The specific embodiment
Following according to preferred implementation of the present invention, the present invention will be described with reference to accompanying drawing.
Fig. 1 is the axonometric chart that expression absorbent commodity of the present invention is used an embodiment of face sheet.
Face sheet 10 shown in Figure 1 is used for the skin contact face of the absorbent commodities such as disposable diaper, sanitary napkin, underwear back boxing (sanitary pad), incontinence pad.
Face sheet 10 is made of mutual stacked the 1st non-woven fabrics 1 and the 2nd non-woven fabrics 2.The 1st non-woven fabrics 1 forms the face towards wearer skin side (skin contact face) of face sheet 10, and the 2nd non-woven fabrics 2 forms the face (non-skin contact face) towards the absorption side of face sheet 10.
Heat fusing is bonding partly for the 1st non-woven fabrics 1 and the 2nd non-woven fabrics 2, thus, has formed many heat fusing bonding parts 4 at face sheet 10.Part beyond the above-mentioned heat fusing bonding part 4 of the 1st non-woven fabrics 1 is side-prominent towards the skin of wearer, has formed many protuberances 5.
As shown in Figure 1, protuberance 5 and heat fusing bonding part 4 a direction parallel with the face of face sheet 10 be directions X alternately and become row to dispose, and be formed with multiple row in the Y-direction perpendicular to above-mentioned directions X.The configuration of on directions X, staggering respectively of the protuberance 5 of adjacent column and heat fusing bonding part 4, more particularly, the half pitch that staggers (pitch) configuration.
The directions X of the face sheet 10 of present embodiment is the direction identical with the differently-oriented directivity (fiber orientation directions) of the formation fiber of the 1st non-woven fabrics 1.Usually, the fiber of non-woven fabrics during fabrication fleece or the upper orientation of the moving direction (operating direction) of non-woven fabrics roughly.Fleece or the moving direction (operating direction) of non-woven fabrics of the fiber orientation directions of the 1st non-woven fabrics 1 grade during with its manufacturing is identical, but when the moving direction when making is not clear, with the direction of the more fibre orientation in bearing of trend that protuberance 5 and heat fusing bonding part 4 became to be listed as and the perpendicular direction as fiber orientation directions.
In the face sheet 10 of present embodiment, the differently-oriented directivity (fiber orientation directions) of the formation fiber of the 2nd non-woven fabrics 2 also is directions X, in addition, the 1st non-woven fabrics 1 and the 2nd non-woven fabrics 2 moving direction (with reference to Fig. 5) separately in the manufacturing process of the fiber orientation directions of the 1st non-woven fabrics (directions X) and face sheet 10 is also consistent.And, the fiber orientation directions of the 1st non-woven fabrics (directions X) is preferably when being assembled into face sheet 10 in the absorbent commodity, consistent, particularly preferably consistent with the length direction of absorbent commodity with any one direction in the length direction (fore-and-aft direction) of absorbent commodity and the perpendicular direction.
When the face sheet 10 of present embodiment was observed as a whole, the face general planar of its 2nd non-woven fabrics 2 sides had formed the concavo-convex of big rise and fall at the face of the 1st non-woven fabrics 1 side.
As shown in Figures 2 and 3, the inside of the protuberance 5 of face sheet 10 has been full of the formation fiber of the 1st non-woven fabrics 1.That is, between the 1st non-woven fabrics 1 of the part with protuberance 5 of face sheet 10 and the 2nd non-woven fabrics 2, form the cavity.Here said cavity refers between the 1st non-woven fabrics 1 and the 2nd non-woven fabrics 2 cavity that produces, the space that for example is not easy to confirm when the cross section of visualization face sheet 10 and and be present between fiber in the 1st non-woven fabrics 1 and the 2nd non-woven fabrics 2 space equal extent or the space of its several times size and be not included in here in the said cavity.
