Appeal 2007-0784
Application 10/304,239
Appellants claim an elastic composite 21 comprising a substrate 55,
57 and an elastic member 61 secured to the substrate and extending (1)
generally longitudinally of the substrate along an elastic axis 62 of the
elastic member or (2) along a crooked securement path 63 (claims 1 and 46;
figs. 2, 3, and 5E).
Representative claims 1 and 46 are reproduced below:
1. An elastic composite comprising:
a substrate having a longitudinal axis; and
an elongate elastic member secured to the substrate and
extending generally longitudinally of the substrate along an
elastic axis of said elastic member between a first location on
the substrate and a second location on the substrate spaced
longitudinally from the first location, at least a portion of
the elastic axis being generally non-parallel to the
longitudinal axis of the substrate, the elastic member crossing
its elastic axis at least twice as it extends along said elastic
axis, said elastic member crossing itself at least once as it
extends along said elastic axis.
46. An elastic composite comprising:
a substrate; and
an elastic member secured to the substrate and extending
along a crooked securement path between a first location on the
substrate and a second location on the substrate spaced
longitudinally from the first location, the elastic member
defining a loop pattern comprising a continuous series of loops
wherein each loop has an open portion and a closed portion,
