Definitions

• This invention relates generally to absorbent devices having a web surface and more particularly to an absorbent device and method for improving the dryness and tactile attributes of the web surface.
• the invention will be specifically disclosed in connection with a rotary screen printing method for applying a plurality of hydrophobic projections to the web surface to improve the dryness and tactile attributes.
• Typical web materials used in the manufacture of absorbent devices include non-woven and tissue substrates.
• Non-woven and tissue substrates are problematic for web surfaces because once the web surface, also commonly referred to as a topsheet, has been soiled by bodily fluids such as urine or menstrual fluid, the web surface remains wet and prolonged exposure to the fluid absorbed by the web is experienced by the user.
• the Sanford patent discloses a preferred disposable diaper structure comprising a substantially planar, moisture absorbent layer disposed between a soft topsheet and a moisture-resistant backing sheet.
• the non-woven fibrous topsheet preferably comprises an integral structure containing a multiplicity of depressed areas which intimately contact the upper most surface of a substantially planar, moisture absorbent layer. The non-depressed areas of the topsheet contact the wearer's skin in-use.
• the non-woven fibrous topsheet of the diaper disclosed in Sanford is comprised of a substantially hydrophobic material exhibiting wet resilience such that the topsheet tends to resume its substantially three- dimensional character upon removal of pressure applied against the topsheet by the body movements ofthe wearer.
• the non-depressed areas ofthe topsheet which are substantially the same density as the depressed areas, tend to isolate the wearer's skin from moisture contained within the moisture absorbent layer, thereby providing surface dryness and resistance to rewetting when the structure is temporarily subjected to pressure resulting from the wearer's bodily movements.
• Patent No. 3,929,135 issued to Thompson on December 30, 1975, and hereby incorporated by reference.
• Thompson suggests a topsheet comprised of liquid- impermeable material and is provided with tapered capillaries, the capillaries have a base opening in the plane ofthe topsheet and an apex opening remote from the plane of the topsheet.
• the topsheet disclosed in the Thompson patent allows the free transfer of fluids from the body into the absorbent element of the device while inhibiting the reverse flow of these fluids, resulting in a relatively much dryer surface in contact with the user than had been previously obtainable.
• tissue or non-woven substrates consist of natural fibers such as wood pulp or synthetic fibers
• the tactile impression of these substrates needs to be extremely soft when applied to the delicate tissues ofthe genital area.
• plastic film topsheets has proven to be quite good, the psychological problems of a plastic material creates in some users the impression that the softness ofthe plastic film is not satisfactory.
• Fluid hangup is a phenomenon where the bodily fluid sits on the surface ofthe topsheet and does not pass through the topsheet and into the absorbent component located below the topsheet.
• the bodily fluid is menstrual fluid
• components of the menstrual fluid such as blood clots and body tissue is of a consistency which prevents those components from passing through the topsheet and into the absorbent component. Also fluid contained within the storage component can be seen through the topsheet.
• the present invention provides an absorbent device and a method of improving the surface dryness and tactile attributes of the absorbent device.
• the present invention substantially reduces the surface wetness problems associated with prior absorbent devices having tissue or a non-woven material topsheet and provides these substrates with a surface dryness equal to that of a formed film topsheet.
• the invention also addresses the psychological problems associated with formed film topsheets by improving the tactile impression of the formed film topsheet.
• the invention also provides improvement in the masking characteristics of an absorbent device having web types of tissue, non- woven or formed film materials.
• the improved absorbent device of the present invention is provided by a method of joining small regular or random patterned hydrophobic projections on the surface of the web without changing any of the fluid handling channels of the web material.
• the plurality of projections are adapted to contact the user and to separate the user from the body facing surface of the topsheet.
• the hydrophobic projections further define a plurality of fluid containment areas between the projections for collecting and temporarily containing bodily fluid emanating from the user.
• the hydrophobic projections separate the fluid from the user to improve the dryness attributes, and improve the tactile impression of the absorbent device by imparting comfort properties to the user.
• the material that can be joined to the web surface can be any hydrophobic material that can be printed or sprayed. These include, but are not limited to, thermal plastics and hot melt resins.
• the material can be joined by any printing or spraying method, wherein rotary screen printing is preferred.

• the apparatus and processes disclosed in the Thomas, et al. patents can be utilized as an alternative to the preferred rotary screen printing process.
• the rotary screen printing process comprises the steps of pumping molten hydrophobic fluid into a cylindrical-shaped screen which is supported above a back ⁇ up roll.
