US Patent 11399987 Method of producing a chassis web comprising a waistband component and disposable pant article produced from the chassis web

A method for producing a chassis web which may be further converted into a disposable pant article and a pant article is disclosed. The method includes feeding a continuous base web in a machine direction; attaching a continuous elastic waistband component to the base web in an attachment area; severing the base web and the attached elastic waistband component by cutting; shifting positions of the first panel web and the second panel web in a cross machine direction, thereby bringing the first and the second panel webs into an arrangement with first and second cut edges facing away from each other in the cross machine direction; directly or indirectly connecting the first side edge of the first panel web with the second side edge of the second panel web thereby forming a coherent chassis web.
