Abstract:
A paper sheet having several distinct layers comprised of at least two plies of paper glued together in discrete areas and characterized by having patterns which correspond to areas of reduced thickness on both outer surfaces of the plies of paper.
Abstract:
This invention relates to the discovery that the perceived softness of embossed tissue can be increased greatly while avoiding prior art nesting problems if a particular pattern is embossed into the tissue. This pattern combines relatively shallow stitchlike debossments with deeper more sharply defined signature debossments. The stitchlike debossments are rounded and arranged in wavy flowing intersecting lines. The signature debossments are arranged in regions framed by the intersecting wavy flowing lines.
Abstract:
An apparatus for manufacturing embossed foil for use in controlling the flow of the molten metal tin plating provided in forming laminated tape for use in superconducting magnets utilizing meshing knurling rollers with truncated paramydical elements arranged to provide and embossed pattern for uniform and controlled flow of the tin.
Abstract:
A converted product which is particularly high both in bulk and in perceived softness is produced by pre-embossing the plies individually, joining the plies and calendering and again embossing. In another example, the pre-emboss step is omitted.
Abstract:
The absorbent laminated sheet is composed of at least two plies (1.9), embossed, constituted essentially of cellulose fibers, bonded together at least partially by means of protruding elements relative to the surface of said plies and pointing inward to the sheet; it is characterized in that the protruding elements (101) are positioned essentially according to lines or combinations of lines reproducing spaced motifs (100), which recur indefinitely.Application as domestic or sanitary paper.
Abstract:
A method of laminating a two-ply product wherein the plies are laminated to one another and adhered to a creping surface in the same pattern. A first ply is directed about a patterned pressure and imprinting roll and laminating adhesive is applied to the first ply in a pattern corresponding to the pattern of the pressure roll. A second ply is brought into contact with the first ply, and the composite web is adhered to a creping surface with a creping adhesive at a nip formed between the creping surface and the patterned pressure roll. The composite web is creped from the creping surface in a pattern corresponding to the pattern of lamination. When creped, the densified laminated/creped portions add strength to the resulting product, while between the densified areas the webs are not adhered to one another and the void areas therebetween provide sites for water absorption. In a second embodiment, an endless fabric or belt may be directed about a smooth pressure roll, such that the knuckles of the fabric laminate the plies to one another and adhere the composite web to the creping cylinder in the same pattern.
Abstract:
A heated roll member especially adapted to provide a uniform temperature surface for embossing or calendering low basis weight cellulose or polymeric webs. The roll member comprises outer and inner shells with an annular chamber therebetween and apertures in the inner shell which introduce fluid into or remove fluid from the annular chamber. Specially constructed apertures, each provided with a flow diverting means, produce fully turbulent flow in a heated fluid moving axially within the annular chamber. A controlled level of turbulence in the fluid is initiated at the aperture and is maintained throughout the annular chamber, such that "hot" or "cold" areas do not develop on the surface of the outer shell.
Abstract:
A bulky paper having sufficiently high bulkiness and strength as well as a good dimensional stability is provided by inserting a plastic film between a pair of crepe papers, and passing the assembly through the nip of heated embossing rolls to cause a partial adhesion of the plastic film with the crepe papers. Thereafter, the paper may be moistened to extend the crepe and the composite heated to shrink and/or melt the film to form perforations therein. The perforations reduce the noisiness of the composite when it is used as a towel or wipe.
Abstract:
An apparatus and method for producing synthetic leather comprising the manipulative steps of impregnating, drying and coagulating, shrinking, washing and finally drying a fiberous web.
Abstract:
IMPROVED SOFTNESS, SURFACE SMOOTHNESS AND LIMPNESS IN TISSUE PAPER IS ATTAINED WITH A MINIMUM OF TISSUE PAPER SHEET STRENGTH LOSS. THE TRAVELING TISSUE PAPER, THAT IS CREPED WADDING, IS SUBJECTED TO A NIP BETWEEN A BRUSH ROLL AND A PATTERNED BACKING ROLL AT CONTROLLED RELATIVE SPEEDS OF THE SHEET, PATTERNED BACKING ROLL AND BRUSH. THE SHEET SPEED IS LESS THAN THE PERIPHERAL SPEED OF THE BRUSH ROLL BUT GREATER THAN THAT OF THE BACKING ROLL SO THAT THE SHEET IS WORKED BY THE BRUSH AND PATTERNED BACKING ROLL AS IT SLIPS RELATIVE TO THE PATTERNED BACKING ROLL.
