Abstract
The applicator assembly delivers a cosmetic, health, or hygiene chemical composition in an active state to the user for a disposable single use. The applicator assembly includes a wrapper, and an insert. The insert holds the chemical composition, and the insert is made of a foam composition compatible with the chemical composition. The system and method for manufacturing the assembly is a web conversion process for the chemical composition and foam composition of the assembly. The system and method for manufacturing the assembly includes a first roll, wrapper material, a second roll, foam material, a foam cutter, a dispenser, a flatbed hot seal packager, a sheet cutter, and an outfeed conveyor.
Claims18
A system for manufacturing, comprising:
- a first roll of wrapper material mounted in a first direction so as to dispense said wrapper material in said first direction,
- wherein said wrapper material splits into a top sheet material and a bottom sheet material;
- a lower turn bar below said first roll so as to conveying said bottom sheet material in a second direction orthogonal to said first direction;
- an upper turn bar above said first roll so as to conveying said top sheet material in a third direction orthogonal to said first direction and opposite to said second direction;
- a second roll of foam material mounted orthogonal to said first roll so as to dispense said foam material in said third direction;
- a plurality of upper rollers switching said top sheet material between said third direction and said second direction;
- a plurality of lower rollers switching said bottom sheet material between said second direction and said third direction,
- a foam cutter aligned with said second roll so as to cut said foam material into a plurality of insert bodies and a perforated foam material sheet
- wherein said foam material matches said bottom sheet material in said third direction at said foam cutter, said foam material being above said bottom sheet material;
- a dispenser having a chemical composition stored within said dispenser, said dispenser positioned above each insert body and said bottom sheet material and after said foam cutter, said dispenser being movable so as to match said bottom sheet material in said third direction,
- wherein a set amount of said chemical composition and a respective insert body form an insert for each insert body;
- a flatbed heat seal packager positioned along said bottom sheet material in said third direction after said dispenser, said flatbed heat seal packager being movable in said third direction so as to match said bottom sheet material and said top sheet material in said third direction,
- wherein said upper turn bar and said upper rollers align said top sheet material above said insert and said bottom sheet material, said top sheet material from said upper turn bar to said flatbed heat seal packager matching said bottom sheet material from said lower turn bar to said flatbed heat seal packager, and
- wherein a top sheet of said top sheet material is sealed to a bottom sheet of said bottom sheet material around each insert so as to form a border along a perimeter of each insert, each insert being positioned between said top sheet and said bottom sheet, while said flatbed heat seal packager matches said bottom sheet material and said top sheet material in said third direction,
- a sheet cutter positioned along said bottom sheet material and said top sheet material in said third direction after said flatbed heat seal packager,
- wherein each border is cut from said top sheet material and said bottom sheet material so as to form an assembly from each border, a perforated top sheet material, and a perforated bottom sheet material;
- and
- an outfeed conveyer receiving each assembly from said sheet cutter, said outfeed conveyor moving in said third direction away from said sheet cutter.
