Description

  The present invention relates to a stretchable sheet having stretchability.

  As a technique relating to a stretchable sheet formed by combining elastic fibers and nonwoven fabrics, the present applicant previously described that a number of elastic filaments arranged so as to extend in one direction without crossing each other are substantially in an unstretched state. Therefore, an elastic sheet formed by joining an extensible nonwoven fabric including inelastic fibers over the entire length thereof is disclosed (Patent Documents 1 and 2).

  Separately from this, Patent Document 3 describes a stretchable nonwoven fabric having irregularities, including an extensible fiber and a stretchable fiber, and having a plurality of apertures therethrough.

  The stretchable sheets described in Patent Documents 1 and 2 are stretchable sheets that are excellent in stretchability and have sufficient strength for practical use. However, there was a need to further improve the air permeability.

  According to the stretchable nonwoven fabric described in Patent Document 3, since it has a plurality of apertures that penetrate therethrough, the air permeability is improved and the usability is improved.

  However, since the stretchable nonwoven fabric described in Patent Document 3 forms an opening that penetrates the fluid by spraying it with a strong force, the stretchable fibers may be sorted out or the stretchable fibers may be broken. Thus, the nonwoven fabric is inferior in stretch properties. Moreover, it is difficult to maintain practically sufficient nonwoven fabric strength.

  Therefore, this invention is providing the elastic nonwoven fabric which can eliminate the fault which the prior art mentioned above has.

  The present invention is a stretchable sheet having stretchability including elastic fibers and non-elastic fibers, wherein a plurality of holes are opened in the stretched state, the holes are closed in the non-stretched state, and the stretched sheet is opened in the stretched state. An elastic sheet in which the elastic fibers are continuously arranged inside the holes and the non-elastic fibers are not present is provided.

  ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION According to this invention, the elastic sheet which is excellent in a stretching property and has practically sufficient intensity | strength is maintained, maintaining air permeability.

  The present invention will be described below based on preferred embodiments with reference to the drawings. 1 to 3 show an embodiment of the stretchable sheet of the present invention. FIG. 1A shows a non-extended state of the stretchable sheet, that is, a natural state (relaxed state) where no external force is applied, and FIG. 1B shows a stretched state of the stretchable sheet. is there. The stretchable sheet 10 of the present embodiment is a stretchable sheet that includes elastic fibers and non-elastic fibers. And the elastic sheet 10 of this embodiment is clamped and fixed between the 1st sheet | seat base material 11 and the 2nd sheet | seat base material 12 which were opposingly arranged, and the several filament-shaped elastic fiber 13 extended in one direction, 13, 13... In the elastic sheet 10 of this embodiment, the 1st sheet base material 11 and the 2nd sheet base material 12 are formed including the inelastic fiber.

  The stretchable sheet 10 has a longitudinal direction X and a width direction Y orthogonal thereto. In the stretchable sheet 10 of this embodiment, the longitudinal direction X of the stretchable sheet 10 looks at the main orientation directions of the constituent fibers of the first sheet base material 11 and the second sheet base material 12, and is in the fiber orientation direction. The width direction Y of the stretchable sheet 10 matches the CD direction perpendicular to the MD direction. Moreover, MD direction (X direction) is also a direction when manufacturing the elastic sheet 10.

The “elasticity” of the elastic fiber means that the elastic fiber (filament-like elastic fiber 13 in the present embodiment) has elasticity in a state where the elastic fiber is taken out from the stretchable sheet 10. Here, “having elasticity” means that the force can be extended from a state where the length is 1.3 times the original length (the length is 1.3 times the original length). When released, it refers to the property of returning to 1.1 times the original length or less.
“Non-elastic” of the non-elastic fiber means that the non-elastic fiber (in this embodiment, the first sheet base material 11 and the second sheet base material 12) does not have elasticity in a state where it is taken out from the stretchable sheet 10. Here, “not elastic” means that when the force is released from a state where it is stretched 1.3 times the original length (1.3 times the original length), A property that does not return to 1.1 times or less of the original length.
Further, in the present invention, the “stretched state of the stretchable sheet” means a state in which the stretchable sheet is stretched in the MD direction with a strength of 300 cN / 50 mm corresponding to the non-stretching.

  In the elastic sheet 10 of the present embodiment, the first sheet base 11 and the second sheet base 12 are formed from two other sheet bases having the same shape and the same size. The first sheet substrate 11 and the second sheet substrate 12 may be formed by folding one sheet substrate or partially overlapping one sheet substrate. The two sheet base materials 11 and 12 of the stretchable sheet 10 may be made of the same material or different materials.

