    Patent number: 6432242
    Abstract: A method for applying elastic, preferably thread elastic, to a travelling web (1) of material in a direction that is generally perpendicular to the feed direction (20) of the web (1). An applicator (9) is moveable generally perpendicular to the web (1) and includes a thread guide (6) which is moveable between two outer positions, the thread guide (6) being adapted to apply elastic (5a-b) to the web (1). The thread guide (6) delivers the elastic (5a-b) to a stopper (16) as it passes the stopper (16) while moving to its outer position and the thread guide (6) again picks up the elastic (5a-b) as it passes the stopper on the way to the other position.
