Definitions
- the present invention relates to absorbent articles such as disposable diapers, sanitary napkins and incontinence pads.
- absorbent articles such as disposable diapers and sanitary napkins
- absorbent articles using cotton non-woven fabric containing cotton, which is a natural fiber are considered as structural members such as surface sheets in order to obtain a sense of security from natural materials. Has been.
- an absorbent article for example, in Patent Document 1, a surface sheet is made of a cotton nonwoven fabric, and a lower fiber density than the cotton nonwoven fabric between the absorber and the lower layer of the surface sheet.
- an absorbent article has been proposed in which a heat-fusible fiber sheet having hydrophilicity is interposed, and a large number of embosses are applied from the surface side in the laminated state. According to the absorbent article disclosed in Patent Document 1, it is said that moisture absorbed in the topsheet can be quickly permeated into the interior without impairing flexibility.
- the skin in such a soft state is changed to alkaline by the ammonia component derived from excreted liquid such as urine (that is, subjected to chemical stimulation), or physical stimulation is caused by friction with the surface sheet. If it is received, the skin cannot withstand these irritation and may cause rash (dermatitis).
- the present invention in an absorbent article using a non-woven fabric containing cotton as a surface sheet, causes the wearer to perceive a wet state or to feel stuffiness, thereby causing discomfort to the wearer. It is an object of the present invention to provide an absorbent article that does not easily cause a skin irritation.
- One aspect (Aspect 1) of the present invention includes a liquid-permeable surface sheet positioned on the skin-facing surface side of the wearer, a liquid-impermeable back sheet positioned on the non-skin-facing surface side of the wearer, and these An absorbent article including an absorbent body positioned between both sheets, wherein the top sheet is composed of a first fiber layer composed of cotton and thermoplastic resin fibers, and a hydrophobic thermoplastic resin fiber.
- a non-woven fabric composed of at least two fiber layers and the non-woven fabric is a surface on the skin facing surface side and formed by the second fiber layer, and The non-skin facing surface side has a second surface facing the absorber, and the nonwoven fabric has a plurality of convex portions projecting in the direction of the first surface and the adjacent convex portions.
- Kitotsu portion Provided with a plurality of recesses recessed in the direction of the second surface, Kitotsu portion has a gap portion second surface facing the nonwoven fabric, the nonwoven fabric exhibits a weakly acidic at least the convex portion, which is the absorbent article.
- the top sheet includes a first fiber layer composed of cotton and thermoplastic resin fibers, and a second fiber layer composed of hydrophobic thermoplastic resin fibers.
- the nonwoven fabric is composed of at least two fiber layers, and the nonwoven fabric includes a plurality of convex portions projecting on the first surface side and a plurality of concave portions recessed on the second surface side, and the convex portions are Since the second surface of the non-woven fabric has a void, the excretion fluid such as the wearer's urine absorbed by the absorber is released from the absorber as moisture by evaporation or the like.
- the non-woven fabric has the skin of the wearer. Since it is weakly acidic at least at the convex part that is easy to touch, it is difficult for the wearer's skin to change to alkaline (that is, it is difficult to give chemical irritation to the wearer's skin) and skin irritation (dermatitis) occurs. It is difficult to cause. From the above, the absorbent article of aspect 1 is less likely to cause discomfort to the wearer by causing the wearer to perceive a wet state or to feel stuffiness, etc. It is difficult to cause.
- the absorbent article according to another aspect (aspect 2) of the present invention is the absorbent article according to aspect 1, wherein the back sheet has air permeability.
- the absorbent article of aspect 2 since the liquid-impermeable back sheet has air permeability, moisture released from the absorber to the non-skin facing surface side is released through the back sheet. And the amount of moisture remaining in the absorbent article or between the absorbent article and the wearer's skin can be reduced. Therefore, the absorbent article of aspect 2 can make the wearer more difficult to feel stuffiness, and the wearer's skin is less likely to be swollen by moisture, resulting in skin irritation. It becomes harder to cause.
- the absorbent article according to yet another aspect (Aspect 3) of the present invention is the absorbent article according to Aspect 1 or 2, wherein the first fiber layer includes a fiber mass made of cotton.
- the absorbent article of aspect 3 since the first fiber layer disposed on the second surface (non-skin facing surface) side of the nonwoven fabric includes a fiber lump of cotton, it is released from the absorber.
