- Patent Document 1 an absorbent article in which a large amount of granular material is confined in a large number of small spaces has been proposed.
- the granular material is arranged in a predetermined pattern between two base material sheets, and both base material sheets are joined to each other in a region where the granular material is not arranged.
- the joint portions of the two base material sheets are joined at such a low strength that they are separated by the separating force generated by the swell of a large number of granular materials in the region when the granular materials absorb water and swell. By doing so, it is possible to increase the volume of the granular material that can be accommodated between the two base material sheets.
- An object of the present invention is to provide an absorbent article that can increase the quantity of granular materials to be accommodated by providing both a high-strength joint and a low-strength joint, and is less likely to leak.

And at least one second protrusion for forming the portion.
- the article obtained by the method of the present invention has a high-strength joint and a low-strength joint, and when the granular material absorbs body fluid, the space between the two nonwoven fabrics swells, and the granular body absorbs body fluid. Then, the separating force that peels the two non-woven fabrics from each other acts on the joints of the two non-woven fabrics. This separation force causes the two non-woven fabrics to peel apart from each other at the low-strength joint, increasing the substantial volume between the two non-woven fabrics and allowing the granular material to further absorb body fluid.
- the present article has a high-strength joint, and the high-strength joint is not likely to be peeled off by the separation force. Therefore, when the high-strength joint is formed on the periphery of the article, there is no possibility that body fluid leaks between the two nonwoven fabrics even if the area of the high-strength joint is reduced. On the other hand, when another high-strength joint is provided in a region inside the periphery of the article in addition to the high-strength joint formed at the periphery of the article, the granular material that has absorbed the body fluid is offset (biased). Can be prevented from occurring between the two nonwoven fabrics.

