発明の詳細な説明Detailed Description of the Invention
 特許文献1の伸縮性シート及び特許文献2の伸縮性複合シートは、シートとしての柔軟性及び肌の滑りやすさを向上させる点で改善の余地があった。 The elastic sheet of Patent Document 1 and the elastic composite sheet of Patent Document 2 have room for improvement in terms of improving the flexibility as a sheet and the slipperiness of the skin.
 本発明は、前述した従来技術が有する欠点を解消し得る伸縮性複合シート及びその効率的な製造方法に関する。 The present invention relates to a stretchable composite sheet that can solve the above-mentioned drawbacks of the conventional technology and an efficient manufacturing method thereof.
 以下本発明をその好ましい実施形態に基づき図面を参照しながら説明する。図1及び図2には、本発明の伸縮性複合シートの一実施形態である伸縮性複合シート1が示されている。図1、図3及び図4には、伸縮性複合シート1が、弾性フィラメント21が延びる方向である一方向Xに収縮して凸条部31が形成されている状態が示されており、図2には、伸縮性複合シート1が、前記一方向Xに伸長された状態が示されている。図2に示す伸長状態においては、凸条部31を形成していたシート材20が、ほぼ平坦となっている。 Hereinafter, the present invention will be described based on its preferred embodiments with reference to the drawings. 1 and 2 show a stretchable composite sheet 1 which is an embodiment of the stretchable composite sheet of the present invention. 1, 3 and 4 show a state in which the stretchable composite sheet 1 is contracted in one direction X, which is the direction in which the elastic filament 21 extends, and the ridge portion 31 is formed. 2 shows a state in which the stretchable composite sheet 1 is stretched in the one direction X. In the extended state shown in FIG. 2, the sheet material 20 on which the ridge portions 31 are formed is substantially flat.
 伸縮性複合シート1は、図1~図4に示すように、互いに交差せずに一方向Xに延びるように配列した複数の弾性フィラメント21が、実質的に非伸長状態で、それらの全長にわたり、繊維材料を含み伸長可能なシート材20,20に接合されており、前記一方向Xに伸縮可能な伸縮性シート2と、伸縮性シート2の片面側に部分的に接合されている非伸縮性シート3とを有している。 As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, the stretchable composite sheet 1 has a plurality of elastic filaments 21 arranged so as to extend in one direction X without intersecting each other in a substantially non-stretched state over the entire length thereof. The stretchable sheet 2 that is stretchable in the one direction X and is joined to the stretchable sheet materials 20, 20 that include a fiber material, and the non-stretchable sheet that is partially joined to one side of the stretchable sheet 2. The property sheet 3 is included.
 伸縮性複合シート1を構成する伸縮性シート2は、図4に示すように、2枚のシート材20,20に複数の弾性フィラメント21が接合された構成を有しており、それら複数の弾性フィラメント21は、図2に示すように、互いに交差せずに一方向Xに延び、且つ該一方向Xと直交する方向Yに間隔をあけて配置されている。複数の弾性フィラメント21は、それぞれ、伸縮性シート2の一方向Xの全長にわたって、実質的に非伸長状態で、2枚のシート材20,20に接合されている。 As shown in FIG. 4, the elastic sheet 2 that constitutes the elastic composite sheet 1 has a structure in which a plurality of elastic filaments 21 are joined to two sheet materials 20 and 20, and the plurality of elastic materials is used. As shown in FIG. 2, the filaments 21 extend in one direction X without intersecting each other, and are arranged at intervals in a direction Y orthogonal to the one direction X. Each of the plurality of elastic filaments 21 is joined to the two sheet materials 20, 20 in a substantially non-stretched state over the entire length of the stretchable sheet 2 in the one direction X.
 伸縮性シート2を構成する2枚のシート材20,20は、何れも伸長可能である。2枚のシート材20,20は、実質的に非弾性の繊維を含んでなるものであり、実質的に非弾性である。弾性フィラメントの「弾性」及びシート材20の非弾性の「弾性」とは、伸ばすことができ、且つ元の長さに対して100%伸ばした状態(元の長さの200%の長さになる)から力を解放したときに、元の長さの125%以下の長さまで戻る性質である。
 シート材20,20は、弾性フィラメント21の延びる方向Xと同方向に伸長可能となっている。本明細書において、「伸長可能」とは、(イ)シート材20,20の構成繊維自体が伸長する場合と、(ロ)構成繊維自体は伸長しなくても、交点において結合していた繊維どうしが離れたり、繊維どうしの結合等により複数本の繊維で形成された立体構造が構造的に変化したり、構成繊維がちぎれたり、繊維のたるみが引き伸ばされたりして、不織布全体として伸長する場合とを包含する。
 各シート材20,20は、弾性フィラメント21と接合される前の原反の状態で既に伸長可能になっていてもよい。或いは、弾性フィラメント21と接合される前の原反の状態では伸長可能ではないが、弾性フィラメント21と接合された後に伸長可能となるように加工が施されて、伸長可能になるものであってもよい。シート材を伸長可能にするための具体的な方法としては、熱処理、ロール間延伸、歯溝やギアによるかみ込み延伸、テンターによる引張延伸などが挙げられる。後述する伸縮性複合シートの好適な製造方法に鑑みると、弾性フィラメント21を、シート材20に溶着させるときの該シート材20の搬送性が良好になる等の点から、該シート材20はその原反の状態では伸長可能でないことが好ましい。
Each of the two sheet materials 20 and 20 that form the stretchable sheet 2 is extensible. The two sheet materials 20 and 20 include substantially inelastic fibers, and are substantially inelastic. The "elasticity" of the elastic filaments and the inelastic "elasticity" of the sheet material 20 mean that the elastic filament can be stretched and is stretched by 100% with respect to the original length (to a length of 200% of the original length. When the force is released from the above, it has a property of returning to a length of 125% or less of the original length.
The sheet materials 20 and 20 can extend in the same direction as the extending direction X of the elastic filament 21. In the present specification, “extendable” means that (a) the constituent fibers themselves of the sheet materials 20 and 20 are stretched and (b) the constituent fibers themselves are not stretched but are bonded at the intersections. The nonwoven fabric as a whole expands due to separation between the fibers, structural change of the three-dimensional structure formed by multiple fibers due to bonding of fibers, breaking of constituent fibers, stretching of slack of fibers, etc. Including cases and.
