Description

本発明は、液を含浸するシート基材にエンボス柄模様が現出するウェットティッシュに関する。   The present invention relates to a wet tissue in which an embossed pattern appears on a sheet substrate impregnated with a liquid.

紙ナプキンやティッシュ等の分野において、パルプなどの吸液性繊維からなる不織布の表面に、エンボス加工により凹凸を形成することは、例えば特許文献1や特許文献2などに公知である。   In the field of paper napkins, tissues, and the like, it is known, for example, in Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2 to form irregularities on the surface of a nonwoven fabric made of liquid-absorbing fibers such as pulp by embossing.

特表2003−500571号公報(図1)Japanese translation of PCT publication No. 2003-500571 (FIG. 1) 特開2000−62052号公報(図1)Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2000-62052 (FIG. 1)

本発明者は、凹凸模様を入れた不織布に、薬剤溶液などを含浸させて、ウェットティッシュをつくることを試みた。しかし、不織布に液を含浸させると、不織布を構成するパルプ繊維が液を吸収して膨張復元する。その結果、凹凸形態が失われて、柄模様が消えてしまうことがわかった。   The inventor tried to make a wet tissue by impregnating a non-woven fabric with an uneven pattern with a drug solution or the like. However, when the nonwoven fabric is impregnated with the liquid, the pulp fibers constituting the nonwoven fabric absorb the liquid and expand and restore. As a result, it was found that the concavo-convex form was lost and the design pattern disappeared.

そこで本発明の目的は、不織布製のシート基材に液を含浸させても、シート基材にエンボス加工した凹凸模様が長期にわたって安定的に維持できるウェットティッシュを提供することにある。本発明の目的は、シート基材の外表面に、独立した多数の島柄模様をくっきりと現出させることにより、ウェットティッシュの商品イメージの向上と、購買者に対する訴求効果の向上とを期すにある。   Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a wet tissue that can stably maintain a concavo-convex pattern embossed on a sheet base material for a long period of time even when a non-woven sheet base material is impregnated with a liquid. The object of the present invention is to improve the product image of wet tissue and improve the appeal effect to buyers by clearly displaying many independent island patterns on the outer surface of the sheet base material. is there.

本発明は、図1および図2に示すごとく、液を含浸するシート基材1に、柄模様を現出させるためのエンボス加工が施されたウェットティッシュを対象とする。そのシート基材1は、吸液性繊維に疎水性繊維を絡ませて、全体にわたって実質的に均一な坪量に形成された不織布からなる。   As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the present invention is directed to a wet tissue in which a sheet base material 1 impregnated with a liquid is embossed to make a pattern appear. The sheet substrate 1 is made of a nonwoven fabric having hydrophobic fibers entangled with liquid-absorbing fibers and having a substantially uniform basis weight throughout.

このシート基材1をエンボス加工することにより、図2に示すごとく、シート基材1の上面に、一連につながる凹部2と、この凹部2で外周囲が囲撓された多数の凸部3とを形成する。そして、図3に示すごとく、凹部2の実質的に平坦な内底面5に臨む繊維層部分Aが、各凸部3の実質的に平坦な頂上面6に臨む繊維層部分Bよりも高密度に圧縮されており、凹部2の繊維部分Aにおける容積当たりの吸液率が、各凸部3の繊維層部分Bにおける容積当たりの吸液率よりも大きくなるように設定されていることを特徴とする。凹部2の繊維層部分Aを高密度に圧縮した状態に維持する手段としては、バインダーなどによってもよい。   By embossing the sheet base material 1, as shown in FIG. 2, a series of concave portions 2 connected to the upper surface of the sheet base material 1, and a large number of convex portions 3 whose outer periphery is surrounded by the concave portions 2. Form. As shown in FIG. 3, the fiber layer portion A facing the substantially flat inner bottom surface 5 of the concave portion 2 has a higher density than the fiber layer portion B facing the substantially flat top surface 6 of each convex portion 3. And the liquid absorption rate per volume in the fiber portion A of the concave portion 2 is set to be larger than the liquid absorption rate per volume in the fiber layer portion B of each convex portion 3. And As a means for maintaining the fiber layer portion A of the concave portion 2 in a highly compressed state, a binder or the like may be used.