  A plurality of filament-like elastic fibers 13 sandwiched and fixed between the sheet base materials 11 and 12 are formed long in one direction. Filament-like elastic fibers 13 are arranged extending continuously in the longitudinal direction X, and a plurality of filament-like elastic fibers 13 are arranged at intervals in the width direction Y. The distance between the filament-like elastic fibers 13 adjacent in the width direction Y may be the same or different.

  The stretchable sheet 10 is stretchable along the longitudinal direction X, which is the direction in which the filament-like elastic fiber 13 extends. On the other hand, with respect to the width direction Y, the stretchable sheet 10 is substantially non-stretchable. The stretchability of the stretchable sheet 10 is expressed due to the stretchability of the filament-like elastic fiber 13. On the other hand, it is not essential for the present invention that the sheet base materials 11 and 12 have elasticity, but a material having a sufficient tensile strength and a good texture can be obtained. From the viewpoint of not inhibiting the stretchability of the elastic fiber 13, the sheet base materials 11 and 12 are preferably inelastic and have extensibility.

In the stretchable sheet 10, as shown in FIG. 1, the top part 14 t and the valley part 14 v are formed so as to extend in a direction orthogonal to the extending direction of the filament-like elastic fiber 13, that is, in the width direction Y. When viewed along the longitudinal direction X, the top portion 14t and the valley portion 14v are formed at an equal pitch. The pitch of the top portions 14t is the distance between the apexes of the top portions 14t adjacent in the longitudinal direction X. The pitch of the valley portions 14v is a distance between the bottom points of the valley portions 14v adjacent in the longitudinal direction X.
Note that the top portion 14t and the valley portion 14v may be formed at different pitches.

  2 and 3 are longitudinal sectional views along the extending direction of the filament-like elastic fibers 13 in the stretchable sheet 10 of the present embodiment. FIG. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view of the stretchable sheet 10 in a natural state (non-stretched state, relaxed state), and FIG. 3 is a longitudinal sectional view of the stretchable sheet 10 in a stretched state stretched under the above-described conditions. In the natural state, the stretchable sheet 10 has a corrugated shape in which the top portions 14t and the valley portions 14v are alternately arranged, and the top portion 14t and the valley portion 14v are connected via the ridge line portion 15. The thickness of the ridge line portion 15 is slightly smaller than the thickness of the portion 14 v. Therefore, the ridge line portion 15 transmits light more easily than the top portion 14t and the valley portion 14v. In particular, in a stretched state, a horizontal stripe pattern appears due to the ridge line portion 15 that easily transmits light and the top portion 14t and the valley portion 14v that are less likely to transmit light.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the stretchable elastic sheet 10 has a high basis weight portion derived from the top portion 14 t and the valley portion 14 v and a low basis weight portion derived from the ridge line portion 15 that easily transmits light. The high basis weight portions and the low basis weight portions are alternately arranged in the longitudinal direction X alternately. Each of the high basis weight portions and each of the low basis weight portions extend in a band shape in the width direction Y, respectively. In addition, about the high basic weight part, what protrudes above the elastic sheet 10 derived from the top part 14t and what protrudes below the elastic sheet 10 derived from the valley part 14v are longitudinal directions X. Are alternately arranged.

The total thickness of the stretchable sheet 10 is preferably 0.2 mm or more and 2.0 mm or less, particularly preferably 0.6 mm or more and 1.6 mm or less. Moreover, it is preferable that the thickness of the high basic weight part originating in the top part 14t and the trough part 14v is 0.5 mm or more and 1.5 mm or less, especially 0.5 mm or more and 1.0 mm or less. The thickness of the low basis weight portion derived from the ridge line portion 15 is preferably 0.05 mm to 0.5 mm, particularly preferably 0.1 mm to 0.4 mm. The thickness is measured by the following method after the stretchable sheet 10 is left unloaded for 2 days or more in an environment of 20 ± 2 ° C. and 65 ± 5% RH. First, the stretchable sheet 10 is sandwiched between flat plates with a load of 0.5 cN / cm ^{2 in} a state in which the stretchable sheet 10 is stretched 1.5 times. The cross section is observed with a microscope at a magnification of 50 to 200 times, and the thickness is obtained for each field of view. And the calculated | required measurement result is averaged and let an average value be each thickness.

  In the stretched state shown in FIG. 1B, the stretchable sheet 10 has a plurality of holes 16 open, and in the non-stretched state shown in FIG. 1A, the holes 16 are closed. As shown in FIG. 1B, the elastic fiber 13 is continuously arranged inside the hole 16 opened in the stretched state, and the first sheet base material 11 and the second sheet base material 12 are inelastic. There are no fibers. Hereinafter, the hole 16 will be described in detail.

