Abstract: A lid that closes a mouth of a container is made of a material principally including a paper material. The lid includes a side wall that is fitted into the mouth of the container, and a top lid that is surrounded by the side wall. The top lid includes an inlet/outlet formation part that forms an inlet/outlet for an article stored in the container, and a temporary fixing part that temporarily fixes the inlet/outlet formation part to the top lid. This can achieve a lid that has satisfactory thermal insulation, can reduce leakage, is user-friendly, can reduce a manufacturing cost, and is conscious of environmental issues.

Abstract: A paper lid for a container includes a body portion, a top lid portion having an outer periphery surrounded by the body portion, and an engaging portion in the body portion that includes a tapered portion tapering in the same direction as the container taper and engages with the container curl portion. The body portion has a first end portion for mounting on the container and an opposite second end portion. The outer periphery is bent toward the first end portion, and has a bent portion bonded to the body portion. A part other than the outer periphery is between the engaging portion and the second end portion. An inner diameter of a tip of the tapered portion is smaller than an outer diameter of the container curl portion. Where the lid closes the container opening, the container curl portion contacts an inner part of the tapered portion.

Abstract: In order to absorb a small amount of liquid, to prevent an absorbent article from being disintegrated by the absorbed liquid, and to prevent piping of a toilet from being clogged even if the absorbent article is flushed into a flush toilet, the absorbent article includes a pulp layer containing a crushed pulp or fibers mainly containing a crushed pulp, and the pulp layer has a water repellent surface layer portion formed by applying a water repellent agent to at least one surface layer portion.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a moist toilet tissue, cleaning wipe or personal wipe having improved dispersibility. The moist toilet tissues, cleaning wipes and personal wipes are sufficiently strong during use and disperse sufficiently quickly under real world conditions to be flushable without creating potential problems for sanitation systems.

Abstract: A paper lid with good usability includes a lid body portion that includes a paper material to be mounted on a container including an opening portion, a taper, and a curl portion. A first engaging portion is provided in the lid body portion and includes a taper in the same direction as a direction of the taper. The first engaging portion engages with the curl portion from outside the curl portion. A body portion side curl portion is provided in the lid body portion and is positioned above the first engaging portion.

Abstract: Provided is a multi-ply sheet production method and a multi-ply sheet production device for producing a multi-ply sheet which uses an elastic member, exhibits stretchability, and has reduced residual strain. The multi-ply sheet production method includes forming a multi-ply sheet by joining a first fibrous sheet, and a second fibrous sheet including a material containing a cellulose-based component, with an elastic member interposed therebetween, the elastic member being in a stretched state and coated with an adhesive on peripheral surface, and then heat-treating the multi-ply sheet at a temperature in accordance with the thermal characteristics of the adhesive.

Abstract: In order to realize an easy-to-use absorbent article having excellent absorbency of body fluids and having excellent usability, the absorbent article may include a first absorbent body configured to absorb body fluids, a second absorbent body configured to absorb body fluids, and a thermally-fusible fiber provided between the first absorbent body and the second absorbent body that is capable of retaining the first absorbent body and the second absorbent body.

Abstract: In order to reduce a cost with a simple configuration, a covering article includes a liquid diffusive sheet having a property of diffusing absorbed liquid, a moisture-permeable film laminated on the liquid diffusive sheet, and a plurality of elastic members joined to at least one of the liquid diffusive sheet or the moisture-permeable film and arranged substantially in parallel. A pair of opposing side edges are joined such that the plurality of elastic members are substantially annular. The liquid diffusive sheet is positioned closer to a skin of a user than the moisture-permeable film when the user wears the covering article, and the substantially annular elastic members press a wearing site of the user.

Abstract: In order to provide a clothing manufacturing apparatus capable of improving production efficiency, a clothing manufacturing apparatus includes a cylindrical member having openings at both ends; and reversing means configured to reverse lower body clothing inside out by passing the lower body clothing in a state in which the cylindrical member is inserted through a waist opening of the lower body clothing and a crotch portion of the lower body clothing covers one of the openings of the cylindrical member through inside of the cylindrical member from the crotch portion.

Abstract: A method for efficiently obtaining a raised sheet as a sheet for cleaning that has raised cleaning portions and effectively collects dust is described. Manufacturing a raised sheet can include stacking a base material sheet and fiber aggregate, applying a load to fibers of the fiber aggregate under an unheated state, forming joining portions by partially joining the fiber aggregate and the base material sheet, forming a fiber bundle joined to the base material sheet in the joining portions by cutting the fiber aggregate at portions where the fiber aggregate and the base material sheet are not joined, and raising fibers by injecting fluid to the fiber bundle.
