Embodiment Construction

[0057] As used in this specification and claims, the term "body fluids" and variants thereof refer to bodily exudates, especially fluids produced, secreted, emitted and / or expelled by the human body.

[0058] As used in this specification and claims, the term "fluid" and variants thereof relate to liquids, especially bodily fluids.

[0059] As used in this specification and claims, the term "flake" and variations thereof refer to a portion of something which is thin in thickness compared to its length and width.

[0060] As used in this specification and claims, the term "parallel plate" and variants thereof refer to a system of at least two opposing parallel sheets capable of moving fluid by capillary action between the plates. Individual "boards" within the system may be flexible and / or resilient to move between their environments. They may, however, maintain a generally facing relationship (compared to their corresponding length and width) at a relatively constant spacing ...

Abstract

An apparatus for producing an absorbent article includes a holding tool, a female tool disposed along a machine axis, and a male tool disposed along the machine axis. The holding tool has an aperture aligned along the machine axis and means for holding a flexible sheet across the aperture. The female tool has at least one folding element extending in a direction radially away from the machine axis, and the male tool has means for holding a fluid storage element and at least one pleating blade extending in a direction radially away from the machine axis. At least two of the holding tool, female tool, and male tool are capable of relative motion along the machine axis. Further the at least one pleating blade and of the male tool and the at least one folding element of the female tool are aligned to permit manipulation of the flexible sheet about the fluid storage element.