In the stretchable sheet 10 of the present embodiment, the plurality of holes 16 are formed in a circular shape in plan view in the extended state shown in FIG. The plurality of holes 16 penetrate the first sheet base material 11 and the second sheet base material 12 by tearing a part of the first sheet base material 11 and the second sheet base material 12 in the stretchable stretchable sheet 10. Is formed. The filament-like elastic fiber 13 is not torn. The plurality of holes 16 are irregularly arranged in the low basis weight portion derived from the ridge line portion 15 in the stretchable elastic sheet 10. In the inside of the hole 16, only the filament-like elastic fibers 13 extending continuously in the longitudinal direction X are arranged across the hole 16 as shown in FIG. As described above, in the stretchable sheet 10, not only the nonelastic fibers constituting the first sheet base material 11 and the second sheet base material 12 but also the first sheet base materials other than the nonelastic fibers are formed in the holes 16. 11 and the fiber which comprises the 2nd sheet | seat base material 12 also do not exist. In the stretchable sheet 10 in a non-stretched state (natural state or relaxed state), the plurality of holes 16 are closed by contracting the stretched elastic fibers 13 arranged across the holes 16. Here, the hole 16 means a through-hole having a surface area of 0.2 mm ² or more in plan view of the stretchable elastic sheet 10. The shape of the holes can be indefinite, circular or elliptical.

In the stretchable elastic sheet 10, the surface area of each circular hole 16 is 0.2 mm ² or more and 20 mm ² or less (preferably 1.7 mm ² or more from the viewpoint of obtaining a highly breathable one. and more preferably 7.0 mm ² or less. the number of the plurality of holes 16, from the same viewpoint, it is preferable that one / 100 cm ² or more is 5000/100 cm ² or less, 10 pieces / 100 cm ² or more 1200 The number of pieces / 100 cm ² or less is more preferable.

  In the elastic sheet 10 of the present embodiment, the filament-like elastic fibers 13 are arranged in a state where there is no elongation strain. More specifically, the stretchable sheet 10 of the present embodiment is manufactured according to the manufacturing method described later, and the filament-like elastic fiber 13 is stretched in a state where its constituent resin is melted or softened, and includes inelastic fibers. The formed first sheet base material 11 and second sheet base material 12 and elastic fiber 13 are joined and formed in a molten state. Thereby, the filament-like elastic fiber 13 becomes a sufficiently thin filament, and the appearance of the stretchable sheet 10 is improved. In addition, after the filament-like elastic fiber 13 is bonded to the first sheet base material 11 and the second sheet base material 12, the elastic fiber 13 at room temperature does not show a force to shrink, and the elastic fiber 13 It becomes the same state as having joined to the 1st sheet base material 11 and the 2nd sheet base material 12 in the non-extension state. That is, the filament-like elastic fiber 13 is arranged in a state in which the stretchable sheet 10 has no elongation strain. The state in which the filamentary elastic fiber 13 is not stretched continues even after the stretching step in the manufacturing method described later.

As the 1st and 2nd sheet base materials 11 and 12 which constitute elastic sheet 10, various fiber sheets, such as a nonwoven fabric, a film, paper, woven fabric, can be used, for example. Alternatively, a laminate of the fiber sheet and a synthetic resin film can be used. Examples of the nonwoven fabric include known nonwoven fabrics such as air-through nonwoven fabric, spunbond nonwoven fabric, thermal bond nonwoven fabric, spunlace nonwoven fabric, meltblown nonwoven fabric, airlaid nonwoven fabric, resin bond nonwoven fabric, needle punched nonwoven fabric, and wet nonwoven fabric without particular limitation. Can do. The basis weights of the sheet base materials 11 and 12 are each independently preferably 4 g / m ² or more and 30 g / m ² or less, and more preferably 6 g / m ² or more and 20 g / m ² or less.

  Examples of inelastic fibers contained in the sheet base materials 11 and 12 include polyolefin resins such as polyethylene, polypropylene and polybutene, polyester resins such as polyethylene terephthalate and polybutylene terephthalate, polyamide resins such as nylon, polystyrene and poly Examples thereof include fibers composed of vinyl resins such as vinyl chloride, acrylonitrile resins such as acrylic, and methacrylic resins. Alternatively, fibers can be formed from a blend of two or more of these resins, or composite fibers (core-sheath fibers or side-by-side fibers) in which two or more of these resins are combined can be used. Natural fibers such as cotton and pulp can also be used.

  The non-elastic fiber may be a fiber provided with a small amount of additives such as a release agent, an antistatic agent, a lubricant, a hydrophilizing agent, and a fiber colorant. In particular, when a release agent is applied, the bonding strength between the elastic fiber 13 and the non-elastic fiber, which will be described later, can be suppressed, the elastic fiber 13 in the stretchable sheet 10 is hardly cut, and the stretchability of the stretchable sheet 10 is improved. . The addition amount of the release agent is preferably 0.05 wt% to 3 wt%.

  In addition to the non-elastic fibers, elastic fibers made of a resin such as a thermoplastic elastomer may be used for the sheet base materials 11 and 12.

