  • Patent number: 6129717
    Abstract: An absorbent article including an inner sheet and first and second outer sheets. The first outer sheet is of a fine interstice while the second outer sheet is fluid permeable. Through crepe processing, a great number of recesses are formed on an absorbent crepe sheet having wrinkles as the inner sheet. Highly absorbent polymers are charged in the recesses. Then, the first outer sheet adheres to the face on the opening side of the recesses of the inner sheet, while the second outer sheet adheres to the face of the opposite side of the inner sheet. The second outer sheet is positioned toward the side of fluid absorption. When a fluid is applied on the absorbent article, the fluid passes through the second outer sheet onto the inner sheet and the highly absorbent polymers. Because the crepe wrinkles are elongated and extended when the inner sheet absorbs fluid, the recesses are enlarged.

  • Patent number: 5994614
    Abstract: After overlaying an inner sheet of a coarse and bulky non-woven fabric on an outer sheet, super absorbent polymers (SAP) are dispersed on the inner sheet. Folding inwardly both the sides of the laminated body composed of the outer sheet and the inner sheet so as to face the inner sheet together to overlay both the ends together, the SAP are wrapped by means of the outer sheet and the inner sheet from the top and bottom thereof. Then, applying heat over the outer sheet, the outer sheet and the inner sheet are melted and bonded together while the inner sheet is melted and bonded together. Then, the bonding parts are formed in a given shape and SAP can be retained between the fibers of the inner sheet in a given area of the encircled region preliminarily encircled by the bonding parts.
