Abstract

A disposable gown includes front and rear trunk regions. The front trunk region has a first neckline extending transversely and first armhole lines rectilinearly and obliquely extending downward from lateral ends of the first neckline toward respective armpits. The rear trunk region has a second neckline extending transversely and second armhole lines rectilinearly and obliquely extending downward from lateral ends of the second neckline toward the armpits. A crossing angle θ1 between both first extensions generated when the first armhole lines are extended upward from lateral ends of the first neckline is larger than a crossing angle θ2 between the both second extensions generated when the second armhole lines are extended upward from lateral ends of the second neckline. Each of sleeves is bonded to a basic trunk portion so that each of the first armhole lines of the front trunk region may coincide with a first sleeve bonding line of each of the sleeves and each of the second armhole lines of the rear trunk region may coincide with a second sleeve bonding line of each of the sleeves.

Claims

1. A disposable gown composed of a basic trunk portion having a front trunk region covering the breast and belly of a wearer and a rear trunk region covering the back of the wearer, and both sleeves attached to the both sides of the upper end of said basic trunk portion, wherein:

the front trunk region has a first neckline extending transversely in the middle of the upper end of the front trunk region and first armhole lines rectilinearly and obliquely extending downward from lateral ends of said first neckline toward respective armpits of said basic trunk portion, said rear trunk region has a second neckline extending transversely in the middle of its upper end and second armhole lines rectilinearly and obliquely extending downward from lateral ends of said second neckline toward said armpits, and a crossing angle θ

1 between both first extensions generated when said first armhole lines are extended upward from lateral ends of said first neckline is larger than a crossing angle θ

2 between the both second extensions generated when said second armhole lines are extended upward from lateral ends of said second neckline; and

each of said sleeves has a first sleeve bonding line extending straight parallel to the first armhole line of said front trunk region and a second sleeve bonding line extending straight parallel to the second armhole of said rear trunk region, each of said sleeves being bonded to said basic trunk portion so that each of the first armhole lines of said front trunk region may coincide with the first sleeve bonding line of each of said sleeves and each of the second armhole lines of said rear trunk region may coincide with the second sleeve bonding line of each of said sleeves.

2. The gown according to

claim 1

, wherein said crossing angle θ

1 is in the range of 35°

-160° and

said crossing angle θ

2 is in the range of 30°

-155°

.

3. The gown according to

claim 1

, wherein said rear trunk region has a first rear trunk half contiguous to one side edge of said front trunk region and a second rear trunk half contiguous to the other said edge of said front trunk region.

4. The gown according to

claim 1

, wherein said basic trunk portion and each of said sleeves are formed with a non-woven fabric or a laminated sheet made of a non-woven fabric and a thermoplastic synthetic resin sheet.
