has the same outer shape as that of the inner body 20, and is arranged on the non-skin side of the inner body 20. As the back sheet 21, a nonwoven fabric can be used. As the constituent fibers of the nonwoven fabric, for example, in addition to synthetic fibers such as olefins such as polyethylene or polypropylene, polyesters or polyamides (including composite fibers such as core-sheath type in addition to single-component fibers), regenerated fibers such as rayon or cuprammonium fibers, natural fibers such as cotton, etc. can also be selected. There is no special limitation, and these fibers can also be mixed for use. As the nonwoven fabric, specifically, spunbond nonwoven fabrics, meltblown nonwoven fabrics, spunlace nonwoven fabrics, thermal bond (hot air) nonwoven fabrics, needle-punched nonwoven fabrics, point-bonded nonwoven fabrics, laminated nonwoven fabrics (SSS (spunbond + spunbond + spunbond) nonwoven fabrics formed by laminating the same or similar nonwoven fabric layers, etc. The fiber basis weight of the back sheet 21 is preferably 10 to 50 g / m 2 , more preferably 15 to 30 g / m 2 .

[0074] A target tape 40 is installed on the non-skin surface of the back sheet 21. The target tape 40 is an example of a joined component in the present invention. The target tape 40 has a rectangular shape and is installed on the back region R along the end 14b of the diaper 1. For example, when the length of the width direction D2 of the back sheet 21 is 190 mm, the length of the width direction D2 of the target tape 40 can be considered to be 180 mm. In this way, the target tape 40 is preferably installed to cover almost the entire area of ​​the width direction D2 of the back sheet 21. This situation is also included, and it is defined as that the target tape 40 is installed on the entire area of ​​the width direction D2 of the back sheet 21. The surface of the target tape 40 is composed of the fur surface of the Velcro, and is fixed to the non-skin surface of the back sheet 21 by an adhesive or the like.

[0075] The waterproof sheet 22 is a water-blocking sheet that does not allow excrement to penetrate, and is laminated on the surface of the skin side of the back sheet 21 and bonded together by adhesives, etc. As the waterproof sheet 22, a multi-microporous sheet can be suitably used, which is obtained by mixing an inorganic filler in an olefin resin such as polyethylene or polypropylene and forming a sheet to extend in one or two axial directions. In addition, as the waterproof sheet 22, a waterproof sheet with non-woven fabric as a base material and improved waterproofness can also be used. The waterproof sheet 22 has the same shape as the outer shape of the inner body 20, and preferably extends over a wider range than the absorbent body 30 at least in the front-back direction D1 and the width direction D2.

[0076] In the middle part of the width direction D2 of the diaper 1, the absorbent body 30 is arranged on the waterproof sheet 22 in a manner included in the ventral region F and the buttocks covering region M. It should be noted that the absorbent body 30 may also be slightly offset from the middle part of the width direction D2 of the diaper 1 to the width direction D2, and in this case, it is also defined as the middle part arranged in the width direction D2 of the diaper 1. In addition, the absorbent body 30 is preferably arranged in a manner that forms a region where the distance d1 from the end 31 on the ventral region F side of the absorbent body 30 to the end 14a on the ventral side of the diaper 1 is 5mm to 50mm. In addition, the absorbent body 30 is further preferably arranged in a manner that forms a region where the distance d1 is 10mm to 40mm. As a result, when a male pet wears the diaper 1, the absorbent body 30 will cover the urination opening of the male pet, so that it can also correspond to the male pet. For the purpose of shape maintenance, the absorbent body 30 may also be wrapped with a packaging sheet composed of crepe paper or non-woven fabric. The absorbent body 30 is a part that absorbs and retains the excrement, and can be formed by a fiber aggregate. As this fiber aggregate, in addition to using a fiber aggregate formed by piling up short fibers such as cotton pulp or synthetic fibers, or natural fibers using coniferous or broad-leaved trees, a filament aggregate formed by opening a bundle (fiber bundle) of synthetic fibers such as cellulose acetate as needed can also be used. As the fiber basis weight, when piling up cotton pulp or short fibers, for example, it can be set to 100 to 300 g / m 2 In the case of a filament aggregate, for example, it can be set to 30 to 120 g / m 2In the case of synthetic fibers, the fineness is preferably, for example, 1 to 16 dtex, more preferably 1 to 10 dtex, and even more preferably 1 to 5 dtex. In the absorbent body 30, a part or all of it can contain superabsorbent polymer particles. The so-called superabsorbent polymer particles include powder in addition to particles. As superabsorbent polymer particles, particles used in such absorbent articles can be used directly. As materials for superabsorbent polymer particles, for example, starch-based, cellulose-based and synthetic polymer-based materials can be used. In addition, in the top view of the absorbent body 30, the central part of the front-to-back direction D1 can be a gathered shape. In other words, the absorbent body 30 can be constructed so that the length of its width direction D2 gradually shortens toward the center of the front-to-back direction D1.

