An apparatus includes a first rotary disc, a plurality of folding plates
mounted on a peripheral zone of the first rotary disc, a plurality of
positive motion cams mounted on the peripheral zone of the first rotary
disc so as to be interposed between the first rotary disc and the folding
plates, a second rotary disc located on a side opposite to the first
rotary disc and a plurality of auxiliary plates mounted on a peripheral
zone of the second rotary disc. The folding plates and the auxiliary
plates synchronously move into a contiguous diaper structure and
simultaneously the guide arms move into a clearance between the guide
blades so that opposite lateral zones of a crotch region may be held
between the guide arms and the guide blades and thereby the crotch region
may be tucked into the contiguous diaper structure.
