Abstract

See full text

An apparatus is provided for attaching a withdrawal tape to a catamenial tampon. The apparatus is designed so that the withdrawal cord is frictionally wound up upon a centering mandrel in a controlled manner and then pressed against the withdrawal end of a tampon to provide a spiral of withdrawal cord in the same uniform shape and quality while manufacturing such tampons at high speed. The withdrawal cord is picked up by a driver and wound up in an annular chamber between a centering mandrel and the driver. The driver comprises two cylindrical driver shelves arranged concentrically to one another at a radial distance and each having a driver tooth. The cooperation between the driver teeth and the two driver shelves makes it possible to perfectly guide the withdrawal cord during the course of winding the same.
