Abstract: In a method and apparatus for securing engagement between fastening components of a pre-fastened garment the fastening components are aligned in at least partially overlapping relationship with each other and engaged with each other to define an engagement seam. The fastening components are then flexed at the engagement seam to generate a shear stress at the seam to thereby promote increased engagement between the fastening components. In another embodiment, the fastening components are delivered in a predetermined direction to a nip and then drawn into the nip at a speed greater than the speed at which the fastening components are delivered to the nip. The fastening components are passed through the nip generally to squeeze the fastening components together at the engagement seam for promoting enhanced engagement between the fastening components.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods for securing engagement between fastening components of a pre-fastened garment upon initial assembly thereof arranges the fastening components in at least partially opposed relationship with eachother and engages the fastening components with each other to define an engagement seam. The garment is mechanically handled to generate a shear stress at the engagement seam to thereby promote increased engagement between the fastening components at the engagement seam. In one embodiment, the shear stress is generated by pulling at least one of the engaged fastening components relative to the other. In another embodiment, one of the engaged fastening components is contracted relative to the other to generate the shear stress.

Abstract: A method for positioning side panels during manufacture of a pant includes positioning the side panels within fluid flow devices. The side panels can move parallel or perpendicular to a pant transport plane as the pant is transported in the machine direction and the side panels reside within the fluid flow devices. The side panels can include refastenable fastening components. The method and apparatus can move the fastening components closer together in the cross-machine direction while the side panels reside within the fluid flow devices.
