A web splicing apparatus is disclosed that includes a web unwinding unit configured to hold a running web material roll and a new web material roll and to unwind webbing from the running web material roll and a web splicing unit operable with the web unwinding unit to selectively splice the webbing of the running web material roll with webbing of the new web material roll. The web splicing unit further includes a cutting assembly configured to selectively sever the webbing of the running web material roll, a web deflection device, an actuator system configured to linearly translate the web deflection device in a first direction and a second direction opposite the first direction, and a locking mechanism operable in a locked state and an unlocked state to selectively prohibit and enable movement of the web deflection device in the first direction and the second direction.

Apparatus and method for splicing material rolls

Apparatus and methods are provided to minimize waste and improve quality and production in web processing operations. A first non-elastomeric layer is bonded with an elastomeric layer, and to a second non-elastomeric layer. The apparatus and methods provide defect detection in the elastomeric layer and triggers an unthreading/rethreading sequence. Web defect detection may be provided by way of at least one visual inspection station. If defects are detected in the elastic layer, the resulting products may be culled.

This invention generally relates to an activity wipe dispenser and multi-pack arrangement for use during a variety of different activities; and, more particularly, to an activity wipe dispenser adapted for attachment to different articles and for storage of used wipes as well as to a multi-pack arrangement comprising a plurality of activity wipe dispensers each having different and complementary active components particularly useful in connection with different aspects of a specific activity.

Activity wipe dispenser and multi-pack arrangement

A method is provided for continuous mass production of winged absorbent articles, including T-shaped absorbent articles, by attachment of wing portions to the chassis of the absorbent article which comprises a topsheet, a backsheet and a core sandwiched between the topsheet and the backsheet. The method comprises feeding at least one web of wing-making material, which may be at least partly elasticated, simultaneously attaching landing zones in spaced apart relationship on a surface of the web, attaching tape tabs on the edge of the web, folding the web longitudinally in a generally Z-fold configuration, feeding the chassis of the absorbent article in the general direction of the web, severing individual folded wing portions from said web and attaching the winged portions to the chassis at predetermined spaced intervals.