具体的には、シート基材1の平坦な下面1aと、前記凹部2の実質的に平坦な内底面5との間の繊維層部分Aが、シート基材1の平坦な下面1aと、各凸部3の実質的に平坦な頂上面6との間の繊維層部分Bよりも高密度に圧縮された状態に維持されている。   Specifically, the fiber layer portion A between the flat lower surface 1a of the sheet base material 1 and the substantially flat inner bottom surface 5 of the concave portion 2 includes the flat lower surface 1a of the sheet base material 1, It is maintained in a compressed state at a higher density than the fiber layer portion B between the substantially flat top surface 6 of the convex portion 3.

すなわち、シート基材1は、凹部2の内底面5に臨む繊維層部分Aが圧縮されて繊維密度が高い状態に維持されており、これとの比較において各凸部3を構成する繊維層部分Bが実質的に圧縮されないで繊維密度が低くなっている。このように、凹部2の繊維層部分Aの密度が高く設定されていると、吸液性に優れたものとなるが、そこでの見掛け密度は0.7を越えると急激に吸液性を失うので0.4〜0.6にすることが望まれる。   That is, in the sheet base material 1, the fiber layer portion A facing the inner bottom surface 5 of the concave portion 2 is compressed and maintained in a high fiber density state. B is not substantially compressed and the fiber density is low. As described above, when the density of the fiber layer portion A of the concave portion 2 is set high, the liquid absorbency is excellent. However, when the apparent density exceeds 0.7, the liquid absorbency is rapidly lost. Therefore, it is desired to be 0.4 to 0.6.

シート基材1の全厚すなわち各凸部3の繊維層部分Bの厚さT1は、1.0〜3.0mmに、凹部2の繊維層部分Aの厚さT2は、前記厚さT1の2/5〜4/5にそれぞれ設定し、シート基材1の坪量は、60〜300g/m2 に設定し、凹部2の繊維層部分Aにおける容積当たりの吸液率は、各凸部3の繊維層部分Bにおける容積当たりの吸液量の1.1〜2.0倍に設定することができる。 The total thickness of the sheet substrate 1, that is, the thickness T1 of the fiber layer portion B of each convex portion 3 is 1.0 to 3.0 mm, and the thickness T2 of the fiber layer portion A of the concave portion 2 is the thickness T1. The basis weight of the sheet substrate 1 is set to 60 to 300 g / m 2, and the liquid absorption rate per volume in the fiber layer portion A of the concave portion 2 is set to each convex portion. It can be set to 1.1 to 2.0 times the liquid absorption amount per volume in the three fiber layer portions B.

各凸部3の外周囲が凹部2で囲撓されているとは、各凸部3が独立した島模様になっていることを意味する。したがって、凹部2の内底面5はシート基材1の外周縁部分を除き一連につながっていることになる。この凸部3の島柄模様としては、図1に示すような形態に限られず、花柄模様やキャラクター模様などであってもよい。   That the outer periphery of each convex part 3 is surrounded by the concave part 2 means that each convex part 3 has an independent island pattern. Accordingly, the inner bottom surface 5 of the recess 2 is connected in series except for the outer peripheral edge portion of the sheet base material 1. The island pattern of the convex portion 3 is not limited to the form shown in FIG. 1, but may be a floral pattern or a character pattern.

吸液性繊維としては、安価に量産できるパルプ繊維が用いて好適であるが、コットンやレーヨンなどのセルロース繊維もパルプ繊維と共に併用できる。パルプ繊維は、シート基材1中に45〜85重量%混合し、他は疎水性繊維とすることができる。ここでのパルプ繊維とは、原料木材を砕いた砕木パルプや、これを化学薬品で処理して木材中のセルロース分を抽出した化学パルプなどからなる繊維を意味する。   As the liquid-absorbent fiber, pulp fiber that can be mass-produced at low cost is suitable, and cellulose fibers such as cotton and rayon can be used together with the pulp fiber. Pulp fibers can be mixed in the sheet base 1 by 45 to 85% by weight, and the others can be made into hydrophobic fibers. The pulp fiber here means a fiber made of crushed wood pulp obtained by pulverizing raw wood, chemical pulp obtained by treating this with a chemical and extracting the cellulose content in the wood, and the like.

