A device for manufacturing a layered material including an elastic thread sandwiched between a pair of sheets, including: a pair of nip rolls arranged with their axes parallel to each other for nipping the elastic thread between the pair of sheets being conveyed in a conveyance direction; a needle arranged upstream of the nip roll in the conveyance direction for guiding and arranging the elastic thread between the pair of sheets while dispensing the elastic thread through a through hole, through which the elastic thread passes; a needle body that holds the needle; a reciprocating section, to which the needle body is attached, for reciprocating in a width direction, which intersects with the conveyance direction; and a stabilizer that stabilizes the reciprocation of the reciprocating section, wherein the stabilizer is a non-contact-type guide.

Apparatus and method for manufacturing laminate

The present cuff manufacturing method includes: a step of sandwiching at least two continuous elastic members F between a first sheet and a second sheet; a step of thermally-bonding together the first sheet and the second sheet intermittently in the longitudinal direction to form thermally-bonded portions, thereby fixing the continuous elastic members, thus forming a laminate; a slit step of slitting the laminate along the longitudinal direction, thereby obtaining a pair of cuff members; a step of conveying the pair of cuff members so that a pair of edges, which have been produced by the slitting in the pair of cuff members, are spaced apart from each other; and a step of arranging the pair of cuff members on opposite edge portions of a crotch portion of a worn article, thereby forming cuffs.

Method for producing cuffs for wearable article

A folding device for a disposable hygiene article includes: a first conveying portion along a first path; a second conveying portion along a second path extending in a direction intersecting with the first path; a folding mechanism to fold the disposable hygiene article between the first and second conveying portions; a driving mechanism connected to the folding component, to drive the folding component by performing reciprocating linear motion along the direction of the second path between a folding and retracted positions; and a guiding mechanism in an extension direction of the first path or by using the first path as a reference, a front end portion of the article to an opposite side of the second conveying portion. The driving mechanism includes at least one pulley directly connected to a servo motor and a synchronous belt wrapped around the outer circumference of the pulleys in a looping path.

Folding device for disposable hygiene article

A conveyance device is capable of preventing a remaining portion of a cut sheet from being caught in a conveyance path. A sheet supply device includes an urging mechanism capable of switching between a supply state of applying force in a direction away from a pressing position to an upstream part, in a conveyance direction, of a cut position of a sheet of a supply side roll, the cut position being cut by a cutter, and a stopped state of stopping application of the force, and a controller configured to switch the urging mechanism from the stopped state to the supply state in accordance with a timing when the sheet is cut by the cutter.

Sheet supply device and sheet supply method

In order to manufacture a wearable article of the first size, the introduction velocity is set to the first introduction velocity having a high velocity and the arrangement velocity is set to the first the arrangement velocity having a high velocity. In order to manufacture wearable article of the second size having a shorter length in the carrying direction than that of the first size, the introduction velocity is set to the second introduction velocity lower than the first introduction velocity and the arrangement velocity is set to the second arrangement velocity lower than the first the arrangement velocity and the drum velocity is set to a fixed velocity regardless of the size.

Manufacturing method and manufacturing apparatus for disposable wearable article

Provided is a sheet supply device capable of reliably joining sheets by accurately transmitting force for joining the sheets. A joining mechanism includes a pressing roller that presses a sheet of a supply side roll against the outer peripheral surface of a standby side roll; and a moving unit that supports the pressing roller such that the pressing roller is configured to approach and move away from the standby side roll supported by a support shaft disposed at a splice position in the radial direction of the standby side roll. The moving unit supports the pressing roller such that the center of the pressing roller is movable on a straight line passing through the center of a rotation shaft and the center of the support shaft disposed at the splice position.

A continuous body folding device includes a conveying part having a moving surface that moves while suctioning and holding a first region of a continuous body, the conveying part conveying the continuous body in the longitudinal direction thereof; a first folding reference part in which a first endless belt, which moves in a first circulatory pathway along a first virtual plane including the moving surface, moves along a first reference segment adjacent to a virtual line of the continuous body in the same direction at the same speed as the moving surface; and first guiding members that are disposed along the first reference segment, contact a second region of the continuous body, and fold the continuous body along the virtual line and move the second region toward the first region so that the angle formed by the first and second regions becomes smaller as the continuous body is conveyed downstream.

Continuous body folding device and folding method

Provided is an exposure-preventing cap of a novel and simple structure that, by being mounted on a vial, can more reliably inhibit leaking of drug solution to an outside when pulling out and collecting drug solution in a syringe from the vial. An exposure-preventing cap, which is mounted on a mouth of a vial sealed with a rubber stopper, wherein a puncturing hole is formed in a center part of a cap-shaped housing that is attached to a mouth of the vial, and a rubber membrane is arranged at the puncturing hole so as to form an internal space between facing surfaces of the rubber membrane and the rubber stopper. The rubber membrane has a dome shape that is convex facing the rubber stopper.

Exposure-preventing cap

A plug for a container capable of improving air-tightness and liquid-tightness is provided. A plug includes a first split piece having a cylindrical first fitting portion to be mounted on an opening portion of a container body and fitted to an opening portion space of the opening portion, an end wall which blocks one end of the first fitting portion, and a first flange portion extending outwardly in a radial direction of the first fitting portion from the other end thereof; and a second split piece having a second fitting portion which is fitted to the first fitting portion of the first split piece and forms a closed space between the end wall and the second fitting portion and a second flange portion extending outwardly in a radial direction of the second fitting portion therefrom.
