A delivery/reception device for a workpiece for an absorptive article, configured in such a manner that the device receives a first sheet-like workpiece, which is conveyed in the conveyance direction, at a reception position, changes the direction of the first sheet-like workpiece so that the longitudinal direction thereof coincides with the direction intersecting the longitudinal direction of the first sheet-like workpiece at the time when the first sheet-like workpiece was received at the reception position, and delivers at a delivery position the first sheet-like workpiece, the longitudinal direction of which has been changed. The delivery/reception device is provided with: holding pads each having a flat surface section which makes contact with one surface of the first sheet-like workpiece and holds the first sheet-like workpiece a revolution mechanism for revolving the holding pads about a revolution axis parallel to a line normal to the flat surface sections and a rotation mechanism for rotating each of the holding pads about a rotation axis parallel to the line normal to the flat surface sections. The reception position and the delivery position are set on the locus of revolution of the holding pads, the locus being formed by the revolution mechanism.La présente invention concerne un dispositif de distribution/réception pour une pièce de fabrication pour un article absorbant, configuré de telle manière que le dispositif reçoive une première pièce de fabrication en forme de feuille, qui est transportée dans la direction de transport, à une position de réception, change la direction de la première pièce de fabrication en forme de feuille de sorte que la direction longitudinale de celle-ci coïncide avec la direction coupant la direction longitudinale de la première pièce de fabrication en forme de feuille au moment auquel la première pièce de fabrication en forme de feuille est reçue à la position de réception, et distribue à une position de distribution la prem
