Problems solved by technology

[0003] Suturing the extraction cord to the absorbent strip of the plug has proven disadvantageous
Because the sewing machine is limited due to the achievable sewing speed, it is not possible to exceed the sewing machine speed to improve the production process of the plug production, nor to achieve short production times

Embodiment Construction

[0021] exist figure 1 1 shows first the production of a continuous material 5 from which absorbent strips 2 are cut out according to subsequent production steps in order to produce plugs 1 for insertion into plug dispensers. The continuous material 5 consists of a band 2a of liquid-absorbent fibres, or batting, and a sheath 2b surrounding the band. The fleece strip 2a has an approximately polygonal or elliptical cross-section, while the wrapping 2b is a relatively thin, liquid-permeable sheet or film. The encapsulation of the fiber strip or wool strip 2 a is effected by the relative movement of the wool strip 2 a and the film 2 b relative to the two contact jaws 14 , 15 . The wrapping 2b is similar to the tin foil of a kind of rubber candy bar wrapped around the wool wadding band 2a like this.

[0022] In the next production step, the continuous material 5 prepared in this way is fed to one or possibly several cutting knives 13 , which cut absorbent strips 2 from the continu...

Abstract

Disclosed is a tampon comprising an insertion end and a rear end, a pressed absorbent strip (2), and a withdrawal string (3) that is guided out of the rear end. In order to obtain short tampon production times, the withdrawal string (3) is guided around the strip (2) in the form of a loop (4), the strip (2) being provided with a fold (16, 17) on each side of the loop (4). Also disclosed is a method that is suitable for producing a tampon and encompasses the following steps: a) the absorbent strip (2) is cut to size; b) a withdrawal string (3) is placed in the form of a loop (4) that is put around the strip (2); c) the strip (2) is pressed between jaws (7) that can be moved towards each other such that a fold (16, 17) is formed in the strip (2) on each side of the loop (4).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a plug having an introduction end and a rear end, said plug comprising a compressed absorbent strip and a withdrawal cord leading from the rear end. Furthermore, the invention relates to a method for producing a strip comprising an absorbent cord connected to a drawer. Background technique [0002] In today's so-called feeder-plugs, the actual plug is located in a sleeve and is fed by moving a plunger (Stempel), the extraction string required for later removal of the used plug is fixed to the absorbent part of the plug by sutures. capacity material. In the manufacture of the plug, an absorbent strip is used as the starting material on which the withdrawal string is sutured. In a subsequent step, the plug is formed under pressure from the initial strip to its roughly cylindrical final shape. [0003] Suturing the extraction cord to the absorbent strip of the plug has proven to be disadvantageous. Since the sewing mac...
