The present disclosure relates to manufacturing elastomeric laminates that may include a first substrate, a second substrate, and an elastic material located between the first substrate and second substrate. Methods and apparatuses may be configured to automatically isolate elastic strands that may break during the assembly process. As discussed in more detail below, the apparatuses may include a snare member extending adjacent to and across a travel path of elastic materials in a converting process. Thus, during the manufacture process, stretched elastics strands may advance past the snare member without contacting the outer circumferential surface of the snare member before being joined with a substrate. In the event that an elastic strand breaks, an upstream end portion of the elastic strand may retract back toward the snare member, wherein the upstream end portion wraps partially or completely around the outer circumferential surface of the snare member.

A method for feeding a sliver end (2) of a sliver (8) deposited in a can (9) to a spinning station (3) of a spinning machine (1), wherein the spinning machine (1) comprises a plurality of adjacently arranged spinning stations (3) including cans (9) located under the spinning stations (3) in at least one row, and wherein a robot (12) grasps the sliver end (2) with the aid of a sliver gripper (14) and feeds it to a spinning station (3a) to be supplied. According to the invention, the sliver end (2) is sought in an area of at least one of the adjacent spinning stations (3b) of the spinning station (3a) to be supplied, preferably in the area (Ba) of the spinning station (3a) to be supplied and of at least one of the spinning stations (3b) adjacent to this spinning station (3a), is taken up by the sliver gripper (14) and is then fed to the spinning station (3a) to be supplied. In the case of a corresponding spinning machine, the sliver gripper (14) is designed and/or arranged on the robot (12) in such a way that it can take up the sliver end (2) in an area (Bb) of at least one spinning station (3b), which is adjacent to the spinning station (3a) to be supplied, preferably in the area (Ba) of the spinning station (3a) to be supplied and in the area (Bb) of at least one of the spinning stations (3b) adjacent to this spinning station (3a), and then feed the sliver end (2) to the spinning station (3a) to be supplied.

Pulling eyes are provided with integrated wiring systems suitable for installing conductors or cables. The pulling eyes may include body portions that define interior cavities that are sized to snugly engage outside portions of the conductors or cables. The body portions are sized to be deformably crimped onto the outside portions of the conductors or cables. The pulling eyes may also include head portions joined to the body portions, with the head portions defining apertures for receiving a strength member for installing the conductors or cables. These apertures place the interior cavities in communication with the exteriors of the pulling eyes.
