The object set forth above is achieved, accord-ing to the present invention, by disposable garments comprising a liquid pervious topsheet, a liquid impervious zs backsheet, an absorbent core disposed therebetween and stretchable elastic means mounted around leg-openings formed on opposite sides of a crotch section defined between front and rear sections of the 'yG_i-1~-1~~ l~;:y~ _.~~~n?~~7~;e:1 p.,,*a ;"4J,~ F.F_,i21 r shaots, wherein there are provided adhesive areas can at least one of said vop-~ and backsheets alonr~ curved oonfigurations of the l~g~-opening;3, each o~ the adhesive area being defined by a plurality of spiral adhesive traces, and the stretchable elastic means are bonded to at least one of the top- anc~ backsheets a~,t~ng ~~he adhesivo areas, respec'~ively.
Preferably, the stxbi:dhable elastic means axe:
stretdhable transversely c~~ axes o~ the respective spiral adhesive traces defining the adhesitre areas.
Preferably, eadh o~ the elastic means compr~.ses first and second elastic members, respective ir~te~rrnediate portions of the first and seoond elastic members being positioned substant~.ally at the central area o~ the drc~tch section, and opposite end portions of the first elastic member are positioned substantially along front halves of the leg..
openings, respectively, while opposite end portions o~ the second elas'~id member are positic~riad. substantially slang rear halves of the 1~g-openings, xes~aedtively.
~n 'the garments of the pr~sent invention constructed as have been described, each of the adhesive areas for fixation of 4he elastic means is defined by a plurality of spiral adhesive traces having therein fine and many non-adhesive spaces. .such feature of the invant'ian minimises deterioration in stratchabil~.ty and suppleness of the tc~p.-w 3 '9G_1-1.~-1=~ lc~;~lE :;~il?~~;,rr:y",~:x~:.~°4 ~~

noted again that a degree of .such spacing reduction depends on the running v~locities of the first and second elastic members 4A, 4H as well as of the baoksheet '7. Portions (intermediate portians 9Aa, 4B~, in Fig. ~) ref the first and second elastic members 9A, ~~3 defined between each pair or adjacent intersections 9G slacken and get close to eaoh other, because the baoksheet 7 carries no adhesive on thg area thereof facing these intermediate portions ~A~, 982.
However, these intermediate ~aortiot~s 9Aa, ~1~Z also may be bond~d Go the backsheet 7 with adhesive, On the aont~.nuoue backsheet 7 thus prc5vided with the first and second elastic members 4A, 4a, the sores 8 axe placed at g~.ven positions, then the continuous topsheet 6 is pla~oed on this assembly to form continuous laminate and th~.s continuous laminate. 9.s severed along cha~.n~2~.nes '! 8 into individual laminat~:s ox garments. the individual laminate obtained in this manner is constructed as il7.ustrated in.an exploded perepectiv~ view by F~;c~. ~.

The first and second elastic members 9.~, 4H diverge from the respective intersectiong.toward front ant rear halves of~the respective notched edges 13, 14 and, 9.n addition, comprise the plural filzxmentous e~,astio elements, so that a direot transfer or contxa,ction stress generated in one of these elastio members to the other elastic member never occurs and said shift car displacement is avoided further effectivt~~.y.
In the illustrated embodiment wherein each of the first and second elastic members hA, 98 comprises a plura~.ity of filamentous elastic element, the previously mentioned function of the spiral adhesive traces 17' ex~peot.ed with respect to the elastic members is more ~ffeot3.ve than in the case wherein sash elastic member comprises a.n integral single member, beoause the elongation stress~is dis'~ributed in a plurality of filai~entous ela,st3o elements ~cnd corr~spondingly weakened, Though not sht~wn, the ~,r~ner side ' '.!G_1-1=-1 ~~ 18: :L;~ W l2W:rrr,~ f, ~,:p~ ;" 4:,~

Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide disposable garments having around the top- and/or backsheet(s) around the leg-openings adhesive areas each defined by a plurality of spiral adhesive traces ~s on which the elastic means are mounted so that stretchability as well as suppleness of the top- and/or backsheet(s) are not sacrificed and the elastic means once mounted on the adhesive areas are not displaced therefrom.
zo SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The object set forth above is achieved, accord-ing to the present invention, by disposable garments comprising a liquid pervious topsheet, a liquid impervious zs backsheet, an absorbent core disposed therebetween and stretchable elastic means mounted around leg-openings formed on opposite sides of a crotch section defined between front and rear sections of the 'yG_i-1~-1~~ l~;:y~ _.~~~n?~~7~;e:1 p.,,*a ;"4J,~ F.F_,i21 r shaots, wherein there are provided adhesive areas can at least one of said vop-~ and backsheets alonr~ curved oonfigurations of the l~g~-opening;3, each o~ the adhesive area being defined by a plurality of spiral adhesive traces, and the stretchable elastic means are bonded to at least one of the top- anc~ backsheets a~,t~ng ~~he adhesivo areas, respec'~ively.
Preferably, the stxbi:dhable elastic means axe:
stretdhable transversely c~~ axes o~ the respective spiral adhesive traces defining the adhesitre areas.
Preferably, eadh o~ the elastic means compr~.ses first and second elastic members, respective ir~te~rrnediate portions of the first and seoond elastic members being positioned substant~.ally at the central area o~ the drc~tch section, and opposite end portions of the first elastic member are positioned substantially along front halves of the leg..
openings, respectively, while opposite end portions o~ the second elas'~id member are positic~riad. substantially slang rear halves of the 1~g-openings, xes~aedtively.
~n 'the garments of the pr~sent invention constructed as have been described, each of the adhesive areas for fixation of 4he elastic means is defined by a plurality of spiral adhesive traces having therein fine and many non-adhesive spaces. .such feature of the invant'ian minimises deterioration in stratchabil~.ty and suppleness of the tc~p.-w 3 '9G_1-1.~-1=~ lc~;~lE :;~il?~~;,rr:y",~:x~:.~°4 ~~

The first and second elastic members 9.~, 4H diverge from the respective intersectiong.toward front ant rear halves of~the respective notched edges 13, 14 and, 9.n addition, comprise the plural filzxmentous e~,astio elements, so that a direot transfer or contxa,ction stress generated in one of these elastio members to the other elastic member never occurs and said shift car displacement is avoided further effectivt~~.y.
In the illustrated embodiment wherein each of the first and second elastic members hA, 98 comprises a plura~.ity of filamentous elastic element, the previously mentioned function of the spiral adhesive traces 17' ex~peot.ed with respect to the elastic members is more ~ffeot3.ve than in the case wherein sash elastic member comprises a.n integral single member, beoause the elongation stress~is dis'~ributed in a plurality of filai~entous ela,st3o elements ~cnd corr~spondingly weakened, Though not sht~wn, the ~,r~ner side ' '.!G_1-1=-1 ~~ 18: :L;~ W l2W:rrr,~ f, ~,:p~ ;" 4:,~
