1. Equipment for manufacturing a wearing article including an absorbent main body and a waist-belt section, the absorbent main body having an absorbent body for absorbing fluid, said equipment comprising: a plurality of units movably arranged on a unit basis for transferring a half-completed product
1. Equipment for manufacturing a wearing article including an absorbent main body and a waist-belt section, the absorbent main body having an absorbent body for absorbing fluid, said equipment comprising: a plurality of units movably arranged on a unit basis for transferring a half-completed product of the wearing article along a first direction, andconnecting members each of which is arranged between two adjacent units and connects the two adjacent units,whereineach of the units has a planar size in which a length in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction is longer than in the first direction,each of the units has a height and the lengths of the first direction and the second direction within a size range so that the unit is accommodable in a container according to the JIS or ISO standard,the plurality of units is configured to perform at least one of the steps of: shaping pulverized pulp into the absorbent body,sandwiching the absorbent body between a first sheet member and a second sheet member to define a continuous body of the absorbent main body,producing at least a part of a belt element constituting the waist-belt section,severing the continuous body of the absorbent main body to obtain the individual absorbent main body,affixing a pair of the belt elements to both end sections of the absorbent main body,folding the absorbent main body in two, and superposing the pair of belt elements on each others,joining the superposed belt elements at intervals at a to-be-joined portion thereof to obtain the waist-belt section, andsevering the continuous body of the absorbent main body corresponding to the to-be-joined portion for each waist-belt section to obtain the wearing article,each of the units has a device and a plate member fixed to the device and supporting the from below, andeach of the connecting members has end portions directly fixed to the adjacent plate members of the corresponding units. 2. The equipment according to claim 1, wherein the plurality of the units is configured to continuously transport the half-completed product of the wearing article which continuously extend between at least one pair of the units. 3. The equipment according to claim 1, wherein the plurality of units comprises an absorbent-main-body-forming unit configured to join the first sheet member on which a plurality of the absorbent bodies is placed along the first direction and the second sheet member continuously extending in the first direction, and to obtain the continuous body of the absorbent main body continuously extending in the first direction, and a joining unit configured to join the belt element constituting the waist-belt section and the absorbent main body,whereinthe continuous body of the absorbent main body is adapted to be transferred along the first direction, anda weight of the continuous body of the absorbent main body between the absorbent-main-body-forming unit and the joining unit is supported only by tension of the continuous body of the absorbent main body. 4. The equipment according to claim 3, wherein the plurality of units further comprises an absorbent-body-shaping unit configured to shape the pulverized pulp into the absorbent body, and to place the absorbent body at a certain pitch in the first direction on the first sheet member continuously extending in the first direction, whereinthe first sheet member on which the absorbent body is placed is adapted to be continuously extended and transferred from the absorbent-body-shaping unit to the absorbent-main-body-forming unit, andweights of the absorbent body and the first sheet member continuously extending between the absorbent-body-shaping unit and the absorbent-main-body-forming unit are supported only by tension of the first sheet member. 5. The equipment of a wearing article according to claim 4, wherein the plurality of units comprises a pulverized-pulp-producing unit configured to pulverize a pulp sheet to obtain the pulverized pulp at the absorbent-body-shaping unit. 6. The equipment according to claim 3, wherein the plurality of units further comprises an intermediate-product-producing unit configured to produce an intermediate product of the belt element based on a third sheet member, whereinthe intermediate product is adapted to be transferred in a state of a continuous body along the first direction from the intermediate-product-producing unit to the joining unit,a weight of the intermediate product continuously extending between the intermediate-product-producing unit and the joining unit is supported only by tension of the intermediate product, andthe joining unit is configured to produce the belt element from the intermediate product. 7. The equipment according to claim 6, wherein joining unit is configured to join each of the end sections of the absorbent main body to one of the belt elements, and to sever the continuous body of the absorbent main body into a certain length in the first direction to obtain the individual absorbent main body. 8. The equipment according to claim 1, wherein plate members are spaced away from each other and each of the connecting members is inserted into the space between two adjacent plate members to connect the corresponding units in the first direction. 9. The equipment according to claim 1, wherein some of the connecting members are arranged lining in the second direction between two adjacent units to prevent a twist between the corresponding two adjacent base plates connected in the first direction. 10. The equipment according to claim 1, wherein the plate members are horizontally arranged and the devices of the units are directly fixed only to the horizontal plate members.
