Abstract

A laminated stretchable sheet and a method for producing the same of the present invention include: a step of shrinking the continuous sheets W 1 and W 2 in a width direction Y along folding lines WL extending in the flow direction of continuous sheets W 1 and W 2 thereby forming slack portions W 1 b and W 2 b that can be stretched; a step of placing an elastic member F that can be stretched in the width direction Y on the continuous sheets W 1 and W 2 while the elastic member F is aligned with the slack portions W 1 b and W 2 b ; a step of attaching at least opposite end portions of the elastic member F in the width direction Y to the continuous sheets W 1 and W 2 , during the placement, thereby forming a composite sheet; a step of stretching the slack portions W 1 b and W 2 b and the elastic member F in the width direction Y; and a step of attaching together the continuous sheets W 1 and W 2 and the elastic member F intermittently in an intermediate portion between the opposite end portions.

Claims (15)

1. A method for producing a laminated stretchable sheet, the method comprising:

a step of slackening a continuous sheet, which is continuous, in a width direction perpendicular to a flow direction of the continuous sheet, thereby forming an elongatable slack portion in the continuous sheet;

a step of placing an elastic member that is stretchable in the width direction of the continuous sheet on the continuous sheet so that the elastic member bridges over the slack portion;

a step of attaching at least opposite end portions of the elastic member in the width direction to the continuous sheet, during the placement, thereby forming a composite sheet;

a step, of stretching the slack portion and the elastic member in the width direction; and

a step of attaching together the continuous sheet and the elastic member intermittently in an intermediate portion between the opposite end portions, while being in the stretched state.

2. A method for producing a laminated stretchable sheet according to claim 1 , wherein the attachment step of the continuous sheet and the elastic member is performed by ultrasonic attachment, in which the continuous sheet is welded by applying a vibration energy thereon.

3. A method for producing a laminated stretchable sheet, the method comprising:

a step of slackening two continuous sheets, which are continuous, in a width direction perpendicular to a flow direction of the continuous sheets, thereby forming elongatable slack portions in the continuous sheets;

a step of carrying the two continuous sheets with the slack portions of these continuous sheets facing each other;

a step of placing an elastic member that is stretchable in the width direction of the continuous sheets between the two continuous sheets so as to bridge over the slack portions and so as to be sandwiched between the two continuous sheets;

a step of attaching at least opposite end portions of the elastic member in the width direction to the continuous sheets, during the placement, thereby forming a composite sheet;

a step of stretching the slack portions and the elastic member in the width direction; and

a step of attaching together the two continuous sheets intermittently in an intermediate portion between the opposite end portions, while being in the stretched state.

4. A method for producing a laminated stretchable sheet according to claim 3 , wherein the attachment step of the two continuous sheets is performed by ultrasonic attachment, in which the continuous sheets are welded by applying a vibration energy thereon.
