PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a device for producing an absorbent article, stretching a belt-like elastic member while suppressing a neck-in phenomenon, and arranging the elastic member in a curved line.SOLUTION: This device 1 for producing an absorbent article includes: a first rotation mechanism 111 configured to attach a continuously carried leg peripheral elastic member 50 onto a continuously carried web, and carrying the leg peripheral elastic member along the peripheral face and a second rotation mechanism 121 carrying the leg peripheral elastic member supplied from the first rotation mechanism along the peripheral face while displacing the leg peripheral elastic member in the width direction CD. A distance between a separation point P1 wherein the leg peripheral elastic member is separated from the first rotation mechanism and an abutment point P2 wherein the leg peripheral elastic member 50 abuts on the second rotation mechanism is shorter than a turn radius of at least one of the first rotation mechanism and the second rotation mechanism, and a rotational speed of the second rotation mechanism is faster than a rotational speed of the first rotation mechanism, so that the device 1 stretches the leg peripheral elastic member in the carriage direction between the separation point and the abutment point.COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT【課題】ネックイン現象を抑制しつつ帯状の弾性部材を伸長させて、曲線状に配置することができる吸収性物品の製造装置を提供する。【解決手段】吸収性物品の製造装置1は、連続して搬送されるウェブ上に、連続して搬送される脚周り弾性部材50を取り付けるように構成され、脚周り弾性部材を外周面に沿わせて搬送する第1回転機構111と、第1回転機構から供給される脚周り弾性部材を幅方向CDに変位させつつ外周面に沿わせて搬送する第2回転機構121と、を備え、脚周り弾性部材が第1回転機構と離間する離間点P1と、第2回転機構に脚周り弾性部材50が当接する当接点P2と、の距離は、第1回転機構と第2回転機構とのうち少なくとも一方の旋回半径よりも短く、第2回転機構の回転速度は、第1回転機構の回転速度よりも速く、離間点と当接点との間において脚周り弾性部材を搬送方向に伸長させる。【選択図】図2
