The invention relates to a method for applying flat material web sections () to a first flat web of material () which is displaced in the direction of the machine having a first web speed during the production of hygiene articles or medical articles. The dimensions of the flat material web sections (), in the direction of the machine, are smaller than the measurements of the articles which are to be produced. The flat material web sections () of an endless web () are separated in the cut-and-place method and are arranged on the first flat material web (). The endless web () is fed at a second web speed to a second cutting station in the direction of a cutting roller (). According to the inventive method, a front section () of the endless web () is applied against a surface section () of an anvil roller () which co-operates with the cutting roller (), the surface section being curved less than the periphery () of the anvil roller (). The front section () is cut in the endless web () in order to form the flat material web section () and each cut flat material web sections () is accelerated in a slip-free manner by the anvil roller ().

Method and device for applying a flat material web section

The invention relates to a folded medical cover () for use in operation rooms, especially for instrument tables () or operation tables or for the extremities of a patient. The cover comprises a tubular section () with at least one first open end () for putting the cover onto the table () or the extremity, and has a second, preferably closed end (). The tubular section () is folded at least once transverse to its longitudinal direction () and the second end () functions as a stop () when the cover is pulled over the table or the extremity. The aim of the invention is to simplify handling of such a cover. Towards this end, an intermediate section (), disposed in the longitudinal direction () between an end section () forming the second end () and the first open end () is turned inwards into the tubular section () in such a manner that the table () or the extremity can be inserted in the opening () formed by the inwardly turned intermediate section () and that, when the cover () is put on the table () or the extremity, the intermediate section () which is turned inward can be unfolded when the table () or the extremity rests against the second end () as the cover is being drawn on.
