Abstract
A laminated article having elastic strands or filaments contained therein for providing elasticity to the article, are provided. The particular adhesive pattern bonds the relatively inelastic nonwoven layers to the more elastic continuous filaments in a pattern that allows adhesive-to-adhesive, adhesive-to-nonwoven layer, and adhesive-to-elastic filament bonding.
Claims13
An laminated fabric article comprising:
- (a) a facing layer;
- (b) a plurality of elastic filaments adjacent to a surface of the facing layer;
- and
- (c) an adhesive component, wherein the adhesive component is applied to the surface of the nonwoven layer in adhesive lines, the adhesive lines intersecting both the elastic filaments and themselves to form a bonding network comprised of adhesive-to-elastic bonds, adhesive-to-facing layer, and adhesive-to-adhesive bonds.
