特許文献1及び特許文献2記載の吸収性物品は共に、中高部を有する吸収体を構成部材としている。吸収体に中高部を設けると、吸収体の部材数が増加したり、製造工程数が増加し、吸収性物品の製造の手間及びコストが増える。更に、特許文献2記載の吸収性物品は、立体ギャザーシートの収縮力によって中高部を隆起させており、伸縮性を有する立体ギャザーシートも構成部材となっている。
また、特許文献2記載の吸収性物品は、立体ギャザーシートの収縮力により、中高吸収体を長手方向内側へ収縮させており、吸収体を幅方向に亘るシワが発生し、体液が該シワに沿って横漏れする可能性がある。
Both of the absorbent articles described in Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2 include an absorbent body having a middle-high portion as a constituent member. When the middle and high parts are provided in the absorbent body, the number of members of the absorbent body is increased, the number of manufacturing steps is increased, and the labor and cost of manufacturing the absorbent article are increased. Furthermore, the absorbent article described in Patent Document 2 has the middle and high portions raised by the contraction force of the three-dimensional gather sheet, and the three-dimensional gather sheet having elasticity is also a constituent member.
In the absorbent article described in Patent Document 2, the medium-high absorbent body is contracted inward in the longitudinal direction due to the contraction force of the three-dimensional gather sheet, wrinkles are generated in the width direction of the absorbent body, and body fluid is generated in the wrinkles. There is a possibility of side leakage along.

従って、本発明の目的は、着用時に吸収体が肌側へ向って隆起し、優れたフィット性を有しており、製造が容易な吸収性物品を提供することにある。   Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide an absorbent article that is easy to manufacture because the absorbent body bulges toward the skin when worn, has an excellent fit.

本発明は、吸収層及び防漏層を備えた吸収性物品であって、前記吸収層における肌当接面側の長手方向両側部に一対の溝が設けられており、一対の該溝は、前記吸収層の長手方向に延びる中心線に対して略線対称な形状を有しており、一対の該溝それぞれは、長手方向中央領域において幅方向外側に凸に湾曲するように形成されており、さらに、一対の前記溝それぞれは、前記長手方向中央領域から前方部または/および後方部に延びており、前記長手方向中央領域の前後の少なくとも一方において幅方向内側に括れた部分を有しており、該括れた部分において幅方向に跨ぐような折り線で折り畳まれている吸収性物品を提供することにより、上記目的を達成したものである。   The present invention is an absorbent article provided with an absorbent layer and a leak-proof layer, wherein a pair of grooves are provided on both sides in the longitudinal direction on the skin contact surface side in the absorbent layer, and the pair of grooves, The absorbent layer has a substantially line-symmetric shape with respect to a center line extending in the longitudinal direction, and each of the pair of grooves is formed to be convexly curved outward in the width direction in the central region in the longitudinal direction. Furthermore, each of the pair of grooves extends from the longitudinal central region to the front portion and / or the rear portion, and has a portion constricted inward in the width direction in at least one of the front and rear of the longitudinal central region. And the said objective is achieved by providing the absorbent article folded | folded by the fold line which straddles the width direction in this constricted part.

本発明の吸収性物品によれば、着用時に吸収体が肌側へ向って隆起し、優れたフィット性を有しており、製造が容易である。   According to the absorbent article of the present invention, the absorbent body bulges toward the skin when worn, has excellent fit, and is easy to manufacture.

以下、本発明の吸収性物品の好ましい本実施形態について、図1〜図6を参照しながら説明する。   Hereinafter, preferable this embodiment of the absorbent article of this invention is described, referring FIGS. 1-6.

