CUTTING DEVICE AND CUTTING METHOD, AND EQUIPMENT AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING INTER-LABIA MAJORA PAD

摘要

The present invention relates, for example, to a cutter, an apparatus for producing an interlabial pad having the cutter, a cutting method, and a method for producing the interlabial pad including the cutting method. The cutter cuts out a member from continuous sheet base material. The cutter has; a conveyer for conveying the base material along the continuing direction; a cutter having a cutting blade and a driving mechanism for bringing the cutting blade in/from substantially the center in the width direction of the conveyed base material, for cutting out the member by pressing the cutting blade against the base material; a member discharger for discharging the cut-out member; a divider for dividing the base material remainder, which is a remainder of the base material after the member is cut out, into two along the continuing direction of the base material; and a base material remainder discharger for discharging the divided base material remainders in the directions away from each other. According to the present invention, the members and the base material remainder can be surely separated so that the dislocations of the cut-out member can be prevented.
