JP 2012-120792 A

  The pair of compressed grooves such as the embossing in Patent Document 1 is symmetrical with respect to the longitudinal center line of the absorbent body (absorbing element) from the viewpoint of improving the absorption performance. Is formed. And regardless of whether the consumer is conscious or not, at the time of wearing, the position (including symmetry) of the pair of compressed grooves is mainly confirmed by any one of the following methods (1) to (3). doing. That is, (1) in the width direction, the distance between one end edge of the absorbent body and the one pressing groove facing it is compared with the distance between the other end edge of the absorbent body and the other pressing groove facing it. To do. (2) The center position between the pair of compressed grooves in the width direction is compared with the center position of the absorber. (3) In the width direction, the distance between the center position between the pair of pressing grooves and one end edge of the absorber, and the distance between the center position between the pair of pressing grooves and the other end edge of the absorber. Compare

  At this time, the position in the width direction of the compressed groove in the product may deviate from the position in the width direction of the compressed groove in the design for manufacturing reasons. In that case, the consumer recognizes the positional deviation in the width direction of the squeezing groove mainly by the fact of any of the following (a) to (c), corresponding to the above (1) to (3). That is, (a) a difference is generated between the two distances of (1). (B) Deviation occurs between the two center positions in (2) above. (C) A difference is generated between the two distances of (3) above. As a result, the consumer recognizes that the position in the width direction of the compressed groove is shifted in the absorbent article. Therefore, even if there is no problem in the absorption performance and the product is a non-defective product, the consumer may recognize the absorbent article as a defective product because the position of the pressing groove is different from the original.

  On the other hand, removing the pair of squeezing grooves in order to prevent the product from being recognized as a defective product, that is, to make it difficult to recognize misalignment, tends to cause leakage of excretory fluid to the outside and disorderly deformation. , There is a possibility that the absorption performance and the wearability may be lowered, which is not preferable.

  An object of the present invention is to provide an absorbent article capable of making it difficult for consumers to recognize the positional shift even if the position of the compressed groove is shifted in the width direction without causing a decrease in absorption performance. There is.

The absorbent article of the present invention is as follows.
(1) It has a longitudinal direction, a width direction, and a thickness direction, and includes a top sheet, a back sheet, and an absorbent body disposed between the top sheet and the back sheet, on both sides of the longitudinal center line. An absorbent article including a pair of compressed grooves positioned in each region, wherein the top sheet and the absorber are separated from the pair of compressed grooves toward one of the longitudinal directions in a region where they overlap in the thickness direction. The first squeezing part and the second squeezing part lined up in the width direction at the position, and the pair of squeezing grooves, the first squeezing part, and the second squeezing part are the top sheet. And the absorbent body, the first compressed portion includes a groove forming a first pattern in plan view, and the center of gravity of the first pattern is located on one side with respect to the longitudinal center line The second pressing part is the first pattern in plan view. Includes a groove forming a different second pattern, the center of gravity of the second pattern is located on the other side with respect to the longitudinal center line, and the first pressing portion and the second pressing portion are An absorbent article in which at least one of the relative position and the inclination with respect to the longitudinal center line is different from each other.

In this absorbent article, the 1st pressing part which has the 1st pattern, and the 2nd pressing part which has another 2nd pattern are relative to one side and the other side of a longitudinal direction center line, respectively. At least one of various positions, inclinations, and sizes is arranged differently.
Such 1st pressing part and 2nd pressing part are not line-symmetric with respect to a longitudinal direction center line in the shape of the pattern, a relative position, or an inclination, but the width direction of an absorber, respectively. The distance from one edge and the other edge is not equal. Therefore, consumers who have seen these first and second compressed parts are conscious of the relationship between them and the longitudinal centerline and one edge and the other edge in the width direction of the absorbent body. Disappear. Therefore, in the width direction, even if the distance between the one end edge of the absorbent body and the first compressed portion is not equal to the distance between the other end edge of the absorbent body and the second compressed portion, it is recognized as a positional deviation. It becomes difficult to be done. Even if the center position between the 1st pressing part and the 2nd pressing part and the position of the center position of an absorber have shifted, it will become difficult to recognize position shift. The distance between the center position between the first pressing part and the second pressing part and one edge of the absorber, the center position between the first pressing part and the second pressing part, and the other of the absorber Even if the distance to the edge is not equal, it is difficult to recognize the positional deviation.
The visual effect of such a 1st pressing part and a 2nd pressing part extends to a pair of pressing grooves adjacent to a 1st pressing part and a 2nd pressing part in a longitudinal direction, and the pair of pressing part Even if the positional deviation in the width direction occurs in the groove, it is difficult for the consumer to recognize the positional deviation. That is, it is possible to make it difficult for the consumer to recognize the displacement in the width direction between the pair of compressed grooves.
At this time, since the 1st pressing part and the 2nd pressing part join a surface sheet and an absorber and are extended from the surface of a surface sheet to the inside of an absorber, excretion can be guided inside an absorber. , The movement of the excretory fluid in the longitudinal direction can be suppressed. On the other hand, the pair of squeezing grooves join the topsheet and the absorbent body without being removed, and extend from the surface of the topsheet to the inside of the absorbent body. The movement to the outside in the width direction can be suppressed. The absorption performance of an absorbent article can be maintained and improved by the synergistic effect of these 1st pressing parts and 2nd pressing parts, and a pair of pressing groove.
Therefore, in this absorbent article, it is possible to make it difficult for the consumer to consider the absorbent body to be defective while maintaining the absorption performance, and not to impair the quality of the absorbent article.

In the absorbent article of the present invention, (2) the size in the width direction in each of the first pressing portion and the second pressing portion is 1/10 or more of the width direction size of the absorbent body, The absorbent article according to (1) above, which is 3/4 or less.
In the present absorbent article, since the size in the width direction of each compressed portion has a size within the above predetermined range, the consumer has a relationship between each compressed portion and the longitudinal center line or the edge of the absorbent body. It can be made not to be conscious of. Thereby, since it is difficult to recognize the positional deviation of the first and second pressing parts, it is possible to make it difficult for the consumer to recognize the positional deviation in the width direction of the pair of compressed grooves due to its visual effect. However, if the size of the compressed portion in the width direction is smaller than the predetermined range, it may not affect the consumer's consciousness, and if it is larger, the position shift of the compressed portion becomes conspicuous, which is not preferable. .

In the absorbent article of the present invention, (3) the size in one width direction of the first pressing portion and the second pressing portion is 25% or more and 400% of the size in the other width direction. The absorbent article according to (1) or (2) above may be used.
In this absorbent article, since the relationship of the magnitude | size of the width direction between a 1st pressing part and a 2nd pressing part has the said predetermined range, a consumer is each pressing part and a longitudinal direction center. It can be made not to be conscious of the relation with the line and the edge of the absorber. Thereby, since it is difficult to recognize the positional deviation of the first and second pressing parts, it is possible to make it difficult for the consumer to recognize the positional deviation in the width direction of the pair of compressed grooves due to its visual effect. However, if the relative relationship of the size in the width direction between the two compressed parts is smaller than the predetermined range, the consumer's consciousness cannot be affected, and if it is larger, the positional deviation of the compressed parts becomes conspicuous. This is not preferable.

