=== First Embodiment ===
<Basic configuration of sanitary napkin 1>
A sanitary napkin 1 (hereinafter referred to as “napkin 1”) will be described as an example of the absorbent article according to the present embodiment. In the following description, a sanitary napkin will be described as an example of the absorbent article, but the absorbent article of the present embodiment also includes a so-called cage sheet (for example, a panty liner) and the like. It is not limited to napkins.

  FIG. 1 is a front view of the sanitary napkin 1 as viewed from the skin side in the thickness direction. FIG. 2 is a plan view of the napkin 1 viewed from the non-skin side in the thickness direction. FIG. 3 is a schematic cross section taken along line AA in FIG. In the following description, the “longitudinal direction” along the product longitudinal direction of the napkin 1, the “width direction” orthogonal to the longitudinal direction along the product lateral direction of the napkin 1, the longitudinal direction and the width direction, respectively. It is defined as the “thickness direction” orthogonal to each other. The longitudinal direction has a “front side” that is the stomach side of the wearer when the napkin 1 is used, and a “rear side” that is the back side of the wearer. The thickness direction is the “skin side” (also referred to as “upper side”), which is the side that contacts the wearer's skin when the napkin 1 is worn (also referred to as “upper side”), and the opposite side (lower side in FIG. 3). And “non-skin side” (also referred to as “lower side”). Moreover, the XX line in a figure is a centerline in the width direction.

  The napkin 1 is a sheet-like member having a vertically long shape in plan view, a liquid-permeable top sheet (skin-side sheet) 20, a liquid-absorbing absorber 10, and a liquid-impermeable back sheet (non-skin-side sheet). 30) are laminated in order from the skin side to the non-skin side in the thickness direction (see FIG. 3). Each of the members 20, 10, and 30 is joined to a member adjacent in the thickness direction with an adhesive HMA such as a hot melt adhesive. The adhesive HMA is applied in an arbitrary application pattern over the entire skin side and non-skin side of the absorbent body 10, and is selected from application patterns such as an Ω pattern, a spiral pattern, and a stripe pattern. be able to.

  The top sheet 20 and the back sheet 30 have the same planar shape, and the planar size is larger than the planar size of the absorbent body 10. And as shown in FIG.1 and FIG.2, the absorber 10 hold | maintains between both sheets 20 and 30 by joining the outer-periphery edge parts 20e and 30e of both sheets 20 and 30 by adhesion | attachment or welding. Is done. In addition, the wing part, which is a fixing part provided when the napkin 1 is placed and fixed on an undergarment (not shown), has a substantially central portion in the longitudinal direction of the top sheet 20 and the back sheet 30 extending outward in the width direction. 20w and 30w are formed.

  The absorbent body 10 includes an absorbent core 11, an upper sheet 12, and a lower sheet 13. The absorptive core 11 is a member that absorbs and holds liquid (excretion fluid) such as menstrual blood. The absorbent core 11 has cellulosic absorbent fibers, which are liquid absorbent fibers, and thermoplastic resin fibers, and these fibers are mixed with each other in a plan view as shown by a broken line in FIG. It is formed into a vertically long shape. For example, pulp fibers or the like are used as the liquid absorbent fibers, and composite fibers having a so-called sheath core structure in which the sheath is polyethylene (PE) and the core is polyethylene terephthalate (PET) are used as the thermoplastic resin fibers. In addition, a rayon fiber may be used as this liquid absorptive fiber, and a single fiber of polypropylene (PP) or a single fiber of PE may be used as the thermoplastic resin fiber. Moreover, you may add liquid absorptive granular materials, such as a superabsorbent polymer (what is called SAP), to a liquid absorptive fiber.

  The upper sheet 12 is a sheet member having substantially the same planar shape as the absorbent core 11 and is joined by an adhesive HMA so as to cover the skin side surface of the absorbent core 11 (FIG. 3). As the upper sheet 12, a flexible sheet having excellent liquid permeability such as a nonwoven fabric such as an air-through nonwoven fabric or a tissue paper is used. The lower sheet 13 is a sheet member having substantially the same planar shape as the absorbent core 11 and is joined by an adhesive HMA so as to cover the non-skin side surface of the absorbent core 11 (FIG. 3). The lower sheet 13 is made of a non-woven fabric such as SMS (spunbond / meltblown / spunbond) non-woven fabric or a flexible sheet such as tissue paper.

