elastic material made by a method including the steps of applying a tensioning force to elongate at least one pressure sensitive elastomer adhesive sheet inserting substantially individualized fibrous materials into the elastic sheet by mechanical needling the elastomer sheet while it is maintained in an elongated condition and releasing the tensioning force so the attached fibrous materials are positioned closer together by the recovery of the elastic sheet the resulting lanate composite elastic material has stretch and recovery properties bulk and desirable insulation properties one or more layers of the lanate composite material may be combined with other layers of material to create a multi layer structure also disclosed is a method of making in increased pile density composite elastic material including the step inserting substantially individualized fibrous materials into an elongated pressure sensitive elastomer adhesive sheet by stitchbonding malipole stitchbonding or tufting or adhering substantially individualized fibrous materials to the elongated elastomer sheet by flocking techniques the density of attached fibrous materials in the resulting increased pile density composite elastic material is greater than could be achieved by conventional fiber insertion or adherence techniques while still maintaining desirable elastic properties and bulk application_number US 38406495 A description referring to the drawings where like reference numerals represent like materials or process steps and in part to fig1 there is schematically illustrated at 10 a process for forming the materials of the present invention an elastic sheet 20 is unwound from a supply roll 22 and travels in the direction indicated by the arrow associated therewith as the supply roll 22 rotates in the direction of the arrows associated therewith the elastic sheet 20 passes through a nip 24 of a s roll arrangement 26 formed by the stack rollers 28 and 30 the elastic sheet 20 may be.
