US Patent:

40173496, Apr 12, 1977

Filed:

Mar 28, 1975

Appl. No.:

5/563180

Inventors:

Donald R. DePriest - Columbus MS
Bobby C. Brandon - Columbus MS

Assignee:

Humboldt Products Corporation - Columbus MS

International Classification:

B65C 1100
B65H 2500

US Classification:

156361

Abstract:

Apparatus for manufacturing large, disposable specialty drapes such as laparotomy sheets. Strips of stock material are automatically drawn from a supply and glued together to form the required width. A reinforcement patch is attached and then a fenestration cut through the patch and the underlying stock material. Subsequently, the fenestrated stock material is cut off to provide the finished sheet. The work stations at which the reinforcement patch is applied, the fenestration cut and the finished sheet cut off are spaced so that these operations can be performed simultaneously on different sheets in a line. A control unit is provided to control these operations simultaneously.

International Classification:

US Classification:

156250

Abstract:

A method for manufacturing large disposable specialty drapes, particularly surgical drapes such as cystoscopy sheets and lithotomy sheets. Two strips of various stock material are automatically drawn to length from separate supplies, processed, and mated in the required configuration. The processing includes making of one or more fenestrations and, for those drapes requiring it, attachment of a filter. The material is then cut to length to provide the finished sheet. The work stations, at which the fenestrations are made, the filter attached, and the sheet cut, are spaced to permit these operations to be performed simultaneously on different sheets in a line. A control unit synchronizes and controls these operations. The finished sheet is provided with an improved filter which is attached to the sheet body by a heat sealing process, thus avoiding the separation of the filter due to excessive exposure to fluid in the course of a surgical procedure.
