Publication number: 20230060828Abstract: An individually wrapped absorbent article that includes an absorbent article, and a wrapping sheet configured to wrap the absorbent article is provided. The wrapping sheet is folded toward an inner surface of the wrapping sheet so as to cause a first region including one end in a first direction of the wrapping sheet and a second region including an opposite end in the first direction to overlap with each other, and a seal portion is formed at each edge portion in a second direction of the wrapping sheet. The second direction is perpendicular to the first direction. The seal portion includes a plurality of compressed recesses and compressed projections along the first direction. The compressed projections are formed between the compressed recesses.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 22, 2021Publication date: March 2, 2023Inventor: Megumi YOSHIBA

Publication number: 20230036459Abstract: A wrapping sheet for wrapping an absorbent article is provided. The wrapping sheet includes a first region and a second region. The first region includes one end in a first direction of the wrapping sheet and the second region includes an opposite end in the first direction. The wrapping sheet is configured to wrap the absorbent article by causing the first region to overlap with the outer surface of the second region, and a sealing tape is attached so as to extend from a first portion on the outer surface of the first region to a second portion on the outer surface of the second region. The outer surface of the second portion is subjected to treatment so as to reduce a bonding force between the second portion and the sealing tape as compared to a bonding force between the first portion and the sealing tape.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 9, 2021Publication date: February 2, 2023Inventor: Megumi YOSHIBA

Publication number: 20220040010Abstract: Problem To suppress skin touch feeling from being deteriorated and further provide excellent wearing feeling, while ensuring sufficient adhesive strength in an adhesion part of a side sheet. Solution In the present invention, a pair of left and right side sheets 7 are provided over the entire length of both side parts on a skin-contact surface. A sanitary napkin 1 includes overlapped regions T where a front-surface sheet 3 and the side sheets 7 are overlapped with each other, on the both side parts of the sanitary napkin 1 along the longitudinal direction. In each of the overlapped regions T, a side-sheet embossed part 10 is formed on the side sheet 7, and an inter-sheet embossed part 9 is formed to make the side sheet 7 and the front-surface sheet 3 adhere to each other. The total area of the side sheet embossed part 10 is formed smaller than the total area of the inter-sheet embossed part 9.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 18, 2019Publication date: February 10, 2022Applicant: DAIO PAPER CORPORATIONInventor: Megumi YOSHIBA

Publication number: 20210282982Abstract: An absorbent article comprising a top-surface sheet 3, a back-surface sheet 2, and absorber 4 interposed between, and a pair of left and right side sheets 7 over an entire length on both side portions of a skin-contact surface side. An inner side in a width direction of each of the side sheets 7 is folded back in the width direction to be laminated in a plurality of layers. A laminated portion 8 of the side sheets 7 includes lower layer side embossed portions 9 for joining the bottom layers of the side sheets 7 and a top-surface sheet 3, and skin-side embossed portions 10 obtained by integrally denting the side sheets 7 of the laminated portion 8 from the skin-contact surface side. The lower-layer-side embossed portions 9 and the skin-side embossed portions 10 are formed in different plane patterns. The absorbent article suppresses deterioration of touch to the skin and obtains good wearing feeling while ensuring sufficient joining strength in a joining portion of side sheets.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 29, 2019Publication date: September 16, 2021Applicant: DAIO PAPER CORPORATIONInventor: Megumi YOSHIBA

Publication number: 20210007909Abstract: An absorbent article comprising a top-surface sheet, a second sheet, and an absorber interposed between the top-surface sheet and the second sheet. The absorbent article allows a body fluid absorbed by the top-surface sheet to move to a non-skin side without deteriorating a soft touch feeling of cotton. The top-surface sheet 3 has a multi-layer structure including a non-heat fusible layer 10 made of a cellulose fiber and arranged on a skin side and a heat-fusible layer 11 made of a heat-fusible fiber and arranged on the non-skin side. The second sheet 6 made of a heat-fusible fiber is arranged on the non-skin side of the top-surface sheet 3. A large number of compressed parts 15 are formed on the non-skin side of the second sheet 6 by integrally recessing the second sheet 6 and the top-surface sheet 3 toward the skin side.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 18, 2019Publication date: January 14, 2021Applicant: DAIO PAPER CORPORATIONInventor: Megumi YOSHIBA

Patent number: 10376425Abstract: On a wearer's body contact surface of a sanitary napkin, an emboss is provided in such a pattern that a plurality of straight portions and arc-shaped portions which protrude outwardly in the direction of the width of the napkin, with the ends of the straight portions being base points, are alternately arranged. A plurality of arc-shaped portions are arranged, and thus the resistance to a leg pressure from the outside in the width direction is increased, with the result that the absorber is unlikely to be wrinkled and leakage caused by the wrinkle is unlikely to occur. The flow of a body fluid diffused from the center in the width direction toward the outside in the longitudinal direction of the napkin along the straight portion is produced, and thus the diffusion in the width direction is reduced, with the result that side leakage is unlikely to occur.Type: GrantFiled: December 27, 2013Date of Patent: August 13, 2019Assignee: Daio Paper CorporationInventor: Megumi Yoshiba

Patent number: 9114044Abstract: An absorbent article such as a sanitary napkin has a respective wing-shaped flap extending outward from each side of the main body of the absorbent article. Each wing-shaped flap has a front profile line and a rear profile line. The front profile line is a wave-shape formed by a repetition of convex portions and concave portions. The angle between a line connecting the vertex of the outermost concave portion of the wing-shaped flap with the origin point of the front profile line of the wing-shaped flap and another line originating at the origin point of the front profile line of the wing-shaped flap is 60-65°.Type: GrantFiled: September 28, 2012Date of Patent: August 25, 2015Assignee: DAIO PAPER CORPORATIONInventor: Megumi Yoshiba