• the back-up roll supports the web which is passed between the rotary screen and the back-up roll.
• the cylindrical screen includes a doctor blade which receives the hydrophobic material and fills the holes within the cylindrical screen.
• the holes in the screen are small enough and the hydrophobic material is of sufficient viscosity that the hydrophobic material will not flow through the holes in the screen on its own.
• the doctor blade forces the hydrophobic material to fill up the screen holes such that a meniscus of material hangs down from the screen toward the back-up roll.
• the screen and back-up roll rotate, the screen contacts the web substrate at the point ofthe back-up roll and transfers the hydrophobic material out ofthe screen hole and onto the web substrate.
• the holes in the cylindrical screen can be varied to produce patterns of printed hydrophobic material in the shape of dots, circles, lines, dimples, hairs, filaments, or any combination of patterns.
• the printed pattern typically is raised .05 to 3 millimeters above the web surface.
• the height ofthe printed material provides a void area for quickly collecting fluid, but it is dry to the touch because the top surface of the hydrophobic printed material retains no fluid.
• the printed pattern of hydrophobic material improves the tactile impression by creating a surface which is soft to the touch.
• Dyes or fillers can be added to the hydrophobic material to improve the fluid masking attributes of the web surface by disguising the soiling pattern of the absorbent device created by bodily fluids.

• Topsheet 12 has been cutaway to more clearly show the storage component 16 of the sanitary napkin 10.
• Topsheet 12 can be made from a web material such as tissue, non-woven or formed film materials.
• Tissue and non-woven topsheets can contain all natural fibers, such as wood pulp, or synthetic fibers, or any combination of natural and synthetic fibers.
• the exact formulation of fibers is not critical to the present invention and can be generally any combination which provides a fluid- pervious topsheet which are well known in the absorbent device art.
• a formed film topsheet is exemplified by that disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 4,342,314 issued to Radel, et al. on August 3, 1982, said patent being hereby incorporated by reference.
• Storage component 16 similarly can comprise natural, synthetic or any combination of natural and synthetic fibers well known in the art.
• Backsheet 14 can be any of a number of plastic materials, also well known in the art which generates the properties of being fluid-impervious to prevent the absorbed bodily fluid from migrating out ofthe absorbent device.
• a plurality of hydrophobic projections 18 are positioned on web 20.
• web 20 can consist of tissue, non- woven qr formed film material.
• Hydrophobic projection 18 can be any material that can be printed or sprayed, and include, but are not limited to, thermal plastics and hot melts resins.
• Preferred resins for application on formed films are resins produced by the H.B. Fuller Company of Vadnais Heights, Minnesota, specifically Resin Numbers HL1412-X and HL1424-X.
• Preferred resins for applying to non-woven or tissue webs are resins produced by either Century International Adhesives and Coatings, Inc.
• the surface tension of the resin to be applied must be lower than the surface tension ofthe formed film web.
• the melting point ofthe formed film should be at least 10° C higher than the melting point ofthe resin which is joined to the film to ensure that the film is not melted when the hydrophobic material is applied.
• the hydrophobic projections 18 are arranged to create land areas 22 on the web, between individual projections, for collection and absorbing of bodily fluid. Because the hydrophobic projections do not absorb fluid, they funnel fluid towards the land area increasing the fluid acquisition rate of web 20. Bodily fluid can have a tendency to sit on the surface of a web or roll off the sides ofthe web before it can be absorbed, and the hydrophobic projections deter fluid from moving laterally on the surface of the web 20 by forming barriers and thereby allowing the fluid to be absorbed by web 20. For tissue and non-woven webs consisting of natural or synthetic fibers, the closeness of the fibers in the web dictates how the web will absorb and move bodily fluids into the storage component. Consequently, the hydrophobic projections 18 are positioned only on the surface of web 20 such that the projections do not penetrate into the web and affect fluid wicking channels between individual fibers in the web.
• projections 18 are raised .05 to 3 millimeters above the surface 24 of web 20.
• valleys or void areas 26 are created between individual projections for collecting bodily fluid to be absorbed.
• the dry attributes of web 20 are improved because bodily fluid is maintained in valley 26 temporarily before being absorbed, and away from the skin of the user. Consequently, projections 18 separate the fluid from the user and keep the user dry and clean.
• hydrophobic projections 18 on the surface of tissue and non- woven webs the individual web fibers at their tips which are in contact with the user, becomes hydrophobic thereby directing the bodily fluid through the web and into the storage component without remaining on the web. surface.
