Abstract: A medium winding device for winding a medium includes: a rotatable winding member; a driver configured to rotate the winding member to wind the medium around the winding member into a roll; a rotating friction member rotatably disposed upstream of the winding member in a conveying direction in which the medium is conveyed, the rotating friction member having a high friction member forming an outer surface of the rotating friction member, and being configured to apply tension to the medium when the medium is wound around the winding member; and a tension adjusting member connected to the rotating friction member and configured to maintain the tension applied to the medium constant.

Abstract: Provided is a removing unit that includes: a first conveying roller, a second conveying roller, a third conveying roller, and a take-up roller. The first conveying roller conveys a stack including first and second base members which are removably stacked with respect to each other. The second conveying roller conveys the second base member from which the first base member has been removed. The third conveying roller conveys the first base member which has been removed from the second base member, along a surface of the first conveying roller. The take-up roller takes up the first base member which has been conveyed by the third conveying roller. The second conveying roller is provided upstream from a first tangent in a conveying direction of the first base member. The third conveying roller is provided to overlap the first tangent or provided downstream from the first tangent, in the conveying direction.

Abstract: A flat type disposable diaper 1 having a liquid permeable topsheet 2, a liquid impermeable or repellent backsheet 3, a liquid retentive absorbent member 4 interposed between the two sheets, a pair of anti-leakage cuffs 6 having standing gather-forming elastic members 61, and a pair of leg flaps 7 having leg gather-formfing elastic members 71. The diaper 1 is sectioned into a front section A, a crotch section B, and a rear section C along the longitudinal direction. The absorbent member 4 includes a higher weight region 4A and a lower weight region 4B. The lower weight region 4B is located in the rear section C, and the higher weight region 4A is located in the crotch section B. At least one of the standing gather and the leg gather is substantially absent in the rear section C having the lower weight region 4B.

Abstract: A disposable diaper is provided comprising a liquid permeable topsheet, a liquid impermeable backsheet, and a liquid retentive absorbent member interposed between the topsheet and the backsheet. The absorbent member comprises, in admixture, a superabsorbent polymer A having a rate of absorption of 8 g/30 sec/0.3 g or more measured by DW method and a superabsorbent polymer B having a rate of absorption of 5 g/30 sec/0.3 g or less measured by DW method at a polymer A/polymer B weight ratio of 90/10 to 10/90. The admixture optionally further comprises fluff pulp in an amount of from 0 to 30% by weight.
