HERSTELLUNGSVERFAHREN FÜR LAMINIERTES BAND

摘要

A distinctive method and apparatus provide a technique for forming a fastener system. Generally stated, the apparatus includes a supply mechanism for providing along a machine-direction a first web of material having a medial portion thereof. A first assembly mechanism attaches a second web of material to the medial region of the first web along the machine direction to provide a web laminate, and a first parting mechanism separates the web laminate into at least a first laminate section and a second laminate section. Each laminate section includes a portion of the first web and a portion of the second web, and each laminate section has an edge region thereof. A directing mechanism spaces apart the first and second laminate sections, and a delivery mechanism locates a securement web of fastening material between the first and second laminate sections. The securement web has a first side region and a second side region thereof. A second assembly mechanism affixes the edge region of the first laminate section to the first side region of the securement web, and affixes the edge region of the second laminate section to the second side region of the securement web to thereby form a composite base web which has a media, portion thereof. A second parting mechanism divides the composite web along its medial portion to form at least a first composite securement web and a second composite securement web.