The absorbent article of this invention is (4) 1st angle which the 1st reference line along the said width direction of the said 1st pressing part and the said longitudinal direction center line comprise, and said 2nd pressing The second angle formed by the second reference line along the width direction of the portion and the center line in the longitudinal direction is 30 ° or more and 150 ° or less, and any one of (1) to (3) above The absorbent article described in 1. above.
In the present absorbent article, since the first angle and the second angle each have the predetermined range, the consumer can determine the relationship between each compressed portion and the longitudinal center line or the edge of the absorbent body. It can be made not to be conscious. Thereby, since it is difficult to recognize the positional deviation of the first and second pressing parts, it is possible to make it difficult for the consumer to recognize the positional deviation in the width direction of the pair of compressed grooves due to its visual effect. However, even if the size of the first and second angles of the squeezing part is smaller or larger than the predetermined range, the first and second squeezing parts have a shape along the longitudinal direction, and the squeezing part is displaced. Becomes noticeable and is not preferable.

The absorbent article according to the present invention is (5) the absorbent article according to (4), wherein an angle difference between the first angle and the second angle is not less than 0 ° and not more than 40 °. May be.
In this absorbent article, since the angle difference between the first angle and the second angle has the above-mentioned predetermined range, the consumer can connect each compressed portion with the longitudinal center line and the edge of the absorbent body. You can make them unaware of relationships. Thereby, since it is difficult to recognize the positional deviation of the first and second pressing parts, it is possible to make it difficult for the consumer to recognize the positional deviation in the width direction of the pair of compressed grooves due to its visual effect. However, even if the angle difference between the first angle and the second angle of the squeezing part is smaller or larger than the above predetermined range, the consumer's consciousness on one side or the other side of the longitudinal center line becomes too much. Thus, there is a risk of being recognized as a positional deviation even if no positional deviation has occurred. In addition, uneven deformation occurs at the time of wearing, the absorption performance is lowered, and the wearer may feel uncomfortable.

The absorbent article of the present invention is (6) any one of the above (1) to (5), wherein at least one of the first squeezing part and the second squeezing part comprises a plurality of squeezing parts. The absorbent article described in the item may be used.
In this absorptive article, when at least one of the 1st pressing part and the 2nd pressing part is plurality, a consumer's consciousness can be made to turn to the plurality of pressing parts, and a consumer is each pressing part. And the relationship between the longitudinal center line and the edge of the absorber can be made less conscious. Due to the visual effect, it is possible to make it difficult for the consumer to recognize the positional deviation in the width direction of the pair of compressed grooves.

In the absorbent article of the present invention, (7) in the region where the topsheet and the absorbent body overlap in the thickness direction, the width direction is located away from the pair of compressed grooves toward the other in the longitudinal direction. 3rd pressing part and 4th pressing part which were located in a line along the line, the 3rd pressing part and the 4th pressing part join the top sheet and the absorber, and the above-mentioned 3 squeezing part includes a groove forming a third pattern in plan view, the center of gravity of the third pattern is located on one side with respect to the longitudinal center line, and one edge of the absorber The fourth pressing part includes a groove that forms a fourth pattern different from the third pattern in plan view, and the center of gravity of the fourth pattern is at the longitudinal center line. The third pressure is located on the other side and faces the other edge of the absorber. The absorbent article according to any one of (1) to (6), wherein the portion and the fourth compressed portion are different from each other in at least one of a relative position and an inclination with respect to the longitudinal center line. It may be.
In this absorbent article, since the pressing part is provided not only on one side in the longitudinal direction of the pair of pressing grooves, but also on the other side, the first and second pressing parts and the third and fourth consciousness of the consumer. Therefore, the consumer can be made more conscious of the relationship between each compressed portion and the longitudinal center line or the edge of the absorbent body. Thereby, it is possible to make it difficult to recognize the positional deviation of the first and second pressing parts and the positional deviation of the third and fourth pressing parts, and due to the visual effect thereof, in the width direction of the pair of pressing grooves. It is possible to make it difficult for consumers to recognize misalignment.

The absorbent article of the present invention is (8) a first angle formed by the first squeezing part and the second squeezing part of the one outer squeezing part and the longitudinal center line, and a first squeezing part.

In the present absorbent article, the first angle and the second angle, and the third angle and the fourth angle are different from each other. The arrangement state of the parts can be made different from each other. Therefore, the arrangement | positioning state of a 1st pressing part-the 4th pressing part becomes more uneven as a whole, and a consumer is not more conscious of the relationship between each pressing part, a longitudinal direction centerline, the edge of an absorber, etc. It can be made to. Thereby, since it is difficult to recognize the positional deviation of the first pressing part to the fourth pressing part, it is difficult for the consumer to recognize the positional deviation in the width direction of the pair of compressed grooves by the visual effect. Can do.

The absorbent article of the present invention is (9) the absorbent article according to (8), wherein the first angle, the second angle, the third angle, and the fourth angle are different from each other. It may be.
In the present absorbent article, since the first angle to the fourth angle are different from each other, the arrangement state of the compressed portions on both sides in the longitudinal direction can be made different from each other with respect to the pair of compressed grooves. And the arrangement | positioning state of the pressing part located in a line in the width direction can be made different from each other. Therefore, the arrangement | positioning state of a 1st pressing part-the 4th pressing part becomes more uneven as a whole, and a consumer is not more conscious of the relationship between each pressing part, a longitudinal direction centerline, the edge of an absorber, etc. It can be made to. Thereby, it is possible to make it harder to recognize any positional deviation between the first pressing part to the fourth pressing part, and to make it difficult for consumers to recognize the positional deviation in the width direction of the pair of compressed grooves due to its visual effect. Can do.

The absorbent article of this invention is (10) the said width direction magnitude | size of the said 1st pressing part, the said width direction magnitude | size of the said 2nd pressing part, and the said width direction of the said 3rd pressing part. The absorbent article according to any one of (7) to (9), wherein the size and the size in the width direction of the fourth pressing portion are different from each other.
In this absorptive article, since the size of the width direction in the 1st pressing part-the 4th pressing part mutually differs, the arrangement state of the pressing part of the both sides of a longitudinal direction to a pair of pressing grooves mutually It can be made different, and the arrangement state of the pressing parts arranged in the width direction can be made different from each other. Therefore, the arrangement | positioning state of a 1st pressing part-the 4th pressing part becomes more uneven as a whole, and a consumer is not more conscious of the relationship between each pressing part, a longitudinal direction centerline, the edge of an absorber, etc. It can be made to. Thereby, it is possible to make it harder to recognize any positional deviation between the first pressing part to the fourth pressing part, and to make it difficult for consumers to recognize the positional deviation in the width direction of the pair of compressed grooves due to its visual effect. Can do.

