Abstract
Description
lO 15 20 25 30 LJ U'| 51Û 799 2 det absorberande skiktet, samt att det absorberande skiktet är komprimerat inom området för varje nedsänkning. Genom att öppningarna hos flerskiktsmaterial är vinkelräta mot huden när alstren, i vilka flerskiktsmaterialet ingår, är satta på plats är risken liten för att i öppningarna be- làgna fiberândar eller liknande i det absorberande skiktet kommer i kontakt med sárytan eller huden och de kompri- merade delarna av det absorberande skiktet hjälper till att snabbt föra vätska bort från öppningarna. lO 15 20 25 30 LJ U '| 51Û 799 2 the absorbent layer, and that the absorbent layer is compressed within the area of each immersion. Because the openings of multilayer material are perpendicular to the skin when the articles, in which the multilayer material is included, are put in place, there is little risk that fiber ends or the like located in the openings in the absorbent layer come into contact with the wound surface or the skin and the compressed the parts of the absorbent layer help to quickly carry liquid away from the openings.
I en föredragen utföringsform utgöres det hydrofoba skiktet av en plastfilm och det absorberande skiktet av ett non- woven innefattande absorberande fibrer.In a preferred embodiment, the hydrophobic layer consists of a plastic film and the absorbent layer of a nonwoven comprising absorbent fibers.
I en variant innefattar det absorberande flerskiktsmateria- let flera skikt av nonwoven, av vilka åtminstone de skikt som ej anligger mot det hydrofoba skiktet, innefattar smältfibrer.In one variant, the absorbent multilayer material comprises several layers of nonwoven, of which at least the layers which do not abut the hydrophobic layer comprise fused fibers.
I en andra utföringsform utgöres det absorberande skiktet av absorberande skum.In a second embodiment, the absorbent layer is made of absorbent foam.
Uppfinningen avser även ett förfarande för att tillverka ett absorberande flerskiktsmaterial, kännetecknat av att ett skikt av svetsbart hydrofobt material sammanföres med åtminstone ett skikt av absorberande material, att de sam- manförda skikten föres igenom nypet mellan ett ultraljud- horn och en mothàllsvals med skiktet av svetsbart material anliggande mot mothàllsvalsen, samt att valsen utformas med i omkretsled efter varandra följande rader av åtskilda utskott med krökta utsidor och vertikala sidor, vilka rader väsentligen sträcker sig i axiell riktning, samt att av- ståndet mellan ultraljudhornet och mothállsvalsen inställes så att det svetsbara materialet snittas utefter de krökta kanterna mellan varje utskotts utsida och vertikala sidor samtidigt som de sammanförda skikten deformeras inom om- rådet för varje utskott så att rader av nedsänkningar bildas och så att det svetsbara skiktet fästes till skiktet av absorberande material inom större delen av området för 10 20 25 30 '55 3 510 799 varje utskott.The invention also relates to a method for manufacturing an absorbent multilayer material, characterized in that a layer of weldable hydrophobic material is combined with at least one layer of absorbent material, that the joined layers are passed through the nip between an ultrasonic horn and an abutment roller with the layer of weldable material abutting the abutment roller, and that the roller is formed with circumferentially successive rows of spaced apart projections with curved outsides and vertical sides, which rows extend substantially in the axial direction, and that the distance between the ultrasonic horn and the abutment roller is adjusted so that the weldable the material is cut along the curved edges between the outside and vertical sides of each projection while the joined layers are deformed within the area of each projection to form rows of depressions and so that the weldable layer is attached to the layer of absorbent material over most of the area of 10 20 25 30 '55 3,510,799 to each committee.
I en föredragen utföringsform sammanföres flera skikt in- nefattande absorberande fibrer med skiktet av svetsbart material, av vilka åtminstone de skikt, som inte anligger mot skiktet av svetsbart material, även innehåller smält- fibrer.In a preferred embodiment, several layers comprising absorbent fibers are joined to the layer of weldable material, of which at least the layers which do not abut against the layer of weldable material also contain molten fibers.
