Abstract:
An adhesively laminated creped tissue product, having particular usefulness as a dinner napkin, is formed from two creped tissue webs superposed with the lines of creping of each web substantially parallel to the lines of creping of the other, and patterned adhesive disposed between the webs. Each web is in a different condition of stress in the plane of the laminated product. The bonded webs may be formed into individual napkins embossed about their periphery, leaving a substantial unembossed area in the center.
Abstract:
A LAMINATED TISSUE PRODUCT IS FORMED FROM WEBS BONDED IN SUPERPOSED RELATION EMPLOYING PATTERNED LINES OF BONDING DELINEATING SUBSTANTIAL UNBONDED REGIONS. THE WEBS ARE MAINTAINED OUT OF INTIMATE CONTACT OVER SUBSTANTIAL PORTIONS OF THESE UNBONDED REGIONS TO PROVIDE A QUILTED OR CUSHIONED EFFECT. THIS MAY BE ACHIEVED BY EMBOSSING A NUMBER OF PROTUBERANCES ON AT LEAST ONE WEB TO FACE THE OTHER AND KEEP THE WEB APART. ALTERNATELY, OR IN ADDITION, THE WEBS MAY BE JOINED UNDER DIFFERENT RESPECTIVE TENSIONS SO THAT, UPON RELAXING ONE WEB IS OF GREATER AREA THAN THE OTHER.
Abstract:
An apparatus and method for forming longitudinal folds in a series of webs while interfolding the webs into a continuously moving stack. The webs are interfolded through the use of a plurality of folding devices which are positioned along the path of the stack and are effective to successively turn a longitudinally extending edge portion of each web over the stack. A single folding device is provided for each pair of webs to be interfolded, and the webs in each pair are received by the corresponding folding device at spaced locations along its length. The folding devices are of identical construction and include longitudinal guide elements for preventing the turning over of an edge portion of the web received at the first location until after it has moved past the succeeding location. An angularly disposed guide element on each folding device thereafter turns the edge portion over the stack. An edge portion of the second web received by the folding device is not turned over until the web passes the first location on the immediately succeeding folding device and is received by an additional angularly disposed guide element thereon.
Abstract:
A MULTI-PLY CREPED TISSUE PAPER CONTAINING PRINTING BETWEEN THE PILES OF TISSUE TO CREATE A PATTERN OF MUTED AND AESTHETICALLY PLEASING COLORATION VISIBLE ON THE EXTERIOR SURFACE OF THE PILES AND THE METHOD OF MAKING THE
PRODUCT WHICH INVOLVES THE USE OF WATER BASED ADHESIVES AS THE PRINTING MEDIA.
Abstract:
IN AN APPARATUS FOR A METHOD OF DEFIBRATING A WEB OF WOOD PULP, THE WEB IS CONDITIONED BY A UNIFORM SPRAY OF LIQUID IMPINGING ON THE WEB IN A UNIFORM PATTERN AND WITH A UNIFORM DENSITY ACROSS THE FULL WIDTH OF THE WEB. THE SPRAY MAY BE A MIXTURE OF MINERAL OIL AND WATER AND MAY BE GENERATED BY ROTATING A DIP ROLLER INTO A TANK OF THE LIQUID TO LIFT A FILM OF LIQUID TO A ROTATING BRUSH ROLLER. THE ROTATIONAL SPEED OF THE BRUSH ROLLER IS HELD CONSTANT AND THE ROTATIONAL SPEED OF THE DIP ROLLER IS VARIED
IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE WEB TRAVEL SPEED TO PROVIDE A UNIFORM DENSITY OF SPRAY, PREFERABLY ON BOTH SIDES OF THE WEB. THE LIQUID IN THE TANKS MAY BE HELD AT A CONSTANT LEVEL BY A CONTROLLED SUPPLY MEANS.
Abstract:
A series of flat articles are advanced along a path at regular intervals and are folded by continuously traveling fingers which engage an article intermediate its ends and fold the same. The fingers advance the articles to a station at which the folded articles are deposited as the fingers automatically withdraw from the folds. The folded articles may be abutted seriatim into a stack within an accumulator in the form of a conveyor traveling a speed considerably slower than the speed of the traveling fingers.