  Examples of the elastic fiber 13 constituting the stretchable sheet 10 include fibers made of a natural rubber or a thermoplastic elastomer resin material. Examples of thermoplastic elastomer resin materials include SBS (styrene-butadiene-styrene), SIS (styrene-isoprene-styrene), SEBS (styrene-ethylene-butadiene-styrene), and SEPS (styrene-ethylene-propylene-styrene). Examples thereof include styrene-based elastomers, olefin-based elastomers (ethylene-based α-olefin elastomers, propylene-based elastomers copolymerized with ethylene / butene / octene, etc.), polyester-based elastomers, and polyurethane-based elastomers. The elastic fiber 13 may be a single component type, or may be a core-sheath type or a side-by-side type multi-component type. Regardless of whether it is a single-component system or a multi-component system, the thickness of the filament-like elastic fiber 13 in the produced composite 10 is preferably 5 μm or more and 500 μm or less in terms of diameter, More preferably, it is 15 μm or more and 120 μm or less. When filamentous elastic fibers 13 are arranged in parallel, the pitch of the elastic fibers 13 is preferably 0.1 mm or more and 5 mm or less, and more preferably 0.5 mm or more and 1.5 mm or less.

  In the elastic sheet 10 of this embodiment, the value obtained by dividing the bonding strength (A) between the elastic fiber 13 and the non-elastic fiber by the maximum tensile strength (B) of the elastic fiber 13 is 0.1 or less. Preferably, it is 0.07 or less, more preferably 0.05 or less. The lower limit is preferably 0.01 or more. When formed with such a relationship, the elastic fiber 13 in the stretchable sheet 10 is hardly cut in the stretching step in the manufacturing method described later, and the stretchability of the stretchable sheet 10 is improved.

  Specifically, the bonding strength (A) between the elastic fiber 13 and the non-elastic fiber is preferably 0.35 cN or less, more preferably 0.25 cN or less, and 0.20 cN or less. Particularly preferred. This bonding strength is the strength when the elastic fiber peels from the non-elastic fiber. In addition, there is no restriction | limiting in particular in a lower limit, Although it is so preferable that it is low, from a viewpoint of the moldability of the elastic sheet 10, it is preferable that it is 0.05 cN or more. The bonding strength (A) between the elastic fiber 13 and the non-elastic fiber is measured as follows.

<Measurement method of bonding strength between elastic fiber and non-elastic fiber>
The bonding strength between the elastic fiber and the non-elastic fiber in the present application means the bonding strength in the stretching direction. When expanding and contracting in the MD direction, first, a rectangular test piece having a size of 150 mm in the MD direction (X direction) and 25 mm in the CD direction (Y direction) is cut out from the composite 1. Then, the end of the cut specimen is peeled off by about 10 mm so as to separate the elastic fiber and the non-elastic fiber, and attached to a tensile tester (Shimadzu Autograph AG-1k NIS). The distance between chucks is 5 mm. The test piece is peeled in the MD direction (X direction) at a speed of 300 mm / min, and the average peel strength at that time is measured. Count the number of chucked elastic fibers. The distinction between the elastic fiber and the non-elastic fiber can be made by a difference in stretchability, a difference in the fiber diameters, and a dyeing using a discrimination dye. The bonding strength between the elastic fiber and the non-elastic fiber is obtained by dividing the average peel strength by the number of elastic fibers. Further, when expanding and contracting in the CD direction, the X direction and the Y direction are switched. When the peel strength is high and the elastic fiber breaks without peeling, the maximum strength is taken as the peel strength.

  Further, the maximum tensile strength (B) of the elastic fiber 13 is preferably 0.1 cN / line or more and 10 cN / line or less, more preferably 1 cN / line or more and 10 cN / line or less. The maximum tensile strength (B) of the elastic fiber 13 is measured as follows.

<Measurement method of maximum tensile strength of elastic fiber>
First, an elastic fiber is cut out from the stretchable sheet 10. The distinction between elastic and inelastic fibers can be extended, and the force is released from a state where the original length is 1.3 times longer (1.3 times longer than the original length). When it does, select the one that returns to 1.1 times or less of the original length.
The maximum tensile strength of the elastic fiber is measured in accordance with JIS L-1015 under the conditions of a measurement environment temperature and humidity of 20 ± 2 ° C., 65 ± 5% RH, a tensile tester gripping distance of 20 mm, and a tensile speed of 20 mm / min. In addition, when collecting fibers from an already manufactured non-woven fabric and measuring the elongation, when the gripping interval cannot be 20 mm, that is, when the length of the fiber to be measured is less than 20 mm, the gripping interval is set. Measure by setting to 10 mm or 5 mm.

