Abstract:
The present disclosure is directed, in part, to methods of transferring discrete articles. A method comprises providing a transfer device having a frame defining a rotation axis, and circumnavigating a plurality of transfer heads of the transfer device about the rotation axis in an orbit, with the orbit passing through a pick-up location and a drop-off location. The method comprises providing a web accumulation device proximate to the drop-off location, moving the web through the web accumulation device at a variable speed, picking up a discrete article at the pick-up location, carrying the discrete article on the one of the plurality of transfer heads between the pick-up location and the drop-off location, and placing the discrete article onto a portion of the web in the drop-off location at a first discrete article pitch and when the portion of the web is moving at a first speed.

Claim (Index 3):
The method of  claim 1 , comprising:\n using a second one of the plurality of transfer heads to pick up a second discrete article at the pick-up location; carrying the second discrete article on the second one of the plurality of transfer heads between the pick-up location and the drop-off location; and placing the second discrete article onto a second portion of the web in the drop-off location at the first discrete article pitch, wherein the two placing steps occur sequentially.
