MANUFACTURE OF ABSORBING ARTICLE

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To simplify a manufacturing process and allow efficient manufacture by inserting an absorbing article between a pair of pressing rolls, at least one of which has a plurality of parts with different diameters and materials in the shaft length direction, and simultaneously pressing both sides and the central part in the longitudinal direction of the absorbing article. SOLUTION: For manufacturing a sanitary napkin 4, an absorber continuous body 51, and an absorber continuous body 41 comprising a rear surface sheet 43 and separating sheet 47 are inserted into a pair of pressing rolls 2, 3 of a pressing device 1. At this time, the lower roll 3 is formed by providing large diameter portions 31, 31 at right and left ends in the shaft length direction and a small diameter portion 32 between both large diameter portions 31, 31. Thus, both longitudinal sides of the inserted absorber continuous body 41, where hot melt adhesive materials 45, 45 exist, are strongly compressible between both large diameter portions 31, 31 of the upper and lower rolls 2, 3. While, the longitudinal central part, where adhesive 46 and the separating sheet 47 exist, is strongly compressed between the small diameter portions 32 of the upper and lower rolls 2, 3.
