An extensible composite member (1) including an extensible portion (10)
having two sheet materials (2, 3) and elastic members (4) intermediate
between the sheet materials. The two sheet materials (2, 3) are
discontinuously bonded to each other in the extending direction of the
extensible portion (10) (X direction) and a direction perpendicular
thereto (Y direction). The elastic members (4) are arranged in the
extensible portion (10) avoiding joints (5) between the sheet materials
and have both ends thereof fixed to the sheet materials. Each of the two
sheet materials (2, 3) forms folds (6) continuously running across a
plurality of the elastic members (4).
