Claim Text:
1. A fluid discharging device configured to discharge fluid from a plurality of nozzles towards a continuous sheet member which is continuously transported in a transporting direction, the nozzles being arranged in a width direction of the continuous sheet member for an absorbent article, said fluid discharging device comprising: a head having the plurality of nozzles and a plurality of valves corresponding to the plurality of nozzles, said plurality of valves being configured to intermittently discharge the fluid in a predetermined pattern on the continuous sheet member from the plurality of nozzles by opening and closing operations; a controller coupled to the head; a control panel coupled to the controller; and an encoder coupled to the controller, wherein the head has a supply path and a flow path downstream of the supply path, the head is configured to receive the fluid from the supply path, the flow path is divided into branch paths corresponding to the respective nozzles and the respective valves, the control panel is configured to input a displacement conversion value Ya for all of the plurality of valves, the controller is configured to wherein the controller is configured to cause the predetermined pattern of the discharged fluid to be displaced by a length δa while maintaining a shape of the predetermined pattern, the length δa being defined by a formula δa=Ya/Nd, where Nd is a number of digital values which the encoder is configured to output during a period in which the continuous sheet member is transported by an amount corresponding to a product pitch.
