Patent ID: 7587966

Claim:
A web processing device, comprising a plurality of pads revolving around a first axis, a cutter for cutting a continuous web, and a plurality of anvils for receiving the cutter, wherein: the pads receive the continuous web; the cutter cuts the continuous web into a cut-off web together with the anvil positioned at a first relative level with respect to a surface of the pad adjacent to the anvil such that the anvil is brought into contact with the cutter; the pad revolves around the first axis while changing an attitude of the pad by turning about a line extending from the first axis toward the pad, thereby carrying the cut-off web while changing an attitude of the cut-off web; and when the pad changes its attitude, the anvil moves to a second relative level, different from the first relative level, with respect to the surface of the pad adjacent to the anvil so as not to hinder the pad changing its attitude.
