[0013] [Figure 1] 1A and 1B are plan views of an absorbent article for pets according to one embodiment of the present invention, in which (a) shows a state seen from the skin side, and (b) shows a state seen from the non-skin side. [Figure 2] FIG. 2 is a side view of FIG. 1(a) as viewed from the direction of arrow II. [Figure 3] FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line III-III in FIG. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0014] Hereinafter, an absorbent article for pets according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0015] In this specification, "wearing a pet absorbent article" refers to a state in which the pet absorbent article is wrapped around the body (torso) of a pet animal, regardless of whether it has absorbed bodily fluids or not. The longitudinal direction of a pet absorbent article refers to the direction along the pet's waist (circumferential direction) when the pet absorbent article is worn, which is the direction indicated by arrow X in the figures. The inner side of the longitudinal direction refers to the direction toward the center in the longitudinal direction, and the outer side of the longitudinal direction refers to the direction away from the center in the longitudinal direction. The width direction of a pet absorbent article refers to the direction intersecting (orthogonal to) the longitudinal direction, which is the direction along the front and back of the pet when the pet absorbent article is worn, which is the direction indicated by arrow Y in the figures. The inner side of the width direction refers to the direction toward the center in the width direction, and the outer side of the width direction refers to the direction away from the center in the width direction. The thickness direction of the pet absorbent article refers to the direction intersecting (orthogonal to) both the longitudinal direction and the width direction, the direction in which the components are stacked, and the direction along arrow Z in the figure. The skin side of the pet absorbent article refers to the direction toward the pet's body when the pet absorbent article is worn on the pet, and the non-skin side refers to the direction opposite the skin side in the thickness direction. The front-to-rear direction refers to the front-to-rear direction of the pet when the pet absorbent article is worn. Body fluids mainly refer to urine.

[0016] <Absorbent articles for pets> Fig. 1 is a plan view of an absorbent article for pets according to one embodiment of the present invention, where (a) shows the state as viewed from the skin side and (b) shows the state as viewed from the non-skin side. Fig. 2 is a side view of Fig. 1(a) as viewed from the direction of arrow II. Fig. 3 is a cross-sectional view taken along arrows III-III in Fig. 1. Note that Fig. 2 shows a schematic cross section. Furthermore, each drawing does not prescribe the dimensional relationship between the components of the absorbent article for pets, and the dimensions of each component can be selected appropriately from a wide range depending on the intended use of the absorbent article for pets, the type of pet for which it is intended to be used, etc.

[0017] The pet absorbent article 10 according to one embodiment of the present invention is worn around the waist of a pet (e.g., a dog, cat, etc.), and is particularly suitable for use with male pets that have become bedridden and are no longer able to walk due to old age or other reasons.

[0018] As shown in Figures 1 to 3, the pet absorbent article 10 of this embodiment is an absorbent article that is wrapped around the waist of a pet and is formed long in the direction of the pet's waist (X direction). The pet absorbent article 10 includes a liquid-permeable top sheet 11 on the skin side, a liquid-impermeable back sheet 12 on the non-skin side, an absorber 13, front and rear three-dimensional gathers 14, and hook tapes (fastening parts) 15. In this embodiment, the shape of the pet absorbent article 10 is substantially rectangular, but is not limited to this and the shape of the pet absorbent article 10 may be at least a belt-like shape that can be worn around the waist of a pet.

[0019] (Pet absorbent article dimensions) The dimension (maximum dimension) L of the longest part in the longitudinal direction (X direction) of the pet absorbent article 10 is preferably 300 mm or more and 570 mm or less. Furthermore, the dimension (maximum dimension) W of the longest part in the width direction (Y direction) of the pet absorbent article 10 is preferably 180 mm or more and 350 mm or less. By setting the dimensions of the pet absorbent article 10 within the above range, it is possible to obtain a pet absorbent article 10 of a size suitable for pets such as dogs and cats. Furthermore, by setting the dimensions of the pet absorbent article 10 within the above range, it is possible to obtain a pet absorbent article 10 that can accommodate pets (such as dogs) with a large waist circumference (thick) and a short torso length.