- the moisture (exhaust fluid) is absorbed and held in a concentrated manner (spots) in the fiber mass of cotton in the first fiber layer, and the moisture absorbed and held in the surface direction of the first fiber layer Since the area can be reduced (spotted), the amount of moisture released from the first surface side of the first fiber layer can be minimized.
- the moisture released from the absorber can be effectively contained in the voids of the convex portions, and the wearer's skin can be more unlikely to be swollen.
- the absorbent article according to yet another aspect (aspect 4) of the present invention is the absorbent article according to any one of aspects 1 to 3, wherein the absorbent article has a back film on the non-skin facing surface side of the back sheet.
- the back film has a lower air permeability than the back sheet.
- the air permeability is low from the back sheet to the back film. Since the air permeability gradient is formed, moisture released from the absorber to the non-skin facing surface side (that is, the back sheet side) is easily drawn into the back film through the back sheet, and It becomes easy to come out of the absorbent article. As a result, it is possible to reduce the amount of moisture released from the absorbent body to the skin-facing surface side (that is, the side opposite to the back sheet), making it more difficult for the wearer to feel stuffiness, etc. It is also less likely that the person's skin will be swollen by moisture, and as a result, skin irritation is less likely to occur.
- the absorbent article according to yet another aspect (aspect 5) of the present invention is the absorbent article according to any one of aspects 1 to 4, wherein the convex portion extends in the first direction on the first surface of the nonwoven fabric. And provided at a predetermined interval in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction, and the recesses are provided between the protrusions extending in the first direction and adjacent in the second direction.
- the concave portion includes a first concave portion having a first bottom portion located on the second surface side relative to a position on the first surface side at a top portion of the convex portion, and the first concave portion in the first concave portion.
- a plurality of second recesses provided in a discontinuous manner in one direction and recessed from the first bottom toward the second surface, wherein the second recesses are formed from the first bottom to the first A peripheral wall portion extending in the direction of the two surfaces, and an end portion of the peripheral wall portion at the end portion of the second surface side It provided so as to close, and a second bottom portion having the highest fiber density in the nonwoven fabric.

Like the end, the end of the fiber is not melted and rounded to increase the fiber diameter, but the taper is cut off due to the fiber being broken or the fiber diameter is hardly changed. There is no aspect. As a result, even if the skin of the wearer touches the periphery of the hole 31, there is no thermoplastic resin fiber that has been cured by melting. It is difficult to feel the sheath and roughness.
- thermoplastic resin fibers are stretched, while some broken fibers have their broken ends. It extends into the internal space of the hole 31. That is, the internal space of the hole 31 is a mixture of thermoplastic resin fibers spanned in the internal space and a part of the extended thermoplastic resin fibers (break end portions of the break fibers), It is not a completely open space.
- the thermoplastic resin fibers in the internal space are not separated from the hole 31 and the first peripheral wall 29 or the second bottom 28 of the second recess 26. Therefore, it is possible to make it difficult to produce a sense of discomfort when the wearer's skin touches.
- the opening ratio of the internal space of the hole (the ratio of the opening area of the hole to the area of the peripheral wall (first peripheral wall) where the hole is formed) is in the range of 1 to 50%. Preferably, it is in the range of 1.5 to 35%, more preferably in the range of 2.5 to 20%.

- the 2nd surface 2b of the bottom part 28 can ensure as large a joining area
- the surface on the top sheet side of the absorbent body 4 is also formed in a substantially flat shape, so the second surface 2b of the second bottom portion 28 is a surface on the top sheet side of the absorbent body 4.
- the surface sheet 2 can be stably and firmly bonded to the absorbent body 4, so that it is difficult for the surface sheet 2 to be peeled from each other, and the excretory fluid is smoothly transferred between the surface sheet 2 and the absorbent body 4. be able to.

That is, the top sheet 2 may be tensioned in the width direction due to the second concave portion 26 being joined to the absorber 4, but the second bottom portion 28, 28 is adjacent to the second bottom portion 28, 28. Since the first bottom portion 22 having a fiber density lower than that of the bottom portion 28 and deformable more easily than the second bottom portion 28 is disposed, the above-described tension can be absorbed by the deformation of the first bottom portion 22.
- flexibility of this convex part 11 can be maintained stably.
- at least two convex portions 11 are positioned between the second concave portion 26 and the other second concave portion 26 adjacent to the second concave portion 26 in the width direction.
