Elastic composite, and a system and method for making the elastic composite

A method of making an elastic composite for incorporation into a disposable absorbent garment, textile or fabric structure, and the like, said method comprising the steps of:

• conveying a first web of material in a web plane moving direction;
• conveying a second web of material in the web plane moving direction;
• and
• applying a section of a continuous strand of elastic element generally linearly onto both the first web and the second web along a direction generally transverse to said web plane moving direction;
• wherein the first and second webs are spaced laterally apart such that the section of continuous strand of elastic is applied along a transverse line extending across the first web and the second web and wherein applying the section of continuous strand of elastic spins the section of elastic about a plane and about the first and second webs;
• and
• applying a singe matching web of material onto the first and second webs having a plurality of elastic elements applied thereon, thereby providing a web of elastic composite comprising at least two layers of material and a plurality of elastic strands sandwiched between layers of material.
