Abstract for 594750 A manufacturing apparatus for manufacturing an absorbing body for an absorptive article, the manufacturing apparatus manufacturing the absorbing body by By passing air (3) containing a liquid absorbent material (2) in the thickness direction of an air-permeable member (50) covering an opening (27a) of a mold member (27), the liquid absorbent material is deposited on the air-permeable member. A reinforcing member (60) is provided that reinforces the air-permeable member by being superimposed on the air-permeable member in the thickness direction. The reinforcing member is a mesh in which a first wire (61) and a second wire (62) intersect and are connected at intersection points (CP60) thereof. At the intersection points, the reinforcing member is joined to the air-permeable member.