本実施形態の吸収性物品は、生理用ナプキン1であり、図1に示すように、液保持性の吸収層10及び液不透過性の防漏層11を備え、実質的に縦長である。ナプキン1における吸収層10は、液透過性の表面シート2及び液保持性の吸収体4とからなり、防漏層11は、液不透過性の裏面シート3からなる。本実施形態のナプキン1における吸収層10を形成している吸収体4のパルプ坪量は300〜600g/m2であり、比較的大きな坪量となっている。
本実施形態のナプキン1は、図1に示すように、吸収層10における肌当接面側の長手方向両側部にヒートシール加工によるエンボスである一対の溝5,5が設けられている。一対の該溝5,5は、図2に示すように、吸収層10の長手方向に延びる中心線及び幅方向に延びる中心線それぞれに対して略線対称な形状を有しており、一対の溝5,5それぞれは、長手方向中央領域において幅方向外側に凸に湾曲するように形成されている。さらに、一対の溝5,5それぞれは、前記長手方向中央領域から前方部Aおよび後方部Cに延びており、前記長手方向中央領域の前後において幅方向内側に括れた部分5D,5Eを有している。
詳述すると、一対の該溝5,5それぞれは、幅方向外側に凸に湾曲している部分5A,5B,5Cが長手方向に3つ連なって形成されている。また、本実施形態のナプキン1において、長手方向の真ん中に位置する凸に湾曲している部分5Bは、ナプキン1を長手方向に前方部A、前記長手方向中央領域である排泄部対向部B(着用者の液排泄部に対向配置される排泄部対向領域を幅方向中央に有する部分)及び後方部Cに区分した際の排泄部対向部Bに配されている。
更に、本実施形態のナプキン1は、その使用前においては、一対の溝5,5それぞれにおける3つの幅方向外側に凸に湾曲している部分5A,5B,5Cの間に位置する2つの幅方向内側に括れた部分5D,5Eそれぞれを幅方向に跨ぐような折り線S1,S2(図2参照)で、図3に示すように、3つ折りに折り畳まれている。
The absorbent article of the present embodiment is a sanitary napkin 1 and includes a liquid-retaining absorbent layer 10 and a liquid-impermeable leak-proof layer 11 as shown in FIG. The absorbent layer 10 in the napkin 1 is composed of a liquid-permeable top sheet 2 and a liquid-retaining absorbent body 4, and the leak-proof layer 11 is composed of a liquid-impermeable back sheet 3. The pulp basis weight of the absorbent body 4 forming the absorbent layer 10 in the napkin 1 of the present embodiment is 300 to 600 g / m 2, which is a relatively large basis weight.
As shown in FIG. 1, the napkin 1 of the present embodiment is provided with a pair of grooves 5 and 5 that are embossed by heat seal processing on both side portions of the absorbent layer 10 on the skin contact surface side in the longitudinal direction. As shown in FIG. 2, the pair of grooves 5, 5 has a shape substantially axisymmetric with respect to the center line extending in the longitudinal direction and the center line extending in the width direction of the absorption layer 10. Each of the grooves 5 and 5 is formed to be convexly curved outward in the width direction in the central region in the longitudinal direction. Further, each of the pair of grooves 5 and 5 extends from the longitudinal central region to the front part A and the rear part C, and has portions 5D and 5E that are constricted inward in the width direction before and after the longitudinal central region. ing.
More specifically, each of the pair of grooves 5 and 5 is formed by connecting three portions 5A, 5B, and 5C that are convexly curved outward in the width direction in the longitudinal direction. Further, in the napkin 1 of the present embodiment, the convexly curved portion 5B located in the middle of the longitudinal direction includes the front part A in the longitudinal direction and the excretory part facing part B (the central region in the longitudinal direction). It is arranged in the excretion part facing part B when the excretion part opposing area | region arrange | positioned facing a wearer's liquid excretion part is divided into the width direction center) and the rear part C.
Further, the napkin 1 of the present embodiment has two widths positioned between the portions 5A, 5B, and 5C that are convexly curved outward in the three width directions in each of the pair of grooves 5 and 5 before use. Fold lines S1 and S2 (see FIG. 2) that cross each of the portions 5D and 5E confined to the inner side in the width direction are folded in three as shown in FIG.

本実施形態のナプキン1について、更に説明すると、一対の溝5,5それぞれにより、表面シート2と吸収体4とが接合されている。一対の該溝5,5それぞれは、図2に示すように、ナプキン1を長手方向に前方部Aから排泄部対向部Bを通って後方部Cにまで亘って設けられている。また、一対の溝5,5それぞれは、図4に示すように、ナプキン1の厚み方向に吸収体4の裏面側近傍にまで深く延びて形成されており、排泄された体液が多量であっても、該体液は、肌当接面のみならず該溝5で一旦止められるため、該溝5を通って吸収体4に移動することもできる。   The napkin 1 of the present embodiment will be further described. The top sheet 2 and the absorbent body 4 are joined by the pair of grooves 5 and 5 respectively. As shown in FIG. 2, each of the pair of grooves 5 and 5 is provided so that the napkin 1 extends from the front part A through the excretory part facing part B to the rear part C in the longitudinal direction. Further, as shown in FIG. 4, each of the pair of grooves 5 and 5 is formed to extend deeply in the thickness direction of the napkin 1 to the vicinity of the back surface side of the absorbent body 4, and a large amount of body fluid is excreted. However, since the body fluid is temporarily stopped not only by the skin contact surface but also by the groove 5, it can also move to the absorbent body 4 through the groove 5.

