A method of securing an elastic band having an elastic and a meltable material film to an article includes the steps of extending the article on a workbench, positioning the elastic band on the article, activating the meltable material layer, pressing the elastic band on the article, and cutting the article along with an edge of the elastic band. The method preferably further includes the step of heat-pressing the secured elastic band. An apparatus for performing the method includes an axis, a roller mounted on the axis, a cutter having a blade, and a pipe supplying a hot air toward an area of the article on which the elastic band is positioned. The roller and the cutter are freely rotational with respect to the axis. When the article is in contact with the roller, a movement of the appratus or the article makes the roller and the cutter rotate. With this configuration, it is possible to more efficiently secure the elastic band to the article, and the cutting and the securing are performed simultaneously. |

A multi-layer moisture management elastic fabric including a moisture transport fabric layer constructed of hydrophobic yarns and defining a first fabric face for residing in skin contact during garment wear and for wicking moisture away from the skin. A moisture dispersal fabric layer is constructed of hydrophilic yarns and defines a second fabric face for residing in spaced-apart relation from the skin during garment wear and for receiving moisture from the hydrophobic moisture transport layer. Elastic yarns are integrated with the yarns of the moisture transport fabric layer and the yarns of the moisture dispersal fabric layer to form a single, integrated fabric which is highly elastic. The fabric is useful as waistband material and as athletic headbands, wristbands and as medical bandages and braces. |

The invention relates to a method of manufacturing, by continuous unidirectional rotary knitting, of one-piece bifurcated lower body garments, of the type having a pair of legs, such as tights, leotards, panty hose, body stockings and the like, and of the legless type, such as briefs, panties, panty girdles, batching suits and the like. The invention provides a one-piece rotary knit garment having an elasticated waistband which is formed during the knitting of the garment, and comprises an integral part thereof. By reason of this invention, it no longer is necessary to sew or affix a separate waistband to the garment following its knitting and removal from the knitting machine. The waist opening of the garment preferably also is formed while the garment is being rotary knitted on the machine, although the invention contemplates that the waist opening may be formed subsequent to the removal of the garment from the machine. If desired, additional rotary knit fabric may be added to the garment during knitting, between the waistband and the pants, to provide a waist extension. |

The pants, in particular underpants, include an elastic band and fly opening. The underpants have a bib-like flap in the front region, which is undetachably connected with the underpants in the crotch area. Present in the front region of the elastic band is a VELCRO fastening strip, and a counter-VELCRO fastening strip is fastened to the bib-like flap. The VELCRO fastening strips form a detachable connection between the bib-like flap and the elastic band of the underpants. A grip band is situated on the bib-like flap in the detachable area. This grip band is oversized relative to the length of the bib-like flap, so that the user is able to easily reach with his hand between the flap and grip band, and can detach the bib-like flap from the waistband, so that the fly opening is now completely exposed, and he can grip the genitals or activate a catheter. |
