There are concerns that this will have a negative impact. Therefore, when the protrusion 26 is relatively large, it is preferable that the relatively large protrusion 26 is unevenly distributed in a part of the periphery of the opening 22 as shown in FIG. In such a form, the material for forming the finite protrusion 26 may be selectively distributed to the necessary portions around the opening 22 to make the protrusion 26 at that portion relatively large.

It is preferable that the outer end portion 24S is positioned outward in the one direction with respect to the protruding portion 26 in the vicinity of the convex portion 24A. As described above, the outermost end 24S is positioned more outward than the protrusion 26 in any of the in-plane directions of the topsheet 2 to form the first nonwoven fabric 24A.

Abstract
Description
また一般に、表面シート2の第1方向Xは、第1不織布20及び第2不織布21の原反の繰り出し方向、並びに表面シート2の製造時における搬送方向(MD)と一致する場合が多い。また一般に、第1不織布20及び第2不織布21が例えば不織布である場合には、表面シート2の第1方向Xは、両不織布20,21の構成繊維の主たる繊維配向方向と一致する場合が多い。
測定対象(不織布)から繊維を取り出し、その繊維に対する水の接触角を測定する。測定装置として、協和界面科学株式会社製の自動接触角計MCA-Jを用いる。接触角の測定には蒸留水を用いる。インクジェット方式水滴吐出部(クラスターテクノロジー社製、吐出部孔径が25μmのパルスインジェクターCTC-25)から吐出される液量を20ピコリットルに設定して、水滴を、繊維の真上に滴下する。滴下の様子を水平に設置されたカメラに接続された高速度録画装置に録画する。録画装置は後に画像解析をする観点から、高速度キャプチャー装置が組み込まれたパーソナルコンピュータが望ましい。本測定では、17msec毎に画像が録画される。録画された映像において、繊維に水滴が着滴した最初の画像を、付属ソフトFAMAS(ソフトのバージョンは2.6.2、解析手法は液滴法、解析方法はθ/2法、画像処理アルゴリズムは無反射、画像処理イメージモードはフレーム、スレッシホールドレベルは200、曲率補正はしない、とする)にて画像解析を行い、水滴の空気に触れる面と繊維とのなす角を算出し、接触角とする。測定対象物から取り出した繊維は、繊維長1mmに裁断し、該繊維を接触角計のサンプル台に載せて、水平に維持する。繊維1本につき異なる2箇所の接触角を測定する。N=5本の接触角を小数点以下1桁まで計測し、合計10箇所の測定値を平均した値(小数点以下第2桁で四捨五入)を、当該繊維の水との接触角と定義する。測定環境は、室温22±2℃、湿度65±2%RHとする。
即ち、尿などの低粘度排泄物は、毛管力が作用しやすいため、繊維密度が高い部分に移行しやすいところ、開孔及びその周囲の融着部並びに着用者の肌側に突出する凸部を有する従来の表面シートとサブレイヤとを組み合わせて用いた場合、軟便などの高粘度排泄物の吸収性は該開孔及び該サブレイヤによって確保されるものの、該表面シート側全体が高繊維密度部、該サブレイヤ側全体が低繊維密度部となる疎密勾配が形成されることに起因して、低粘度排泄物が該サブレイヤ側へ移行し難くなるという場合があった。
これに対し、おむつ1においては前述したように、その着用時に表面シート2の突起部26がサブレイヤ3を部分的に押圧するようになされ、サブレイヤ3にその押圧部(突起部26)のパターンに対応するパターンで高繊維密度部30が形成される結果、サブレイヤ3の面内方向に高繊維密度部30及び低繊維密度部31が複数分散配置されるため、高粘度排泄物の吸収性を低繊維密度部31によって維持しつつ、低粘度排泄物の引き込み性を高繊維密度部30で確保することができ、低粘度排泄物及び高粘度排泄物の両方に対して優れた吸収性能を発揮し得る。
