Apparatus for manufacturing absorbent articles comprising a holding body and a transfer body, wherein the transfer body transfers a first material from the holding body to a second material
A device for producing an absorbent article, which comprises a first material and a second material, comprising a holder which is provided with a holding face and holds the first material at the holding face, a transfer part which moves said holder, that is holding the first material, toward the second material and thus transfers the first material onto the second material. The first material comprising a first part and a second part which is thicker than the first part in the thickness direction of the first material. The holding face comprising a first area and a second area which is located at a concave position inside the first area in the height direction of the holder. The holder holding the first material, while allowing the adsorption of the first part by the first area and the adsorption of the second part by the second area.
