Abstract: A disposable pant-type diaper according to the present invention includes a front portion, a back portion, and a crotch portion which is positioned between the front and back portions, in which a waist opening and a pair of leg openings are formed by joining both longitudinal side-edge portions of the front and back portions which face each other, and stretchable elastic members are disposed along at least a part of each opening, wherein a cutout portion is formed in at least a portion of the side-edge portion of at least one of the front and back portions, and the front and back portions assume a non-joining state at the portion where the cutout portion is formed.

Abstract: A disposable diaper is provided, including an absorber, a top sheet, a back sheet, and a skin contact sheet (SCS) disposed above the top sheet. The skin contact sheet is formed with a stool passing opening and a urine passing opening at a portion corresponding to a crotch part, and includes an SCS central region formed by extending a strip-shaped inter-opening region, which is sandwiched by the two openings and extends in the width direction, by half the length between the openings in the anterior direction and in the posterior direction; an SCS ventral region located at the ventral side from the SCS central region; and an SCS dorsal region located at the dorsal side from the SCS central region. A least the SCS central region has the stretching force in the width direction, and an inter-opening central region sandwiched by the two openings includes a non-stretchable region.

Abstract: A disposable diaper is provided, including an absorber, a top sheet arranged to cover the top surface of the absorber, a back sheet arranged to cover the bottom surface of the absorber, and a skin-contact sheet arranged over the top sheet. The top sheet is at least partially composed of a liquid-permeable material, the back sheet is composed of a liquid-impermeable material, and the skin-contact sheet is at least partially composed of a breathable waterproof sheet and is provided with a feces-passing opening capable of allowing feces to pass therethrough.

Abstract: There is provided a disposable diaper which can allow the skin of a wearer to be negligibly brought into direct contact with excreted feces and can efficiently prevent urine backflow and feces backflow. The disposable diaper includes an absorber, a top sheet arranged so as to cover the top surface of the absorber, a back sheet arranged so as to cover the bottom surface of the absorber, and a skin-contact sheet arranged over the top sheet. The top sheet is at least partially composed of a liquid-permeable material, the back sheet is composed of a liquid-impermeable material, and the skin-contact sheet is at least partially composed of a breathable waterproof sheet and is provided with an opening (feces-passing opening) allowing passage of feces.

Abstract: An ink jet recording sheet, having high ink absorption, water resistance, persistency, a satisfactory fabric-like soft touch, mechanical strength and being capable of recording ink images having a high quality, includes a foamed undercoat layer formed on a surface of a substrate sheet and comprising a polymeric binder and an ink-receiving layer formed on the foamed undercoat layer from a mixture of 50 to 90% by weight of an amorphous silica having an oil absorption value of 100 to 400 ml/100 g with 10 to 50% by weight of a polymeric binder, and provided with a surface thereof having a Bekk smoothness of 10 seconds or less determined by JIS P 8119.

Abstract: A bio-degradable composite nonwoven fabric for plant cultivation includes a wood pulp paper sheet laminated on a bio-degradable aliphatic polyester filament nonwoven fabric, wherein the polyester filaments and the pulp fibers are entangled to each other and a plurality of spot regions which are spaced from each other, are substantially free from the pulp fibers and have a decreased distribution density of the polyester filaments of 30 to 50%, an area of 0.16 to 16 mm.sup.2 and a total area coresponding to 5 to 60% of the total surface area of the composite nonwoven fabric, are formed. The polyester filament distribution density is defined as the ratio of the total area of the polyester filaments appearing within the spot regions to the total surface area of the spot regions, determined from photographs of the spot regions.