開孔22の開孔面積は、好ましくは1mm2以上、さらに好ましくは2mm2以上、そして、好ましくは100mm2以下、さらに好ましくは50mm2以下である。
開孔22の差し渡し長さは、好ましくは1mm以上、さらに好ましくは2mm以上、そして、好ましくは10mm以下、さらに好ましくは7mm以下である。ここでいう、開孔22の差し渡し長さは、開孔22の最も広い位置での長さを意味し、開孔22の平面視形状が図3に示す如き円形状の場合は直径を意味する。
単位面積(1cm2)当たりの開孔22の数は、好ましくは1個以上、さらに好ましくは4個以上、そして、好ましくは50個以下、さらに好ましくは30個以下である。
突起部26を有する融着部23は、開孔22の周囲に形成されるため、融着部23(突起部26)の数及び配置は、基本的に、開孔22の数及び配置に対応したものとなる。
凸部24の図3に示す如き平面視における面積(底部面積)は、好ましくは1mm2以上、さらに好ましくは4mm2以上、そして、好ましくは400mm2以下、さらに好ましくは300mm2以下である。
単位面積(1cm2)当たりの凸部24の数は、好ましくは1個以上、さらに好ましくは3個以上、そして、好ましくは15個以下、さらに好ましくは12個以下である。
不織布、紙等の繊維集合体の平均繊維間距離は、Wrotnowskiの仮定に基づく下記式(1)により求められる。下記式(1)は一般に、繊維集合体の繊維間距離を求める際に用いられる。Wrotnowskiの仮定の下では、繊維は円柱状であり、それぞれの繊維は交わることなく規則正しく並んでいる。
測定対象のシート(サブレイヤ)が単層構造の場合、その単層構造のシートの平均繊維間距離は下記式(1)で求められる。
測定対象のシート(サブレイヤ)が公知のSMS不織布の如き多層構造の場合、その多層構造のシートの平均繊維間距離は以下の手順に従って求められる。
まず、下記式(1)により、多層構造を構成する各層の平均繊維間距離を算出する。その際、下記式(1)で用いる厚みt、坪量W、繊維密度ρ及び繊維径Dは、それぞれ、測定対象の層についてのものを用い、厚みtについては、測定対象の層の厚み方向に沿う断面の顕微鏡観察により測定する。厚みt、坪量W及び繊維径Dは、それぞれ、複数の測定点における測定値の平均値である。坪量W(g/m2)は、測定対象のシートを所定の大きさにカットし、重量測定後に、その重量測定値を、該所定の大きさから求まる面積で除することで求められる。繊維密度ρ(g/cm3)は、密度勾配管を使用して、JISL1015化学繊維ステープル試験方法に記載の密度勾配管法の測定方法に準じて測定する(URLはhttp://kikakurui.com/l/L1015-2010-01.html、書籍ならJISハンドブック繊維-2000、(日本規格協会)のP.764~765に記載)。繊維径D(μm)は、走査型電子顕微鏡(セイコーインスツルメンツ株式会社製DSC6200)を用いて、カットした繊維の繊維断面を10本測定し、その平均値を繊維径とする。
次に、各層の平均繊維間距離に、多層構造全体の厚みに占める該層の厚みの割合を乗じ、さらに、そうして得られた各層ごとの数値を合計することで、目的とする多層構造のシートの構成繊維の平均繊維間距離が求められる。例えば、2層のS層と1層のM層とからなる3層構造のSMS不織布において、2層のS層をまとめて1つの層として扱い、3層構造全体の厚みtが0.11mm、S層の厚みtが0.1mm、S層の平均繊維間距離LSが47.8μm、M層の厚みtが0.01mm、M層の平均繊維間距離LSが3.2μmの場合、斯かるSMS不織布の構成繊維の平均繊維間距離は、43.8μm〔=(47.9×0.1+3.2×0.01)/0.11〕となる。
また、第1ロール51の半径は、好ましくは30mm以上、さらに好ましくは50mm以上、そして、好ましくは300mm以下、さらに好ましくは200mm以下である。
また、本発明の立体開孔シートの製造方法においては、第1不織布と第2不織布との融着方法(融着部の形成方法)は、前記実施形態の如き、被加工物の加熱に制限されず、要は不織布の形成材料を溶融させ得る方法であれば良く、超音波などを利用しても良い。
本発明は、前記実施形態の如き展開型の使い捨ておむつに制限されず、人体から排出される体液(尿、軟便、経血、汗等)の吸収に用いられる物品を広く包含し、パンツ型の使い捨ておむつ、生理用ナプキン、生理用ショーツ等も包含される。