The face sheet 10 of present embodiment is owing to form the cavity between the 1st non-woven fabrics 1 of the part with protuberance 5 and the 2nd non-woven fabrics 2, so liquid is better to the mobility of the 2nd non-woven fabrics 2 from the 1st non-woven fabrics 1.
As shown in Figure 2, at least a portion protuberance 5 of face sheet 10 has the fibre density fiber sparse part 5b lower than the fibre density of the central part 5a of this fiber orientation directions (directions X) at an end XE or both ends XE, the XE of the fiber orientation directions (directions X) of the 1st non-woven fabrics 1.
Because protuberance 5 has the sparse part 5b of fiber, therefore in the sparse part 5b of the sparse fiber of fibre density and heat fusing bonding part 4 or near formation is larger between part it fibre density gradient, thus, be supplied to liquid on the face sheet 10, particularly flow in the recess between the protuberance 5 liquid by the path shown in Fig. 4 (a) swimmingly to the heat fusing bonding part 4 of the 1st non-woven fabrics 1 or near it part mobile.Then, flow to the liquid of heat fusing bonding part 4 or near its part swimmingly to the 2nd non-woven fabrics 2 and then mobile to configuration absorber (not shown) in its lower section.Particularly, fiber orientation directions (directions X) by making the 1st non-woven fabrics 1 is consistent with the length direction of absorbent commodity, the menses that flow along the product width direction promptly can be absorbed from the sparse part 5b of fiber, can prevent from the generation side leakage of product side.
In addition, the contour goo of the menses that viscosity is higher or soft stool also can enter into the sparse part 5b of the sparse fiber of fibre density, thereby promptly leaves the skin of wearer.
And because the fibre density of the central part 5a of the directions X of protuberance 5 is relatively high, so the top of protuberance 5 becomes smoother, become lower with the coefficient of friction of skin, so face sheet 10 has level and smooth sense of touch.
From reaching effectively the viewpoint of above-mentioned effect, one end XE of the fiber orientation directions of the 1st non-woven fabrics 1 (directions X) or the protuberance with the sparse part 5b of fiber 5 of both ends XE, XE are preferably more than 10% of protuberance 5 sums of face sheet 10, more preferably 20~50%, more preferably 30~50%.
Fig. 3 is the sectional view of the Y-direction of the protuberance identical with protuberance shown in Figure 25.
Contrast by Fig. 2 and Fig. 3 can be judged, in Fig. 2 and protuberance 5 shown in Figure 3, poor greater than perpendicular to the fibre density of the central part 5c of the direction (Y-direction) of this fiber orientation directions and both ends YE, YE of the difference of the central part 5a of the fiber orientation directions of the 1st non-woven fabrics 1 (directions X) and the fibre density of the sparse part 5b of fiber.
Thus, the liquid that is supplied on the face sheet 10 also enters in the face sheet 10 by the path shown in Fig. 4 (b), since near the top of protuberance 5 towards the heat fusing bonding part 4 of the 1st non-woven fabrics 1 or near it part have the fibre density gradient, so liquid swimmingly melt bonded 4 of thermotropism or near it part mobile.Then, flow to the liquid of heat fusing bonding part 4 or near its part swimmingly to the 2nd non-woven fabrics 2 and then mobile to configuration absorber (not shown) in its lower section.
Use the microscopic examination face sheet pass through to overlook the time the directions X of protuberance central point and the cross section of Y-direction, and observe directions X and Y-direction central part separately and the filling extent of the fiber of end, can judge an end XE or both ends XE at the protuberance 5 of the fiber orientation directions (directions X) of the 1st non-woven fabrics 1, whether have the sparse part 5b of fiber on the XE, and the difference of the fibre density of the central part 5a of the fiber orientation directions of the 1st non-woven fabrics 1 (directions X) and the sparse part 5b of fiber is whether greater than central part 5c and both ends YE perpendicular to the direction (Y-direction) of this fiber orientation directions, the difference of the fibre density of YE etc.Judge directions X and Y-direction separately central part and during the fiber filled degree of end, preferably with the classifying in three categories minute or 5 five equilibriums in directions X or Y-direction from short transverse upper end to about 2/3 part of protuberance, and judge by integrally observing its fiber filled degree central and two end portions.