Absorbent article.
In this absorbent article, the virtual hexagon which connects the 1st pressing part and the 2nd pressing part, the both ends edge of the width direction of an absorber, and the 3rd pressing part and the 4th pressing part is formed. Is done. In such a case, consumers are aware of this hexagon and use it as a reference to grasp the positional relationship of the products. Here, since this hexagon is not line symmetric with respect to the longitudinal center line, the reference is ambiguous, so even if the position of the pair of compressed grooves is actually shifted in the width direction, It is possible to make it difficult to recognize misalignment. In addition, the movement of the excretory liquid in the longitudinal direction is more effectively dammed with the first and second compressed parts and the third and fourth compressed parts in a predetermined arrangement state. Can be stopped. Thereby, the spreading | diffusion of the excretion liquid in the longitudinal direction is suppressed, leakage is reduced, and thereby the absorption performance can be improved.

The absorbent article of the present invention is (12) a convex curved region having outer edges curved on both sides in the width direction of the absorbent body, and an outer side in the width direction.

In the example shown in FIG. 4A, the pattern of the first pressing portion 21 (left side) is a large ribbon shape, and the pattern of the second pressing portion 22 (right side) is a small ribbon shape. That is, the 1st pressing part 21 has the shape of the ribbon by the groove | channel 21M, and has the magnitude | size which fits in the minimum rectangle R21 of length TU21 x width WU21. On the other hand, the 2nd pressing part 22 has the shape of the ribbon by the groove | channel 22M, and has the magnitude | size which fits in the minimum rectangle R22 of length TU22x width WU22. In the example shown in FIG. 4B, the pattern of the third pressing part 23 (left side) is a large butterfly shape (however, upside down), and the pattern of the fourth pressing part (right side) is a small butterfly. It is the form. That is, the third pressing part 23 has a butterfly shape by the groove 23M, and has a shape that fits in a minimum rectangle R23 of vertical TU23 × horizontal WU23. On the other hand, the 4th pressing part 24 has the shape of the ribbon by the groove | channel 24M, and has a magnitude | size which fits in the minimum rectangle R24 of length TU24x width WU24.

  Further, in the example shown in FIG. 4A, the center of gravity of the first pressing part 21 is G21, located on one side (left side) with respect to the longitudinal center line CL, and the center of gravity of the second pressing part 22 Is G22 and is located on the other side (right side) with respect to the longitudinal center line CL. That is, the 1st pressing part 21 and the 2nd pressing part 22 are arrange | positioned so that each gravity center G21 and G22 may be divided into both sides on both sides of the longitudinal direction center line CL. In the example shown in FIG. 4B, the center of gravity of the third pressing portion 23 is G23, and is located on one side (left side) with respect to the longitudinal center line CL, and the center of gravity of the fourth pressing portion 24. Is G24, and is located on the other side (right side) with respect to the longitudinal center line CL. That is, the 3rd pressing part 23 and the 4th pressing part 24 are arrange | positioned so that each gravity center G23 and G24 may be divided into both sides on both sides of the longitudinal direction center line CL.

  Moreover, in the example shown to Fig.4 (a), when the relative position of the 1st pressing part 21 makes the perpendicular to the distance X21 of the width direction W with respect to the longitudinal direction centerline CL, and the longitudinal direction centerline CL The position (X21, Y21) specified by the position Y21 of the second squeezed portion 22 is relative to the distance X22 in the width direction W with respect to the longitudinal centerline CL and the longitudinal centerline CL. It is a position (X22, Y22) specified by the position Y22 when the perpendicular is drawn. In the example shown in FIG. 4B, the relative position of the third pressing portion 23 is a distance X23 in the width direction W with respect to the longitudinal center line CL and a perpendicular to the longitudinal center line CL. The position (X23, Y23) specified by the position Y23 of the second and the relative position of the fourth squeezing part 24 is the distance X24 in the width direction W with respect to the longitudinal centerline CL and the longitudinal centerline CL. It is a position (X24, Y24) specified by the position Y24 when the perpendicular is drawn.

  In the example shown in FIG. 3, the relative inclination of the first pressing portion 21 is parallel to the first base line BL21 and the center of gravity, with the lower side of the rectangle in the longitudinal direction L being the first base line BL21. A first centroid line GL21 (first reference line) passing through G21 is a first angle α1 formed with the longitudinal center line CL. The relative inclination of the second squeezing part 22 is the second center of gravity line GL22 that is parallel to the second base line BL22 and passes through the center of gravity G22, with the lower side of the rectangle in the longitudinal direction L being the second base line BL22. The (second reference line) is a second angle β1 formed with the longitudinal center line CL. Moreover, the relative inclination of the 3rd pressing part 23 is the 3rd gravity center which passes along the gravity center G23 in parallel with the 3rd baseline BL23, and makes the one side below the rectangle in the longitudinal direction L the 3rd baseline BL23. The line GL23 (third reference line) is a third angle α2 formed with the longitudinal center line CL. The relative inclination of the fourth squeezing portion 24 is defined as a fourth centroid line GL24 parallel to the fourth base line BL24 and passing through the centroid G24, with the lower side of the rectangle in the longitudinal direction L being the fourth base line BL24. The (fourth reference line) is a fourth angle β2 formed with the longitudinal center line CL.

  In the present embodiment, in the example shown in FIGS. 1, 3 and 4, the first pressing portion 21 and the second pressing portion 22 have the same shape as a ribbon. However, since TU21 ≠ TU22 and WU21 ≠ WU22 and the sizes are different (first pressing unit 21> second pressing unit 22), it is a different pattern. That is, the first pressing unit 21 and the second pressing unit 22 have different patterns. Moreover, it is a relative position (X21, Y21) of the 1st pressing part 21, and a relative position (X22, Y22) of the 2nd pressing part 22. FIG. And X21 ≠ X22 and Y21 ≠ Y22, and the first pressing portion 21 and the second pressing portion 22 are arranged so that their relative positions with respect to the longitudinal center line CL are different from each other. Moreover, in relative inclination (alpha) 1 of the 1st pressing part 21, and relative inclination (beta) 1 of the 2nd pressing part 22, it is (alpha) 1 ≠ beta1, and the 1st pressing part 21 and the 2nd pressing part 22 are The relative inclinations with respect to the longitudinal center line CL are different from each other.

  Thus, in this Embodiment, the 1st pressing part 21 and the 2nd pressing part 22 differ in a pattern, and the relative position and inclination with respect to the longitudinal direction centerline CL differ. . Thus, since a difference exists between the 1st pressing part 21 and the 2nd pressing part 22, the absorbent article 1 of this Embodiment can show | play the effect shown below.

  5A and 5B are diagrams for explaining the function and effect of the absorbent article. FIG. 5A shows a case where the compressed groove is not displaced, and FIG. 5B shows a case where the compressed groove is displaced. (C) shows the case where there is a position shift of a pressing groove and there is no 1st-4th pressing part, respectively.

