Abstract

L'invention concerne une feuille de matériau absorbant (59) ayant des bords latéraux de feuille opposés espacés l'un de l'autre pour définir une largeur globale de la feuille absorbante, la feuille de matériau absorbant comportant des zones de faiblesse espacées le long de la feuille de matériau absorbant selon le sens machine (MD), chaque zone de faiblesse s'étendant de manière sensiblement transversale audit sens machine (MD), chaque zone de faiblesse définissant deux parties de feuille absorbante individuelles adjacentes (19), chaque zone de faiblesse étant une ligne de déchirure (50A, 51A, 52A). La ligne de déchirure (50A, 51A, 52A) comprend deux régions latérales (56) et une région centrale (55), une première région latérale partant de l'un des bords latéraux de la feuille en direction de la région centrale, une seconde région latérale partant de l'autre bord latéral de la feuille en direction de la région centrale, la région centrale (55) comprenant une alternance de segments perforés (60, 62, 64, 66, 68) et de segments non perforés (61, 63, 65, 67, 69). Les régions latérales (56) sont non perforées de manière à constituer des zones de fixation à l'intérieur de la ligne de déchirure (50A, 51A, 52A) entre deux parties de feuille absorbante individuelles adjacentes (19).