In Fig. 2 and protuberance 5 shown in Figure 3, the fibre density of both ends YE, YE on the direction vertical with the fiber orientation directions of the 1st non-woven fabrics 1 (Y-direction) is more than or equal to the fibre density of the central part 5c of this direction.Therefore, utilize the liquid imbedibility in path shown in Fig. 4 (b) further to improve.
Refer to perpendicular to the fibre density of both ends YE, the YE of the direction (Y-direction) of the fiber orientation directions of the 1st non-woven fabrics 1 fibre density more than or equal to the central part 5a of this direction, the fibre density of these both ends YE, YE equates that with the fibre density of this central part 5a perhaps the fibre density of these both ends YE, YE is greater than the fibre density of this central part 5a.From the viewpoint of liquid entering, the fibre density of an above-mentioned end or both ends YE, YE is preferably greater than the fibre density of this central part 5c.

The hydrophilic long fibre that contains 30~100 % by weight in long stapled aggregation 3 preferred these aggregations 3 more preferably contains the hydrophilic long fibre of 50~100 % by weight.
In the protuberance part (part with protuberance 5) of face sheet 10A, preferably the order hydrophiling degree by the 1st non-woven fabrics 1, long fibre aggregation 3, the 2nd non-woven fabrics 2 increases successively.By giving the hydrophiling degree with gradient, the discharged liquid such as urine or menses are flow to the long stapled aggregation 3 from protuberance 5 surfaces swimmingly, and then it is flow in the 2nd non-woven fabrics 2 swimmingly.
In addition, in the protuberance part (part with protuberance 5) of face sheet 10A, preferably by the 1st non-woven fabrics 1, long stapled aggregation 3, the 2nd non-woven fabrics 2 orders fibre density is increased successively.By giving fibre density with gradient, the discharged liquid such as urine or menses are flow to the long stapled aggregation 3 from protuberance 5 surfaces swimmingly, and then it is flow in the 2nd non-woven fabrics 2 swimmingly.
Face sheet 10A according to the 4th embodiment, because the internal configurations at protuberance 5 has the curvilinear long fibre 31 that protrudes towards the projected direction of protuberance 5, therefore for the pressurization of thickness direction, protuberance 5 demonstrates good resiliency, along with the activity of skin in the absorbent commodity use, protuberance can repeated compression and answer.Therefore, be difficult for bringing stimulation to skin, soft with the thoughts and feelings of skin contact.
In addition, protuberance 5 and heat fusing bonding part 4 are because therefore in the above described manner configuration is compared with the in the past situation that the top of protuberance forms in one direction continuously, and liquid is difficult for flowing to the surface, is conducive to prevent that liquid from leaking, and is also good with the time point absorbability.In addition, because the flexibility of the face direction of face sheet is good, all can be flexibly crooked on directions X and Y-direction, therefore the fit with wearer improves, and in addition, can also use in the article that require flexibility or position etc.
In addition, because consisting of the long fibre of long fibre aggregation is configured on the direction (directions X), therefore capillary force is from improving towards two heat fusing bonding parts 4,4 respectively near the central part of protuberance 5, so, the liquid that sees through the 1st non-woven fabrics 1 is mobile swimmingly along the long stapled differently-oriented directivity of long fibre aggregation 3, flows to the 2nd non-woven fabrics 2 swimmingly.Therefore, the some absorbability is more good.
From embodying more effectively one of above-mentioned effect or plural viewpoint, face sheet 10A preferably has following structure.

The preferable production process of above-mentioned face sheet 10A is described referring to Figure 11 and Figure 12.