Uppfinningen avser även en anordning för att tillverka ett absorberande flerskiktsmaterial med en perforerad sida, kännetecknad av att den innefattar organ för att sammanföra åtminstone tvà materialbanor, organ för att föra de samman- förda materialbanorna igenom nypet mellan ett ultraljudhorn och en mothállsvals, vilken innefattar i omkretsled efter varandra följande rader av åtskilda utskott med krökta utsidor och vertikala sidor, vilka rader väsentligen sträc- ker sig i axiell riktning, samt organ för att utskära enskilda materialstycken ur materialbanan efter passagen av ultraljudhornet.The invention also relates to a device for manufacturing an absorbent multilayer material with a perforated side, characterized in that it comprises means for joining at least two webs of material, means for passing the joined webs of material through the nip between an ultrasonic horn and an abutment roller, which comprises in circumferential successive rows of separated projections with curved outer sides and vertical sides, which rows extend substantially in the axial direction, and means for cutting individual pieces of material out of the web of material after the passage of the ultrasonic horn.
I en föredragen utföringsform har utskottens vertikala sidor cirkelsegmentform.In a preferred embodiment, the vertical sides of the committees have a circular segment shape.
Uppfinningen skall nu beskrivas med hänvisning till bifoga- de figurer, av vilka; fig. 1 schematiskt visar en anordning för att tillverka sàrdynor enligt en föredragen utföringsform av uppfinnin- gen , fig. 2 visar en detalj av en mothàllsvals ingående i den i figur 1 visade anordningen, fig. 3 schematiskt visar en sàrdyna tillverkad medelst den i figur 1 visade anordningen, fig. 4 visar en snittvy längs linjen IV-IV i figur 3, och fig. 5 visar en snittvy längs linjen V-V i figur 3. 10 15 20 25 30 (ß) UI 510 799 4 I figur 1 visas schematiskt en anordning enligt uppfin- ningen för att tillverka sàrdynor. Anordningen innefattar en mothållsvals 1 och ett ultraljudhorn 2 i ett ultraljud- svetsaggregat av konventionell typ, vilket är placerat periferiellt ovanför mothàllsvalsen och är radiellt för- flyttbart för att medge inställning av medelavstándet mellan valsperiferin och hornet 2. Vidare har anordningen icke visade organ för att dra en materialbana 3 igenom nypet mellan valsen 1 och hornet 2. Materialbanan 3 är i sig sammansatt av två materialbanor, en bana 4 av plastfilm och en bana 5 av absorberande material, vilka drages av förràdsrullar 6 resp. 7. Plastfilmen 4 kan utgöras av polyeten och banan 5 av ett fibertyg, ett s.k. nonwoven, innehållande absorberande fibrer, såsom viskos- eller cellulosafibrer. Ett lämpligt material är ett spunlaced polypropylen-viskos nonwoven.The invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying figures, of which; Fig. 1 schematically shows a device for manufacturing wound pads according to a preferred embodiment of the invention, Fig. 2 shows a detail of a resistance roller included in the device shown in Fig. 1, Fig. 3 schematically shows a wound pad made by means of the one shown in fig. 1, Fig. 4 shows a sectional view along the line IV-IV in Fig. 3, and Fig. 5 shows a sectional view along the line VV in Fig. 3. (ß) UI 510 799 4 In Fig. 1 is shown schematically a device according to the invention for manufacturing wound pads. The device comprises an abutment roller 1 and an ultrasonic horn 2 in an ultrasonic welding assembly of conventional type, which is located peripherally above the abutment roller and is radially movable to allow adjustment of the average distance between the roller periphery and the horn 2. Furthermore, the device has means not shown for pull a web of material 3 through the nip between the roller 1 and the horn 2. The web of material 3 is itself composed of two webs of material, a web 4 of plastic film and a web 5 of absorbent material, which are drawn by supply rollers 6 and 6, respectively. 7. The plastic film 4 can be made of polyethylene and the web 5 of a non-woven fabric, a so-called nonwoven, containing absorbent fibers, such as viscose or cellulosic fibers. A suitable material is a spunlaced polypropylene viscose nonwoven.
