Abstract:
A device is provided to produce an embossed multi-ply material, comprising: a first embossing-laminating unit (3) comprising a first embossing cylinder (5) equipped with first projections (5P) defining a first pattern, a first pressure roller (7) cooperating with said first embossing cylinder (5), a first laminating roller (9) and a first glue dispenser (11), disposed between said first pressure roller (7) and said first laminating roller (9); an embossing unit comprising at least a second embossing cylinder (25) provided with second projections (25P) defining a second pattern and a second pressure roller (27) cooperating with said second embossing cylinder (25); a first path (P1) through said first embossing-laminating unit (3); a second path (P2) for at least a second ply (V2) towards and through said second embossing unit (23); a third path (P3) for said third ply (V3).
Abstract:
The present disclosure is directed to a fibrous core comprising a longitudinal core axis, an outer surface, an inner surface, a first open end, and a second open end. The first open end is opposite the second open end and defines a length therebetween. The fibrous core is positioned such that the longitudinal core axis is substantially perpendicular to a horizontal surface. The fibrous core also comprises indicia printed on the inner surface of the fibrous core. The indicia comprises at least one of a letter, a word, and a symbol. The indicia is positioned at a reading orientation.
Abstract:
The present disclosure is directed to a strip comprising a first edge and a second edge. The second edge is opposite the first edge. The strip also comprises a strip axis substantially parallel to at least one of the first edge and the second edge. The strip comprises a first strip face and a second strip face defined by the first edge and the second edge. The first strip face is opposite the second strip face. The strip also comprises indicia disposed on at least one of the first strip face and the second strip face. The indicia comprises at least one of a letter, a word, and a symbol. The indicia is positioned at a reading orientation.
Abstract:
Fibrous structures that exhibit a Geometric Mean Elongation of greater than 15.8% as measured according to the Elongation Test Method are provided.
Abstract:
Absorbent members and methods of making the same are disclosed. In one embodiment, the absorbent member is a unitary absorbent fibrous web having a density profile through its thickness. In one embodiment, the density profile of the fibrous web is skewed toward one of the surfaces of the fibrous web. In such embodiments, the maximum density of the web may be located outside of the central 30% zone of the thickness of the web. In one embodiment, the method involves subjecting a precursor web to at least one cycle (or pass) through a mechanical deformation process. Typically, the method involves subjecting the precursor web to multiples cycles (or passes) through a mechanical deformation process.
Abstract:
An embossing system for embossing and perforating at least a portion of a web is provided comprising a first embossing roll having embossing elements and at least a second embossing roll having embossing elements, wherein the elements of the first and second embossing rolls define perforate nips for embossing and perforating the web and wherein at least a predominate number of the perforate nips are substantially oriented in the cross-machine direction. Moreover, substantially all of the nips defined by the embossing elements of the first and second embossing rolls can be substantially oriented in the cross-machine direction. Further, the cross-machine embossing elements are at an angle of about 85° to 95° from the machine direction.
Abstract:
Fibrous structures that exhibit a Geometric Mean Elongation of greater than 14.95% as measured according to the Elongation Test Method are provided.
