Description

흡수성 위생 용품 {ABSORBENT SANITARY ARTICLES}Absorbent hygiene products {ABSORBENT SANITARY ARTICLES}

본 발명은 흡수성 위생 용품에 관한 것으로서, 보다 상세하게는 여성의 소변, 생리혈 등의 각종 분비물을 흡수할 수 있는 흡수성 위생 용품에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to an absorbent hygiene article, and more particularly, to an absorbent hygiene article capable of absorbing various secretions such as urine and menstrual blood of a woman.

일반적으로 흡수성 위생 용품 중의 하나로서 생리대는 여성들이 생리기간 중 흘러내리는 생리혈을 받아내기 위해 사용하는 필수품이다. 이러한 생리대는 여성의 국부에 밀착되도록 착용하는데, 여성의 국부는 질병이나 미생물 및 병균에 감염될 수지가 높은 부위이기에 생리대의 위생에 대해 높은 관심이 필요하다.In general, as one of absorbent hygiene products, sanitary napkins are essential items used by women to receive menstrual blood flowing during menstruation. These sanitary napkins are worn so that they adhere to the women's local areas, and the women's local areas require high attention to hygiene of sanitary napkins because they are areas of high resin to be infected by diseases, microorganisms, and germs.

대부분의 생리대는 생리혈의 흡수와 새지 않도록 하는 사항을 주목적으로 개발되고 있고, 자연상태에서 분해가 어려운 등 환경에 대해서는 크게 관심을 갖지 않는 실정이다.Most sanitary napkins have been developed primarily for the purpose of absorbing and not leaking menstrual blood, and do not have much interest in the environment, such as difficulty in decomposition in natural conditions.

일부 생리대에서는 세균의 번식방지를 위해 통상의 살균제나 방부제를 생리대에 사용하고 있는데, 살균제나 방부제의 유독성분이 인체에 흡수되어 피부 트러블 등의 문제가 발생하는 문제점이 있다.In some sanitary napkins, a conventional disinfectant or preservative is used in the sanitary napkin to prevent the growth of bacteria. However, there is a problem in that toxic components of the disinfectant or preservative are absorbed by the human body, causing problems such as skin problems.

이에 앞서, 본 명세서 및 청구범위에 사용된 용어나 단어는 통상적이거나 사전적인 의미로 한정해서 해석되어서는 아니 되며, 발명자는 그 자신의 발명을 가장 최선의 방법으로 설명하기 위해 용어의 개념을 적절하게 정의할 수 있다는 원칙에 입각하여 본 발명의 기술적 사상에 부합하는 의미와 개념으로 해석되어야만 한다.Prior to this, the terms or words used in the present specification and claims should not be interpreted as being limited to ordinary or dictionary meanings, and the inventor appropriately explains the concept of terms in order to explain his or her invention in the best way. Based on the principle that it can be defined, it should be interpreted as meanings and concepts consistent with the technical spirit of the present invention.

따라서, 본 명세서에 기재된 실시예와 도면에 도시된 구성은 본 발명의 가장 바람직한 일 실시예에 불과할 뿐이고, 본 발명의 기술적 사상을 모두 대변하는 것은 아니므로, 본 출원시점에 있어서 이들은 대체할 수 있는 다양한 균등물과 변형예들이 있을 수 있음을 이해하여야 한다.Therefore, the configuration shown in the embodiments and drawings described in this specification is only one of the most preferred embodiments of the present invention, and does not represent all of the technical spirit of the present invention, and at the time of application, they can be replaced. It should be understood that there may be various equivalents and variations.

도 1은 본 발명의 일 실시예에 따른 흡수성 위생 용품을 보인 평면도이고, 도 2는 도 1의 단면도이며, 도 3은 도 1의 다른 예를 보인 단면도이다.1 is a plan view showing an absorbent hygiene article according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of FIG. 1, and FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view showing another example of FIG. 1.

도 1 및 도 2에 도시된 바와 같이, 본 발명의 일 실시예에 따른 흡수성 위생 용품(10)은, 액체 투과성의 탑시트(11), 탑시트(11)에 하측으로 배치되며 생분해성 섬유로 구성되는 액체 불투과성의 백시트(12), 탑시트(11)와 백시트(12) 사이에 고정되어 탑시트(11)를 통과한 분비물 등의 액체가 한 부분에 집중 흡수되지 않도록 넓은 범위로 분산시키는 분산시트(13) 및 분산시트(13)와 백시트(12) 사이에 고정되어 분산시트(13)를 투과한 분비물을 흡수하는 흡수체(16)를 포함할 수 있다.1 and 2, the absorbent hygiene article 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention is disposed downwardly on the liquid-permeable topsheet 11 and topsheet 11 and is composed of biodegradable fibers. Liquid-impermeable backsheet 12, a dispersion sheet that is fixed between the topsheet 11 and the backsheet 12 to disperse liquids such as secretions that have passed through the topsheet 11 in a wide range so as not to be absorbed intensively in one portion. (13) and the dispersion sheet 13 and the back sheet 12 may be fixed between the absorber 16 to absorb the secretion transmitted through the dispersion sheet 13 may be included.