- the two sheets 21 and 22 are welded to each other with a small welding force that separates them from each other. That is, the welding force of the nonwoven fabrics 21 and 22 in the low strength joint part W3 is smaller than the welding force in the first and second high strength joint parts W1 and W2.
- the low-strength joint portion W3 provided adjacent to the inside of the first high-strength joint portion W1 is subjected to the separation force only from one side, so that the granular material 3 swells. Even in this case, it may be separated later than other low-strength joints W3 or may not be separated. This low strength joint W3 may be omitted.
- the second high-strength joint W2 maintains the joined state even after the granular material 3 swells. Therefore, it restrains that the granular material 3 that has become swollen and heavy moves freely in the inner region A. That is, the swollen granular material 3 is constrained in a region defined by the first high-strength joint W1 and the second high-strength joint W2. Therefore, it may be possible to prevent the granular material 3 from being arranged in a significantly large (biased) arrangement in the inner region A.

Abstract
Description
低強度接合部のみで両基材シートを接合すると、吸収性物品の周縁から、体液の漏れが生じたり、あるいは、前記周縁の接合部の面積を大きくする必要がある。
また、本発明の目的は、かかる吸収性物品の製造方法および装置を提供することである。
前記粒状体が配置されていない部位のうちの一部について前記2枚の不織布に超音波エネルギーを付与することで前記2枚の不織布の第1部を接合して、前記2枚の不織布を引き剥がす力により前記不織布同士が前記第1部において互いに分離しない少なくとも1つの高強度接合部を形成する工程と、
前記粒状体が配置されていない前記部位のうちの別の一部について前記2枚の不織布に超音波エネルギーを付与することで前記2枚の不織布の第2部を接合して、前記2枚の不織布を引き剥がす力により前記第2部において前記不織布同士が互いに分離することが可能な状態の少なくとも1つの低強度接合部を形成する工程とを備える。
前記2枚の不織布が重なり合った状態で、前記2枚の不織布を搬送するアンビルロールと、
前記アンビルロールに形成され前記アンビルロールの径方向の外方に向かって突出する複数の突部と、
前記突部上の不織布に前記粒状体が配置されるのを抑制する配置装置と、
超音波振動することにより前記複数の突部との間で前記2枚の不織布を接合して接合部を形成するホーンとを備え、ここにおいて前記突部は、
前記ホーンに最接近した時の前記ホーンまで第1距離を隔てて離れ、前記接合部において前記不織布同士を互いに引き剥がす力により前記不織布同士が互いに分離しない少なくとも1つの高強度接合部を形成するための少なくとも1つの第1突部と、
前記ホーンに最接近した時の前記ホーンまでの第2距離が前記第1距離よりも大きく、前記接合部において前記不織布同士を互いに引き剥がす力により前記不織布同士が互いに分離する少なくとも1つの低強度接合部を形成するための少なくとも1つの第2突部とを備える。
前記2枚の不織布が重なり合った状態で、前記2枚の不織布を搬送するアンビルロールと、
前記アンビルロールに形成され前記アンビルロールの径方向の外方に向かって突出する複数の突部と、
前記突部上の不織布に前記粒状体が配置されるのを抑制する配置装置と、
超音波振動することにより前記複数の突部との間で前記2枚の不織布を接合して接合部を形成するホーンとを備え、ここにおいて前記突部は、