  As shown to Fig.5 (a), the 1st pressing part 21 and the 2nd pressing part 22 are line symmetrical with respect to the longitudinal direction centerline CL in the shape of the pattern, a relative position, or inclination. is not. In addition, the distance between one edge 3a in the width direction W of the absorbent body 3 and the first compressed portion 21 (the end of the pattern) and the other edge 3b in the width direction W of the absorbent body 3 Also, the distance from the second pressing portion 22 (the end of the pattern) is not equal. Therefore, the consumer who saw these 1st pressing parts 21 and the 2nd pressing parts 22 and one end edge 3a of the width direction W of the absorber 3 and the width direction W of the absorber 3, and the other end edge It becomes unaware of the relationship with 3b, especially whether it is line symmetric. Therefore, as shown in FIG.5 (b), in the width direction W, the distance of one edge 3a of the absorber 3 and the 1st pressing part 21, the other edge 3b of the absorber 3, and 2nd Even if the distance of the squeezing part 22 is not equal, it will be difficult to recognize a positional shift. Furthermore, even if the center position between the 1st pressing part 21 and the 2nd pressing part 22 and the position of the center position of the absorber 3 have shifted | deviated, it becomes difficult to recognize as a position shift. In addition, the distance between the center position between the first squeezing part 21 and the second squeezing part 22 and the one edge 3a of the absorbent body 3, and the first squeezing part 21 and the second squeezing part 22 Even if the distance between the center position and the other end edge 3b of the absorber 3 is not equal, it is difficult to recognize the displacement. The visual effect of such a 1st pressing part 21 and the 2nd pressing part 22 is the 1st pressing part 21 and the 2nd pressing part 22, and a pair of pressing groove 11a, 11b adjacent to the longitudinal direction L. It extends to. That is, for example, when FIG. 5B and FIG. 5C are compared, the example of FIG. 5B in which the first pressing portion 21 and the second pressing portion 22 are provided is the first. It is also clear from the fact that the positional deviation in the width direction W is difficult to understand at a glance than the example of FIG. 5C in which the first pressing portion 21 and the second pressing portion 22 are not provided. That is, even if a positional deviation in the width direction W occurs in the pair of pressing grooves 11a and 11b adjacent to the first pressing part 21 and the second pressing part 22 in the longitudinal direction L, the consumer recognizes the positional deviation. It becomes difficult. That is, it is possible to make it difficult for consumers to recognize the positional deviation in the width direction W between the pair of compressed grooves 11a and 11b.

  At this time, the 1st pressing part 21 and the 2nd pressing part 22 are pressing parts formed by pressing the surface sheet 4 and the absorber 3 from the surface sheet 4 side, and are absorbed from the surface of the surface sheet 4. Since it extends to the inside of the body 3, the excretory liquid can be guided to the inside of the absorber 3, and the excretion liquid can be prevented from moving outward from the excretion opening contact area STA in the longitudinal direction L. Similarly, a pair of pressing grooves 11a and 11b are pressing grooves formed by pressing the topsheet 4 and the absorbent body 3 from the topsheet 4 side, and from the surface of the topsheet to the inside of the absorbent body. Since it extends, excretion can be guided to the inside of absorber 3, and it can control that excretion moves to the outside of width direction W from excretion mouth contact area STA. These synergistic effects can maintain and improve the absorbent performance of the absorbent article 1.

  As described above, in the present absorbent article, it is possible for the consumer to make it difficult for the consumer to consider the absorbent body 3 to be defective while maintaining the absorption performance, and not to impair the quality of the absorbent article 1.

  Moreover, in this Embodiment, as a preferable form, a compression part, ie, 3rd, is further provided not only on one side (front side) of the longitudinal direction L of a pair of pressing grooves 11a and 11b but on the other side (rear side). A pressing unit 23 and a fourth pressing unit 24 are provided. In the example shown in FIGS. 1, 3, and 4, the third pressing unit 23 and the fourth pressing unit 24 have the same butterfly shape. However, TU23 ≠ TU24 and lateral WU23 ≠ WU24, and the sizes are different (third pressing unit 23> fourth pressing unit 24). So it is another pattern. That is, the pattern of the 3rd pressing part 23 and the pattern of the 4th pressing part 24 are different. Moreover, it is the relative position (X23, Y23) of the 3rd pressing part 23, and the relative position (X24, Y24) of the 4th pressing part 24. FIG. X23 ≠ X24 and Y23 ≠ Y24, and the third pressing portion 23 and the fourth pressing portion 24 are arranged so that the relative positions with respect to the longitudinal center line CL are different from each other. Moreover, in relative inclination (alpha) 2 of the 3rd pressing part 23, and relative inclination (beta) 2 of the 4th pressing part 24, it is (alpha) 2 ≠ beta2, and the 3rd pressing part 23 and the 4th pressing part 24 are The relative inclinations with respect to the longitudinal center line CL are different from each other.

  In this case, the consumer's consciousness can be directed not only to the first and second pressing parts 21 and 22 but also to the third and fourth pressing parts 23 and 24. At that time, the third squeezing part 23 and the fourth squeezing part 24 are different in relative position and inclination with respect to the longitudinal center line CL. Therefore, consumers who have seen the third squeezing part 23 and the fourth squeezing part 24, one end edge 3a and the other end edge in the longitudinal direction center line CL and the width direction W of the absorber 3 It becomes unaware of the relationship with 3b, especially whether it is line symmetric. That is, it is possible to make the consumer less aware of the relationship between the compressed parts 23 and 24 and the longitudinal center line CL or the edge of the absorbent body 3. Thereby, it is more difficult to recognize the positional deviation of the first and second pressing parts 21 and 22 and the positional deviation of the third and fourth pressing parts 23 and 24. It is possible to make it difficult for the consumer to recognize the displacement in the width direction W of the compressed grooves 11a and 11b. In addition, in this Embodiment, although the relative position and inclination with respect to the longitudinal direction center line CL differ between the 3rd pressing part 23 and the 4th pressing part 24, longitudinal direction center line CL If any one of the relative position and inclination with respect to is different, the above effect can be obtained.

In addition, in this Embodiment, although both the relative position and inclination with respect to the longitudinal direction center line CL differ between the 1st pressing part 21 and the 2nd pressing part 22, it is relative with respect to the longitudinal direction center line CL. If any one of the different positions and inclinations is different, the above effect can be obtained. The same applies to the third pressing unit 23 and the fourth pressing unit 24.
Moreover, in this Embodiment, although the 1st pressing part 21 and the 2nd pressing part 22 are figures similar to each other, both may be completely different figures. The same applies to the third pressing unit 23 and the fourth pressing unit 24. Moreover, the 1st pressing part 21, the 2nd pressing part 22, the 3rd pressing part 23, and the 4th pressing part 24 may mutually be similar figures.