[0077] The top sheet 23 is a liquid-permeable sheet that allows excrement such as urine to quickly penetrate. The top sheet 23 has the same length as the inner body 20 in the front-back direction D1 of the diaper 1, and extends laterally more than the absorbent body 30 in the width direction D2 to become a length that covers the absorbent body 30 and the plane folds 50a, 50b. In addition, the top sheet 23 is laminated on the waterproof sheet 22 in a manner that covers the absorbent body 30 and the plane folds 50a, 50b, and is bonded to the waterproof sheet 22. As a result, the absorbent body 30 becomes a state of being sandwiched between the waterproof sheet 22 and the top sheet 23. It should be noted that, for example, in the case where the rising end of the three-dimensional folds 60a, 60b described later is located closer to the central side in the width direction D2 than the side edge of the absorbent body 30, appropriate deformation can be applied as needed, such as making the length of the width direction D2 of the top sheet 23 shorter than the length of the width direction D2 of the absorbent body 30.

[0078] As the top sheet 23, it is suitable to adopt a non-woven fabric with holes or holes and a porous plastic sheet. As the constituent fiber of the non-woven fabric, for example, in addition to synthetic fibers such as olefins such as polyethylene or polypropylene, polyesters, and polyamides (including composite fibers of core-sheath type, etc., in addition to single-component fibers), regenerated fibers such as rayon and cuprammonium fibers, natural fibers such as cotton, etc. can also be selected, without special restrictions, and these fibers can also be mixed and used. In order to improve the softness of the non-woven fabric, it is preferred to adopt crimped fibers as the constituent fibers. In addition, the constituent fibers of the non-woven fabric can be hydrophilic fibers (including hydrophilic fibers that become hydrophilic by a hydrophilizing agent), or can be hydrophobic fibers or water-repellent fibers (including water-repellent fibers that become water-repellent by a water-repellent agent).

[0079] In addition, generally speaking, nonwoven fabrics can be classified into short-fiber nonwoven fabrics, long-fiber nonwoven fabrics, spunbond nonwoven fabrics, meltblown nonwoven fabrics, spunlace nonwoven fabrics, thermal bond (hot air) nonwoven fabrics, needle-punched nonwoven fabrics, point-bonded nonwoven fabrics, laminated nonwoven fabrics (in addition to SSS (spunbond + spunbond + spunbond) nonwoven fabrics formed by laminating the same or similar nonwoven fabric layers, there are SMS (spunbond + meltblown + spunbond) nonwoven fabrics formed by laminating different nonwoven fabric layers with meltblown layers sandwiched between spunbond layers, SMMS (spunbond + meltblown + meltblown + spunbond) nonwoven fabrics, etc.), etc., and any of these nonwoven fabrics can also be used. The laminated nonwoven fabric is preferably manufactured as an integrated nonwoven fabric containing all the layers and subjected to fiber bonding processing throughout all the layers. As a result, since the skin touch can be improved, irritation to the skin can be prevented when it comes into contact with the pet's skin. It should be noted that the laminated nonwoven fabric may be formed by bonding a plurality of separately manufactured nonwoven fabrics together by bonding means such as hot-melt adhesives.