Each of the sheet materials 20 and 20 may be already stretchable in the original state before being joined to the elastic filament 21. Alternatively, it is not extensible in the original state before being joined with the elastic filament 21, but is processed so as to be extensible after being joined with the elastic filament 21 so that it can be extended. Good. Specific methods for making the sheet material extensible include heat treatment, inter-roll stretching, bite stretching with tooth spaces and gears, and tensile stretching with a tenter. In view of a preferable method for producing a stretchable composite sheet described below, the sheet material 20 is made to have a good transportability when the elastic filament 21 is welded to the sheet material 20. It is preferable that the material is not stretchable in the original state.
 伸縮性シート2を構成する複数の弾性フィラメント21は、図2に示すように、それぞれ、伸縮性シート2及び伸縮性複合シート1の全長にわたって実質的に連続している。各弾性フィラメント21は弾性樹脂を含んでいる。複数の弾性フィラメント21が互いに交差せずに一方向Xに延びるように配列していることによって、伸縮性シート2及びその伸縮性シート2を用いた伸縮性複合シート1は、弾性フィラメント21が延びる方向に伸長させたときに、該方向に直交する幅が縮む幅縮みが生じにくい利点がある。各弾性フィラメント21は、互いに交差しない限り、直線状に延びていてもよく、或いは蛇行しながら延びていてもよい。 The plurality of elastic filaments 21 constituting the stretchable sheet 2 are substantially continuous over the entire lengths of the stretchable sheet 2 and the stretchable composite sheet 1, respectively, as shown in FIG. Each elastic filament 21 contains an elastic resin. By arranging the plurality of elastic filaments 21 so as to extend in the one direction X without intersecting with each other, the elastic filaments 21 of the elastic sheet 2 and the elastic composite sheet 1 using the elastic sheet 2 are extended. When it is extended in the direction, there is an advantage that the width shrinkage in which the width orthogonal to the direction is reduced hardly occurs. The elastic filaments 21 may extend linearly or may extend in a meandering manner as long as they do not intersect with each other.
 各弾性フィラメント21は、実質的に非伸長状態でシート材20,20に接合されている。弾性フィラメント21は、糸状の合成ゴムや天然ゴムであり得る。或いは乾式紡糸(溶融紡糸)や、湿式紡糸によって得られたものであり得る。弾性フィラメント21は、これを一旦巻き取ることなしに直接溶融紡糸によって得られたものであることが好ましい。また、弾性フィラメント21は、未延伸糸を延伸して得られたものであることが好ましい。また弾性フィラメント21は、弾性樹脂が溶融又は軟化した状態で延伸されて形成されたものであることが好ましい。弾性樹脂が溶融又は軟化した状態で延伸されることで、弾性フィラメント21を、非伸長状態でシート材20に接合させることが容易となる。
 延伸の具体的な操作としては、(a)弾性フィラメント21の原料となる樹脂を溶融紡糸して一旦未延伸糸を得、その未延伸糸の弾性フィラメントを再度加熱して軟化温度(ハードセグメントのガラス転移点温度Tg)以上の状態で延伸する操作や、(b)弾性フィラメント21の原料となる樹脂を溶融紡糸して得られた溶融状態の繊維を直接延伸する操作が挙げられる。後述する伸縮性複合シートの好適な製造方法においては、弾性フィラメント21は、溶融紡糸して得られた溶融状態の繊維を直接延伸することにより得られる。
Each elastic filament 21 is joined to the sheet members 20, 20 in a substantially non-stretched state. The elastic filaments 21 may be thread-shaped synthetic rubber or natural rubber. Alternatively, it may be obtained by dry spinning (melt spinning) or wet spinning. The elastic filaments 21 are preferably obtained by direct melt spinning without winding the filament once. The elastic filament 21 is preferably obtained by drawing an undrawn yarn. The elastic filament 21 is preferably formed by stretching the elastic resin in a molten or softened state. By stretching the elastic resin in a molten or softened state, it becomes easy to bond the elastic filament 21 to the sheet material 20 in a non-stretched state.
As a specific operation of drawing, (a) a resin as a raw material of the elastic filament 21 is melt-spun to obtain an undrawn yarn once, and the elastic filament of the undrawn yarn is heated again to soften (hard segment Examples include an operation of drawing in a state of a glass transition point temperature Tg) or higher, and an operation of directly drawing (b) a molten fiber obtained by melt spinning a resin that is a raw material of the elastic filament 21. In a preferred method for producing a stretchable composite sheet described below, the elastic filaments 21 are obtained by directly drawing the molten fibers obtained by melt spinning.
 各弾性フィラメント21は、その全長にわたってシート材20,20に接合されている。「その全長にわたって接合されている」とは、弾性フィラメント21と接触しているすべての繊維(シート材20の構成繊維)が、該弾性フィラメント21と接合されていることを要せず、弾性フィラメント21に、意図的に形成された非接合部が存在しないような態様で、弾性フィラメント21とシート材20の構成繊維とが接合されていることをいう。弾性フィラメント21とシート材20,20との接合の様式としては、例えば溶着、接着剤による接着などが挙げられる。溶融紡糸により得られた弾性フィラメント21の固化前に、該弾性フィラメント21をシート材20に溶着させることも好ましい。この場合、シート材20と弾性フィラメント21とを接合させる前に、補助的な接合手段として接着剤を塗布することができる。或いは、各シート材20と弾性フィラメント21とを接合させた後に、補助的な接合手段として、熱処理(スチームジェット、ヒートエンボス)や、機械交絡(ニードルパンチ、スパンレース)などを行うこともできる。シート材20と弾性フィラメント21との接合は、溶融又は軟化した状態の弾性フィラメント21が、シート材20と接触した状態で固化することのみによって達成されていることが、シートの柔軟性の向上の点から好ましい。 Each elastic filament 21 is joined to the sheet materials 20 and 20 over its entire length. The phrase “joined over the entire length thereof” does not require that all the fibers (the constituent fibers of the sheet material 20) that are in contact with the elastic filament 21 are joined to the elastic filament 21, and the elastic filament 21 is It means that the elastic filaments 21 and the constituent fibers of the sheet material 20 are joined in such a manner that the intentionally formed non-joined portion does not exist in the sheet 21. Examples of the manner of joining the elastic filament 21 and the sheet materials 20, 20 include welding and adhesion with an adhesive. It is also preferable to weld the elastic filament 21 to the sheet material 20 before solidifying the elastic filament 21 obtained by melt spinning. In this case, an adhesive can be applied as an auxiliary joining means before joining the sheet material 20 and the elastic filament 21. Alternatively, after joining the sheet materials 20 and the elastic filaments 21, heat treatment (steam jet, heat embossing), mechanical entanglement (needle punching, spun lace), or the like can be performed as auxiliary joining means. The joining of the sheet material 20 and the elastic filament 21 is achieved only by solidifying the elastic filament 21 in a molten or softened state in contact with the sheet material 20, which improves the flexibility of the sheet. It is preferable from the point.