- the present invention is not limited to such a configuration, and the number of convex portions between the second concave portions adjacent in the width direction can be arbitrarily set.
- the topsheet 2 has a structure in which the first recess 21 of the recess 12 and the first recess 21 of another recess 12 adjacent to the recess 12 are adjacent to each other. It has a continuous part over the entire width in the width direction.

Although it has the part which continues over the full width, in this invention, the surface sheet does not need to have such a part.
- the concavo-convex structure of the topsheet is not limited to the above-described embodiment as long as the effects of the present invention can be achieved, and any concavo-convex structure can be adopted.
- the laminated structure of the nonwoven fabric used for the top sheet and the structure of the absorbent body are not limited to the structure of the above-described embodiment as long as the effects of the present invention can be achieved, and depending on the desired characteristics and applications. Any configuration can be employed.
- configurations other than the configuration different from the above-described embodiment are basically the above-described embodiment. Since it is the same as that of FIG.
- the nonwoven fabric used as the top sheet of the absorbent article is a fiber laminate composed of three fiber layers.
- a fiber laminate nonwoven fabric
- a third fiber layer intermediate layer containing thermoplastic resin fibers and not containing cotton, and a first fiber layer containing cotton adjacent to the non-skin facing surface side of the third fiber layer (non-skin Skin-facing surface side fiber layer).
- a third fiber layer is formed as an intermediate layer between the second fiber layer forming the skin facing surface of the top sheet and the first fiber layer containing cotton. Since the second fiber layer and the first fiber layer are isolated from each other, excretion fluid such as urine absorbed and held in the cotton of the first fiber layer located on the non-skin facing surface side is on the skin facing surface side. Therefore, it is possible to make it difficult for the second fiber layer located in the region to be transmitted to the wearer's skin. As a result, it is less likely that the wearer perceives a wet state and causes discomfort, and the wearer's skin contains excretory fluid (humidity released from the absorber). ) Is also less likely to occur (as a result, it is less likely to cause skin irritation).
- Specific examples of the configuration of the three-layer fiber laminate in the other embodiment include the following configurations.
- the nonwoven fabric used as a surface sheet of an absorbent article is a fiber laminated body which consists of three fiber layers, Comprising:
- This fiber laminated body (nonwoven fabric) is a nonwoven fabric.
- a second fiber layer (skin facing surface side fiber layer) forming a skin facing surface (first surface), and a first fiber layer containing cotton adjacent to the non-skin facing surface side surface of the second fiber layer ( Intermediate layer) and a third fiber layer (non-skin facing surface side fiber layer) that includes a thermoplastic resin fiber and does not include cotton adjacent to the surface of the first fiber layer on the non skin facing surface side. ing.
- the first fiber layer containing cotton and the void portion on the second surface side (non-skin facing surface side) of the convex portion in the uneven structure of the nonwoven fabric Since the third fiber layer is interposed, a region (that is, constituted by the void portion and the third fiber layer) can contain moisture released from the absorber disposed on the non-skin facing surface side of the third fiber layer. Area can be secured more widely (at this time, the third fiber layer functions as an auxiliary space for containing moisture released from the absorber). As a result, the moisture released from the absorber can be effectively contained in the region on the non-skin facing surface side than the first fiber layer, and the wearer can be made more difficult to feel stuffiness. It is also less likely that the wearer's skin will be swollen by excretory fluid (including moisture released from the absorber) (as a result, skin irritation is less likely to occur).
- Specific examples of the configuration of the three-layer fiber laminate in the other embodiment include the following configurations.
- thermoplastic resin fiber included in the third fiber layer is not particularly limited, and is the same as the thermoplastic resin fiber included in the first fiber layer or the second fiber layer. Can be used. Furthermore, in these other embodiments, each fiber layer has the same basis weight of the thermoplastic resin fibers, and the thermoplastic resin fibers contained in the second fiber layer and the third fiber layer described above, It is preferable that each has a fiber diameter (fineness) larger than the thermoplastic resin fiber contained in the first fiber layer. When the nonwoven fabric (fiber laminate) has such a configuration, the amount of fibers (number of fibers) of the thermoplastic resin fibers contained in the first fiber layer inevitably depends on the above-described second fiber layer and third fiber.
- the strength of the first fiber layer containing cotton can be further improved. Further, in such a nonwoven fabric, the thermoplastic resin fibers of the first fiber layer are easily entangled with the thermoplastic resin fibers of the second fiber layer or the third fiber layer, so that the fiber layer constituting the nonwoven fabric is relatively rigid. Even when high cotton is included, delamination between the fiber layers hardly occurs.