FIG. 4 is a plan view of the absorbent body 10 of the napkin 1 as viewed from the non-skin side in the thickness direction. FIG. 4 shows the outline of the napkin 1 with a dotted line for convenience. The absorbent body 10 is provided with a plurality of absorbent body point compression parts ED10 in order to increase the rigidity of the absorbent body 10 and improve the absorbability and diffusibility of the liquid. The planar shape of the absorber squeezed pressing part ED10 is substantially circular and is a staggered arrangement pattern, but is not limited to this. Moreover, the thickness of the absorber 10 is 3 mm or less, desirably 2 mm or less, and the fiber density of the absorber 10 is 1.0 × 10 ^{5 to} 4.0 × 10 ⁵ (g / m ³ ) and is substantially uniform. It is. However, the mass of the fiber per unit area of the absorbent body 10 is different between the front side portion, the center portion, and the rear side portion in the longitudinal direction. In this embodiment, the mass (weight) per unit area of the liquid absorbent fiber is 175 (g / m ² ) at the front side, 250 (g / m ² ) at the center, and 175 (g / m) at the rear. m ² ), the mass of fibers per unit area in the central part is the largest, and the thickness of the absorbent body 10 (t10) in the central part is larger than the thickness (tb10) of the absorbent body 10 in the front side part and the rear side part Is large (t10> tb10).

Each thickness of the front side part, the center part, and the rear side part of the absorbent body 10, the mass of the fiber per unit area, and the density of the liquid absorbent fiber (also referred to as “fiber density”) can be measured by a known method. it can. For example, for each thickness, dial thickness gauge ID-C1012C manufactured by Mitutoyo Corporation or equivalent is used, the contact area is set to 20 cm ² and the contact pressure is set to ³ gf / cm ² to add the target part. It may be measured by pressing, or may be compared visually, or may be compared using an image obtained by photographing a cross section of the napkin 1 cut in the longitudinal direction. Moreover, the mass of the fiber per unit area is cut out from the napkin 1 as a target sample, for example, and the mass of the target sample is measured with a direct balance (for example, electronic balance HF-300 manufactured by Kensei Kogyo Co., Ltd.). Alternatively, the area of the target sample may be measured to calculate the mass per unit area. For example, the density of the fiber is obtained by cutting the target part from the napkin 1 as a target sample, measuring the mass (g / m ² ) per unit area of the target sample with the above-described measurement method, and measuring the thickness of the target sample with the above-described measurement method. It can be calculated by measuring (m) and dividing the mass per unit area of the target sample by the thickness of the target sample (g / m ³ ).

  Furthermore, the linear recessed part 15 along the longitudinal direction is formed in the center area | region of the width direction in the non-skin side surface of the absorber 10. FIG. The concave portion 15 is provided in a substantially linear shape over the entire length in the longitudinal direction of the absorbent body 10 including at least the crotch portion located at the crotch portion when worn. The “groin region” is a region located in the crotch portion when the wearer uses the napkin 1, and specifically, a region where the wing adhesive portion 40 w is formed in the longitudinal direction of the napkin 1. Say. The concave portion 15 is guided so as to protrude and bend toward the skin side in the thickness direction when worn. Details of the recess 15 will be described later.

  The top sheet 20 is a member that comes into contact with the skin of the wearer when the napkin 1 is used, and allows liquid such as menstrual blood to permeate from the skin side in the thickness direction to the non-skin side and move to the absorbent body 10. As the top sheet 20, a liquid-permeable flexible sheet of an appropriate nonwoven fabric such as an air-through nonwoven fabric is used.

  As shown in FIG. 1, a plurality of pressing parts (a linear pressing part EL and a main body point pressing part ED20) are formed on the skin side surface of the top sheet 20 from the skin side. And the absorber 10 are squeezed together in the thickness direction and joined and integrated. A plurality of linear compressed portions EL are formed in a row along the outer peripheral edge of the absorbent body 10 and have a substantially annular shape that is long in the longitudinal direction as a whole. On the other hand, the main body point squeezed portion ED20 is substantially circular, and is formed discretely in a substantially closed region where the linear squeezed portion EL is partitioned on the top sheet 20.

  The backsheet 30 suppresses the liquid that has passed through the topsheet 20 and is absorbed by the absorbent body 10 when the napkin 1 is used from exuding to the clothing side (non-skin side) such as underwear. As the back sheet 30, a liquid-impermeable flexible sheet of an appropriate resin film such as polyethylene (PE) is used.

  As shown in FIG. 2, on the non-skin surface side of the back sheet 30, there are adhesive portions (a wing adhesive portion 40 w and a main body adhesive portion 40 c) for attaching and fixing the napkin 1 to underwear or the like when the napkin 1 is used. Is provided. The wing bonding portion 40w is a pair of bonding portions formed in a substantially rectangular shape on the non-skin surface side of the wing portion 30w. The main body bonding portion 40c is an appropriate adhesive in a plurality of band-like regions along the longitudinal direction in the portion between the width direction of the pair of wing bonding portions 40w, where the back sheet 30 and the absorbent body 10 overlap. It is formed by applying HMA. When the napkin 1 is used, the absorbent body 10 is positioned with respect to the wearer's body by attaching the napkin 1 together with the underwear while the main body adhesive portion 30c is attached to the inside of the crotch portion (crotch portion) of the underwear. Do not slip. Similarly, the wing bonding part 40w is formed by applying an appropriate adhesive HMA to a substantially rectangular area in the area of the wing part 30w. When using the napkin 1, the napkin 1 is fixed so that the wing 30w (20w) is bent to the non-skin side and the wing adhesive portion 40w is stuck to the outside of the crotch of the underwear. Suppress etc.