  Next, the suitable manufacturing method of the elastic sheet 10 of this embodiment is demonstrated, referring FIGS. The manufacturing method of this embodiment includes (i) a composite formation step for forming the composite 1 including elastic fibers 13 and non-elastic fibers, and (ii) a stretching step for subjecting the formed composite 1 to stretching. Have. FIG. 4 shows a manufacturing apparatus 100 for performing these steps.

  The manufacturing apparatus 100 shown in FIG. 4 is roughly divided into a complex forming unit 20 and a stretching unit 30. The complex forming unit 20 is located on the upstream side in the machine direction MD of the device 100. The extending part 30 is located on the downstream side in the machine direction MD of the apparatus 100 with respect to the complex forming part 20.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the complex forming unit 20 includes a spinning head 21 and a nip roll 22. In the manufacturing apparatus 100, the spinning head 21 further includes a spinning nozzle 211 that is an example of a die. Further, the nip roll 22 has a main roll 221 and a sub roll 222.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the extending portion 30 includes a pair of tooth gap rolls 31, 32, a pair of nip rolls 33, 34 on the upstream side in the machine direction MD of the pair of tooth groove rolls 31, 32, and a pair of tooth gaps. A pair of nip rolls 35 and 36 are provided downstream of the rolls 31 and 32 in the machine direction MD.

  In the present embodiment, in the composite forming step, the composite forming unit 20 of the manufacturing apparatus 100 is used, and a large number of filament-shaped elastic fibers 13 spun from the spinning nozzle 211 are spun at a predetermined speed by the nip roll 22. Take it out and stretch it. Accordingly, before the elastic fibers 13 are solidified using the nip rolls 22, the elastic fibers 13 are arranged in one direction so as not to cross each other. The composite 1 is formed by fusing between 12.

  The complex formation step will be described in detail. The spinning head 21 provided with the spinning nozzle 211 is connected to an extruder. A resin material such as a thermoplastic elastomer is melt-kneaded by the extruder and supplied to the spinning head 21. In the spinning head 21, a large number of spinning nozzles 211 are arranged in a straight line. The spinning nozzle 211 is disposed along the width direction of the first and second sheet base materials 11 and 12. The interval between adjacent spinning nozzles 211 corresponds to the interval between filament-like elastic fibers 13 in the target composite 10.

  The melted filamentary elastic fibers 13 spun from the spinning nozzle 211 merge with the first and second sheet base materials 11 and 12 that are fed from the original fabric at the same speed, and both sheet base materials 11 and 11 are joined together. It is pinched between 12 and taken out at a predetermined speed. The take-up speed of the filament-like elastic fiber 13 coincides with the feeding speed of both the sheet base materials 11 and 12. The take-up speed of the filament-like elastic fiber 13 affects the diameter and the draw ratio of the filament-like elastic fiber 13. That is, until the spun filament-like elastic fiber 13 merges with the first and second sheet base materials 11, 12, the filament-like elastic fiber 13 is stretched and molecules are oriented in the stretching direction. . Also, the diameter is reduced. The tension generated in the filament-like elastic fiber 13 by stretching prevents the filament-like elastic fiber 13 from being disturbed due to wind or static electricity when the filament-like elastic fiber 13 is bonded to both the sheet base materials 11 and 12. To do. Thereby, the filamentous elastic fibers 13 can be arranged in one direction without crossing each other.

  The filament-like elastic fiber 13 merges with the first and second sheet base materials 11 and 12 in a state where it can be fused before solidification. As a result, the filament-like elastic fiber 13 is fused to the sheet base materials 11 and 12 while being sandwiched between the first and second sheet base materials 11 and 12.

  The temperature of the filament-like elastic fiber 13 when the filament-like elastic fiber 13 and the sheet base material 11, 12 are bonded is the thermoplastic elastomer used to ensure the fusion with the sheet base material 11, 12. It is preferable that it is more than melting | fusing point of this resin material, Specifically, it is preferable that it is 100 degreeC or more, More preferably, it is 120 degreeC or more.

  At the time of joining the filament-like elastic fiber 13 and the sheet base materials 11 and 12, the filament-like elastic fiber 13 is substantially in an unstretched state (a state in which the filament-like elastic fiber 13 does not shrink when an external force is removed). Since the filament-like elastic fibers 13 are joined to the sheet bases 11 and 12 in a non-stretched state, the stretchable sheet 10 having stretchability obtained by performing a stretching process described later does not cause relaxation (creep) due to stretching. , Elasticity is difficult to decrease.

  Next, in the composite formation step, the composite 1 is obtained by increasing the nip pressure using the nip roll 22 in the state where the filament-like elastic fibers 13 are sandwiched between the first and second sheet base materials 11 and 12. Form. The peripheral surface of the main roll 221 and the sub roll 222 included in the nip roll 22 is smooth, and is made of, for example, metal or rubber. The sub roll 222 is arranged so that its axis is parallel to the axis of the main roll 221. Note that the nip rolls 22 of the composite body forming unit 20 may be installed in multiple stages.