De bägge materialbanorna 4 och 5 fästes till varandra vid passagen av ultraljudhornet 2 och därefter föres den av banorna 4 och 5 sammansatta materialbanan 3 till en klipp- anordning 8, vilken skär eller stansar ut enskilda sàrdynor 9 ur materialbanan 3.The two material webs 4 and 5 are attached to each other at the passage of the ultrasonic horn 2 and then the material web 3 composed of the webs 4 and 5 is conveyed to a cutting device 8, which cuts or punches individual wound pads 9 out of the material web 3.
I figur 2 visas en utskuren del av mothàllsvalsen 1 i större skala. Som framgår av denna figur är valsen 1 utef- ter sin periferi försedd med rader av utskott 10 med krökta utsidor 11 och vertikala sidor 12. Med "utsidor" avses de periferiellt yttre sidorna 11 hos utskotten 10 och med "vertikala sidor" avses att de motstående cirkelsegment- formade sidorna 12 hos varje utskott ligger i plan paral- lella med papperets plan i figur 1.Figure 2 shows a cut-out part of the resistance roller 1 on a larger scale. As can be seen from this figure, the roller 1 is provided along its periphery with rows of projections 10 with curved outer sides 11 and vertical sides 12. By "outer sides" is meant the peripherally outer sides 11 of the projections 10 and by "vertical sides" is meant that they opposite circular segment-shaped sides 12 of each protrusion lie in planes parallel to the plane of the paper in Figure 1.
När de på varandra lagda banorna 4 och 5 passerar ultra- ljudhornet 2 kommer detta under sina upp- och nedåtgående rörelser att trycka banorna 4,5 mot valsperiferin. Därvid har det visat sig att plastfilmen, vilken ligger närmast valsen 1, snittas av utskotten motstàende kanter och de utanför dessa kanter liggande delarna av banorna tryckes sedan ned mellan utskotten. Samtidigt àstadkommes en smält- lO 15 20 25 35 5 510 799 ning av plastskiktets mot skiktet 5 vända sida över större delen av utskottens 10 utsidor 12. Vidare sker en komprime- ring av nonwovenmaterialet 5 i de delar, som ligger mellan utskottens utsidor och ultraljudhornet. Denna komprimering kvarstår när enskilda sárdynor utskäres ur den sammansatta materialbanan 3. Det har visat sig att en mothállsvals innefattande utskott med krökta utsidor ger en större fästyta mellan plastfilmens av utskotten nedtryckta delar och underliggande absorberande material än en mothàllsvals med utskott med rak utsida.When the superimposed paths 4 and 5 pass the ultrasonic horn 2, this will during its upward and downward movements push the paths 4,5 towards the roll periphery. It has been found that the plastic film, which is closest to the roller 1, is cut by the edges opposite the projections and the parts of the webs lying outside these edges are then pressed down between the projections. At the same time a melting is achieved of the side of the plastic layer facing the layer 5 over most of the outer sides 10 of the projections 10. Furthermore, the nonwoven material 5 is compressed in the parts which lie between the outer sides of the projections and the ultrasonic horn. . This compression persists when individual wound pads are cut from the composite web 3. It has been found that an abutment roller comprising protrusions with curved outsides provides a larger attachment surface between the parts of the plastic film depressed by the protrusions and underlying absorbent material than an abutment roller with protrusions with a straight exterior.
En genom beskrivna förfarande tillverkad sàrdyna 9 visas i figurerna 3-5. I dessa figurer visas sàrdynan med den sida, som vid användning skall anliggande mot ett sår, vänd uppát. Sàrdynan är uppbyggd av ett plastfilmskikt 4' och ett nonwovenskikt 5' och innefattar parallella rader av nedsänkningar 13 i plastskiktet och det underliggande non- wovenskiktet. I nedsänkningarna 13 har plastskiktet en hängmatteliknande konfiguration, såsom bäst framgår av figur 5, och mot sàrdynans plan vinkelräta öppningar 14 bildas av de från varandra avlägsnade snittytorna hos plastskiktet. Vidare är nonwovenmaterialet komprimerat inom omrâdet för varje nedsänkning, såsom framgår av figurerna 4 och 5. Skikten 4'och 5' är dessutom fastsvetsade till varandra inom större delen av området för varje nedsänk- ning.A wound pad 9 made by the method described is shown in Figures 3-5. In these figures the wound pad is shown with the side, which in use is to abut against a wound, facing upwards. The wound pad is made up of a plastic film layer 4 'and a nonwoven layer 5' and comprises parallel rows of depressions 13 in the plastic layer and the underlying nonwoven layer. In the depressions 13, the plastic layer has a hammock-like configuration, as best seen in Figure 5, and openings 14 perpendicular to the plane of the wound pad are formed by the spaced-apart cut surfaces of the plastic layer. Furthermore, the nonwoven material is compressed within the area of each immersion, as shown in Figures 4 and 5. The layers 4 'and 5' are also welded to each other within most of the area of each immersion.