  Moreover, as a preferable aspect in this Embodiment, the magnitude | sizes Wx21 and Wx22 (refer FIG. 4A) of the width direction W in each of the 1st pressing part 21 and the 2nd pressing part 22 are the absorber 3's. It is set to 1/10 or more and 3/4 or less of the size d0 (see FIG. 3) in the width direction W. More preferably, Wx21 and Wx22 are 1/5 or more and 3/5 or less of d0. In the example of FIG. 3, Wx21 and Wx22 are 1/2 and 1/4 of d0, respectively. Also in this case, it is possible to make it difficult to recognize the displacement of the first and second pressing portions 21 and 22, so that the visual effect causes the displacement in the width direction W of the pair of compressed grooves 11 a and 11 b to be consumed by the consumer. It can be more difficult to recognize. However, if the size Wx21, Wx22 in the width direction W of the first and second pressing parts 21, 22 is smaller than the predetermined range, the consumer's consciousness cannot be affected. Since the position shift becomes conspicuous, neither is preferable.

  Furthermore, as a preferable aspect in the present embodiment, the sizes Wx23 and Wx24 (see FIG. 4B) in the width direction W in each of the third pressing portion 23 and the fourth pressing portion 24 are the width of the absorber 3. It is set to 1/10 or more and 3/4 or less of the magnitude d0 (see FIG. 3) in the direction W. More preferably, Wx21 and Wx22 are 1/5 or more and 3/5 or less of d0. In the example of FIG. 3, Wx23 and Wx24 are 2/5 and 3/10 of d0, respectively. Thereby, it is possible to make it more difficult for the consumer to recognize the displacement in the width direction W of the pair of compressed grooves 11a and 11b.

  Moreover, as a preferable aspect in this Embodiment, the magnitude | size Wx21 or Wx22 (refer FIG. 4A) of one width direction W in the 1st pressing part 21 and the 2nd pressing part 22 is the other width direction. The size of W is set to 25% or more and 400% or less of Wx22 or Wx21 (see FIG. 4A). For example, the size Wx21 in the width direction W of the first pressing portion 21 is set to 25% or more and 400% or less of the size Wx22 in the width direction W of the second pressing portion 22. More preferably, Wx21 or Wx22 is 50% or more and 200% or less of Wx22 or Wx21. In the example of FIG. 4, Wx21 is 200% of Wx22. Also in this case, it is possible to make it difficult to recognize the displacement of the first and second pressing portions 21 and 22, so that the visual effect causes the displacement in the width direction W of the pair of compressed grooves 11 a and 11 b to be consumed by the consumer. It can be difficult to recognize. However, if the relative relationship of the size in the width direction W between the first and second pressing parts 21 and 22 is smaller than the predetermined range, the consumer's consciousness cannot be affected. Since the position shift of the part becomes conspicuous, it is not preferable.

  Furthermore, as a preferable aspect of the present embodiment, the size Wx23 or Wx24 (see FIG. 4B) of one width direction W in the third pressing portion 23 and the fourth pressing portion 24 is the other width direction W. The size Wx23 or Wx24 (see FIG. 4B) is 25% or more and 400% or less. More preferably, Wx21 or Wx22 is 50% or more and 200% or less of Wx22 or Wx21. In the example of FIG. 4, Wx23 is 133% of Wx24. Thereby, it is possible to make it more difficult for consumers to recognize the positional deviation in the width direction W of the pair of compressed grooves 11a and 11b.

  Moreover, as a preferable aspect in the present embodiment, the first angle formed by the first center of gravity line GL21 (first reference line) and the longitudinal center line CL along the width direction W of the first pressing portion 21. α1 and the second angle β1 formed by the second center of gravity line GL22 (second reference line) along the width direction W of the second pressing portion 22 and the longitudinal center line CL are both 30 °. As mentioned above, it is 150 degrees or less. More preferably, it is 45 ° or more and 135 ° or less, and further preferably 60 ° or more and 90 ° or less. In the example of FIG. 3, α1 is 70 ° and β1 is 70 °. Also in this case, it is possible to make it difficult to recognize the displacement of the first and second pressing portions 21 and 22, so that the visual effect causes the displacement in the width direction W of the pair of compressed grooves 11 a and 11 b to be consumed by the consumer. It can be difficult to recognize. However, even if the first and second angles α1 and β1 are smaller or larger than the predetermined range, the first and second compressed portions 21 and 22 have a shape along the longitudinal direction L, and are compressed. The positional deviation of the part becomes conspicuous, which is not preferable.

  Furthermore, as a preferable aspect in the present embodiment, the third angle α2 formed by the third center of gravity line GL23 (third reference line) along the width direction W of the third pressing portion 23 and the longitudinal center line CL. The fourth angle β2 formed by the fourth center of gravity line GL24 (fourth reference line) and the longitudinal center line CL along the width direction W of the fourth pressing portion 24 is 30 ° or more, 150 ° or less. More preferably, it is 45 ° or more and 135 ° or less, and further preferably 60 ° or more and 90 ° or less. In the example of FIG. 3, α2 is 75 ° and β2 is 65 °. Thereby, it is possible to make it more difficult for the consumer to recognize the displacement in the width direction W of the pair of compressed grooves 11a and 11b.

  As a preferred aspect of the present embodiment, the angle difference between the first angle α1 and the second angle β1 is set to 0 ° or more and 40 ° or less. More preferably, they are 0 degree or more and 30 degrees or less, More preferably, they are 3 degrees or more and 20 degrees or less. In the example of FIG. 3, the angle difference is 0 °. Also in this case, it is possible to make it difficult to recognize the displacement of the first and second pressing portions 21 and 22, so that the visual effect causes the displacement in the width direction W of the pair of compressed grooves 11 a and 11 b to be consumed by the consumer. It can be difficult to recognize. However, even if the angle difference between the first angle α1 and the second angle β1 is smaller or larger than the predetermined range, the consumer's awareness on one side or the other side of the longitudinal center line CL becomes too much. Thus, there is a risk of being recognized as a positional deviation even if no positional deviation has occurred. In addition, uneven deformation occurs at the time of wearing, so that the absorption performance is lowered, and the wearer may feel uncomfortable.

  Further, in the present embodiment, as a more preferable aspect, similarly, the angle difference between the third angle α2 and the fourth angle β2 is set to 0 ° or more and 40 ° or less. More preferably, they are 0 degree or more and 30 degrees or less, More preferably, they are 3 degrees or more and 20 degrees or less. In the example of FIG. 3, the angle difference is 10 °. Thereby, it is possible to make it more difficult for the consumer to recognize the displacement in the width direction W of the pair of compressed grooves 11a and 11b.

  Moreover, as a preferable aspect in the present embodiment, the first angle α1 and the third angle α2 are different, and the second angle β1 and the fourth angle β2 are different. In this case, the arrangement state of the first and second compressed portions 21 and 22 on both sides in the longitudinal direction L with respect to the pair of compressed grooves 11a and 11b, that is, the relative inclination with respect to the longitudinal center line CL is different from each other. Can be. Therefore, the arrangement | positioning state of the 1st pressing part 21-the 4th pressing part 24 becomes more non-uniform as a whole, and a consumer is each pressing part 21, 22, 23, 24, longitudinal direction centerline CL, or absorber 3 It is possible to make the user less aware of the relationship with the edges 3a and 3b. Thereby, since it is difficult to recognize the displacement of the first pressing portion 21 to the fourth pressing portion 24, the positional effect of the pair of pressing grooves 11a and 11b in the width direction W can be reduced by the visual effect. It can be made difficult to recognize.