疎水性繊維は、これが熱融着性を有するとき、加熱下でエンボス加工すると、前記凹部2に臨む繊維層部分Aを熱融着作用で圧縮状態に維持する。かかる疎水性繊維としては、ポリエステルやポリプロピレンなどの繊維を挙げることができる。疎水性繊維は、極細であれば表面積が大になって液付着性を図れるので、シート基材1これ全体の吸液性を阻害することにはならない。   When the hydrophobic fiber is heat-fusible and embossed under heat, the fiber layer portion A facing the recess 2 is maintained in a compressed state by the heat-sealing action. Examples of such hydrophobic fibers include fibers such as polyester and polypropylene. If the hydrophobic fiber is very fine, the surface area becomes large and the liquid adhesion can be achieved. Therefore, the liquid absorption property of the entire sheet substrate 1 is not hindered.

疎水性繊維には、芯鞘繊維を用いることができる。その場合、芯部分がポリエチレンテレフタレートであって鞘部分がポリエチレンである第1の芯鞘繊維と、芯部分がポリプロピレンであって鞘部分がポリエチレンである第2の芯鞘繊維とを単独で、又は併用して用いることができる。   A core-sheath fiber can be used for the hydrophobic fiber. In that case, a first core-sheath fiber in which the core part is polyethylene terephthalate and the sheath part is polyethylene, and a second core-sheath fiber in which the core part is polypropylene and the sheath part is polyethylene alone, or It can be used in combination.

芯鞘繊維において、鞘部分がポリエチレンであれば、低温下での先の熱融着性に有利である。その際に、芯部分がポリエチレンテレフタレートであると、剛性が得られシート基材1に液が含浸する空間をつくるに有利となる。芯部分がポリプロピレンであると、柔軟性が得られる。   In the core-sheath fiber, if the sheath part is polyethylene, it is advantageous for the heat-sealing property at a low temperature. At that time, if the core portion is made of polyethylene terephthalate, rigidity is obtained, which is advantageous for creating a space in which the sheet substrate 1 is impregnated with the liquid. A softness | flexibility is acquired as a core part is a polypropylene.

また、請求項2記載の本発明は、請求項1記載のウェットティッシュにおいて、図4に示すごとくシート基材1の上側表面に、コットンに熱融着性繊維を含ませた薄厚の表面繊維層7が一体に積層形成されており、シート基材1が表面繊維層7と共にエンボス加工されている。ここでのコットン表面繊維層7を構成する熱融着性繊維としては、先の疎水性繊維とくに芯鞘繊維が用いて好適である。   Further, the present invention as defined in claim 2 is a wet tissue according to claim 1, wherein the upper surface of the sheet substrate 1 is a thin surface fiber layer in which a heat-fusible fiber is contained in cotton, as shown in FIG. 7 is integrally laminated, and the sheet substrate 1 is embossed together with the surface fiber layer 7. As the heat-fusible fiber constituting the cotton surface fiber layer 7 here, the above-mentioned hydrophobic fiber, particularly the core-sheath fiber, is preferably used.

シート基材1に表面繊維層7を張り合わせる方法としては、機械結合、ニードルパンチ、水流交絡法、エアーレイ交絡法などの公知のウェブの結合方法を挙げることができる。接着剤により両者を張り合わせてもよい。   Examples of the method for bonding the surface fiber layer 7 to the sheet substrate 1 include known web bonding methods such as mechanical bonding, needle punching, hydroentanglement method, and air ray entanglement method. Both may be bonded together with an adhesive.

シート基材1に含ませるべき液は、水これ単独でもよいが、水にエタノールなどの各種薬剤を含む水溶液が相当する。液が着色されていると更に好ましい。   The liquid to be contained in the sheet substrate 1 may be water alone, but corresponds to an aqueous solution containing various chemicals such as ethanol in water. More preferably, the liquid is colored.