<Regarding the formation of the point-like compressed parts ED10, ED20, and the recess 15>
Then, formation of the point-like pressing parts ED10, ED20, and the recessed part 15 is demonstrated. Absorber point squeezing part ED10 and main part point squeezing part ED20 are provided by pressing in the thickness direction from the skin side or non-skin side, and at least the skin side or non-skin side is dented. The recessed part 15 is a linear pressing part along the longitudinal direction, and is provided in a central region including the center line XX in the width direction of the absorbent body 10 (napkin 1). Has an area. Moreover, the recessed part 15 is a linear recessed part with which the non-skin side surface provided by pressing in the thickness direction from the non-skin surface side of the absorber 10 was dented.

  5A to 5D are diagrams illustrating the formation of the point-like compressed parts ED10, ED20, and the recessed part 15. FIG. FIG. 5A is a schematic cross-sectional view in which an absorbent body point squeezed portion ED10 is formed on the absorbent body 10 before processing in the portion indicated by arrows BB in FIG. FIG. 5B is a schematic cross-sectional view in which a recess 15 is formed in the absorbent body 10 of FIG. 5A. FIG. 5C is a schematic cross-sectional view in which a top sheet 20 is laminated on the absorbent body 10 of FIG. 5B. FIG. 5D is a schematic cross-sectional view in which a main body squeezed portion ED20 is formed on the napkin 1 of FIG. 5C. In addition, the absorber 10 in FIG. 5A is the absorber 10 of the part shown by the BB arrow in FIG. 1, Comprising: The absorber before a process before forming the point-like pressing parts ED10, ED20, and the recessed part 15 FIG. 5B shows a state in the middle of processing in which the recess 15 is formed in the absorbent body 10 of FIG. 5A, and FIG. 5D shows the state of the absorbent body 10. 2 shows the absorbent body 10 after processing in which the point-like compressed parts ED10 and ED20 and the recess 15 are formed, and is shown as the absorbent body 10 for convenience. 5A, FIG. 5B, and FIG. 5C are center lines of the absorber 10 in the thickness direction, and YY in FIG. 5D is a center line of the napkin 1 in the thickness direction. . The center line YY is a center line in the thickness direction of the napkin 1, and is also a center line in the thickness direction of an outer region L of the absorber 10 described later.

  First, the absorber point pressing part ED10 is formed. The absorbent body 10 before processing has a thickness t10 over the entire region, and the skin side surface of the absorbent body 10 is the skin side surface 10t, and the non-skin side surface is the non-skin side surface 10b. Pressing from the non-skin side of the absorbent body 10 through the absorbent body 10 before processing into a roll gap between a convex roller (not shown) having a plurality of protrusions and an anvil roller (not shown) having a flat surface. Is performed to form the absorber point-like compressed portion ED10.

  As shown to FIG. 5A, the part in which the absorber dotted | punctate pressing part ED10 was formed is dented from each of the skin side and the non-skin side, and is located in the approximate center part in the thickness direction of the absorber 10. FIG. Moreover, the thickness of the absorber 10 of the absorber dotted compression part ED10 becomes smaller than the thickness t10 by the pressing process, and the fiber is crushed and the fiber density is higher than the portion having the thickness of t10.

  Subsequently, the recess 15 is formed. The recessed part 15 is formed by adding a pressing process to the center area | region in the width direction of the absorber 10 (FIG. 5B). Specifically, it is formed using a pair of roll portions 50 having an upper roll 51u and a lower roll 51d that are driven and rotated along the transport direction.

  FIG. 6 is a schematic enlarged view of the pair of roll portions 50. The absorbent body 10 is transported with its longitudinal direction facing the transport direction, and when the direction orthogonal to the transport direction is defined as the “CD direction”, the width direction of the absorbent body 10 is basically directed to the CD direction. Yes.

  The upper roll 51u is provided with a rib portion 51r protruding annularly continuously over the entire circumference in the rotation direction, and the cross-sectional shape orthogonal to the rotation direction of the rib portion 51r is the rotation radius of the upper roll 51u. The rib width becomes narrower toward the outside in the direction, and the tip has a substantially isosceles trapezoidal shape with a top surface 51rt parallel to the CD direction. Of the formed recess 15, at least a part of the portion with which the top surface 51 rt comes into contact is the deepest portion 15 m described later. The length of the top surface 51rt in the CD direction (width direction) is preferably 0.5 mm to 3.0 mm, and is 1.0 mm in the present embodiment. Further, in the lower roll 51d, a groove 51m into which the rib 51r can be inserted is provided on the outer peripheral surface at a position facing the rib 51r continuously in an annular shape over the entire circumference in the rotational direction. The shape of the cross section orthogonal to the rotation direction of the groove 51m also has a substantially isosceles trapezoidal shape having a bottom surface 51mb parallel to the CD direction, with the groove width becoming narrower toward the inside in the rotation radius direction of the lower roll 51d.