[0080] The three-dimensional pleats 60a, 60b have the function of blocking the excrement that is transmitted on the top sheet 23 and moves in the lateral direction and preventing side leakage. The three-dimensional pleats 60a, 60b extend along the two sides of the absorbent body 30 in the front-to-back direction D1, and are composed of two pleated sheets 61a, 61b laminated on the top sheet 23 and folded back. The two pleated sheets 61a, 61b are arranged at a predetermined interval in the central part of the width direction D2 of the diaper 1, and the end sides opposite to each other are folded back to form folded back portions 62a, 62b. The length of each of the two pleated sheets 61a, 61b in the front-to-back direction D1 is the same as the length of the inner body 20, and the folded back portions 62a, 62b are arranged to overlap with the absorbent body 30. The end edge of each of the two gathers 61a, 61b on the side opposite to the folded back portions 62a, 62b, i.e., the outer end edge in the width direction D2, is arranged to overlap with the end edges of the waterproof sheet 22 and the back sheet 21. The outer side in the width direction D2 of each of the two gathers 61a, 61b extends over the entire length of the front-back direction D1, and is fixed to the top sheet 23 and the waterproof sheet 22 by the adhesive 63.

[0081] In addition, at the ventral end of the three-dimensional gathers 60a, 60b in the front-back direction D1, the folded back portions 62a, 62b are fixed to the top sheet 23 by the adhesive 64, and are made impossible to be opened by the adhesive 66. The boundary between the portion of the folded back portions 62a, 62b fixed to the top sheet 23 and the portion not fixed to the top sheet 23 constitutes the raised ends 67a, 67b on the ventral region F side of the three-dimensional gathers 60a, 60b. The raised ends 67a, 67b of the three-dimensional gathers 60a, 60b are preferably located in the following ranges: 0 mm to 5 mm to the ventral end 14a side of the diaper 1 from the end 31 on the ventral region F side of the absorbent body 30; and 0 mm to 5 mm to the dorsal end 14b side of the diaper 1 from the end 31 on the ventral region F side of the absorbent body 30.

[0082] In addition, in the area opposite to the target belt 40 at the back end of the three-dimensional gathers 60a, 60b in the front-back direction D1, the folded back parts 62a, 62b are fixed to the top sheet 23 by the adhesive 64, and cannot be opened by the adhesive 66. The boundary part of the part of the folded back parts 62a, 62b fixed to the top sheet 23 and the part not fixed to the top sheet 23 is the standing end 68a, 68b on the back area R side of the three-dimensional gathers 60a, 60b. The standing end 68a, 68b is preferably located in the range of 100 to 200 mm from the end 14b on the back side of the diaper 1 to the end 14a on the ventral side.

[0083] Furthermore, the folded-back portions 62 a and 62 b include the stretchable members 65 a and 65 b that are stretchable in the front-rear direction D1 in the regions that are not fixed to the top sheet 23 by the adhesive 64 .

[0084] In the three-dimensional folds 60a and 60b thus constructed, the areas not fixed to the top sheet 23 by the adhesive 64 can make the ends fixed by the adhesive 63 stand up toward the skin surface as the raised ends 67a, 67b, 68a, and 68b. Thus, the three-dimensional folds 60a and 60b can stand up by utilizing the contraction force of the telescopic parts 65a and 65b. The three-dimensional folds 60a and 60b can be made to adhere closely to the body surface of the pet. It should be noted that in Figure 2 In the example shown, the folded back portions 62a and 62b each contain two telescopic members 65a and 65b, but the number of the two telescopic members 65a and 65b may be one. Figure 3 As shown, both end portions of the three-dimensional gathers 60a and 60b in the front-back direction D1 are fixed to the top sheet 23 by the adhesive 64 as described above, and therefore do not stand up toward the skin surface.