  In the present embodiment, it is preferable that the first angle α1, the second angle β1, the third angle α2, and the fourth angle β2 are different from each other. In that case, the arrangement state of each pressing part 21, 22, 23, 24 on both sides in the longitudinal direction L with respect to the pair of pressing grooves 11a, 11b can be made different from each other and aligned in the width direction W. However, the arrangement state of the first and second pressing parts 21 and 22 / the arrangement state of the third and fourth pressing parts 23 and 24 can be made different from each other. Therefore, since the arrangement state of the 1st pressing part 21-the 4th pressing part 24 becomes more uneven as a whole, and it can make it difficult to recognize the position shift of the 1st pressing part 21-the 4th pressing part 24, Due to the visual effect, it is possible to make it difficult for the consumer to recognize the displacement in the width direction W of the pair of compressed grooves 11a and 11b.

  Moreover, as a preferable form in this Embodiment, the magnitude | size Wx21 of the width direction W of the 1st pressing part 21, the magnitude | size Wx22 of the width direction W of the 2nd pressing part 22, and the 3rd pressing part 23 The size Wx23 in the width direction W and the size Wx24 in the width direction W of the fourth compressed portion 24 are different from each other. Also in that case, the arrangement state of the first pressing unit 21 to the fourth pressing unit 24 becomes more uneven as a whole, and it is difficult to recognize the displacement of the first pressing unit 21 to the fourth pressing unit 24. Therefore, the visual effect can make it difficult for the consumer to recognize the displacement in the width direction W of the pair of compressed grooves 11a and 11b.

  Moreover, as a preferable form in this Embodiment, the distance of the width direction W between the 1st pressing part 21 and the 2nd pressing part 22 becomes large as it approaches a pair of pressing groove 11a, 11b, The distance of the width direction W between the 3rd pressing part 23 and the 4th pressing part 24 becomes large as it approaches a pair of pressing groove 11a, 11b. In other words, the first squeezing part 21 and the second squeezing part 22 are arranged so as to be further away from each other as they approach the pair of squeezing grooves 11a and 11b, and are therefore substantially viewed from the excretory opening contact area STA. It is arranged in an inverted V shape (substantially C shape). The third squeezing part 23 and the fourth squeezing part 24 are arranged so as to be further away from each other as they approach the pair of squeezing grooves 11a and 11b, and are therefore substantially inverted V-shaped when viewed from the excretory opening contact area STA. It is arranged in a mold (substantially C-shaped). In this case, the first squeezing part 21 and the second squeezing part 22, the both end edges 3a and 3b in the width direction W of the absorber 3, and the imaginary part connecting the third squeezing part 23 and the fourth squeezing part 24 are connected. Hexagons are formed. In such a case, consumers are aware of this hexagon and use it as a reference to grasp the positional relationship of the products. Here, since this hexagon is not line-symmetric with respect to the longitudinal center line CL, the reference for grasping the positional relationship of the product is ambiguous. Therefore, even if the position of the pair of compressed grooves 11a and 11b is actually shifted in the width direction W, it is difficult for the consumer to recognize the position shift. In addition, the movement of the excretion liquid in the longitudinal direction L is performed between the first pressing unit 21 and the second pressing unit 22 in the predetermined arrangement state, and the third pressing unit 23 and the fourth pressing unit 24. It can be dammed more effectively. Thereby, the spreading | diffusion of the excretion liquid of the longitudinal direction L is suppressed, a leak is reduced and it can improve absorption performance by it. That is, in the present absorbent article, it is possible for the consumer to make it difficult for the consumer to consider the absorbent body 3 to be defective while maintaining the absorption performance, and not to impair the quality of the absorbent article 1.

  Moreover, as a preferable form in this Embodiment, as for the absorber 3, the edge 3T1 (3T2) of the longitudinal direction L curved concavely with respect to the outer side of the longitudinal direction L along the substantially width direction W, respectively. It is bordered by a concave curved line, a convex curved line that curves convexly with respect to the outside in the longitudinal direction L, and another concave curved line that curves concavely with respect to the outside in the longitudinal direction L. At this time, each of the edges 3T1 (3T2) has a shape symmetrical with respect to the longitudinal center line CL, with the apex on the outside in the longitudinal direction L of the convex curve line and the longitudinal center line CL matching each other. . However, on the other hand, the edge 3T1 (3T2) of the absorber 3 can be regarded as a substantially wavy curve in which concave shapes, convex shapes, and concave shapes are connected to each other in this order. Therefore, the consumer recognizes the edge 3T1 (3T2) as a continuous shape, and becomes difficult to be aware of the center of the absorbent body 3 in the width direction W. This effect and the effects of the first squeezing part 21 and the second squeezing part 22 described above work synergistically, and the consumer further shifts the displacement of the first squeezing part 21 and the second squeezing part 22. It becomes difficult to recognize. As a result, even if the positions of the pair of compressed grooves 11a and 11b are shifted, it is difficult to recognize the positional shift.

  In addition, as a preferable form in the present embodiment, by design, the edge 3T1 (3T2) in the longitudinal direction L of the absorber 3 is connected to the edge 2T1 (2T2) in the longitudinal direction L of the main body 2a. The distance is not constant along the width direction W. And the shape of the edge part of the longitudinal direction L of the absorber 3 is not mutually similar with the shape of the edge part of the longitudinal direction L of the main-body part 2a. Here, the end in the longitudinal direction L of the main body 2 a is formed by the top sheet 4 and the back sheet 5. Therefore, the distance between the end portion of the absorber 3 and the end portions of the topsheet 4 and the backsheet 5 is not constant, and the shapes of both end portions are not similar to each other. Thereby, even if the top part of the edge part of the longitudinal direction L of the absorber 3 and the top part of the edge part of the longitudinal direction L of the main-body part 2a mutually shifted | deviated to the width direction W (it shifted | deviated seeing from the longitudinal direction L). This makes it difficult to recognize the positional deviation. The effect and the effect of said 1st pressing part 21 and said 2nd pressing part 22 work | function synergistically, and a consumer further shifts the position shift of 1st pressing part 21 and 2nd pressing part 22. It becomes difficult to recognize. As a result, even if the positions of the pair of compressed grooves 11a and 11b are shifted, it is difficult to recognize the positional shift.

  Next, an example of the manufacturing method of the absorbent article 1 will be described. FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram showing the configuration of the manufacturing apparatus 300 for the absorbent article 1. The manufacturing apparatus 300 includes a first forming unit 300A that executes the first forming step, a second forming unit 300B that executes the second forming step, and a third forming unit that executes the third forming step. 300C and 4th formation unit 300D which performs a 4th formation process. The manufacturing method of an absorbent article includes a first formation process to a fourth formation process. In this example, each material is formed and transported such that the width direction W of the absorbent article 1 is the transport direction MD. In that case, since the width | variety of the absorber 3 is relatively short, in the process of forming the 1st pressing part 21-4, the 4th pressing part 24, and a pair of pressing groove 11a, 11b, it is the width direction W, ie, conveyance direction MD. The first pressing portion 21 to the fourth pressing portion 24 and the pair of pressing grooves 11a and 11b are likely to be displaced. Therefore, the configuration of the absorbent article 1 of the present embodiment is extremely effective. However, each material may be formed and conveyed such that the longitudinal direction L of the absorbent article 1 is the conveyance direction MD.