[0020] (Top sheet) The top sheet 11 may be formed from a liquid-permeable substrate that allows bodily fluids to move to the absorbent body 13. Examples of the substrate for the top sheet 11 include hydrophilic sheets, composite nonwoven fabrics that are laminates of the same or different hydrophilic sheets, apertured films such as apertured polyethylene films, and foamed films such as polyethylene foam and urethane foam. Examples of hydrophilic sheets include air-through nonwoven fabrics, thermobonded nonwoven fabrics, spunlace nonwoven fabrics, and spunbonded nonwoven fabrics made from synthetic fibers made from synthetic resins such as polypropylene and polyethylene, recycled fibers such as rayon, and natural fibers such as cotton. Of these, nonwoven fabrics are preferred, and air-through nonwoven fabrics are more preferred from the standpoint of texture.

[0021] The surface of the top sheet 11 may be embossed or perforated to improve liquid permeability. Any known method can be used for embossing or perforating the top sheet 11 without any restrictions. Furthermore, to reduce irritation to the skin, the top sheet 11 may contain lotion, antioxidants, anti-inflammatory ingredients, pH adjusters, antibacterial agents, moisturizers, etc. The shape of the top sheet 11 is not particularly limited, and may be any shape that covers the absorbent body 13 to guide bodily fluids to the absorbent body 13 without leakage.

[0022] (back seat) The backsheet 12 may be formed using a liquid-impermeable substrate to prevent leakage of bodily fluids held in the absorbent body 13 to the non-skin side, and is formed from a composite sheet formed by laminating a resin film and a nonwoven fabric. As shown in Fig. 3, the backsheet 12 preferably has a resin film (film portion) 16 on the skin side and a nonwoven fabric (nonwoven fabric portion) 17 located on the non-skin side of the resin film 16, and is a composite sheet formed by laminating these. Note that Fig. 3 illustrates the backsheet 12 formed from a composite sheet formed by laminating the resin film 16 and the nonwoven fabric 17, but the backsheet 12 is not limited thereto. For example, the backsheet 12 may be formed from a composite sheet of three or more layers including other sheets in addition to the resin film 16 and the nonwoven fabric 17.

[0023] Examples of the resin film 16 used in the backsheet 12 include polyester, polyvinyl alcohol, polyethylene, polypropylene, and composite films of polyethylene and polypropylene.

[0024] The nonwoven fabric 17 used in the backsheet 12 may be produced by any method, and examples thereof include spunbond nonwoven fabric, meltblown nonwoven fabric, spunbond nonwoven fabric / meltblown nonwoven fabric, spunbond nonwoven fabric / meltblown nonwoven fabric / spunbond nonwoven fabric (SMS nonwoven fabric), and other composite nonwoven fabrics and composite materials thereof. Of these, SMS nonwoven fabric or spunbond nonwoven fabric is preferred.

[0025] The back sheet 12 is preferably breathable to prevent stuffiness during wear. To provide breathability to the back sheet 12, for example, a filler may be blended into the base resin film 16 or the back sheet 12 may be embossed. An example of the filler is calcium carbonate, and the blending method can be any known method without limitation. For example, a porous (breathable) resin film can be obtained by kneading a resin and a filler, forming the resulting kneaded product into a film, and removing the filler from the resulting film.

[0026] (absorbent) The absorbent body 13 is disposed between the top sheet 11 and the back sheet 12, and absorbs and retains bodily fluids that have permeated through the top sheet 11. The absorbent body 13 preferably contains, as an absorbent base material, absorbent fibers and superabsorbent polymers (hereinafter sometimes referred to as "SAP").

[0027] (absorbent fiber) The absorbent fiber is not particularly limited as long as it is one generally used in absorbent articles such as sanitary napkins, disposable diapers, and urine absorption pads, and examples thereof include fluff pulp, cotton, rayon, acetate, tissue, absorbent paper, and hydrophilic nonwoven fabrics. Among these, fluff pulp is preferred from the viewpoint of absorbency. Examples of fluff pulp include wood pulp (e.g., bleached coniferous kraft pulp (N-BKP) such as southern pine and Douglas fir), synthetic fibers, resin fibers, and cotton-like defibrated materials such as non-wood pulp.

[0028] (Superabsorbent polymer) The SAP is not particularly limited as long as it can absorb body fluids and prevent reflux, and examples thereof include polyacrylates, polyaspartates, (starch-acrylic acid) graft copolymers, (acrylic acid-vinyl alcohol) copolymers, (isobutylene-maleic anhydride) copolymers, and saponified products thereof. Among these, from the viewpoint of absorption per weight, polyacrylates are preferred, alkali metal polyacrylates are more preferred, and sodium polyacrylate is even more preferred. One SAP can be used alone, or two or more SAPs can be used in combination.