 伸縮性シート2は、弾性フィラメント21の延びる方向Xと同方向に伸縮可能になっている。伸縮性シート2の伸縮性は、弾性フィラメント21の弾性に起因して発現する。伸縮性シート2を、弾性フィラメント21の延びる方向と同方向に引き伸ばすと、弾性フィラメント21並びにシート材20,20が伸長する。そして伸縮性シート2の引き伸ばしを解除すると、弾性フィラメント21が収縮し、その収縮に連れてシート材20が引き伸ばし前の状態に復帰する。 The elastic sheet 2 can be expanded and contracted in the same direction X as the elastic filament 21 extends. The elasticity of the elastic sheet 2 is developed due to the elasticity of the elastic filament 21. When the stretchable sheet 2 is stretched in the same direction as the extending direction of the elastic filament 21, the elastic filament 21 and the sheet materials 20 and 20 are stretched. Then, when the stretching of the stretchable sheet 2 is released, the elastic filament 21 contracts, and the sheet material 20 returns to the state before stretching with the contraction.
 伸縮性シート2としては、非伸縮性のシート材20,20に非伸長状態の弾性フィラメント21を接合して非伸長性の複合材2Aを作製した後、この複合材2Aを原反シートとして、図7に示すように、凸条部と溝とを交互に有し互いに噛合う一対の凹凸面間、具体的には、歯溝を有する一対のロール26,27間に通過させることによって伸縮性を発現させたものを使用することが好ましい。 As the stretchable sheet 2, after the non-stretchable composite material 2A is manufactured by joining the non-stretchable sheet materials 20 and 20 with the elastic filaments 21 in the non-stretched state, the composite material 2A is used as a raw sheet. As shown in FIG. 7, elasticity is obtained by passing between a pair of concavo-convex surfaces that alternately have ridges and grooves and mesh with each other, specifically, between a pair of rolls 26 and 27 having tooth grooves. It is preferable to use a product that expresses.
 図5には、伸縮性複合シート1に用いる伸縮性シート2の好ましい例として、図7に示すように、非伸長性の複合材2Aを、一対の歯溝ロール26,27間に通して製造した伸縮性シート2における、弾性フィラメント21が延びる方向Xに沿う断面図が示されている。図5に示す形態の伸縮性シートは、非伸長性の複合材2Aから伸縮性シート2を得るための伸縮性発現処理工程に歯溝延伸装置を用いた場合に顕著に発現する形態である。 In FIG. 5, as a preferable example of the stretchable sheet 2 used for the stretchable composite sheet 1, as shown in FIG. 7, a non-stretchable composite material 2A is manufactured by passing it between a pair of tooth gap rolls 26, 27. A cross-sectional view of the stretchable sheet 2 along the direction X in which the elastic filament 21 extends is shown. The stretchable sheet in the form shown in FIG. 5 is a form that is remarkably exhibited when the tooth space stretching device is used in the stretchability developing treatment step for obtaining the stretchable sheet 2 from the non-stretchable composite material 2A.
 図5に示すように、伸長状態の伸縮性シート2においては、弾性フィラメント21が延びる方向Xに沿って、高坪量部22と低坪量部23とが交互に配列している。高坪量部22及び低坪量部23は、弾性フィラメント21の延びる方向Xと直交する方向Yにそれぞれ帯状に延びている。高坪量部22と低坪量部23とは、一定の周期で交互に配列していることが好ましい。高坪量部22は、低坪量部23に比較して坪量が大きく且つ厚みも大きくなっている。低坪量部23は、高坪量部22に比較して坪量が小さく且つ厚みも小さくなっている。各高坪量部22は、互いに実質的に等幅であることが好ましく、各低坪量部23も、互いに実質的に等幅であることが好ましい。各高坪量部22が、実質的に等幅であるとは、複数の高坪量部22のうち、幅が最大であるものと幅が最小であるものとの幅の差が10%以内であることを意味する。各低坪量部23が、実質的に等幅であるとは、複数の低坪量部23のうち、幅が最大であるものと幅が最小であるものとの幅の差が10%以内であることを意味する。 As shown in FIG. 5, in the stretchable sheet 2 in the stretched state, the high grammage portions 22 and the low grammage portions 23 are alternately arranged along the direction X in which the elastic filaments 21 extend. The high grammage portion 22 and the low grammage portion 23 each extend in a strip shape in a direction Y orthogonal to a direction X in which the elastic filament 21 extends. It is preferable that the high grammage portions 22 and the low grammage portions 23 are alternately arranged at a constant cycle. The high grammage section 22 has a larger grammage and a larger thickness than the low grammage section 23. The low grammage portion 23 has a smaller grammage and a smaller thickness than the high grammage portion 22. It is preferable that the high grammage portions 22 are substantially equal in width to each other, and the low grammage portions 23 are also preferably equal in width to each other. That each high basis weight portion 22 has substantially the same width means that the difference in width between the one having the largest width and the one having the smallest width is within 10% among the plurality of high basis weight portions 22. Means that. That each low basis weight portion 23 has substantially the same width means that the difference in width between the one having the largest width and the one having the smallest width is within 10% among the plurality of low basis weight portions 23. Means that.