In the first forming step, the rotary drum 111 of the fiber stacking device 110 is rotated, and the fiber material supplied from the material supplier 113 is deposited in the groove communicating with the negative pressure chamber 111N of the pattern plate 112, The laminated fiber AB is formed. Next, when the pattern plate 112 reaches the positive pressure chamber 111P together with the stacked fiber body AB, the stacked fiber body AB is detached from the pattern plate 112. On the other hand, a continuous sheet-like upper tissue sheet UT is supplied from the roll WR1 to the transport belt 115. A hot melt adhesive is applied to one surface of the upper tissue sheet UT by a coating device 301. Then, the fiber stack AB is pressed onto one surface of the upper tissue sheet UT on the transport belt 115. Thereby, the first semi-finished product P1 is formed. The first semi-finished product P1 is sucked by the suction device 116 and is transported by the transport belt 115. Next, a continuous sheet-like lower layer tissue sheet LT is supplied to the conveyance belt 115 from the roll WR2. A hot melt adhesive is applied to one surface of the lower tissue sheet LT by a coating device 302. One surface of the lower tissue sheet LT is pressed against the first semi-finished product P1 on the transport belt 115. Thereby, the second semi-finished product P2 is formed. Next, the second semi-finished product P <b> 2 is pressed by the pressing device 120 and is cut into the shape of the absorber 3 by the cutting device 130. Thereby, the 3rd semi-finished product P3 which is the absorber 3 is formed. The third semi-finished product P3 is delivered to the transport roll 141. In the absorbent body 3 according to the present embodiment, the stacked body is an absorbent core, and the upper and lower tissue sheets are core wraps.
Next, in the second forming step, the continuous sheet-like surface sheet TS is supplied from the roll WR3 to the transport belt 140. A hot melt adhesive is applied to one surface of the top sheet TS by a coating device 303. The third semi-finished product P3 supplied from the transport roll 141 is pressed against one surface of the top sheet TS. Thereby, the fourth semi-finished product P4 is formed. Next, the 4th semi-finished product P4 is squeezed with the pressing apparatus 150 from the surface sheet TS side, and the 1st pressing part 21-the 4th pressing part 24, and a pair of pressing groove 11a, 11b are formed simultaneously. (Although it is not simultaneous and may be formed in a separate process (another squeezing device), a fifth semi-finished product P5 is formed. The fifth semi-finished product P5 is delivered to the transport roll 160.

Next, in the third forming step, the continuous sheet-like back sheet BS is supplied from the roll WR4 to the transport roll 161. A hot melt adhesive is applied to one surface of the back sheet BS by a coating device 304. The back sheet BS supplied from the transport roll 161 is pressed onto the one surface of the fifth semi-finished product P5 on the transport roll 160. Thereby, a sixth semi-finished product P6 is formed. The sixth semi-finished product P6 is delivered to the transport roll 170.
Next, in the fourth forming step, the continuous sheet-like release sheet CT is supplied from the roll WR5 to the back surface fixing portion forming apparatus 171. A hot melt adhesive is applied to one surface of the release sheet CT by a coating device 305. The release sheet CT is cut into a predetermined shape by the back surface fixing part forming device 171. Thereby, the release sheet CT becomes an individual release sheet, and the hot melt adhesive becomes a fixed portion. Then, individual release sheets with fixing portions for the main body 2a are pressed against the sixth semi-finished product P6. As a result, a seventh semi-finished product P7 is formed. Next, the seventh semi-finished product P7 is heated at the peripheral portion by the peripheral sealing device 180 and is edged with a heat seal. Thereby, the eighth semi-finished product P8 is formed. The eighth semi-finished product P8 is transported to the transport roll 190. Next, the continuous sheet-like release sheet FT is supplied from the roll WR6 to the flap fixing part forming device 191. A hot melt adhesive is applied to one surface of the release sheet FT by a coating device 306. The release sheet FT is cut into a predetermined shape by the flap fixing part forming device 191. Thereby, the release sheet FT becomes an individual release sheet, and the hot melt adhesive becomes a fixed portion. Then, each release sheet with a fixing portion for the flap portion 2b is pressed against the eighth semi-finished product P8. Thereby, a ninth semi-finished product P9 is formed. Next, the ninth semi-finished product P <b> 9 is cut into the shape of the absorbent article 1 by cutting the peripheral portion by the peripheral cutting device 200. Thereby, the tenth semi-finished product P10 is formed. The tenth semi-finished product P10 is delivered to the transfer roll 210. Next, a continuous sheet-like packaging sheet WT is supplied from the roll WR7 to the transfer roll 210. A hot melt adhesive is applied to one surface of the packaging sheet WT by a coating device 307 in a predetermined shape. The packaging sheet WT is laminated on the tenth semi-finished product P10 that is sucked and conveyed by the outer peripheral surface of the transfer roll 210 via a hot melt adhesive. Thereby, the absorbent article 1 in which the packaging sheet WT is laminated is formed. The absorbent article 1 is conveyed to a packaging process. Description is omitted about the packaging process performed by a well-known method.

  As described above, the packaged absorbent article 1 is manufactured.

(Second Embodiment)
Next, the absorbent article according to the present embodiment will be described. Below, a difference with the absorbent article which concerns on 1st Embodiment is mainly demonstrated. FIG. 7 is a view showing an absorbent article. Compared to the absorbent article 1 of the first embodiment, the absorbent article 1 of the present embodiment is different in the configuration of the first pressing part 21 and the second pressing part 22. Furthermore, in this Embodiment, the structure of the 3rd pressing part 23 and the 4th pressing part 24 is different. This will be specifically described below.

  In this Embodiment, the 1st pressing part 21 and the 2nd pressing part 22 are comprised from the some pressing part, respectively. Furthermore, in this Embodiment, the 3rd pressing part 23 and the 4th pressing part 24 are comprised from the some pressing part, respectively. All the compressed parts have a circular shape. That is, the 1st pressing part 21 is comprised from two circular pressing parts 21a and 21b, the 2nd pressing part 22 is comprised from three circular pressing parts 22a, 22b, and 22c, and is 3rd pressing. The part 23 is comprised from three circular pressing parts 23a, 23b, 23c, and the 4th pressing part 24 is comprised from two circular pressing parts 24a, 24b.

  When each of the first squeezing part 21 to the fourth squeezing part 24 is composed of a plurality of squeezing parts, a centroid line connecting the centroids of the squeezing parts in a straight line is used as a reference line. And it is set as the "relative inclination" in each of the 1st pressing part 21-the 4th pressing part 24 with the angle which the reference line and the longitudinal direction center line CL cross. In addition, when a plurality of pressing parts are three or more pressing parts and the centers of gravity are not connected by a single straight line, an optimal straight line is obtained by the least square method.