請求項1および請求項2記載の本発明に係るウェットティッシュによれば、シート基材1に液を含浸させたとき、パルプ繊維などの吸液性繊維は液を含んで膨潤するが、疎水性繊維は膨潤しない。そのうえで、凹部2の繊維層部分Aは、エンボス加工時に各凸部3の繊維層部分Bよりも高密度に圧縮された状態に維持されている。しかも、各凸部3は外周囲が凹部2で取り囲まれた状態にある。したがって、シート基材1に液を含浸させても、凹部2のとくに内底面部分では、疎水性繊維を介在させたことにより膨潤して復元せず、全体として凹凸形態が良好に維持される。   According to the wet tissue of the first and second aspects of the present invention, when the sheet base material 1 is impregnated with the liquid, the absorbent fibers such as pulp fibers swell with the liquid, but are hydrophobic. The fiber does not swell. In addition, the fiber layer portion A of the concave portion 2 is maintained in a state compressed at a higher density than the fiber layer portion B of each convex portion 3 during embossing. Moreover, each convex portion 3 is in a state where the outer periphery is surrounded by the concave portion 2. Therefore, even if the sheet base material 1 is impregnated with the liquid, the concave and convex portions, particularly the inner bottom surface portion, are not swelled and restored by interposing the hydrophobic fibers, and the overall uneven shape is maintained well.

その際、凹部2に臨む高密度の繊維層部分Aは、各凸部3を構成する繊維層部分Bよりも、容積当たりの吸液率(吸液量)が大きい。すなわち、各凸部3の繊維層部分Bは、もともと繊維密度が粗く、疎水性繊維が空気の侵入空間を確保した状態にあり、該当部分Bに液が侵入するとき空気を大量に抱き込み、各凸部3は白っぽく光って見える。逆に、凹部2の繊維層部分Aは、吸液性繊維どうしの密着性が高くなっているので、吸液性繊維に液がよく浸透して行き、空気の抱き込み量が少なく、その分だけ単位容積当たりの吸液量が大になる。疎水性繊維は、かかるメカニズムを積極的に果たすように作用する。現実の使用に際しては、各凸部3が凹部2よりも多くの水分を蒸発しやすいので、この点でも各各凸部3が時間の経過とともに更に白っぽくなって行く。その結果、白っぽく見える凸部3に対して、凹部2が白灰色寄りに見えることになり凹部2を下地として各凸部3が独立した白っぽい島模様になってくっきりと現出する。   At that time, the high-density fiber layer portion A facing the concave portion 2 has a larger liquid absorption rate (liquid absorption amount) per volume than the fiber layer portion B constituting each convex portion 3. That is, the fiber layer portion B of each convex portion 3 is originally in a state where the fiber density is coarse and the hydrophobic fibers ensure an air intrusion space, and when the liquid enters the portion B, a large amount of air is embraced, Each convex part 3 appears to shine whitish. On the contrary, the fiber layer portion A of the concave portion 2 has high adhesion between the liquid absorbent fibers, so that the liquid penetrates the liquid absorbent fibers well, and the amount of air entrainment is small. Only the amount of liquid absorption per unit volume becomes large. Hydrophobic fibers act to actively fulfill such a mechanism. In actual use, each convex portion 3 tends to evaporate more water than the concave portion 2, so that each convex portion 3 also becomes whitish with time. As a result, with respect to the convex portion 3 that looks whitish, the concave portion 2 appears closer to white gray, and each convex portion 3 becomes an independent whitish island pattern with the concave portion 2 as a base, and appears clearly.

請求項3記載の本発明に係るウェットティッシュによれば、シート基材1の表面繊維層7が、吸液性および拭き取り性に優れるコットンからなるので、高級感を出せて使い勝手が良い。コットンを含む表面繊維層7は、薄くしてあるので製造コストを安価に抑えることができる。この表面繊維層7は、前記凹部2の外表面となる部分が熱融着性繊維による熱融着作用で圧縮状態に維持されているので、シート基材1に表面繊維層7を有していても、請求項1、2のウェットティッシュと同様の作用効果を期すことができる。   According to the wet tissue of the third aspect of the present invention, the surface fiber layer 7 of the sheet substrate 1 is made of cotton having excellent liquid absorbency and wiping property, so that a high-class feeling can be given and the usability is good. Since the surface fiber layer 7 containing cotton is thinned, the manufacturing cost can be kept low. The surface fiber layer 7 has the surface fiber layer 7 on the sheet base material 1 because the portion which becomes the outer surface of the concave portion 2 is maintained in a compressed state by the heat fusion action by the heat-fusible fiber. However, the same effect as the wet tissue of Claims 1 and 2 can be expected.