[Method of measuring basis weight of high basis weight part and low basis weight part]
<First measuring method>
When the high grammage portion and the low grammage portion each have a sufficient plan view area to be cut out, 10 pieces are cut out for each of the high grammage portion and the low grammage portion, and each is cut using an electronic balance. Is measured, the average value of the mass of the 10 small pieces is divided by the average value of the areas of the 10 small pieces, and the value is taken as the basis weight.
<Second measuring method>
When the low grammage portion is too narrow to cut out, the grammage can be determined by the following method.
Ten small pieces are cut out from an arbitrary portion of the composite material 2A used for manufacturing the stretchable sheet 2 whose grammage of the high grammage part and the low grammage part is measured. The mass of each of the 10 small pieces of the obtained composite material 2A was measured using an electronic balance, and the average value of the masses of the 10 small pieces was divided by the average value of the areas of the 10 small pieces. , And the value is the basis weight of the composite material 2A. The basis weight of the composite material 2A is set as the basis weight of the high basis weight portion 22. Further, the method of measuring the thickness as described above, elasticity and the thickness of the high basis weight portion 22 and the low basis weight portion 23 of the sheet 2 is measured, high basis weight portion low basis weight portion 23 in which the thickness was measured for L A of 22 calculating the ratio of the thickness L B (L B / L a ).

 本発明に使用する非伸縮性シート3は、凸条部31として、肌の滑りやすさに優れた凸条部31を形成させる観点から、伸縮性を有しない。ここでいう伸縮性は、非伸縮性シート3自体の伸縮性である。
 非伸縮性シート3は、少なくとも、それに重ねた伸縮性シート2における弾性フィラメント21が延びる方向Xにおいて伸縮性を有しないことが好ましく、弾性フィラメント21が延びる方向X及びその直交方向Yの何れにも伸縮性を有しないことが好ましい。非伸縮性シート3は、弾性フィラメント21が延びる方向X及びその直交方向Yの何れにおいても実質的に伸縮性を有していないことが好ましく、その表裏面と平行な方向の総ての方向において伸縮性を有しないことが好ましい。
The non-stretchable sheet 3 used in the present invention has no stretchability from the viewpoint of forming the ridge portion 31 having excellent slipperiness of the skin as the ridge portion 31. The stretchability referred to here is the stretchability of the non-stretchable sheet 3 itself.
It is preferable that the non-stretchable sheet 3 does not have stretchability at least in the direction X in which the elastic filaments 21 of the stretchable sheet 2 stacked on the non-stretchable sheet 3 extend. It is preferred that it has no stretchability. The non-stretchable sheet 3 preferably has substantially no stretchability in either the direction X in which the elastic filament 21 extends or the direction Y orthogonal thereto, and in all directions parallel to the front and back surfaces thereof. It is preferred that it has no stretchability.
 シートが、ある方向に実質的に伸縮性を有しないとは、該シートに対して当該ある方向に引っ張る力を加えても、該シートが、殆ど伸びないことを意味する。例えば、長さ15×幅5cmのサンプルに対して、該サンプルをテンシロン(登録商標)等の材料引っ張り試験機で長手方向に引っ張って、該サンプルが破断するときの破断伸度が10%以下である場合、そのサンプルは、長手方向に伸縮性を有しない。
 なお、破断伸度とは(破断時の該サンプル長さ-該サンプルの元の長さ)/(該サンプルの元の長さ)×100で算出することができる。なお、サンプルの長手方向は前述の「ある方向」と同じ方向である。
The fact that the sheet is not substantially stretchable in a certain direction means that the sheet hardly stretches even when a pulling force is applied to the sheet in the certain direction. For example, when a sample having a length of 15 cm and a width of 5 cm is pulled in the longitudinal direction by a material tensile tester such as Tensilon (registered trademark), the breaking elongation when the sample breaks is 10% or less. In some cases, the sample is not stretchable in the longitudinal direction.
The elongation at break can be calculated by (length of the sample at break-original length of the sample)/(original length of the sample)×100. The longitudinal direction of the sample is the same as the "certain direction" described above.
 本発明に係る伸縮性複合シート1は、伸縮性複合シート1に含まれる伸縮性シート2が、弾性フィラメント21が延びる方向である一方向Xに高坪量部22及び低坪量部23を交互に有しており、伸縮性シート2と非伸縮性シート3とが結合したシール部4が、前記一方向Xに間欠的に形成されているものである。
 また伸縮性複合シート1は、弾性フィラメント21が延びる方向である一方向Xにおいて隣り合う高坪量部22どうしの中心間距離C(図2参照)に対する、該一方向Xに隣り合うシール部4,4どうしの端部間距離A(図2参照)の比(A/C)が、0.2以上20以下である。
 前記比(A/C)が、0.2以上であることによって、伸縮性複合シート1の主たる伸縮方向である、弾性フィラメント21が延びる方向Xにおいて、隣り合うシール部4,4どうし間に、伸縮性シート2における伸縮性の高い低坪量部23が存在しやすくなり、非伸縮性シート3が、凸条部31を形成しやすくなる上に、肌の滑りやすさ、クッション性に優れた凸条部31を形成しやすくなる。他方、前記比(A/C)が、20以下であることによって、凸条部31の倒れ等の形成不良が防止される。
 尚、シール部4と高坪量部22とは、伸縮性複合シート1の厚み方向に重なっていてもよいし、ずれていてもよい。
In the stretchable composite sheet 1 according to the present invention, the stretchable sheet 2 included in the stretchable composite sheet 1 has a high basis weight portion 22 and a low basis weight portion 23 alternately in one direction X, which is a direction in which the elastic filament 21 extends. The seal portion 4 in which the stretchable sheet 2 and the non-stretchable sheet 3 are joined is formed intermittently in the one direction X.
In addition, the stretchable composite sheet 1 includes the seal portions 4 adjacent to the one direction X with respect to the center distance C (see FIG. 2) between the high basis weight portions 22 adjacent to each other in the one direction X in which the elastic filament 21 extends.

It becomes easy to form the ridge portion 31. On the other hand, when the ratio (A/C) is 20 or less, formation defects such as collapse of the ridge portion 31 are prevented.
