<p>Adhesive ostomy pouch (B) connecting rings (C) with radially extending gripping portions (24) are formed and stacked in angularly offset relation on a plurality of ostomy faceplates (A) in a highly automated fashion. In use, the faceplates adhere to the body of the pouch wearer. Sets of rings are die cut from a continuous adhesive coated sheet. Each set includes a plurality of spaced, identically oriented rings, in an arcuate pattern across the sheet. The sheet is intermittently advanced to bring the sets, one at a time, into alignment with faceplates located on a round platform (E). The platform is indexed to move the faceplates stepwise through a path coincident with the pattern of the ring sets. Each time the platform is indexed, a set of rings is removed from the sheet and the rings are placed on the respective faceplates, each in proper angular relation with the previous rings. Faceplates with a full complement of rings are removed from the platform.</p> |