(実施例1) 図1ないし図3は本発明に係るウェットティッシュの実施例1を示す。シート基材1には、吸液性繊維としてパルプ繊維85重量%と、熱融着性を有する疎水性繊維として1.5〜5.0デニールの極細ポリエチレン繊維15重量%とを交絡させた不織布を用いた。この不織布製のシート基材1は、全体にわたって均一な坪量(目付)になるように形成されている。 Example 1 FIGS. 1 to 3 show Example 1 of a wet tissue according to the present invention. The sheet base material 1 is a non-woven fabric in which 85% by weight of pulp fibers as liquid-absorbent fibers and 15% by weight of ultrafine polyethylene fibers of 1.5 to 5.0 deniers as hydrophobic fibers having heat-fusibility are entangled. Was used. The nonwoven fabric sheet base material 1 is formed so as to have a uniform basis weight (weight per unit area).

このシート基材1を加熱加圧下でエンボス加工し、シート基材1の下面1aは平坦面に形成して、シート基材1の上面側には、図2に示すごとく、一連につながる逆台形状の凹部2と、この凹部2で外周囲が囲撓された多数の台形状の凸部3とを形成した。各凸部3は、少なくとも曲線部分を有する独立した形状になっている。   The sheet base material 1 is embossed under heat and pressure, the lower surface 1a of the sheet base material 1 is formed into a flat surface, and on the upper surface side of the sheet base material 1, as shown in FIG. A concave portion 2 having a shape and a number of trapezoidal convex portions 3 whose outer periphery was bent and bent by the concave portion 2 were formed. Each convex portion 3 has an independent shape having at least a curved portion.

前記凹部2の内底面5と、各凸部3の頂上面6とは、それぞれ実質的に平坦面に形成した。これにより、図3に示すごとくシート基材1の平坦下面1aと、凹部2の内底面5との間の繊維層部分Aは、シート基材1の平坦下面1aと、各凸部3の頂上面6との間の繊維層部分Bよりも高密度に圧縮された状態にある。そのうえで凹部2の繊維層部分Aでは、前記疎水性繊維の熱融着作用で圧縮状態に維持されている。   The inner bottom surface 5 of the concave portion 2 and the top surface 6 of each convex portion 3 were formed to be substantially flat surfaces. Thereby, as shown in FIG. 3, the fiber layer portion A between the flat lower surface 1 a of the sheet substrate 1 and the inner bottom surface 5 of the recess 2 is formed on the flat lower surface 1 a of the sheet substrate 1 and the top of each convex portion 3. It is in the state compressed more densely than the fiber layer part B between the surfaces 6. In addition, in the fiber layer portion A of the recess 2, the compressed state is maintained by the heat fusion action of the hydrophobic fibers.

(サンプル1) 具体的には、シート基材1の坪量を120g/m2 、シート基材1の全厚すなわち凸部3の繊維層部分Bの厚さT1を1.4mm、凹部3の繊維層部分Aの厚さT2を0.91mmとした。 (Sample 1) Specifically, the basis weight of the sheet base material 1 is 120 g / m 2 , the total thickness of the sheet base material 1, that is, the thickness T1 of the fiber layer portion B of the convex portion 3 is 1.4 mm, and the concave portion 3 The thickness T2 of the fiber layer portion A was 0.91 mm.

このサンプル1での試作実験によれば、実施例1のシート基材1では、凹部2の繊維層部分Aでの容積当たりの吸液率(量)が凸部3での繊維層部分Bのそれよりも大きいことが判る。   According to the prototype experiment with this sample 1, in the sheet base material 1 of Example 1, the liquid absorption rate (amount) per volume in the fiber layer portion A of the concave portion 2 is that of the fiber layer portion B in the convex portion 3. It turns out that it is larger.

