Patent Document 1

[0007] In the sheet-like adhesive material described in Patent Document 1 and the bio-adhesive tape described in Patent Document 2, it is necessary to tear and cut the perforated portion formed on the separator when using it. However, since the perforations consist of alternating cuts and connecting portions of equal length, the tearing force is dispersed, and the separator may tear laterally or diagonally from the perforated portion, making it difficult to reliably separate the sheet piece (grip portion, release paper portion) from the separator along the perforated portion. If, instead of perforations, there were cuts that were almost completely cut and connected by connecting portions only in a small portion, there is a risk that the sheet piece may unintentionally separate from the separator during the manufacturing stage, packaging and transport stage, or during use, or that the separator may be folded in the middle when it enters the packaging material. In addition, there is a risk that infants may accidentally ingest sheet pieces that have unintentionally separated from the separator and fallen to the floor, etc.

[0008] The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and aims to provide a separator that can prevent unintentional separation into multiple sheet pieces or breakage in the middle, and that can easily and reliably separate into multiple sheet pieces when intentionally separated, and a sanitary product equipped with the separator. [Means for solving the problem]

[0009] The characteristic configuration of the separator according to the present invention, which solves the above problems, is as follows: A separator configured to separate a sheet material into multiple sheet pieces by forming discontinuous cuts that extend between both ends of the sheet material, The aforementioned discontinuous cut consists of multiple cuts and multiple connecting sections arranged alternately. The plurality of cuts include a pair of end cuts extending inward from both ends of the sheet material. The aforementioned multiple connecting parts are, A pair of long connecting portions arranged to be continuous with the pair of end notches, Displaced between the pair of long connecting portions, and having a length shorter than the pair of long connecting portions, The purpose is to include it.

[0010] In this separator configuration, a pair of end notches are formed extending inward from both ends of the sheet material, a pair of long connecting sections are formed continuous with the pair of end notches, and at least one short connecting section shorter in length than the long connecting section is formed between the pair of long connecting sections. When the other side of the separator with respect to one side is displaced across the end notches, a tearing force acts on one of the long connecting sections, causing it to tear. When the tearing force acting on one of the long connecting sections exceeds a certain level, the long connecting section is torn and ripped, then the short connecting section shorter in length than the long connecting section is torn and ripped, and then the other long connecting section is torn and ripped. In this way, one long connecting section, one short connecting section, and the other long connecting section are successively torn off, causing the portion where the discontinuous cut is formed to be torn and cut, and the sheet material constituting the separator to be separated into multiple sheet pieces. In order to tear off the long connecting section, it is necessary to intentionally apply a tearing force of a certain magnitude or more to the long connecting section, and in order to fold the portion where the discontinuous cut is formed, including the long connecting section, it is necessary to apply a bending force of a certain magnitude or more to that portion. This prevents the separator from unintentionally separating into multiple sheet pieces or breaking in the middle, prevents infants from accidentally ingesting the sheet pieces, and allows the separator to be packaged in an appropriate state. Furthermore, since a pair of long connecting sections are formed so as to be continuous with a pair of end cuts formed to extend inward from both ends of the sheet material, when a tearing force is applied to one of the long connecting sections, stress concentrates at the boundary between the end cut and one of the long connecting sections, making it easy to tear off one of the long connecting sections. When one of the long connecting sections is torn, the shorter connecting section and the other long connecting section are torn sequentially, ensuring that the discontinuous cut is reliably severed. In this way, when separating the separator into multiple sheet pieces as intended, separation can be done easily and reliably.

[0011] In the separator according to the present invention, It is preferable that the ratio (L1 / L0) of the length of the end cut (L1) to the length of the discontinuous cut (L0) is set to 0.30 to 0.43.

[0012] The longer the length of the end cut (L1), the relative stress at the boundary between the end cut and the long joint when the same tearing force is applied to the long joint. Therefore, when applying a tearing force above a certain level to the long joint, the operating force required during the joint cutting operation, which involves relatively displacing one side of the end cut relative to the other side of the separator, can be reduced, but the amount of operation increases, impairing operability. On the other hand, the shorter the length of the end cut (L1), the less operation required during the joint cutting operation can be reduced, but the relative stress at the boundary between the end cut and the long joint when the same tearing force is applied to the long joint decreases, so the operating force required during the joint cutting operation increases, impairing operability. Therefore, with the separator of this configuration, the ratio (L1 / L0) of the length of the end cut (L1) to the length of the discontinuous cut (L0) is set to 0.30 to 0.43. This results in an appropriate ratio of the length of the end cut (L1) to the length of the discontinuous cut (L0), improving the balance between the operating force and the amount of operation during the joint cutting operation, and thus improving the operability during the cutting operation of the portion where the discontinuous cut has been formed.

