By reference to an example relating to the manufacture of disposable panty napkins, a method and apparatus are described for applying rubber strips to the leg portions of the napkins. These rubber strips are intended to provide an optimum fit on the wearer's thighs. Since the consumption of rubber strips in the manufacture of panty napkins is a considerable item in the production costs, and the prior-art methods use more rubber strips than necessary for the purpose in the finished napkin, the object of the invention is to limit the length of the required rubber strips to the functional minimum. This is achieved by a method and apparatus in which predetermined lengths are first severed from the unstretched rubber strip in a continuous movement, the resulting sections are stretched, adhesive is either applied to the sections or to the napkin material, and the sections are then applied to the web of sheeting forming the outside of the napkin. |
