Abstract: The invention relates to a method for continuously manufacturing elastic pants (28), wherein a flat web material (1, 16, 19) is continuously conveyed in a longitudinal direction (8) of the web material (1, 16, 19), is shaped into a closed tube (4), and is closed in the longitudinal direction (8). The closed tube (4) forms a first outer layer (9). Elastic threads (10) in the form of a tubular reinforcement are then wound around the first outer layer (9) in the conveying direction (8) in such a way that the elastic threads (10) are taut when the outer layer (9) has a convex shape. A second outer layer (15) is then continuously applied to the elastic threads (10) in the conveying direction (8) and is joined to the elastic threads (10) and/or the first outer layer (9). The first outer layer (9), the elastic threads (10) and the second outer layer (15) form an elastic pants web material (21).

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for continuously producing a flexible elastic web material having two outer material webs or layers (20, 32), of which at least one is made of a textile material, and between which a pretensioned elastic intermediate ply is inserted that, when relieved from tension, causes the web material to shorten, and when tension is exerted thereupon, enables the web material to be elastically lengthened again. In order to produce the web material, the first material web or layer (20) is shaped to form a tube, and a contract adhesive (24) is applied thereto. Afterwards, a pattern (26, 28) of elastic threads or stands are, while pretensioned, progressively placed onto the outer side of this tube in a continuous manner in the longitudinal direction of the tube. A second material web or layer (13) is then placed onto the first tubular material web or layer provided with the pretensioned elastic threads, and is progressively joined in an adhering manner to the first material web or layer.
