Method and device for producing disposable worn article
First Claim
1. A method for producing a disposable worn article, in which a pair of panels are fastened to a body portion at the same position in a longitudinal direction thereof and in left and right opposite side portions in a girth direction thereof, the method comprising:
- a severing step of successively severing tip portions of a continuous web in a flow direction, the continuous web being continuous in the flow direction, along a virtual severing line extending in a width direction perpendicular to the flow direction, thereby successively producing a plurality of panels;
an interval-increasing step of increasing an interval in the width direction between a pair of panels, adjacent to each other in the flow direction, of the plurality of panels;
a receiving step of receiving the panels by first and second rollers at first and second receiving positions, which are separated from each other in the flow direction, wherein the first and second rollers are placed so that a first axial line of the first roller for receiving and holding one of the pair of panels separated from each other in the width direction and a second axial line of the second roller for receiving and holding the other one of the pair of panel'"'"'s are placed offset from each other in the flow direction of the panels; and
a placement step of placing the panels, from the first and second rollers at first and second hand-over positions which are separated from each other in the flow direction, onto the opposite side portions of the body portion at the same position in the longitudinal direction of the body portion.

Abstract
A method includes: a severing step of successively producing a plurality of panels from a continuous web; an interval-increasing step of increasing an interval in width direction between a pair of panels, adjacent to each other in flow direction; a receiving step of receiving the panels by first and second rollers at first and second receiving positions, which are separated from each other in flow direction, wherein the first and second rollers for receiving the panels are placed so that axial lines of the first and second rollers are placed offset from each other in flow direction of the panels; and a placement step for placing the panels, from the rollers at first and second hand-over positions which are separated from each other in flow direction, onto opposite side portions of a body portion at the same position in the longitudinal direction of the body portion.

4. A device for producing a disposable worn article, in which a pair of panels are fastened to a body portion at the same position in a longitudinal direction thereof and in left and right opposite side portions in a girth direction thereof, the device comprising:
-
a cutter for successively severing tip portions of a continuous web in a flow direction, the continuous web being continuous in the flow direction, along a virtual severing line extending in a width direction perpendicular to the flow direction, thereby successively producing a plurality of panels; an interval-increasing drum for increasing an interval in the width direction between a pair of panels, adjacent to each other in the flow direction, of the plurality of panels; and a phase wheel for receiving the panels by first and second rollers at first and second receiving positions, which are separated from each other in the flow direction, wherein the first and second rollers are placed so that a first axial line of the first roller for receiving and holding one of the pair of panels separated from each other in the width direction and a second axial line of the second roller for receiving and holding the other one of the pair of panels are placed offset from each other in the flow direction of the panels, and for placing the panels, from the first and second rollers at first and second hand-over positions which are separated from each other in the flow direction, onto the opposite side portions of the body portion at the same position in the longitudinal direction of the body portion. - View Dependent Claims (5, 6, 7, 8)