The concave portion 15 is formed by pressing the rib portion 51r into the groove portion 51m and performing a pressing process so that the thickness of the absorber 10 at the portion where the top surface 51rt is in contact is the smallest. Specifically, absorption is performed in a state where the non-skin side surface 10b of the absorber 10 is the upper roll 51u and the skin side surface 10t of the absorber 10 is the lower roll 51d side along the conveyance direction between the upper and lower rolls 51u and 51d. As shown in FIG. 6, the rib portion 51 r is pushed into the groove portion 51 m to the portion located on the skin side from the skin side surface 10 t of the absorbent body 10 before processing. Also, the portion P ₀ of the absorbent body 10 which abuts on the boundary portion between the outer peripheral surface and the groove 51m of the lower roll 51d, skin side recess P will be described later, it is formed.

  At this time, the fiber density of the portion of the recess 15 where the absorber 10 is the thinnest in contact with the top surface 51rt is increased. The concave portion 15 is formed by pushing the rib portion 51r into the groove portion 51m, unlike the point-like compressed portions ED10 and ED20 formed by using an anvil roll, and is thus more compacted than the point-like compressed portions ED10 and ED20. Has been processed.

  Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 5C, the top sheet 20 previously coated with the adhesive HMA is laminated and fixed from the skin side of the absorbent body 10.

  After laminating the top sheet 20, the main body squeezed portion ED20 is formed. The top sheet 20 and the absorbent body 10 are squeezed together in the thickness direction from above the top sheet 20 to form a main body point-like compressed portion ED. The main body point squeezed portion ED20 is formed in a roll gap between a convex roller (not shown) having a plurality of protrusions and an anvil roller (not shown) having a flat surface, similarly to the absorber point squeezed portion ED10. It forms by performing the pressing process from the skin side through the absorber 10 which mounted the top sheet 20 (FIG. 5D).

  After the formation of the main body point pressing part ED20, the linear pressing part EL is formed. The linear squeezing portion EL is formed in a roll gap between a convex roller (not shown) having a plurality of protrusions having an arrangement pattern corresponding to the linear squeezing portion EL and an anvil roller (not shown) having a flat surface. The linear pressing part EL is formed by performing the pressing process from the skin side through the absorbent body 10.

  Thereafter, the back sheet 30 is laminated and fixed from the non-skin side of the absorbent body 10. At this time, adhesive HMA is applied in a predetermined application pattern on substantially the entire surface of the backsheet 30 in advance, and the backsheet 30 is laminated by applying a certain pressure from the non-skin surface side of the absorbent body 10.

  In addition, in this embodiment, it formed in order of formation of absorber point squeezing part ED10, formation of crevice 15, lamination of top sheet 20, formation of main part point squeezing part ED20, formation of linear pressing part EL. However, it is not limited to this. First, the recessed part 15 may be formed and the absorber dotted | punctate pressing part ED10 may be formed. Alternatively, the recess 15 may be formed after the top sheet 20 is laminated on the absorbent body 10.

Hereinafter, the aspect at the time of use of the napkin 1 is demonstrated. FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating a usage mode of the napkin 1. When the wearer wears the napkin 1, first, the napkin 1 in a flat state is fixed to the crotch part (crotch portion) of the underwear as represented by the state A in FIG. At this time, when the length of the absorbent body 10 in the width direction is 70 mm, the wing portion 30w (20w) is bent to the non-skin side, the wing adhesive portion 40w is affixed to the outside of the crotch portion of the underwear, and the napkin 1 is fixed. The length in the width direction of the napkin 1 is approximately the same as the length in the width direction of the absorbent body 10. Generally, since the wearer's crotch width is about 30 mm, the length in the width direction of the napkin 1 (absorber 10) in this state A is longer. Usually, as the length in the width direction of the absorbent body 10 is longer, more excrement can be absorbed. However, if the length in the width direction of the absorbent body 10 is too long, the width of the inseam of the wearer Since it becomes large, the wearer may feel uncomfortable or may be bent at an unexpected part, and excrement may leak. Therefore, as described later, it is appropriate that the length of the absorbent body 10 is about 70 mm in consideration of deformation according to the wearer's body.

  Subsequently, an operation of pulling up the underwear toward the wearer's crotch 201K is performed. At this time, as shown in the state B of FIG. 7, the napkin 1 is bent so as to protrude toward the skin side along the concave portion 15 of the absorbent body 10. In the state where the napkin 1 is worn in the wearer's crotch 201K, as shown in the state C of FIG. 7, the portion that is guided to the concave portion 15 and protrudes to the skin side (skin side portion H in FIG. 8A and the like) It becomes easy to come into contact with the gap where the excretion opening 201He such as the vaginal opening is present. Thereby, while making it easy to make a wearer feel good fitting property, excretion fluids, such as menstrual blood, can be made easy to absorb into absorber 10 without leaking. Moreover, since it deform | transforms according to a wearer's body shape, the absorber 10 (napkin 1) which has a width | variety longer than a wearer's crotch width becomes a size suitable for a wearer's body, and absorbs excretion. While securing, the napkin 1 can be fitted to the wearer's body.

