Abstract
There is disclosed an absorbent article including: a liquid absorbing member having an absorbent core; a support body positioned on the lower side of the liquid absorbing member; and an elastic member for supporting the liquid absorbing member. The elastic member extends in the longitudinal direction of the absorbent article and is fixed at its front and rear end portions on the support body. The elastic member is positioned at the widthwise central portion of the absorbent article. The support body is bent in the longitudinal direction by the tension of the elastic member, and the liquid absorbing member is deformed to bulge at its widthwise central portion away from the support body by the central elastic member.
Claims11
An absorbent article comprising:
- a liquid absorbing member including an absorbent core and a liquid-permeable sheet covering a liquid-receiving side of said absorbent core;
- a support body positioned on a lower side of said liquid absorbing member;
- and
- at least three elastic members for supporting said liquid absorbing member, each extending in a longitudinal direction of said absorbent article and being fixed at its front and rear end portions on said support body, one of said three elastic members being positioned at a widthwise central portion of said absorbent article, and
- wherein the front and rear fixed portions between said central elastic member and said support body are positioned longitudinally outwardly of those between remaining elastic members and said support body,
- whereby said support body is bent in the longitudinal direction by tensions of said elastic members, and said liquid absorbing member is deformed to bulge at its widthwise central portion away from said support body by said central elastic member.
An absorbent article comprising:
- a support body;
- an absorbent core positioned on the liquid-receiving side of said support body;
- an elastic member for supporting a widthwise central portion of said absorbent core, the elastic member extending in a longitudinal direction of said absorbent article having front and rear end portions which are fixed on said support body;
- and
- a liquid-permeable sheet covering said absorbent core and extended outwardly of said absorbent core in a widthwise direction, extended portions of which are attached to said support body directly or through an auxiliary sheet rising from said support body,
- whereby said support body is bent in the longitudinal direction by a tension of said elastic member, and said absorbent core is deformed to bulge at its widthwise central portion away from said support body by said elastic member.
