ABSORBENT ARTICLE WITH SURFACE STRUCTURAL BODY OF CONTINUOUS FILAMENTS

摘要

DISCLOSED IS AN ABSORBENT ARTICLE INCLUDING: A LIQUID PERMEABLE SURFACE STRUCTURAL BODY (10); A BACKING SHEET (7); AN ABSORBENT CORE (8) DISPOSED BETWEEN THE SURFACE STRUCTURAL BODY (10) AND THE BACKING SHEET (7). THE SURFACE STRUCTURAL BODY (10) IS FORMED BY STACKING BUNDLES OF CONTINUOUS FILAMENTS (11A, 11B, 11C) INTO AT LEAST TWO LAYERS AND PARTIALLY FIXING THE CONTINUOUS FILAMENTS OF THE RESPECTIVE LAYERS TOGETHER. THE INDIVIDUAL CONTINUOUS FILAMENTS EXTEND OVER THE ENTIRE LENGTH OF THE RESPECTIVE LAYERS. THE LAYERS INCLUDE: A LOWER LAYER (10C) POSITIONED ADJACENT TO THE ABSORBENT LAYER (8); AND AN UPPER LAYER (10A) POSITIONED AWAY FROM THE ABSORBENT LAYER AND HAVING A SMALLER WIDTH THAN THAT OF THE LOWER LAYER (10C). THE UPPER LAYER (10A) IS LOCATED EXCLUSIVELY AT A CENTER PORTION OR LATERALLY OPPOSITE SIDE PORTIONS OF THE LOWER LAYER (10C).(FIG 2)