[0085] It should be noted that hot melt adhesives can be used as the adhesives 63, 64, and 66. In the present embodiment, the adhesives 63, 64, and 66 are used as the fixing means, but the present invention is not limited to this, and any fixing means such as welding and crimping can be used.

[0086] As the expansion and contraction members 65a and 65b, generally used materials such as styrene rubber, olefin rubber, urethane rubber, ester rubber, polyurethane, polyethylene, polystyrene, styrene butadiene, silicone, and polyester can be adopted.

[0087] As the pleated sheets 61a, 61b, a nonwoven fabric obtained by a suitable processing method such as spunbonding, hot air, meltblowing, needle punching, etc. can be used. As the raw material fibers constituting the pleated sheets 61a, 61b, in addition to synthetic fibers such as olefin fibers such as polyethylene or polypropylene, polyester fibers, and polyamide fibers, regenerated fibers such as rayon and cuprammonium fibers, and natural fibers such as cotton can also be used.

[0088] The plane gathers 50a, 50b are formed by stretchable parts 51a, 51b arranged between the top sheet 23 and the waterproof sheet 22 and fixed thereto. The stretchable parts 51a, 51b are arranged outside the three-dimensional gathers 60a, 60b in parallel with the three-dimensional gathers 60a, 60b in the area not overlapping with the absorbent body 30, and stretch in the front-back direction D1. In the plane gathers 50a, 50b, the end of the ventral side is located at the back side of the ventral region F than the raised ends 67a, 67b of the ventral side of the three-dimensional gathers 60a, 60b, and the end of the back side is located in the area overlapping with the target band 40 in the back region R. When worn, the plane gathers 50a, 50b keep the diaper 1 along the leg circumference and improve the fit, preventing the diaper 1 from shifting. As the stretchable parts 51a, 51b, the same raw materials as the stretchable parts 65a, 65b of the three-dimensional gathers 60a, 60b can be used.

[0089] By arranging the plane gathers 50a, 50b in parallel with the three-dimensional gathers 60a, 60b, the plane gathers 50a, 50b can improve the elasticity of the three-dimensional gathers 60a, 60b in the front-back direction D1 of the diaper 1, and it is easy to form urine catching spaces. In addition, since the diaper 1 can be held along the leg circumference and the fit is further improved, urine leakage can be suppressed in the back area R.

[0090] In the back region R of the diaper 1, in the region where the target belt 40 is not provided, a tail opening 27 for the tail to pass through is provided. The tail opening 27 may be a slit that passes through the thickness direction of the diaper 1, or may be a perforation line that intermittently passes through the thickness direction of the diaper 1. The tail opening 27 may also be provided in a U-shape. In this case, since the absorbent body 30 is not provided in the tail opening 27, the tail opening 27 can be easily formed.

[0091] (Usage form of diaper)

[0092] Figure 5 Yes means Figure 1 The diagram shows the diaper 1 in a usage state.

[0093] Figure 1 The diaper 1 shown can be used as a pants-type diaper. In this case, Figure 5 As shown, the diaper 1 is folded back in the buttocks covering region M so that the skin surface thereof faces inward, and the skin surfaces of both end portions in the width direction D2 of the ventral region F face the non-skin surface of the dorsal region R. The hook tapes 12a and 12b are attached to the skin surfaces of both end portions in the width direction D2 of the ventral region F, and the target tape 40 is attached to the non-skin surface of the dorsal region R. Therefore, the ventral region F and the dorsal region R are joined by the hook tapes 12a and 12b and the target tape 40.

