PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a functionally and/or aesthetically improved elastic composite suitable for disposable absorbent garments such as diapers or a cost effective system, and method of manufacturing the elastic composite.SOLUTION: A method for manufacturing an elastic composite entails conveying a first sheet on a conveyor, and wrapping a section of elastic about the first sheet and the conveyor, thereby applying elastics cross directionally across the sheet. A subcomposite including the first sheet, a second sheet, and elastics sandwiched therebetween is created, and a plurality elastics extend outward from one side of the subcomposite about the conveyor and return into an opposite side of the subcomposite. The subcomposite is cut through the first and second sheets and the elastics, thereby separating the subcomposite into a first carrier and a second carrier, each carrier including a material layer, and the first and second carriers define an exposed elastic region therebetween formed of a plurality of spaced apart elastic elements. |
