Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing an adhesive tape for redetachable closure or fixing, comprising a strip-like carrier (1), which is being coated with a self-adhesive agent (2), at least on the active area which during use of the adhesive tape is brought into contact with a counter surface (7), and also relates to the adhesive tape as such. For improving production of the adhesive tape, several methods are suggested, according to one of which in a first step the active area is coated with a self-adhesive agent (2) forming a continuous layer, and in a second step, in order to reduce the effective entire adhesive area, a non-adhering or less-adhering separating pattern (4) is printed on the self-adhesive layer.

Abstract: The present invention relates to garments that have close body fit. The garment of the present invention comprises an elasticized waistband, a front panel having first and second sections, a rear panel having first and second sections, a crotch region disposed between and joining the front panel to the rear panel and a pair of elasticized leg openings. The first section of the front panel has a greater resistance to streching in the lateral direction than the second section of the front panel. The first section of the rear panel has a greater resistance to stretching in the lateral direction than the second section of the rear panel. The crotch region is provided with a longitudinal stretch control member that is disposed along the longitudinal centerline of the undergarment. The longitudinal stretch control member limits the stretch of the crotch region in the longitudinal direction causing the crotch region to conform to a weare's skin surface.