[0094] Thus, a waist opening WO for the pet's body to pass through is formed by the belly band area FA of the ventral region F and the back region R. In addition, a pair of left and right leg openings LO for the pet's hind legs to pass through are formed by the leg circumference area FB of the ventral region F and the buttocks covering area M. At this time, the belly band area FA of the ventral region F tightens the pet's waist, and the elastic member 13 that stretches in the width direction D2 is provided in the belly band area FA over the entire area in the front-back direction D1. Thus, a pants-type diaper 1 that can obtain a fitting feeling like underwear is obtained. In addition, as long as the hook tapes 12a and 12b can be joined to the area corresponding to the body shape of the pet wearing the diaper 1 in the target tape 40 to form a pants-type, a pants-type corresponding to the body shape of the pet wearing the diaper 1 can be selected. It should be noted that by setting the length of the belly band area FA in the front-back direction D1 to 80 mm or more, the width that can be joined between the belly band area FA and the back region R becomes wider, and the fitting feeling brought by the pants-type diaper can be further obtained.

[0095] Furthermore, if the stretchable member 13 is stretchable 1.5 to 3.5 times the length in the width direction D2 of the abdominal band region FA in the contracted state of the stretchable member 13, a better fit of a pants-type diaper can be obtained.

[0096] Figure 6 It is used to illustrate the Figure 1 The diaper 1 shown is a diagram of one embodiment of use as a pants-type diaper.

[0097] Figure 1 The diaper 1 shown can be used as Figure 5 The pant-type diaper is used in the manner shown.

[0098] In this case, if Figure 6 As shown in (a), first, the legs 2b of the male dog 2 as a pet are passed through the waist opening WO formed by the ventral region F and the dorsal region R. Further, the legs 2b of the male dog 2 are respectively passed through a pair of leg openings LO formed by the leg surrounding region FB of the ventral region F and the buttocks covering region M.

[0099] After that, the dog 2 is put on shorts, and the dog 2's body 2a is passed through the waist opening WO while the diaper 1 is moved to the ventral side of the dog 2. Figure 6 As shown in (b), once the leg 2b of the male dog 2 has completed the movement of passing through the leg opening LO, the ventral region F wraps around the body 2a of the male dog 2, the buttocks covering region M covers the buttocks of the male dog 2, and the dorsal region R covers the back of the male dog 2. In addition, the tail 2c of the male dog 2 has passed through the tail opening 27.

[0100] In this state, the elastic member 13 that expands and contracts in the width direction D2 is provided in the abdominal band area FA of the abdominal region F over the entire area in the front-back direction D1, thereby achieving a diaper 1 that can obtain a panty-like fit.

[0101] In this way, it is possible to Figure 1 The diaper 1 shown as Figure 5 The pant-type diaper shown is worn on the pet.

[0102] Figure 7 It is used to illustrate the Figure 1 The diaper 1 shown is a diagram of one embodiment in which it is used as a stick-on diaper.

[0103] Figure 1 The diaper 1 shown can be used as a stick-on diaper.

[0104] In this case, first, Figure 5 In the embodiment shown, the hook tapes 12a and 12b are separated from the target tape 40. As described above, the surface of the hook tapes 12a and 12b is constituted by the hook surface of the Velcro tape, and the surface of the target tape 40 is constituted by the fur surface of the Velcro tape. Therefore, the hook tapes 12a and 12b and the target tape 40 are constituted so as to be able to repeatedly engage and separate from each other. Figure 5 In the illustrated configuration, the hook tapes 12a, 12b are separated from the target tape 40.

[0105] The hook tapes 12a, 12b are separated from the target tape 40, and the diaper 1 is unfolded into Figure 1 And, as Figure 7As shown in (a), the central portion of the ventral region F in the width direction D2 is in contact with the abdomen of the male dog 2, and the diaper 1 is arranged so that the two legs 2b of the male dog 2 cross the buttocks covering region M. At this time, the skin surface is set to face the male dog 2.

[0106] Then, if Figure 7 As shown in (b), the back region R is lifted and folded back in the buttocks covering region M so that the skin surface becomes the inner side. Then, the tail 2c of the male dog 2 is passed through the tail opening 27, and the back region R is brought into contact with the back of the male dog 2.

