Abstract:
1. A method for making an elastomeric laminate, the method comprising the steps of: rotating a first roller about a first axis of rotation, the first roller having an outer circumferential surface having a surface speed V rotating a second roller about a second axis of rotation, the second roller having an outer circumferential surface having a surface speed V rotating a third roller about a third axis of rotation, the third roller having an outer circumferential surface having a surface speed V supplying a first substrate having a first surface and an opposing second surface; continuously advancing the first substrate at speed V advancing an elastic material in the machine direction through the first nip and to the third roller; stretching the elastic material in the machine direction between the first nip and to the third roller; separating the elastic material in the machine direction between the first nip and the third roller to create an upstream end portion and a downstream end portion; joining the upstream end portion of the elastic material with the first surface of the first substrate; and restretching the elastic material by conveying the upstream end portion of the elastic material with the first surface of the first substrate past the third roller.
