Abstract:
Absorbent article includes: a sheet-type leakage-preventing body; absorbent body on the leakage-preventing body top; pair of left and right floating leg gathers (FLGs) on the absorbent body top to extend in longitudinal direction from front end absorbent article main body, traversing a front main section, crotch part, and rear main section, to rear end. Each FLGs have top and trailing parts adjoining the top part. Left and right FLGs arrange so top parts face inwards and trailing parts face outwards. Front and rear ends FLGs are joined respectively to the vicinity of the absorbent article main body front and rear end. Trailing part trails downwards from top part towards the absorbent body. Left and right FLGs join in vicinity of trailing part lower end to the absorbent article main body and/or absorbent body surface forming front and rear pockets distance from the absorbent body surface in the crotch part vicinity.
Abstract:
Diapers, including infant diapers, training pants, and adult incontinence articles, and the like having a specific elastically stretchable transverse separator sheet for excrement separation and/or isolation away from the skin, and process for making the same.
Abstract:
A disposable pull-on type diaper has a separator interposed between an inner surface of an absorbent chassis and the wearer's skin so as to protect the diaper wearer's skin from being soiled with feces. The separator is formed by a piece of sheet extending from a bottom of a crotch region of the diaper toward a front waist region and a rear waist region and fixed to lateral edges of the crotch region. The piece of sheet has a front end and a rear end both extending in a transverse direction of the crotch region. These front end and rear end are free along middle segments thereof as viewed in the transverse direction of the crotch region from an inner surface of an absorbent chassis and inseparably integrated with each other.
Abstract:
An absorbent wearing article includes a liquid-absorbent structure and an excrement receiving structure having a plurality of passages defined by flexible walls formed from flexible sheets and disposed along a liquid-absorbent surface of the liquid-absorbent structure.
Abstract:
A sheet piece is folded along a first center line thereof to define a first half and a second half. End edges of these two halves are bonded to each other at their middles. The folded sheet piece is placed upon a crotch region of a basic structure, with the first center line being brought close to a second center line of the basic structure. Lateral edges of the first half are bonded to the crotch region. The basic structure is folded back along the second center line. The inner surface of the basic structure is bonded to the outer surface of the lateral edges of the second half. Regions of the first and second halves defined between the respective lateral edges are spaced from the crotch region. Front and rear waist regions of the basic structure are bonded along the lateral edges to obtain a pants-shape diaper.
Abstract:
A secondary internal topsheet and leg wrap structure is provided in a disposable absorbent garment such as a diaper or training pants. The leg wrap structure has a base layer, a top layer, and an elastic construction disposed inbetween. The elastic construction includes a plurality of spaced apart elastic elements that are aligned in a generally in generally parallel relation. The leg wrap structure and secondary topsheet provides for the efficient formation of a reservoir and a plurality of fluid dams each capable of capturing a quantity of fluid to minimize the occurrence of fluid leaks from the absorbent article. Methods of forming such absorbent articles are disclosed.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a disposable pants-type diaper including on a crotch region thereof a separator adapted to prevent feces from coming in contact with the wearer's skin. A basic structure has the crotch region, which is provided with a folded sheet piece attached thereto so as to form the separator. The folded sheet piece is obtained by folding back the sheet piece along a first transverse center line thereof to define a first half and a second half placed upon each other and bonding end edges of these two halves to each other at responsive middles of these end edges in a transverse direction. With the first transverse center line brought close to a second transverse center line, the folded sheet piece is placed upon the crotch region and the lateral edges of the first half are bonded to the crotch region while a region of the first half defined by the lateral edges is kept to be spaced from the crotch region. Then, the basic structure is folded back along the second transverse center line and the inner surface of the basic structure is bonded to the outer surface of the lateral edges of the second half while a region of the second half defined between the lateral edges is kept to be spaced from the crotch region. Of the basic structure folded back in this manner, the front and rear waist regions are bonded along the lateral edges to make the basic structure in a pants-shape.

Abstract:
The present invention is directed to an absorbent article having a backsheet, an absorbent core and cuffs and/or a topsheet, the topsheet being provided with at least one opening adapted to receive fecal material, the cuffs or topsheet comprising a nonwoven sheet material, comprising typically at least two nonwoven layers, the layers being typically only partially attached to one another and each comprising typically two or more nonwoven webs that are laminated together, whereof the skin-contacting nonwoven layer or web has a specific low bending rigidity, whilst the nonwoven sheet as a whole has a very high barrier function.
Abstract:
A diaper is provided on its inner side with a tufted sheet strip assembly. The assembly comprises a plurality of sheet strips, a sheet-like base member to which fixed end zones of the respective sheet strips are permanently bonded, and elastically biasing means adapted to space a transversely intermediate zone of the sheet-like base member from the inner side of the diaper.