• hydrophobic projections 18 can be used in conjunction with hydrophilic webs such as tissue or non ⁇ woven material. Also projections with varying degrees of hydrophobicity can be used in conjunction with webs exhibiting varying degrees of hydrophobic or hydrophilic characteristics. Preferably the density of the projections on the web surface range from about 1,600 to about 10,000 projections per square inch. As shown in Figs. 2, 3 and 6, hydrophobic projections 18 can be applied as dots. It is to be understood, however, that hydrophobic projections 18 can be applied as dots, circles, lines, dimples, hairs, filaments or any combination of pattems.
• the patte s can be distributed uniformly over the web surface 24, or randomly.
• hydrophobic projections When hydrophobic projections are applied as dimples, they can be in any shape, such as oval, round, diamond, pyramidal, or square shaped. In any shape or pattem, the hydrophobic projections provide a void area for quickly collecting fluid, but remain dry to the touch because the top surface ofthe projections retain no fluid.
• hydrophobic projection 18 applied as dots increase the tactile impression of the web 20
• the preferred form of hydrophobic projections 18 for the greatest tactile impression is achieved when hydrophobic projections 18 are formed as hairs 28 as shown in Figs. 4 and 7.
• Hairs 28 as shown in Fig. 7 extend perpendicularly, as well as non-perpendicularly away from web surface 24.
• the advantage achieved with hairs is that a larger number of projections can be applied to the surface 24 of web 20 thereby generating a softer feel.
• Hair projections, unless applied in a very thick caliper can collapse when placed in contact with the user. Collapsed projections may interfere with fluid abso ⁇ tion and the dryness attributes at the web 20
• the hydrophobic projections preferably are applied as filaments 30 as shown in Figs. 5 and 8.
• Filaments 30 are essentially shorter, thicker hairs which remain pe ⁇ endicular to web surface 24. Filaments 30 are more resistant to being compressed by the user because they are thicker and shorter than hair projections 28.
• Masking capabilities of web 20 can be enhanced by the addition of a dye or filler to the hydrophobic projections 18.
• Suitable masking agents could be titanium dioxide (Ti ⁇ 2) or calcium carbonate (CaCO3).
• Ti ⁇ 2 titanium dioxide
• CaCO3 calcium carbonate
• the hydrophobic projections themselves, as well as the fillers aid in the masking of bodily fluids absorbed by the web and retained in the storage component.
• the masking agent creates a cleao appearance because the user cannot see through the web.
• the preferred method for applying the hydrophobic projections to the web surface is by a rotary screen printing method.
• the preferred method for applying the hydrophobic projection is hereinafter discussed with respect to the rotary screen printing method, it is to be understood that other methods of printing or spraying hydrophobic projections are contemplated by the invention. Such methods include spiral spraying, mist spraying or line spraying, gravure printing, and flexographic printing.
• Rotary screen printing is the most preferred because the method can be performed at high web line speeds.
• Rotary screen printing is accomplished by passing web 20 from a stock roll 32 of web material between a rotary screen cylinder 34 and a back-up roll 36. Web 20 is unwound from stock roll 32 by drive cylinder 38.
• Rotary screen cylinder 34 is loaded with hydrophobic material such as molten resin through slot extruder 40 attached to screen cylinder 34.
• Doctor blade 42 forces the hydrophobic material from slot extruder 40 into holes in rotary screen 34.
• Rotary screen 34 has a thickness of approximately 4 to 7 millimeters. The doctor blade fills the small screen holes with the hydrophobic material, which is of sufficient viscosity that it will not flow right through the screen holes, and forces enough hydrophobic material into the screen such that a meniscus of fluid extends downwardly from the screen holes as the screen rotates.
• the web line speed is equal to the speed at which the rotary screen rotates.
• the web line speed is increased one-half to one percent above the rotational speed of the rotary screen. Since the web is moving faster than the rotary screen, the web will pull the hydrophobic material out of the screen such that the hair pattem is formed.
• cold air is pumped from nozzle 44 directly onto the web immediately after the hydrophobic material is transferred from the rotary screen cylinder onto the web. The cold air freezes the hydrophobic material in the filament pattem, thereby preventing the hydrophobic material from forming the hair pattem.
• back-up roll 36 can be chilled to freeze the hydrophobic material into the filame ⁇ j pattem instead of pumping cold air through a nozzle.