The seal portion 4 and the high basis weight portion 22 may overlap with each other in the thickness direction of the stretchable composite sheet 1 or may be offset from each other.
 肌の滑りやすさに優れる伸縮性複合シートは、各種製品のヒトの肌に触れる面に使用されたときに、肌との間の摩擦が低減され、例えば手などの身体の肌の一部を、凸条部31が形成された面に触れた状態で動かしたときに滑らかな感触が得られる。
 ヒトの肌に触れる面を有する製品としては、使い捨ておむつ、生理用ナプキン、パンティライナー等の体液吸収性物品、下着のパンツ、パンティ、ブラジャー等の下着、衛生マスク、サポーター等が挙げられる。また肌の滑りやすさに優れる伸縮性複合シートを、凸条部31が形成された面を着用者の肌側に向けて、パンツ型使い捨ておむつや下着のパンツの内面に使用した場合には、着脱するための上げ下げを抵抗なくスムーズに行うことができる等の利点も得られる。また伸縮性複合シートを、凸条部31が形成された面を着用者の肌側とは反対側に向けて、パンツ型使い捨ておむつの外面や下着のパンツの外面に使用した場合には、通気性を想起させるような外観と下着を履かせた場合には下着との接触面積が低くなり履かせ易さの向上を期待することができる等の利点が得られる。
The elastic composite sheet, which excels in slipperiness of the skin, reduces friction with the skin when it is used on the surface of various products that comes into contact with human skin. A smooth feeling can be obtained when moving while touching the surface on which the ridge portion 31 is formed.
Examples of products having a surface that comes into contact with human skin include disposable diapers, sanitary napkins, body fluid absorbent articles such as panty liners, underwear for pants, panties, underwear such as bras, sanitary masks, and supporters. Further, when the stretchable composite sheet excellent in slipperiness of the skin is used for the inner surface of the pants-type disposable diaper or underwear with the surface on which the ridges 31 are formed facing the wearer's skin, There are also advantages such as smooth lifting and lowering for attachment/detachment without resistance. Further, when the stretchable composite sheet is used on the outer surface of the pants-type disposable diaper or the outer surface of the underpants of the underwear with the surface on which the ridges 31 are formed facing the side opposite to the wearer's skin, When the underwear is worn, the contact area with the underwear is reduced and the ease of wearing the underwear can be expected to be improved.
 肌の滑りやすさ、クッション性に優れた凸条部を形成させる観点から、前記比(A/C)は、0.2以上であることがより好ましく、また20以下であることがより好ましく、また1以上15以下がより好ましく、1.5以上5.0以下が更に好ましい。

The spun melted elastic filaments 21 merge with the two sheet materials 20 and 20 which are respectively fed at the same speed from the original fabric, and are sandwiched between the two sheet materials 20 and 20 and taken at a predetermined speed. .. The take-up speed of the elastic filament 21 matches the pay-out speed of both sheet materials 20, 20. The take-up speed of the elastic filament 21 is adjusted so that the draw ratio is 1.1 to 400 times, preferably 4 to 100 times, and more preferably 10 to 80 times the resin discharge speed in the spinning nozzle hole. Preferably.
 弾性フィラメント21は、その固化前に、即ち溶着可能な状態で2枚のシート材20,20と合流する。その結果、弾性フィラメント21は、2枚のシート材20,20に挟持された状態で、これらのシート材20,20に溶着する。つまり、溶着可能になっている弾性フィラメント21に起因する溶融熱によってのみ、該弾性フィラメント21と2枚のシート材20,20とが溶着する。その結果、得られる伸縮性シート2は、シート材20,20の境界面の全域に接着剤を塗布した場合に生じるような硬さが生じにくく、シートとしての柔軟性に優れたものとなる。
 弾性フィラメント21を2枚のシート材20,20と合流させるときには、各弾性フィラメント21が互いに交差せず一方向に配列するようにする。そして、弾性フィラメント21を2枚のシート材20,20と合流させて両シート材20,20間に該弾性フィラメント21を挟持させた状態で、これら三者を一対のニップロール18,18によって挟圧する。このようにして2枚のシート材20,20間に弾性フィラメント21が挟持された複合材2Aが得られる。
The elastic filament 21 joins the two sheet materials 20 and 20 before solidification, that is, in a weldable state. As a result, the elastic filament 21 is welded to the two sheet materials 20 and 20 while being sandwiched between the two sheet materials 20 and 20. That is, the elastic filament 21 and the two sheet materials 20 and 20 are welded only by the heat of fusion caused by the elastic filament 21 that can be welded. As a result, the resulting stretchable sheet 2 is less likely to have hardness as would occur when an adhesive is applied to the entire boundary surface between the sheet materials 20 and 20, and is excellent in flexibility as a sheet.
When joining the elastic filaments 21 with the two sheet materials 20, 20, the elastic filaments 21 are arranged in one direction without intersecting each other. Then, in a state where the elastic filament 21 is joined with the two sheet materials 20 and 20 and the elastic filament 21 is sandwiched between the two sheet materials 20 and 20, these three members are sandwiched by a pair of nip rolls 18 and 18. .. Thus, the composite material 2A in which the elastic filament 21 is sandwiched between the two sheet materials 20 and 20 is obtained.
 2枚のシート材20,20として本来的に伸長性を有しないものを用いた場合には、シート材20を伸長可能とする伸縮性発現処理工程を施す。本実施形態における伸縮性発現処理工程においては、歯溝延伸装置25を用いて、両シート材20,20に延伸処理を施す。この延伸処理は、複合材2Aを、弾性フィラメント21の延びる方向に沿って延伸して、両シート材20,20に伸長性を付与する処理である。ここでいう、伸長性の付与には、多少の伸長性を有するシート材の伸長性を大きく向上させる場合も含まれる。
 歯溝延伸装置25の要部が図7(b)に示されている。図7に示す歯溝延伸装置25は、軸方向に延びる突条部である歯と、歯と歯との間に形成され軸方向に延びる溝とを周方向に交互に有しており、図8に示すように、互いに噛み合う一対の歯溝ロール26,27を備えている。歯溝延伸装置25を用いた伸縮性発現処理工程においては、一対の歯溝ロール26,27間に、前駆体製造工程で得られた複合材2Aを供給し、複合材2Aに延伸させることで、複合材2Aに含まれるシート材20,20が伸長可能となった伸縮性シート2を得る。歯溝ロール26,27の歯形としては、一般的なインボリュート歯形、サイクロイド歯形が用いられ、特にこれらの歯幅を細くしたものが好ましい。
When the two sheet materials 20 and 20 that do not inherently have extensibility are used, a stretch-developing treatment step that makes the sheet material 20 extensible is performed. In the stretch-developing treatment step in the present embodiment, the tooth groove stretching device 25 is used to perform stretching processing on both sheet materials 20, 20. This stretching process is a process of stretching the composite material 2A along the extending direction of the elastic filaments 21 to impart extensibility to both the sheet materials 20 and 20. Here, imparting the extensibility includes the case of greatly improving the extensibility of a sheet material having some extensibility.