一対の溝5,5について詳述すると、一対の溝5,5は、図2に示すように、吸収層10の前方部A及び後方部Cそれぞれにおいて、繋がって閉じている。そのため、ナプキン1が、着用時に幅方向から圧縮力を受けた場合、幅方向の中央部で長手方向に沿って2つ折りにされることが効果的に防止されている。
また、一対の該溝5,5を形成しているシール部は、前方部Aにおいて前方に向って尖った形状を有して繋がっており、且つ後方部Cにおいて後方に向って尖った形状を有して繋がっている。そのため、前後方向の溝の幅(長手方向の長さ)が高坪量の吸収体を使用するほど広がってしまい、肌触りを低下させる場合もあったが、本実施形態のナプキン1では高坪量の吸収体4と表面シート2とを、幅の狭いシール部により接合することが可能となり、肌触りを良好に保つことができる。
The pair of grooves 5 and 5 will be described in detail. The pair of grooves 5 and 5 are connected and closed at the front part A and the rear part C of the absorbent layer 10 as shown in FIG. Therefore, when the napkin 1 receives compressive force from the width direction at the time of wearing, it is effectively prevented that the napkin 1 is folded in two along the longitudinal direction at the center portion in the width direction.
In addition, the seal portion forming the pair of grooves 5 and 5 is connected to the front portion A with a sharp shape toward the front, and has a sharp shape toward the rear at the rear portion C. Have and be connected. Therefore, the width of the groove in the front-rear direction (length in the longitudinal direction) increases as the high basis weight absorber is used, and the touch may be lowered, but the napkin 1 of the present embodiment has a high basis weight. The absorbent body 4 and the surface sheet 2 can be joined by a narrow seal portion, and the touch can be kept good.

本実施形態のナプキン1において、前述した一対の溝5,5により囲まれている吸収体4の中央部分は、ナプキン1が着用時に幅方向から圧縮力を受けた場合、肌方向へ向って隆起する隆起部40を形成している。尚、着用前の隆起部40は、隆起しておらず、ほぼ均一な吸収体坪量となっている。
隆起部40は、図2に示すように、ナプキン1の長手方向に延びる中心線及び幅方向に延びる中心線それぞれに対して略線対称な形状である。また、隆起部40は、幅方向両外側に凸に湾曲した部分が、長手方向に3つ連なって形成されており、前方部A、排泄部対向部B及び後方部Cそれぞれに、幅方向両外側に凸に湾曲した前記部分40A,40B,40Cが設けられている。前記部分40Aと前記部分40Bとの間、及び前記部分40Bと前記部分40Cとの間には、それぞれ、2つの幅方向内側に括れた部分40D及び40Eが形成されている。
In the napkin 1 of the present embodiment, the central portion of the absorbent body 4 surrounded by the pair of grooves 5 and 5 described above is raised toward the skin direction when the napkin 1 receives a compressive force from the width direction when worn. A raised portion 40 is formed. In addition, the protruding part 40 before wearing does not protrude, but has a substantially uniform absorbent basis weight.
As shown in FIG. 2, the raised portion 40 has a substantially line-symmetric shape with respect to the center line extending in the longitudinal direction of the napkin 1 and the center line extending in the width direction. Further, the protruding portion 40 is formed with three portions curved in a convex manner on both outer sides in the width direction, and is formed in the front portion A, the excretory portion facing portion B, and the rear portion C. The portions 40A, 40B, and 40C that are convexly curved outward are provided. Between the part 40A and the part 40B and between the part 40B and the part 40C, two parts 40D and 40E that are confined inward in the width direction are formed, respectively.

