Abstract: A pants-type disposable wearing article includes a liquid-pervious topsheet, a liquid-impervious backsheet, a liquid-absorbent panel interposed between these sheets and a liquid-impervious outer sheet lying on the outer side of the backsheet, and having a waist-hole and leg-holes. This article has a first folding guide formed in left half of the crotch region, a second folding guide formed in right half of the crotch region and third folding guides transversely extending between the first and second folding guides so that first and second regions of the crotch region are folded along the first and second folding guides so as to be tucked toward inner sides of the respective leg-holes and the third region of the crotch region is folded along the third folding guides so as to be tucked toward the waist-hole.

Abstract: A disposable diaper includes a backsheet comprising an elastic inner layer and an inelastic outer layer. The elastic inner layer, in a transversely stretched state, is joined to the inelastic outer layer at a plurality of intermittently disposed spots. The spots are lined up to form a series of imaginary lines disposed on a bias between the longitudinal and transverse directions of the disposable diaper. In each of areas between the spots, defined by a plurality of intersecting imaginary lines that pass through a plurality of the spots that are closely arranged in succession, the inelastic outer layer is free to separate from the elastic inner layer upon contraction (relaxation) of the elastic inner layer, and thereupon the outer layer forms a plurality of longitudinal pleats. The pleats, formed by relaxing the transversely stretched inner layer, are disposed in a direction that is substantially normal to the direction of stretching.

Abstract: A disposable pull-on type wearing article has a front waist region and a rear waist region which are overlapped with each other along side edges thereof and integrated together at sealing spots so as to form lateral waist zones. A surface to come in contact with the wearer's skin in the respective lateral waist zones is provided with cover sheets each bonded to the front and rear waist regions so as to cross a border line between these front and rear waist region. Such an arrangement prevents the sealing spots from coming in contact with the wearer's skin.

Abstract: A disposable pants-type diaper includes a front waist region sheet, a rear waist region sheet and a body fluid absorbent pad. The front and rear waist region sheets are bonded together in the vicinity of transversely opposite side edges thereof and the pad is curved in a U-shape and has longitudinally opposite ends bonded to the inner side of the front and rear waist region sheets. Periphery of a lower edge of the front waist region sheet draws a curve which is convex upward and this-lower edge intersects transversely opposite side edges of the pad to define tops of a pair of leg-holes. A first elastic member extending along the lower edge of the front waist region sheet intersects third elastic members of the pad in the vicinity of the tops and then descend rearward of the diaper.

Abstract: Here is disclosed a liquid-absorbent material molding drum for making liquid-absorbent materials to be incorporated in disposable diapers or the like. A molding depression is formed on its bottom with a plurality of protrusions each protruding outward in a diametrical direction of the drum and being relatively long in a circumferential direction of the drum. These protrusions are continuously arranged in the circumferential direction but distanced one from another by a predetermined dimension in an axial direction of the drum.

Abstract: A package assembly includes a package and a plurality of disposable diapers. These diapers are compactly packed in a state of compression with the front and rear regions placed against one another in a back-and-forth direction.
