Patent number: 9308136Abstract: An outer covering sheet (4) of a pants-type disposable diaper (1) has a front part and a back part (403) to be positioned on a front side and a back side of a wearer, and a middle part lying between the front and back parts. An absorbent body (20) is attached on the outer covering sheet (4) to absorb excrement from the wearer. Both end portions of the absorbent body, positioned in the front part and the back part (403), are folded toward the inner surface (40) of the outer covering sheet (4) and bonded on the inner surface (40). It is therefore possible to prevent skin of the wearer from being irritated by edges (241) of the end portions of the absorbent body (20) when the disposable diaper (1) is worn.Type: GrantFiled: June 15, 2011Date of Patent: April 12, 2016Assignee: LIVEDO CORPORATIONInventors: Kenji Nakaoka, Yuki Takahashi, Emi Amano

Patent number: 9101513Abstract: In a pants-type disposable diaper, an outer covering sheet formed of a nonwoven fabric has front and back parts to be positioned on front and back sides of a wearer, and a middle part between the front and back sides. An absorbent body is attached on the outer covering sheet from the front part to the back part, to absorb excrement from the wearer. Sheet members are bonded on the front and back parts, and end portions of the absorbent body are positioned and fixed between the sheet members and the outer covering sheet. In the disposable diaper, since the sheet member is a laminated sheet of plastic film and nonwoven fabric, stretching of the sheet member is suppressed and it is possible to bring the absorbent body in close contact with the crotch region of the wearer when putting the disposable diaper on the wearer.Type: GrantFiled: June 20, 2011Date of Patent: August 11, 2015Assignee: LIVEDO CORPORATIONInventors: Yuki Takahashi, Emi Amano, Kenji Nakaoka

Patent number: 8951239Abstract: A disposable diaper has an absorbent body, an outer covering sheet and two end holding sheets, and both end portions of the absorbent body are fixed between the end holding sheets and the outer covering sheet. Since a turndown portion of an upper end portion of the end holding sheet is bonded on an upper end portion of a first covering sheet, a waist covering portion has structure where the first covering sheet is laminated on the two-layered end holding sheet. Therefore, a thickness of the outer covering sheet can be reduced, while maintaining strength of the waist covering portion by appropriately selecting material of the end holding sheet, thereby to easily improve softness of the disposable diaper. Since an upper end of a second covering sheet is positioned below the turndown portion, softness and breathability in an area between the turndown portion and the second covering sheet is increased.Type: GrantFiled: July 11, 2011Date of Patent: February 10, 2015Assignee: Livedo CorporationInventors: Kenji Nakaoka, Yuki Takahashi

Patent number: 8535288Abstract: In an absorbent product (1), each of a pair of side wall parts (34) has two side wall end parts (341) bonded on both end portions of a bonded part (33) and a standing part (342) standing up from the main body part (2) between the two side wall end parts (341). The side wall part (34) is folded outwardly at an inner edge of the bonded part (33) and further folded inwardly. Each side wall end part (341) has a bonded section (3411) and a half standing part (3412) which is continuous from the standing part (342). The half standing part (3412) stands up from the main body part (2) lower than the standing part (342) and fits the vicinity of wearer's crotch in wearing. Thus, it is possible to prevent side leakage from the vicinity of end portions in a longitudinal direction of the absorbent product (1).Type: GrantFiled: October 6, 2009Date of Patent: September 17, 2013Assignee: Livedo CorporationInventor: Kenji Nakaoka
