摘要:
According to the present invention, an absorbent member for use in an absorbent core is provided which efficiently acquires and distributes body fluid throughout its entire structure and which maintains open acquisition area for repeated insults of body fluid. The absorbent member comprises an absorbent medium including a low density fibrous material and higher density absorbent strips distributed throughout the absorbent medium. The absorbent strips may be randomly distributed or distributed in a pattern and can be comprised of any paper, tissue or nonwoven or a laminate of paper and superabsorbents. Further, the present invention relates to absorbent articles, such as diapers, sanitary napkins, and adult incontinent pads, comprised of the absorbent members of the present invention.
摘要:
A shaped absorbent structure (18) includes a batt (21) of absorbent material with a front region (30) terminating in a first longitudinal end (31), a back region (32) terminating in a second longitudinal end (33), and a crotch region (35). First and second sides (37,39), which each have a curved shape, extend between the first and second longitudinal ends (31,33). Regions (50) of relatively high compression of the batt (21) extend substantially continuously along each of the first and second sides (37,39), inboard of each of the sides, and track the curved shapes of the respective first and second sides. The absorbent structure (18) can be positioned in an outer shell (12) and an acquisition layer (20) as well as a bodyside liner (22) are positioned above same to make up an absorbent structure (10).
摘要:
The invention relates to a method for manufacturing a laminated structure (22) for use in an absorbent article such as a diaper, a sanitary napkin, a panty liner, an incontinence pad or similar and being defined by a plurality of material layers (6, 7, 8) comprising at least a first layer (6) which is liquid-permeable, a second layer (7) constituting an absorbent core (7) and a third layer (8), each of said layers (6, 7, 8) being formed of a material having a certain pore radius (R1, R2, R3), said method comprising: bonding together said material layers (6, 7, 8) by means of at least two ultrasonic welding steps (4; 12); and providing an ultrasonic welding pattern (15; 17) for each of said welding steps, each of said welding patterns (15; 17) being defined by a plurality of bonding sites (16; 18). The method according to the invention comprises providing said welding steps (4; 11) for forming generally the entire absorbent article; and selecting said welding patterns (15; 17) in a manner so that at least the entire laminated structure (22) has a multiple pore radius.
摘要:
A disposable diaper wherein a central portion of its absorbent core has a higher density and higher basis weight per unit area than longitudinally spaced end portions of the absorbent core. Such absorbent cores may comprise a mixture of hydrophilic fibers and discrete particles of a highly absorbent material such as, for example, hydrogel material.
摘要:
The present invention relates to an item (10) having liquid (L) storage and/or discharge properties, in particular a bandage, comprising: - a liquid-permeable proximal structure (20), consisting of a material capable of inflating in the presence of liquid (L), - a distal structure (30) capable of draining a liquid (L), -a hydrophobic and non-absorbent spacer structure (40) extending between the distal (30) and proximal (20) structures, and being capable of locally limiting, when said material is not inflated, the exchange of liquid between the distal and proximal structures by maintaining a gap between said structures, and of authorising a local expansion of the proximal structure in at least one zone (P) where said material is inflated in response to coming into contact with a liquid, said expansion causing the proximal and distal structure to move together locally and the transfer of said liquid from the zone of the proximal structure (20) having undergone expansion to the distal structure (30).
摘要:
An absorbent core is provided including a substrate that performs at least one fluid handling function. At least a portion of at least one region of the substrate has been modified by aperturing, calendering, coating, creping, heating, printing stretching, or a combination thereof to impart at least one different fluid handling function. The substrate is folded to provide a plurality of panels wherein at least a portion of one panel corresponds to at least a portion of the modified region of the substrate. An absorbent article including the absorbent core and a process for making the absorbent core are also disclosed.
