ABSTRACT:
The invention is an improved applicator for placing elastic strips on articles such as garments. A continuous of tensioned elastic is gripped sequentially by two clamping means. The elastic unit thus created is severed from the main body of elastic material. One or both clamping means may be movable to adjust the length of the elastic unit and control the position where it is applied to the article. Preferably the elastic is adhesively bonded but it may also be stitched to the article. As soon as bonding is achieved, the clamps are opened in sequence and return to a starting position to repeat the cycle.
The examples disclose a six-module elastic applicator designed to apply elastic to discrete areas adjacent to the leg openings of disposable diapers. This applicator enables more precise placement of the elastic and virtually eliminates waste.
