Abstract
A carrier member configured to convey one or more webs and to receive a discrete absorbent article from a transfer assembly is disclosed. The transfer assembly comprises a transfer member having a transfer surface. The transfer surface is configured to engage the discrete article. The carrier member comprises a body and a resilient member positioned on the body. The resilient member has a Shore A hardness of between about 20 and about 50.
Claims20
A carrier member configured to convey one or more webs and to receive a discrete absorbent article from a transfer assembly, wherein the transfer assembly comprises a transfer member having a substantially flat transfer surface, and wherein the transfer surface is configured to engage the discrete article, the carrier member comprising:
- a body;
- and
- a resilient member positioned on the body, wherein the resilient member has a Shore A hardness of between about 20 and about 50.
A carrier member configured to convey one or more webs and to receive a discrete article from a transfer assembly, wherein the transfer assembly comprises a transfer member having a substantially flat transfer surface, and wherein the transfer surface is configured to engage the discrete article, the carrier member comprising:
- a body comprising a radial outer surface;
- and
- a resilient member positioned on the radial outer surface, wherein a gap is formed intermediate a portion of the radial outer surface and a portion of an inner surface of the resilient member.
A transfer member of a transfer assembly, wherein the transfer member is configured to transfer a discrete article onto a web conveyed over a carrier member, the transfer member comprising:
- a substantially flat transfer surface having fluid ports defined therein;
- and
- a resilient member on the substantially flat transfer surface, wherein the resilient member comprises fluid ports defined therein, and wherein at least some of the fluid ports of the resilient member are in fluid communication with at least some of the fluid ports in the substantially flat transfer surface.
