Abstract
Description
しかしながら、表面シートを構成するコットン不織布は、着用者から排出された尿などの液状排泄物を吸収して、保持し易い性質を有しているため、特許文献1に開示された吸収性物品は、着用者から尿などの液状排泄物が排泄されると、当該液状排泄物が表面シートにおいて吸収、保持されて、表面シートが湿潤した状態となり、着用者がべたつき感などの不快な感覚を感じてしまい、結果的に吸収性物品の着用感が低下する虞があった。
仮に、このような技術を吸収性物品の表面シートに適用しようとすると、当該吸収性物品を着用した着用者が、立ったり、座ったり、歩いたりする等の動作を行ったときに、着用者の肌面(具体的には、刺激を感じ易い股間部及びその周辺の肌面)と表面シートの肌対向面側の表面とが擦れて、着用者が、表面シートの起毛繊維によってチクチク感などの不快な刺激を感じてしまい、結果的に吸収性物品の着用感が低下する虞があった。
前記吸収性物品は、前記長手方向における一方側端縁部及び他方側端縁部を有し、
さらに、前記吸収性物品は、平面視にて、
前記一方側端縁部及び前記幅方向に延びる長手方向中心軸線の間に位置し且つ前記幅方向に延びる幅方向第1仮想直線と、前記他方側端縁部及び前記長手方向中心軸線の間に位置し且つ前記幅方向に延びる幅方向第2仮想直線と、の間に位置する長手方向中央領域と;

さらに、前記表面シートは、前記厚さ方向において前記吸収性物品の肌対向面側に向かって突出し且つ前記幅方向に連続的に延びる凸部と、前記厚さ方向において前記吸収性物品の非肌対向面側に向かって窪み且つ前記凸部と並行して連続的に延びる凹部とが交互に配置された凹凸構造を備えている、前記吸収性物品である。
さらに、本態様の吸収性物品は、前記表面シートが、吸収性物品の幅方向に連続的に延びる凸部と、該凸部と並行して連続的に延びる凹部とが交互に配置された特定の凹凸構造を備えているため、着用者の曲率の大きい部分(股間部の腹側部分や臀部等)に対応する長手方向へ曲がり易く(なお、凸部及び凹部がそれぞれ幅方向に延びている場合、表面シートは長手方向へ曲がり易くなる。)、着用者の身体形状に沿って長手方向へ容易に変形することができる。この長手方向への変形によって、吸収性物品が、着用者に対して固定されてズレ難くなり、着用者の動作時においても、上述の長手方向中央領域を吸収性物品の所定領域、すなわち、着用者の排泄口に対応する領域に着実に位置決めすることができるため、上述の作用効果(すなわち、前記長手方向中央領域において優れた吸収性能を発揮しつつ、良好な着用感を着用者に提供することができるという作用効果)を、着用者の動作時においても的確に発揮することができる。
前記吸収性物品は、前記幅方向における一方側端縁部及び他方側端縁部を有し、
さらに、前記吸収性物品は、平面視にて、
前記一方側端縁部及び前記長手方向に延びる幅方向中心軸線の間に位置し且つ前記長手方向に延びる長手方向第1仮想直線と、前記他方側端縁部及び前記長手方向に延びる幅方向中心軸線の間に位置し且つ前記長手方向に延びる長手方向第2仮想直線と、の間に位置する幅方向中央領域と;

前記他方側端縁部及び前記長手方向第2仮想直線の間に位置する幅方向第2領域と;を有し、
前記表面シートは、前記幅方向中央領域における、前記不織布を構成する繊維の毛羽立ち量が、前記幅方向第1領域及び前記幅方向第2領域からなる幅方向端部領域における前記繊維の毛羽立ち量よりも多く、
さらに、前記表面シートは、前記厚さ方向において前記吸収性物品の肌対向面側に向かって突出し且つ前記幅方向に連続的に延びる凸部と、前記厚さ方向において前記吸収性物品の非肌対向面側に向かって窪み且つ前記凸部と並行して連続的に延びる凹部とが交互に配置された凹凸構造を備えている、前記吸収性物品である。
さらに、本態様の吸収性物品は、前記表面シートが、吸収性物品の幅方向に連続的に延びる凸部と、該凸部と並行して連続的に延びる凹部とが交互に配置された特定の凹凸構造を備えているため、着用者の曲率の大きい部分(股間部の腹側部分や臀部等)に対応する長手方向へ曲がり易く(なお、凸部及び凹部がそれぞれ幅方向に延びている場合、表面シートは長手方向へ曲がり易くなる。)、着用者の身体形状に沿って長手方向へ容易に変形することができる。この長手方向への変形によって、吸収性物品が、着用者に対して固定されてズレ難くなり、着用者の動作時においても、上述の幅方向中央領域を吸収性物品の所定領域、すなわち、着用者の排泄口に対応する領域に着実に位置決めすることができるため、上述の作用効果(すなわち、前記幅方向中央領域において優れた吸収性能を発揮しつつ、良好な着用感を着用者に提供することができるという作用効果)を、着用者の動作時においても的確に発揮することができる。
