Patent ID: 8133343

Claim:
A method for manufacturing a disposable wearing article, comprising the steps of: cutting an outer surface web in a length direction of the outer surface web to form a first outer surface web having a constant width in a width direction of the first outer surface web and a second outer surface web having a constant width in a width direction of the second outer surface web; spacing the first outer surface web and the second outer surface web from each other; cutting an inner surface web in a length direction of the inner surface web to form a first inner surface web and a second inner surface web; spacing the first inner surface web and the second inner surface web from each other; manufacturing a first elastic laminated body by laminating the first outer surface web to the first inner surface web so as to define a first end portion on the first outer surface web, the first end portion protruding outwardly beyond a side edge of the first inner surface web in a width direction of the first elastic laminated body, while placing a first body-fitting elastic member in an extended state in a web length direction between the first outer surface web and the first inner surface web after the first outer surface web and the first inner surface web have been separated respectively from the second outer surface web and the second inner surface web; manufacturing a second elastic laminated body by laminating the second outer surface web to the second inner surface web so as to define a second end portion on the second outer surface web, the second end portion protruding outwardly beyond a side edge of the second inner surface web in a width direction of the second elastic laminated body, while placing a second body-fitting elastic member in an extended state in a web length direction between the second outer surface web and the second inner surface web after the second outer surface web and the second inner surface web have been separated respectively from the first outer surface web and the first inner surface web; attaching an absorber to the first elastic laminated body and the second elastic laminated body which are spaced from each other; placing a first waist elastic member upon the first end portion and a second waist elastic member upon the second end portion; and folding the first end portion inward to thereby enclose the first waist elastic member therein and folding the second end portion inward to thereby enclose the second waist elastic member therein after the step of manufacturing the first elastic laminated body and the second elastic laminated body.
