A method for forming a tampon applicator having a dome shaped forward end is disclosed, in which the requisite ejection force for discharging the pledget from the applicator is reduced by radially bending the petals forming the domed tip about their base prior to final fabrication of the dome-shaped petal tip. Several orders of the sequential steps for bending the petals are disclosed. The resultant tampon applicator has weakened fibers at the base of its petals to provide a desired significant reduction of the pledget ejection force.
Description d'une méthode de fabrication d'un applicateur de tampon avec pointe en forme de dôme. La force requise pour libérer le tampon de l'applicateur est réduite en pliant radialement, près de leur base, les pétales qui forment le bout en dôme, et ce, avant la fabrication finale de ce bout. Plusieurs séquences des étapes de pliage des pétales sont décrites. L'applicateur de tampon ainsi produit possède des fibres affaiblies à la base de ses pétales, permettant de réduire considérablement la force nécessaire pour libérer le tampon.
