Abstract
A method and apparatus for applying discrete stretched film portions to a carrier web includes conveying a continuous elastic film in a machine direction, operating a cutting unit to cut the continuous elastic film into a series of discrete first film portions and discrete second film portions, selectively adjusting a feed rate of the continuous elastic film upstream of the cutting unit, transferring a first film portion and a second film portion from a vacuum drum to a first pair of arms and a second pair of arms of, respectively, of a stretch unit, stretching the first and second film portions in a cross-machine direction by separating the first and second pairs of arms in the cross-machine direction as the stretch unit rotates from a pickup position to a transfer position, and transferring the stretched first and second film portions from the stretch unit to the carrier web.
