【発明の詳細な説明】
生理用ナプキンまたは失禁防護帯
本発明はケーシング内に密閉された吸収性物体よりなる、例えば、生理用ナプキ
ン、パンティ保護帯または失禁防護帯などの吸収性物品に関するものである。
この種の物品は従来のパンツまたはパンティの内側に着用されるようにできてい
て、パンツの股に配置される。この物品は通常は物品に設けられた圧感接着剤の
ビーズの助けを得てパンツに固着される。
この種の公知物品についての一つの特に大きな問題は承服できない程の漏れ頻度
が高いことである。生理用ナプキンやパンティ保護帯の場合に、こうした漏れは
これによって起きる肉体的不快感のみならず、着用者の衣服の変色ま −たは全
体的な損傷を起すことになる。
漏れは物品の長い側縁におこるのが通例である。
この理由は子供のおむつまたは重い失禁に悩む人々の用いるおむつといった物品
はこれが使用者の大腿部間の空間に着用されるためには比較的幅を狭くした形状
に作らなければならないことである。物品に当ってこれに吸収される液体は湿潤
点を中心にあらゆる方向からほぼ同じ速度で物品内に拡散する。生理用ナプキン
などのごとき吸収性製品は通常細長くした方形をしているので、物品が吸収した
液体は物品の各端部分の吸収性が利用されるよりもずっと前に物品の側縁に達す
る。この種の物品での側縁の漏れに対するもう一つの理由はこの物品が使用中に
ひどく変形していることである。この変形は着用者の大腿部間に位置するために
着用者の大腿部によって機械的な力を受ける物品の部分内において最も顕著であ
る。この結果、着用者が排出した体液を最初に捕取する目的に作っである丁度そ
の部域内の物品の幅がさらに減少することになる。物品をパンツ内に着付けた最
初の位置が間違っていたために、または物品が使用中に間違った位置へ移動して
いたために漏れが起ることもある。
生理用ナプキンおよびその同類物での漏れの危険を少なくする一つの方法は、物
品の吸収力を過度に大きくすることによって、着用者の股部分における狭い物品
幅を補償することにある。この方法もまた、もし着用者のパンツ内における物品
の位置を間違えた場合には、ある程度は漏れの危険を小さくするであろう。
しかし、漏れの問題に対する完全な解決策とはならない。本文に意味するような
吸収性物品は繊維素毛羽の吸収パッドを備えていることが普通である。その理由
は毛羽は比較的安価な原料であり、十分に試みられた製造技術で処理することが
できるからである6毛羽を吸収性材料として使用する場合の主要な欠点は体積単
位当りの吸収性が比較的低いことである。その結果として、繊維素毛羽で製造さ
れた製品は、所望の吸収容量が大きくなればなるほど、必然的に厚さが大きくな
り且つ不細工の程度も犬きくなる。生理用ナプキン、パンティ保護帯、および軽
い失禁に苦しむ人々用の失禁防護帯などの物品は成人、それも多くは健康で働け
る人々が着用することを目的にしたものである。従って、こうした物品は在来の
衣服の下に着用した場合目立たず、それでいて漏れないことが使用者の望む所で
ある。
物品はまた着用して不快感を与えず、着用者の皮膚をこすってひりひりさせたり
、刺激したりしないことである。この点において、着用者の皮膚に一番近い位置
にある物品の表面が体液を吸収後も、できる限り乾いていることが重要である。
これは簡単にはできない。特に吸収性物が生理用ナプキンである場合、容易には
達成できない。その理由は月経鹿液は粘度が高いので生理用ナプキンの表面に付
着しがちであるからである。生理用ナプキンにも失禁防護帯にも特に顕著な所謂
再湿潤が今一つの問題点である。再湿潤は吸収バットに既に吸収されてしまった
体液が外力によって、例えば着用者が着座する場合などに着用者の皮膚の方へ押
し戻されることを意味する。
しかし、本発明は漏れない且つ別個の部分から成り、再湿潤傾向が低い吸収性物
の製造に関連する先きに述べた諸々の問題を本質的に解決する文頭に定義したよ
うな物品を提供するものである。
本発明の物品は吸収パッドが親水性繊維と超吸収性材料の混合を含む第1吸収層
と良好な液体展延性を有する高圧縮性液体吸収性繊維材料よりなる第2吸収層と
よりなり、上記において第1吸収Mは使用中着用者の方に面するよつにした物品
側に位置し、第2吸収層は使用中は着用者から遠い物品側で第1吸収層と直かに
接続した位置にあるようにしたことを主たる特徴としている。
本発明のさらに別の特徴および発明の利点は付属の発明の請求範囲において述べ
る。
本発明の互に異なる吸収特性を有する二つ吸収層の組合せによって多数の利点が
提供される。
上面層、即ち使用中は着用者に面するようにした層には所謂超吸収材料が含まれ
る。超吸収材料とは自体の重量の数倍に相当する液を吸収できると共に膨張して
ゲルを形成する親水性重合体のことである。超吸収材料または超吸収剤は種々異
なる形で、例えば微粒、顆粒、薄片、膜体および繊維の形で既に公知である。本
発明に関してこの超吸収材に課せられた唯一の必要条件は超吸収材が親水性吸収
