Zusammenfassung:An apparatus and process for assembling a first member (38) and a second member (44) is provided. The first member (38) comprises a fluid distributio n part and the second member (44) comprises an absorbent core member having a window portion therein. The assembling apparatus comprises a conveyer mechanism (58) for forming a transport path, a first deposition mechanism (5 2) for placing a series of one of the first (38) and second members (44) in spaced apart relation on the conveyer mechanism (58), and a drum mechanism (42) rotatably mounted adjacent the conveyer mechanism for carrying the othe r of the first (38) and second members (44) and for depositing the same onto o ne of the first (38) or second members (44) already placed on the conveyer mechanism (58). The apparatus further includes a second deposition mechanism for placing a series of the other of the first (38) and second members (44) on the drum mechanism in spaced apart relation and a drive mechanism for the conveyer and the drum mechanism for moving in timed relation the first (38) and second members (44) together on the conveyer mechanism (58) and for positioning a portion of the first member (38) in the window portion of the second member (44).
