200906372 九、發明說明 【發明所屬之技術領域】 本發明’係關於吸收性物品,及吸收性物品的製造方 法。特別是’關於具備有:其具有高吸收性樹脂的吸收體 材料之吸收性物品,及該當吸收性物品的製造方法。 【先前技術】 其具備有:具有高吸收性樹脂的吸收體材料之吸收性 物品已耳熟能詳。 如此之吸收性物品是使用於吸收經血等之特定的液 體’被該吸收性物品吸收之液體,被保持於上述吸收體材 料內之上述高吸收性樹脂。又,亦有於上述吸收性物品之 中,爲了適切吸收上述液體,而四處點分布有於吸收體材 料中密集有高吸收性樹脂之區域者(參照日本特表平9-504207號公報)。 【發明內容】 [發明所欲解決之技術問題] 然而,高吸收性樹脂具備有保持液體則膨潤之性質, 因此會有因該當高吸收性樹脂之膨潤,而吸收性物品之, 相當於高吸收性樹脂密集的區域之部分隆起之疑慮。再 者,發生於吸收性物品之隆起會給予該吸收性物品之穿著 者異物感。 本發明,係鑑於有關此課題者,其目的爲,抑制在吸 200906372 收性物品內’起因於筒吸收性樹脂的膨潤所發生之隆起。 [解決問題之技術手段] 爲了解決上述之課題’本發明,主要爲針對於具備 有:具有長邊方向及寬幅方向以及厚度方向之吸收體材料 的吸收性物品,其特徵爲:上述吸收體材料,具備有:其 具有高吸收性樹脂密集之密集層、以及於上述厚度方向與 上述密集層鄰接之空間層,並四處點分布的點分布部。關 於本發明之其他特徵’則根據本專利說明書及附圖之記載 得以昭明。 【實施方式】 於本專利說明書及圖面,揭示有至少以下之事項。 首先,針對於具備有:具有長邊方向及寬幅方向以及 厚度方向的吸收體材料之吸收性物品,其特徵爲:上述吸 收體材料,爲含有吸水性纖維及高吸收性樹脂地形成,且 具備有:其具有高吸收性樹脂密集之密集層、及於上述厚 度方向與上述密集層鄰接之空間層,並四處點分布的點分 布部。 於有關此吸收性物品,在密集有高吸收性樹脂之點分 布部內,具備有作爲相對於該高吸收性樹脂之膨潤的空間 性餘裕之空間層。亦即,即使高吸收性樹脂膨潤時,亦可 將起因於該當膨潤之高吸收性樹脂體積的增加阻止停留於 空間層內。藉此,可抑制吸收性物品之,在相當於高吸收 -6- 200906372 性樹脂密集之點分布部的部分發生隆起。 又,亦可作成上述吸收性纖維集聚於上述點分布部之 周圍,上述點分布部,於上述厚度方向’在上述空間層 之,與上述密集層鄰接之側的相反側’具備有與該空間層 鄰接之上述吸收性纖維所集聚之集聚層,而上述空間層之 層厚爲比上述密集層之層厚還長。 只要爲有關此構成之吸收性物品,則被該吸收性物品 吸收的液體,會藉由密集於上述點分布部之周圍的吸收性 纖維,滲透於該點分布部內。亦即,爲了使液體能三次元 性地滲透於點分布部內,點分布部內,對於密集於該點分 布部內的高吸收性樹脂而言,爲易於膨潤的環境。因此, 可於點分布部內確保相對於高吸收性樹脂之膨潤的空間性 餘裕之本發明的構成,成爲更有意義者。 又,於點分布部內,在集聚層及密集層爲於厚度方向 鄰接之場合,上述密集層中之高吸收性樹脂若膨潤時,集 聚層內之吸收性纖維會被擠壓出來,該集聚層因而隆起。 其結果,於吸收性物品發生隆起,而給予該吸收性物品之 穿著者異物感。相對於此,在集聚層與密集層之間夾介有 空間層之場合,即使上述密集層中之高吸收性樹脂膨潤, 由於可將該當膨潤所引起之高吸收性樹脂的體積增加,抑 制阻止於空間層內,故可抑制上述集聚層之隆起,亦即, 抑制吸收性物品之隆起的發生。 又’於有關此構成之吸收性物品,由於確保了點分布 部內更多之空間性餘裕,故可更有效地發揮抑制起因於高 -7- 200906372 吸收性樹脂的膨潤之吸收性物品的隆起之發生的效果。 又,上述吸收性物品,爲接觸於穿著者之身體及內褲 的狀態下所使用之生理用衛生棉,並具備有:上述吸收性 物品之,位於與穿著者身體之肌膚面側接觸之表面薄片、 及上述吸收性物品之,位於與內褲之相反面側接觸之背面 薄片、以及夾介於上述表面薄片與上述背面薄片之間且含 有上述吸收體材料的吸收體;上述密集層,亦可作成位於 上述肌膚面側及上述相反面側中之上述相反面側。 於有關此場合,即使發生已膨潤之高吸收性樹脂互相 結合而妨礙液體朝相反面側移動之現象,由於位於比靠近 密集層更靠近肌膚面側之吸收性纖維或高吸收性樹脂之吸 收力會適切地發揮,故吸收力不太會降低,因此,會適切 地進行液體之吸收。 又,上述吸收性物品,具有長邊方向及寬幅方向以及 厚度方向,亦可把位於上述吸收性物品之沿著該長邊方向 之方向的端部之上述點分布部之,相對於該端部的體積佔 有率,作成比位於上述吸收性物品之沿著該長邊方向之方 向的中央部之上述點分布部之,相對於該中央部的體積佔 有率還高。 於有關此場合,在上述端部,吸濕性優異之高吸收性 樹脂,會配置得比上述中央部更多。因此,吸收性物品 中,擋接於穿著者之腹部與臀部的端部側之吸濕力,爲比 中央部側之吸濕力還高。只要是如此之吸收性物品’則可 使其從較易悶熱之上述腹部及上述臀部的周圍,吸收更多 -8 - 200906372 濕氣。其結果,可抑制給予穿著者起因於悶熱之不適感。 其次,針對於具備有由集聚之吸收性纖維及高吸收性 樹脂所構成的吸收體材料,且於該吸收體材料,具備有: 具有上述高吸收性樹脂密集之密集層並四處點分布的點分 布部之吸收性物品的製造方法,其特徵爲:具備有:取得 於位在相當於上述點分布部的位置處具備有穴部之上述吸 收體材料的基材之第1工序,以及爲了在上述穴部內形成 上述密集層,而對該穴部供給上述高吸收性樹脂之第2工 序’於該第2工序’使上述密集層之層厚比上述穴部之深 度更短地來供給上述高吸收性樹脂。 根據有關此製造方法,可提供一種能使其抑制起因於 高吸收性樹脂的膨潤之吸收性物品的隆起之發生的吸收體 材料。 又,具備有上述基材的吸收性纖維,亦可作成於上述 第1工序’藉由讓上述吸收性纖維集聚於具有底部,以及 設置於位在相當於該底部之上述點分布部的凸部之模型 中,來取得上述基材。 根據有關此製造方法,可容易地取得所期望之形狀的 吸收體材料。 又,亦可作成於上述第2工序,使用可回轉地構成並 具備有用以容納上述高吸收性樹脂之凹窪的輥筒,使上述 基材通過該輥筒之下側,於該基材之表面與該輥筒之外周 相向之期間,使容納於上述凹窪的上述高吸收性樹脂從該 凹窪供給於上述穴部。 -9- 200906372 根據有關此製造方法,由於會對穴部之內供給特定量 的高吸收性樹脂,故可供給該穴部內適切量之高吸收性樹 脂。 ===於本實施形態有關此吸收性物品關於=== <<吸收性物品之整體構造>> 首先,作爲本實施形態的吸收性物品之一例’舉一生 理用衛生棉(以下,稱吸收性物品1 )之例’關於該吸收 性物品1之構成例則使用第1圖予以說明。第1圖,爲吸 收性物品1之模式平面圖。於第1圖,以箭頭顯示吸收性 物品1之長邊方向及寬幅方向。於以下之說明,吸收性物 品1所具備之表面中,該當吸收性物品1之接觸於穿著者 身體的面作爲肌膚面,而接觸於內褲之面作爲相反面。 又,於吸收性物品1之長邊方向,把穿著時位於穿著者的 前側(腹部側〉之端作爲前端,而位於後側(臀部側)之 端作爲後端。又,第1圖,爲顯示吸收性物品1之肌膚面 側。 吸收性物品1,如第1圖所示般具備有於特定方向較 長之外形形狀。又,吸收性物品1,具備有:用以吸收經 血等之液體的大致長方狀之吸收體10、及覆蓋吸收體10 之肌膚面側的表面之透液性的表面薄片2 0、及於吸收體 1 〇之肌膚面側,配置於該吸收體1 0之寬幅方向兩端側的 側邊薄片2 5、以及設置於吸收體1 0之相反面側的背面薄 片30。 -10- 200906372 如此之構成的吸收性物品1,係以從該吸收性物品1 之長邊方向的前端部到後端部之部分,爲擋接於穿著者之 身體中,從腹部到臀部的部分之方式裝著。又,吸收性物 品1,爲可沿著長邊方向折疊,且於包裝成產品時是在特 定之折線位置(第1圖中,以二點虛線顯示)被折疊之狀 態(亦即,三折之狀態)。具體地說明,爲於本實施形態 之吸收性物品1存在有二處折線位置。然後,於該折線位 置處折疊時,吸收性物品會成爲三折之狀態,而於上述折 線位置形成有沿著吸收性物品1之寬幅方向的折痕。又, 於本實施形態,該當折痕,爲於吸收性物品1之長邊方 向,區分前端部、中央部、以及後端部之交界。亦即,於 吸收性物品1之長邊方向,位於比前端側之折線位置更前 端側的部分爲前端部,位於比後端側之折線位置更後端側 的部分爲後端部,而位於二處折線位置之間的部分爲中央 部。 藉此,若裝著吸收性物品1,則上述中央部會擋接於 穿著者之股胯部(穿著者之經血排泄口的周邊部位),上 述前端部會從股胯部之一端部擋接到腹部,而上述後端部 會從股胯部之另一端部擋接到臀部。 吸收體1 〇,如第1圖所示,爲安裝於吸收性物品1之 寬幅方向中央部,而吸收體1 〇之長邊方向與吸收性物品1 之長邊方向爲彼此延伸相隨。又,於其爲吸收體1 〇之長 邊方向中央的位置,且,位於寬幅方向中央之部分,形成 有朝肌膚面側膨脹之膨脹部1 0a。膨脹部1 0a,被形成爲 -11 - 200906372 長圓狀,會順應穿著者股胯部(亦即,穿著者的經血排泄 口之周邊部位)之形狀而夾介表面薄片20與該當股胯部 緊貼。另一方面,吸收性物品1中,存在有吸收體1 〇之 區域的長邊方向端部,會擋接於穿著者之腹部或臀部。因 此,吸收體1 〇之長邊方向的長度,其吸收性物品1中 之,存在有吸收體10之長邊方向兩端部的區域,會成爲 所有擋接於穿著者之腹部及臀部的長度。 又,於有關本實施形態之吸收體1 0,例如爲由纖維紙 等之薄頁紙1 1及吸收體材料1 2所構成。吸收體材料1 2, 具有吸收保持從表面薄片20側滲透於吸收體1 0側的液體 之功能,具備有與吸收體1 〇大致相同之外形尺寸。薄頁 紙1 1爲覆蓋構件之一例,係以將上述吸收體材料1 2包入 之方式覆蓋之薄片。又,爲了將薄頁紙11,與被該薄頁紙 1 1覆蓋之吸收體材料1 2予以一體化,而壓縮吸收體1 0之 特定的部分,於該當部分形成有壓花(以下,亦稱吸收體 壓花)。又,關於吸收體1 0之詳細容後再述。 表面薄片20,爲具有透液性之薄片構件,是藉由用紙 漿或棉質等之天然纖維、嫘縈等之纖維素纖維,或是,聚 乙烯或聚丙烯等之熱可塑性疏水性纖維所形成的織布或不 織布或有孔塑膠薄片等而形成。表面薄片20,係備置於吸 收性物品1之寬幅方向中央部,於寬幅方向具備有比吸收 體10稍微寬之寬幅、以及於長邊方向具備有與背面薄片 3 〇大致相同之長度,且跨越吸收體1 〇之表面全區域地覆 蓋。 -12- 200906372 背面薄片30,爲聚乙烯或聚丙烯等之熱可塑性且不透 液性之薄片。背面薄片3 0,被形成得比吸收體1 0還寬許 多,該外緣部之全周位於比吸收體1 〇之外緣部更外側。 又,於寬幅方向之兩側,形成有朝寬幅方向外側延伸而出 的保持部32。保持部32,於吸收性物品1之穿著時,以 被翻折於相反面側之狀態固定於內褲上。又,於有關本實 施形態之背面薄片30,爲聚乙烯或聚丙烯等之熱可塑性且 不透液性之薄片,不過亦可採用含有熱可塑性且不透液性 之薄片,且爲薄頁紙或不織布等所積層之薄片構件。 側邊薄片25,爲用合成樹脂纖維所形成之氣流不織布 或紡黏不織布、用紡黏-熔噴-紡黏層所構成之不織布等 之適當的不織布。側邊薄片25,爲在與上述表面薄片20 之一部分(更正確地說,爲表面薄片20之寬幅方向兩端 部)重疊的狀態下,備置於吸收性物品1之寬幅方向端 部。 於如上述般構成之吸收性物品1,吸收體1 〇之肌膚面 以及表面薄片20,爲藉由熱溶系接著劑而接合,並靠著使 用高溫之押壓構件,藉由朝厚度方向押壓之深溝壓花加工 所形成的深溝部2 0 a,而更強固地接合一起。於本實施形 態有關此深溝部2 0 a,如第1圖所示’係由包圍上述膨脹 部1 0 a的部分,及於該膨脹部1 〇 a之兩側,從吸收性物品 1之長邊方向的前端部延伸至後端部的部分’所構成。再 者,於深溝部20a內’沿著該深溝部20a ’交互配置有溝 深彼此不同之淺底部及深底部。藉由形成有如此之深溝部 -13- 200906372 2 0 a ’在使吸收性物品1之長邊方向中央部屈曲時,該吸 收性物品1之長邊方向兩端部亦變得易於追隨配合中央部 地屈曲。亦即,深溝部2 0 a,爲了使吸收性物品1之穿著 時相當於前述之膨脹部1 〇a的部分沿著身體緊貼,而成爲 促使立體之折曲的折曲誘發部。再者,深溝部2 0 a,於該 深溝部20a內流入經血等時,具備有促使其朝向被壓縮成 高密度的部位(亦即,深底部)滲透,而抑制經血等之擴 散的功能。又,於本實施形態,作成在深溝部20a內交互 配置有淺底部及深底部,不過並不被限定於此,例如,亦 可作成在深溝部20a內之溝深度皆均等。。 再者,於吸收體10及表面薄片20之各相反面側,藉 由熱熔系接著劑接合有背面薄片30。又,於吸收體10之 肌膚面側,從分別稍微重疊於該吸收體1 〇之兩側部的位 置到背面薄片30上面,藉由熱熔系接著劑接合有側邊薄 片25。而,於重疊有背面薄片30、吸收體10、表面薄片 20、以及側邊薄片25之位置,施有藉由經低溫加熱之押 壓構件的壓花加工,因而吸收體10、表面薄片20、側邊 薄片25、以及背面薄片30被更強固地接合一起。再者, 吸收性物品1之外緣部爲施有較低溫度的熱熔著之圓形密 封加工。如上述般,藉由壓花加工或熱熔系接著劑等,吸 收體10、表面薄片20、側邊薄片25、及背面薄片30因此 接合一起。其結果,吸收體1 0 ’被內封於由表面薄片20 及側邊薄片2 5以及背面薄片3 0所形成的空間內。 -14- 200906372 <<吸收體之構造>> 其次,關於本實施形態之吸收體1 〇的構造’使用既 述之第1圖,及第2圖以及第3圖予以說明。第2圖’爲 吸收體1 〇之模式平面圖’顯示該吸收體1 〇之肌膚面側。 第3圖,爲顯示點分布部13之斷面構造之圖,係顯示第2 圖之A-A1斷面。又,第2圖中,以箭頭顯不吸收體1〇之 長邊方向及寬幅方向。於第3圖,以箭頭顯示上下方向’ 亦即,吸收體10之厚度方向。 吸收體10,如第2圖所示般爲於特定方向較長之略薄 片狀的構件,如前述般,爲藉由薄頁紙1 1及吸收體材料 1 2而構成。 吸收體材料1 2,爲具備有與吸收體1 〇大致相同之外 形形狀,該吸收體材料1 2之長邊方向及寬幅方向,分別 在沿著吸收性物品1之長邊方向及寬幅方向的狀態下,安 裝於該吸收性物品1內。又,位於吸收體材料1 2之長邊 方向中央,且,位於寬幅方向中央之部分,爲相當於吸收 體1〇之膨脹部10a的部分,形成有厚度比其他部分更厚 的厚肉部1 4a。再者,於前述之吸收性物品1折疊成包裝 用之際所形成的折痕,亦爲區分上述吸收體1 〇之長邊方 向的中央部及端部的交界。換言之,上述折痕,也是區分 吸收體材料1 2之長邊方向的中央部及端部的交界。因 此,吸收體材料1 2中,相當於吸收性物品1之折線位置 的位置,成爲於該吸收體材料12之長邊方向,區分中央 部及端部的位置。 -15- 200906372 該吸收體材料12 ’爲藉由作爲吸收性纖維一例之紙獎 纖維(被粉碎成纖維狀之紙漿),以及作爲高吸收性樹脂 一例之粒狀的高吸收性聚合物(以下’簡略標示爲 SAP ),而構成。粉碎紙漿被集聚成薄片狀,SAP爲局部 密集於吸收體材料1 2中。 關於本實施形態之吸收體材料1 2之構成,則一面參 照第2圖及第3圖一面具體說明。如第2圖所示,吸收體 材料1 2,具備有四處點分布之點分布部1 3,以及連續於 該點分布部13周圍之連續部14。點分布部1 3,爲SAP所 密集之區域,係於被吸收體材料1 2之長邊方向及寬幅方 向所規範之平面上形成長圓狀。又,於吸收體材料1 2之 厚度方向的表面(肌膚面側或是相反面側之表面)中,上 述點分布部1 3之總面積所占的比例爲在5%以上(較佳爲 5〜70%以上,而1〇〜40%則特別理想)。又,於本實施形 態,如第1圖所示,於吸收體材料12之長邊方向,一部 分的點分布部1 3爲跨越中央部及後端部地存在者,而大 致全部的點分布部丨3爲位於上述長邊方向之端部。換言 之’位於吸收體材料1 2之長邊方向端部的點分布部i 3 之’相對於該長邊方向端部的體積佔有率,爲高於位於長 邊方向中央部的點分布部13之,相對於該長邊方向中央 部的體積佔有率。又,於本實施形態,在前端部及後端 部’後端部的點分布部13之體積佔有率較高。另一方 面’於各點分布部1 3的周圍(亦即,連續部1 4 ),粉碎 紙獎是以大致均等之密集狀態來集聚。換言之,各點分布 -16- 200906372 部1 3係被集聚之粉碎紙漿所包圍。 於有關本實施形態之點分布部1 3,如第3圖所示,爲 上下方向(亦即’吸收體材料12之厚度方向)之三層構 造’具備有粉碎紙漿(於第3圖等,以記號P顯示)集聚 之集聚層13c、及空間層13b、以及SAP (於第3圖等, 以記號S顯示)密集之密集層1 3 a。而,在吸收性物品1 之肌膚面位於相反面之上側的狀態下,於上下方向,從上 述肌膚面側起順序並排著集聚層1 3 c、空間層1 3 b、密集 層1 3 a。亦即,空間層1 3 b與密集層1 3 a爲互相鄰接,而 集聚層13c爲在與上述密集層13a鄰接之側爲相反側處, 與上述空間層1 3 b鄰接。又,如第3圖所示,空間層1 3 b 之層厚爲比密集層13a之層厚更長。在此,所謂層厚,意 指吸收性物品1以水平狀放置,且,該吸收性物品1之肌 膚面爲朝向上側之狀態(亦即,第3圖之狀態)時之層 厚。 再者,如第3圖所示,集聚層13c爲於肌膚面側與連 續部1 4連接,該集聚層1 3 c之粉碎紙漿之密集狀態,爲 大致與連續部1 4之粉碎紙漿的密集狀態相同。如此,在 吸收體材料1 2之肌膚面側’跨越該肌膚面側之表面全區 域,粉碎紙漿以大致均等密集之狀態集聚。因此,可在吸 收性物品1裝著上身時’對於穿著者給予適當之觸感。 又,於集聚層13c及連續部14集聚有相同之粉碎紙漿, 所謂粉碎紙漿之密集狀態’是指每單位體積所含有之粉碎 紙漿的重量。 -17- 200906372 又,如第3圖所示,集聚層13c之層厚爲比連續部14 之厚度還短。換言之’於集聚層13c之粉碎紙漿的基重 (每單位體積所含有之粉碎紙漿的重量),爲比連續部14 之基重還低。具體上,於集聚層13c之基重,爲連續部14 的基重之80%以下(較佳爲i〜8〇%,而5〜30%則特別理 想)。又’如前述,於點分布部1 3內形成有空間層1 3 b。 因此,點分布部1 3爲比連續部1 4更低剛性。而,於本實 施形態’如第1圖所示,存在有位於相當於折疊吸收性物 品1時之折線位置的位置之點分布部1 3。亦即,存在有與 吸收性物品1被折疊時所形成的折痕重疊之點分布部1 3。 如此,更低剛性之點分布部1 3重疊於上述折痕,故吸收 性物品1之折疊可容易地進行。又,由於重疊於折痕的點 分布部13之長邊方向(亦即,長圓狀之點分布部13的長 徑方向)爲沿著該折痕,故吸收性物品1之折疊會變得更 容易。 另一方面,由於在點分布部13密集有SAP,故點分 布部13之SAP的體積佔有率,爲比該點分布部13的周圍 (亦即,連續部14)之該體積佔有率還高。又,如前述 般,大致全部之點分布部1 3爲四處點分布於吸收體材料 12的長邊方向端部,故位於吸收體材料12之長邊方向端 部的點分布部1 3之,相對於該長邊方向端部的體積佔有 率,會高於位於長邊方向中央部的點分布部1 3之,相對 於該長邊方向中央部的體積佔有率。又,於有關本實施形 態之吸收體材料1 2內,SAP主要爲配置於點分布部1 3, -18- 200906372 於各點分布部1 3之SAP的體積佔有率(亦即,各點分布 部13內之SAP的充塡率)爲於點分布部1 3之間大致一 定。因此,於上述長邊方向端部,SAP之體積佔有率爲比 上述長邊方向中央部還高。亦即,相對於吸收體材料12 之長邊方向端部的體積之,SAP所占有的空間之比例,會 高於相對於長邊方向端部之體積的該當空間之比例。而, 藉由此等,於上述長邊方向端部,吸濕性優異之上述 SAP,會配置得比上述長邊方向中央部更多。因此,吸收 性物品1中,擋接於穿著者之腹部與臀部的長邊方向端部 側之吸濕力,會比長邊方向中央部側之吸濕力高。只要是 如此之吸收性物品1,則可使其從較易悶熱之上述腹部及 上述臀部的周圍,吸收更多濕氣。其結果,可抑制給予穿 著者起因於悶熱之不適感。 薄頁紙1 1,爲具有透液性,且’網目比S A P之粒子 更細密的薄片’具備有防止S A P漏出於薄頁紙1 1之外側 的功能。再者’上述薄頁紙1 1 ’亦具備有防止集聚之紙漿 纖維脫落於薄頁紙11外側的功能。 於上述般構成之吸收體1 0 ’ SAP會以密集之狀態積留 於點分布部1 3內。亦即,S A P會於點分布部1 3保持液體 並變膨潤。另一方面’被吸收性物品1吸收的液體’在透 過表面薄片20及薄頁紙1 1後,滲透於吸收體材料1 2 內。然後’上述液體,會於集聚狀態之粉碎紙漿內擴散’ 最後被保持在密集於點分布部1 3內的SAP。此時,上述 液體,會從前述之集聚層1 3 c側滲透於點分布部1 3內’ -19- 200906372 並且亦從該點分布部13之周圍滲入。亦即,上述液體會 三次元性地滲透於上述點分布部1 3內。因此,點分布部 13內,會成爲對於密集在該點分布部13內的SAP爲易膨 潤的環境。換言之,液體易於被密集於點分布部1 3內的 SAP捕集,並易於被保持於該當SAP。 <<關於吸收性物品的製造方法> > 其次,關於本實施形態之吸收性物品1的製造方法使 用第4圖來說明。第4圖,爲顯示吸收性物品1之製造流 程之圖。吸收性物品1的製造方法,吸收性物品1之製造 方法,爲具備有:製造吸收體1〇之吸收體製造工序(步 驟)S1 00、及使用由該吸收體製造工序S 1 00所製造的吸 收體10、表面薄片20側邊薄片25、與背面薄片30來製 造吸收性物品1之主要製造工序S200、及將吸收性物品1 作成可包裝狀態之包裝前處理工序 S 3 0 0、以及包裝吸收 性物品1之包裝工序S400。又,於本實施形態,吸收性 物品1之各材料及製造物爲一面藉由輸送帶等之搬送裝置 來搬送,一面實行上述之各工序(步驟)。以下,吸收性 物品1之製造流程中,說明關於吸收體製造工序S100。 <吸收體製造工序> 關於吸收體製造工序S100,使用第5圖乃至第8圖 來說明。第5圖,爲吸收體製造工序S 100之流程圖。第 6圖,爲顯示於吸收體製造工序S100,吸收體10被製造 -20- 200906372 出來的過程之模式圖。第7圖’係顯不作爲用以集聚粉碎 紙漿來形成吸收體材料之基材15而採用的模型之一例的 網格模板4 8之圖。第8圖’係用以說明作爲用來對基材 1 5供給SAP而採用的輥筒之一例的提花輥筒7〇之圖。 又,於第8圖,顯示有提花輥筒70之正面圖(上圖)、 該提花輥筒7〇之A-A’斷面圖(中圖)、以及顯示設置於 該提花輥筒70之外周的凹窪7〇a與設置於基材15的穴部 15a之對應關係之圖(下圖)。 如第5圖所示,吸收體製造工序S 1 00,爲從取得吸 收體材料之基材15的工序S102開始。而,於本實施形 態,基材1 5,爲藉由使粉碎紙漿集聚於第7圖所示之網格 模板4 8內來取得。 網格模板48,爲具備有網狀之底面(於第7圖,考量 圖示之便利性,僅顯示該當底面之一部分爲網狀)的金屬 製之模框。而,設置於網格模板48之外部的吸引裝置 (無圖示),在夾介該網格模板48之底面吸引空氣時, 藉由上述吸引裝置之吸引力,從上述網格模板48之上側 落下來的粉碎紙漿,會被吸入於該網格模板48內。最 後,粉碎紙漿會集聚於網格模板4 8內,並積層至具備有 特定厚度之狀態。該網格模板4 8,具備有對應於前述之吸 收體材料1 2之形狀的形狀。亦即,網格模板4 8具備有在 特定方向較長的外形形狀,如第7圖所示,於該網格模板 48之底部(更正確地說,該當底部之長邊方向兩端部)四 處點分布著大致梯形柱狀的凸部48a。再者,於上述網格 -21 - 200906372 模板48之長邊方向中央部且爲寬幅方向中央部,設置有 用以形成吸收體材料12之厚肉部14a的凹部48b。 藉由使粉碎紙漿集聚於如上述般之構成的網格模板4 8 內,可取得具備有與吸收體材料1 2相同外形形狀的基材 1 5。亦即,藉由模型成形可形成基材1 5 ’故藉由調整模型 形狀,可取得所期望之形狀的基材1 5。亦即,吸收體材料 1 2亦可成形爲所期望之形狀。又,於有關本實施形態之網 格模板4的長邊方向中央且爲位於寬幅方向中央的部分, 設置有用以形成吸收體材料12之厚肉部Ma的凹部48b, 不過並非爲限定於此者。例如,其爲上述網格模板4 8之 長邊方向中央且位於寬幅方向中央的部分爲平坦面,亦可 形成不具上述厚肉部1 4a之扁平狀的吸收體材料之基材 15 ° 又,於基材1 5四處點分布有長圓狀之穴部1 5a (參照 第8圖之下圖)。各穴部1 5 a,爲形成於相當於吸收體材 料1 2之點分布部1 3的位置。如此之穴部1 5a,係藉由設 置於網格模板4 8之底部的凸部4 8 a所形成。亦即,使粉 碎紙漿集聚於網格模板48時,使其避開相當於凸部48a 之部分(換言之,使粉碎紙漿不要進入凸部4 8a內)地集 聚上述粉碎紙漿,其結果,在相當於該當凸部48a之部分 形成有穴部1 5a。又,於本實施形態,上述凸部48a之各 側面係形成爲網狀,不過爲了防止粉碎紙漿進入於穴部 15a內,亦可將凸部48a之各側面藉由膠帶或樹脂等來塞 住網目。