  Moreover, when each of the 1st pressing part 21-the 4th pressing part 24 is comprised from several pressing parts, when comprised from two pressing parts, the intermediate position of the gravity center of two pressing parts is set. When it is made up of “relative positions” of two compressed parts and is composed of three or more compressed parts, the position of the center of gravity of the polygon whose center is the center of gravity of these compressed parts is “ Relative position ".

  That is, in the 1st pressing part 21, let the 1st gravity line GL21 which connects the gravity center G21a of the pressing part 21a and the gravity center G21b of the pressing part 21b be a 1st reference line. The first angle α1 is an angle formed by the longitudinal center line CL and the first reference line. In the 2nd pressing part 22, 2nd center-of-gravity line GL22 which connects the gravity center G22a of the pressing part 22a, the gravity center G22b of the pressing part 22b, and the gravity center G22c of the pressing part 22c is used as a 2nd reference line. The second angle β1 is an angle formed by the longitudinal center line CL and the second reference line. In the 3rd pressing part 23, let the 3rd gravity line GL23 which connects the gravity center G23a of the pressing part 23a and the gravity center G23b of the pressing part 23b be a 3rd reference line. The third angle α2 is an angle formed by the longitudinal center line CL and the third reference line. In the 4th pressing part 24, let the 4th gravity line GL24 which connects the gravity center G24a of the pressing part 24a, the gravity center G24b of the pressing part 24b, and the gravity center G24c of the pressing part 24c be a 4th reference line. The fourth angle β2 is an angle formed by the longitudinal center line CL and the fourth reference line.

  Also in this embodiment, the same effect as that of the first embodiment can be obtained. Moreover, in this Embodiment, the 1st pressing part 21 and the 2nd pressing part 22 are comprised from several pressing parts, The consumer's consciousness is the several pressing parts 21a, 21b, 22a, 22b, 22c can be directed, and the consumer is less conscious of the relationship between the first squeezing part 21 and the second squeezing part 22, the longitudinal center line CL, the edges 3a, 3b of the absorbent body 3, etc. It can be made to. Due to the visual effect, it is possible to make it difficult for the consumer to recognize the displacement in the width direction W of the pair of compressed grooves 11a and 11b.

  Furthermore, in this Embodiment, the 3rd pressing part 23 and the 4th pressing part 24 are comprised from a several pressing part, and also a consumer's consciousness is further the some pressing part 23a, 23b, 24a. , 24 b, 24 c, and the consumer can further relate the relationship between the first squeezing part 21 and the second squeezing part 22 and the longitudinal center line CL and the edges 3 a and 3 b of the absorbent body 3. It can be made not to be conscious. Due to the visual effect, it is possible to make it more difficult for the consumer to recognize the displacement in the width direction W of the pair of compressed grooves 11a and 11b.

  In addition, in this Embodiment, all of the 1st pressing part 21 and the 2nd pressing part 22, or the 3rd pressing part 23 and the 4th pressing part 24 are comprised from the several pressing part. However, the present embodiment is not limited to this example. For example, at least one of the first pressing part 21, the second pressing part 22, the third pressing part 23, and the fourth pressing part 24 may be composed of a plurality of pressing parts, thereby The same effect as the effect can be obtained. Moreover, in each of the 1st pressing part 21-the 4th pressing part 24, there is no restriction | limiting in particular about the inclination (the definition of inclination is the same as 1st Embodiment) of each pattern of a some pressing part, It may be the same as or different from other squeezing parts among the plurality of squeezing parts, may have the same inclination as the inclination of the reference line, or may have a different inclination. In the same case, the pattern becomes easy to recognize and the consumer's attention is directed to the compressed part.If the pattern is different, the relationship between the compressed part and the longitudinal center line and the edge of the absorber becomes more difficult to recognize. In addition, it is difficult to recognize misalignment.

  Next, a modified example of the absorbent article according to the present embodiment will be described. FIG. 8 is a view showing a modified example of the absorbent article. Compared with the absorbent article 1 of FIG. 7, the shapes of the plurality of compressed parts constituting the first compressed part 21 to the second compressed part 22 are all heart-shaped, and the third compressed part 23 to the fourth compressed part. The shape of the plurality of pressing parts constituting the part 24 is different in that it is a flower shape, and the number of the plurality of pressing parts constituting the second pressing part 22 and the third pressing part 23 is reduced to two. Is different.

  Thus, in this Embodiment, there is no restriction | limiting in particular in the number, the kind, and combination of the pattern of the some pressing part which comprises each of the 1st pressing part 21-the 4th pressing part 24. FIG. Therefore, in each of the first pressing unit 21 to the fourth pressing unit 24, the number, type, and combination of patterns may be different from each other. Or in the some pressing part which comprises each of the 1st pressing part 21-the 4th pressing part 24, the number, kind, and combination of patterns may mutually differ. Even in such a case, the same effect as the absorbent article of FIG. 7 can be exhibited.

(Third embodiment)
Next, the absorbent article according to the present embodiment will be described. Below, a difference with the absorbent article which concerns on 1st Embodiment is mainly demonstrated. FIG. 9 is a view showing an absorbent article. Compared with the absorbent article 1 of the first embodiment, the absorbent article 1 of the present embodiment is different in the configuration of both end edges 3a, 3b in the width direction W of the absorbent body 3. This will be specifically described below.

  In the present embodiment, the edges 3a and 3b on both sides of the absorbent body 3 in the width direction W are provided on the outer side in the width direction W and the convex curved region 30 having an outer edge curved in a convex manner with respect to the outer side in the width direction W. On the other hand, the concave curved region 31 having an outer edge that is concavely curved has a shape that alternates along the longitudinal direction L, that is, a waveform shape. However, there is no particular limitation on the shape of this waveform.

Also in this embodiment, the same effects as those in the first embodiment can be obtained.
Further, in the present embodiment, the outer edges 3a and 3b of the absorber 3 have a shape in which the outer edge curved convexly and the outer edge curved concavely are continuously formed in the width direction W, that is, a waveform shape. Since it has, it becomes difficult for a consumer to recognize the distance of the edge 3a, 3b of an absorber, and a pair of pressing groove 11a, 11b. In such a case, even if the position of a pair of pressing grooves 11a and 11b is shifted in the width direction W, it is difficult for the consumer to recognize the position shift. That is, it is possible to make it difficult for consumers to recognize the positional deviation in the width direction W between the pair of compressed grooves 11a and 11b, and to prevent the quality of the absorbent article 1 from being impaired. Note that the end edges 3a and 3b may be line symmetric with respect to the longitudinal center line CL, or may be non-line symmetric. In the case of line symmetry, the aesthetics are improved and the consumer's attention is directed to the waveform curve. In the case of non-line symmetry, it becomes difficult to recognize the distance between the pair of compressed grooves 11a and 11b. Can make it difficult to recognize misalignment.

  The absorbent article of the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and the embodiments can be combined or changed without departing from the object and spirit of the present invention.
