    Patent number: 4728381
    Abstract: A machine and method for manufacturing a disposable absorbent continence pad. The machine has a series of stations including a shell-forming station for forming a shell from thermoplastic material, a slitting station for forming slits in a facing material to be sealed to a shell in order to permit the facing material to adapt to the shape of the shell and a sealing station where the facing material and the shell are heat sealed together. The shell-forming station, slitting station and sealing station have special components to assure accurate molding of the shell and prevent wrinkles in the facing material. The manufacturing method embodies a series of processing steps as carried out at the aforesaid stations.
