Patent ID: 7799162

Claim:
A method of manufacturing a composite web, the method comprising: delivering molten elastomeric polymeric composition onto a forming tool; maintaining the forming tool at a roll temperature that is below a melt processing temperature of the elastomeric polymeric composition; depositing a molten anchor polymeric composition on at least two portions of the elastomeric polymeric composition; transferring the anchor polymeric composition to a first major surface of a base substrate, wherein the transferring comprises contacting the first major surface of the substrate with the anchor polymeric composition; and separating the elastomeric polymeric composition from the forming tool after the transferring; wherein a composite web is formed that comprises one or more elastic composite structures on the first major surface of the base substrate, wherein each of the elastic composite structures comprises an elastic component attached to at least two anchors, wherein the anchors comprise the anchor polymeric composition and wherein the elastic component comprises the elastomeric polymeric composition.
