PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for manufacturing an absorbent article that can form flap pieces of high dimensional accuracy while suppressing the formation of a portion to be treated as a trim from an original fabric of flap parts.SOLUTION: The method for manufacturing the absorbent article having a pair of flap parts comprising a pair of flap pieces includes steps of: cutting a flap original fabric 62 in a wavy shape along its flow direction to obtain a pair of flap continuous bodies 6A, 6B conveying the flap continuous bodies 6A, 6B while sucking them by a conveying means 3 transferring both of the flap continuous bodies 6A, 6B on the conveying means 3 onto separate transfer rolls 4A, 4B from mutually different positions in the conveying direction of the conveying means 3 and then conveying them onto another conveying means 5 to align the positions of flap portions 65, 65 of the flap continuous bodies 6A, 6B and cutting both of the aligned flap continuous bodies 6A, 6B over the width direction to obtain the pair of flap pieces 16, 16.COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT【課題】フラップ部の原反からトリムとして処理すべき部分が生じることを抑制しつつ、寸法精度の高いフラップ片を形成できる、吸収性物品の製造方法を提供すること。【解決手段】一対のフラップ片からなる一対のフラップ部を有する吸収性物品の製造方法であり、フラップ原反62を、その流れ方向に沿って波状に切断して一対のフラップ連続体6A,6Bを得る工程と、フラップ連続体6A,6Bを、搬送手段3に吸着しつつ搬送する工程と、搬送手段3上の両フラップ連続体6A,6Bを、搬送手段3の搬送方向における相異なる位置から別個の転写ロール4A,4Bに転移させた後、他の搬送手段5上に転移させることにより、両フラップ連続体6A,6Bのフラップ部分65,65の位置を合わせる工程と、位置合わせ後の両フラップ連続体6A,6Bを幅方向に亘って切断して、一対のフラップ片16,16を得る切断工程とを具備する。【選択図】図1