<Regarding the configuration and action of the recess 15>
8A is a schematic cross-sectional view of the recess 15 in FIG. 5D, and FIG. 8B is an enlarged view of a portion Z in FIG. 8A. FIG. 9A is a diagram illustrating the recess 15 of the napkin 1 before use. FIG. 9B is a view for explaining the recess 15 of the napkin 1 in a worn state, and is a partially enlarged view of the recess 15 in the state C in FIG. 7. The length and depth of each part in the following description can be measured by a known method. For example, it can be measured using an image obtained by photographing a cross section of the napkin 1 cut in the width direction.

  The concave portion 15 is a groove formed by pressing, and in the state of the napkin 1 before use, the other side of the non-skin side surface 10b of the absorbent body 10 starts to bend toward the skin side on one side in the width direction. To the part that has been curved toward the skin side. The length 15w in the width direction of the recess 15 is preferably 1.5 mm to 3.5 mm. In the present embodiment, the length 15w is about 2.4 mm. The longer this 15w is, the easier it is for the absorber 10 to bend, but since the recess 15 is formed by pressing, the fibers may be crushed and hardened. As the length 15w is increased, excrement etc. The capacity to hold the liquid is reduced. Therefore, the width 15w of the recess 15 is set to 2.0 mm to 3 mm in consideration of easiness of bending so as to protrude to the skin side and securing of the liquid absorption region of the absorbent body 10 that absorbs excrement. 0.0 mm is preferable.

  A portion of the absorbent body 10 that is adjacent to the concave portion 15 from the skin side in the thickness direction is referred to as a skin side portion H, and is a portion that overlaps the concave portion 15 in the width direction (a dark sandy pattern region in FIG. 8A). Moreover, the site | part which adjoins the skin side site | part H from the outer side in the width direction is called the outer site | part L, and is a part which has the thickness t10 of the absorber 10 in which each point-like pressing part ED10, 20 and the recessed part 15 are not formed, The skin side surface 10t and the non-skin side surface 10b of the outer part L are substantially the same positions as the skin side surface 10t and the non-skin side surface 10b of the absorbent body 10 before processing. In the present embodiment, the thickness t10 is about 1.3 mm. At this time, the fiber density of the skin part H is higher than the fiber density of the outer part L. Generally, it is known that the higher the fiber density, the faster the liquid is absorbed by capillary action. Therefore, in a wearing state (state C in FIG. 7), when bent so as to be raised toward the skin side, the excrement can be absorbed more quickly due to the high fiber density of the skin side portion H contacting the excretion opening. . Of the skin side portion H, a region adjacent to the deepest portion 15m that is the deepest portion of the recess 15 from the skin side and overlapping the deepest portion 15m in the width direction is referred to as a high density region DH. Since the deepest portion 15m has a predetermined length (for example, about 0.8 mm) in the width direction (W in FIG. 8A), the high-density region DH includes not only the longitudinal direction but also a planar region along the width direction. Have.

  Further, the center Hc in the thickness direction of the high-density region DH is located on the skin side with respect to the center Lc in the thickness direction of the absorbent body 10 at the position overlapping the outer portion L in the width direction. In the present embodiment, the center Lc is substantially the same position as the center yy in the thickness direction of the absorbent body 10 before processing. Thereby, even when force is applied in the width direction by the wearer's crotch (leg) at the time of wearing, it can be induced to bend so as to protrude to the skin side rather than the deformation protruding to the non-skin side. The excrement can be absorbed at a position closer to the excretion opening of the wearer.

  The depth L15 in the depth direction, that is, the distance L2 in the thickness direction from the non-skin side surface 10b (absorbent body 10 before processing) of the outer portion L to the deepest portion 15m is the deepest portion 15m to the skin side portion H (high density). It is longer than the distance L1 in the thickness direction to the skin side surface 10t of the region DH) (L2> L1). In the present embodiment, the depth L2 of the deepest portion 15m is 0.8 mm, and the distance L1 in the thickness direction from the deepest portion 15m to the skin side surface 10t of the skin side portion H is 0.5 mm. The fiber density in the region DH is increased.

  Further, the recess 15 has a pair of skin-side recesses P on both outer sides in the width direction of the high-density region DH. Each skin side recessed part P is provided in the skin side surface of the absorber 10 along the longitudinal direction, and the region (part) contacting the skin side deepest part Pm which is the deepest part of the skin side recessed part P is defined as skin. This is referred to as a side recess region PH.

