Patent number: 7470340Abstract: A method for the production of a fleece laminate material that has elastic regions and non-elastic regions. In the method, parallel strips of elastic laminate are laminated in between two webs of nonwoven material, at a distance from one another and the nonwoven webs are directly bonded to one another, in the regions between the strips, and form non-elastic regions. The segments of the fleece laminate material that contain a strip, in each instance, form elastic regions. According to the invention, the elastic laminate has a tacky elastomer core layer and at least one non-blocking outer layer of nonwoven material, applied to the tacky core layer.Type: GrantFiled: May 13, 2005Date of Patent: December 30, 2008Assignee: Nordenia Deutschland Gronau GmbHInventors: Georg Baldauf, Marcus Schönbeck

Publication number: 20060225835Abstract: A method for the production of an elastic laminate material web comprises laminating a cover material onto a carrier film consisting of a thermoplastic elastomer, using a hot-melt glue. The carrier film is rolled off a film roll and has a polymer powder on at least one side, to prevent interlocking of the layers of the carrier film in the film roll. The melt temperature of the powder is less than or equal to the gluing temperature of the hot-melt glue, so that the powder melts during lamination.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 14, 2005Publication date: October 12, 2006Inventor: Marcus Schonbeck

Patent number: 7083691Abstract: A method for the production of an elastic, air-permeable laminate film is disclosed, whereby material webs made of a fiber non-woven fabric are applied to both sides of an elastomer layer, and the multi-layered material subsequently runs through an ultrasound bonding station. The elastomer layer is melted to form point-shaped bonds at discrete locations by means of ultrasound, while maintaining the substance of the fiber non-woven fabric. An air-permeable structure is formed at the melted sites. According to the method, a melt film made of a thermoplastic elastomer is passed to a laminating unit and introduced, in the thermoplasticized state, between two material webs of fiber non-woven fabric that run into the laminating unit. The melted intermediate layer of the multi-layered material is cooled to solidification temperature, whereby a laminate with cover layers made of fiber non-woven fabric is produced. The laminate is subsequently passed to the ultrasound bonding station.Type: GrantFiled: January 21, 2003Date of Patent: August 1, 2006Assignee: Nordenia Deutschland Gronau GmbHInventors: Markus Hamulski, Georg Baldauf, Marcus Schönbeck
