  • Patent number: 7767878
    Abstract: A disposable absorbent article includes an absorbent mat between a liquid-permeable top sheet and a liquid-impermeable back sheet. The absorbent mat includes a sheet-shaped water-absorbent layer that contains a water-absorbent resin powder but that does not contain pulp fibers; and a fiber assembly layer that contains a water-absorbent resin powder and pulp fibers in this order from a top sheet side. The sheet-shaped water-absorbent layer includes a plurality of water-absorbent resin presence regions in each of which the water-absorbent resin powder is wrapped; and a plurality of water-absorbent resin powder absence regions each being formed between the two adjacent water-absorbent resin powder presence regions.

  • Patent number: 7753899
    Abstract: In a rising gathered member 4 of an absorbent main body 3 attached to an external sheet 2, an inward folded base end 4b is joined astride a side end 13a of a top sheet 13 as a top surface of the absorbent main body 3 and a side end 14a of a back sheet 14 so that the rising gathered member 4 rises from a most side edge 3a in a width direction of the absorbent main body 3 and, also, the back sheet 14 of the absorbent main body 3 is attached onto a skin-contacting surface side of a crotch part R of a second external sheet 8 at an inward position at a prescribed width W5 from the most side edge 3a of the absorbent main body 3 as an outermost joint position. With the above constitution, it is possible to effectively prevent any lateral leakage of urine and the like, even if a disposable absorbent article is shifted.

  • Patent number: 7663016
    Abstract: A disposable absorbent article 10 that includes an absorbent mat 13 between a liquid permeable top sheet 11 and a liquid impermeable back sheet 12, the absorbent mat 13 including a sheet-like water absorbent layer 15 that contains water absorbent resin powders 14 but that does not contain pulp fibers therein, and fiber assembly layers 17A and 17B each of which mainly consists of the pulp fibers 16, sequentially from the side of the top sheet 11, the sheet-like water absorbent layer 15 alternately including a plurality of water absorbent resin powder existing regions 15a, in each of which the water absorbent resin powders 14 are wrapped in two non-woven fabric sheets 20 and 21, and a plurality of water absorbent resin powder non-existing regions 15b, in each of which the water absorbent resin powders 14 are not wrapped in the two non-woven fabric sheets 20 and 21, in a width direction, wherein rising flaps 18 are provided on both sides of the sheet-like water absorbent layer 15, respectively.

  • Patent number: 7338479
    Abstract: A bondable innermost edge e? of a hot melt adhesive to be applied to a base end 4a of each of a pair of raisable flaps 4 is disposed outside away from an inner edge 4d of the base end 4a in a state that each raisable flap 4 is folded into a multi-layered manner in bonding the base ends 4a of the raisable flaps 4 to an outer sheet at the opposite sides of an absorbent member 3 with the hot melt adhesive. This arrangement eliminates the likelihood that a free end 4b of each raisable flap 4 may be adhered to the base end 4a by an excessively and extensively applied adhesive portion even if the adhesive is excessively and extensively applied.