  Here, the “nip pressure” means that the filament-like elastic fiber 13 is sandwiched between the first and second sheet base materials 11 and 12 by the main roll 221 and each sub-roll. Thus, the pressure acting on the sandwiched state. The nip pressure can be adjusted by the clamping pressure (force for pressing the sub roll 222 against the main roll 221), the clearance between the rolls, the roll surface hardness, the roll surface shape, and the like. Particularly, the nip pressure is adjusted by the clamping pressure and the clearance between the rolls, and the nip pressure increases as the clamping pressure increases and the clearance between the rolls decreases. Among these, the pinching pressure is the point where the bonding strength of the elastic fiber to the non-elastic fiber is within the above range to prevent the elastic fiber from being cut, and the return strength in the stretch property by preventing the elastic fiber from being crushed by the pinching pressure. From the viewpoint of obtaining a high product, it is preferably 0 N / cm or more and 4 N / cm or less, more preferably 2 N / cm or more and 4 N / cm or less in terms of linear pressure. When the clamping pressure is in the above range, the bonding strength between the filament-like elastic fiber 13 and the first and second sheet base materials 11 and 12 may be weakened in the composite 1 manufactured in the composite formation step. it can. The clamping pressure is measured by, for example, a load cell installed in a clearance setting device installed to provide clearance between the main roll and the sub roll.

  The surface temperature of the main roll 221 and the sub roll 222 is preferably adjusted to 10 ° C. or more and 50 ° C. or less, and is adjusted to 15 ° C. or more and 40 ° C. or less from the viewpoint of obtaining the composite 1 having a good texture. Is more preferable.

  As described above, the composite 1 in which the filament-like elastic fiber 13 and the sheet base materials 11 and 12 are bonded together is obtained. The composite 1 is peeled from the peripheral surface of the main roll 221 by being pulled by a pair of nip rolls 33 and 34 described later.

  Next, in the present embodiment, in the stretching process, the formed composite 1 is used in the stretching process by using the stretching section 30 of the manufacturing apparatus 100 along the direction in which the filamentous elastic fibers 13 extend. The composite sheet 1 is stretched by 32 to impart stretchability, and the stretchable sheet 10 having stretchability is formed.

  In the pair of tooth groove rolls 31 and 32, tooth grooves that mesh with each other are alternately formed in the circumferential direction. That is, as shown in FIG. 4, the teeth 311 and 321 are arranged around the tooth gap rolls 31 and 32 so that the rotation axis of the tooth gap rolls 31 and 32 and the direction in which the teeth 311 and 321 extend are parallel to each other. It is provided on the surface. Further, a groove is formed between the tooth 311 and the tooth 311 of the tooth gap roll 31 and between the tooth 321 and the tooth 321 of the tooth groove roll 32. In the meshing portions of the tooth gap rolls 31 and 32, the teeth of the tooth gap rolls are provided so as to mesh with each other.

  In the stretching step, the stretching section needs to be 10 mm or less. That is, as shown in FIG. 5, when the tooth gap rolls 31 and 32 are engaged with each other, the average gap L between the teeth 311 of the adjacent tooth gap roll 31 and the teeth 321 of the tooth gap roll 32 (rotation of the tooth gap roll). The average value of the gap L1 on the front side and the gap L2 on the rear side of the teeth with respect to the direction) is preferably 10 mm or less and preferably 4 mm or less. Here, the average gap L is the distance between the inner surface of the tooth 311 and the inner surface of the tooth 321 facing each other when the tooth gap rolls 31 and 32 mesh with each other. As described above, since the stretching is performed in a very narrow range of 10 mm or less, the composite 1 to be stretched is hardly broken in the stretching process.

As shown in FIG. 5, when the tooth gap rolls 31 and 32 are engaged with each other, the engagement depth D between the teeth 311 of the adjacent tooth gap roll 31 and the teeth 321 of the tooth gap roll 32 is 1 mm or more and 10 mm. The following is preferable.
Further, the pitch P between the teeth 311 of the tooth gap roll 31 and the pitch P between the teeth 321 of the tooth groove roll 32 are 0.4 mm to 7 mm, so that the interval between the formed holes is moderate and the air permeability is high. Is preferable in that it is obtained.

  In the stretching step, the stretching ratio in the stretching section (10 mm or less) is preferably a relatively high ratio of 3 to 10 times, and more preferably 6 to 10 times. The draw ratio is determined by the average gap L (mm) between the tooth 311 of the tooth gap roll 31 and the tooth 321 of the tooth groove roll 32, the engagement depth D (mm), and the peripheral speed V1 (m) of the nip rolls 33 and 34. / Min) and the peripheral speed V2 (m / min) of the tooth gap rolls 31 and 32 are obtained by the following formula (1).