[0029] SAP is used in the form of particles, fibers, etc., for example, but is preferably used in the form of particles from the viewpoint of ease of handling, etc. In this case, by avoiding the use of SAP in the form of a fine powder that has poor fluidity as a powder and using SAP with a medium particle size, it is possible to improve basic absorption performance and reduce the rough feel that occurs when the absorbent body 13 hardens.

[0030] The absorbent fibers and SAP in the absorbent body 13 may be in the form of SAP particles mixed in absorbent fibers, or may be an SAP sheet with SAP particles fixed between absorbent fibers. Another form of absorbent body 13 is an absorbent sheet containing multiple hydrophilic nonwoven fabrics with SAP fixed between the hydrophilic nonwoven fabrics. Among these, fluff pulp as the absorbent fiber carrying SAP is preferred.

[0031] (absorbent paper) The entire absorber 13 may be wrapped in absorbent paper (not shown). Any hydrophilic sheet commonly used in this field can be used as the absorbent paper, including, for example, hydrophilic nonwoven fabrics such as thermal-bonded nonwoven fabrics, spun-bonded nonwoven fabrics, air-laid nonwoven fabrics, air-through nonwoven fabrics, and pulp-containing nonwoven fabrics, tissue paper, and absorbent paper. Among hydrophilic nonwoven fabrics, hydrophilic nonwoven fabrics such as thermal-bonded nonwoven fabrics, spun-bonded nonwoven fabrics, air-through nonwoven fabrics, and pulp-containing nonwoven fabrics are more preferred, and tissue paper (crepe paper) and spun-bonded nonwoven fabrics that have been subjected to a hydrophilic treatment as necessary are even more preferred.

[0032] (Front and back gathers) The front and rear three-dimensional gathers 14 are sheet-like members that prevent lateral leakage (leakage in the front-to-rear direction) of bodily fluids excreted by a pet wearing the pet absorbent article 10. The front and rear three-dimensional gathers 14 are arranged on both sides of the skin-facing side of the top sheet 11 in the width direction, extend in the longitudinal direction, and are fixed to the top sheet 11 in an upright manner. Note that the object to which the three-dimensional gathers 14 are fixed is not limited to the top sheet 11; for example, the three-dimensional gathers 14 may be fixed to the back sheet 12 in addition to the top sheet 11.

[0033] The sheet constituting the three-dimensional gathers 14 is a liquid-impermeable sheet that is water-repellent and / or waterproof, and is made of, for example, a nonwoven fabric. The nonwoven fabric used here is not particularly limited to any water-repellent and / or waterproof (liquid-impermeable) nonwoven fabric made of hydrophobic fibers, and examples thereof include spunbond nonwoven fabric, meltblown nonwoven fabric, composite nonwoven fabric (SMS nonwoven fabric) which is a spunbond nonwoven fabric / meltblown nonwoven fabric / spunbond nonwoven fabric laminate, and composite nonwoven fabric (SMMS nonwoven fabric) which is a spunbond nonwoven fabric / meltblown nonwoven fabric / meltblown nonwoven fabric / spunbond nonwoven fabric laminate. Of these, SMS nonwoven fabric is preferred.

[0034] Elastic stretchable members (not shown) may be provided on the front and rear three-dimensional gathers 14. The elastic stretchable members may be arranged along the longitudinal direction on the free end sides of the front and rear three-dimensional gathers 14 to impart standing ability to the front and rear three-dimensional gathers 14. As the elastic stretchable members, thread-, string- or strip-shaped members made of, for example, natural rubber, synthetic rubber, polyurethane or the like may be used as appropriate.

[0035] (Front and back side gathers) Front and rear side gathers (not shown) may be provided along the longitudinal direction at both widthwise ends of the pet absorbent article 10. The front and rear side gathers provide longitudinal stretchability to both widthwise ends of the pet absorbent article 10, improving the fit to the pet's body.

