Wearing article

摘要

In a wearing article including front and rear waist panels and a crotch panel, a pair of leg sheets including backing sheets and leg elastics attached under tension between two layers of the respectively doubled up backing sheets extends along lateral edge portions of the crotch panel, and distal end portions of the leg sheets are attached to respective skin-facing surfaces of the front and rear waist panels through first and second joint regions. In this way, the pair of leg sheets has an elastically contractible region between the first and second joint regions and elastically relaxed regions in end portions located outboard of the first and second joint regions in a longitudinal direction, and the elastically relaxed regions are formed on surfaces thereof with gathers.

主权项

1. A wearing article having a longitudinal direction and a transverse direction being orthogonal to the longitudinal direction, the wearing article comprising:
a skin-facing surface; a non-skin-facing surface lying on a side opposite to the skin-facing surface; front and rear waist panels respectively defining front and rear waist regions; a crotch panel defining a crotch region lying between the front and rear waist regions; and an absorbent structure disposed on the skin-facing surface of at least the crotch panel, wherein: the crotch panel has
front and rear end portions extending in the transverse direction,lateral edge portions extending in the longitudinal direction, anda pair of leg sheets extending along the lateral edge portions; each of the leg sheets includes a backing sheet and at least one leg elastic attached under tension to the backing sheet so as to extend in the longitudinal direction; each of the leg sheets is attached to the skin-facing surfaces of the front and rear waist panels through first and second joint regions, respectively; each of the leg sheets has an elastically contractible region lying between the first and second joint regions; each of the leg sheets has elastically relaxed regions in end portions located outboard of the first and second joint regions in the longitudinal direction, and the elastically relaxed regions are formed on surfaces thereof with gathers; and the front and rear waist panels are respectively disposed with cover sheets adapted to cover the respective elastically relaxed regions which are not directly attached to the front and rear waist panels.
