PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a new stretchable sheet which has water absorbability (hygroscopicity) required as the entire sheet material and also has practical expansion and contraction flexibility at the same time.SOLUTION: On one surface side of a sheet material which itself has prescribed stretchability and air permeability, sheet-like non-stretchable and water absorbing members by water absorbing polymer or the like divided into prescribed sizes and shapes are arranged so as not to overlap with each other and fixed. By the stretchability of the stretchable sheet material occupying the cutting gap part of the non-stretchable and water absorbing members adjacent to each other, the stretchability required as the entire sheet material is maintained.COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT【課題】 シート材料全体として必要とされる吸水性(吸湿性)を備えながら、同時に実用的な伸縮自在性をも備えた新しい伸縮性シートを提供すること。【解決手段】 それ自体に所定の伸縮性と通気性を持ったシート材料の一面側に所定サイズ及び形状に分割した吸水性ポリマーなどによるシート状の非伸縮性且つ吸水性部材を相互に重なり合わないように並べて固定し、隣接する非伸縮性且つ吸水性部材同士の切断隙間部を占める伸縮性シート材料の伸縮性によってシート材料全体として必要とする伸縮性を維持させる。【選択図】図1
