摘要

An apparatus and method for elasticizing disposable garments wherein a continuously moving elastic ribbon (4) is moved into engagement with a continuously moving web (40) of material while the elastic ribbon (4) is being moved transversely of its length in an undulating pattern to produce an elasticized web 50. An oscillating means is provided which includes a rotatable roll (20) around which the ribbon (4) passes to impart oscillating movement to the ribbon just prior to its engagement with the web (40) to thereby produce an undulating pattern of the ribbon (4) on the web (40).
