| 摘要 |
The invention relates to an incontinence article (2) in the form of underpants, wherein the crotch segment (8) overlaps the belly segment (4) in a front overlapping area (36) and the crotch segment (8) overlaps with the back segment (6) in a rear overlapping area (38), wherein the outside (86) of the crotch segment (8) is inseparably joined to the inside (41) of the belly segment (4) in a front connecting area (306) and the outside (86) of the crotch segment (8) is inseparably joined to the inside (41) of the back segment (6) in a rear connecting area (308), wherein the connecting area (306, 308) of the belly segment (4) and the rear segment (6) each comprise a first joining area (310), 312) and second joining areas (314a, 314b, 316a, 316b), wherein the first joining area (310, 312) extends at least in segment below the absorption body (7), and wherein the second joining areas (314a, 314b, 316a, 316b) are provided in an area (320a, 320b, 322a, 322b) crossing each longitudinal edge (48) of the crotch segment (8), thus flashing both a partial area (324a, 324b, 326a, 326b) of the overhang (66a, 66b) of the crotch segment (8) and a partial area (328a, 328b, 330a, 330b) of the belly segment (4) and/or the back segment (6) adjacent thereto, and wherein each second joining area (314a, 314b, 316a, 316b) extends in the longitudinal direction (9), starting from a transverse edge (58, 60) of the belly segment (4) and/or the back segment (6) facing the crotch, in the direction toward the longitudinal ends (98, 100) of the crotch segment (8), and wherein each second joining area (314a, 314b, 316a, 316b) is formed by joining means (340) in the form of welding points, particularly ultrasonic welding points, thermal welding points, and/or calender welding points, so that the second joining areas (314a, 314b, 316a, 316b) form reinforcement areas (334a, 334b, 336a, 336b). |

1. An incontinence article in pants form for receiving body excretions, the article comprising:
a front stomach portion; a rear back portion; a crotch portion comprising an absorbent body, said crotch portion having an inner side, an outer side as well as longitudinal peripheries and longitudinal ends, said crotch portion thereby extending in a longitudinal direction between said stomach Portion and said back portion, wherein each of said stomach portion and said back portion has an inner side and a crotch-facing transverse periphery, said crotch portion thereby overlapping with said stomach portion in a front overlapping region and with said back portion in a rear overlapping region, said crotch portion further comprising a liquid-impermeable backsheet material and a topsheet material between which said absorbent body is disposed, said absorbent body also having longitudinal peripheries, at least one of said topsheet material and said backsheet material forming an overhang extending beyond said longitudinal periphery of said absorbent body; two side seams generated by connecting together said stomach portion and said back portion by a manufacturer of the article on both sides thereof, said front stomach portion and said rear back portion thereby forming a stomach and back band which is continuous in a transverse or waist-encircling direction and defining a waist opening that is closed in said waist-encircling direction, wherein said crotch portion, said stomach portion and said back portion thereby also define leg openings of the incontinence article; first elasticating means disposed in said stomach portion and said back portion, spaced apart from one another and extending parallel to one another in said transverse or waist-encircling direction to thereby elasticize said stomach portion and said back portion over surface areas thereof; second elasticating means disposed in a crotch-side region of said stomach portion and of said back portion facing said leg openings; a front connecting region disposed, structured and dimensioned to inseparably join said outer side of said crotch portion to said inner side of said stomach portion; and a rear connecting region disposed, structured and dimensioned to inseparable join said outer side of said crotch portion to said inner side of said back portion, wherein said front and rear connecting regions of said stomach portion and of said back portion each respectively comprise a first joining region and second joining regions, said respective first joining region extending, at least in certain portions, beneath said absorbent body, wherein said second joining regions are disposed to bridge a respective said longitudinal periphery of said crotch portion and to extend over both a subregion of said overhang of said crotch portion and a subregion adjacent thereto of said stomach portion and/or of said back portion, a respective said second joining region extending in said longitudinal direction from a respective said crotch-facing transverse periphery of said stomach portion and/or said back portion towards said longitudinal ends of said crotch portion, said second joining regions being formed by joining means structured as welding locations, ultrasonic welding locations, thermal welding locations and/or calender welding, locations, thereby forming reinforcing regions, wherein a ratio P′/H of a subregion of a respective said overhang that is extended over by said second joining region and having a width (P′), to a respective said overhang with a width (H) in said front and/or said rear overlapping region, is at least 0.01, at least 0.04, at least 0.07, at least 0.10, at most 0.90, at most 0.80, at most 0.70, at most 0.60, at most 0.50 or at most 0.40. |