繊維と好ましくは繊維素毛羽の形で可なり均一に混合できることである。
上面吸収層の主目的は分泌体液が既に外側へ向って展延している底面層まで分泌
体液を急速に下方へ通すことにある。底面層はさらに底面吸収層から、物品に加
えられた外力によって、分泌体液が押し戻されることによって起る再湿潤に対し
障壁を提供する。しかのみならず、体液は底面層の平面において展延させない。
以前には普通のことであったのとは違って、こうしたことが、使用中に着用者に
面するようにした物品側に最も近く超吸収体含有層を配置することによって本発
明でみごとに達成されている。この超吸収材は吸収された液体をゲル状に化学的
に固めるように作用する。これによって液は上面の吸収層における湿潤点を中心
に展延するのが効果的に防止される。超吸収材は液を比較的にゆっくりと吸収す
るので、相当量の体液が上面層に吸収されないうちに物品面から液は移動し去る
ことができ、この液の移送はこれら二つの吸収層間に重力的に且つ毛管現象の差
によっておこなわれる。
底面吸収層、即ち使用中着用者から去る方へ向くようにした層が物品における液
展延屡としての役目を果すように圧縮される。
この圧縮によって底面層の繊維は密実に固まる結果になるので、隣接する繊維間
の空隙は上面層の繊維間の空隙より小さくなる。隣接繊維間の空隙が毛細管大と
なり、液は常に粗い毛細管から細い毛細管へと移送されるので、吸収された体液
は上面層から底面層へと活発に移送される。こ−の点において、特に大切なこと
はこれら二つの吸収層が互に直接に連結しているので液体の大部分は物品の深さ
乃至厚さ範囲内に移送されることである。
底面吸収層の別の目的は最初に濡れた部域から遠い方の吸収材料の吸収性でも効
果的に利用できるように体液を展延することにある。湿潤点を中心に所在する液
は底面層における材料の圧縮度が小さいために、上面層よりも底面層においてよ
り広い範囲に展延する。しかしながら、底面層と本質的には同じ程度まで均等に
圧縮される場合には、液体は湿潤点を中心にあらゆる方向に等しく展延する。こ
の場合、液体は物品の各側縁に速かに到達して、その結果漏れをおこす。従って
、液体が展延する場合のパターンを変えて液がその横方向よりも縦方向に多く展
延するように圧縮パターンを底面層に与えるのが適切である。このようなパター
ンは例えば周囲の吸収材料の毛細管よりも細い毛細管を有する縦方向に延びるス
トリップで達成できる。従って、吸収された体液は周囲材料におけるよりもこの
ストリップに沿ってより迅速に展延する。ストリップはかくして液体を物品の縦
方向に展延させるよう作用すると共に液体が物品を横切って移送されるのを阻止
する障壁の役目をする。しかしながら、物品の各線における漏れを防止するため
、圧縮されたストリップを吸収層の各側縁より僅かに内方で終わるようにするこ
とが適切である。
いくつかの場合に、例えば生理用ナプキンおよびパンティ保護帯の場合には、底
面吸収層の各側縁に沿って圧縮ストリップをただ一つだけまたは数本を設けるだ
けで十分と云える。これで側方の漏れに対して本質的には防護ができるが、一方
では、液体は物品の縦方向により小さい範囲に展延するだけである。このような
漏れに対する障壁は、例えばスエーデン特許明細書番号8804136−3号に
記載された形式の追加的圧縮パターンで補足することができる。
底面吸収層に体液が十分に浸み込むと、底面層からの液は上面層で再び吸収され
この上面の層にある超吸収性材料内に固められる。底面吸収層から外力で上面層
内に押圧されて戻された液体はさらに上面吸収層によって吸収され固められる。
本発明構造の吸収性物品は比較的長時間着用されている場合でも驚くほど乾いた
気持ちのよい表面を提供する。
本発明構造の吸収性物品が提供する今一つの利点はこの物品が非常に薄手に作ら
れるのに吸収性を失うことがなく、従って別個の部分からなり快適な物品を必要
とする人々の使用に特に適している。しかし、薄い吸収性物品に伴う一つの問題
は使用中にしわができるとか、あるいは変形して不適当になることが少なくない
ことである。従って、変形を起させる外力に耐えるために物品には比較的剛さか
なければならない。底面の吸収層は5IS650043に従って測定された15
.5cmから17.5cmの間に亘る剛性または硬さを備えていなければならな
いことが判った。底面層が5IS650043による16.5cmの剛性を備え
ている場合、物品は特に良好な特性を出す。この点において、本発明物品の圧縮
された底面の吸収層は物品の望ましくない変形を防止する手段として役立つこと
ができる。この形式の物品では、底面層は上面層より若干幅狭く、希望によって
はまたより短かくするように形成することが便利である。そうすれば物品の縁部
分はもつと軽く圧縮してもつと柔かな上面吸収層で形成されよう。こうすればま
た物品が着用者の皮膚をこすってひりひりさせる危険も避けられる。