The main part of the tooth space stretching device 25 is shown in FIG. 7(b). The tooth groove extension device 25 shown in FIG. 7 has teeth, which are ridges extending in the axial direction, and grooves formed between the teeth and extending in the axial direction, alternately in the circumferential direction. As shown in FIG. 8, it is provided with a pair of tooth groove rolls 26 and 27 which mesh with each other. In the elasticity developing treatment step using the tooth groove stretching device 25, the composite material 2A obtained in the precursor manufacturing step is supplied between the pair of tooth groove rolls 26 and 27 and stretched to the composite material 2A. The stretchable sheet 2 in which the sheet materials 20 and 20 included in the composite material 2A are capable of stretching is obtained. As the tooth profile of the tooth space rolls 26 and 27, a general involute tooth profile or a cycloid tooth profile is used, and it is particularly preferable that the tooth width thereof is narrow.
 図8に示すように、複合材2Aが歯溝ロール26,27間を通過する際には、複合材2Aは、歯溝ロール26,27の歯26a,27aに当接する領域(P3-P2間、P1-P4間)においては、ほとんど延伸されない。これに対し、駆動ロールである歯溝ロール27の歯27aの歯面によって、従動ロールである歯溝ロール26の歯26aの歯面に向けて押圧される領域(P2-P1間)においては、両歯26a,27aによって大きく延伸される。また、歯溝ロール27の歯27aの先端部によって、歯溝ロール26の歯26aから引き離される領域(P4-P3間)においては、前記領域(P2-P1間)程ではないが、大きく延伸される。また複合材2Aは、歯溝ロール26,27の歯26a,27aの先端部に当接する領域(P3-P2間、P1-P4間)においては、前述のとおりほとんど延伸されないが、歯26a,27aの先端部によって、その径方向に、つまり複合材2Aの厚み方向に片押しされるので、厚み方向に薄くなる。 As shown in FIG. 8, when the composite material 2A passes between the tooth space rolls 26 and 27, the composite material 2A contacts the teeth 26a and 27a of the tooth space rolls 26 and 27 in the area (between P3 and P2). , Between P1 and P4) is hardly stretched. On the other hand, in the region (between P2 and P1) pressed by the tooth surface of the tooth 27a of the tooth groove roll 27 which is the drive roll toward the tooth surface of the tooth 26a of the tooth groove roll 26 which is the driven roll, It is greatly stretched by the two teeth 26a, 27a. Further, in the region (between P4 and P3) separated from the tooth 26a of the tooth groove roll 26 by the tip end portion of the tooth 27a of the tooth groove roll 27, it is largely stretched, although not as much as the above region (between P2 and P1). It Further, the composite material 2A is hardly stretched as described above in the regions (between P3 and P2, between P1 and P4) in contact with the tips of the teeth 26a and 27a of the tooth groove rolls 26 and 27, but the teeth 26a and 27a are not stretched. Since the tip end of the composite material is unidirectionally pushed in the radial direction, that is, in the thickness direction of the composite material 2A, it becomes thin in the thickness direction.
 前記の延伸プロセスによって、弾性フィラメント21と両シート材20,20との剥離を防止しつつ、複合材2Aにおける両シート材20,20を効率的に延伸させ、伸長性を付与することができる。そして、大きく延伸される領域(P2-P1間及びP4-P3間)が低坪量部23となり、ほとんど延伸されない領域(P3-P2間、P1-P4間)が高坪量部22となる。 By the above-described stretching process, it is possible to efficiently stretch both the sheet materials 20 and 20 in the composite material 2A while imparting extensibility while preventing the elastic filament 21 and the sheet materials 20 and 20 from being separated from each other. Areas that are largely stretched (between P2-P1 and P4-P3) are low basis weight portions 23, and areas that are hardly stretched (between P3-P2 and P1-P4) are high basis weight portions 22.
 このようにして、複合材2Aが一対の歯溝ロール26,27等によって部分的に延伸させることで、伸縮性シート2が得られる。図6及び図7には、複合材2Aをロール状に巻き取ってロール状物2Rとした後、ロール状物2Rから巻き出した複合材2Aに延伸処理を施す場合を示したが、製造した複合材2Aを、ロール状に巻き取ることなく、歯溝ロール26,27を用いた歯溝延伸装置に導入しても良い。
 得られた伸縮性シート2は、図7に示すように、搬送方向MDへ伸長された状態とされ、その伸長状態下に非伸縮性シート3と合流される。
 本実施形態におけるシートシール工程においては、その伸長状態の伸縮性シート2と非伸縮性シート3とが重ねられた積層シート10に対して、伸縮性シート2と非伸縮性シート3とを部分的にシールさせるシール加工が施される。シール加工には、伸縮性シート2と非伸縮性シート3とを部分的にシールさせることができる任意の装置を用いることができ、例えば、ヒートシール装置、超音波シール装置、高周波シール装置等を用いることができる。
 また本実施形態におけるシートシール工程では、前記一方向Xにおいて、隣り合う高坪量部22どうしの中心間距離Cに対する、隣り合うシール部4どうしの端部間距離Aの比が、0.2以上20以下となるように、伸縮性シート2と非伸縮性シート3とをシール部4で部分的に接合する。
In this way, the stretchable sheet 2 is obtained by partially stretching the composite material 2A with the pair of tooth groove rolls 26, 27 and the like. FIGS. 6 and 7 show a case where the composite material 2A is wound into a roll to form a roll-shaped material 2R, and then the composite material 2A unwound from the roll-shaped material 2R is subjected to a stretching treatment. The composite material 2A may be introduced into a tooth space extending device using the tooth space rolls 26 and 27 without being wound into a roll shape.