- the absorbent article has a back film on the non-skin facing surface side of the back sheet (that is, the side opposite to the absorber),
- the air permeability is lower than that of the back sheet.
- the back sheet has a back film with low air permeability on the non-skin facing surface side of the back sheet, an air permeability gradient is formed in which the air permeability decreases from the back sheet to the back film. Moisture released toward the non-skin facing surface side (that is, the back sheet side) is likely to be drawn into the back film through the back sheet, and further easily pulled out of the absorbent article.
- the absorbent body has a squeezed portion on the non-skin facing surface side of the absorbent body.
- excretion fluid absorbed and retained by the absorbent body tends to accumulate in the pressing part on the non-skin facing surface side of the absorbent body. Since it is difficult to remain on the skin-facing surface side of the absorbent body, the amount of moisture released from the absorbent body to the skin-facing surface side (i.e., on the surface sheet side) can be reduced. In addition to making it more difficult to feel stuffiness, it is even less likely that the wearer's skin will be swollen by excretory fluid (and as a result, skin irritation is less likely to occur).
- an absorber has a linear pressing part extended in the longitudinal direction and / or width direction of an absorbent article in the surface at the non-skin opposing surface side of this absorber, Furthermore, it has the some dotted
- the amount of moisture released (that is, on the top sheet side) can be reduced, and the wearer can be made more difficult to feel stuffiness.
- the squeezed squeezed parts function as a liquid absorbing part due to a high fiber density and capillary action. Therefore, excretion fluid such as urine is easily spot-absorbed into the absorbent body, and is less likely to be released to the skin-facing surface side (that is, to the surface sheet side) through the point-like compressed portion, resulting in Further, it is possible to reduce the amount of moisture released from the absorber to the skin facing surface side, and to make the wearer more difficult to feel stuffiness. Furthermore, it is even less likely that the wearer's skin will be swollen by moisture, and as a result, skin irritation is less likely to occur.
