Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Aspects of the methods and apparatuses relate to making elastic laminates, and more particularly, methods and apparatuses for applying elastic material in a curved path onto an advancing substrate. The elastic material may be in various forms, such as for example, elastic strands and/or ribbons. Apparatuses and methods disclosed herein may also provide for the application of viscous fluids, such as adhesives, in pre-determined patterns to the elastic material while being positioned on an advancing substrate.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. An apparatus for applying an elastic material along a curved path to a substrate, the apparatus comprising: a slot die applicator including a slot opening, a first lip, and a second lip, the slot opening located between the first lip and the second lip; a substrate carrier comprising: a non-compliant support surface and a compliant pattern element, wherein the compliant pattern element includes a pattern surface, and wherein the compliant pattern element p…