탑시트(11)는 신체의 가장 민감한 국부와 접촉되므로 천연섬유(예를 들어, 100% 유기, 천연 셀룰로오스섬유)로 형성된다. 보다 구체적으로, 탑시트(11)는 천연섬유 소재인 유기농 섬유로 형성된 부직포(재료)를 포함한다. 탑시트(11)는 착용자 신체의 국부와 접촉되는 최상위 시트로서 국부로부터 배출되는 생리혈, 냉, 소변 등의 분비물을 투과시키는 역할을 수행할 수 있도록 액투과성을 가지며, 날개 측(11a)은 소수성 처리될 수 있다.The top sheet 11 is made of natural fibers (eg, 100% organic, natural cellulose fibers) because it contacts the most sensitive areas of the body. More specifically, the top sheet 11 includes a nonwoven fabric (material) formed of organic fibers, which are natural fiber materials. The top sheet 11 is a top-level sheet in contact with the wearer's body and has liquid permeability to perform a role of transmitting secretions such as menstrual blood, cold and urine discharged from the wearer, and the wing side 11a is hydrophobic. You can.

탑시트(11)와 날개(11a) 사이에는 사이드 커버(11b)가 위치하여 위생 용품(10)을 착용하였을 때 분비물이 측면으로 새어나오는 것을 방지하도록 구성될 수 있다. 이러한 사이드 커버(11b)는 날개 측(11a)과 함께 소수성 처리됨이 바람직하다.A side cover 11b is positioned between the topsheet 11 and the wings 11a to prevent secretions from leaking to the side when the hygiene article 10 is worn. The side cover 11b is preferably hydrophobic treated together with the wing side 11a.

대표적인 유기농 섬유는, 식물성 천연섬유 및 동물성 천연섬유 모두를 포함하지만, 이에 한정되지 않는다. 식물성 천연섬유에는 면, 대나무, 실크 등이 포함될 수 있다.Representative organic fibers include, but are not limited to, both vegetable natural and animal natural fibers. Vegetable natural fibers may include cotton, bamboo, and silk.

면은 가장 널리 사용되는 천연섬유이고 흡수성이 매우 좋고, 취급하기 쉽고, 착용자에게 편안함을 준다. 면은 거의 순수한 셀룰로오스이고 촉감이 부드럽고 통기성이 우수하다. 많은 재료와 마찬가지로, 면은 비료나 농약과 같은 어떠한 합성 농약 조성물을 사용하지 않고 비-유전자 변형 식물에서 자란다는 것을 의미하는 것으로 일반적으로 이해되는 유기적 형태로 이용할 수 있고 판매되고 있다.Cotton is the most widely used natural fiber and is very absorbent, easy to handle, and comfortable for the wearer. Cotton is almost pure cellulose, soft to the touch, and excellent in breathability. Like many materials, cotton is available and sold in an organic form generally understood to mean growing in a non-genetically modified plant without the use of any synthetic pesticide composition such as fertilizer or pesticide.

대나무는 환경 파괴없이 지속가능한 작물이고, 빠르게 성장하면 새로운 작물로 신속하게 대체할 수 있다. 대마와 마찬가지로, 일반적으로 성장하는데에 비료나 살충제가 필요하지 않다. 대나무는 부드럽고 흡수성이 높기 때문에 흡수성 물품에 적합하다.Bamboo is a sustainable crop without environmental degradation, and if it grows quickly, it can be quickly replaced with a new crop. Like hemp, fertilizers or pesticides are generally not required to grow. Bamboo is suitable for absorbent articles because it is soft and highly absorbent.

실크는 누에고치에서 뽑은 섬유로서 주로 양잠농가에서 생산하는 것을 가잠이라고 하며, 중국 산동 지방과 인도 등지에서 생산하는 것을 야잠이라고 한다. 가잠에 비해서 야잠은 더 가늘고 광택이 있을 뿐만 아니라 가볍고 질기며 따뜻한 것이 특징이다. 다만, 염색이 잘 되지 않으므로 다른 식물성 천연섬유와 함께 혼합하여 형성됨이 바람직하다.Silk is a fiber extracted from cocoon, and it is mainly called gamjam, which is mainly produced by sericulture farms, and it is called yam, which is produced in Shandong, China, and India. Compared to Gajam, Yajam is not only thinner and shiny, but also light, tough and warm. However, since the dyeing is not good, it is preferable to form it by mixing with other vegetable natural fibers.

이상에서 언급된 면, 대나무, 실크의 혼합으로서 탑시트(11)를 형성할 수 있다. 이중 대나무는 자체 향균물질을 포함하고 있으며, 실크는 촉감이 매우 부드러워 국부에 부담없이 사용될 수 있다. 이 경우, 면, 대나무, 실크는 3겹으로 구성되어 울트라 소닉을 이용하여 초음파 진동으로 서로 용착되어 하나의 탑시트(11)를 형성하게 된다.The top sheet 11 can be formed by mixing the cotton, bamboo, and silk mentioned above. Of these, bamboo contains its own antibacterial material, and silk is very soft to the touch and can be used without burden on the local area. In this case, cotton, bamboo, and silk are composed of three layers, and are welded to each other by ultrasonic vibration using ultra sonic to form one top sheet 11.