- the top sheet includes the longitudinal axis of the absorbent article (that is, the central axis in the width direction extending in the longitudinal direction) and extends in the longitudinal direction in plan view.
- the absorbent article has a central region and a pair of outer regions located on both sides in the longitudinal direction with respect to the central region and extending in the longitudinal direction.

Abstract
Description
また、着用者の肌(皮膚)が尿などの排泄液やその湿気によって濡れた状態に保たれると、着用者の皮膚がふやけてしまい、化学的刺激や物理的刺激に対する耐性を維持し難くなる(すなわち、皮膚の各種刺激に対する防御機能が低下する)。そして、このようなふやけた状態の皮膚が、尿などの排泄液に由来するアンモニア成分によってアルカリ性に変化したり(すなわち、化学的刺激を受けたり)、表面シートとの摩擦等によって物理的刺激を受けたりすると、皮膚がこれらの刺激に耐えきれずに、かぶれ(皮膚炎)などを引き起こす虞があった。
さらに、前記不織布は、着用者の肌対向面となる第1面が前記第2繊維層により形成されているので、前記第1繊維層のコットンに吸収・保持された尿などの排泄液を、着用者の肌に接触し難くすることができる上、着用者の肌(皮膚)がふやけるようなことも生じ難くなっている。
また、仮に、尿などの排泄液(吸収体から放出される湿気を含む。)が前記第2繊維層を透過して着用者の肌に接触したとしても、前記不織布は、着用者の肌が触れ易い少なくとも前記凸部において弱酸性を呈するものであるため、着用者の肌がアルカリ性に変化し難く(すなわち、着用者の肌に化学的刺激を与え難く)、皮膚のかぶれ(皮膚炎)を引き起こし難くなっている。
以上より、態様1の吸収性物品は、着用者に濡れた状態を知覚させたり、蒸れなどを感じさせたりして、着用者に不快感を生じさせるようなことが起こり難く、皮膚のかぶれも引き起こし難くなっている。
したがって、態様2の吸収性物品は、着用者に蒸れなどをより感じ難くさせることができる上、着用者の肌が湿気によってふやけるようなこともより生じ難くなり、結果的に、皮膚のかぶれもより引き起こし難くなる。
また、繊維層中に含まれるコットンの量が多くなると、コットンの剛性によって繊維層の柔軟性が低下してしまい、当該繊維層を含む積層不織布のクッション性や肌触り、身体形状への追従性などが損なわれる虞があるが、本態様5の吸収性物品によれば、着用者の肌に触れ易い前記凸部及び前記第1凹部の繊維密度が相対的に低いこと、着用者の肌に最も触れ易い部分が接触面積の小さい前記凸部の頂部であること、並びに、不織布の第1面側から掛かる厚さ方向の応力を、前記第1凹部が前記第2面側に撓むことによって緩衝することができることから、表面シートがコットンを含む不織布から構成されていても、十分に柔軟性を確保することができる。
また、吸収体の肌対向面側の面において複数の点状圧搾部を有していること、すなわち、繊維密度が高く毛細管現象を利用した吸液部として機能する前記点状圧搾部を有していることによって、尿などの排泄液が吸収体内へとスポット的に吸収され易くなるとともに、前記点状圧搾部を介して肌対向面側へ放出され難くなるため、吸収体から肌対向面側に放出される湿気の量を低減することができ、着用者に蒸れをより一層感じ難くさせることができる。
さらに、着用者の肌が湿気によってふやけるようなこともより一層生じ難くなり、結果的に、皮膚のかぶれもより一層引き起こし難くなる。
なお、使い捨ておむつ1は、図1及び図2に示すように、一対の側部シートからなる一対の防漏壁部5、5と、着用者の大腿部に当接する左右の脚周り部をそれぞれ長手方向Lに伸縮させるためのゴム等からなる伸縮部材6と、着用時に使い捨ておむつの腹部領域と背側領域を連結するため連結テープ7とを更に備えていて、裏面シート3の非肌対向面側には、外装シート(不図示)が設けられている。
なお、本実施形態において裏面シート3は、表面シート2との間に吸収体4を挟んだ状態で、前記表面シート2とその周縁部分において相互に接合されている。