(サンプル2) シート基材1の坪量を75g/m2 、凸部3の繊維層部分Bの厚さT1を2.04mm、凹部2の繊維層部分Aの厚さT2を0.91mmとし、その他の点は実施例1と同様にした。この実施例2のシート基材1から下記のサンプル2を切り出して、水を含ませることにより、吸液量の分布をみた。 (Sample 2) The basis weight of the sheet substrate 1 is 75 g / m 2 , the thickness T1 of the fiber layer portion B of the convex portion 3 is 2.04 mm, and the thickness T2 of the fiber layer portion A of the concave portion 2 is 0.91 mm. The other points were the same as in Example 1. The following sample 2 was cut out from the sheet base material 1 of Example 2 and water was included to observe the distribution of liquid absorption.

このサンプル2での試作実験によれば、実施例2のシート基材1においても、凹部2での繊維層部分Aの容積当たりの吸液率(量)が凸部3での繊維層部分Bのそれよりも大きいことが判る。   According to the prototype experiment with Sample 2, also in the sheet base material 1 of Example 2, the liquid absorption rate (amount) per volume of the fiber layer portion A in the concave portion 2 is the fiber layer portion B in the convex portion 3. You can see that it is bigger than that.

次に、水60重量%、エタノール35重量%、ポリプロピレングリコール5重量%の水溶液にシート基材1をドブ漬けして、シート基材1に液を含浸させた。液を含浸させた状態で長時間放置したが、先の繊維層部分Aは、液を含むも膨張状態に復元することはなかった。この状態を観察したとき、凹部2の存在部位が各凸部3よりも液をよく含浸し、基本的には白灰色の凹部2を下地にして白っぽい各凸部3が独立した島柄模様でくっきりと浮き上がるように現出した。また、時間の経過とともに、凹部2よりも各凸部3での水分蒸発量が多いところから、各凸部3の島柄模様が更に顕著に現出するものとなった。すなわち、各凸部3の繊維層部分Bは、凹部2の繊維層部分Aよりも空気を大量に抱き込んで白く反射した状態になる。   Next, the sheet base material 1 was immersed in an aqueous solution of 60% by weight of water, 35% by weight of ethanol, and 5% by weight of polypropylene glycol, and the sheet base material 1 was impregnated with the liquid. Although it was allowed to stand for a long time in the state of being impregnated with the liquid, the previous fiber layer portion A contained the liquid but was not restored to the expanded state. When this state is observed, the portion where the concave portion 2 exists is more impregnated with the liquid than each convex portion 3, and basically each whitish convex portion 3 has an independent island pattern with the white gray concave portion 2 as a base. Appeared to rise clearly. Further, with the passage of time, since the amount of water evaporation at each convex portion 3 was larger than that at the concave portion 2, the island pattern of each convex portion 3 appeared more remarkably. That is, the fiber layer portion B of each convex portion 3 is in a state of being reflected in white by embracing a larger amount of air than the fiber layer portion A of the concave portion 2.

シート基材1における凹部2の面積占有率は、10%〜40%にすればよい。10%を下回ると、凸部3の面積が多くなり過ぎて、くっきりとした島柄模様が得られないし、40%を超えると、吸液量が低くなり過ぎて、ウェットティッシュとしての実用性が損なわれるからである。   What is necessary is just to make the area occupation rate of the recessed part 2 in the sheet | seat base material 1 into 10%-40%. If it is less than 10%, the area of the convex part 3 will be too large and a clear island pattern will not be obtained. If it exceeds 40%, the liquid absorption will be too low, making it practical as a wet tissue. It is because it is damaged.

(実施例2) 実施例2のシート基材1は、吸液性繊維としてパルプ繊維を45重量%、熱融着性を有する疎水性繊維として芯鞘繊維を55重量%それぞれ含む不織布を用い、他は実施例1と同様にしてウェットティッシュを得た。 (Example 2) The sheet base material 1 of Example 2 uses a nonwoven fabric containing 45% by weight of pulp fibers as liquid-absorbing fibers and 55% by weight of core-sheath fibers as hydrophobic fibers having heat-fusibility, Otherwise, a wet tissue was obtained in the same manner as in Example 1.

