<p>A machine (10) for applying elastic (20, 22) to material (14) is provided that includes a conveyor (28) for carrying material (14). The conveyor (28) moves the material (14) in one direction (29a) along a flow path (16). An elastic band storage (39) with a plurality of elongate elastic bands (20a, 20b, 20c, 22a, 22b, 22c) is provided for application to the material (14). An elastic feeder (44) has a feeder head (53, 54) that feeds the plurality of elasctic bands (20a, 20b, 20c, 22a, 22b, 22c) directly onto the material (14) while the feeder head (53, 54) moves laterally (55, 56) across the flow path (16). The feeder head (53, 54) is operable to feed the elastic bands (20a, 20b, 20c, 22a, 22b, 22c) onto the material (14) while maintaining a selected spacing between individual elastic bands (20a, 20b, 20c, 22a, 22b, 22c) throughout the curved contour (21).</p> |