又,只要爲具備有平坦底面之網格模板48,亦可 -22- 200906372 作成把藉由橡膠或樹脂等而個別形成之凸部4 8 a安裝於該 網格模板4 8之底面。 關於使用如此之網格模板48取得基材15的包裝工序 S10 2 ’ 一面參照第6圖一面更詳細來說明。網格模板 48’於內藏有上述吸引裝置,並可朝特定回轉方向(第6 圖中,以箭頭顯示之方向)回轉的抽吸輥筒40之外周 上,以該網格模板48之長邊方向沿著抽吸輥筒40的回轉 軸方向之狀態地配置。又,各網格模板4 8,以其開口朝向 外側之狀態地配置。而,藉由上述吸引裝置,抽吸輥筒40 周邊之空氣爲夾介上述網格模板48被持續吸引於抽吸輥 筒40內(亦即,第6圖中,以記號F1顯示之方向),而 網格模板48爲與抽吸輥筒40 —體回轉。另一方面,於抽 吸輥筒40之上側,設置有用以粉碎薄片狀之紙槳(第6 圖中,以記號Ps顯示),並予以開纖的紙漿開纖裝置 42。對於該紙漿開纖裝置42,從紙漿供給輥筒46供給以 薄片狀之紙漿Ps時,於該紙漿開纖裝置42內部,薄片狀 之紙漿被粉碎、開纖而生成粉碎紙漿。然後,如第6圖所 示,生成之粉碎紙漿爲從抽吸輥筒40的上側朝該抽吸輥 筒40側落下,並藉由上述吸引裝置所產生之吸引力’被 捕集於配置在上述抽吸輥筒40之外周上的網格模板48 內。於網格模板4 8內’粉碎紙漿之集聚增加後’伴隨抽 吸輥筒4 0之回轉,網格模板4 8會移動至紙漿刮取機構44 之位置。然後,紙槳刮取機構4 4 ’會在被集聚於網格模板 4 8內的粉碎紙漿中’刮取過分集聚之粉碎紙槳(例如’於 -23- 200906372 網格模板48內積層了特定厚度以上之量的粉碎紙黎)° 根據以上之製程,於網格模板4 8內形成了吸收體材料之 基材1 5。 其後,藉由抽吸輥筒4 0更進一步的回轉’基材1 5及 容納該基材1 5之網格模板4 8到達抽吸輥筒4 0的最下部 時,基材1 5會被從上述網格模板48卸下,而交給其次之 製程。如第6圖所示,於從網格模板4 8卸下的段階’四 處點分布於基材1 5當中的穴部1 5 a,在該基材1 5之厚度 方向沒有從一端側貫通至另一端側,而成爲凹狀之洞穴。 亦即,於本實施形態,在網格模板4 8內集聚粉碎紙漿 時,使上述粉碎紙漿積層於從上述凸部4 8 a之頂上面到比 其僅高出特定高度的更上側的位置爲止之處。藉此,於基 材15之厚度方向的一端面側(集聚粉碎紙漿之時,於網 格模板48之開口側端),存在有具備有平坦表面的粉碎 紙漿之集聚層。又,各上述穴部15a之深度,於穴部間爲 大致相等。又’如第7圖所示,由於網格模板48的凸部 4 8 a之側面爲錐面,故基材丨5可不變形地從網格模板4 8 卸下。 從網格模板48卸下的基材1 5,係被載置於作爲用以 一面吸引該基材1 5 —面載置的吸引台之一例的抽吸輸送 帶60上(S104 )。抽吸輸送帶60係將無圖示之吸引裝置 備置於內部’藉由該當吸引裝置,空氣被吸引於抽吸輸送 帶60內(亦即,第6圖中’以記號F2顯示之方向)。然 後’上述基材1 5,在被上述吸引裝置的吸引力朝向抽吸輸 -24- 200906372 送帶60側吸附之狀態下,被朝向特定之搬送方向(第6 圖中,以箭頭顯示之方向)搬送。又,於抽吸輸送帶60 之載置面上,預先從薄頁紙供給輥筒50供給有連續之帶 狀薄頁紙11,因此上述基材15爲載置於該薄頁紙11上。 亦即,基材1 5,夾介薄頁紙1 1被吸附於抽吸輸送帶6 0 側,並與該薄頁紙1 1 一同被朝向上述搬送方向搬送。 又,由於形成於上述網格模板48內之基材1 5,爲依序被 載置於抽吸輸送帶60上,故於抽吸輸送帶60上,如第6 圖所示,複數個基材1 5爲被隔開間隔地載置。又,於本 實施形態,基材1 5之表面中,作爲吸收性物品1之完成 時,成爲肌膚面側的表面(亦即,成爲平坦之表面),在 與抽吸輸送帶60的載置面相向之狀態下,搬送上述基材 I5。不過,並不限定於此者,亦可作成其成爲上述肌膚面 側之面,在朝向與抽吸輸送帶6 0側爲相反之側(亦即, 上側)的狀態下,搬送上述基材1 5。 其次,對於在抽吸輸送帶60上被搬送的基材15所具 備之穴部15a內供給SAP(S106)。朝向各穴部Ha內之 SAP的供給,係藉由設置於抽吸輸送帶60之吸引裝置、 以及用以對上述各穴部1 5 a內供給S A P而朝向特定之回轉 方向(第6圖中,以箭頭顯示之方向)回轉的提花輥筒7〇 來進行。然後’在基材15通過提花輥筒70之下側時, SAP會從提花輥筒70被供給於上述基材15中之各穴部 1 5 a 內。 詳細說明關於提花輥筒7 0,則如第8圖之上圖所示, -25- 200906372 於該提花輥筒70之外周上四處點分布有用以容納SAP之 圓穴狀的凹窪70a。各凹窪70a,如第8圖之中圖所示’ 爲於提花輥筒之半徑方向具備有一定之深度。而’從 設置於提花輥筒7〇之上側的SAP供給機構7 1朝向上述凹 窪7 0 a內供給S A P後,伴隨提花輥筒7 0之回轉,容納有 SAP的上述凹窪70a會移動於提花輥筒70之下方側。另 一方面,被載置於抽吸輸送帶60之基材15,在該基材15 之長邊方向沿著提花輕筒70之軸方向的狀態下’被朝向 該提花輥筒7〇之下側搬送。然後,如第6圖所示’上述 基材15會通過提花輥筒70之下側,在該基材15的表面 與上述提花輥筒 70之外周(更正確地說,該當外周之 中,配置有容納SAP之凹窪70a的部分〉相向的期間,容 納於上述凹窪7〇a內的SAP,會被上述吸引裝置的吸引力 吸引接近上述基材1 5之各穴部1 5 a內而被供給於該當各 穴部15a內。在此,位於上述提花輥筒70之外周上的上 述凹窪70 a之點分布圖案,如第8圖之上圖及下圖所示, 爲與位於基材1 5中之穴部1 5 a的點分布圖案相對應。因 此,被容納於各凹窪7 0 a的S AP,即爲被供給於位在與該 當各凹窪70a對應之位置的穴部15a內。例如,第8圖之 上圖當中,於提花輥筒70之軸方向,被容納於位在以記 號a顯示之位置的凹窪70a內的SAP,係被供給於基材15 的長邊方向之位於以記號a顯示之位置的穴部1 5 a內。 又,第8圖之上圖當中,位於以上述記號a顯示的位置之 3個凹窪70a中,被容納於位在中央的凹窪70a之SAP, -26- 200906372 係被朝向位於以上述記號a顯示的位置之2個穴部1 5a之 雙方來供給。密集層13a之層厚比穴部15a之深度更短地 如此’相對於在被朝向抽吸輸送帶6 0側吸附之狀態 下的基材15,SAP,會從位於與該基材15之抽吸輸送帶 60相向之面爲相反位置的面(亦即,作爲吸收性物品1之 完成時會成爲相反面側之面)之側,被供給於上述穴部 1 5 a內。此時’穴部1 5 a之抵抗吸引力,由於比上述基材 15中之穴部15a以外的部分(亦即,集聚有粉碎紙漿的部 分)之抵抗吸引力還小很多,故S AP會被集中吸入於穴部 15a內。藉此,SAP會密集於穴部15a內。換言之,於上 述穴部15a內會形成有SAP之密集層13a。又,於本實施 形態,將S AP供給於上述穴部1 5 a時,使上述密集層1 3 a 之層厚比該穴部1 5a之深度更短地供給SAP。具體上,是 使上述密集層13a之層厚,成爲各穴部15a之深度的約 80%以下(較佳爲10〜80%,特別是,於本實施形態爲 20% )地供給SAP。作爲用以實現如此之SAP供給的具體 方法者,例如,可考慮調整上述提花輥筒70之凹窪70a 的外徑等等以調整容納於該凹窪70a的SAP之量,或調整 供給SAP時之朝向抽吸輸送帶60側吸附基材1 5的吸引 壓。又,供給SAP時之上述吸引壓,爲使收納於提花輥筒 70之凹窪70a的SAP被吸入於各上述穴部15a,另一方 面,從基材15中之與各上述穴部15a鄰接的部分,使集 聚於該當部分之粉碎紙漿不會脫離地調整。 如上述般地供給SAP於穴部1 5a,其結果,可從基材 -27- 200906372 15形成吸收體材料12。亦即’使上述密集層13a之層厚 短於基材1 5之穴部1 5 a之深度地’將SAP供給於穴部 15a時,則於穴部15a內會形成SAP之密集層13a、及空 間層1 3 b。再者,集聚於穴部1 5 a之下側的粉碎紙漿之層 則成爲集聚層1 3 c。藉此’於基材1 5之設置有上述穴部 1 5 a的部分,形成有吸收體材料1 2之點分布部1 3 °又’ 上述基材1 5之穴部1 5 a以外的部分則成爲吸收體材料1 2 之連續部1 4。 從基材1 5形成吸收體材料1 2後,位於該吸收體材料 1 2與抽吸輸送帶6 0之間的薄頁紙1 1 ’會以包住該吸收體 材料12之方式屈曲,並覆蓋該吸收體材料12(S108)。 於本實施形態,爲了使薄頁紙1 1屈曲’而於抽吸輸送帶 60之表面設置有薄頁紙屈曲部62,薄頁紙11,爲在通過 該當薄頁紙屈曲部62之時屈曲,並覆蓋上述吸收體材料 12。此時,位於薄頁紙11之寬幅方向(與搬送方向交叉 之方向)的端部,由於會在吸收體材料1 2之上面側互相 重合並接著一起,故薄頁紙11成爲筒狀。 其次,爲了將薄頁紙11與吸收體材料1 2 —體化,把 被該薄頁紙π覆蓋之狀態的吸收體材料1 2 (亦即,吸收 體10)的特定部分予以壓縮,而於該當特定部分施以形成 吸收體壓花之吸收體壓花加工(s 1 1 0 )。於本實施形態, 所謂特定部分,如前述般,是指其爲連續部14且包圍各 點分布部1 3之包圍部1 Ob。吸收體壓花加工’係藉由通過 其爲上下相向之2個輥筒(無圖示〉之間來實行。例如, -28- 200906372 於下側之輥筒上,在吸收體材料1 2被搬送時,於擋接於 使其形成吸收體壓花的區域之部位,形成有特定形狀之突 起,而相向之上側的輥筒之表面則形成平坦狀。藉由被薄 頁紙1 1包住的吸收體材料1 2,通過上述2個輥筒之間, 上述突起會將薄葉紙1 1與吸收體材料1 2 —同壓縮。薄頁 紙1 1及吸收體材料1 2則藉由被突起壓縮並形成有複數個 吸收體壓花而一體化。又,於本實施形態,吸收體壓花加 工,爲在吸收體10當中,避開相當於上述點分布部13之 部分來施行。此爲,如前述般,點分布部1 3係比連續部 14更低剛性,且,於該點分布部1 3內形成有空間層 13b,因此相當於該點分布部13的部分若被上述突起壓 縮,則薄頁紙1 1會破損之故。 其後,被一體化之薄頁紙1 1及吸收體材料1 2 (亦 即,吸收體1 0 ),會沿著吸收體材料1 2之外形形狀被吸 收體裁刀80裁切(S112)。而,當上述之各包裝工序 (S 1 0 2〜S 1 1 2 )完成時,吸收體製造工序 S 1 0 0亦隨之結 束。 ===關於本實施形態之吸收性物品的有效性=== 本實施形態之吸收性物品1,係以具備有:具有四處 點分布之點分布部1 3的吸收體材料1 2爲特徵的吸收性物 品;上述點分布部13爲具備有SAP密集之密集層13a、 以及於上下方向與上述密集層13a鄰接之空間層13b。藉 此,可在吸收性物品1內’抑制起因於SAP之膨潤所發生 -29- 200906372 的隆起,可防止該吸收性物品1給予穿著者異物感。 亦即,如先行技術之項的說明,於以往之吸收性物 品,SAP爲於吸收體材料1 2中,係以平面狀並大致均等 地存在著。特別是,SAP在吸收性物品之肌膚面側以層狀 存在之場合,該當SAP保持了被吸收性物品吸收之液體而 膨潤時,膨潤之SAP彼此會結合,而妨礙了上述液體朝向 相反面側(亦即,吸收性物品之下方側)之移動。其結 果,被吸收之液體滯留於吸收體材料1 2之肌膚面側,於 該當肌膚面側,變得液體不易被吸收,而產生了吸收性物 品之吸收力降低的問題。 作爲對於如此問題之解決策之一例者,想到可使SAP 於吸收體材料之肌膚面側不用大致均等地存在,例如,使 存在SAP之區域四處點分布於吸收體材料中,於該當區域 使SAP密集。藉此,即使是吸收性物品吸收多量之液體 時,被吸收的液體也不會在吸收體材料之肌膚面側滯留, 於該吸收體材料內易於擴散,其結果,可維持上述吸收性 物品之吸收力。 如此,根據使其維持吸收性物品的吸收力之觀點,調 整位於吸收體材料中之S AP的配置變得很重要。不過,於 點分布之區域內SAP過度密集時(例如,於該當區域內充 滿SAP時)’於吸收性物品會產生新的課題。亦即,於點 分布區域內充滿SAP時,該當SAP保持液體因而膨潤 時,該當區域會朝向吸收體材料1 2之外側隆起。藉此, 吸收性物品之,相當於該當區域的部分會隆起,其結果, -30- 200906372 會有給予該吸收性物品穿著者異物感之虞。 於本實施形態之吸收性物品1,亦於吸收體材料1 2中 四處點分布有S AP密集之點分布部1 3。因此,被吸收性 物品1吸收的液體會於吸收體材料1 2內(特別是,連續 部1 4內)擴散’即使吸收性物品1吸收多量之液體時, 該吸收性物品1之吸收力也會被維持。 而另一方面,於點分布部13內,SAP之密集層13a, 爲與作爲相對於SAP之膨潤的空間性餘裕之空間層1 3b鄰 接。亦即,即使SAP膨潤之時,亦可將該當膨潤所引起之 S A P的體積增加,抑制阻止於空間層丨3 b內。藉此,可抑 制點分布部1 3朝上下方向(亦即,吸收體材料1 2之厚度 方向)隆起。其結果,可抑制相當於吸收性物品1之點分 布部1 3的部分之隆起的發生,故亦可防止吸收性物品1 給予穿著者異物感。 又,於點分布部1 3,與該點分布部1 3之周圍比較, 由於SAP量更多,且,具備更多上述空間性餘裕,故該點 分布部13,會成爲積極吸收因發汗等而籠滯於穿著者肌膚 與吸收性物品1間的濕氣之吸濕部分。亦即,藉由本實施 形態具備有點分布部1 3之點,不僅能抑制吸收性物品1 之隆起的發生,防止給予穿著者異物感,且於吸收性物品 1吸收多量之液體使時,該吸收性物品1之吸收力亦得以 維持,再者,可提高該吸收性物品1之吸濕性。 又,於有關本實施形態之吸收性物品1,由於s A P之 密集層1 3 a,爲位於上述肌膚面側及上述相反面側中之上 -31 - 200906372 述相反面側,故該當吸收性物品1,具備有以下之優勢。 亦即,如前述般,S A P若保持被吸收性物品吸收的液 體而膨潤時,膨潤之S A P會彼此結合,而發生妨礙上述液 體朝向相反面側移動之現象。其結果,被吸收之液體會滯 留於吸收體材料1 2之肌膚面側,液體於該當肌膚面側變 得不易被吸收,會產生吸收性物品1之吸收力降低的問 題。於有關本實施形態之吸收性物品1,由於具備有S A P 密集之點分布部13,故前述般,不易發生有關該現象,不 過有發生該當現象之可能性。而,藉由SAP之密集層13a 位於上述相反面側,即使產生該當現象亦可抑制吸收力之 降低。 亦即,假使在SAP之密集層1 3 a爲位於肌膚面側之場 合,而該當現象發生時,相較於該當密集層13a,位於相 反面側的粉碎紙漿或S AP的吸收力即使更具餘裕,液體亦 無法到達該處,故不能適切進行液體之吸收。相對於此, 在SAP之密集層1 3a位於相反面側之場合,即使發生該當 現象,相較於密集層1 3 a,位於肌膚面側的粉碎紙漿或 SAP之吸收力更能被適切發揮,故吸收力不太會降低,因 此,液體之吸收會適切地進行。 ===其他之實施形態=== 以上,基於上述實施形態,主要說明了有關本發明的 吸收性物品,及吸收性物品的製造方法,不過上述發明之 實施形態,係用以更容易理解本發明而作成者,並非限定 -32- 200906372 本發明者。本發明,只要不逸脫該趣旨,則得以變更、改 良’並且於本發明當然包含該等價物。特別是,本發明之 實施形態’非爲被限定於上述之說明中所記載之數値,或 是’各材料之材質者。例如,於上述實施形態,作爲吸收 性纖維之一例已說明了粉碎紙漿,作爲其他之吸收性纖 維’亦可採用棉質等之纖維素、嫘縈或原纖維嫘縈等之再 生纖維素、乙酸酯或三乙酸酯等之半合成纖維素、纖維狀 聚合物、熱可塑性疏水性化學纖維等。又,於吸收體材料 1 2中,除了紙漿纖維或SAP之外,亦可密集粒狀消臭 材、粒狀抗菌材、粒狀冷卻材等。再者,於上述實施形 態,作爲覆蓋構件之一例已說明纖維紙等之薄頁紙1 1,不 過作爲其他之覆蓋構件,亦可採用由棉質等之纖維素、嫘 縈或原纖維嫘縈等之再生纖維素、乙酸酯或三乙酸酯等之 半合成纖維素、纖維狀聚合物、熱可塑性疏水性化學纖維 等所形成的織布或不織布。 又,於上述實施形態,爲考量說明之便利性,已說明 了關於吸收體10在寬幅方向之中央具備有1個吸收體材 料1 2之構成,不過並非限於此者。例如,亦可作成在吸 收體1 〇之寬幅方向的兩端部,分別沿著長邊方向具備有 側部吸收體之構成。又,代替側部吸收體,亦可作成分別 在上述兩端部具備有立體褶邊之構成。再者,於上述實施 形態,吸收性物品1爲折疊成三折狀。亦即,關於在吸收 性物品1存在有二處折線位置之場合業已說明,不過並非 爲被限定於此者。例如,吸收性物品1亦可折疊成四折 -33- 200906372 狀。 又’於上述實施形態,點分布部13爲四處點分布於 吸收體材料1 2的長邊方向兩端部,但沒有存在於中央 部,不過並不限定於此者,點分布部13亦可存在於長邊 方向中央部。 又’於上述實施形態,點分布部1 3 ’係於被吸收體材 料12之長邊方向及寬幅方向所規範之平面上形成長圓 狀,不過,亦可爲圓形、方形、三角形等,並非爲被限定 於長圓狀者。 又,於上述實施形態,在點分布部13的周圍,集聚 有以粉碎紙漿爲首之吸收性纖維,不過並非爲被限定於此 者。例如,於點分布部1 3的周圍亦可不集聚上述吸收性 纖維。具體上,上述點分布部1 3亦可被非透液性之材料 包圍。不過,在點分布部13之周圍集聚吸收性纖維之場 合’如前述般,被吸收性物品1吸收的液體會三次元性地 滲透於點分布部1 3內。其結果,點分布部1 3內,對於密 集於該點分布部13的SAP而言,成爲易於捕集上述液體 而膨潤之環境。因此,於點分布部1 3內,具備有作爲相 對於SAP之膨潤的空間性餘裕之空間層丨3b的構成,成爲 更有意義者。基於有關此點,以上述實施形態爲較佳。 又’於上述貫施形態,點分布部1 3爲三層構造,除 了上述密'集層13a及上述空間層13b之外,還有粉碎紙槊 集聚之集聚層13c備置於上述吸收體材料12之肌膚面 側。但是,並不限定於此者’例如,如第9圖所示,點分 -34- 200906372 布部13爲二層構造,亦可爲僅具備有上述密集層13a及 上述空間層13b之構成。第9圖,爲顯示具備有密集層 13a及空間層13b之二層構造的點分布部13之圖。不過, 在點分布部13內備置有集聚層13c之場合,於該點分布 部1 3內,具備有作爲相對於SAP之膨潤的空間性餘裕之 空間層1 3b的構成變成更有意義者。具體地說明,則爲在 集聚層13c與密集層l3a鄰接之場合,該密集層13a中之 SAP若膨潤時,集聚層1 3c內之粉碎紙漿會被擠壓出來而 該集聚層1 3 c會隆起。其結果,於吸收性物品1產生隆 起,而有給予該吸收性物品1之穿著者異物感之虞。相對 於此,如上述實施形態般,只要爲於集聚層1 3 c與密集層 1 3 a之間夾介有空間層的構成,則即使SAP膨潤,起因於 該當膨潤之SAP的體積增加可抑制阻止於空間層內。其結 果,可抑制集聚層1 3 c之隆起,亦即,抑制吸收性物品1 之隆起的發生。基於有關此點,以上述實施形態爲較佳。 又,爲了形成具備有二層構造之點分布部13的吸收 體材料1 2,例如,只要在網格模板48內集聚粉碎紙漿來 形成基材1 5時,藉由前述紙漿刮取機構44刮取積層於網 格模板4 8之凸部4 8 a上的粉碎紙漿即可。於有關此時, 從肌膚面側貫通至相反面側爲止的穴部1 5 a爲形成於基材 15內。亦即,於上述穴部15a之底部’不存在相當於位於 點分布部1 3內的集聚層1 3 c之部分。因此’對該穴部1 5 a 供給S A P時,於該穴部1 5 a會形成二層構造之點分布部 -35- 13。 200906372 又,於上述實施形態,爲作成空間層1 3 b之層厚比密 集層13a之層厚還長,不過並非爲被限定於此者。例如’ 空間層13b之層厚亦可比密集層13a之層厚還短。不過’ 在空間層13b之層厚比密集層13a之層厚還長之場合,可 於點分布部1 3內確保更多相對於SAP之膨潤的空間性餘 裕。因此,可更有效地發揮抑制吸收性物品1之隆起的發 生之效果。再者,SAP變得易於膨潤,其結果,即使吸收 性物品1吸收了多量之液體,亦可維持該吸收性物品1之 吸收力。基於以上之點,以上述實施形態爲較佳。 又,於上述實施形態,已說明關於具備有作爲覆蓋吸 收體材料1 2之覆蓋構件的薄頁紙1 1之情形,但並非爲限 定於此者,例如,吸收體材料1 2亦可不被覆蓋。不過, 吸收體材料1 2被覆蓋之場合,可防止密集於點分布部i 3 內的SAP流出於點分布部丨3外。基於有關此點,以上述 實施形態爲較佳。 又,於上述實施形態’已說明關於S A P主要爲配置於 點分布部1 3內之構成。亦即,於上述實施形態,s A P爲 集中供給於吸收體材料之基材1 5所具備的穴部丨5 a之場 合業已說明。不過’並不限定於此者,除了穴部丨5 a之 外’亦可考慮對基材1 5之穴部丨5 a以外的部分供給s A P 之場合(以下’稱第一變形例)。以下,關於第一變形 例’一面第參照10圖及第11圖一面具體說明。第10 圖’爲顯示有關此第一變形例之吸收體製造工序sl0〇的 樣態之模式圖,且爲對應於第6圖之圖。第丨丨圖,爲顯 -36- 200906372 示有關此第一變形例之吸收體材料1 2及吸收體1 〇之圖, 並顯示供給有SAP之段階的吸收體材料1 2 (上圖)、以 及安裝於吸收性物品1之段階的吸收體1 0 (下圖)。又, 於第1 1圖,以箭頭顯示上下方向(亦即,吸收體材料1 2 或吸收體10之厚度方向)。 於有關此第一變形例之吸收體製造工序S 1 00,如第 1 〇圖所示,沒有採用提花輥筒70,作爲供給SAP於基材 1 5之其他機構,採用了 S A P給料機7 2。該S A P給料機7 2 係具備有錐狀之底部,並藉由從該底部將SAP投下,而將 該當S AP供給於上述基材1 5之穴部1 5 a者。然後,在藉 由抽吸輸送帶60朝搬送方向被搬送的基材15,通過SAP 給料機72之下側時,SAP從該SAP給料機72的底部,被 供給於基材15之上表面(基材15之表面當中,與SAP給 料機72相向之側的面)的全區域。又,此時,基材1 5之 表面當中,作爲吸收性物品1完成之際,成爲肌膚面側之 面會與抽吸輸送帶60之載置面相向。其結果,如第1 1圖 之上圖所示,除了穴部15a內之外,基材15之上表面上 亦配置有SAP。又,與本案例同樣地,於SAP之供給時, 對於基材1 5作用有拉近於抽吸輸送帶60側的吸引力。 而,於基材1 5之穴部1 5 a的抵抗吸引力,由於比該基材 1 5中之穴部1 5 a以外的部分之抵抗吸引力還小許多,故於 穴部15a內,會被供給更多量之SAP。另一方面,如第11 圖之上圖所示,於上述基材15之上表面,SAP會層狀地 堆積。 -37- 200906372 藉由如上述般之供給方法,對上述基材15之穴部15a 供給S AP時,可從上述基材1 5形成有吸收體材料1 2,又 於被薄頁紙1 1覆蓋之狀態下安裝於吸收性物品1中。其 結果’如第1 1圖之下圖所示,在吸收性物品1之相反面 側’於吸收體材料1 2 (更正確地說,爲連續部1 4 )與薄 頁紙11之間配置有層狀之SAP。又,在吸收體材料12的 肌膚面側之表面朝向下側期間(亦即,從吸收體製造工序 S100到包裝前處理工序S3 00爲止之期間),於點分布部 1 3內’ SAP之密集層1 3a爲存在於肌膚面側,不過吸收性 物品1表背顛倒,而上述肌膚面側之表面朝向上側時,上 述密集層1 3 a會於上述點分布部1 3內成爲相反面側。藉 此,如第1 1圖之下圖所示,SAP變得被配置於吸收體1 0 之相反面側的表面全區域。只要爲如此之構成,可將更多 量之液體保持於吸收性物品1內。 以上,說明了關於藉由SAP給料機72把SAP供給於 基材15的整體表面之例,不過基於把特定量的的SAP適 切地供給於特定的供給對象之點,以使用提花輥筒70將 SAP集中地朝基材1 5之穴部1 5a內供給較爲理想。又, 於吸收體1 〇之相反面側的表面全區域配置SAP之構成, 如第1 2圖所示,亦可適用於其吸收體材料1 2之點分布部 13爲二層構造之場合。第12圖,爲對應於第11圖之圖 面,且爲顯示關於在吸收體1〇之相反面側的表面全區域 配置SAP之構成的其他之適用例之圖。 又,於上述實施形態,設置於提花輥筒70的凹窪70a -38- 200906372 爲圓穴狀之凹窪,且提花輥筒70之凹窪70a的點分布圖 案,與基材15之穴部15a的點分布圖案爲彼此對應。但 是’並不限定於此者’例如’各凹窪70b,如第13圖所 示,亦可配合基材15之各穴部15a的形狀作成長圓狀。 第13圖,爲顯示提花輥筒70之凹窪70b的變形例之圖。 於各凹窪70b之形狀爲長圓狀之場合,會有從凹窪70b之 各部分供給出來的SAP量不均等之情形。例如,於長圓狀 之各凹窪70b,會有其從長徑方向端部供給來的SAP量, 與從長徑方向中央部供給來的SAP量爲不同之情形。相對 此於,其爲圓穴狀之凹窪7〇a之場合,由於從該凹窪70a 之各部供給來的SAP量較均等,故SAP會被均等供給於 基材15之各穴部15a。如上述般,基於SAP會適切地被 供給於各穴部1 5 a內之點,以上述實施形態爲較佳。 