Apparatus for layered flanged fibrous pad formation

摘要

The apparatus and method of the present application permits formation of a flanged product with the wider flanged portion in engagement with a foraminous transporting means. The apparatus uses a mold-like former having a narrower or smaller portion separated from the foraminous surface by a wider flange forming portion. The flange forming portion is adjacent to the foraminous surface and is separated from the foraminous surface after pad formation leaving the formed pad behind.
