摘要:
A process for overwrapping a catamenial device such as a tampon includes the stepsof providing a substantially cylindrical overwrapper material, insertinga catamenial device into the overwrap material, and closing the open end of theoverwrapper material. The overwrapper material has an open end, a closed end,and a first length. The catamenial device has a tapered insertion end, a longitudinalaxis, and a length less than the first length, such that the open end of the overwrappermaterial extends beyond the insertion end of the inserted catamenial device.Concave clamping jaws are applied to the open end of the overwrapper materialto urge it toward the longitudinal axis of the catamenial device to conform portionsof the overwrapper material to the insertion end of the catamenial device andto fold overwrapper material between adjacent clamping jaws to form fins extendingoutwardly from the conformed portions.