又,於上述實施形態,將S A P供給於穴部1 5 a時,在 基材15藉由設置於抽吸輸送帶60的吸引裝置之吸引,被 吸附於該抽吸輸送帶60側的狀態下,從該基材1 5之上面 側供給S AP。但是,並不限定於此者,亦可作成把基材1 5 載置於不具吸引裝置的輸送帶上。不過,吸引裝置對於基 材1 5付以吸引力之場合,於基材1 5之穴部1 5 a的抵抗吸 引力,由於爲比上述基材15之穴部15a以外的部分之抵 抗吸引力還小許多,故SAP易於被吸入穴部15a內。亦 即,只要爲上述實施形態,則可更容易地供給S AP於穴部 1 5 a內。基於有關此點,則以上述實施形態爲較佳。 又,設置於上述網格模板48的各凸部48a之形狀及 -39- 200906372 尺寸等’亦可因該當各凸部48a之配置位置而有不同。例 如’吸收體材料1 2中,於施有深溝壓花加工的部分(亦 即’形成有深溝部20a的部分)設置點分布部1 3之場 合’係以設置於上述網格模板4 8的凸部4 8 a中,把形成 該當點分布部13的凸部48a之頂面的位置,做得比其他 之凸部4 8 a的頂面之位置更低較爲理想。於有關此時,即 使在施有深溝壓花加工的位置設置點分布部1 3,亦可適切 地施行深溝壓花加工。具體地說明,則爲設置於施有深溝 壓花加工的位置之點分布部丨3的粉碎紙漿之密集狀態, 若比該點分布部1 3的周圍之該密集狀態小很多,則於施 行深溝壓花加工時,會有表面薄片2〇從吸收體材料1 2之 表面浮出 '破損之虞。相對於此,在設置於網格模板48 的凸部48a中,只要把形成設置於施有深溝壓花加工的位 置上的點分布部1 3之凸部4 8 a的頂面之位置,做得比其 他之凸部4 8 a的頂面之位置還低,則集聚層丨3 c之厚度會 變更厚。藉此,可調整吸收體材料1 2中,該當點分布部 1 3所在位置之部分的剛性,故即使於施有深溝壓花加工的 ίϋ置設置點分布部1 3,亦可適切地施行深溝壓花加工。 又’作爲調整點分布部1 3所在位置之部分的剛性之其他 方法者’例如’可考慮調整上述集聚層1 3 c之粉碎紙漿的 基重等。 又’於上述實施形態’作爲取得吸收體材料的基材j 5 之工序S 1 02 ’已說明了關於使粉碎紙漿集聚於網格模板 4 8之工序(以下,亦稱爲本案例)之。不過,並不限定於 -40- 200906372 此者,作爲取得上述基材1 5的其他方法者,例如,亦可 考慮備一紙漿纖維及熱可塑性纖維(兩者皆爲吸收性纖 維,以下,將兩者一倂簡單稱爲纖維)所積層之薄片,於 該當薄片施行用以設置穴部15a之加工的場合(以下,第 二變形例)。以下,一面參照第14圖A乃至第14圖D, 一面具體說明關於第二變形例。第14圖A乃至第14圖 D,爲用以說明從上述薄片(以下,亦稱氣流成型薄片, 於第14圖A,以記號P 1顯示)取得吸收體材料之基材 15,並使用該基材15取得吸收體1〇的過程之圖。又,第 14圖A乃至第14圖D,分別放大顯示有,相當於穴部 1 5a的部分(或,相當於點分布部1 3的部分)。 爲了取得吸收體材料之基材15,而使用第14圖A所 示之氣流成型薄片的場合,爲於配合基材1 5之外形形狀 將上述氣流成型薄片裁斷後,在該氣流成型薄片之,形成 有穴部1 5 a的部分施以壓著壓花加工。所謂壓著壓花加 工,係與前述之付溝壓花加工或吸收體壓花加工相同,爲 使其通過於上下彼此相向的2個輥筒間,並藉由設置在一 方的輥筒之突起,將上述氣流成型薄片壓縮而形成壓花之 加工。如第14圖B所示,於施有壓著壓花加工的部分形 成有穴部15a,於該穴部15a之底部,在壓著壓花加工之 實施前,形成有其纖維經高密度化之高密度層1 5 b。藉由 如上述般方法,可從上述氣流成型薄片取得基材1 5。又, 於本變形例,在壓著壓花加工之實施前,即已裁斷氣流成 型薄片,不過亦可於壓著壓花加工之實施後裁斷。 -41 - 200906372 然後,由氣流成型薄片所形成的基材15,在被載置於 搬送裝置上之狀態下被朝向搬送方向搬送的期間,SAP被 供給於上述基材15之穴部15a。又,搬送基材15時,基 材1 5之表面當中,在作爲吸收性物品1完成之際其成爲 肌膚面側之面爲朝向上側。又,於第二變形例,爲與本案 例之情形不同,於搬送裝置之載置面上並無供給帶狀之薄 頁紙1 1,基材1 5爲在與上述載置面接觸之狀態下被朝向 搬送方向搬送。然後,SAP被供給於穴部15a時,於該穴 部15a內會形成有具有SAP之密集層13a及空間層13b的 點分布部1 3,而形成有第1 4圖C所示之吸收體材料1 2。 又,形成於穴部1 5a之底部的高密度層1 5b,其吸收性物 品1之肌膚面位於比相反面更上側時,會於點分布部13 內與SAP之密集層13a鄰接,而成爲用以防止該SAP從 吸收體材料1 2的相反面側朝向點分布部1 3外流出之流出 防止層13d。又,於本案例,上述搬送裝置爲抽吸輸送帶

D之各圖,係關於在氣流成型薄片中使穴部1 5 a形成的其 他方法之說明圖。 該當方法,爲從準備一使其配合基材1 5之外形形狀 並被裁斷之氣流成型薄片(第1 5圖A所示之狀態的氣流 成型薄片)開始。而,使用如嚙入壓花加工般之金屬模型 等,把設置有該氣流成型薄片之穴部1 5a的部分予以擠壓 出來,使該當部分凹陷之凹凸加工,施加於該氣流成型薄 片。藉此,如第15圖B所示,於氣流成型薄片設置有穴 部15a,而取得基材15。其後,供給SAP於穴部15a,則 形成有吸收體材料1 2 (參照第1 5圖C),再者,該吸收 體材料12之肌膚面側的表面被薄頁紙11覆蓋,吸收體1 0 至此完成(參照第1 5圖D )。在此,由於上述穴部1 5 a -43- 200906372 係藉由折曲氣流成型薄片而形成,故與壓著壓花加工之場 合不同,於上述穴部15a之底部積層之纖維沒有被高密度 化,上述穴部之底部的纖維之密集狀態爲與當初準備之氣 流成型薄片的該密集狀態大致相同。不過,於氣流成型薄 片,纖維是以SAP不會漏出之程度密集在一起,故上述穴 部15a之底部在點分布部13內成爲流出防止層13d。 又,於第二變形例,爲使用了紙漿纖維及熱可塑性纖 維所積層的氣流成型薄片,不過,亦可使用其在纖維中混 合存在有SAP之氣流成型薄片。有關此時,該當氣流成型

Description of the Invention [Technical Field of the Invention] The present invention relates to an absorbent article and a method of producing the absorbent article. In particular, it relates to an absorbent article comprising an absorbent material having a highly absorbent resin, and a method for producing the absorbent article. [Prior Art] It is known that the absorbent article of the absorbent material having a highly absorbent resin is well known. Such an absorbent article is a high-absorbent resin that is held in the absorbent body material by a liquid that is absorbed by the absorbent article by a specific liquid that absorbs menstrual blood or the like. Further, in the above-mentioned absorbent article, in order to appropriately absorb the liquid, it is distributed in a region where the absorbent material is densely packed with a highly absorbent resin (see Japanese Patent Publication No. Hei 9-504207). SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [Technical Problem to be Solved by the Invention] However, a superabsorbent resin has a property of swelling while retaining a liquid, and therefore, it may be swollen by a highly absorbent resin, and an absorbent article is equivalent to high absorption. Concerns about the partial uplift of the resin-intensive area. Furthermore, the bulging that occurs in the absorbent article imparts a foreign body sensation to the wearer of the absorbent article. The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and it is an object of the present invention to suppress the occurrence of bulging caused by swelling of the cartridge absorbent resin in the absorbent article 200906372. [Means for Solving the Problems] In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention is mainly directed to an absorbent article comprising: an absorbent material having a longitudinal direction, a wide width direction, and a thickness direction, characterized in that the absorbent body The material is provided with a dense layer in which a highly absorbent resin is dense, and a space layer adjacent to the dense layer in the thickness direction described above, and a dot distribution portion which is distributed at four points. Other features of the present invention will be apparent from the description of the specification and the drawings. [Embodiment] In the present specification and drawings, at least the following items are disclosed. First, an absorbent article comprising: an absorbent material having a longitudinal direction, a wide direction, and a thickness direction, wherein the absorbent material is formed of a water absorbent fiber and a superabsorbent resin, and It is provided with a dense layer in which a highly absorbent resin is densely formed, and a space layer adjacent to the dense layer in the thickness direction described above, and a dot distribution portion which is distributed at four points. In the absorbent article, the space portion in which the superabsorbent resin is densely packed is provided with a space layer which is a space margin with respect to swelling of the superabsorbent resin. That is, even when the superabsorbent resin is swollen, the increase in the volume of the superabsorbent resin due to the swelling can be prevented from staying in the space layer. Thereby, it is possible to suppress the swell of the absorbent article in the portion corresponding to the point distribution portion where the high absorption -6 - 200906372 resin is dense. Further, the absorbent fibers may be collected around the dot distribution portion, and the dot distribution portion may be provided in the thickness direction 'opposite side of the space layer adjacent to the dense layer. The layer of the agglomerated layer in which the above-mentioned absorbent fibers are adjacent to each other, and the layer thickness of the space layer is longer than the layer thickness of the dense layer. In the absorbent article according to this configuration, the liquid absorbed by the absorbent article penetrates into the dot distribution portion by the absorbent fibers densely surrounding the dot distribution portion. In other words, in order to allow the liquid to permeate into the dot distribution portion three-dimensionally, the high-absorbent resin densely distributed in the dot distribution portion is an environment which is easy to swell. Therefore, the configuration of the present invention in which the spatial margin of swelling of the superabsorbent resin can be secured in the dot distribution portion becomes more significant. Further, in the point distribution portion, when the accumulation layer and the dense layer are adjacent to each other in the thickness direction, if the superabsorbent resin in the dense layer is swollen, the absorbent fibers in the accumulation layer are extruded, and the accumulation layer is formed. Thus bulging. As a result, the absorbent article is embossed, and the wearer of the absorbent article is given a foreign body sensation. On the other hand, when a space layer is interposed between the accumulation layer and the dense layer, even if the superabsorbent resin in the dense layer is swollen, the volume of the superabsorbent resin due to swelling can be increased, and the inhibition can be prevented. In the space layer, the bulging of the above-mentioned accumulation layer can be suppressed, that is, the occurrence of the bulging of the absorbent article can be suppressed. Further, in the absorbent article having such a configuration, since a larger space margin in the dot distribution portion is secured, the swelling of the absorbent article which is caused by the swelling of the absorbent resin of the high-7-200906372 can be more effectively exhibited. The effect that occurred. Further, the absorbent article is a sanitary napkin that is used in contact with the body of the wearer and the underwear, and includes a surface sheet that is in contact with the skin side of the wearer's body. And the back sheet of the absorbent article which is in contact with the opposite side of the undergarment, and an absorbent body interposed between the surface sheet and the back sheet and containing the absorbent material; the dense layer may also be formed. It is located on the opposite side of the skin surface side and the opposite surface side. In this case, even if the swelled superabsorbent resin is bonded to each other to prevent the liquid from moving toward the opposite side, the absorption force of the absorbent fiber or the superabsorbent resin located closer to the skin side than the dense layer is obtained. It will be properly applied, so the absorption will not be lowered, so the absorption of the liquid will be appropriate. Further, the absorbent article has a longitudinal direction, a wide direction, and a thickness direction, and the point distribution portion of the end portion of the absorbent article in the direction along the longitudinal direction may be opposite to the end The volume occupying ratio of the portion is higher than the volume distribution portion of the center portion in the central portion of the absorbent article in the direction along the longitudinal direction. In this case, the superabsorbent resin having excellent hygroscopicity at the end portion is disposed more than the central portion. Therefore, in the absorbent article, the moisture absorbing force that is in contact with the end side of the abdomen and the buttocks of the wearer is higher than the moisture absorption force at the center portion side. As long as it is such an absorbent article, it can absorb more -8 - 200906372 moisture from the above-mentioned abdomen and the above-mentioned buttocks which are more sultry. As a result, it is possible to suppress the discomfort caused to the wearer due to sultry heat. In the case of the absorbent material comprising the absorbent fibers and the superabsorbent resin, the absorbent material is provided with a dense layer having the high-absorbency resin and distributed at four points. The method