CONVEYOR AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING ABSORBING ARTICLE Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC A61F13/47 

FIELD: transport.

SUBSTANCE: present invention relates to conveyor and method for producing absorbing article which uses such conveyor to selectively convey continuous canvas of different sizes. Conveyor selectively conveying continuous canvas having the first article size or continuous canvas having the second article size other than the first article size includes guiding mechanism made with possibility to change position of passing at least one of the first and the second side edge portions of canvas by means of contact interaction with at least side edge portion of canvas. There are two mechanisms: detection mechanism configured to detect position of canvas side edge portion passing and driving mechanism actuating guiding mechanism and mechanism of detection of equal distance in transversal direction being perpendicular to conveying direction of canvas of the first or the second canvas size. Detection mechanism and guiding mechanism are installed to be capable of simultaneous movement, detection mechanism is electrically connected with power drive which is part of guiding mechanism and detects passing of edge portion of canvas, and guiding mechanism corrects position of roller assembly which is part of guiding mechanism by means of power drive based on detection mechanism data.

EFFECT: invention is aimed to provide conveyor and method to produce absorbing article which are capable of selective conveying any of canvases for two or more sizes by simply changing position of side edge canvas portion passing without complex control.
