Patent ID: 7211531

Claim:
An elastomeric nonwoven laminate comprising: a) a first nonwoven including a first bonding surface and a first machine direction; b) a plurality of elastic strands extending in the first machine direction and attached to the first bonding surface of the first nonwoven forming an intermediate laminate, wherein the plurality of elastic strands are under a first strain along the length of the elastic strands when attached to the first bonding surface forming corrugations in the first nonwoven once the first strain is relieved enabling the intermediate laminate to be extendable in the first machine direction; and c) a second nonwoven having a second bonding surface, a second machine direction and a second cross direction, wherein the second bonding surface is attached to the elastic strands and a portion of the first bonding surface of the first nonwoven once the first strain is relieved from the elastic strands forming a nonwoven laminate, and wherein the second nonwoven is mechanically activated subsequent to being attached to the elastic strands and a portion of the first bonding surface enabling the second nonwoven to be extensible with the intermediate laminate.