[0013] In the separator according to the present invention, It is preferable that the ratio (L2 / L3) of the length of the short connecting section (L2) to the length of the long connecting section (L3) is set to 0.50 to 0.75.

[0014] If the lengths of the short and long connecting sections are not significantly different, that is, if the ratio of the length of the short connecting section (L2) to the length of the long connecting section (L3) (L2 / L3) is close to 1, then a tearing force close to the minimum tearing force applied to one of the long connecting sections must be applied to the short connecting section in order to tear it. This means that the series of operating forces required to cut the connecting section cannot be significantly reduced. If the length of the short connecting section is extremely short compared to the length of the long connecting section, that is, if the ratio of the length of the short connecting section (L2) to the length of the long connecting section (L3) (L2 / L3) is close to 0, the short connecting section will be torn off with an extremely low tearing force compared to the minimum tearing force applied to one of the long connecting sections. In this case, even if one tries to perform or interrupt the connecting section cutting operation in stages after tearing the long connecting section, the short connecting section will be torn off with only a small tearing force, making it difficult to perform or interrupt the connecting section cutting operation in stages. Therefore, with the separator in this configuration, the ratio of the length of the short connecting section (L2) to the length of the long connecting section (L3) (L2 / L3) is set to 0.50 to 0.75. This results in an appropriate ratio of the length of the short connecting section (L2) to the length of the long connecting section (L3), allowing the short connecting section to be torn with a tearing force smaller than a certain minimum tearing force applied to one of the long connecting sections. Furthermore, the short connecting section can function as a suitable resistance during the connecting section cutting operation, improving operability during the cutting operation and allowing the connecting section cutting operation to be performed in stages or interrupted.

[0015] Next, the characteristic configuration of the sanitary product according to the present invention for solving the above problem is as follows: The separator described above, The adhesive material to be attached to the separator, The goal is to provide for it.

[0016] According to this configuration of sanitary product, an adhesive material is attached to a separator that prevents unintentional separation into multiple sheet pieces or breakage in the middle, and allows for easy and reliable separation when intentionally separated into multiple sheet pieces. In a sanitary product with this configuration, a portion of the adhesive material can be lifted by pulling up one side of the separator while sandwiching the end cuts. The adhesive material can be easily peeled off the separator by pinching the lifted portion of the adhesive material and pulling it away. On the other hand, the adhesive material can be separated together with the sheet piece by performing a joint cutting operation following the operation of lifting a portion of the adhesive material. Furthermore, since the separator does not unintentionally separate into multiple sheet pieces or break in the middle, it can maintain its shape as a separator even if left as is after the adhesive material has been peeled off. If the portion of the separator from which the adhesive material has been peeled off is unnecessary, this unnecessary portion can be easily cut off by the joint cutting operation.

[0017] In the sanitary products according to the present invention, Preferably, the adhesive material is attached to the separator so as to straddle the discontinuous cut.

[0018] With this configuration of sanitary product, the adhesive material is attached to the separator so as to straddle the discontinuous cuts. By performing an action to lift one side of the separator relative to the other side across the end cuts, followed by a cutting action at the connecting part, the adhesive material can be separated from the separator along with the sheet piece, so that the sheet piece separated from the separator remains attached to the adhesive material as a gripping part. Then, by grasping the gripping part (sheet piece) with the hand, pressing the adhesive surface of the adhesive material that has been peeled off from the separator onto the affected area, and gradually peeling off the sheet piece that constitutes the gripping part while pressing the remaining adhesive surface of the adhesive material onto the affected area, the adhesive material can be easily applied to the affected area without touching the adhesive surface with the hands.

[0019] In the sanitary products according to the present invention, The sticking material is preferably arranged in a plurality of parallel rows on the separator so as to be adjacent to each other.

[0020] According to the sanitary product of this configuration, since a plurality of sticking materials are arranged in parallel on the separator so as to be adjacent to each other, it is possible to provide a sanitary product in which more sticking materials are bonded together by the separator.

[Figure 3] FIG. 3 is a front view of the separator. [Figure 4] FIG. 4 is an enlarged view of the main part of FIG. 3. [Figure 5] FIG. 5 is an explanatory diagram of the usage method of the sanitary product of this embodiment.

Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0022] Hereinafter, the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In the following embodiments, an example in which a mouth closing tape for preventing snoring and mouth breathing during sleep is applied as the sticking material will be described. However, the present invention is not intended to be limited to the configurations described in the following embodiments and drawings. Note that the "sanitary product" in this specification corresponds to "miscellaneous goods" under the Pharmaceutical Affairs Law.

[0023] <Overall Configuration of the Sanitary Product> Figure 1 is a front view of a sanitary product 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention. As shown in Figure 1, the sanitary product 1 comprises a rectangular separator 2 that is long in the horizontal direction (left-right direction) in the figure, and strip-shaped adhesive material 3 that is long in the vertical direction (up-down direction) in the figure and is attached to the separator 2. The number of adhesive material 3 attached to one separator 2 may be one or more, and is not particularly limited, but here we will explain using an example in which multiple pieces (five pieces) are attached. When attaching multiple adhesive material 3 to the separator 2, it is preferable to arrange multiple adhesive material 3 in parallel so that they are adjacent to each other in the longitudinal direction of the separator 2, as shown in Figure 1, from the viewpoint of being able to attach more adhesive material 3 and improve handling. This makes it possible to provide a sanitary product 1 in which many adhesive material 3 are attached to the separator 2.

[0024] <Adhesive material> Figure 2 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line AA in Figure 1. As shown in Figure 2, the adhesive material 3 has a base material 5 and an adhesive layer 6 formed on one side of the base material 5 that faces the separator 2. In Figure 2, it is shown that the sanitary product 1 of the present invention is composed of multiple layers, but the thickness relationships of each layer have been exaggerated for ease of understanding and do not strictly reflect the relative thicknesses (scale) of each layer in the actual sanitary product 1.

[0025] As the base material 5, single-layer films, laminated films, woven fabrics, nonwoven fabrics, knitted fabrics, paper, etc., made from one or more types of thermoplastic plastics such as polyethylene, polypropylene, ethylene / vinyl acetate copolymer, flexible polyvinyl chloride, polyurethane, and polyethylene terephthalate can be used. In particular, as the base material 5 of the mouth-closing tape, it is preferable to use a breathable and stretchable material from the viewpoint of being able to follow the displacement of the facial skin when turning over in bed, etc. Examples include mesh polyester nonwoven fabric, stretchable urethane nonwoven fabric, and stretchable and flexible knitted fabric. The thickness of the base material 5 is usually about 10 to 550 μm.

[0026] The adhesive layer 6 is formed by applying a thin film of adhesive to one side of the substrate 5. The type of adhesive is not particularly limited, but examples include natural rubber adhesives, synthetic rubber adhesives, acrylic adhesives, urethane adhesives, silicone adhesives, etc.

[0027] <Separator> Figure 3 is a front view of separator 2. As shown in Figure 3, separator 2 has a sheet material 10 and discontinuous cuts 11. The sheet material 10 is rectangular in shape, elongated in the horizontal direction (left-right direction) in the figure, and for example, its length in the short direction (up-down direction in the figure) is set to 50-60 mm and its length in the long direction (left-right direction in the figure) is set to 100-120 mm. In this example, the length in the short direction is set to about 54 mm and the length in the long direction is set to about 110 mm. Multiple discontinuous cuts 11 are arranged in the long direction of the sheet material 10 at predetermined intervals (for example, about 20 mm). In separator 2, by forming multiple discontinuous cuts 11 extending between both ends of the sheet material 10 in the short direction at predetermined intervals in the long direction of the sheet material 10, the sheet material 10 is divided into multiple (6 in this example) sheet pieces 12, and each sheet piece 12 is configured to be separable.

[0028] <Sheet material> The sheet material 10 is not particularly limited as long as it can be separated by applying tensile force (tear force) to the portion where the discontinuous cuts 11 are formed. For example, plastic films such as polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polybutylene terephthalate, polyethylene naphthalate, unoriented polypropylene, oriented polypropylene, polyethylene, polyurethane, polyvinyl chloride, and polystyrene can be used, as well as paper, laminated films made by laminating plastic films such as polyethylene or polypropylene on one or both sides of paper. Alternatively, one or both sides of the sheet material 10 may be coated with a silicone resin, fluororesin, or long-chain alkyl-based release agent and used as the separator 2 in the present invention. The thickness of the sheet material 10 (thickness of the separator 2) is not particularly limited, but is usually in the range of 10 μm to 1 mm, for example, 20 to 500 μm, preferably 40 to 200 μm.

[0029] <Discontinuous cuts>

[0030] As shown in Figure 3, the discontinuous cut 11 consists of multiple cuts 21, 22 and multiple connecting sections 31, 32 arranged alternately.