したがって、本態様の吸収性物品は、上述の良好な着用感を維持しつつ、より優れた吸収性能を発揮することができる。
さらに、液状排泄物の吸収後は、上記空洞部が減少又は消失することにより、表面シートと該表面シートの非肌対向面側に配置される層(例えば、中間シートや吸収体等)との間の距離が短くなるため、液状排泄物が、表面シートから該表面シートの非肌対向面側に配置される層へと移行し易くなり、表面シート内に残留する液状排泄物に起因するべたつきがより生じ難くなる。
したがって、本態様の吸収性物品は、上述の優れた吸収性能を維持しつつ、液状排泄物の吸収前後において、更に優れた着用感を着用者に提供することができる。
本明細書において、「幅方向」は、「平面視における縦長の対象物の長さの短い方向(短手方向)」を指し、「長手方向」は、「平面視における縦長の対象物の長さの長い方向」を指し、「厚さ方向」は、「展開した状態で水平面上に置いた対象物に対して垂直方向」を指し、これらの幅方向、長手方向及び厚さ方向は、それぞれ互いに直交する関係にある。
さらに、本明細書では、特に断りのない限り、吸収性物品の厚さ方向において、「吸収性物品の着用時に、着用者の肌面に対して相対的に近位側」を「肌対向面側」といい、「吸収性物品の着用時に、着用者の肌面に対して相対的に遠位側」を「非肌対向面側」という。
なお、本実施形態においては、表面シート2と中間シート4との間及び中間シート4と裏面シート3との間は、図3に示すように、それぞれ後述するホットメルト型接着剤による第1接着層A1及び第2接着層A2を介して接合されている。
なお、本発明において、長手方向の一方側端縁部及び長手方向中心軸線の間における前記幅方向第1仮想直線の位置と、長手方向の他方側端縁部及び前記長手方向中心軸線の間における前記幅方向第2仮想直線の位置は、上述の長手方向中央領域が着用者の排泄口に対応する領域を長手方向において包含する(すなわち、上述の長手方向中央領域の長手方向長さが着用者の排泄口に対応する領域の長手方向長さよりも長くなる)ように、吸収性物品の種類等に応じて適宜設定されるものである。例えば、上述の実施形態においては、幅方向第1仮想直線LW1と幅方向第2仮想直線LW2は、パンティーライナー1を長手方向Lに略3等分する位置にそれぞれ設定されている。
なお、繊維の毛羽立ち量等については、後述の表面シートの説明の際に併せて詳説する。
なお、本実施形態においては、上記凹凸構造20における凸部21は、表面シート2の前記非肌対向面側の表面2bが面する空洞部23を更に有しているが、本発明においてはこのような形態に限定されず、表面シートの凹凸構造は、上述のような空洞部を有していなくてもよい。
本実施形態に係るパンティーライナー1において、表面シート2は、図1及び図3に示すように、着用者の肌面に直に接触し得る、パンティーライナー1の厚さ方向Tにおける肌対向面側の位置に配置されていて、パンティーライナー1の肌対向面側の表面を形成する前記表面2aと、該表面2aとは反対側の表面である前記非肌対向面側の表面2bとを有し、且つ上述の特定の凹凸構造20を有する不織布によって構成されている。
したがって、表面シートとして親水性繊維によって形成された不織布を用いることで、吸収性物品は、良好な着用感を維持しつつ、より優れた吸収性能を発揮することができる。
なお、本発明において、表面シートを構成する不織布は、吸収性物品の表面シートとして機能し得るものであれば特に制限されず、上述の親水性繊維によって形成された不織布のほか、吸収性物品が吸収体等の吸収層を別途備えている場合などでは、親水化処理を施した熱可塑性樹脂繊維からなる不織布や、親水性繊維と疎水性繊維の混合繊維からなる不織布などの任意の不織布を用いることができる。