[0036] (hook tape) The hook tape (fastening portion) 15 is a detachable portion for fastening both longitudinal ends of the pet absorbent article 10 to each other when putting the pet absorbent article 10 on a pet, and is provided on the skin-facing side of one longitudinal end of the pet absorbent article 10. In this embodiment, the hook tape 15 extends along the width direction and is fixed to the non-skin-facing side of the backsheet 12 at one longitudinal end of the pet absorbent article 10. The hook tape 15 has a plurality of hooks (not shown) on the non-skin-facing side, and is detachable from the topsheet 11. By using the hook tape 15 as the fastening portion for fastening both longitudinal ends of the pet absorbent article 10 to each other, it is easy to re-apply, unlike fastening portions made of an adhesive layer or pressure-sensitive adhesive tape, and the waist length of the pet absorbent article 10 can be easily adjusted. Note that the "hook tape" is also sometimes referred to as a "mechanical hook tape" or "mechanical tape."

[0037] In the present embodiment, the hook tape 15 is provided on the non-skin-facing side of the back sheet 12 at one longitudinal end of the pet absorbent article 10, but this is not limited thereto and the hook tape 15 may be provided on the skin-facing side of the top sheet 11 at one longitudinal end of the pet absorbent article 10. In this case, the hook tape 15 is detachable from the nonwoven fabric 17 of the back sheet 12 and is fastened to the nonwoven fabric 17 of the back sheet 12 when fastening both longitudinal ends of the pet absorbent article 10 together. In addition, in the present embodiment, the hook tape 15 is used as a fastening part for fastening both longitudinal ends of the pet absorbent article 10 together, but this is not limited thereto and may be, for example, an adhesive layer made of a hot melt adhesive or a pressure-sensitive adhesive tape. The shape of the fastening part is not particularly limited. A loop material corresponding to the hook tape 15 may be provided at a position corresponding to the hook tape 15.

[0038] (Convex part) As shown in Figures 1 and 2, protrusions 10a that protrude toward the skin side are provided in part of the region of the skin side of the pet absorbent article 10 where the absorbent body 13 is disposed. The method for forming the protrusions 10a on the skin side of the pet absorbent article 10 is not particularly limited, but it is preferable that they are formed by approximately hemispherical (dome-shaped) protrusions 18. As shown in Figure 3, in this embodiment, the protrusions 10a are formed on the skin side of the pet absorbent article 10 by disposing the protrusions 18 between the absorbent body 13 and the top sheet 11. A carrier sheet may be disposed between the protrusions 18 and the absorbent body 13.

[0039] (protrusion) The protrusions 18 are components for causing the skin-side surface of the pet absorbent article 10 to protrude toward the skin side, and are liquid permeable or liquid absorbent. The protrusions 18 are preferably formed in a substantially hemispherical shape, and are preferably arranged so that the flat (bottom) side faces the non-skin side and the spherical side protrudes toward the skin side. The planar shape of the protrusions 18 as viewed from the skin side is preferably circular or elliptical. As shown in FIG. 1, the planar shape of the protrusions 18 of this embodiment as viewed from the skin side is an ellipse with a major axis in the longitudinal direction.

[0040] The maximum diameter D of the projections 18 (in this embodiment, the diameter along the longitudinal direction) is preferably 40 mm or more and 180 mm or less. If the maximum diameter D of the projections 18 is smaller than 40 mm, the protrusions 10a will be too small and will not easily contact the bladder, making it difficult to provide stimulation. This may result in insufficient stimulation and an inability to perform the excretion assistance function. On the other hand, if the maximum diameter D of the projections 18 is larger than 180 mm, the protrusions 10a will be too large and the contact area with the bladder will increase, which will easily cause friction with the skin and lead to skin irritation. It will also be uncomfortable for the pet, causing discomfort and stress. Note that, because the top sheet 11 is a thin sheet, the maximum diameter of the protrusions 10a of the pet absorbent article 10 will be approximately the same size as the maximum diameter D of the projections 18. In other words, the maximum diameter of the protrusions 10a of the pet absorbent article 10 is also preferably 40 mm or more and 180 mm or less.

[0041] The height H (maximum height from the bottom surface) of the projections 18 is preferably 30 mm or more and 80 mm or less. If the height H of the projections 18 is smaller than 30 mm, it becomes difficult for the stimulation to reach the bladder, making it difficult to reduce the effort (burden) of the person assisting the pet with excretion. On the other hand, if the height H of the projections 18 is larger than 80 mm, strong pressure is constantly applied to the pet's abdomen, resulting in excessive stimulation. The pet also feels pain and becomes stressed. Note that, because the top sheet 11 is a thin sheet, the height of the convex portions 10a of the pet absorbent article 10 is also approximately the same height as the height H of the projections 18. In other words, the height of the convex portions 10a of the pet absorbent article 10 is also preferably 30 mm or more and 80 mm or less.