[0031] In the discontinuous cut 11, the multiple cuts 21, 22 include a pair of end cuts 21 extending inward from both ends of the sheet material 10 in the short direction (up and down direction in Figure 3), and a plurality of intermediate cuts 22 positioned between the pair of end cuts 21.

[0032] In the discontinuous cut 11, the multiple connecting sections 31, 32 include a pair of long connecting sections 31 and at least one (in this example, multiple (three)) of short connecting sections 32. The pair of long connecting sections 31 are arranged to be continuous with the pair of end cuts 21. The short connecting sections 32 are set to be shorter in length than the pair of long connecting sections 31 and are arranged at a predetermined interval (for example, about 3 mm (length of the intermediate cut 22)) between the pair of long connecting sections 31, sandwiching the intermediate cut 22.

[0033] In the separator 2 having the above configuration, when the other side is displaced relative to one side with respect to the end notch 21, a tearing force acts on one of the pair of long connecting parts 31, causing it to tear. When the tearing force acting on one of the long connecting parts 31 exceeds a certain level, that long connecting part 31 is torn and ripped off, followed by the multiple short connecting parts 32 which are shorter than the long connecting part 31, and then the other long connecting part 31 is torn and ripped off. In this way, as one long connecting part 31, the multiple short connecting parts 32, and the other long connecting part 31 are successively torn off, the portion where the discontinuous notch 11 is formed is torn and cut, and the sheet material 10 constituting the separator 2 is separated into multiple sheet pieces 12.

[0034] In order to tear or rip the long connecting portion 31, it is necessary to intentionally apply a certain amount of tearing force to the long connecting portion 31. Similarly, in order to fold the portion in which the discontinuous cut 11 including the long connecting portion 31 is formed, it is necessary to apply a certain amount of bending force to that portion. This prevents the separator 2 from unintentionally separating into multiple sheet pieces 12 or breaking in the middle. In this way, since the separator can be prevented from unintentionally separating into multiple sheet pieces, it is possible to prevent infants from accidentally ingesting the sheet pieces. Furthermore, since the separator 2 can be prevented from breaking, the hygiene product 1 can be easily packaged, and there is the advantage that packaging can be automated by an automatic packaging machine. Furthermore, since a pair of long connecting portions 31 are formed continuous with a pair of end cuts 21 that extend inward from both ends of the sheet material 10 in the short direction, when a tearing force is applied to one of the long connecting portions 31, stress concentrates at the boundary between the end cut 21 and the long connecting portion 31, making it easy to tear and rip off one of the long connecting portions 31. When one of the long connecting portions 31 is ripped off, the multiple short connecting portions 32 and the other long connecting portion 31 are sequentially ripped off, so that the portion where the discontinuous cut 11 is formed is reliably cut. In this way, when separating the separator 2 into multiple sheet pieces 12 as intended, separation can be done easily and reliably.

[0035] Figure 4 is an enlarged view of the main part of Figure 3. Figure 4(a) is an enlarged view of part B in Figure 3, and Figure 4(b) is an enlarged view of part C in Figure 3. As shown in Figure 4(a), in the separator 2, the longer the length (L1) of the end cut 21, the more the stress at the boundary between the end cut 21 and the long connecting part 31 increases when the same tearing force is applied to the long connecting part 31. Therefore, when applying a tearing force above a certain level to the long connecting part 31, the operating force required during the cutting operation of the connecting part, which causes relative displacement of one side to the other side across the end cut 21 in the separator 2, can be reduced, but the amount of operation increases, impairing operability. On the other hand, the shorter the length (L1) of the end cut 21, the less maneuver is required during the joint cutting operation. However, when the same tearing force is applied to the long joint 31, the stress at the boundary between the end cut 21 and the long joint 31 decreases relatively. As a result, the maneuvering force required during the joint cutting operation increases, impairing operability.

[0036] Therefore, in the separator 2 of this embodiment, it is preferable that the ratio (L1 / L0) of the length of the end cut 21 (L1) to the length of the discontinuous cut 11 (L0: see Figure 3) is set to 0.30 to 0.43. This makes the length of the end cut 21 (L1) appropriate to the length of the discontinuous cut 11 (L0), improves the balance between the operating force and the amount of operation during the cutting operation of the joint, and improves the operability when cutting the part in which the discontinuous cut 11 is formed. In this example, L1 is set to about 19.45 mm, L0 is set to about 54 mm, which is the same as the short side length of the sheet material 10, and L1 / L0 is set to about 0.36.