また、この不織布は、後述するように、着用者の肌が触れ易い少なくとも前記凸部11において弱酸性を呈するように構成されている(なお、本実施形態においては、上述の凸部11及び凹部12を含む前記不織布の第1面2aの全面において弱酸性を呈するように、第2繊維層202を構成する熱可塑性樹脂繊維205が後述する弱酸性化剤によって被覆されている)。
さらに、表面シート2を構成する不織布は、着用者の肌対向面となる第1面2aが前記第2繊維層202により形成されているので、第1繊維層201のコットン203に吸収・保持された尿などの排泄液を、着用者の肌に接触し難くすることができる上、着用者の肌(皮膚)がふやけるようなことも生じ難くなっている。また、仮に、尿などの排泄液(吸収体から放出される湿気を含む。)が第2繊維層202を透過して着用者の肌に接触し得たとしても、上述の不織布が、着用者の肌が触れ易い前記凸部11において弱酸性を呈するものであるため、着用者の肌がアルカリ性に変化し難く、皮膚のかぶれ(皮膚炎)を引き起こし難くなっている。
したがって、本実施形態に係る使い捨ておむつ1は、上述の特定の表面シート2を備えていることにより、着用者に濡れた状態を知覚させたり、蒸れなどを感じさせたりして、着用者に不快感を生じさせるようなことが起こり難く、皮膚のかぶれも引き起こし難くなっている。
<弱酸性評価法>
(1)ブロモチモールブルー溶液(BTB溶液)を中性緩衝液により希釈して、弱酸性評価用のpH指示薬を調製する。
(2)測定する不織布の表面に、上記pH指示薬を1滴スポイトで滴下するか、或いは霧吹きで噴霧する。
(3)上記pH指示薬が付着した不織布の表面を、ガラス棒で軽く押さえて、不織布を構成する繊維と上記pH指示薬とを馴染ませる。
(4)上記pH指示薬を付着させてから10秒経過後の不織布の表面の色を目視にて確認し、予め作製しておいた各pH毎の色見本と色を対比することにより、上記不織布の表面のpHを判定する。上記不織布の表面のpHが3.0~6.0を呈する場合を、「弱酸性」とする。
なお、上述の各pH毎の色見本は、次のようにして作製する。
(i) 予めpHが判明している複数種類(例えば、pHが1.0ずつ又は0.5ずつ異なる等のpHの異なる複数種類)の溶液(例えば、異なるpHを有する複数種類のpH緩衝溶液又は該pH緩衝溶液の希釈溶液等)を、色見本用標準液として用意する。
(ii) 用意したそれぞれ色見本用標準液に、上記pH指示薬を適量滴下して呈色させることにより、各pH毎の色見本を作製する。
本発明において、表面シートを構成する不織布の第1繊維層は、実質的にコットン及び熱可塑性樹脂繊維から構成される。この第1繊維層に含まれるコットンは、本発明の効果を阻害しない限り特に制限されず、例えば、繊度が1.0~15dtexの範囲内であり、繊維長が5~40mmの範囲内であるコットンなどを用いることができる。中でも、繊維長が20mm以上のコットンは、第1繊維層を後述する第2繊維層と積層した際に(すなわち、繊維積層体を形成した際に)、コットン繊維の一部が第2繊維層の内部に入り込み易く、不織布の液透過性を向上させることができるため、好適に用いることができる。また、繊維長が20mm以上のコットンと、繊維長が10mm以下のコットンとを混合した混合コットンは、繊維長が20mm以上のコットンにより不織布の液透過性を向上させつつ、繊維長が10mm以下のコットンにより不織布の嵩を増大させることができるため、特に好ましく用いることができる。
また、このような熱可塑性樹脂からなる繊維の構造は、特に制限されず、例えば、芯鞘型繊維、サイド・バイ・サイド型繊維、島/海型繊維等の複合繊維;中空タイプの繊維;扁平、Y字形、C字形等の異形断面繊維;潜在捲縮又は顕在捲縮の立体捲縮繊維;水流、熱、エンボス加工等の物理的負荷により分割する分割繊維などが挙げられ、これらの繊維は単独で使用しても、二種類以上の繊維を併用してもよい。
本発明において、表面シートを構成する不織布の第2繊維層は、実質的に疎水性の熱可塑性樹脂繊維から構成される。かかる疎水性の熱可塑性樹脂繊維は、疎水性を有するものであれば特に制限されず、任意の熱可塑性樹脂繊維を用いることができる。表面シートの肌対向面(第1面)を形成する第2繊維層が疎水性の熱可塑性樹脂繊維によって構成されていると、かかる第2繊維層は排泄液やその湿気を吸収・保持し難いため、着用者に濡れた状態を知覚させたりして、不快感を生じさせるようなことが起こり難い。
ここで、本明細書における「疎水性」とは、水となじみ難い或いは水分を保持し難い性質を意味し、例えば、イオン交換水との接触角が80°~100°程度となるものをいう。なお、イオン交換水との接触角は、特開2005-324010号公報における「初期接触角の測定」に記載された方法により測定することができる。
また、繊維積層体が第1繊維層と第2繊維層の2層の繊維層からなる場合、第2繊維層を構成する疎水性の熱可塑性樹脂繊維は、繊維同士の絡み合いのし易さなどの点から、第1繊維層に含まれる熱可塑性樹脂繊維と同様の繊維(すなわち、第1繊維層に含まれる熱可塑性樹脂繊維と同様の材質からなり、同様の繊維長を有する繊維など)を用いることが好ましい。
