Process for applying adhesive in an article having a strand material

A method for forming an article, the method comprising

• moving at least one individual separate strand of material along an appointed direction;
• directing a separately dispensed, substantially continuous filament of adhesive onto said each separate individual strand of material;
• oscillating said each separate substantially continuous individual filament of adhesive as said filament is directed onto said each separate individual strand of material;
• capturing each said substantially continuous individual filament of adhesive on each separate individual strand of material;
• and
• wrapping said each individual strand of material at least partially with said individual adhesive filament.

A method for forming an article, the method comprising

• moving a strand of material along an appointed direction;
• directing a substantially continuous filament of adhesive onto said strand of material;
• directing at least one air stream to cause oscillation of said continuous adhesive filament and operatively wrap said filament of adhesive around said strand of material;
• and
• capturing said substantially continuous filament of adhesive on said strand of material.

A method for forming an article, the method comprising

• moving at least one individual separate strand of material along an appointed direction;
• directing a separately dispensed, substantially continuous filament of adhesive onto said each separate individual strand of material;
• traversing said each separately dispensed, substantially continuous individual filament of adhesive along a filament path which provides a plurality of cross-wise overlaps between said individual filament and its corresponding individual strand of material as said filament is directed onto said each separate individual strand of material;
• capturing each said separately dispensed, substantially continuous individual filament of adhesive on each separate individual strand of material;
• and
• wrapping said each individual strand of material at least partially with its corresponding individual filament of adhesive.
