Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A converting apparatus operates to control and transfer a folded absorbent article from a first carrier apparatus to a second carrier apparatus. The converting apparatus includes a transfer apparatus and a fluid supply member located adjacent to the transfer apparatus. The transfer apparatus includes a frame that is rotatable about a first axis of rotation and a transfer member that is rotatable about a second axis of rotation. The transfer member defines a receiving surface. The receiving surface includes a plurality of apertures that may operate in cooperation with the fluid supply member to remove any waist region folds in the absorbent article such that a substantially flat absorbent article may be transferred from the transfer apparatus to the second carrier apparatus. L'invention concerne un appareil de conversion fonctionnant de façon à commander et à transférer un article absorbant plié d'un premier appareil de support à un second appareil de support. L'appareil de conversion comprend un appareil de transfert et un élément d'alimentation en fluide situé à proximité de l'appareil de transfert. L'appareil de transfert comprend un cadre, qui peut tourner autour d'un premier axe de rotation, et un élément de transfert, qui peut tourner autour d'un second axe de rotation. L'élément de transfert délimite une surface de réception. La surface de réception comprend une pluralité d'ouvertures qui peuvent fonctionner en coopération avec l'élément d'alimentation en fluide de façon à éliminer tout pli de région de taille dans l'article absorbant, de sorte qu'un article absorbant sensiblement plat puisse être transféré de l'appareil de transfert au second appareil de support.