なお、第2繊維層は、上述のとおり、実質的に疎水性の熱可塑性樹脂繊維から構成されるが、本発明の効果を阻害しない範囲内においては、前記熱可塑性樹脂繊維以外の繊維や任意の添加剤などを含んでいてもよい。
これらの中でも、酸化分解し難く、着用者から排出される排泄液の温度で作用し易いという点から、融点が40℃以下の不飽和脂肪酸又は油類を用いることが好ましく、さらに、融点が30℃以下の不飽和脂肪酸又は油類を用いることがより好ましい。
なお、上述の有機酸及び油類は、それぞれ単独で用いても、2種類以上を併用してもよく、また、任意の添加剤(例えば、酸化防止剤、エモリエント剤、着色剤、香料等)を含んでいてもよい。
また、上述の有機酸及び油類以外の弱酸性化剤としては、例えば、特開2014-109078号公報や特開2014-231666号公報に開示されている透水性付与剤などが挙げられる。この透水性付与剤は、不織布に耐久性のある透水性も付与することができるため、好適に用いることができる。
なお、表面シートを構成する不織布が、3層以上の繊維層からなる繊維積層体によって構成された態様については、後述する本発明の別の実施形態において詳述する。
(1)シート状部材を一の方向に搬送する搬送装置と、該搬送装置の上方において搬送方向の上流側に配置された第1段のカーディング装置と、前記搬送装置の上方において搬送方向の下流側(すなわち、第1段のカーディング装置よりも下流側)に配置された第2段のカーディング装置と、該第2段のカーディング装置の下流側に配置されたエアスルー方式の加熱装置とを備えた製造装置を用意する。
(2)前記第1段のカーディング装置に、第2繊維層を形成するための熱可塑性樹脂繊維を供給し、前記カーディング装置内の回転ロールのピンによって前記熱可塑性樹脂繊維を開繊して、前記第2繊維層に対応するウェブを前記搬送装置の搬送面上に形成する。
(3)前記搬送装置の搬送面上に形成された前記第2繊維層に対応するウェブを、搬送方向の下流側に搬送しながら、前記第2段のカーディング装置に、第1繊維層を形成するためのコットンと熱可塑性樹脂繊維を供給し、前記カーディング装置内の回転ロールのピンによって各繊維を開繊して、前記第1繊維層に対応するウェブを、搬送中の前記第2繊維層に対応するウェブ上に形成する。
(4)前記第2繊維層に対応するウェブ上に前記第1繊維層に対応するウェブが積層した積層ウェブを、前記エアスルー方式の加熱装置に搬送し、該加熱装置内で、各ウェブ内及びウェブ間の繊維同士を交絡させ、任意に前記熱可塑性樹脂繊維同士を熱融着させるとともにコットンを熱可塑性樹脂繊維の表面に融着固定させることにより、前記第1繊維層と前記第2繊維層とが積層した2層の繊維積層体を製造することができる。
さらに、凹部12は、図3~図7に示すように、凸部11の頂部13における第1面2aの位置よりも吸収体4側に位置する第1底部22を備えた第1凹部21と、この第1凹部21内において長手方向Lに不連続に設けられ、第1底部22に開口する窪み状に形成された複数の第2凹部26とを有している。この第2凹部26は、第1底部22から吸収体側(すなわち、第2面側の方向)に向かって延設された周壁部27と、この周壁部27の吸収体4側の端部において該端部を塞ぐように設けられた、表面シート2の中で最も繊維密度が高い第2底部28とを備えている。
また、本実施形態においては、凸部11は、吸収体の前記長手方向(第1方向)における両方の端縁を超えて延設されているが、本発明においては、このような態様に限定されず、凸部は、吸収体の前記第1方向における少なくとも一方の端縁まで又は一方の端縁を超えて延設されていてもよい。凸部がこのように延設されていると、吸収体の肌対向面側から放出される湿気だけではなく、吸収体の長手方向(第1方向)における端縁(側面)から放出される湿気に対しても、上述の凸部の第2面側の空隙部に封じ込めることができるため、着用者に蒸れなどをより一層感じさせ難くすることができる。
なお、上述の実施形態においては、凸部11の頂部13における第2面2bと吸収体4の表面シート側の面との間の距離が、第1底部22の第1面2aにおいて最も吸収体4に近い部分と吸収体4の表面シート側の面との間の距離よりも小さくなっているが、本発明においては、表面シートと吸収体との剥離を安定的に抑止できれば、凸部の頂部における第2面と吸収体の表面シート側の面との間の距離と、第1底部の第1面において最も吸収体に近い部分と吸収体の表面シート側の面との間の距離との関係は、必ずしもこのような関係を満たしていなくてもよい。
なお、かかる孔部の内部空間の開孔率(孔部が形成された周壁部(第1周壁部)の面積に対する、孔部の開口面積の比率)は、1~50%の範囲内であることが好ましく、1.5~35%の範囲内であることがより好ましく、2.5~20%の範囲内であることが更に好ましい。かかる開孔率が1%以上であると、凸部や凸部内の繊維に十分な自由度を付与することができるため、凸部の柔軟性を良好にすることができる。一方、かかる開孔率が50%以下であると、孔部の設けられた第1周壁部の強度を確保し易い上、孔部の周縁の境目が触感上認識し難くなる。ただし、かかる開孔率は、吸収性物品の種類や用途等に応じて上記の範囲以外であってもよく、任意に設定することができる。