[0107] Afterwards, if Figure 7 As shown in (c), both ends of the ventral region F in the width direction D2 are lifted, and the ventral region F is brought into contact with the dorsal region R in such a manner that the ventral region F surrounds the abdomen of the male dog 2. As a result, the body 2a of the male dog 2 passes through the waist opening WO formed by the ventral region F and the dorsal region R, and the legs 2b of the male dog 2 pass through a pair of leg openings LO formed by the leg surrounding region FB of the ventral region F and the buttocks covering region M.

[0108] Furthermore, hook tapes 12a and 12b are attached to both ends of the belly band region FA of the belly region F in the width direction D2, and a target tape 40 is attached to the back region R of the back sheet 21. Therefore, by engaging the hook tapes 12a and 12b with the target tape 40, the male dog 2 can wear the diaper 1. At this time, the target tape 40 is attached to the entire region in the width direction D2 of the back sheet 21. Thus, the hook tapes 12a and 12b can be engaged at any position in the width direction D2 of the back region R, and the waist opening WO can be easily adjusted according to the waist circumference of the pet.

[0109] In this way, it is also possible to Figure 1 The diaper 1 shown is worn on a pet as an adhesive diaper fixed with tape.

[0110] (Effect in case of male pets)

[0111] Figure 8 It is used to illustrate the Figure 1 The diagram shows the diaper 1 in action when used on a male pet.

[0112] As described above, the absorber 30 is preferably arranged so that the distance d1 from the end 31 on the ventral region F to the ventral end 14a of the diaper 1 is 5 mm to 50 mm. Furthermore, the absorber 30 is more preferably arranged so that the distance d1 is 10 mm to 40 mm. Figure 8As shown, when the male dog 2 wears the diaper 1 with the urination opening 2d located on the ventral side, the absorbent body 30 covers the urination opening 2d of the male pet, thereby being compatible with the male pet.

[0113] At this time, in the abdominal band area FA, the first area R1 where the outer body 10 overlaps the absorbent body 30 does not stretch in the width direction D2. With this structure, the absorbent body 30 located in the first area R1 is in a loose state without being tightly attached to the abdomen of the male dog 2. As a result, the absorbent body 30 is separated from the front and surrounding of the urination opening 2d of the male dog 2 to enclose a urine capture space. Therefore, urine can be fully captured by the absorbent body 30, and urine leakage to the outside can be suppressed. In addition, since the urination opening 2d is separated from the absorbent body 30, it is possible to suppress the urine absorbed by the absorbent body 30 from contacting and adhering to the urination opening 2d. In addition, the rising ends 67a, 67b of the three-dimensional gathers 60a, 60b are preferably located within a range of 0mm to 5mm from the end 31 on the ventral region F side of the absorbent body 30 to the end 14a side of the ventral side of the diaper 1 and 0mm to 5mm from the end 14b side of the back side of the diaper 1. Thus, when the male dog 2 wears the diaper 1, a protrusion is formed that protrudes and deforms from the ventral end 31 of the absorbent body 30 toward the non-skin surface side, so that the urine capturing space is formed further forward, and the absorbent body 30 can be effectively used to capture urine from the ventral end.

[0114] It should be noted that the tension of the elastic member 13 is preferably 2.0 cN to 10.0 cN (centinewton). By setting the tension of the elastic member 13 to 2.0 cN to 10.0 cN, when a male pet wears the diaper 1, the height of the protrusion protruding from the non-skin surface side can be made high enough, so that the absorbent body 30 can be fully separated from the abdomen of the male pet. As a result, a sufficiently large urine capture space is formed in the diaper 1, which can further suppress urine leakage to the outside.

[0115] In addition, the raised ends 68a and 68b are preferably located within a range of 100 to 200 mm from the end 14b on the back side of the diaper 1 to the end 14a on the ventral side. Thus, when a female pet wears the diaper 1, the three-dimensional gathers 60a and 60b stand up from the ventral side of the female pet to the two sides of the urination opening toward the skin surface side, so that even when a female pet wears the diaper 1, urine leakage to the outside can be suppressed. That is, the diaper 1 can suppress urine leakage to the outside regardless of whether it is worn by a male pet or a female pet.