Vätska som absorberas i det absorberande materialet kring öppningarna 14 kommer snabbt att transporteras bort däri- från p.g.a. de mindre kapillärerna i det absorberande skiktets 5' komprimerade delar. Förutom att vätsketrans- porten i sàrdynan 9 är gynnsam minskas dessutom risken för att öppningarna 14 skall täppas till av stelnad sàrvätska jämfört med en sàrdyna utan komprimerade delar.Liquid absorbed in the absorbent material around the openings 14 will be rapidly transported away therefrom due to the smaller capillaries in the compressed portions 5 'of the absorbent layer. In addition to the fact that the liquid transport in the wound pad 9 is favorable, the risk of the openings 14 being clogged by solidified wound fluid is also reduced compared with a wound pad without compressed parts.
Sårdynan kan med fördel vara försedd med en baksida av hydrofobt nonwoven, t.ex. av polypropylen.The wound pad may advantageously be provided with a backing of hydrophobically nonwoven, e.g. of polypropylene.
Sårdynan 9 är steriliserbar genom beta-, äng- eller gasste- lO 15 20 25 510 799 6' rilisering.The wound pad 9 can be sterilized by beta-, meadow or gas sterilization.
Det beskrivna förfarandet kan med fördel även användas för att tillverka vätskegenomsläppliga ytskikt till absorberan- de artiklar, såsom dambindor eller blöjor. Vid sådana ytskikt är det viktigt att avgiven vätska snabbt borttrans- porteras från huden för att bindan eller blöjan skall ge ett torrt intryck och för att minska risken för att avgiven vätska rinner utefter plastfilmens yta.The described method can advantageously also be used for manufacturing liquid-permeable surface layers for absorbent articles, such as sanitary napkins or diapers. In such surface layers, it is important that the dispensed liquid is quickly transported away from the skin in order for the napkin or diaper to give a dry impression and to reduce the risk of the dispensed liquid flowing along the surface of the plastic film.
Den beskrivna utföringsformen kan naturligtvis modifieras utan att uppfinningens ram lämnas. Exempelvis kan fler än ett skikt av absorberande material ingå i sårdynan, varvid dock de ytterligare skikten måste innehålla smältfibrer, t.ex. polypropen- eller polyesterfibrer. Andra absorberande material än nonwoven kan användas, t.ex. absorberande skum.The described embodiment can of course be modified without leaving the scope of the invention. For example, more than one layer of absorbent material may be included in the wound pad, however, the additional layers must contain molten fibers, e.g. polypropylene or polyester fibers. Absorbent materials other than nonwoven can be used, e.g. absorbent foam.
Vidare löper raderna av utskott lämpligen något snett relativt mothållsvalsens axialriktning. Angivelsen i pa- tentkravet 5 att raderna av utskott "väsentligen sträcker sig i axielll riktning" avses innefatta rader som bildar en vinkel på upp till 45° mot axialriktningen. Utskotten kan ha annan krökt form än den som visas på figurerna. Uppfin- ningen skall därför endast begränsas av innehållet i bifo- gade patentkrav.Furthermore, the rows of projections preferably run somewhat obliquely relative to the axial direction of the abutment roller. The statement in claim 5 that the rows of projections "substantially extend in the axial direction" are intended to include rows which form an angle of up to 45 ° to the axial direction. The projections may have a curved shape other than that shown in the figures. The invention should therefore be limited only by the content of the appended claims.