In the stretching step, the stretching ratio (C) in the stretching section (10 mm or less) is 1.5 times or more the maximum elongation (D) of the composite 1 before stretching, and the elastic fibers 13 It is necessary that the maximum elongation (E) or less. That is, the following relational expression (2) needs to be established.

Maximum elongation (E) of elastic fiber 13 ≧ Stretch ratio (C) ≧ Maximum elongation (D) of composite 1 before stretching × 1.5 (2)

By satisfying the above relational expression (2), the first and second sheet base materials 11 and 12 in the composite 1 are easily cut in the stretching step. Therefore, a hole 16 is formed in the stretchable sheet 1 to be manufactured, which opens when the stretchable sheet 1 is stretched and closes when the stretchable sheet 1 is not stretched.

  The draw ratio (C) is 1.5 times or more of the maximum elongation (D) of the composite 1, and is 1.8 times or more of the maximum elongation (D) from the viewpoint of forming the holes 16 in the drawing process. Preferably, it is 2.0 times or more of the maximum elongation (D), and more preferably. Specifically, the maximum elongation (D) of the composite 1 is preferably 1.8 times or more and 4.0 times or less, and in order to make the density of the pores formed by stretching within the aforementioned range, 2. More preferably, it is 0 times or more and 3.5 times or less. Here, the maximum elongation (D) of the composite 1 is measured as follows.

<Measurement method of maximum elongation (D) of composite 1>
When extending in the MD direction (tooth gap), first, a rectangular test piece having a size of 200 mm in the MD direction (X direction) and 50 mm in the CD direction (Y direction) is cut out from the composite 1. Then, the cut specimen is mounted on a tensile testing machine (Autograph AG-1kNIS manufactured by Shimadzu Corporation). The distance between chucks is 150 mm. The test piece is stretched in the MD direction (X direction) at a speed of 300 mm / min, and the load at that time is measured. The maximum elongation (D) of the composite 1 is T2 / when the length of the test piece at the measured maximum point load is (T2) and the length of the original test piece is (T1). It is obtained by T1 (times). A maximum elongation of 2 times equals 100% elongation. When extending in the CD direction, the X direction and the Y direction are interchanged.

  In addition, the draw ratio (C) is equal to or less than the maximum elongation (E) of the elastic fiber 13, and from the viewpoint of forming the holes 16 in the drawing step and not cutting the elastic fiber even at a high draw ratio. The degree (E) is preferably less than 70%, and more preferably less than 60% of the maximum elongation (E). Specifically, the maximum elongation (E) of the elastic fiber 13 is preferably 5 to 12 times, and more preferably 6 to 12 times. Here, the maximum elongation (E) of the elastic fiber 13 is the length of the test piece at the maximum strength measured by the above-described measuring method of the maximum tensile strength of the elastic fiber (T4). When the length of the test piece is (T3), it is obtained by T4 / T3.

  In the stretching step, as described above, it is necessary that the bonding strength (A) between the elastic fiber 13 and the non-elastic fiber is lower than the maximum tensile strength (B) of the elastic fiber 13. By satisfying such requirements, when the composite 1 as a precursor is stretched in the stretching process, the bonding strength between the non-elastic fiber and the elastic fiber is lower than the maximum tensile strength (B), and thus the filamentous The elastic fiber 13 and the first and second sheet base materials 11 and 12 are easily disconnected from each other, and even if a part of the first and second sheet base materials 11 and 12 is cut, the elastic fiber 13 is hardly cut. It has become. Therefore, it becomes easy to form the hole 16 which opens in the expansion | extension state of the elastic sheet 10, and closes in the non-extension | expansion state in the elastic sheet 10 manufactured. Conversely, when the bonding strength (A) between the elastic fiber 13 and the non-elastic fiber is higher than the maximum tensile strength (B) of the elastic fiber 13, the composite 1 as a precursor is stretched in the stretching step. The first and second sheet base materials 11 and 12 are partially cut, and the elastic fiber 13 is easily cut integrally with the sheet base material.

  In the stretching process, the composite 1 manufactured in the composite forming process is pulled using a pair of nip rolls 33 and 34 having a smooth peripheral surface made of metal or rubber, and peeled off from the peripheral surface of the main roll 221. To do. Then, while adjusting the peripheral speed of the pair of nip rolls 33, 34 and the peripheral speed of the tooth groove rolls 31, 32, the composite 1 is extended between the filament elastic fibers 13. The stretch sheet 10 is formed by stretching the composite 1 by stretching with a pair of tooth gap rolls 31 and 32 along the direction. While imparting stretchability and satisfying the above-described conditions in the stretching step, the holes 16 are formed. Next, the elastic sheet 10 having a hole 16 and having elasticity is pulled using a pair of nip rolls 35 and 36 having a smooth peripheral surface made of metal or rubber, and the pair of tooth gap rolls 31 and 32 is pulled. The stretchable sheet 10 having the drawers and the holes 16 and having stretchability is continuously manufactured. Further, by adjusting the peripheral speed of the pair of nip rolls 35 and 36 and the peripheral speed of the pair of tooth gap rolls 31 and 32, further tension can be applied to the stretchable sheet 10.

