Abstract:
A method of transporting single-cut sheets cut from a continuous sheet for absorbent articles includes transporting the sheets by bonding an upstream end of each sheet to an outer surface of a first rotating body by adhesive; and transporting the sheets by holding the sheets on an outer surface of a second rotating body rotating faster than the first body, the sheets being transported from the first body in a state in which the upstream end of each sheet is on the first body, a portion of each sheet on the second body sliding relative to the outer surface of the second body such that each sheet is transported at the peripheral speed of the first body, after the adhesive is separated and the upstream end moves to the second body, the second body transporting the sheets at the peripheral speed of the second body.

Claim (Index 1):
A transport method of a single-cut sheet associated with an absorbent article, the method enlarging a space between single-cut sheets adjacent in a direction of transport, the single-cut sheets being produced by being sequentially cut from a continuous sheet that is transported in the direction of transport, the method comprising:\n a first transporting step of transporting the single-cut sheets taking a direction of rotation of a first rotating body as the direction of transport by rotating the first rotating body while holding the single-cut sheets on an outer circumferential surface with a holding force of the outer circumferential surface of the first rotating body, the single-cut sheets being each produced by being cut from the continuous sheet; and a second transporting step of transporting the single-cut sheets taking a direction of rotation of a second rotating body as the direction of transport by rotating the second rotating body while receiving and holding the single-cut sheets on an outer circumferential surface of the second rotating body, the single-cut sheets being transported from the first rotating body, in the first transporting step, an upstream-side end part of each of the single-cut sheets in the direction of transport being bonded to the outer circumferential surface of the first rotating body by adhesive provided at least in a part of the upstream-side end part, each of the single-cut sheets being transported in the direction of transport at a peripheral speed value of the first rotating body, in the second transporting step, in a state in which the second rotating body rotates at a peripheral speed value larger than the peripheral speed value of the first rotating body, and the upstream-side end part of each of the single-cut sheets is located on the outer circumferential surface of the first rotating body, the second rotating body transporting each of the single-cut sheets while allowing a portion of each of the single-cut sheets located on the second rotating body to relatively slide behind in the direction of transport with respect to the outer circumferential surface of the second rotating body on the basis that each of the single-cut sheets is transported in the direction of transport at the peripheral speed value of the first rotating body, after the adhesive of the upstream-side end part is separated from the outer circumferential surface of the first rotating body and the upstream-side end part moves from the outer circumferential surface of the first rotating body to the outer circumferential surface of the second rotating body, the second rotating body transporting the single-cut sheets at the peripheral speed value of the second rotating body.