for producing an absorbent article according to the distribution portion, comprising: a first step of obtaining a base material having the absorbent body material having a cavity portion at a position corresponding to the dot distribution portion, and The second step of supplying the dense layer in the hole portion, and supplying the high-absorbent resin to the hole portion, in the second step, supplying the layer thickness of the dense layer to a height shorter than the depth of the hole portion Absorbent resin. According to this production method, it is possible to provide an absorbent material which can suppress the occurrence of bulging of the absorbent article which is caused by swelling of the superabsorbent resin. Further, the absorbent fiber having the above-mentioned base material may be formed in the first step 'by accumulating the absorbent fiber in a convex portion having a bottom portion and at a point distribution portion corresponding to the bottom portion. In the model, the above substrate is obtained. According to this manufacturing method, the absorbent material of a desired shape can be easily obtained. Further, in the second step, a roll that is configured to be rotatable and has a recess for accommodating the high-absorbent resin may be used, and the substrate may pass through the lower side of the roll, and the substrate may be While the surface faces the outer circumference of the roll, the superabsorbent resin accommodated in the recess is supplied from the recess to the hole. -9- 200906372 According to this manufacturing method, since a certain amount of superabsorbent resin is supplied to the inside of the cavity portion, a suitable amount of the superabsorbent resin in the cavity portion can be supplied. === In this embodiment, the absorbent article is about === <<Overall Structure of Absorbent Article> First, as an example of the absorbent article of the present embodiment, an example of a sanitary napkin (hereinafter referred to as an absorbent article 1) is described as the absorbent article 1. The configuration example will be described using Fig. 1 . Fig. 1 is a schematic plan view of the absorbent article 1. In Fig. 1, the longitudinal direction and the wide direction of the absorbent article 1 are indicated by arrows. In the following description, in the surface of the absorbent article 1, the surface of the absorbent article 1 which is in contact with the wearer's body is the skin surface, and the surface which is in contact with the underwear is the opposite side. Further, in the longitudinal direction of the absorbent article 1, the end on the front side (abdominal side) of the wearer is used as the front end, and the end on the rear side (hip side) is used as the rear end. The surface of the skin of the absorbent article 1 is displayed. The absorbent article 1 has a shape that is longer in a specific direction as shown in Fig. 1. The absorbent article 1 is provided with a liquid for absorbing menstrual blood or the like. The substantially rectangular-shaped absorbent body 10 and the liquid-permeable surface sheet 20 that covers the surface of the skin surface side of the absorbent body 10 and the skin surface side of the absorbent body 1 are disposed on the absorbent body 10 The side sheet 25 on both end sides in the wide direction and the back sheet 30 provided on the opposite side of the absorber 10. -10- 200906372 The absorbent article 1 thus constructed is from the absorbent article 1 The portion from the front end portion to the rear end portion in the longitudinal direction is attached to the body of the wearer from the abdomen to the buttocks. Further, the absorbent article 1 is foldable along the longitudinal direction. And when packaged into a product, it is at a specific fold line position ( In the figure, the state in which it is folded (indicated by the two-dotted line) is folded (that is, in the state of three folds). Specifically, there are two fold positions in the absorbent article 1 of the present embodiment. Then, the fold line is present. When the position is folded, the absorbent article is in a state of being three-folded, and a crease along the width direction of the absorbent article 1 is formed at the position of the fold line. Further, in the present embodiment, the crease is absorbed. The longitudinal direction of the sexual article 1 distinguishes the boundary between the distal end portion, the central portion, and the rear end portion. That is, in the longitudinal direction of the absorbent article 1, the portion on the distal end side of the fold line position on the distal end side is the distal end portion. The portion located on the rear end side of the fold line position on the rear end side is the rear end portion, and the portion located between the two fold line positions is the center portion. Thereby, if the absorbent article 1 is loaded, the center portion will be Blocking the femoral condyle (the peripheral portion of the wearer's menstrual blood discharge opening), the front end portion is blocked from one end of the femoral condyle to the abdomen, and the rear end portion is from the other end of the femoral condyle The part is blocked from the buttocks. As shown in Fig. 1, the absorbent body 1 is attached to the central portion in the width direction of the absorbent article 1, and the longitudinal direction of the absorbent body 1 and the longitudinal direction of the absorbent article 1 extend toward each other. In addition, the expansion portion 10a is formed at a position in the center in the longitudinal direction of the absorbent body 1 in the longitudinal direction, and is formed in the center in the width direction. The inflation portion 10a is formed as -11. - 200906372 The oblong shape conforms to the shape of the wearer's femoral condyle (that is, the peripheral portion of the wearer's menstrual blood discharge opening) and the interfacing surface sheet 20 is in close contact with the femoral condyle. On the other hand, the absorbent article 1 The end portion in the longitudinal direction of the region of the absorbent body 1 , is in contact with the abdomen or the buttocks of the wearer. Therefore, the length of the absorbent body 1 in the longitudinal direction is present in the absorbent article 1 The region having both end portions in the longitudinal direction of the absorbent body 10 becomes the length of all the abutment and the buttocks of the wearer. Further, the absorbent body 10 according to the present embodiment is composed of, for example, tissue paper 1 1 such as fiber paper and absorbent material 1 2 . The absorber material 1 2 has a function of absorbing and retaining the liquid penetrating from the side of the surface sheet 20 to the side of the absorber 10, and has substantially the same outer dimensions as the absorber 1 〇. The tissue paper 1 1 is an example of a covering member, and is a sheet covered by the above-mentioned absorbent body material 1 2 . Further, in order to integrate the tissue paper 11 with the absorbent body material 1 2 covered by the tissue paper 11, the specific portion of the absorbent body 10 is compressed, and embossing is formed in the portion (hereinafter, also Said absorber embossing). Further, the details of the absorber 10 will be described later. The surface sheet 20 is a liquid-permeable sheet member which is made of a natural fiber such as pulp or cotton, a cellulose fiber such as enamel, or a thermoplastic hydrophobic fiber such as polyethylene or polypropylene. The formed woven fabric or non-woven fabric or perforated plastic sheet or the like is formed. The surface sheet 20 is placed in the center portion in the width direction of the absorbent article 1, and has a width that is slightly wider than the absorbent body 10 in the wide direction and a length that is substantially the same as that of the back sheet 3 in the longitudinal direction. And covering the entire area of the surface of the absorber 1 〇. -12- 200906372 The back sheet 30 is a thermoplastic and liquid-impermeable sheet such as polyethylene or polypropylene. The back sheet 30 is formed to be much wider than the absorber 10, and the entire circumference of the outer edge portion is located outside the outer edge portion of the absorber 1b. Further, on both sides in the width direction, a holding portion 32 extending outward in the width direction is formed. The holding portion 32 is fixed to the undergarment in a state of being folded over on the opposite side when the absorbent article 1 is worn. Further, the back sheet 30 according to the present embodiment is a thermoplastic and liquid-impermeable sheet such as polyethylene or polypropylene, but a sheet containing thermoplasticity and liquid impermeability, and a tissue paper may be used. Or a sheet member laminated without a fabric or the like. The side sheet 25 is a suitable non-woven fabric such as a non-woven fabric or a spunbonded nonwoven fabric formed of a synthetic resin fiber, and a non-woven fabric composed of a spunbond-meltblown-spunbond layer. The side sheet 25 is placed in the width direction end portion of the absorbent article 1 in a state of being overlapped with a part of the surface sheet 20 (more precisely, both end portions in the width direction of the surface sheet 20). In the absorbent article 1 configured as described above, the skin surface of the absorbent body 1 and the surface sheet 20 are joined by a hot-melt adhesive, and are pressed against the thickness direction by using a high-pressure pressing member. The deep groove portion formed by the deep groove embossing process is 20 a, and is joined together more strongly. In the present embodiment, the deep groove portion 20a is formed by a portion surrounding the expansion portion 10a and on both sides of the expansion portion 1a, as shown in Fig. 1, from the length of the absorbent article 1. The front end portion in the side direction extends to the portion of the rear end portion. Further, in the deep groove portion 20a, a shallow bottom portion and a deep bottom portion having different groove depths are alternately arranged along the deep groove portion 20a'. When the central portion of the longitudinal direction of the absorbent article 1 is flexed by forming such a deep groove portion-13-200906372 2 0 a ', both ends in the longitudinal direction of the absorbent article 1 are also easily fitted to the center. Partially flexed. In other words, the deep groove portion 20a is a bending inducing portion for causing the three-dimensional bending in order to make the portion corresponding to the above-described expansion portion 1a to be