Abstract:
A method of producing a stabilized extensible necked material comprising the steps of:a) providing a neckable material;b) feeding the neckable material in a first direction;c) applying a tensioning force to the neckable material to neck the neckable material in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction;d) subjecting the necked material to mechanical stabilization to provide a stabilized extensible necked material;e) passing said stabilized extensible necked material between a peripheral surface of a cylinder which is driven in rotating motion and a device for pressing the stabilized extensible necked material against the peripheral surface of the cylinder;f) retarding the passage of stabilized extensible necked material by a retarding member; andg) directing the stabilized extensible necked material away from the peripheral surface of the cylinder.
