摘要

A method of providing absorbent articles (17) in the form of sanitary napkins, salvaslip or incontinence protectors for women with protective layers (25, 26, 27) covering adhesive regions (29-34) on said article, including said articles a absorbent body (19) included between a liquid permeable outer sheet (20) and a liquid impermeable outer sheet (21) and also including flexible flaps (23, 24) that project outwardly from each longitudinal edge of the article and are they extend along a part of each of said longitudinal edges, and said flaps are provided to fold around the edge of a brief or briefs, and to stick to the outside of the brief when the article is used, and said flaps have regions (29-34) of adhesive on the outside of the liquid impermeable outer sheet (26, 27) in at least one of the flaps (23, 24) and in this part of said outer sheet (21) which extends over the absorbent body (19), the method characterized by providing a band (5) of protective layer material having a width corresponding at least to the greatest width of the article (17) at right angles to the direction of the machine (M) with a sequence of pairs of cuts (8, 9) that, when the band (5) of protective layer material is mounted on a band (1, 3, 4) of white pieces of the article, will be spaced at a distance such that the two cuts (8, 9) in each pair of sequential cutting pairs will extend linearly between the attachment points of the flaps (23, 24) to the longitudinal edges of each article; assembling the band (5) cut in this way of protective layer material on a band (1, 3, 4) of white pieces of the article so that the two cuts in each pair of sequential pairs of cutting extend linearly between the points for connecting the flaps (23, 24) with the longitudinal edges of each article (17); and cutting individual articles (17) provided with protective layers (25, 26, 27) of the composite band (1, 3, 4, 5) composed of said white pieces of the article and the protective layer material band.