worn along the body when the absorbent article 1 is worn. Further, when the menstrual blood or the like flows into the deep groove portion 20a, the deep groove portion 20a has a function of inducing penetration into a portion (i.e., deep bottom) compressed to a high density, thereby suppressing diffusion of menstrual blood or the like. Further, in the present embodiment, the shallow bottom portion and the deep bottom portion are alternately arranged in the deep groove portion 20a. However, the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, the groove depth in the deep groove portion 20a may be equal. . Further, on the opposite side of the absorber 10 and the surface sheet 20, the back sheet 30 is joined by a hot-melt adhesive. Further, on the skin surface side of the absorbent body 10, the side sheet 25 is joined to the upper surface of the back sheet 30 by a slight overlap with the both side portions of the absorbent body 1b. On the other hand, at the positions where the back sheet 30, the absorber 10, the surface sheet 20, and the side sheet 25 are overlapped, embossing by the pressing member which is heated at a low temperature is applied, so that the absorber 10, the surface sheet 20, The side sheets 25 and the back sheet 30 are joined together more strongly. Further, the outer edge portion of the absorbent article 1 is a heat-sealed circular sealing process to which a lower temperature is applied. As described above, the absorbent body 10, the surface sheet 20, the side sheets 25, and the back sheet 30 are joined together by embossing or a hot-melt adhesive or the like. As a result, the absorber 10' is enclosed in the space formed by the surface sheet 20, the side sheet 25, and the back sheet 30. -14- 200906372 <<Structure of Absorber>> Next, the structure ' of the absorbent body 1' of the present embodiment will be described using the first, second, and third drawings. Fig. 2' is a schematic plan view of the absorbent body 1' showing the skin side of the absorbent body 1. Fig. 3 is a view showing the sectional structure of the point distribution portion 13, showing the A-A1 cross section of Fig. 2; Further, in Fig. 2, the longitudinal direction and the wide direction of the absorbent body 1 are not shown by the arrows. In Fig. 3, the vertical direction ', that is, the thickness direction of the absorbent body 10, is indicated by an arrow. The absorbent body 10 is a slightly thin sheet-like member which is long in a specific direction as shown in Fig. 2, and is constituted by the tissue paper 1 1 and the absorbent body material 1 as described above. The absorber material 1 2 has a shape similar to that of the absorber 1 ,, and the longitudinal direction and the width direction of the absorber material 12 are along the longitudinal direction and the width of the absorbent article 1, respectively. In the state of the direction, it is attached to the absorbent article 1. Further, the portion located in the center in the longitudinal direction of the absorber material 12 and located at the center in the width direction is a portion corresponding to the expansion portion 10a of the absorber 1〇, and a thick portion having a thickness thicker than the other portions is formed. 1 4a. Further, the crease formed when the absorbent article 1 is folded into a package is also a boundary between the center portion and the end portion of the longitudinal direction of the absorbent body 1 . In other words, the crease is also a boundary between the central portion and the end portion in the longitudinal direction of the absorber material 12. Therefore, the position of the absorbent body material 1 corresponding to the position of the fold line of the absorbent article 1 is the position at which the center portion and the end portion are distinguished in the longitudinal direction of the absorbent body material 12. -15- 200906372 The absorbent body material 12' is a paper-like superabsorbent fiber (pulverized into a fibrous pulp) as an example of an absorbent fiber, and a granular superabsorbent polymer as an example of a highly absorbent resin (hereinafter 'Simplified as SAP', and composed. The pulverized pulp is concentrated into flakes, and the SAP is locally densely packed in the absorbent material 12. The configuration of the absorber material 1 2 of the present embodiment will be specifically described with reference to Figs. 2 and 3 . As shown in Fig. 2, the absorber material 12 has a dot distribution portion 13 having four dot distributions, and a continuous portion 14 continuous around the dot distribution portion 13. The dot distribution portion 13 is a region in which the SAP is densely formed, and is formed in an oblong shape on a plane defined by the longitudinal direction of the absorber material 1 and the width direction. Further, in the surface (the surface on the skin surface side or the opposite surface side) in the thickness direction of the absorber material 12, the ratio of the total area of the dot distribution portion 13 is 5% or more (preferably 5). ~70% or more, and 1〇~40% is particularly desirable). Further, in the present embodiment, as shown in Fig. 1, in the longitudinal direction of the absorber material 12, a part of the dot distribution portion 13 exists over the center portion and the rear end portion, and substantially all of the dot distribution portion丨3 is an end portion located in the longitudinal direction described above. In other words, the volume occupancy ratio of the 'point distribution portion i 3 at the end portion in the longitudinal direction of the absorber material 1 2 with respect to the end portion in the longitudinal direction is higher than the point distribution portion 13 located at the center portion in the longitudinal direction. The volume occupancy rate with respect to the central portion in the longitudinal direction. Further, in the present embodiment, the volume distribution ratio of the dot distribution portion 13 at the rear end portion of the front end portion and the rear end portion is high. The other side is around the respective point distribution portions 13 (i.e., the continuous portion 1 4), and the pulverized paper prize is gathered in a substantially uniform dense state. In other words, each point distribution -16-200906372 part 1 3 is surrounded by the accumulated pulverized pulp. As shown in FIG. 3, the dot distribution portion 13 of the present embodiment has a three-layer structure "in the vertical direction (that is, in the thickness direction of the absorber material 12), and is provided with pulverized pulp (in FIG. 3, etc. The clustered layer 13c, the space layer 13b, and the SAP (shown in Figure 3, etc., indicated by the symbol S) are densely packed with dense layers 1 3 a. On the other hand, in the state in which the skin surface of the absorbent article 1 is located on the opposite side, the accumulation layer 1 3 c, the space layer 13 b, and the dense layer 13 a are sequentially arranged in the vertical direction from the skin surface side. That is, the space layer 13b and the dense layer 13a are adjacent to each other, and the accumulation layer 13c is located on the opposite side to the side adjacent to the dense layer 13a, and is adjacent to the space layer 13b. Further, as shown in Fig. 3, the layer thickness of the space layer 13b is longer than the layer thickness of the dense layer 13a. Here, the layer thickness means that the absorbent article 1 is placed horizontally, and the skin surface of the absorbent article 1 is thicker than the state of the upper side (i.e., the state of Fig. 3). Further, as shown in Fig. 3, the accumulation layer 13c is connected to the continuous portion 14 on the skin surface side, and the dense state of the pulverized pulp of the accumulation layer 13 c is substantially dense with the pulverized pulp of the continuous portion 14 The status is the same. In this manner, the pulverized pulp is accumulated in a substantially uniform state on the surface of the skin surface of the absorbent body material 12 across the entire surface of the skin surface side. Therefore, it is possible to give the wearer an appropriate tactile sensation when the absorbent article 1 is attached to the upper body. Further, the same pulverized pulp is collected in the collecting layer 13c and the continuous portion 14, and the "dense state of the pulverized pulp" means the weight of the pulverized pulp contained per unit volume. -17- 200906372 Further, as shown in Fig. 3, the layer thickness of the collecting layer 13c is shorter than the thickness of the continuous portion 14. In other words, the basis weight of the pulverized pulp of the collecting layer 13c (the weight of the pulverized pulp contained per unit volume) is lower than the basis weight of the continuous portion 14. Specifically, the basis weight of the accumulation layer 13c is 80% or less of the basis weight of the continuous portion 14 (preferably i to 8〇%, and 5 to 30% is particularly desirable). Further, as described above, the space layer 13b is formed in the dot distribution portion 13. Therefore, the dot distribution portion 13 is lower in rigidity than the continuous portion 14. In the present embodiment, as shown in Fig. 1, there is a point distribution portion 13 located at a position corresponding to the position of the broken line when the absorbent article 1 is folded. That is, there is a dot distribution portion 13 which overlaps with the crease formed when the absorbent article 1 is folded. Thus, the lower-rigid dot distribution portion 13 is overlapped with the crease, so that the folding of the absorbent article 1 can be easily performed. Further, since the longitudinal direction of the dot distribution portion 13 which is superimposed on the crease (that is, the long-axis direction of the oblong-point distribution portion 13) is along the crease, the folding of the absorbent article 1 becomes more complicated. easily. On the other hand, since SAP is densely distributed in the dot distribution portion 13, the volume occupancy ratio of the SAP of the dot distribution portion 13 is higher than the volume occupancy ratio of the periphery of the dot distribution portion 13 (that is, the continuous portion 14). . In addition, as described above, substantially all of the dot distribution portions 13 are distributed at four ends in the longitudinal direction end portion of the absorber material 12, and therefore are located at the point distribution portion 13 of the end portion of the absorber material 12 in the longitudinal direction. The volume occupancy rate with respect to the end portion in the longitudinal