  Of the absorbent body 10, the fiber density of the region (part) in contact with the deepest portion 15m of the recess 15, that is, the fiber density of the high-density region DH is in contact with the skin-side deepest portion Pm of the skin-side recess region PH. It is higher than the fiber density of the region (part). Therefore, first, the concave portion 15 having the high density region DH having a higher fiber density is guided to bend toward the skin side, and then each skin side concave portion P having the skin side concave portion area PH having a lower fiber density has a width. The outer part of the direction can be guided to bend toward the non-skin side.

  FIG. 8B shows a state where the virtual straight line V is brought close to the cross section of the napkin 1 (absorber 10) along the width direction so that the virtual straight line V and the absorber 10 are in contact with each other at two points. The skin-side concave portion P is a groove formed by pressing, and in the state of the napkin 1 before use, one of the two points on the skin side surface 10t of the absorbent body 10 where the virtual straight line and the absorbent body 10 are in contact with each other. Is the indentation start point, and the other is the indentation end point. The length Wp in the width direction of each skin-side recess P is shorter than the length 15 w in the width direction of the recess 15. Specifically, the length Wp is preferably 0.3 mm to 1.2 mm. In the present embodiment, the length Wp is about 0.8 mm. Accordingly, the absorbent body 10 is guided to bend toward the skin side by the concave portion 15 having a longer length in the width direction, and is guided to be bent toward the non-skin side by the skin side concave portion P having a shorter length in the width direction. can do.

  The depth of the skin-side concave portion P refers to the distance L3 between the virtual straight line V and the skin-side deepest portion Pm (FIG. 8B). At this time, the depth (L3) of the skin-side concave portion P is the deepest portion from the depth of the deepest portion 15m of the concave portion 15, that is, the non-skin side surface 10b (absorbent body 10 before processing) of the skin side surface 10b of the outer portion L. It is smaller than the distance L2 in the thickness direction up to 15 m (L3 <L2). Specifically, in the present embodiment, the depth (L3) of the skin-side deepest portion Pm is about 0.2 mm, and the depth (L2) of the deepest portion 15m is about 0.8 mm. In addition, although the depth of the skin side recessed part P is the distance L3 of the skin side deepest part Pm and the virtual straight line V, as shown to FIG. 8B etc., the top sheet 20 and the skin side deepest part Pm have adhere | attached. When there is not, the depth of the skin side deepest part Pm is substantially equal to the distance of the top sheet 20 and the skin side deepest part Pm.

  By having the pair of skin-side recesses P, when the absorbent body 10 is bent so that the skin-side portion H is raised on the skin side in the wearing state shown in the state C of FIG. The region between the skin-side recesses P is a portion that comes into contact with the wearer's skin (FIG. 9B).

  FIG. 10A is a diagram illustrating the recess 150 of the napkin 100 before use. FIG. 10B is a diagram illustrating the recess 150 of the napkin 100 in a worn state. 10A and 10B, the same numbers and symbols as those of the napkin 1 are used for the sake of convenience. As shown in FIG. 10A, the napkin 100 does not have a pair of skin side recesses on the skin side of the absorbent body 10. The absorbent body 10 of the napkin 100 is formed by pressing the rib portion 51r shallowly into the groove portion 51m, forming the rib portion 51r in a short time, or changing the shape of the rib portion 51r when the recess 150 is formed. Can do. If the pair of skin-side recesses P is not provided, the deepest portion 150m often does not have a predetermined length. Therefore, in FIGS. 10A and 10B, a mountain shape having the deepest portion 150m as a vertex is used. A recess 150 is shown.

  When the napkin 100 is put into the wearing state in the state C of FIG. 7, force is applied to the absorbent body 10 toward the inner side in the width direction by the wearer's crotch so that the skin side portion H protrudes to the skin side. When the absorbent body 10 is bent, the fiber density at the position where the deepest portion 150m is provided is the highest in the width direction (high density region DH), and it becomes easy to form a mountain shape with the high density region DH at the top (see FIG. 10B). For this reason, when the napkin 100 is worn, the high-density region DH that is the apex comes into contact with the excretion opening of the wearer, which may cause the wearer to feel uncomfortable.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 9A and the like, the napkin 1 of the present embodiment has a pair of skin-side recesses P on both outer sides in the width direction of the deepest portion 15m (high-density region DH), thereby When a force toward the inner side in the width direction of the absorbent body 10 is applied in the wearing state of C, as shown in FIG. 9B, the concave portion 15 is guided to protrude the high-density region DH toward the skin, The outer side in the width direction of the side recess P is guided to bend toward the non-skin side. That is, first, a deeper (L2) recess 15 with a deeper groove induces bending that protrudes in the skin direction, and subsequently, a deeper groove (L3) with a skin-side recess P moves the outer portion in the width direction to the non-skin side. It is guided to bend. Thereby, the area between the pair of skin-side recesses P can be more easily maintained as a plane along the width direction than the napkin 100 without the skin-side recesses P provided. Thereby, even when the napkin 1 (absorber 10) is deformed to the wearing state (state C in FIG. 7), the high-density region DH abuts on the portion that abuts against the skin of the wearer in a planar shape. Can be improved, and a sense of incongruity when worn can be reduced.