[0042] The protrusions 18 are preferably made of cellulose fiber with a load capacity of 7 kgf to 30 kgf, or hydrophilic urethane foam with a hardness of 140 N to 200 N. By forming the protrusions 18 into a roughly hemispherical shape using the above materials, a pet absorbent article 10 can be obtained that is low-cost and easy to dispose of. Furthermore, because the protrusions 18 are elastically deformable, they are less likely to cause problems such as skin rashes. Furthermore, because they are neither too hard nor too soft, they are suitable for assisting with excretion and reduce stress for pets. When the protrusions 18 are made of cellulose fiber, the load capacity can be measured by placing a specified weight (7 kg or more) on the cellulose fiber, leaving it for four hours, then removing the weight and measuring the maximum deflection. It is confirmed that the deflection rate under load is within 1% and there are no abnormalities that would interfere with use. When measuring the hardness of protrusions 18 made of hydrophilic urethane foam, first place the urethane foam flat, place a 200 mm diameter circular pressure plate on top of it, and press the circular pressure plate until the thickness of the urethane foam is 75% of its original thickness, then return it to its original position. Next, press the circular pressure plate until the thickness of the urethane foam is 25% of its original thickness and hold for 20 seconds, and measure the load value at that time as the hardness.

[0043] The protrusions 18 are preferably disposed between the top sheet 11 and the absorbent body 13, but may also be disposed closer to the skin than the top sheet 11. For example, the protrusions 18 may be fixedly provided on the skin-facing side of the top sheet 11, thereby causing the skin-facing side of the pet absorbent article 10 to protrude towards the skin.

[0044] (How to use) Next, we will explain an example of how to use the pet absorbent article 10. Note that the following method of using the pet absorbent article 10 is just one example, and the pet absorbent article 10 can also be used in other ways.

[0045] When putting the pet absorbent article 10 on a pet, the pet absorbent article 10 is put around the pet's waist so that the longitudinal direction of the pet absorbent article 10 is the circumferential direction of the pet's waist and the width direction is the front-to-back direction of the pet. Specifically, when putting the pet absorbent article 10 on, first, the pet absorbent article 10 is placed below the pet's waist with the top sheet 11 facing the pet's skin. At this time, the pet absorbent article 10 is placed so that the convex portions 10a of the pet absorbent article 10 come into contact with the pet's urination area (bladder). Next, both longitudinal sides of the pet absorbent article 10 are wrapped around the pet's waist, and the top sheet 11 on the other longitudinal side is fastened to the hook tape 15 on one longitudinal side. In this way, the pet absorbent article 10 can be put around the pet's waist.

[0046] Pet absorbent article 10 configured as described above has protrusions 10a that protrude toward the skin side in part of the area of ​​the skin side where absorber 13 is located. Therefore, by putting pet absorbent article 10 on a pet, protrusions 10a can press and stimulate the pet's bladder, thereby helping with excretion.

[0047] Furthermore, because owners can assist their pet with excretion while the pet is still wearing pet absorbent article 10, even if the pet excretes at an unpredictable time, it can be absorbed by pet absorbent article 10. This prevents the surrounding area from becoming soiled with excrement, allowing for hygienic assistance with excretion.

[0048] Furthermore, because the protrusions 10a can be placed against the pet's bladder while the pet absorbent article 10 is attached to the pet, even an elderly or other owner with little strength can stimulate the pet's bladder with little force by pressing the protrusions 10a. This reduces the physical burden on the owner when assisting their pet with excretion. Furthermore, reducing the physical burden on the owner when assisting their pet with excretion also reduces the mental burden on the owner when assisting their pet with excretion.

[0049] Thus, according to this embodiment, it is possible to provide an absorbent article for pets 10 that can assist with excretion.

[0050] Furthermore, since the protrusions 18 are liquid permeable or liquid absorbent, even with the protrusions 18, urine can be moved from the top sheet 11 side to the absorbent body 13, and the urine can be absorbed by the absorbent body 13.

[0051] Although the present invention has been described above based on the above embodiment, the present invention is not limited to the content of the above embodiment, and can be modified as appropriate without departing from the scope of the present invention. In other words, all other embodiments, examples, operational techniques, etc. made by those skilled in the art based on this embodiment are naturally included in the scope of the present invention.