(1)測定対象のシートから、所定サイズ(例えば、100mm×100mm)のサンプルシートを切り出す。
(2)切り出したサンプルシートを、カトーテック(株)の自動化圧縮試験機「KES FB-3A」にセットして、当該試験機の測定端子によるサンプルシートへの圧力が49Paのときの厚み(mm)を測定し、この測定された厚み(mm)をサンプルシートの厚みとする。
(1)表面シートを構成する不織布から、測定対象領域を所定サイズ(例えば、300mm×150mm)で切り出し、測定用サンプルを得る。
(2)測定用サンプルを、染色物摩擦堅牢度試験機((株)大栄科学精機製作所製)の測定用ステージ上に固定する。
(3)染色部摩擦堅牢度試験機の摩擦端子の上面に200gの錘を取り付けるとともに、下面に摩擦面を形成する布テープを貼り付ける。
(4)測定用ステージ上に固定された測定サンプルの表面を、上述の摩擦端子における摩擦面で擦る。このとき、摩擦端子の往復回数は3回、摩擦端子の移動範囲(往復幅)は120mmである。
(5)摩擦端子で擦った後の、測定サンプルの表面の毛羽立ち状態を観察する。
したがって、本実施形態のように、不織布からなる表面シート2の前記長手方向中央領域ALCにおける繊維の毛羽立ち量が、前記長手方向端部領域における繊維の毛羽立ち量よりも多い(換言すると、前記長手方向端部領域における繊維の毛羽立ち量が、前記長手方向中央領域ALCにおける繊維の毛羽立ち量よりも少ない)と、着用者の動作による影響を受け難い前記長手方向中央領域ALCにおいては、上述の毛羽立ちによる優れた吸収性能を発揮することができる一方、着用者の動作時に着用者の肌面と擦れ易い前記長手方向端部領域においては、繊維の毛羽立ちによるチクチク感などの不快な刺激が着用者に感取され難く、良好な着用感を着用者に提供することができる。
表面シートが親水性繊維によって形成された不織布からなり、且つ、表面シートにおける凹凸構造の凸部が上述のような空洞部を有していると、かかる表面シートを備えた吸収性物品は、着用者から排泄される液状排泄物の吸収前においては、上記空洞部によって良好なクッション性を発揮することができる一方、液状排泄物の吸収後においては、表面シートを構成する不織布の親水性繊維間の空隙が液状排泄物によって減少することにより、上記空洞部も減少又は消失し、着用者の肌面と表面シートとの間に空隙が形成され易くなるため、表面シートに保持された液状排泄物が着用者の肌面に接触し難くなり、当該液状排泄物に起因するべたつきが着用者に感取され難くなる。さらに、液状排泄物の吸収後は、上記空洞部が減少又は消失することにより、表面シートと該表面シートの非肌対向面側に配置される層(例えば、中間シートや吸収体等)との間の距離が短くなるため、液状排泄物が、表面シートから該表面シートの非肌対向面側に配置される層へと移行し易くなり、表面シート内に残留する液状排泄物に起因するべたつきがより生じ難くなる。
したがって、このような表面シートを備えた吸収性物品は、上述の優れた吸収性能を維持しつつ、液状排泄物の吸収前後において、更に優れた着用感を着用者に提供することができる。
表面シートとこれらの構成部材(すなわち、中間シート、吸収層又は裏面シート)とを接合する手段は、特に制限されず、例えば、ホットメルト型接着剤やヒートシール等の熱融着法などの任意の接合手段を採用することができる。
本実施形態に係るパンティーライナー1において、中間シート4は、図3に示すように、パンティーライナー1の厚さ方向Tにおいて表面シート2と裏面シート3との間に位置するように配置されて、表面シートの強度を補強したり、パンティーライナー1の厚さ方向Tにクッション性を付与したりするように機能するものである。なお、この中間シートが、表面シートに接合されていると、表面シートの強度ひいては吸収性物品の強度が補強されて、吸収性物品にヨレが生じ難くなるため、吸収性物品の着用感を更に向上させることができる。
また、本発明の吸収性物品において、中間シートは必須の構成要素ではないため、吸収性物品の柔軟性等を考慮して、吸収性物品は中間シートを省いた構成とすることもできる。
本実施形態において、裏面シート3は、図3に示すように、パンティーライナー1の厚さ方向Tにおける非肌対向面側の位置に配置されていて、通気性を備えつつも、着用者から排出された尿などの液状排泄物の透過を防止し、当該液状排泄物が着用者の着衣等に漏れ出ないように機能する液不透過性シートによって構成されている。
