ELASTIC NONWOVEN FABRIC AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THE SAME

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an elastic nonwoven fabric which can, easily form an air flow gap relative to the skin when in contact with skin.SOLUTION: An elastic nonwoven fabric 20 comprises elastic fibers which extend and contract elastically and non-elastic fibers which extend non-elastically. The elastic nonwoven fabric 20 has formed thereon rows of strip regions 26 and rows of ridge regions 27 which are raised upward of an upper surface 26a of the strip regions 26 and which have a reversed V shape. The strip regions 26 and the ridge regions 27 are arranged alternately in a widthwise direction B of the elastic nonwoven fabric 20. The ridge regions 27 are formed so as to more easily extend in the widthwise direction B than the strip regions 26.
