[Title <strong>of</strong> the Invention ]<br />

Super-absorbent rayon Non-woven fabric and material <strong>for</strong> a blanket bath<br />

[Claims]<br />

1. A non-woven fabric, wherein one <strong>of</strong> its fiber matters is a super-absorbent viscose rayon fiber<br />

created by adding sodium carbonate to viscose and spinning thread.<br />

2. A material <strong>for</strong> a blanket bath, which is manufactured by soaking the non-woven fabric<br />

described in Claim (1) in a clean liquid.<br />

[Excerpt <strong>of</strong> Detailed Description <strong>of</strong> the Invention]<br />

This invention relates to a high liquid-retention, non-woven fabric, manufactured by using<br />

the super-absorbent viscose rayon fiber and adding sodium carbonate to viscose, with a towel<br />

manufactured from the non-woven fabric, and a material <strong>for</strong> a blanket bath (e.g. a wet napkin)<br />

which is soaked in a clean liquid. Although the non-woven fabric made from a regular viscose<br />

rayon fiber has been manufactured <strong>for</strong> a long time and has been used <strong>for</strong> making towels, etc., it<br />

had the disadvantage <strong>of</strong> not showing the effect <strong>of</strong> cleaning sufficiently. This is because water and<br />

a depurant, which are soaked into the non-woven fabric, are apt to vaporize.<br />

[Explanation]<br />

Though the technical field <strong>of</strong> the specified invention (Claim 1) is “a super-absorbent viscose<br />

rayon non-woven fabric” and that <strong>of</strong> the related invention (Claim 2) is “a material <strong>for</strong> a blanket<br />

bath”, it is highly appropriate that the technology <strong>of</strong> manufacturing a super-absorbent rayon<br />

non-woven fabric is applied to the technical field <strong>of</strong> a material <strong>for</strong> a blanket bath. There<strong>for</strong>e the<br />

technical fields <strong>of</strong> both inventions are technically and directly associated with each other and<br />

their industrial fields <strong>of</strong> application are the same.<br />

On the other hand, the super-absorbent rayon non-woven fabric, which is a new matter<br />

corresponding to the problem to be solved <strong>of</strong> the specified invention, is equivalent to the<br />

substantial part <strong>of</strong> the matter in the claim <strong>of</strong> the related invention, and there<strong>for</strong>e the substantial<br />

parts <strong>of</strong> matters in the claims <strong>of</strong> the two inventions are the same.<br />