なお、裏面シートとして疎水性不織布を用いる場合、その疎水性の程度は上述の中間シートと同様であり、疎水性不織布の表面に水を滴下したときに、滴下した水を吸収しない程度の疎水性であれば足りるが、液状排泄物の漏れ難さや湿潤時のヨレ難さ等の点から、疎水性不織布の表面に水を滴下したときに、滴下した水が疎水性不織布の表面で弾かれて水滴を形成する程度の疎水性(いわゆる、撥水性)であることが更に好ましい。
上述の実施形態において、パンティーライナー1は、図3に示すように、表面シート2、中間シート4及び裏面シート3が、各シート間(すなわち、表面シート2と中間シート4との間、及び中間シート4と裏面シート3との間)のそれぞれに配置された、ホットメルト型接着剤による第1接着層A1及び第2接着層A2を介して、互いに接合されている。このように、表面シートと中間シートとの間、及び中間シートと裏面シートとの間が、それぞれ第1接着層及び第2接着層を介して接合されていると、これら各シート間における位置ずれや変形が生じ難くなるため、吸収性物品の吸収性能や着用感等がより安定して維持され易くなる。
なお、本発明において、幅方向の一方側端縁部及び幅方向中心軸線の間における前記長手方向第1仮想直線の位置と、幅方向の他方側端縁部及び前記長手方向中心軸線の間における前記長手方向第2仮想直線の位置は、上述の幅方向中央領域が着用者の排泄口に対応する領域を幅方向において包含する(すなわち、上述の幅方向中央領域の幅方向長さが着用者の排泄口に対応する領域の幅方向長さよりも長くなる)ように、吸収性物品の種類等に応じて適宜設定されるものである。例えば、上述の第2実施形態においては、長手方向第1仮想直線LL1と長手方向第2仮想直線LL2は、パンティーライナー1を幅方向に略3等分する位置にそれぞれ設定されている。
すなわち、この第2実施形態に係るパンティーライナー10においても、表面シート2は、前記厚さ方向Tにおいてパンティーライナー10の肌対向面側に向かって突出し且つ前記幅方向Wに連続的に延びる凸部21と、前記厚さ方向Tにおいてパンティーライナー10の非肌対向面側に向かって窪み且つ前記凸部21と並行して連続的に延びる凹部22とが交互に配置された、特定の凹凸構造20を備えている。
さらに、本実施形態のパンティーライナー10においても、表面シート2が、パンティーライナー10の幅方向Wに連続的に延びる凸部21と、該凸部21と並行して連続的に延びる凹部22とが交互に配置された特定の凹凸構造20を備えているため、上記したとおり、着用者の曲率の大きい部分(股間部の腹側部分や臀部等)に対応する長手方向Lへ曲がり易く、着用者の身体形状に沿って長手方向Lへ容易に変形することができる。この長手方向Lへの変形によって、パンティーライナー10が、着用者に対して固定されてズレ難くなり、着用者の動作時においても、上述の幅方向中央領域AWCをパンティーライナー10の所定領域、すなわち、着用者の排泄口に対応する領域に着実に位置決めすることができるため、上述の作用効果(すなわち、前記幅方向中央領域AWCにおいて優れた吸収性能を発揮しつつ、良好な着用感を着用者に提供することができるという作用効果)を、着用者の動作時においても的確に発揮することができる。
また、上述の各実施形態におけるパンティーライナーは、表面シート2が吸収層として機能し得るもので形成されていたため、尿などの液状排泄物を吸収・保持するための吸収体等の吸収層が別途設けられていないが、本発明の吸収性物品においては、本発明の効果を阻害しない限りこのような吸収層を備えていてもよい。具体的には、本発明の吸収性物品は、本発明の効果を阻害しない限り、例えば、表面シートと中間シートとの間及び/又は中間シートと裏面シートとの間の位置に、液状排泄物を吸収・保持することのできる吸収層が配置されていてもよい。例えば、表面シートと中間シートとの間にこのような吸収層が配置されていると、表面シートを透過した液状排泄物が、吸収層において吸収・保持されるため、液状排泄物の吸収性物品からの漏出や液戻り等を抑制することができ、結果的に、吸収性物品の良好な着用感をより確実に着用者に提供することができる。
