  • Publication number: 20220098793
    Abstract: A fibrous body manufacturing apparatus includes a putting-out unit, a transportation unit, a deposition unit, and a pressing and heating unit. The putting-out unit puts a ground sheet out, with a functional member arranged on one side of a sheet. The transportation unit transports the ground sheet put out onto itself. The deposition unit lets fibers and a binder deposit on one side of the transported ground sheet, thereby forming a web thereon. The pressing and heating unit applies pressure and heat to the web.
