It is possible to prevent the flap 30 from being turned over during conveyance on the main body line after being joined onto the continuous body 120a of the rear waistline member.
- each member for example, the crotch member 10
- a stable conveyance state can be realized.
- the absorbent article can be manufactured without performing a complicated process.
- the width L1 of the flap 30 in the direction intersecting the center line C is shorter than the predetermined length interval L2, the flap 30 due to cutting deviation in the main body line. The cutting of both edge portions 50a and 50b can be prevented.
- the end of the front waistline member continuum 120b It is possible to easily fold and overlap the end portion of the continuous portion 120a and the rear waistline member. For this reason, the continuous body 120b of the front waistline member and the continuous body 120a of the back waistline member which were piled up can be cut
- an absorbent article having a pair of side flaps protruding from the absorbent body can be manufactured without being restricted by the product form.
- FIG. 9 is a perspective view showing a cutting arrangement mechanism 250 according to the second embodiment.

- the flap 30 is adhere
- the flap 30 is arrange
- the flap line is arranged along the CD direction of the main body line (see FIG. 9). That is, the flap 30 is bonded onto the continuous body 120a of the rear waistline member so as to be orthogonal to the MD direction of the main body line on the flap line (step S24 and step S33).
- the manufacturing apparatus for absorbent articles according to the second embodiment includes a cutting arrangement mechanism 250 instead of the cutting rotation mechanism 240 described in the first embodiment. Note that, in the absorbent article manufacturing apparatus according to the second embodiment, the devices other than the cutting rotation mechanism 240 (that is, the engaging member arrangement mechanism 210, the edge folding mechanism 220, and the cutoff line forming mechanism 230) are the same. .
- the cutting arrangement mechanism 250 forms the flap 30 by cutting the flap continuum 130 at predetermined intervals. Moreover, the cutting
- the cutting arrangement mechanism 250 cuts the flap continuum 130 carried by the endless belt 251 at predetermined intervals, and affixes the continuum 120a on the rear waistline member with a thermoplastic resin or the like.
- the cutting arrangement mechanism 250 has an upper blade roll 253 that rotates about the shaft core 252 and a lower blade roll 255 that rotates about the shaft core 254.
- the upper blade roll 253 is provided with a plurality of blades 253A disposed on the outer periphery of the upper blade roll 253 at predetermined intervals and substantially parallel to the shaft core 252.
- the lower blade roll 255 has a suction hole 255A for sucking the flap 30 formed by cutting the flap continuum 130 and a receiving blade (not shown) for cutting the flap continuum 130 with the blade 253A. ) And are provided.
- a first zone Z1 in which the flap continuum 130 is adhered with a predetermined adhesion force, and a flap 30 formed by cutting the flap continuum 130 is provided in the first zone Z1.
- a second zone Z2 that adheres with stronger adhesion.
- the flap continuum 130 passes through the first zone Z1
- the flap continuum 130 slips on the peripheral surface of the lower blade roll 255 by the suction hole 255A formed in the first zone Z1 while slipping the peripheral surface of the lower blade roll 255. Adsorb.
- the flap 30 is formed by cutting the flap continuum 130 between the blade 253A and the receiving blade.
- the flap 30 When the flap 30 passes through the second zone Z2, the flap 30 adheres to the peripheral surface of the lower blade roll 255 by the suction hole 255A formed in the second zone Z2 without slipping the peripheral surface of the lower blade roll 255. . Then, the flap 30 approaches the continuous body 120a of the rear waistline member by the rotation of the lower blade roll 255, and is attached to the continuous body 120a of the rear waistline member.
- the same functions and effects as those of the first embodiment described above can be obtained.
- the cutting arrangement mechanism 250 is less complicated in configuration than the cutting rotation mechanism 240 that rotates the flap 30 90 degrees and flips it up and down, so that the cost of equipment can be reduced.
- the embodiment of the present invention can be modified as follows. Specifically, an example in which the flap 30 in which the engaging members 40a and 40b that can be engaged with a predetermined region of the front waistline member 20b are disposed is disposed on the continuous body 120a of the rear waistline member 20a.
- the present invention is not limited to such an example, and the flap 30 in which the engaging members 40a and 40b that can be engaged with a predetermined region of the rear waistline member 20a are disposed is used as the front waistline member.
- the present invention can also be applied to an example configured to be arranged on the continuous body 120a of 20b.
- the order described in the method for manufacturing an absorbent article is not particularly limited, as long as the absorbent article can be manufactured, and can be appropriately selected according to the purpose.
- the diaper manufactured by the method of manufacturing an absorbent article can be used as a tape-type diaper by unfolding the flap 30 if the cuttable line (sewing surface) is cut. If the perforation is not cut, the pad-type diaper can be used. Can be used as a diaper. Therefore, both can be properly used according to the purpose of the user.
- the manufacturing method of the absorbent article which can make the joint strength in the joining area