隆起部40において、前記部分40Aの両側縁部は、図2に示すように、一対の溝5,5の前記部分5A,5Aから形成されており、前記部分40Bの両側縁部は、一対の溝5,5の前記部分5B,5Bから形成されており、前記部分40Cの両側縁部は、一対の溝5,5の前記部分5C,5Cから形成されている。   In the raised portion 40, both side edges of the portion 40A are formed from the portions 5A and 5A of the pair of grooves 5 and 5, as shown in FIG. 2, and both side edges of the portion 40B are The grooves 5 and 5 are formed from the portions 5B and 5B. Both side edges of the portion 40C are formed from the portions 5C and 5C of the pair of grooves 5 and 5.

本実施形態のナプキン1における隆起部40において、排泄部対向部Bの前記部分40Bの幅W1(長手方向において幅方向に沿った最大幅)は、図2に示すように、前方部A及び後方部Cにおける前記部分40A及び40Cそれぞれの幅W2(長手方向において幅方向に沿った最大幅)よりも広くなっている。また、排泄部対向部Bの前記部分40Bの長手方向に沿った長さL1は、図2に示すように、前方部A及び後方部Cにおける前記部分40A及び40Cそれぞれの長手方向に沿った長さL2よりも長くなっている。
このような形状を有する隆起部40の前記部分40Bは、ナプキン1の着用時に、着用者の排泄部を長手方向及び幅方向に亘って覆うように当接する。
In the raised portion 40 of the napkin 1 of the present embodiment, the width W1 (the maximum width along the width direction in the longitudinal direction) of the portion 40B of the excretory portion facing portion B is, as shown in FIG. Each of the portions 40A and 40C in the portion C is wider than the width W2 (the maximum width in the longitudinal direction along the width direction). Moreover, the length L1 along the longitudinal direction of the part 40B of the excretory part facing part B is a length along the longitudinal direction of the parts 40A and 40C in the front part A and the rear part C, as shown in FIG. It is longer than L2.
The said part 40B of the protruding part 40 which has such a shape contact | abuts so that a wearer's excretion part may be covered over a longitudinal direction and the width direction at the time of wear of the napkin 1. FIG.

また、本実施形態のナプキン1は、図3に示すように、製品の状態では3つ折りに折り畳まれている。ナプキン1は、その一対の溝5,5の2つの括れた部分5D,5Eそれぞれにおいて、幅方向に跨ぐような折り線S1,S2で折り畳まれるため、折り畳みやすく、且つ該折り線S1,S2によるシワの発生が最小限となるようになされている。
ナプキン1を使用する際には、タブテープ8が外され、折り畳まれている前方部A及び後方部Bそれぞれが長手方向外側に開かれる。このように展開されたナプキン1の隆起部40において、2つの括れた部分40D、40Eそれぞれを幅方向に跨ぐ折り線S1,S2の跡はシワとなって残っている。
Moreover, the napkin 1 of this embodiment is folded in three in the state of a product, as shown in FIG. Since the napkin 1 is folded at the two constricted portions 5D and 5E of the pair of grooves 5 and 5 at the folding lines S1 and S2 extending across the width direction, the napkin 1 is easily folded and is formed by the folding lines S1 and S2. The generation of wrinkles is minimized.
When the napkin 1 is used, the tab tape 8 is removed, and each of the folded front part A and rear part B is opened outward in the longitudinal direction. In the raised portion 40 of the napkin 1 developed in this manner, the marks of the fold lines S1 and S2 straddling the two constricted portions 40D and 40E in the width direction remain as wrinkles.

