METHOD FOR ASSEMBLING A MULTI-PIECE ABSORBENT ARTICLE

摘要

A method for assembling a multi-piece absorbent article. A chassis (22) is fed to a first assembly station at a first velocity. An ear web (122) is fed to a second assembly station at a second velocity which is less than the first velocity. An adhesive tape substrate (126) is fed to the second assembly station at a third velocity which is less than the second velocity. The adhesive tape substrate (126) is cut into individual tape tabs. The individual tape tabs are bonded to the ear web (122) at the second assembly station. The ear web (122) having the individual tape tabs bonded thereto is then fed to the first assembly station where it is cut into individual ear pieces which are then bonded to the chassis (22) to form a multi-piece absorbent article.
