(Prior Art) Conventionally, in order to obtain a nonwoven fabric that is flexible and feels good on the skin as a surface sheet for sanitary articles, it has been proposed to use fine denier fibers as the fibers constituting at least the surface layer of the nonwoven fabric (for example, , Japanese Patent Publication No. 57-56562).

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) Fine denier fibers are inferior in spinning stability and carding properties, and as materials for nonwoven fabrics produced at high speed, fibers with a denier of at most 1 denier are the limit. Therefore, the surface sheet made of fibers containing fibers of 1 denier or less has not been put to practical use, and is not satisfactory in terms of feel and the like.

The splittable composite fiber can be split into fibers of 1 denier or less, and therefore,
By using this fiber, the above problems can be solved. However, there are problems in processing and dividing the splittable composite fibers using only a carding machine to obtain the desired fine denier fibers. That is, if the splittability of the splittable conjugate fibers in a carding machine is improved, the fibers split in the middle of the card and made into fine denier fibers exhibit the behavior of fine denier fibers, and the card passing property becomes poor. On the other hand, if the card passing property is improved, the splitting property of the fiber becomes worse, and there is a problem in that the advantages of using the splittable conjugate fiber cannot be utilized. Therefore, in the method of the present invention, a web is formed using so-called staple fibers, which are splittable conjugate fibers cut to a predetermined length. A web can be formed by opening the fibers so that they are not split as much as possible, and a high-speed columnar water stream is injected onto the web to split the unsplit staple fibers into fine denier pieces, and at the same time entangle the staple fibers. The object of the present invention is to obtain the above-mentioned top sheet which can be given a sheet-like form.

When carrying out the method of the present invention, so-called staple fibers, which are splittable conjugate fibers cut to a predetermined length, for example, 15 to 80 mm, are used. Splitable conjugate fibers herein refer to two types of thermoplastic polymer components that have poor adhesion to each other, such as polyester-polypropylene, polyester-nylon, etc., when composite fibers are spun and drawn, and furthermore, they are made of two thermoplastic polymer components that have poor adhesion to each other, such as polyester-polypropylene, polyester-nylon, etc. Or, it refers to something that can be relatively easily divided by physical force such as heat shrinkage. The cross section of the single fiber 1 of the splittable composite fiber is, for example, as shown in FIGS. 1A and B.
As shown in the figure, it consists of thermoplastic polymer components 1a and 1b, but is not limited to the illustrated example. Such splittable composite fibers are disclosed in, for example, Japanese Patent Publication No. 39-29636,
It can be obtained by the manufacturing method disclosed in JP-A-50-5650, and it is suggested that fine denier fibrillar fibers can be easily formed by splitting. The denier range of single fiber 1 before splitting is 1 to 5 denier, and the denier of fibrillar fibers formed by split fibrillation is 0.7 denier or less, which is the number ratio.
It is preferably 50% or more. If the denier before division is less than 1 denier, when using a card machine to form the web, there will be difficulty in passing the card.
If it is 5 denier or more, the fiber arrangement of the high-pressure water jet will be disturbed, making it impossible to obtain a uniform nonwoven fabric with a uniform texture. Such splittable composite fibers are a mixture of partially split fibrillated staple fibers and unsplit staple fibers, and because they are processed by the method of the present invention, they have a basis weight of 7 to 100 g/ Formed into a web of m2 . The formation of the web is not limited to a carded web, and may be formed by any method such as a random web or a blow-spreading method, but preferably a carded web.

After obtaining a web 2 made of such staple fibers, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the web is guided onto a support 3, and a high-speed water stream 5 is applied to the web from a number of minute orifices provided in a nozzle means 4. Inject against 2. If the injection back pressure at this time is 20 kg/cm 2 or more, it will reach enough energy to split the undivided staple fibers, but at the same time, it will promote intertwining of the staple fibers and create a nonwoven fabric with the required strength. in order to get
It is necessary to be 30Kg/cm 2 or more. moreover,
The division and entanglement are sufficient if the injection back pressure is up to 100 Kg/cm 2 , and higher pressures are not efficient. In addition, when high-speed water flow is in the form of a spray, its equilibrium energy decreases significantly, so
Preferably, it is a note. As the support 3,
The high-speed water stream 5 collides with the support 3 to generate a repulsion flow, and the repulsion flow also acts on entangling the staple fibers.The roll has sufficient surface hardness, i.e., 50° or more according to JIS-K6301Hs, preferably. is a roll of 70° or more. This support roll 3 may be perforated or non-perforated, but if it is perforated, it has a non-perforated flat part between the perforated parts that can generate a counterflow as described above. It is necessary to be present. Further, if necessary, a plurality of support rolls 3 or a combination of these and other suitable supports may be arranged at predetermined intervals to perform multi-stage treatment using high-speed columnar water.