但し、芯鞘繊維には、芯部分がポリエチレンテレスタレートであって鞘部分がポリエチレンからな第1の芯鞘繊維と、芯部分がポリプロピレンであって鞘部分がポリエチレンからなる第2の芯鞘繊維との2種を用いた。第1の芯鞘繊維は、0.5〜1.5デニールでシート基材1の全体繊維の25重量%、第2芯鞘繊維は1.0〜2.5デニールでシート基材1の全体繊維の30重量%とした。   However, the core-sheath fiber includes a first core-sheath fiber in which the core part is polyethylene telesterate and the sheath part is made of polyethylene, and a second core sheath whose core part is polypropylene and the sheath part is made of polyethylene. Two types with fiber were used. The first core-sheath fiber is 0.5 to 1.5 denier and 25% by weight of the total fiber of the sheet base material 1, and the second core-sheath fiber is 1.0 to 2.5 denier of the entire sheet base material 1 30% by weight of the fiber.

第1の芯鞘繊維は腰の強さ(剛性)があり、第2の芯鞘繊維は柔軟性に富み、硬軟の組み合わせにより、シート基材1中に液が入る空間を確保しながらも柔弾性に富み、鞘部分で熱融着作用を有効に発揮できるものとした。   The first core-sheath fiber has waist strength (rigidity), and the second core-sheath fiber is rich in flexibility, and the combination of hardness and softness ensures a soft space while ensuring a space for liquid to enter the sheet substrate 1. It is rich in elasticity and can effectively exhibit the heat-sealing action at the sheath portion.

(実施例3) 図4は本発明に係るウェットティッシュの実施例3を示しており、これのシート基材1の上側表面には、コットンに熱融着性繊維を含む薄厚の表面層7が一体に積層形成されている。かくして、シート基材1がコットン表面層7と共に加熱加圧下でエンボス加工されており、その余の構成は先の実施例2と同じである。 (Example 3) FIG. 4 shows Example 3 of a wet tissue according to the present invention. On the upper surface of the sheet base material 1, a thin surface layer 7 containing heat-fusible fibers in cotton is provided. The layers are integrally formed. Thus, the sheet base material 1 is embossed together with the cotton surface layer 7 under heat and pressure, and the rest of the configuration is the same as in the second embodiment.

実施例3のウェットティッシュによれば、コットン表面層7が豊かな吸液性と肌当たりの良さとを保証した高級なものになる。エンボス加工時にコットン表面層7も、凹部2の存在部位において高密度に圧縮され、熱融着性繊維による熱融着作用で圧縮状態によく維持されている。しかも、コットン表面層7は、シート基材1と一体結着しているので、液を含ませたとき凹部2において膨張状態に復元することを規制できる。したがって、各凸部3による独立した島模様がくっきりと現出したものが得られる。   According to the wet tissue of Example 3, the cotton surface layer 7 becomes a high-grade one that guarantees rich liquid absorbency and good skin contact. At the time of embossing, the cotton surface layer 7 is also compressed at a high density in the portion where the recess 2 is present, and is well maintained in a compressed state by the heat fusion action by the heat-fusible fiber. And since the cotton surface layer 7 is united with the sheet | seat base material 1, when a liquid is included, it can restrict | restoring to restore | restore in an expanded state in the recessed part 2. FIG. Therefore, what the independent island pattern by each convex part 3 appeared clearly is obtained.

(別実施例) 請求項1において、シート基材1の下面1aは、必ずしも平坦面に形成されていることを要さず、例えば凹部2に対応する下面1aの部分が内凹み状ないしは凸状、各凸部3に対応する下面1aの部分が凸状ないしは内凹み状にそれぞれ形成されていてもよい。 (Another Example) In claim 1, the lower surface 1a of the sheet substrate 1 does not necessarily have to be formed on a flat surface. For example, a portion of the lower surface 1a corresponding to the recess 2 is indented or convex. The portions of the lower surface 1a corresponding to the respective convex portions 3 may be formed in a convex shape or an inner concave shape, respectively.
