A pet toilet (A) of the present invention is provided with a footing-constituting member [()] constituting a footing for a pet conducting an excreting action and a frame () surrounding the footing-constituting memberand rectangular in a plan view. The frame () is configured so as to be foldable by folding one set of opposite sides () of two sets of opposite sides constituting the frame such that central portions thereof in a lengthwise direction of the one set are directed inward of the frame. The footing-constituting member () is supported by supporting bodies () projecting from inner circumferential faces (B) of the frame () inward of the frame () from a lower side of the footing-constituting member. The supporting bodies () are composed of portions of sides () constituting the frame (), are arranged to be approximately flush with inner circumferential faces (B) of the frame () without projecting the inner circumferential faces (B) to be put in a stored state during nonuse, and are caused to project inward of the frame () to be put in use state during use.

The wrapping film of the present invention has a sticky surface, convexities, and flat portions of film disposed between the convexities on at least one side, and comprises at least one agent selected from the group consisting of a surface active agent, an adhesive agent, and an oily agent. The wrapping film has a shear adhesion strength of at most 400 cN/25 cm when measured subsequent to bringing said sticky surface into contact with a glass surface having a surface roughness of from 0.7 to 1.5 nm under a pressure of 4 Pa, a shear adhesion strength of at least 700 cN/25 cm when measured subsequent to bringing said sticky surface into contact with said glass surface under a pressure of 4 kPa, and the ratio of the height of the convexities to the thickness of the flat portion ranges from 0.03 to 1.67. The wrapping film may also have a surface with a roughness and waviness (Ra&prime;) of at least 40 nm as measured in a non-extended state, and an elongation at break of at least 10%.

A cleaning apparatus includes a handle for a cleaning cloth to be attached thereto, and a flat bag-like cleaning cloth having an insertion space therein. The handle is provided at a front end portion of a handle body with a head portion. The head portion is inserted into the insertion space, thereby attaching the cleaning cloth to the head portion. The cleaning cloth includes a joined portion formed by joining non-woven fabrics together and having a flat bag-like configuration defining an insertion space in the internal area of the cleaning cloth and a non-joined portion being provided at an external area of the joined portion.

Cleaning cloth and cleaning apparatus

An absorbent article such as a disposable diaper, effective to prevent liquid from leaking, comprises a liquid-impermeable back sheet, a liquid-permeable top sheet, an absorbent provided between the back sheet and the top sheet and a liquid-permeable surface sheet fixed on the top sheet at both ends of the surface sheet at the longitudinal direction of the article, but not fixed thereto at the intermediate part.

Absorbent article

A disposable diaper having a liquid pervious top-sheet, a liquid impervious and vapor pervious backsheet and an absorbent core interposed between the topsheet and the backsheet comprising interposing liquid impervious and vapor pervious barrier sheets between the topsheet and the backsheet, said barrier sheets being extended from the front edge and the rear edge of the diaper to the inwards of the front edge and the rear edge of the absorbent core respectively, to thereby form waist barrier parts covering the front edge and the rear edge of the absorbent core, and the barrier sheets being so formed that the intensity in the lateral direction of the diaper is higher than the intensity in the longitudinal direction of the diaper.