direction is higher than the volume occupancy ratio at the central portion of the longitudinal direction in the point distribution portion 13 located at the central portion in the longitudinal direction. Further, in the absorber material 1 2 of the present embodiment, the SAP is mainly the volume occupancy ratio of the SAP disposed in the dot distribution portion 13, -18 to 200906372 at each point distribution portion 13 (that is, the distribution of each point). The charge rate of the SAP in the portion 13 is substantially constant between the dot distribution portions 13 . Therefore, in the end portion in the longitudinal direction, the volume occupancy ratio of the SAP is higher than the central portion in the longitudinal direction. That is, the ratio of the space occupied by the SAP to the volume of the end portion in the longitudinal direction of the absorber material 12 is higher than the ratio of the space to the volume of the end portion in the longitudinal direction. In addition, in the end portion in the longitudinal direction, the SAP having excellent hygroscopicity is disposed more than the central portion in the longitudinal direction. Therefore, in the absorbent article 1, the moisture absorbing force that is in contact with the longitudinal end portion side of the abdomen and the buttocks of the wearer is higher than the moisture absorbing force at the central portion side in the longitudinal direction. As long as it is such an absorbent article 1, it can absorb more moisture from the above-mentioned abdomen which is more sultry and around the buttocks. As a result, it is possible to suppress the discomfort caused to the wearer due to sultry heat. The tissue paper 1 1 is a liquid-permeable one, and the sheet having a mesh which is finer than the particles of the S A P has a function of preventing the S A P from leaking out of the outer side of the tissue 1 1 . Further, the above-mentioned tissue paper 1 1 ' also has a function of preventing the accumulated pulp fibers from falling off the outside of the tissue paper 11. The absorbent body 10' SAP, which is configured as described above, is accumulated in the point distribution portion 13 in a dense state. That is, S A P will remain liquid at the point distribution portion 13 and become swollen. On the other hand, the "liquid absorbed by the absorbent article 1" penetrates into the absorbent body material 1 2 after passing through the surface sheet 20 and the tissue paper 11. Then, the above liquid, which will diffuse in the pulverized pulp in the collected state, is finally held in the SAP densely distributed in the spot distribution portion 13. At this time, the liquid permeates from the side of the accumulation layer 1 3 c to the inside of the point distribution portion 1 ' -19 to 200906372 and also infiltrates from the periphery of the point distribution portion 13 . That is, the liquid permeates into the point distribution portion 13 three times. Therefore, in the dot distribution portion 13, it becomes an environment which is easily swellable to the SAP densely distributed in the point distribution portion 13. In other words, the liquid is easily trapped by the SAP densely distributed in the dot distribution portion 13 and is easily retained at the SAP. <<Production Method of Absorbent Article>> Next, a method of manufacturing the absorbent article 1 of the present embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 4 . Fig. 4 is a view showing the manufacturing process of the absorbent article 1.

Hereinafter, in the manufacturing process of the absorbent article 1, the absorbent body manufacturing process S100 will be described. < Absorber manufacturing process > Regarding the absorbent body manufacturing process S100, Use Figure 5 to Figure 8 to illustrate. Figure 5, A flow chart of the manufacturing process S 100 for the absorber. Figure 6, In order to be displayed in the absorber manufacturing process S100, The absorber 10 is manufactured as a pattern diagram of the process from -20 to 200906372. Fig. 7 is a view showing a mesh template 48 which is an example of a model used for collecting the base material 15 for pulverizing pulp to form an absorbent material. Fig. 8 is a view for explaining a jacquard roller 7'' as an example of a roller used for supplying SAP to the substrate 15. also, In Figure 8, The front view of the jacquard roller 70 is shown (above), A-A' sectional view of the jacquard roller 7 (middle), And a view showing the correspondence relationship between the recess 7a provided on the outer circumference of the jacquard roller 70 and the hole portion 15a provided in the base material 15 (the lower drawing). As shown in Figure 5, Absorber manufacturing process S 1 00, This is started from the step S102 of obtaining the substrate 15 of the absorbent body material. and, In this embodiment, Substrate 1 5, This is achieved by accumulating the pulverized pulp in the mesh template 48 shown in Fig. 7. Grid template 48, In order to have a meshed bottom surface (in Figure 7, Consider the convenience of the illustration, Only the metal mold frame in which one of the bottom faces is meshed is displayed. and, a suction device (not shown) disposed outside the mesh template 48, When the air is attracted to the bottom surface of the mesh template 48, By the attraction of the above attraction device, The pulverized pulp falling from the upper side of the above-described mesh template 48, It will be drawn into the grid template 48. At last, The pulverized pulp will be collected in the grid template 48. It is laminated to have a certain thickness. The grid template 4 8, A shape having a shape corresponding to the above-described absorbent body material 12 is provided. that is, The mesh template 4 8 has a shape that is long in a specific direction. As shown in Figure 7, At the bottom of the grid template 48 (more correctly, A convex portion 48a having a substantially trapezoidal columnar shape is distributed at four points in the longitudinal direction of the bottom portion. Furthermore, In the above-mentioned grid -21 - 200906372, the central portion of the longitudinal direction of the template 48 is the central portion in the width direction. A recess 48b for forming the thick meat portion 14a of the absorbent body material 12 is provided. By concentrating the pulverized pulp in the mesh template 4 8 constructed as described above, A substrate 15 having the same outer shape as that of the absorber material 12 can be obtained. that is, By shaping the substrate to form the substrate 1 5 ', by adjusting the shape of the model, A substrate 15 having a desired shape can be obtained. that is, The absorbent body material 1 2 can also be formed into a desired shape. also, In the center of the longitudinal direction of the mesh template 4 of the present embodiment, the portion is located at the center in the width direction. Providing a recess 48b for forming the thick meat portion Ma of the absorbent body material 12, However, it is not limited to this. E.g, The portion in the center of the longitudinal direction of the mesh template 48 and located at the center in the width direction is a flat surface. It is also possible to form a substrate of a flat absorbent material without the above-mentioned thick meat portion 14a 15 ° An oblong hole portion 15a is distributed at four points on the substrate 1 (refer to Fig. 8 below). Each hole is 1 5 a, It is formed at a position corresponding to the point distribution portion 13 of the absorbent body material 12. Such a part 1 5a, It is formed by a convex portion 48 a that is placed at the bottom of the mesh template 48. that is, When the pulverized pulp is collected in the grid template 48, Keep it away from the portion corresponding to the convex portion 48a (in other words, The pulverized pulp is not allowed to enter the convex portion 48a) to collect the above pulverized pulp. the result, A hole portion 15a is formed in a portion corresponding to the convex portion 48a. also, In this embodiment, Each side surface of the convex portion 48a is formed in a mesh shape. However, in order to prevent the pulverized pulp from entering the hole portion 15a, It is also possible to plug the mesh on each side of the convex portion 48a with a tape or a resin or the like. also, As long as it has a mesh template 48 with a flat bottom surface, Alternatively, -22-200906372 is formed by attaching a convex portion 48 8 formed separately by rubber or resin to the bottom surface of the mesh template 48. The packaging step S10 2 ' of obtaining the substrate 15 using the mesh template 48 will be described in more detail with reference to Fig. 6. The mesh template 48' has the above-mentioned attraction device. And can be oriented in a specific direction of rotation (Fig. 6, On the outer circumference of the suction roller 40 that is rotated in the direction indicated by the arrow, The longitudinal direction of the mesh template 48 is arranged along the direction of the axis of rotation of the suction reel 40. also, Each grid template 4 8, It is arranged in a state in which its opening faces outward. and, With the above suction device, The air around the suction roll 40 is continuously attracted to the suction roll 40 by sandwiching the mesh template 48 (i.e., In Figure 6, In the direction indicated by the symbol F1), The mesh template 48 is rotated integrally with the suction roll 40. on the other hand, On the upper side of the suction roller 40, Set up a paper pulp to pulverize the flakes (in Figure 6 Displayed by the symbol Ps), And the opened pulp opening device 42 is opened.

The attraction force generated by the suction means is trapped in the mesh template 48 disposed on the outer circumference of the suction drum 40. After the accumulation of the pulverized pulp is increased in the mesh template 48, the rotation of the suction roller 40 is accompanied. The grid template 48 will move to the position of the pulp scraping mechanism 44. then, The paddle scraping mechanism 4 4 'will scrape the over-collected pulverized paper pulp in the pulverized pulp collected in the mesh template 48 (for example, 'the -23-200906372 mesh template 48 is laminated with a specific thickness or more The amount of crushed paper Li) ° according to the above process, A substrate 15 of the absorber material is formed in the mesh template 48. Thereafter, When the substrate 1 5 and the mesh template 4 accommodating the substrate 15 are further rotated by the suction roller 40 to reach the lowermost portion of the suction roller 40, The substrate 15 will be detached from the mesh template 48 described above.