次に、本実施形態のナプキン1が着用された状態について、以下に説明する。
ナプキン1は、ショーツ等の股下部内側に固定して着用され、ナプキン1の排泄部対向部Bにおける表面シート2の部分は、着用者の排泄部に当接する。この際ナプキン1は、図5に示すように、着用者の両太ももの付け根内側により左右から幅方向内側(図5中の矢印の方向)へ圧縮力を受ける。
ナプキン1は、左右から幅方向内側へ圧縮力を受けると、隆起部40における2つの括れた部分40D及び40Eそれぞれを幅方向に跨ぐ折り線S1,S2跡のシワを起点に、図5に示すように、表面シート2と共に隆起部40全体が肌側へ向って隆起する。
更に詳述すると、排泄部対向部Bにおける隆起部40の両側縁部を形成している前記部分5Bにおいて、その幅方向最外側に位置する部分が、幅方向内側に向う圧縮力をいち早く受け止め、該圧縮力を前記溝5の長手方向全体に亘って伝え、隆起部40の隆起を引き起こす。
ナプキン1における吸収体4の隆起部40が、肌側へ向って隆起することで、隆起部40Bの上に位置する表面シート2は、着用者の排泄部へ押し当てられ肌と密着する。更に、長手方向端部では溝が尖った形状で形成されているため、溝の内側は隆起が細くされるため、身体とのフィット性が向上し、溝の外では、隆起による影響を受け難く、吸収体がフラットとなり、液止め効果が高まる利点を有する。
Next, the state in which the napkin 1 of the present embodiment is worn will be described below.
The napkin 1 is fixed and worn on the inner side of the crotch such as shorts, and the portion of the topsheet 2 in the excretory part facing part B of the napkin 1 comes into contact with the excretion part of the wearer. At this time, as shown in FIG. 5, the napkin 1 receives a compressive force from the left and right in the width direction (in the direction of the arrow in FIG. 5) by the inner sides of the thighs of the wearer.
When the napkin 1 receives a compressive force from the left and right inward in the width direction, the napkin 1 is shown in FIG. Thus, the whole protruding part 40 protrudes toward the skin side with the surface sheet 2.
More specifically, in the portion 5B forming both side edges of the raised portion 40 in the excretory portion facing portion B, the portion located on the outermost side in the width direction quickly receives the compressive force toward the inner side in the width direction, The compressive force is transmitted over the entire longitudinal direction of the groove 5 to cause the raised portion 40 to be raised.
When the raised portion 40 of the absorbent body 4 in the napkin 1 is raised toward the skin side, the surface sheet 2 positioned on the raised portion 40B is pressed against the excretion portion of the wearer and is in close contact with the skin. Furthermore, since the groove is formed in a sharp shape at the end in the longitudinal direction, the ridge is narrowed inside the groove, so that the fit with the body is improved, and it is hardly affected by the bulge outside the groove. The absorber becomes flat and has the advantage of increasing the liquid stopping effect.

中央部隆起の程度は、ナプキン1を固定するショーツの身体への装着状態によってもことなるが、本発明品では、中央(排泄ポイント)の幅が広がった形状であるため、隆起が従来より高められ、身体とのフィット性が小さい下着の場合であっても、排泄ポイントにナプキンの吸収面を効果的にフィットさせることができる。   The degree of the central bulge varies depending on the state of the shorts that fix the napkin 1 attached to the body, but in the present invention product, the bulge is higher than before because the width of the central (excretion point) is widened. Even if it is a case of underwear with small fit with a body, the absorption surface of a napkin can be effectively fitted to an excretion point.

隆起部40が隆起した状態において、吸収体4の隆起部40における表面側及び裏面側は共に、図6に示すように、肌側へ向って凸に湾曲している。
また、隆起部40が肌方向へ向って隆起した際、隆起部40の上に位置する表面シート2も、図6に示すように、肌側に向って凸に湾曲し、2つの括れた部分40D、40Eそれぞれにおける折り線S1,S2跡のシワが伸ばされ実質的に消失する。
In the state where the raised portion 40 is raised, both the front side and the back side of the raised portion 40 of the absorber 4 are convexly curved toward the skin side as shown in FIG.
Moreover, when the protruding part 40 protrudes toward the skin direction, the surface sheet 2 positioned on the protruding part 40 is also curved convexly toward the skin side as shown in FIG. The wrinkles of the fold lines S1 and S2 in each of 40D and 40E are extended and substantially disappear.

本実施形態のナプキン1について、更に説明すると、図2に示すように、一対の溝5,5それぞれの幅方向外側に、幅方向内側に凸に湾曲している溝6が設けられている。一対の該溝6,6それぞれは、ヒートシール加工によるエンボスにより形成されており、該溝6により、表面シート2と吸収体4と、更に、後述する内部シート7とが接合されている。一対の該溝6,6それぞれは、その長さ(ナプキン1の長手方向に沿った長さ)が前記溝5と略同じであり、また、図4に示すように、ナプキン1の厚み方向に吸収体4の中程まで延びている。   The napkin 1 of the present embodiment will be further described. As shown in FIG. 2, a groove 6 that is convexly curved inward in the width direction is provided on the outer side in the width direction of each of the pair of grooves 5 and 5. Each of the pair of grooves 6 and 6 is formed by embossing by heat sealing, and the top sheet 2 and the absorbent body 4 and further an inner sheet 7 described later are joined by the grooves 6.