したがって、表面シート2は、吸収体4と安定的且つ強固に接合することができるため、相互に剥離し難く、また、表面シート2と吸収体4との間の排泄液の移行もスムーズに行うことができる。
なお、上述の実施形態においては、第2底部28の第2面2bが略平坦状に形成されているが、本発明においては、第2底部における接合強度や液移行性を十分に確保することができれば、第2底部の第2面は、必ずしも略平坦状に形成されていなくてもよい。さらに、上述の実施形態においては、第1底部22の一部が、吸収体4の表面シート側の面に接合されているが、本発明においては、表面シートと吸収体が安定的に接合されていれば、第1底部は、必ずしも吸収体に接合されていなくてもよい。なお、この場合であっても、第2底部は吸収体に接合されていることが好ましい。
表面シート2をこのように構成すると、当該表面シート2が吸収体4から剥離するのをより安定的に防ぐことができ、凸部の柔軟性も維持し易くなる。すなわち、表面シート2は、第2凹部26が吸収体4に接合されていることによって、幅方向に張力が発生する可能性があるが、隣り合う第2底部28、28の間に、第2底部28よりも繊維密度が低くて該第2底部28よりも変形し易い第1底部22が配置されているため、かかる第1底部22の変形によって上述の張力を吸収することができる。これにより、凸部11の幅方向の自由度が阻害され難くなるため、かかる凸部11の柔軟性を安定的に維持することができる。
なお、上述の実施形態においては、表面シート2が、第2凹部26と、その第2凹部26に幅方向において隣り合う他の第2凹部26との間に、少なくとも2つの凸部11が位置した構成を有しているが、本発明においては、このような構成に限定されず、幅方向に隣り合う第2凹部間の凸部の数は、任意に設定することができる。
表面シート2がこのような部分を有していると、第1凹部21における第1底部22の変形し易さを利用して、凸部11に、より高い柔軟性を付与することができる。すなわち、表面シート2が、隣り合う凸部11同士の間に、吸収体4に接合された第2凹部26が存在しない部分を有していると、かかる第2凹部26の第2底部28よりも繊維密度が低く、該第2底部28に比べて変形し易い第1底部22が、上述の凸部11を着用者の動きに合わせて肌に追従させ易くすることができるため、かかる凸部11をより安定的に肌にフィットさせることができる。さらに、第1底部22の柔軟性を利用して、凸部11も、より柔軟に変形することができるため、表面シート2全体として、より一層高い柔軟性を確保することができる。
なお、上述の実施形態においては、表面シート2は、凹部12の第1凹部21と、その凹部12と隣り合う他の凹部12の第1凹部21とが相互に隣り合う構造が、幅方向の全幅に亘って連続する部分を有しているが、本発明においては、表面シートは、このような部分を有していなくてもよい。
また、表面シートに用いる不織布の積層構成や吸収体の構成等についても、本発明の効果を奏し得るものであれば上述の実施形態の構成に限定されず、所望の特性や用途等に応じて任意の構成を採用することができる。
表面シートとして用いられる不織布がこのように構成されていると、表面シートの肌対向面を形成する第2繊維層とコットンを含む第1繊維層との間に、中間層として第3繊維層が介在して、第2繊維層と第1繊維層とが隔離されるため、非肌対向面側に位置する第1繊維層のコットンに吸収・保持された尿などの排泄液が肌対向面側に位置する第2繊維層に、ひいては着用者の肌に更に伝わり難くすることができる。これにより、着用者に濡れた状態を知覚させたりして、不快感を生じさせるようなことがより起こり難くなり、さらに、着用者の肌が排泄液(吸収体から放出される湿気を含む。)によってふやけるようなことも、より生じ難くなる(結果的に、皮膚のかぶれもより引き起こし難くなる)。

表面シートとして用いられる不織布がこのように構成されていると、コットンを含む第1繊維層と不織布の凹凸構造における凸部の第2面側(非肌対向面側)の空隙部との間に、第3繊維層が介在する構造となるため、かかる第3繊維層の非肌対向面側に配置された吸収体から放出される湿気を封じ込める領域(すなわち、空隙部及び第3繊維層によって構成される領域)を、より広く確保することができる(このとき、第3繊維層は、吸収体から放出される湿気を封じ込める補助空間として機能する)。その結果、吸収体から放出された湿気を、第1繊維層よりも非肌対向面側の領域において効果的に封じ込めることができ、着用者に蒸れなどをより一層感じ難くさせることができる上、着用者の肌が排泄液(吸収体から放出される湿気を含む。)によってふやけるようなことも、より生じ難くなる(結果的に、皮膚のかぶれもより引き起こし難くなる)。
