A method for manufacturing a wearable article includes: superposing first and second parts of a continuous material on each other; winding the continuous material around a rotary drum and conveying the continuous material; moving a movable part of a sealer unit outward and homeward in a cross direction crossing a conveyance direction, while the continuous material is conveyed, to form linear sealing areas and joining the first part and the second part through the formed linear sealing areas; and after the superposing and before the joining, inhibiting a movement of the first part and the second part relative to each other by temporary fastening at a place at which the first part and the second part are to be joined together.

Method for manufacturing wearable article

A conveying method includes first and second pads conveying workpieces with speeds of the first and second pads being varied; circumferential velocities of the first pads and the second pads are accelerated by variable speed mechanisms; the first and second pads move and separate in a state in which a distance between the first pad and the second pad, whose speeds were increased, is increased; the circumferential velocities of the first pads and the second pads are decelerated by the variable speed mechanisms; and a first slider and a second slider, which were subjected to deceleration, overlap each other in a part in a circumferential direction, which causes the first pad and the second pad to approach each other, and the first pad and the second pad move and approach each other in this state in which the first pad and the second pad have approached each other.
