PCT No. PCT/DE81/00232 Sec. 371 Date Aug. 13, 1982 Sec. 102(e) Date Aug. 13, 1982 PCT Filed Dec. 21, 1981 PCT Pub. No. WO82/02336 PCT Pub. Date Jul. 22, 1982.An apparatus for compressing a blank into a compressed tampon is provided. In the direction of its central axis, the apparatus comprises in succession a push rod, a transmitting device, a tampon press and an ejector mandrel. The carrier jaws of the transmitting device are concentrically movable with respect to the axis and have a closed passage channel whose cross-section is suitable for the blank or the pressed tampon. The cross-section of the push rod is notably smaller than the passage opening provided in the open portion of the carrier jaws for the tampon blank. The carrier jaws have in the direction of the axis, a width corresponding to at least the length of the blank. The tampon press has pressing jaws which are radially movable with respect to the axis between a receiving position of the tampon blank and a pressed position. The ejector mandrel serves to eject the tampon out of the tampon press back into the transmitting device and against the push rod. |
