Abstract
An apparatus for compressing a material is disclosed which is particularly useful for forming compressed tampons. The apparatus includes a housing having a first member spaced away from the housing and a second member movable on the housing. Both the first and second members contain die surfaces. A moveable finger is associated with the second member. The moveable finger has a first surface which is biased against the first member and a second surface which cooperates with the die surfaces of the first and second members to form a mold cavity therebetween. The second member is movable so as to cause the mold cavity to vary in volume. Material inserted into the mold cavity can be compressed as the first and second members move towards each other. The compressed product can then be released as the first and second members are moved apart.