  Further, in the width direction, in the portion adjacent to both outer sides of the high-density region DH located on the most skin side, on the inner side of the skin-side concave portion P, the skin-side portion H having a fiber density lower than that of the high-density region DH. It has a region (FIG. 9B). Therefore, in the wearing state, not only the high-density region DH but also the skin-side portion H adjacent to the high-density region DH can easily come into contact with the wearer's skin, so that the touch can be improved.

  Furthermore, each skin side recessed part P has overlapped with the recessed part 15 in the width direction (FIG. 8, FIG. 9A). Accordingly, it is easy to guide each skin-side concave portion P to bend toward the non-skin side with the deformation of the concave portion 15 projecting to the skin side, and the plane portion where the region between the skin-side concave portions touches the wearer's skin. It becomes easy to become. Therefore, the skin contact in the wearing state can be improved.

  The deepest portion 15m is, in the width direction, between one end of the skin-side recess P on one side (left side in FIG. 8A) and the other end of the skin-side recess P on the other side (right side in FIG. 8A). The central portion in the width direction of the concave portion 15 is located at the central portion, and the central portion between the one side end of the skin side concave portion P on one side and the other side end of the skin side concave portion P on the other side. It is almost the same position. Thereby, it becomes easy to bend | fold so that it may protrude to the skin side symmetrically with respect to the center of the width direction of the absorber 10, and a wearer wears by aligning the center of the body with the center of the napkin 1 about the width direction. It becomes easy to fit a wearer's excretion opening in a state.

  Moreover, as shown to FIG. 8A etc., the deepest part 15m and the back sheet 30 are spaced apart, and the deepest part 15m and the back sheet 30 are not adhere | attached with the adhesive agent HMA. Thereby, when the absorbent body 10 is deformed so that the deepest portion 15m of the recess 15 is the starting point and protrudes toward the skin side, the possibility of the deformation being hindered by the rigidity of the back sheet 30 can be reduced.

  In the wearing state (state C in FIG. 7), the napkin 1 is folded in the crotch region by the recess 15 formed in the crotch region, and improves the fit to the excretion opening of the wearer. ing. In order to make the absorber 10 bend easily, the depth (L2) of the deepest portion 15m is made larger than the thickness (L1) from the deepest portion 15m to the skin side surface 10t of the high-density region DH (L2> L1). The depth (L2) of the deepest portion 15m is smaller than the thickness (L1) from the deepest portion 15m to the skin side surface 10t of the high-density region DH (L2 <L1), as in the state C of FIG. When a force from the wearer's crotch (leg) to the inside in the width direction is applied at the time of wearing, the concave portion 15 is easily bent. Moreover, the deepest part 15m and the back sheet | seat 30 can be spaced apart, and the possibility that the back sheet | seat 30 may obstruct the deformation | transformation which the absorber 10 bends can be reduced.

  Moreover, as shown to FIG. 8A etc., the skin side deepest part Pm of the skin side recessed part P and the top sheet 20 are spaced apart, and the skin side deepest part Pm and the top sheet 20 are not adhere | attached with the adhesive agent HMA. . As a result, the risk of the skin-side recess P being fixed by the more rigid top sheet 20 can be reduced, so that the skin-side recess P can be maintained as a deformable portion. It bends toward the non-skin side, it becomes easy to maintain the deepest part 15m (high-density area | region DH) between skin side recessed parts P in planar shape, and a wearer's skin contact can be improved.

  Furthermore, as shown to FIG. 8A etc., the skin side site | part H protrudes to the skin side, and the skin side surface 10t of the high-density area | region DH is located in the skin side rather than the skin side surface 10t of the outer side site | part L. Accordingly, on the skin surface side of the napkin 1, a portion corresponding to the skin side portion H protrudes to the skin side. This allows the wearer not only to know that the napkin is easy to fit into the excretion port by protruding to the skin side, because the wearer can recognize the presence of the recess 15 by appearance and touch before use. When the wearer intends to wear the napkin 1, the wearer 15 can easily match the center position of the underwear and the center position of the napkin by the recess 15 provided in the center region in the width direction of the napkin 1 (absorber 10).

