Abstract:
The present invention is a new elongate single-ply paper napkin that achieves the necessary absorbency, strength, hand feel and softness for commercial use but which is less expensive than traditional napkin products. More particularly, the invention is a single-ply napkin that contains folds running only in the transverse direction of the product, i.e. perpendicular to the length of the napkin.
Abstract:
A paper toweling which provides a combination of strength, bulk and absorbency while presenting an attractive appearance. Included are a single ply paper towel having areas of light and heavy embossing perforations which form diamond shaped islands of heavy embossing perforations surrounded by intersecting bands of light bosses.
Abstract:
An absorbent towel or tissue product of cellulosic fibers or other fibrous material in continuous roll or strip form is provided with a plurality of lines of weakness, suitably slits or knife cuts, delimiting the edges of individual sheets to facilitate detachment of sheets from the roll without longitudinal tearing of the towel or tissue and maintain bonding of the plies on the roll and in detached sheets.
Abstract:
A curl reducing adapter kit for a napkin dispenser used for dispensing interfolded napkins including an enclosure with a dispensing wall defining a dispensing slot and a slidably mounted, biased pressure carriage adapted to advance a stack of napkins in the enclosure toward the dispensing wall includes a tongue for mounting about the dispensing wall such that the tongue projects into the dispensing slot and narrows the slot. The tongue further includes a plurality of friction tabs configured to project inwardly into the enclosure from the upper inner lip of the dispensing slot and frictionally engage the napkins to limit bulge through the slot. A plurality of orienting ridges are configured to be disposed about a lower portion of the dispensing wall and are adapted to frictionally engage the napkin stack to guide the stack and reduce curl while a plurality of curl limiting tabs are configured to be disposed about the lower inner lip of the dispensing slot and project inwardly into the enclosure so as to frictionally engage the stack of napkins and further limit curl. A napkin dispenser having the foregoing features may likewise be constructed incorporating the features without the need for an adapter kit.
