DEVICE FOR MANUFACTURING ABSORPTION STRUCTURE

摘要

An apparatus for manufacturing bodily exudates absorbent structures improved so that absorbent discrete materials may be fed to target regions and can be prevented from being fed to the other regions. The apparatus for manufacturing bodily exudates absorbent structures 1 comprises a rotating drum 40 serving to convey a first continuous sheet 20, feeding means 50, second conveying means 60 serving to convey a second continuous sheet 30 and sealing means 70 adapted to join the first continuous sheet 20 and the second continuous sheet 30 to each other. The rotating drum 40 is formed on its peripheral surface with a plurality of depressions 43, leaving a non-depressed peripheral surface segment 41. Each of the depressions 43 is formed in a central region with a central through-hole 45 extending through each depression 43 from an outer surface 40a to an inner surface 40b of the rotating drum 40. Within the rotating drum 40, suction means is installed to provide a suction effect directed from the outer surface 40a toward the inner surface 40b of the rotating drum 40 so that the first continuous sheet 20 may be formed with a first concave region having been deformed along each depression 43 and a second concave region having been deformed toward the central through-hole 45.