前記ホーンに最接近した時の前記ホーンまで第1距離を隔てて離れ、前記接合部において前記不織布同士を互いに引き剥がす力により前記不織布同士が互いに分離しない少なくとも1つの高強度接合部を形成するための少なくとも1つの第1突部と、
前記ホーンに最接近した時の前記ホーンまでの第2距離が前記第1距離よりも大きく、前記接合部において前記不織布同士を互いに引き剥がす力により前記不織布同士が互いに分離する少なくとも1つの低強度接合部を形成するための少なくとも1つの第2突部とを備える。
前記低強度接合部を形成する工程は前記アンビルロールにおける前記低強度接合部を形成するための第2突部と超音波振動する前記ホーンとの間を前記2枚の不織布が通過することにより実行され、
前記第1突部と前記ホーンとが前記アンビルロールの法線上で対面した時のこれらの両者の間の第1距離に比べ、前記第2突部と前記ホーンとが前記法線上で対面した時のこれらの両者の間の第2距離の方が大きい。
この場合、前記内側領域において低強度接合部と低強度接合部との間の位置に高強度接合部が配置されるのが好ましい。
このような理由から前記距離の差は不織布の目付が10~20g/m2の場合、10μm~30μmが更に好ましく、12μm~16μmが最も好ましい。
以下、本発明の実施例1が図面にしたがって説明される。
図1~図7は実施例1を示す。
図1に示すように、本実施例の着用物品100は、吸収性本体(吸収性物品の一例)200、前胴回り部301および後胴回り部302を備えている。前記吸収性物品200は、着用者の前胴を覆うフロント部201、着用者の後胴を覆うバック部202、ならびに、前記フロント部201とバック部202との間の股間を覆う股部203を有している。
また、吸収性物品200には、着用者の脚部に沿って括れた脚回り部を形成してもよい。
なお、各図において溶着部位はxxや小さな黒い長方形で示される。
なお、各図において粒状体3は多数の微細なドットで示される。
また、各溶着ラインLは完全に連なっている必要はなく、各集合グループ30の粒状体3が他の集合グループ30に移動しにくい程度に溶着部位が断続的に形成されていてもよい。
本実施例においては、図3Aに示すように、前記溶着ラインLは、第1高強度接合部W1,第2高強度接合部W2および低強度接合部W3を包含する。
なお、製造方法を分り易くするため、前記第1高強度接合部W1が示される各図において、前記長方形状の溶着部位同士の間隔は胴回り方向Xおよび縦方向Yに若干離れて示されているが、実際には同溶着部位同士の間隔は両方向Y,Xにおいて殆ど隙間なく千鳥配列されて実質的に連続している。
すなわち、たとえば図1に示すように、第1高強度接合部W1に囲まれた前記内側領域Aの中央において前記縦方向Yに2列に延びるように形成されてもよい。
この第2高強度接合部W2は図中において黒く塗り潰した長方形で表示されている。
すなわち、第1高強度接合部W1および第2高強度接合部W2において、トップシート21とカバーシート22とを引き剥がす力を付与すると、両者21,22は分離せずに破断ないし一方の不織布に孔が明く程の大きな溶着力で溶着されている。
換言すれば、第1高強度接合部W1および第2高強度接合部W2自体の強度は、トップシート21やカバーシート22の素材よりも大きな強度であり、両シート21,22に外力が負荷されると応力集中により第1高強度接合部W1,第2高強度接合部W2の近傍においてトップシート21またはカバーシート22が破断する。
すなわち、低強度接合部W3における不織布21,22の溶着力は、第1および第2高強度接合部W1,W2における溶着力よりも小さい。
これにより、使用前の吸収性本体200の厚さが小さくても、多量の体液を吸収することができる。
すなわち、前記第1高強度接合部W1と第2高強度接合部W2とで定義される領域内に膨潤した粒状体3が拘束される。
したがって、内側領域Aにおいて粒状体3が著しく大きく片寄った(偏った)配置となるのを防止し得るだろう。
また、前記物品200の周縁に設けられた第1高強度接合部W1の内側に隣接する前記低強度接合部W3が設けられていない場合は、前記第1高強度接合部W1と低強度接合部W3とで配置エリアDが囲まれていてもよい。あるいは、前記配置エリアDは前記第1高強度接合部W1、第2高強度接合部W2および低強度接合部W3で囲まれていてもよい。
図4Aに示すように、本装置はアンビルロール4のまわりに、供給装置5、第1、第2導入ロール71,72および超音波ホーン81を備える。
前記吸収性物品200における前記トップシート21およびカバーシート22(図2)は、それぞれ、前記キャリアウエブ1およびカバーウエブ2から生成される。
前記無数の粒状体3の供給はキャリアウエブ1の単位面積当りにつき所定量ずつ断続的ないし連続的に供給される。
前記吸引孔40および吸引エリア1Bは複数設けられ、所定のパターンで配置される図1の複数の配置エリアDを定義するように設けられている。前記複数の配置エリアDは前記粒状体の集合を区画して配置するためのエリアである。
前記第1突部44Aには吐出孔42が形成されていなくてもよい。なぜならば、供給装置5から供給される粒状体3の供給幅が吸収性物品200における粒状体3の配置幅とほぼ同じ幅で供給される場合、キャリアウエブ1の周縁には粒状体3が殆ど供給されないため、吐出孔42の形成は不要となる。
なお、前記第1突部44Aに、第1突部44Bおよび第2突部45と同様の前記吐出孔42が形成されていてもよい。
