The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing fastener elements for fastening devices that are intended to be affixed to side-parts of an absorbent article of the kind which includes a central part and front and rear side-parts 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 is made in a material web which includes at least one continuous row of fastening devices or a continuous string of fastener devices or fastener-device blanks which extends in the longitudinal direction of the material web. Transverse slits 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. |
