A functional sheet is described, in which a modifier is uniformly and exactly scattered and deposited such that sites where the modifier is deposited and sites where no modifier is deposited are clearly discriminated. The functional sheet is obtained by masking a surface of a sheet containing at least one fibrous layer on the surface by a planar object having a plurality of openings, applying a solution of a modifier from a side of the planar object, and allowing the modifier to deposit onto a whole surface of the sheet exposed to the openings of the planar object, and a functional sheet in which sites where the modifier is deposited form projections and sites where no modifier is deposited form plains in a surface fibrous layer of the functional sheet.

Disposable Absorbent Articles with an Embossed Topsheet

Номер: US20120238984A1
Автор: Sohini Paldey
Принадлежит: Procter and Gamble Co

The present disclosure relates to absorbent articles with embossed topsheets. Such absorbent articles may be fabricated with a continuous topsheet web having a first surface and an opposing second surface advanced in a machine direction. A liquid acquisition layer and an absorbent core are combined with the continuous topsheet web. And the combined continuous topsheet web, liquid acquisition layer, and absorbent core advance through the embossing nip to emboss a pattern in the continuous topsheet web. As the combined continuous topsheet web, liquid acquisition layer, and absorbent core advance through the embossing nip, the rotating patterned embossing roll contacts the continuous topsheet web. And the rotating anvil roll contacts the absorbent core. By advancing the topsheet together with the acquisition layer and absorbent core through the embossing nip, a relatively deeper pattern can be embossed into the topsheet than otherwise might be possible when embossing relatively thin topsheet web materials.

A feminine care absorbent article that contains multiple printed patterns of graphical objects visible from a body facing surface is provided. The layout and design of the patterns are carefully selected in the present invention to achieve a synergistic masking effect that helps visually disguise the presence of bodily fluids or stains around the periphery of the article. Such “passive” stain masking is achieved, in part, through the use of printed patterns that are distributed in an asymmetric manner about both the longitudinal and transverse centerlines of the article. The printed patterns are also located at or near the periphery of the article and at least partially extend into portions of the body facing surface that overlie the absorbent core. The pattern design is also such that a majority of an interior zone of the absorbent article is generally free of printed graphical objects. 1.

A three-dimensional nonwoven fabric with a pore structure includes raised regions, recessed regions, and the pore structure. Fiber densities from the raised regions to the recessed regions are gradient. That is, the fiber density of the edges transiting from the raised regions to the recessed regions is higher than that of the tops of the raised regions. Pressure resistance performance of the high-density fiber regions keeps the three-dimensional nonwoven fabric significantly uneven, and quickens liquid permeation and reduces residues, and the three-dimensional nonwoven fabric has a high permeating speed and is dry and comfortable.

An absorbent article () capable of inhibiting leakage of a fluid insult generally extends in a plane defined by a longitudinal direction and a transverse direction. The absorbent article () contains fluid-shrinkable members (), a topsheet (), and a base pad () that includes a baffle () and an absorbent core () positioned between the topsheet () and the baffle (). The topsheet () extends in the longitudinal direction to define a distal end () and an opposing proximal end (). At least a portion of the proximal end () remains generally unbonded to the baffle (). The fluid-shrinkable members () extend in the longitudinal direction of the absorbent article () so that at least a portion of the fluid-shrinkable members () are located adjacent to the proximal end () of the topsheet (). Thus, when the fluid-shrinkable members () contract upon contacting a fluid insult, the proximal end () of the topsheet () can raise outwardly from the plane of the absorbent article (). The raised area creates a barrier to the leakage of fluids from the center of the absorbent article () towards its end. Contraction of the fluid-shrinkable members can also cause an outer region of the topsheet () to raise outwardly from the plane of the absorbent article () to create a barrier to the leakage of fluid from the center of the absorbent article () towards the side edge. Because such barriers are generally created only after contact with a fluid insult, their effectiveness is not diminished through use of the article prior to the insult. 1.
