Abstract
Apparatus and methods for applying adhesive to one or more narrow substrates, such as elastic strands, that are in motion. The apparatus includes a coating applicator and an air moving device mounted adjacent to the coating applicator. The coating applicator is capable of applying adhesive in the form of an adhesive filament in a pattern onto each narrow substrate. The air moving device includes one or more air discharge passages capable of directing a flow of air toward the narrow substrate. The flow of air transfers momentum to airborne sections of the adhesive filament for promoting coating uniformity on the narrow substrate.
