  • Patent number: 8551608
    Abstract: It is intended to provide a composite sheet which is excellent in comfort to the skin face when used in an absorbent article such as a disposable diaper. A composite sheet (1) fabricated by bonding stretchable nonwoven fabric (2) to a non-stretchable sheet (3) using an adhesive (4). The stretchable nonwoven fabric (2) is bonded in the stretched state to the non-stretchable sheet. The composite sheet (1) has a contact area ratio of 65% or more and an air permeation resistance of 0.20 KPa·s/m or less. By satisfying these numerical requirements, the composite sheet shows excellent sweat absorption properties and air permeability when used as a constituting member of an absorbent article such as a disposable diaper.

  • Patent number: 6540729
    Abstract: A men's disposable urine holding bag that includes a base sheet which is intermittently bonded to define a bond zone along transversely opposite side edges thereof which edges are placed flat together so as to define an opening for receiving a penis. A body fluid absorbent panel is attached to an inner side of the base sheet. The bond zone has a water pressure resistance of about 50 to 1500 mm.

  • Patent number: 4730115
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a transformer system and a direct current power supply for obtaining a dc current including a luminous body disposed on the primary side for converting a electric power into a light and a solar cell unit disposed on the secondary side, opposing the luminous body, for receiving light emitted from the luminous body and for converting the light into electric power, thereby constituting a transformer which is further provided with an input control circuit and an output control circuit so as to configure a dc power supply. According to this apparatus, a stable dc current can be obtained without generating the magnetic field and noise problems of typical wound core transformers.