図4Aに示すように、前記供給装置5から前記キャリアウエブ1上に供給された粒状体3は配置装置(吸引孔40および吐出孔42)により前記キャリアウエブ1が下流へ搬送されるにしたがい各集合グループ30に互いに区画される。
こうしてアンビルロール4は前記サンドイッチ構造体20を搬送する。
なお、図6Bのアンビルロール4の吸引孔40に吸引される第1エアα1により、前記第2面12および粒状体3上に導入された前記カバーウエブ2はアンビルロール4の内側に向って凹んでいる。
なお、図7Bにおいて構造を分り易くするため、前記第1突部44Bが前記第2突部45よりも大きく突出している様子を誇張して示している。
図6Aのアンビル4Rの外周面の周方向に直交する幅方向において、第2突部45が存在する場合、いずれか少なくとも1つの箇所または複数の箇所には第1突部44A,44Bが配置されていてもよい。このような配置により、ホーン81はウエブ1,2(図7B)を介して第1突部44A,44Bに強く当接し、一方、第2突部45に弱く当接する。そのため、図1の高強度接合部W1,W2および低強度接合部W3について所期の接合強度が得易いだろう。
したがって、図1の物品100においては、低強度接合部W3が存在する縦方向Yの同じ位置には少なくとも1つの又は複数の高強度接合部W1,W2が存在するのが好ましい。
なお、図4Bにおいて、アンビルロール4に形成された各突部44,45とホーン81との関係を分り易くするため、各要素が誇張されて示されている。
前記第1距離Δ1および第2距離Δ2の設定は、溶着する不織布の目付け、ホーンのアンビルへの押し付け荷重、並びに、溶着機の能力等の様々な条件に基づいて決定されるべきである。たとえば、一例を挙げると、不織布21の目付が10g/m2で、不織布22の目付が10g/m2の場合、前記第1距離Δ1は50μm程度に設定され、前記第2距離Δ2は65μm程度に設定されてもよい。
なお、一般に両距離Δ1,Δ2の差Δは12μm~16μm程度に設定されてもよい。
一方、図1の前記内側領域Aに前記第2高強度接合部W2を形成するために、図6Aの第1突部44Bが前記アンビルロール4に配置されている。
図1の前記低強度接合部W3が前記第1高強度接合部W1に囲まれた内側領域Aに形成されるように、図6Aの前記第2突部45が前記アンビルロール4に配置されている。
図4Aに示すように、第1導入ロール71によりキャリアウエブ1がアンビルロール4に導入されキャリアウエブ1の第1面11がアンビルロール4の搬送面41で吸着保持されながら、前記キャリアウエブ1が所定の搬送経路つまり前記搬送ドラム4の搬送面41に沿って搬送される。
図6Bに示されるアンビル4Rに形成された前記吸引孔40に向かって第1エアα1が吸引されることで、前記供給された粒状体3は前記キャリアウエブ1上に吸着保持される。
なお、第1エアα1の少なくとも一部にキャリアウエブ1の前記第2面12に沿う方向の流れの成分を付与する気流偏向体がキャリアウエブ1の第2面12に対向して設けられてもよい。(PCT/JP2012/52371)
粒状体3の層の厚さはアンビルロール4の軸方向において中央が両端よりも厚くてもよい。また、粒状体3の層の厚さは、1つの吸収性本体200(図1)の周縁において薄く、かつ、中央やその近傍において厚くてもよい。
一方、前記第1エアα1の吸引を行いながら、前記搬送面41の前記突部44Bおよび45を含む非吸引エリア4Aにおいて開口する吐出孔42から前記キャリアウエブ1の第2面12に向って第2エアα2が吐出される。
すなわち、前記非吸引エリア1Aにおける一部の粒状体3は、前記吸引エリア1Bにおいて吸引保持されている別の粒状体3に向って移動する。その結果、図1に示すように、所定のパターンで互いに区画された前記配置エリアDごとに、複数の粒状体3からなる各集合グループ30がキャリアウエブ1上に配置される。
図7Bの前記超音波溶着の際に、前記ホーン81と前記第1突部44A,44B(図6B)との第1距離Δ1は小さく、そのため、溶着エネルギーが大きく、不織布同士(トップシート21およびカバーシート22)が互いに前記分離力で分離しない第1および第2高強度接合部W1,W2(図3B)が形成される。
なお、前述のとおり、製造方法を分かり易くするため、前記第1高強度接合部W1を示す黒い長方形同士の間隔は誇張して大きく図示されている。
一方、第2高強度接合部W2は各配置エリアDを区画することなく、胴回り方向Xおよび/または縦方向Yに部分的に延びるように設けられてもよい。たとえば、図9Aのように、胴回り方向Xに延びる高強度接合部W2と縦方向Yに延びる高強度接合部W2とがT字状に配置されてもよい。
更に、高強度接合部W2および低強度接合部W3の配置について、図1と図9A~図9Bとを組み合わせた配置であってもよい。
なお、第2高強度接合部W2は不連続である方が、ゴワツキが小さく、着用感が良いだろうし、また、配置エリアD間の圧力調整にも役立つだろう。
たとえば、本物品においては、トップシート21とカバーシート22との接合方法として、超音波溶着の他に、たとえばヒートシールなどの熱溶着による接合方法が用いられてもよい。
また、本発明における「複数の粒状体」とは、粒状の材料の集合体のみからなる場合の他に、複数の粒状体に粉状の材料が混合されている場合も含む概念である。
