Abstract
In the present invention, ultrasonic vibration is outputted to predetermined regions of a first web and a second web from an output surface of an ultrasonic horn so that the predetermined regions may be bonded. The output surface includes a central output portion in a center region of three equal regions into which each predetermined region is divided, and both-ends output portions in both-ends regions at sides of the center region. A central maximum amplitude of the ultrasonic vibration outputted from the central output portion is smaller than an end maximum amplitude of the ultrasonic vibration outputted from each of the both-ends output portions. A central bonding strength of the center region is smaller than an end bonding strength of each of the both-ends regions.
Claims7
A manufacturing method of an absorbent article including a first web which constitutes a front waistband part, and a second web which constitutes a rear waistband part, the method comprising:
- a step A of conveying the first web and the second web in an overlapped state between an anvil part and a vibrator which are provided to an ultrasonic bonding device;
- and
- a step B of bonding predetermined regions provided to the first web and the second web with a predetermined interval in a conveyance direction of the first web and the second web by outputting an ultrasonic vibration from an output part of the vibrator to the predetermined regions, the ultrasonic vibration generated by an oscillator provided to the ultrasonic bonding device, wherein
- the output part includes:
- a central output portion configured to output the ultrasonic vibration to a center region of three equal regions into which each predetermined region is divided in a cross direction crossing the conveyance direction;
- and
- both-ends output portions configured to output the ultrasonic vibration respectively to both-ends regions of the three equal regions into which each predetermined region is divided, the both-ends regions located at both sides in the cross direction of the center region,
- a central maximum amplitude of the ultrasonic vibration outputted from the central output portion to the center region is smaller than an end maximum amplitude of the ultrasonic vibration outputted from each of the both-ends output portions to a corresponding one of the both-ends regions, and
- a central bonding strength of the center region bonded by the central output portion is smaller than an end bonding strength of each of the both-ends regions bonded by a corresponding one of the both-ends output portions.