[0037] In separator 2, if the lengths of the long connecting portion 31 and the short connecting portion 32 shown in Figure 4(b) are not significantly different, that is, if the ratio of the length of the short connecting portion (L2) to the length of the long connecting portion (L3) (L2 / L3) is close to 1, then a tearing force close to a certain level of tearing force applied to one of the long connecting portions 31 must be applied to the short connecting portion 32 in order to tear it, and the series of operating forces during the connecting portion cutting operation cannot be reduced to a significant extent. If the length of the short connecting portion 32 is extremely short compared to the long connecting portion 31, that is, if the ratio of the length of the short connecting portion (L2) to the length of the long connecting portion (L3) (L2 / L3) is close to 0, the short connecting portion 32 will be torn off with an extremely low tearing force compared to the minimum tearing force applied to one of the long connecting portions 31. As a result, even if one tries to perform or interrupt the connecting portion cutting operation in stages after tearing off the long connecting portion 31, the short connecting portion will be torn off with only a small tearing force, making it difficult to perform or interrupt the connecting portion cutting operation in stages.

[0038] Therefore, with the separator 2 of this configuration, the ratio (L2 / L3) of the length of the short connecting section (L2) to the length of the long connecting section (L3) is set to 0.50 to 0.75. This makes the length (L2) of the short connecting section 32 appropriate to the length (L3) of the long connecting section 31, allowing the short connecting section 32 to be torn with a tearing force smaller than a certain minimum tearing force applied to one of the long connecting sections 31. Furthermore, the short connecting section 32 can function as an appropriate resistance during the connecting section cutting operation, improving operability during the connecting section cutting operation, and allowing the connecting section cutting operation to be performed in stages or interrupted. In this example, L2 is set to about 0.5 mm, L3 to about 0.8 mm, and L2 / L3 to about 0.63.

[0039] Figure 5 is an explanatory diagram of how to use the sanitary product 1 of this embodiment. The sanitary product 1 of this embodiment can be used in the manner shown in Figures 5(a) and 5(b).

[0040] In other words, as shown in Figure 5(a), in the sanitary product 1, a portion of the adhesive material 3 can be raised by pulling up one side portion 42 relative to one side portion 41, with respect to the end notch 21 of the separator 2. By pinching the raised portion of the adhesive material 3 and pulling it away, the adhesive material 3 can be easily peeled off the separator 2.

[0041] By performing the action of lifting a portion of the adhesive material 3 as shown in Figure 5(a), followed by the operation of cutting the connecting portion, the adhesive material 3 can be separated together with the sheet piece 12, as shown in Figure 5(b).

[0042] Since the separator 2 does not unintentionally separate into multiple sheet pieces 12 or break in the middle, it can maintain its shape as a separator 2 even if left as is after the adhesive material 3 has been peeled off, as shown in Figure 5(c).

[0043] As shown in Figure 5(d), if the portion 2a from which the adhesive material 3 has been peeled off the separator 2 is unnecessary, the unnecessary portion 2a can be easily separated from the portion 2b to which the adhesive material 3 has been attached by a connecting portion cutting operation.

[0044] In the sanitary product 1 of this embodiment, the adhesive material 3 is attached to the separator 2 so as to straddle the discontinuous cut 11. In this case, by performing a lifting operation to raise one side portion 42 relative to one side portion 41 across the end cut 21 of the separator 2, followed by a connecting portion cutting operation, the adhesive material 3 can be separated together with the sheet piece 12, as shown in Figure 5(b), so that the sheet piece 12 separated from the separator 2 remains attached to the adhesive material 3 as a gripping portion. Then, by grasping the gripping portion (sheet piece 12) with the hand, pressing the adhesive surface (adhesive layer 6) of the adhesive material 3 peeled off from the separator 2 against the affected area, and gradually peeling off the sheet piece 12 that constitutes the gripping portion while pressing the remaining adhesive surface of the adhesive material 3 against the affected area, the adhesive material 3 can be easily attached to the affected area without touching the adhesive surface with the hands.

[0045] Although the separator and sanitary products of the present invention have been described above based on one embodiment, the present invention is not limited to the configuration described in the above embodiment, and its configuration can be modified as appropriate without departing from the spirit of the invention. [Industrial applicability]

[0046] In addition to being used as a mouth-closing tape, the separator of the present invention is suitably used to protect the adhesive layer of adhesive materials, including bandages used for treating wounds and affected areas. Sanitary products to which adhesive materials are attached to the separator are suitably used to prevent snoring and mouth breathing during sleep, and for treating wounds and affected areas.