At first, as shown in figure 11, banded grey cloth 3A at the long stapled aggregation 31 in the banded grey cloth 1A interflow of the 1st non-woven fabrics 1 of sending here continuously, they are bitten into circumferential surface is that the 1st roll 11 and the circumferential surface of concaveconvex shape has in the bite with the 2nd roll 12 of the concaveconvex shape of the concaveconvex shape phase interlock of the 1st roll, gives concaveconvex shape to the grey cloth 1A of the 1st non-woven fabrics 1.
What Figure 12 represented the 1st roll 11 wants section's enlarged drawing.The 1st roll 11 is combined to form the roll shape with a plurality of horizontal gear 11a, 11b... with regulation facewidth and obtains.The size of the Y-direction of the protuberance 5 of the facewidth decision face sheet 10A of each gear.Adjacent gear makes up according to the mode of each half tooth distance that staggers.Its result, the circumferential surface of the 1st roll 11 becomes concaveconvex shape.
Be formed with in the teeth groove section of each gear of the 1st roll 11 and attract hole 13.This teeth groove section is equivalent to the recess in the concaveconvex shape of circumferential surface of the 1st roll 11.Attract hole 13 to be communicated in the attraction sources (not shown) such as aerator or vacuum pump, according to from the bite of the 1st roll and the 2nd roll to and the interflow section of the 2nd non-woven fabrics 2 between the mode that attracts control.Therefore, the 1st non-woven fabrics 1 of having been given concaveconvex shape by the interlock of the 1st roll 11 and the 2nd roll 12 because of the captivation driving fit that attracts hole 13 on the circumferential surface of the 1st roll, and keep it to give the state of concaveconvex shape.At this moment, as shown in figure 12, after the space G of regulation is set between adjacent gear, can not be subject in the situation of the shear effect impact that the concave-convex clutch of undue extending force or roll produces the 1st non-woven fabrics 1 being sealed on the circumferential surface of the 1st roll 11 at the 1st non-woven fabrics 1.
Then, as shown in figure 11, continue attracting holding under the state on the 1st roll 11 circumferential surfaces at the grey cloth 1A with the 1st non-woven fabrics 1, the banded grey cloth 2A of overlapping the 2nd non-woven fabrics 2, the part that it is overlapping is clipped between the 1st roll 11 and the anvil roller 15.At this moment, with the 1st roll 11 and anvil roller 15 both or only anvil roller 15 is heated to set point of temperature in advance.Thus, by on the bonding protuberance that will be positioned at the 1st roll 11 of heat fusing, be that grey cloth 1A, the banded grey cloth 3A of long stapled aggregation 3 of the 1st non-woven fabrics 1 on the tooth of each gear and the grey cloth 2A of the 2nd non-woven fabrics 2 engage.
As the banded grey cloth 3A of long stapled aggregation, use will curling long fibre as the formation fiber, and the grey cloth that is orientated in the longitudinal direction of this long fibre.And, in the time of in the bite that grey cloth 3A is incorporated into the 1st roll 11 and the 2nd roll 12, in advance this grey cloth 3A is significantly extended on its length direction, and in the situation that keeps this state, between the 1st roll 11 and anvil roller 15, utilize the bonding joint that carries out the 1st non-woven fabrics 1 and the 2nd non-woven fabrics 2 of heat fusing.After the grey cloth 3A of the long stapled aggregation 3 of introducing with elongation state between the 1st non-woven fabrics 1 and the 2nd non-woven fabrics 2 is passing through between the 1st roll 11 and the anvil roller 15, elongation state is relaxed, thus, the long fibre that consists of this grey cloth 3a shrinks, and the long stapled loft that is present in the protuberance 5 increases.Thus, as shown in figure 10, can obtain the protuberance 5 interior face sheet 10A that are full of by long stapled aggregation 3.
The percentage elongation of long fibre 31 between the 1st non-woven fabrics 1 and the 2nd non-woven fabrics 2 during the fixed length fiber or the grey cloth 3A of its aggregation is preferably 105~130%, is particularly preferably 110~120%.
Here, the percentage elongation of the grey cloth 3A of long fibre or its aggregation is tried to achieve by following formula.