As shown in FIG. 7, the stretchable sheet 2 thus obtained is stretched in the transport direction MD, and joined with the non-stretchable sheet 3 under the stretched state.
In the sheet sealing step in the present embodiment, the stretchable sheet 2 and the non-stretchable sheet 3 are partially attached to the laminated sheet 10 in which the stretchable sheet 2 and the non-stretchable sheet 3 are stacked. Sealing process is applied to seal to. For the sealing process, any device capable of partially sealing the stretchable sheet 2 and the non-stretchable sheet 3 can be used. For example, a heat sealing device, an ultrasonic sealing device, a high frequency sealing device, or the like can be used. Can be used.
Further, in the sheet sealing step in the present embodiment, the ratio of the distance A between the ends of the adjacent seal portions 4 to the distance C between the centers of the adjacent high basis weight portions 22 in the one direction X is 0.2. The stretchable sheet 2 and the non-stretchable sheet 3 are partially joined by the seal portion 4 so that the number is 20 or less.
 伸縮性シート2は、非伸縮性シート3と接合させる際における、弾性フィラメント21が延びる方向Xへの伸長倍率が、好ましくは1.1倍以上、より好ましくは1.2倍以上であり、好ましくは5倍以下、より好ましくは4.5倍以下であり、また好ましくは1.1倍以上5倍以下、より好ましくは1.2倍以上4.5倍以下である。図6に示す製造方法においては、伸縮性シート2と非伸縮性シート3とを接合させる際の、両シート2,3の搬送方向と、弾性フィラメント21が延びる方向Xとが一致している。伸縮性シート2の伸長倍率は、伸長状態における長さを、伸長前の外力を加えない状態下の長さ、すなわち自然状態の長さで除して求められる。
 伸縮性シート2は、引張試験機により弾性フィラメント21が延びる方向Xに引張速度300mm/minで引っ張り、応力が3.0Nとなった時点における該方向Xの長さが、該伸縮性シート2の前記自然状態における該方向Xの長さの1.1倍以上5倍以下であることが好ましい。
The stretchable sheet 2 has an extension ratio in the direction X in which the elastic filament 21 extends in the joining with the non-stretchable sheet 3, preferably 1.1 times or more, more preferably 1.2 times or more, and preferably. Is 5 times or less, more preferably 4.5 times or less, and preferably 1.1 times or more and 5 times or less, more preferably 1.2 times or more and 4.5 times or less. In the manufacturing method shown in FIG. 6, when the stretchable sheet 2 and the non-stretchable sheet 3 are joined, the transport direction of both sheets 2 and 3 and the direction X in which the elastic filament 21 extends are the same. The stretch ratio of the stretchable sheet 2 is obtained by dividing the length in the stretched state by the length in a state where no external force before stretching is applied, that is, the length in the natural state.
The stretchable sheet 2 is pulled by a tensile tester in a direction X in which the elastic filament 21 extends at a pulling rate of 300 mm/min, and the length of the stretchable sheet 2 in the direction X at the time when the stress becomes 3.0 N. It is preferably 1.1 times or more and 5 times or less the length in the direction X in the natural state.
 図7には、超音波ホーン42を備えた超音波シール装置40を用いて、伸縮性シート2及び非伸縮性シート3に対して、伸縮性シート2と非伸縮性シート3との間を部分的にシールさせるシール加工を施す場合が示されている。図7に示す超音波シール装置40は、積層シート10の超音波ホーン42側に向けられる超音波印加面とは反対側の面を支持する支持ロール41を備えている。また超音波ホーン42の先端面又は支持ロール41の表面には、伸縮性複合シート1に形成するシール部4に対応するパターンで、シール用凸部(図示せず)が形成されており、積層シート10を、支持ロール41と超音波ホーン42との間で挟んだ状態で、超音波ホーン42により積層シート10に超音波を印加することで、積層シート10に、伸縮性シート2を構成するシート材20及び非伸縮性シート3を構成するシート材の何れか一方又は双方のシート材が溶融又は軟化し、伸縮性シート2と非伸縮性シート3とがシールによって部分的に接合されたシール部4が形成される。積層シート10における超音波ホーン42側に向けられる超音波印加面は、伸縮性シート2により形成されていてもよいし、非伸縮性シート3により形成されていてもよいが、超音波ホーン42の摩擦抵抗による伸縮性シート2へのダメージ、複合シート形成時の伸縮性の観点から、非伸縮性シート3により形成されていることが好ましい。図7中、符号28及び29は、ニップロールであり、符号3Rは、非伸縮性シート3を巻回したロール状物である。支持ロール41は、回転駆動されるものでも搬送されるシートに連れ回りする従動ロールであっても良い。また支持ロール41に代えて回転しない支持部材を用いても良い。 In FIG. 7, an ultrasonic sealing device 40 provided with an ultrasonic horn 42 is used to partially stretch the stretchable sheet 2 and the non-stretchable sheet 3 between the stretchable sheet 2 and the non-stretchable sheet 3. A case is shown in which a sealing process is performed to achieve a positive seal. The ultrasonic sealing device 40 shown in FIG. 7 includes a support roll 41 that supports the surface of the laminated sheet 10 opposite to the ultrasonic wave application surface facing the ultrasonic horn 42 side. Further, on the tip end surface of the ultrasonic horn 42 or the surface of the support roll 41, a sealing convex portion (not shown) is formed in a pattern corresponding to the sealing portion 4 formed on the stretchable composite sheet 1, and laminated. The stretchable sheet 2 is formed in the laminated sheet 10 by applying ultrasonic waves to the laminated sheet 10 with the ultrasonic horn 42 while sandwiching the sheet 10 between the support roll 41 and the ultrasonic horn 42. A seal in which one or both of the sheet materials constituting the sheet material 20 and the non-stretchable sheet 3 are melted or softened, and the stretchable sheet 2 and the non-stretchable sheet 3 are partially joined by a seal. The part 4 is formed. The ultrasonic wave application surface of the laminated sheet 10 facing the ultrasonic horn 42 side may be formed of the stretchable sheet 2 or the non-stretchable sheet 3, but the ultrasonic horn 42 of the ultrasonic horn 42 may be formed. From the viewpoint of damage to the stretchable sheet 2 due to frictional resistance and stretchability during formation of the composite sheet, it is preferable that the non-stretchable sheet 3 be used. In FIG. 7, reference numerals 28 and 29 are nip rolls, and reference numeral 3R is a roll-shaped material around which the non-stretchable sheet 3 is wound. The support roll 41 may be a roll that is driven to rotate or a driven roll that rotates along with the conveyed sheet. Instead of the support roll 41, a non-rotating support member may be used.