Each recess 70a, As shown in the middle of Fig. 8, there is a certain depth in the radial direction of the jacquard roller. And, after the SAP supply mechanism 7 1 provided on the upper side of the jacquard roller 7 is supplied with the S A P toward the above recess 70 a, Accompanied by the rotation of the jacquard roller 70, The above-described recess 70a containing SAP is moved to the lower side of the jacquard roller 70. on the other hand, Being placed on the substrate 15 of the suction conveyor 60, In the state in which the longitudinal direction of the base material 15 is along the axial direction of the jacquard tube 70, it is conveyed toward the lower side of the jacquard roller 7A. then, As shown in Fig. 6, the above substrate 15 passes through the lower side of the jacquard roller 70. On the surface of the substrate 15 and the outer circumference of the above-mentioned jacquard roller 70 (more correctly, It should be in the middle of the week, A portion in which the portion of the recess 70a accommodating the SAP is disposed, The SAP accommodated in the above concavity 7〇a, It is attracted to the respective hole portions 15a of the base material 15 by the suction force of the suction device, and is supplied into the respective hole portions 15a. here, a dot distribution pattern of the above-mentioned recess 70a located on the outer circumference of the above-mentioned jacquard roller 70, As shown in the figure above and in the figure below, Corresponding to the dot distribution pattern of the hole portion 15 a located in the substrate 15. Therefore, The S AP that is accommodated in each of the recesses 70, That is, it is supplied in the hole portion 15a at a position corresponding to each of the recesses 70a. E.g, In the above figure in Figure 8, In the direction of the axis of the jacquard roller 70, The SAP accommodated in the recess 70a positioned at the position indicated by the symbol a, It is supplied to the hole portion 15 5 at the position indicated by the symbol a in the longitudinal direction of the substrate 15 . also, In the top image of Figure 8, Located in three recesses 70a at the position indicated by the above symbol a, The SAP that is housed in the central recess 70a, -26- 200906372 is supplied to both of the two hole portions 15a located at the position indicated by the above symbol a. The layer thickness of the dense layer 13a is shorter than the depth of the cavity portion 15a so as to be relative to the substrate 15 in a state of being adsorbed toward the suction conveyor belt 60 side. SAP, A face that is opposite to the face that faces the suction conveyor belt 60 of the substrate 15 (i.e., As the side of the opposite side of the absorbent article 1, the side of the opposite side, It is supplied to the above-mentioned hole portion 1 5 a. At this time, the resistance of the hole is 1 5 a, Due to a portion other than the hole portion 15a in the above substrate 15 (i.e., The part that accumulates the pulverized pulp) is much less attractive. Therefore, the S AP is concentratedly sucked into the hole portion 15a. With this, SAP is densely populated in the cavity 15a. In other words, A dense layer 13a of SAP is formed in the above-mentioned cavity portion 15a. also, In this embodiment, When the S AP is supplied to the above-mentioned hole portion 1 5 a, The layer thickness of the dense layer 1 3 a is supplied to the SAP at a shorter depth than the depth of the hole portion 15a. Specifically, Is to make the layer of the dense layer 13a thick, It is about 80% or less (preferably 10 to 80%) which is the depth of each hole portion 15a. especially, In the present embodiment, 20% is supplied to the SAP. As a specific method for realizing such SAP supply, E.g, It is conceivable to adjust the outer diameter of the recess 70a of the above-described jacquard roller 70 or the like to adjust the amount of SAP accommodated in the recess 70a, Alternatively, the suction pressure of the substrate 15 is adsorbed toward the side of the suction conveyor 60 when the SAP is supplied. also, The above suction pressure when supplying SAP, In order to allow the SAP accommodated in the recess 70a of the jacquard roller 70 to be sucked into each of the above-mentioned hole portions 15a, on the other hand, From a portion of the substrate 15 adjacent to each of the above-mentioned hole portions 15a, The pulverized pulp collected in the portion is not adjusted to be detached. Supplying the SAP to the hole portion 15a as described above, the result, The absorber material 12 can be formed from the substrate -27- 200906372 15. That is, when the thickness of the dense layer 13a is made shorter than the depth of the hole portion 15a of the substrate 15 to supply the SAP to the hole portion 15a, Then, a dense layer 13a of SAP is formed in the cavity portion 15a, And the space layer 1 3 b. Furthermore, The layer of pulverized pulp accumulated on the lower side of the hole portion 15 a becomes the accumulation layer 13 c. Thereby, the portion of the substrate 15 provided with the above-mentioned hole portion 15 5 a, The portion of the point distribution portion 1 5 a in which the absorber material 1 2 is formed is formed as a continuous portion 14 of the absorber material 1 2 . After the absorber material 1 2 is formed from the substrate 15 , The tissue 1 1 ' between the absorbent body material 12 and the suction conveyor 60 is flexed in such a manner as to encase the absorbent material 12. The absorber material 12 is covered (S108). In this embodiment, In order to make the tissue 11 flexed, a tissue bending portion 62 is provided on the surface of the suction conveyor 60, Thin paper 11, To flex at the time of passing the tissue flexure 62, The above absorbent body material 12 is covered. at this time, Located at the end of the tissue 11 in the width direction (the direction intersecting the transport direction), Since they will be recombined with each other on the upper side of the absorber material 12, Therefore, the tissue paper 11 has a cylindrical shape. Secondly, In order to integrate the tissue 11 and the absorber material 12, Absorber material 1 2 in a state covered by the tissue paper π (that is, A specific portion of the absorbent body 10) is compressed, The embossing process (s 1 1 0 ) of the absorber embossing the absorbent body is applied to a specific portion. In this embodiment, The so-called specific part, As mentioned above, It means that it is the continuous portion 14 and surrounds the surrounding portion 1 Ob of each point distribution portion 13 . The embossing process of the absorbent body is carried out by passing between two rolls (not shown) which are opposed to each other. E.g, -28- 200906372 on the lower roller, When the absorber material 12 is transported, In a portion that is in contact with the area where the embossing of the absorber is formed, Forming a protrusion with a specific shape, The surface of the roller facing the upper side is formed into a flat shape. By the absorbent material 1 2 wrapped by the tissue 1 1 , Through the above two rollers, The protrusions compress the tissue paper 11 and the absorber material 1 2 . The tissue 1 1 and the absorbent material 1 2 are integrated by being compressed by projections and formed with a plurality of absorber embossing. also, In this embodiment, Absorber embossing, In the absorbent body 10, It is carried out avoiding the portion corresponding to the above-described point distribution portion 13. this is, As mentioned above, The point distribution portion 1 3 is lower in rigidity than the continuous portion 14 And, A space layer 13b is formed in the distribution portion 13 at this point, Therefore, if the portion corresponding to the point distribution portion 13 is compressed by the above protrusions, Then the tissue paper 1 1 will be damaged. Thereafter, The integrated tissue paper 1 1 and the absorbent material 1 2 (ie, Absorber 1 0 ), The outer shape of the absorbent body material 1 2 is cut by the suction body cutter 80 (S112). and, When the above packaging processes (S 1 0 2 to S 1 1 2) are completed, The absorbent body manufacturing process S 1 0 0 also ends. === Effectiveness of the absorbent article of the present embodiment === The absorbent article 1 of the present embodiment, It has the following: The absorbent material 12 having the point distribution portion 13 of the four-point distribution is characterized by an absorbent article; The point distribution unit 13 is provided with a dense layer 13a dense with SAP, And a space layer 13b adjacent to the dense layer 13a in the vertical direction. By this, It is possible to suppress the bulging of -29-200906372 caused by the swelling of SAP in the absorbent article 1. The absorbent article 1 can be prevented from giving a foreign body sensation to the wearer. that is, As explained in the prior art, In the past, absorbent articles, SAP is in the absorbent material 12, It exists in a planar shape and is roughly equal. especially, Where SAP is present in layers on the skin side of the absorbent article, When the SAP keeps the liquid absorbed by the absorbent article and swells, Swelling SAP will combine with each other, And hindering the liquid from facing the opposite side (ie, Movement of the underside of the absorbent article). the result, The absorbed liquid is retained on the skin side of the absorbent body material 12, On the side of the skin, Become liquid is not easily absorbed, However, there is a problem that the absorption of the absorbent article is lowered. As an example of a solution to such a problem, It is thought that SAP can be used on the skin side of the absorbent body material without being substantially equal. E.g, Locating the SAP area in four locations in the absorber material, In this area, SAP is intensive. With this, Even if the absorbent article absorbs a large amount of liquid, The absorbed liquid will not remain on the skin side of the absorbent material. Easy to diffuse in the absorber material, the result, The absorption of the above absorbent article can be maintained. in this way, According to the viewpoint of maintaining the absorption of the absorbent article, It is important to adjust the configuration of the S AP located in the absorber material. but, When the SAP is excessively dense in the area of the point distribution (for example, When the area is filled with SAP), a new problem arises in the absorbent article. that is, When the point distribution area is full of SAP, When the SAP keeps the liquid and swells, The area will bulge toward the outside of the absorbent body material 12. With this, Absorbent goods, Equivalent to the part of the area that will bulge, the result, -30- 200906372 There will be a feeling of foreign body giving the absorbent article to the wearer. In the absorbent article 1 of the present embodiment, A point distribution portion 13 in which the S AP is dense is also distributed at four points in the absorber material 12. therefore, The liquid absorbed by the absorbent article 1 will be in the absorbent body material 1 2 (in particular, In the continuous portion 14) diffusion even if the absorbent article 1 absorbs a large amount of liquid, The absorption force of the absorbent article 1 is also maintained. On the other hand, In the point distribution portion 13, The dense layer 13a of SAP, It is adjacent to the spatial layer 1 3b which is a spatial margin with respect to the swelling of the SAP. that is, Even when SAP swells, It is also possible to increase the volume of S A P caused by swelling. Inhibition is prevented from being within the space layer 丨3 b. With this, It is possible to suppress the point distribution portion 1 3 in the up and down direction (that is, The thickness of the absorbent body material 1 2 is raised. the result, The occurrence of the bulging of the portion corresponding to the point distribution portion 13 of the absorbent article 1 can be suppressed. Therefore, it is also possible to prevent the absorbent article 1 from giving the wearer a foreign body sensation. also, At the point distribution part 1 3, Compared with the periphery of the point distribution portion 13 Due to the larger amount of SAP, And, Have more of the above spatial margins, Therefore, the distribution portion 13, It will become a moisture absorbing part that absorbs moisture between the wearer's skin and the absorbent article 1 by sweating. that is, According to this embodiment, the point distribution portion 13 is provided. Not only can the occurrence of the bulging of the absorbent article 1 be suppressed, Prevent giving the wearer a sense of foreign body, And when the absorbent article 1 absorbs a large amount of liquid, The absorption of the absorbent article 1 is also maintained. Furthermore, The moisture absorption of the absorbent article 1 can be improved. also, In the absorbent article 1 of the present embodiment, Due to the dense layer of s A P 1 3 a, It is located on the opposite side of the above-mentioned skin side and the opposite side, -31 - 200906372, Therefore, it should be an absorbent article 1, Have the following advantages. that is, As mentioned above, When S A P is swollen by the liquid absorbed by the absorbent article, The swollen S A P will combine with each other. However, the phenomenon that the liquid body moves toward the opposite surface side is prevented. the result, The absorbed liquid will remain on the skin side of the absorbent body material 12. The liquid becomes too apt to be absorbed on the side of the skin. There is a problem that the absorption force of the absorbent article 1 is lowered. In the absorbent article 1 of the present embodiment, Since there is a point distribution portion 13 having a dense concentration of S A P, Therefore, as mentioned above, It is not easy to happen about this phenomenon, However, there is a possibility that the phenomenon will occur. and, The dense layer 13a of SAP is located on the opposite side of the above, Even if this phenomenon occurs, the decrease in the absorption force can be suppressed. that is, If the dense layer of SAP is 1 3 a, it is on the side of the skin. And when the phenomenon occurs, Compared to the dense layer 13a, Even if the absorption of the pulverized pulp or S AP on the opposite side is more abundant, Liquid can't reach it either. Therefore, the absorption of liquid cannot be properly performed. In contrast, Where the dense layer 13a of SAP is on the opposite side, Even if this happens, Compared to the dense layer 1 3 a, The pulverized pulp on the side of the skin or the absorption of SAP can be more appropriately used. Therefore, the absorption will not decrease, Therefore, The absorption of the liquid will proceed appropriately. ===Other implementation forms === Above, Based on the above embodiment, Mainly describes an absorbent article relating to the present invention, And a method of manufacturing an absorbent article, However, the embodiment of the above invention, Used to make the invention easier to understand, Not limited to -32- 200906372 The inventor. this invention, As long as it does not escape the purpose, Can be changed, The invention is modified and the equivalents are of course included in the invention. especially, The embodiment of the present invention is not limited to the number described in the above description. Or the material of each material. E.g, In the above embodiment, As an example of absorbent fibers, pulverized pulp has been described. As other absorbent fibers, it is also possible to use cellulose such as cotton. Regenerated cellulose such as mash or fibril, Semi-synthetic cellulose such as acetate or triacetate, Fibrous polymer, Thermoplastic hydrophobic chemical fibers, etc. also, In the absorber material 1 2, In addition to pulp fibers or SAP, It can also be densely granulated and deodorized. Granular antibacterial material, Granular cooling material, etc. Furthermore, In the above implementation form, As an example of the covering member, a tissue paper 11 such as fiber paper has been described. But as other covering components, It can also be made of cellulose such as cotton. Regenerated cellulose such as 嫘 or fibril, Semi-synthetic cellulose such as acetate or triacetate, Fibrous polymer, A woven or non-woven fabric formed of a thermoplastic hydrophobic chemical fiber or the like. also, In the above embodiment, To consider the convenience of the description, The configuration in which the absorbent body 10 is provided with one absorbent body material 12 in the center in the wide direction has been described. However, it is not limited to this one. E.g, It can also be formed at both ends in the width direction of the absorbent body 1 ,. The side absorbent body is provided along the longitudinal direction. also, Instead of the side absorber, It is also possible to provide a configuration in which the two end portions are provided with three-dimensional hem. Furthermore, In the above embodiment, The absorbent article 1 is folded into a three-fold shape. that is, Regarding the case where there are two fold positions in the absorbent article 1, However, it is not limited to this. E.g, The absorbent article 1 can also be folded into a four-fold -33-200906372 shape. Further, in the above embodiment, The dot distribution portion 13 is distributed at four points in the longitudinal direction of the absorber material 12, But it does not exist in the central department, However, it is not limited to this. The dot distribution portion 13 may also exist in the central portion in the longitudinal direction. Further, in the above embodiment, The dot distribution portion 1 3 ' is formed in an oblong shape on a plane defined by the longitudinal direction and the wide direction of the absorbent body material 12, but, Can also be round, Square, Triangle, etc. It is not limited to those who are long round. also, In the above embodiment, Around the point distribution portion 13, There is an absorbent fiber based on pulverized pulp. However, it is not limited to this. E.g, The above absorbent fibers may not be collected around the dot distribution portion 13. Specifically, The point distribution portion 13 may be surrounded by a material that is impermeable to liquid. but, The field where the absorbent fibers are gathered around the dot distribution portion 13 is as described above. The liquid absorbed by the absorbent article 1 is three-dimensionally infiltrated into the dot distribution portion 13. the result, Point distribution unit 1 3, For the SAP densely distributed to the point distribution portion 13, It becomes an environment that is easy to trap the above liquid and swell. therefore, Within the point distribution unit 1 3, It has a space layer 丨3b which is a spatial margin with respect to the swelling of SAP. Become more meaningful. Based on this point, The above embodiment is preferred. In the above-mentioned form, The point distribution portion 13 is a three-layer structure. In addition to the above-described dense layer 13a and the above-mentioned space layer 13b, Further, the accumulation layer 13c in which the pulverized paper sheets are collected is placed on the skin side of the above absorbent body material 12. but, Not limited to this', for example, As shown in Figure 9, Point -34- 200906372 The cloth part 13 is a two-layer structure. It is also possible to have only the above-described dense layer 13a and the above-described space layer 13b. Figure 9, A diagram showing a dot distribution portion 13 having a two-layer structure having a dense layer 13a and a space layer 13b. but, In the case where the accumulation layer 13c is provided in the dot distribution portion 13, In the distribution portion 1 3 at this point, It is more meaningful to have a spatial layer 13b as a spatial margin for swelling with respect to SAP. Specifically, In the case where the collecting layer 13c is adjacent to the dense layer 13a, If the SAP in the dense layer 13a is swollen, The pulverized pulp in the collecting layer 13c is extruded and the collecting layer 13 c is bulged. the result, Producing a bump in the absorbent article 1, There is a feeling of foreign body sensation given to the wearer of the absorbent article 1. Relative to this, As in the above embodiment, As long as the space layer is interposed between the collecting layer 1 3 c and the dense layer 1 3 a, Then even if SAP swells, The increase in volume due to the swelled SAP can be prevented from being prevented in the space layer. the result, It can suppress the bulging of the accumulation layer 13 c, that is, The occurrence of the bulging of the absorbent article 1 is suppressed. Based on this point, The above embodiment is preferred. also, In order to form the absorber material 1 2 having the dot distribution portion 13 having a two-layer structure, E.g, As long as the pulverized pulp is accumulated in the mesh template 48 to form the substrate 15, The pulverized pulp laminated on the convex portion 48 a of the mesh template 48 can be scraped off by the above-described pulp scraping mechanism 44. At this time, The hole portion 15 a that penetrates from the skin surface side to the opposite surface side is formed in the base material 15 . that is, There is no portion corresponding to the accumulation layer 13c located in the point distribution portion 13 at the bottom portion of the above-mentioned hole portion 15a. Therefore, when S A P is supplied to the hole portion 15 a, At the point portion 1 5 a, a point distribution portion -35-13 of a two-layer structure is formed. 