<p>The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing fastener elements for fastening devices that are intended to be affixed to side-parts (2, 3) of an absorbent article (1) of the kind which includes a central part and front and rear side-parts (2, 3) that project out from respective sides of the central part, so as to enable the front and rear side-parts on one and the same side of the central part of the article to be joined together. According to the invention, a central, longitudinally extending, wave-shaped slit (14; 23; 31) is made in a material web (11; 21; 28) which includes at least one continuous row of fastening devices (22) or a continuous string (29, 30) of fastener devices or fastener-device blanks (12) which extends in the longitudinal direction of the material web. Transverse slits (15-20; 24, 25) are made on both sides of the material web up to the region of the wave-shaped slit, these transverse slits being mutually spaced in the longitudinal direction of the web at a continuously repeated spacing sequence. The invention also relates to fastener-device elements manufactured in accordance with the method.</p> |
