Publication number: 20170333265Abstract: An absorbent article is provided, which effectively utilizes the entire absorber by quickly diffusing a body fluid, and reduces discomfort in a wearer by suppressing unpleasant dampness and twisting after absorption of the body fluid. An absorbent article of the present invention includes a liquid permeable top surface sheet, a liquid impermeable back surface sheet, and an absorber disposed between the top surface sheet and the back surface sheet. A top surface sheet side of the absorbent article is provided with extending a plurality of compressed lines in each of which a plurality of recess portions formed by compressing the top surface sheet and the absorber are arranged. The plurality of compressed lines form intersection regions where the compressed lines intersect with each other. The compressed recess portions are not formed in the intersection regions.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 9, 2015Publication date: November 23, 2017Inventors: Hiroyuki Hanao, Harue Shimizu, Hikari Makihara, Akira Sonoda, Katsuhiko Sugiyama, Ryosuke Ozaki

Publication number: 20170296401Abstract: An absorbent article according to the present invention having a liquid-permeable top sheet, a liquid-impermeable back sheet, and an absorber disposed between the top sheet and the back sheet includes a first recessed portion configured in a top surface of the absorber facing the top sheet and extending along a first direction and a second recessed portion configured in the top surface of the absorber facing the top sheet so as to intersect the first recessed portion, the second recessed portion extending along a second direction different from the first direction. The first recessed portion and the second recessed portion each have a first area having a shallow depth from the top surface of the absorber to a bottom surface of the first area and a second area having a deeper depth than the first area.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 25, 2015Publication date: October 19, 2017Inventors: Katsuhiko Sugiyama, Izumi Tashiro, Hiroyuki Hanao, Yoshihiro Takiyama, Toshihiro Noda, Harue Shimizu

Publication number: 20070276349Abstract: Disclosed is an absorbent assembly including a main absorbent part (21) composed of a highly absorbent polymer and absorbent fibers, a crepe paper sheet (22) wrapped around the main absorbent part, and a second sheet (25) arranged on a portion of the crepe paper sheet (22) wrapped around one of the major surfaces of the main absorbent part (21). The major surfaces of the main absorbent part (21) are hot-melt bonded to the crepe paper sheet (22). The weight ratio of the highly absorbent polymer to the total weight of the highly absorbent polymer and absorbent fibers of the main absorbent part (21) is set to 40 wt % or higher. The absorbent assembly is pressurized to reduce its thickness. The second sheet (25) contains polyethylene terephthalate, exhibiting high cushioning performance, as its component material. The liquid is diffused and the area over which the liquid is intruded into the main absorbent part is enlarged to prevent the absorptive power of the absorbent assembly from being lowered.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 28, 2005Publication date: November 29, 2007Inventors: Isao Mori, Akinori Fukae, Hiroyuki Hanao, Kazunori Ito