  Further, when the back sheet 30 is laminated on the absorbent body 10, in order to apply pressure in the thickness direction, as shown in FIG. 8A and FIG. 9A, the width direction of the recess 15 of the napkin 1 before use is shown. The end 15e is bonded to the back sheet 30. That is, a part of the back sheet 30 is drawn toward the recess 15, the end 15 e of the recess 15 is bonded to the back sheet 30, and the adhesive HMA is present inside the end 15 e in the width direction. However, the deepest portion 15m and the back sheet 30 are not bonded. If this napkin 1 is used, it will bend so that the recessed part 15 may protrude to the skin side, as shown to FIG. 9B (refer the state C of FIG. 7). In this way, when the napkin 1 is bent, not only the absorbent body 10 but also a part of the back sheet 30 is bent together so as to rise to the skin side. Therefore, the area where the back sheet 30 and the absorbent body 10 are in contact with each other increases, and the inner portion 15i inside the end portion 15e that is not bonded to the back sheet 30 is newly bonded to maintain the bent shape during use. Easy to do.

=== Other Embodiments ===
As mentioned above, although embodiment of this invention was described, said embodiment is for making an understanding of this invention easy, and is not for limiting and interpreting this invention. Further, the present invention can be changed or improved without departing from the gist thereof, and needless to say, the present invention includes equivalents thereof. For example, the following modifications are possible.

  In the above-mentioned embodiment, although the recessed part 15 was formed over the full length of the longitudinal direction of the absorber 10, it is not restricted to this. At least during wearing, the crotch part in the crotch region corresponding to the crotch of the wearer is provided with a recess 15 so that the crotch part in the central region in the width direction of the napkin 1 can easily protrude toward the skin side. The absorbent body 10 (napkin 1) can be fitted to the mouth. However, like the napkin 1, the absorbent body 10 can be more easily protruded to the skin side by being formed over the entire length of the absorbent body 10.

  Moreover, the skin side recessed part P does not need to be provided over the full length of the longitudinal direction of the absorber 10. FIG. At least at the time of wearing, the region between the pair of skin side recesses P can be maintained in a state closer to a flat surface by providing the skin side recesses P in the crotch region corresponding to the wearer's crotch. The skin contact to the wearer can be improved while improving the fit to the excretion opening. In addition, in the back of the napkin 1, the area | region which provides the recessed part 15 and the skin side recessed part P according to a wearing condition, such as changing the shape of the absorber 10 gently according to the shape of a wearer's buttocks is desired. Can be appropriately changed.

  In the above-described embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6, the rib portion 51r of the upper roll 51u is pushed into the groove portion 51m of the lower roll 51d so that the top surface 51rt contacts and the absorber 10 has the smallest thickness. However, it is not limited to this. FIG. 11 is a modification of the pair of roll portions 50. As shown in FIG. 11, the clearance between the rib portion 51r of the upper roll 51u and the groove portion 51m of the lower roll 51d is changed so that the slope of the rib portion 51r and the slope of the groove portion 51m are not the part where the top surface 51rt abuts. You may make the thickness of the absorber 10 of the pinched | interposed area | region thinnest. Thereby, since the possibility that the part which contact | abuts a wearer's skin at the time of wear may be strongly squeezed and hardened can be reduced, the touch can be improved.

  In the above-described embodiment, the pair of skin-side recesses P overlaps the recesses 15 in the width direction, but the present invention is not limited to this. Each skin-side recess P may be provided on the outer side in the width direction from the recess 15, and either one of the skin-side recess P or at least a part of the skin-side recess P overlaps the recess 15 in the width direction. It may be. However, since each skin side recessed part P overlaps with the recessed part 15 in the width direction, it becomes easy to make the area | region between skin side recessed parts P into a plane along the width direction, and can improve the touch.

  Moreover, although the deepest part 15m was provided in the center part between the end of one side of the skin side recessed part P of one side, and the other side end of the skin side recessed part P of the other side, it is not restricted to this. Between each skin side recessed part P, you may provide the deepest part 15m in the position which approached any one of the width direction. However, by providing the deepest portion 15m at the center between one end of the skin-side recess P on one side and the other end of the skin-side recess P on the other side, the wearer can It becomes easy to absorb excrement in the part.

  Furthermore, although the adhesive HMA is not attached to the deepest portion 15m of the recess 15 of the napkin 1 and the deepest portion 15m and the back sheet 30 are not bonded, this is not restrictive. The adhesive HMA may be adhered to the deepest part 15m, or the deepest part 15m and the back sheet 30 may be adhered. Thereby, the possibility of excessively projecting to the skin side can be reduced, and the touch that comes into contact with the excretion opening of the wearer can be adjusted.

  Similarly, the adhesive HMA is not attached to the deepest portion Pm of the skin-side concave portion P of the napkin 1, and the deepest portion Pm and the top sheet 30 are not bonded, but this is not restrictive. The adhesive HMA may be adhered to the deepest part Pm, or the deepest part Pm and the top sheet 20 may be adhered.

  In the above-mentioned embodiment, although the skin side site | part H protruded to the skin side, it is not restricted to this. In the state before wearing, the skin side surface 10t of the skin side portion H may be recessed toward the non-skin side than the skin side surface 10t of the outer side portion L. Even in this case, the absorbent body 10 can be protruded to the skin side in the recess 15 to fit the excretion opening of the wearer.
