A manufacturing machine manufactures a heat-source rod having a rod-like
extrusion-molded article made from a combustible material with axial
grooves in the cylindrical surface thereof and a heat-insulating web
enveloping the article, and is provided with a apparatus 10 for spouting
water to the web W in the process of the web W being fed to a wrapping
section 4. The spout apparatus 10 includes an air vibrator 12 with a
vibrating rod 34, and a flexible nozzle 36 attached to the rod 34 to
extend across the rod 34 and supplied with water from a rate regulating
pump 42. While the web W is being fed, the end of the nozzle 36 spouts
water to the web W, reciprocating widthways relative to the web W due to
vibration of the rod 34, and the water spouted dissolves a binder used in
the web W to bind heat-insulating fiber, thereby forming a wet band H,
where the wet band H has a waveform continuing along the longitudinal
direction of the web W and provides a adhesive region for bonding the
article.