200906372 Again, In the above embodiment, The layer thickness of the layer 13b is set to be longer than the layer thickness of the dense layer 13a. However, it is not limited to this. For example, the layer thickness of the space layer 13b may be shorter than the layer thickness of the dense layer 13a. However, where the layer thickness of the space layer 13b is longer than the layer thickness of the dense layer 13a, A more spatial margin relative to the swelling of the SAP can be ensured in the point distribution portion 13. therefore, The effect of suppressing the occurrence of the bulging of the absorbent article 1 can be exhibited more effectively. Furthermore, SAP becomes easy to swell, the result, Even if the absorbent article 1 absorbs a large amount of liquid, The absorption of the absorbent article 1 can also be maintained. Based on the above points, The above embodiment is preferred. also, In the above embodiment, The case where the tissue paper 11 having the covering member covering the absorbent body material 12 is provided has been described. But not limited to this, E.g, The absorber material 12 may also not be covered. but, Where the absorber material 12 is covered, It is possible to prevent the SAP intensive in the dot distribution portion i 3 from flowing out of the point distribution portion 丨3. Based on this point, The above embodiment is preferred. also, In the above embodiment, the configuration in which S A P is mainly disposed in the point distribution unit 13 has been described. that is, In the above embodiment, s A P is the field of the hole portion 5 a which is provided in the base material 15 of the absorbent body material. However, 'is not limited to this, In addition to the hole portion 5a, it is also conceivable to supply s A P to a portion other than the hole portion 丨 5 a of the base material 15 (hereinafter referred to as the first modification). the following, The first modification will be specifically described with reference to Fig. 10 and Fig. 11 . Fig. 10 is a schematic view showing a state of the absorbent body manufacturing process sl0 of the first modification. And corresponds to the figure of Figure 6. Dijon diagram, Illustrated is a graph of the absorber material 1 2 and the absorber 1 有关 of the first modification, And showing the absorber material 1 2 (top) supplied with the stage of SAP, And an absorbent body 10 (lower figure) attached to the step of the absorbent article 1. also, In Figure 11, Display the up and down direction with an arrow (ie, Absorber material 1 2 or the thickness direction of the absorber 10). In the absorbent body manufacturing process S 1 00 relating to the first modification, As shown in Figure 1, No jacquard roller 70 is used, As another mechanism for supplying SAP to the substrate 15, A S A P feeder 7 2 was used. The S A P feeder 7 2 has a tapered bottom. And by dropping SAP from the bottom, Further, the S AP is supplied to the hole portion 15 5 of the substrate 15 described above. then, The substrate 15 that is conveyed in the transport direction by the suction conveyor 60, When passing the lower side of the SAP feeder 72, SAP from the bottom of the SAP feeder 72, Is supplied to the upper surface of the substrate 15 (in the surface of the substrate 15, The entire area of the side facing the side of the SAP feeder 72). also, at this time, Among the surfaces of the substrate 1 5 As the absorbent article 1 is completed, The surface that becomes the skin side faces the placement surface of the suction conveyor 60. the result, As shown in the figure above in Figure 11. Except for the inside of the hole portion 15a, SAP is also disposed on the upper surface of the substrate 15. also, As in this case, At the time of the supply of SAP, The attraction of the substrate 15 is brought closer to the side of the suction conveyor 60. and, Resistance to the attraction of the hole portion 1 5 a of the substrate 15 Since the resistance of the portion other than the hole portion 15 5 a of the substrate 15 is much smaller, Therefore, in the hole part 15a, Will be supplied with a larger amount of SAP. on the other hand, As shown in the top image of Figure 11, On the upper surface of the substrate 15, SAP will pile up in layers. -37- 200906372 By the supply method as described above, When the S AP is supplied to the hole portion 15a of the substrate 15 described above, An absorber material 1 2 may be formed from the above substrate 15 , Further, it is attached to the absorbent article 1 while being covered with the tissue paper 11. The result is as shown in the figure below in Figure 11. On the opposite side of the absorbent article 1 to the absorbent body material 1 2 (more correctly, A layered SAP is disposed between the continuous portion 1 4) and the tissue paper 11. also, The surface of the skin surface side of the absorbent body material 12 faces the lower side (i.e., From the absorbent body manufacturing process S100 to the pre-packaging process S3 00), In the point distribution part 1 3 'the dense layer 1 3a of SAP is present on the skin side, However, the absorbent article 1 has an inverted back. When the surface of the skin side faces upward, The dense layer 13 3 a will be on the opposite side in the point distribution portion 13 . By this, As shown in the figure below in Figure 11, The SAP becomes disposed on the entire surface of the opposite side of the absorber 10. As long as it is so constituted, A larger amount of liquid can be held in the absorbent article 1. the above, An example of supplying SAP to the entire surface of the substrate 15 by the SAP feeder 72 is explained. However, based on the point that a specific amount of SAP is appropriately supplied to a specific supply target, It is preferable to supply SAP in a concentrated manner toward the inside of the hole portion 15a of the base material 15 by using the jacquard roller 70. also, The composition of the SAP is disposed on the entire surface of the opposite side of the absorber 1 ,, As shown in Figure 12, It is also applicable to the case where the point distribution portion 13 of the absorber material 12 is a two-layer structure. Figure 12, To correspond to the image of Figure 11, Further, it is a view showing another application example in which the configuration of the SAP is disposed on the entire surface of the surface opposite to the absorber 1A. also, In the above embodiment, The recess 70a - 38 - 200906372 provided in the jacquard roller 70 is a circular hole-shaped recess, And the dot distribution pattern of the recess 70a of the jacquard roller 70, The dot distribution patterns with the cavities 15a of the substrate 15 correspond to each other. However, it is not limited to this, for example, 'the recess 70b, As shown in Figure 13, The shape of each of the hole portions 15a of the base material 15 may be blended into a round shape. Figure 13, A diagram showing a modification of the recess 70b of the jacquard roller 70. Where the shape of each of the recesses 70b is oblong, There is a case where the amount of SAP supplied from each portion of the recess 70b is not uniform. E.g, In the oblong shape 70b, There will be the amount of SAP supplied from the end in the long diameter direction. The amount of SAP supplied from the center of the long diameter direction is different. Relative to this, When it is a round hole-shaped recessed 洼7〇a, Since the amount of SAP supplied from each part of the recess 70a is equal, Therefore, the SAP is equally supplied to the respective hole portions 15a of the substrate 15. As above, Based on SAP, it will be appropriately supplied to the points within 1 5 a of each hole. The above embodiment is preferred. also, In the above embodiment, When S A P is supplied to the hole portion 1 5 a, At the attraction of the substrate 15 by the suction means provided on the suction conveyor 60, In a state of being adsorbed on the side of the suction conveyor belt 60, The S AP is supplied from the upper side of the substrate 15. but, Not limited to this, It is also possible to place the substrate 15 on a conveyor belt that does not have a suction device. but, Where the attraction device is attractive to the substrate 15, Resistance to suction at the hole portion 1 5 a of the substrate 15 Since it is much less attractive than the portion other than the hole portion 15a of the substrate 15, Therefore, the SAP is easily sucked into the cavity portion 15a. That is, As long as it is the above embodiment, It is then easier to supply the S AP within the cavity 1 5 a. Based on this point, The above embodiment is preferred. also, The shape of each convex portion 48a provided in the mesh template 48 and the size of -39-200906372, etc. may be different depending on the arrangement position of each convex portion 48a. For example, in the absorbent material 12, The portion where the deep groove embossing is applied (i.e., the portion where the deep groove portion 20a is formed) is provided in the convex portion 48 8 of the mesh template 48. Positioning the top surface of the convex portion 48a of the point distribution portion 13 is formed, It is preferable to make the position of the top surface of the other convex portion 4 8 a lower. At this time, Even if the point distribution portion 13 is provided at the position where the deep groove embossing is applied, Deep groove embossing can also be performed appropriately. Specifically, Then, it is a dense state of the pulverized pulp which is disposed at the point distribution portion 丨3 where the deep groove embossing is applied, If the dense state around the point distribution portion 13 is much smaller, When performing deep groove embossing, There will be a surface sheet 2 浮 floating from the surface of the absorber material 1 2 'damage. In contrast, In the convex portion 48a provided in the mesh template 48, As long as the position of the top surface of the convex portion 4 8 a of the point distribution portion 13 which is disposed at the position where the deep groove embossing is applied is formed, It is made lower than the top surface of the other 4 8 a of the convex part. Then, the thickness of the collecting layer 丨3 c is changed to be thick. With this, Adjustable absorber material 1 2, The rigidity of the portion where the point distribution portion 13 is located, Therefore, even if the point distribution portion 1 3 is provided for the deep groove embossing process, Deep groove embossing can also be performed appropriately. Further, as another method of adjusting the rigidity of the portion where the dot distribution portion 13 is located, for example, it is conceivable to adjust the basis weight or the like of the pulverized pulp of the above-mentioned accumulation layer 13 c. Further, in the above-described embodiment, the step S 1 02 ' of the substrate j 5 for obtaining the absorber material has been described as a step of collecting the pulverized pulp in the mesh template 48 (hereinafter, Also known as this case). but, Not limited to -40- 200906372 As another method of obtaining the above-described substrate 15 , E.g, It is also conceivable to prepare a pulp fiber and a thermoplastic fiber (both are absorbent fibers, the following, Simply refer to both as a fiber) layered sheet, When the sheet is subjected to processing for setting the hole portion 15a (hereinafter, Second modification). the following, Referring to Figure 14A to Figure 14D, A second modification will be specifically described. Figure 14A to Figure 14D, To illustrate from the above sheets (below, Also known as airflow forming sheets, In Figure 14A, The substrate of the absorber material is shown by the symbol P 1 . A diagram of the process of obtaining the absorber 1 by using the substrate 15. also, Figure 14A to Figure 14D, Magnified separately, Equivalent to the part of the hole 1 5a (or, It corresponds to the portion of the point distribution portion 13). In order to obtain the substrate 15 of the absorber material, Where the air flow forming sheet shown in Fig. 14A is used, In order to fit the shape of the substrate 1 5, after cutting the above air-formed sheet, In the air flow forming sheet, The portion where the hole portion 15 5a is formed is subjected to press embossing. The so-called pressing embossing, It is the same as the above-mentioned groove embossing process or absorber embossing process. In order to pass between the two rollers facing each other up and down, And by setting the protrusion of the roller on one side, The above air-laid sheet is compressed to form an embossing process. As shown in Figure 14B, a portion 15a is formed in a portion to which the embossing is applied, At the bottom of the hole portion 15a, Before the implementation of the embossing process, A high-density layer 15b having a high density of fibers is formed. By the method as described above, The substrate 15 can be obtained from the above air-laid sheet. also, In this modification, Before the implementation of the embossing process, That is, the airflow forming sheet has been cut, However, it can also be cut after the implementation of the embossing process. -41 - 200906372 Then, a substrate 15 formed by air flow forming a sheet, While being transported in the transport direction while being placed on the transport device, SAP is supplied to the hole portion 15a of the above-mentioned substrate 15. also, When transporting the substrate 15, Among the surfaces of the substrate 15 When the absorbent article 1 is completed, the surface which becomes the skin surface side faces upward. also, In the second modification, In contrast to the case of this case, There is no thin strip of paper 1 1 supplied on the carrying surface of the conveying device. The base material 15 is conveyed in the conveyance direction in a state of being in contact with the mounting surface. then, When SAP is supplied to the hole portion 15a, A dot distribution portion 13 having a dense layer 13a of SAP and a space layer 13b is formed in the hole portion 15a. On the other hand, the absorber material 12 shown in Fig. 14 is formed. also, a high-density layer 15b formed at the bottom of the cavity portion 15a, When the skin surface of the absorbent article 1 is located above the opposite side, Will be adjacent to the dense layer 13a of the SAP in the point distribution portion 13, Further, it is an outflow prevention layer 13d for preventing the SAP from flowing out from the opposite surface side of the absorber material 12 toward the point distribution portion 13. also, In this case, The conveying device is a suction conveyor belt 60, And by utilizing the attraction force of the substrate 15 toward the suction conveyor belt 60 side, Supplying S A P to the hole portion 1 5 a of the above-mentioned substrate 15 However, in the above conveying apparatus relating to the second modification, It is a function that does not have the function of adsorbing the substrate 1 5 . therefore, In the second modification, When SAP is supplied from the side of the jacquard roller 70 to the pocket portion 15a of the substrate 15, Use the SAP to fall by its own weight, The SAP is supplied to the above-mentioned hole portion 15a. Thereafter, Covering the upper surface of the absorber material 1 2 with the tissue paper 11 And performing an embossing process for absorbing the tissue paper 11 and the absorber material 1 2, at this time, That is, the absorber 10 shown in Fig. 14D is completed. -42- 200906372 As above, A substrate from which an absorbent material can be obtained from an air-laid sheet. However, at this time, it is necessary to carry out the process of cutting the air-laid sheet and the process for setting the processing of the hole portion 15a. Relative to this, in this case, During the period in which the substrate 15 is formed in the mesh template 48, a hole portion 15a is formed in the substrate 15. therefore, Simplifying the process for obtaining the substrate 15 The substrate 15 of the desired shape (i.e., the absorbent material 1 2 of the desired shape) can be easily obtained. Based on this point, the above embodiment is preferred. also, a method for forming a hole portion 5 a in an air flow forming sheet, Other methods may be used without being limited to the above-described crimp embossing. Regarding other methods, This will be explained using Fig. 15A to Fig. 15D. Figure 15A to Figure 15D, For each of the figures corresponding to Fig. 14A to Fig. 14D, An explanatory view of another method of forming the hole portion 15 a in the air flow forming sheet. The method, Starting from preparing an air-laid sheet (air-formed sheet in the state shown in Fig. 15A) which is shaped to fit the outer shape of the substrate 15 and cut. and, Use metal models such as embossing, etc. Extruding a portion of the hole portion 15a provided with the air-formed sheet, Making the concave and convex portions of the concave portion, Applied to the air flow forming sheet. With this, As shown in Figure 15B, The air flow forming sheet is provided with a hole portion 15a, The substrate 15 is obtained. Thereafter, Supply SAP to the hole portion 15a, Then, an absorber material 1 2 is formed (refer to FIG. 15C). Furthermore, The surface of the skin surface side of the absorbent body material 12 is covered with the tissue paper 11, The absorber 10 is thus completed (refer to Figure 15D). here, Since the above-mentioned pockets 1 5 a -43- 200906372 are formed by bending a sheet of airflow, Therefore, unlike the embossing process, The fibers laminated on the bottom of the above-mentioned cavity portion 15a are not densified, The dense state of the fibers at the bottom of the above-mentioned pockets is substantially the same as the dense state of the air-formed sheets originally prepared. but, For air forming films, Fibers are densely packed to the extent that SAP does not leak out. Therefore, the bottom of the hole portion 15a becomes the outflow prevention layer 13d in the point distribution portion 13. also, In the second modification, For forming a sheet using air jets of pulp fibers and thermoplastic fibers, but, It is also possible to use an air-laid sheet in which SAP is present in the fiber. At this time, The mixing ratio of the SAP in the air-laid sheet must be adjusted to 40% or less (more preferably 20% or less).
