DEVICE FOR PRODUCING DISPOSABLE WEARABLE ARTICLE AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING DISPOSABLE WEARABLE ARTICLE

摘要

Provided are a device for producing a disposable wearable article and a method for producing a disposable wearable article capable of suppressing the occurrence of a sealing failure by making it difficult for a doubled sheet to open against an elastic force of an absorber. A device for producing a disposable wearable article includes a jointing/cutting unit (60) provided in a line (L1) for continuously conveying a sheet (W) and configured to join parts of the doubled sheet (W) at opposite sides of an absorber (C) and then cut the joined parts and a pressing unit (70) arranged upstream of the jointing/cutting unit (60) in a conveying direction (a). The pressing unit (70) includes a pressing mechanism (71, 72) configured to press the sheet (W) together with the absorber (C) in a thickness direction.

1. A device for producing a disposable wearable article, comprising:
a doubling unit provided in a line for continuously conveying a sheet and configured to double the sheet together with an absorber such that opposite side edges of the sheet having the absorber arranged thereon are proximate to or overlapped with each other; a joining/cutting unit provided in the line and configured to join parts of the doubled sheet at opposite sides of the absorber and then cut the joined part; and a pressing unit arranged upstream of the joining/cutting unit in a sheet conveying direction, the pressing unit including a pressing mechanism configured to press the doubled sheet together with the absorber in a thickness direction.