 図2に示すように、弾性フィラメント21が延びる方向Xに直交する方向に間欠的に複数のシール部4を形成する場合は、弾性フィラメント21が延びる方向Xを積層シート10の搬送方向MDとするとともに、超音波ホーン42又は支持ロール41として、積層シート10の幅方向に対応する方向に、シール用凸部(図示せず)が間欠的に複数配置されたものを用いることが好ましい。また超音波ホーン42の積層シート10に接する面に、シール用凸部を形成する場合、弾性フィラメント21が延びる方向Xを積層シート10の搬送方向MDとするとともに、積層シート10に間欠的に超音波振動を印加し、積層シート10の搬送方向MDに間欠的にシール部4を形成することで、弾性フィラメント21が延びる方向Xに間欠的にシール部4が形成された積層シート10が得られる。シール部4は、弾性フィラメント21が延びる方向Xの直交方向Yに連続して延びるシール部であっても良いが、図2及び図9に示す伸縮性複合シート1,1Aのように、弾性フィラメント21が延びる方向Xの直交方向Yに間欠的に形成されていることが、シートの柔軟性の一層の向上の観点から好ましい。 As shown in FIG. 2, when the plurality of seal portions 4 are intermittently formed in the direction orthogonal to the direction X in which the elastic filament 21 extends, the direction X in which the elastic filament 21 extends is defined as the conveyance direction MD of the laminated sheet 10. In addition, it is preferable to use, as the ultrasonic horn 42 or the support roll 41, a plurality of sealing projections (not shown) intermittently arranged in a direction corresponding to the width direction of the laminated sheet 10. Further, when forming a sealing projection on the surface of the ultrasonic horn 42 that contacts the laminated sheet 10, the direction X in which the elastic filament 21 extends is set as the transport direction MD of the laminated sheet 10, and the laminated sheet 10 is intermittently superposed. By applying sonic vibration and intermittently forming the seal portion 4 in the transport direction MD of the laminated sheet 10, the laminated sheet 10 in which the seal portion 4 is intermittently formed in the direction X in which the elastic filament 21 extends is obtained. .. The seal part 4 may be a seal part continuously extending in a direction Y orthogonal to the direction X in which the elastic filament 21 extends, but as in the stretchable composite sheets 1 and 1A shown in FIGS. It is preferable that the sheet 21 is intermittently formed in the direction Y orthogonal to the extending direction X from the viewpoint of further improving the flexibility of the sheet.
 そして、そのシール部4が形成された積層シート10を、搬送方向MDに加えていた張力から開放し、弾性フィラメント21が延びる方向Xと同方向に収縮させることにより、非伸縮性シート3における、該一方向Xにおいてシール部4どうし間に位置する部分が伸縮性シート2から離れる方向に突出する。これにより、図1に示すような複数の凸条部31が形成された伸縮性複合シート1が得られる。 Then, the laminated sheet 10 on which the seal portion 4 is formed is released from the tension applied in the transport direction MD, and contracted in the same direction as the direction X in which the elastic filament 21 extends, whereby the non-stretchable sheet 3 Portions located between the seal portions 4 in the one direction X project in a direction away from the elastic sheet 2. As a result, the stretchable composite sheet 1 having the plurality of ridges 31 as shown in FIG. 1 is obtained.

(2)評価結果:結果を表1に示した。
2. Skin slipperiness (1) Method: With respect to the sheet of each example, the MMD value (average deviation of friction coefficient) was measured by the following method to evaluate the skin slipperiness.
The MMD value serves as an index of the surface roughness of the skin-facing surface of the sheet that is the measurement target, and the smaller the MMD value, the less the friction with the wearer's skin and the higher the evaluation. Therefore, the slipperiness of the skin on the sheet to be evaluated can be evaluated from the measured MMD value.
<MMD value measurement method>
Using a commercially available measuring device (KES-FB4 surface tester manufactured by Kato Tech Co., Ltd.), the sheet to be measured is MMD under the conditions of speed: 0.1 cm/s, initial tension: 400 g, roughness pressurization: 10 gf. The value was measured. The MMD value serves as an index of the surface roughness of the measurement object, and the smaller the MMD value, the less the friction with the skin of the wearer and the higher the evaluation.

I cut out a piece. The test piece was placed in a tensile tester (Tensilon (registered trademark): manufactured by Orientec Co., Ltd.: model: AG-1/50N-10kN) so that the chuck distance was 100 mm and the initial tension was 0.01 to 0.05N. Set to. The test piece was pulled at a pulling speed of 300 mm/min, and the distance between chucks when the stress reached 3.0 N was measured. The value obtained by dividing the distance between chucks when the stress reached 3.0 N by the distance between chucks before pulling (100 mm) was defined as the elongation rate.
(2) Evaluation results: The results are shown in FIG.
 図11(a)に示す結果から、シール部の端部間距離Aが長くなると、伸長率が大きくなり、伸びやすいことが判る。また図11(b)に示す結果から、シール部の端部間距離Bが長くなると、伸長率が大きくなり、伸びやすいことが判る。 From the results shown in FIG. 11(a), it can be seen that when the distance A between the end portions of the seal portion becomes long, the extension rate becomes large and the extension easily occurs. Further, from the results shown in FIG. 11B, it is understood that when the distance B between the end portions of the seal portion is increased, the extension rate is increased and the extension is likely to occur.