  In the stretchable sheet 10 manufactured as described above, a plurality of holes 16 are opened in the stretched state shown in FIG. 1A, and the holes 16 are closed in the non-stretched state shown in FIG. . Therefore, the air permeability is improved and the appearance is good. Further, as shown in FIG. 1A, elastic fibers 13 are continuously arranged inside the holes 16 opened in the extended state, and no inelastic fibers are present. Thus, since the elastic member 13 is not cut, the stretchable sheet 10 is excellent in stretchability and has a practically sufficient strength.

Such an elastic sheet 10 is suitably used as a constituent material of each part of various absorbent articles such as disposable diapers and sanitary napkins. For example, elastically expand and contract liquid-permeable sheets (including surface sheets, sublayers, etc.) located on the skin side of the absorbent body, sheets constituting the outer surface of disposable diapers, waist parts, waist parts, leg parts, etc. And a sheet for imparting properties. It can also be used as a sheet or the like for forming a napkin wing. Moreover, even if it is another site | part, it can be used for the site | part etc. which want to provide a stretching property. In addition to this application, it is also suitably used for various applications such as medical disposable clothing, cleaning sheets, eye patches, masks, bandages and the like. The basis weight of the stretchable sheet 10 can be appropriately adjusted according to its specific application. For example, when used as a constituent material of an absorbent article, the basis weight is preferably about 15 to 40 g / m ² .

  As mentioned above, although this invention was demonstrated based on the preferable embodiment, this invention is not restrict | limited to the said embodiment. For example, in the manufacturing apparatus 100 used in the method for manufacturing the stretchable sheet 10 described above, the composite body forming unit 20 and the stretchable applying unit 30 are continuously performed, but may be performed intermittently.

  In the manufacturing apparatus 100 described above, the nip roll 22 of the composite body forming unit 20 includes the main roll 221 and the sub roll 222, but forms one main roll 221 and a plurality of multi-stage nip rolls. You may do it.

  The elastic sheet 10 of the present embodiment described above has a plurality of filament-like elastic fibers 13 and 13 extending in one direction between the first sheet base material 11 and the second sheet base material 12 containing non-elastic fibers. , 13...

Specifically, in the composite formation step, spinning nozzle holes for forming elastic fibers and spinning nozzle holes for forming non-elastic fibers are alternately arranged in a staggered manner, and each spinning nozzle hole is connected to each of the spinning nozzle holes. A composite is formed by hot embossing or the like by using a spunbond method for spinning fibers. Alternatively, using a card machine, after forming a web by mixing elastic fibers and non-elastic fibers made of short fibers, the web is heat-sealed by an air-through method to form a composite, or a high pressure is applied to the web. A composite is formed by a spunlace method in which fibers are entangled by spraying a water stream. Next, as the stretching step, a stretchable sheet in which elastic fibers and inelastic fibers are mixed can be produced by performing a stretching process using a tooth gap roll. As the tooth gap roll, as in the manufacturing apparatus 100 described above, a pair of tooth gap rolls 31 and 32 in which the tooth gaps engaged with each other are alternately arranged in the circumferential direction may be used to perform the stretching process in the MD direction.

You may perform an extending | stretching process.

  An elastic sheet obtained by laminating a layer having elastic fibers and a layer having non-elastic fibers can be produced, for example, through the following composite formation step and stretching step. Specifically, in the composite forming step, a non-elastic fiber web including non-elastic fibers made of short fibers is formed using a card machine, and the short elastic fibers are made on the non-elastic fiber web using a card machine. An elastic fiber web containing elastic fibers is formed, and a non-elastic fiber web containing non-elastic fibers made of short fibers is formed on the elastic fiber web using a card machine to form a three-layer web. Thereafter, the three-layer web is heat-sealed by an air-through method to form a composite, or a high-pressure water stream is blown onto the three-layer web to entangle the fibers to form a composite. Next, as a stretching step, a stretchable sheet in which a layer having elastic fibers and a layer having non-elastic fibers is laminated can be manufactured by performing a stretching process using a tooth gap roll. As the tooth gap roll, as in the manufacturing apparatus 100 described above, a pair of tooth gap rolls 31 and 32 in which the tooth gaps engaged with each other are alternately arranged in the circumferential direction may be used to perform the stretching process in the MD direction.