[0116] (Diapers for small pets)

[0117] Fig. 9 Yes means Figure 1The figures showing another usage mode of the diaper 1 are as follows: (a) is an external perspective view, and (b) is a view seen from the direction of arrow E shown in (a).

[0118] Figure 1 The diaper 1 shown is Figure 5 The form shown is used as a pant-type diaper, but it can also be used for small pets. Figure 1 In the diaper 1 shown, the surfaces of the hook tapes 12a and 12b attached to the skin surface of both end portions in the width direction D2 of the belly region F are constituted by the hook surface of the hook fastener. Therefore, even with the outer sheets 11a and 11b made of nonwoven fabric or the like, they can be repeatedly engaged and separated. That is, the hook tapes 12a and 12b are configured so that they can be repeatedly engaged and separated even with the area in the belly band region FA where the hook tapes 12a and 12b are not attached.

[0119] With this structure, for small pets, such as Fig. 9 As shown, the hook tape 12b is joined to the target tape 40 in the dorsal region R so that the ventral region F surrounds the dorsal region R, and the hook tape 12a is joined to the region in the ventral region F where the hook tapes 12a and 12b are not attached. Thus, the diaper 1 can be used as a pants-type diaper for small pets.

[0120] In addition, for small pets, when used as an adhesive diaper, Figure 7 In the state shown in (a), the ventral region F surrounds the dorsal region R, firstly, the hook tape 12b is joined to the target tape 40 in the dorsal region R, and then the hook tape 12a is joined to the region where the hook tapes 12a and 12b are not attached in the ventral region F. Thus, the diaper 1 can be used as an adhesive type for small pets.

[0121] (Other embodiments)

[0122] Fig.10 This is a diagram showing another embodiment of the absorbent article for pets according to the present invention as viewed from the skin surface side.

[0123] like Fig.10 As shown, this embodiment is Figure 1 The absorbent article for pets shown has a diaper 101 having an absorbent body 130 of a different shape.

[0124] The absorber 130 in this embodiment has a shape that is included not only in the belly region F and the buttocks covering region M but also in the back region R in the middle portion of the diaper 101 in the width direction D2. The absorber 130 is provided to avoid the tail opening 27.

[0125] In the diaper 101 thus constructed, Figure 1 The absorbent article for pets shown in the figure has the same function and can be used as a pants-type diaper or a stick-on diaper. Figure 1 As in the absorbent article for pets shown in the figure, the absorber 30 only needs to be arranged in the ventral region F and the buttocks covering region M, and the absorber 30 where no effect can be expected is not arranged in the dorsal region R, thereby achieving cost reduction.

[0126] Fig.11 This is a diagram of another embodiment of the absorbent article for pets according to the present invention as viewed from the skin surface side.

[0127] like Fig.11 As shown, this embodiment is Figure 1 The absorbent article for pets shown in the figure has a diaper 201 having an outer body 210 of a different shape.

[0128] The outer body 210 in this embodiment is formed only of a belt-like shape with the width direction D2 as the longitudinal direction. Therefore, the belly region F in this embodiment is formed only of the belly band region FA provided with the stretchable member 13 and the hook belts 12a and 12b.

[0129] In the diaper 201 thus constructed, Figure 1 The absorbent article for pets shown in the figure can be used as a pants-type diaper or as a stick-on diaper. In addition, in the present embodiment, the ventral region F is composed only of the ventral band region FA provided with the elastic member 13 and the hook belts 12a and 12b. Thus, although a pants-type diaper is formed, the length of the ventral region F in the front-back direction D1 is shortened, thereby suppressing the feeling of bulkiness when the diaper 201 is worn, thereby improving the feeling of close fit, and thus the appearance becomes beautiful.

[0130] This application claims priority based on Japanese Patent Application No. 2023-026287 filed on February 22, 2023, and all contents thereof are incorporated herein.
