Abstract
The end is gathered to reduced diameter, in which configuration it is heated. An Independent claim is included for corresponding equipment carrying out the process. Preferred features: Gathering jaws (8, 9) approach the pack at right angles to its longitudinal axis, to execute heating. During gathering, an axially-moving mandrel projects into the open end of the pack. The tampon is already inside, or during this process, a molding in the pack, near the gather, has the shape of the tampon to be packed. The rosette remaining outside the gather is sealed, preferably by heating under pressure. During gathering, only part of the casing (6) forming the pack is held axially, permitting freedom of axial movement for the open end. Notable features of the equipment include the sliding faces (13) on which the gathering jaws directly support each other, their V-shaped ends enclosing a diamond shape. The V-angle is 45 degrees -90 degrees .
