Abstract:
Embossing regularly textured sheets with an appropriate regular, discrete embossing pattern to improve softness can result in a combined texture that creates an interference pattern that camouflages the original texture pattern and the embossing pattern. The resulting pattern is more appealing to the eye and is more random in appearance than the initial textured sheet or the embossing pattern individually. This result is particularly advantageous for paper towels.
Abstract:
Method for producing a multi-ply web (19) of flexible material, such as paper and nonwoven material, including at least one first (1) and one second ply (8) which are interconnected by gluing in a glue pattern (12;24). The multi-ply web is produced by applying glue in a glue pattern to a first web shaped material (1) from a patterned glue transfer roll (5), laminating a second web shaped material (8) with the first web shaped material (1) in a press nip between a lamination roll (10) and an impression roll (7). After lamination the laminated web (19) is cut and/or perforated (22;25) in register with the glue transfer and lamination while still residing on the impression roll (7). There is also provided a multi-ply web which is cut or perforated in a pattern (22;25) which is in register with the glue pattern (12;24).
Abstract:
A web product including one or more plies, the web product having a first side and a second side, the web product including a plurality of discrete embossments extending from the first side to the second side; and at least one linear embossment extending from the second side to the first side, wherein the web product has an average embossment height of greater than about 650 μm.
Abstract:
A web substrate comprising a plurality of embossment regions and an embossment pattern for a web substrate are disclosed. Each of the embossment regions is bounded by a first axis and a second axis orthogonal thereto. Each of the first axis are collectively elongate and each of the second axis are collectively parallel and discontinuous.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a device for embossing and/or glazing films. The device for embossing includes a first and second embossing roll, through which flat material can be fed under pressure, in order to create a pattern. An additional embossing roll is connected downstream of the second embossing roll, this additional embossing roll interacting with the first or preceding embossing roll. The patterned flat material may be fed between these embossing rolls, in order to be embossed again with essentially the same pattern. In a simplified embodiment, only a total of two rolls are used. In order to achieve as precise an embossing as possible, with special effects, the first driven embossing roll is provided with teeth, while at least one other embossing roll comprises rings or longitudinal ribs, or is smooth.
Abstract:
A graphic arts die and support plate assembly is provided that is adapted to be mounted as a unit on the chase of a flat bed or rotary graphic arts press. The assembly includes a plurality of spaced individual dies fixedly mounted in predetermined relative relationship on a support plate member of the unit. Alignment holes in each die that register with orifices in the support plate member are adapted to receive temporary alignment pins thereby assuring correct positioning of the dies with respect to one another on the support plate member until the dies are affixed to the support plate member. Makeready and die lock-up time of the press is significantly decreased because all dies of the assembly may be preregistered with a design artwork before mounting of the die and support assembly on the press. A series of graphic arts die units are also provided that are adapted to be mounted as an assembly encompassing more than 180° of the circumference of a rotary press chase. The graphic arts die units have die support plate members that may be aligned with indicia on the press chase, and that have notch structure receiving a tool for facilitating alignment and spacing between adjacent die support plate members. Cutouts in the die support plate members permit manual selective shifting of a die relative to the die support plate member therefor using a tool received in a cutout and engageable with the die.
Abstract:
The invention relates to an embossed sheet 10 made up of at least a first and a second ply 12, 14 of creped cellulose cotton of the type in which the first ply 12 has an embossed design 16 involving a first series of first projections 18 that form in particular first alignments and in which the apexes 32 are connected to the internal face 24 of the facing second ply 14 characterized in that these two plies 12, 14 each have a second embossed design 36 involving a second series of second projections 38, 40, and by the fact that the apexes 42, 44 of the second projections 38, 40 of a ply 12, 14 extended outward and are facing and near apexes 44, 42 of the second projections 40, 38 of the other ply 14, 12.
Abstract:
Method for producing a multi-ply web comprising at least three plies of flexible material, such as paper and nonwoven material and a multi-ply product produced according to the method. A first and second ply are glued together with a first glue pattern and a second and third ply are glued together with a second glue pattern which is applied offset with respect to the first glue pattern.
Abstract:
A method of embossing an absorbent web with a machine direction undulatory structure is described. The web has a plurality of ridges extending in its machine direction occurring at a frequency, F, across the web and the method includes providing the web to an embossing station where the web is embossed between a first and second embossing roll, each of which rolls may be provided with a plurality of embossing elements configured to define a plurality of embossing nips. At least a portion of the embossing nips are substantially oriented in a cross-machine direction with respect to the web and have a cross direction length, L. The product F×L is from about 0.1 to about 5.
Abstract:
The invention relates to an absorbent paper product, such as a napkin or tissue, including at least two tissue paper plies which are superposed and joined, cut or precut into a desired format and connected to one another at least over a segment of a peripheral zone. The plies are joined along the segment by marking patterns without resort to glueing and at least one ply is fitted with embossing patterns in a central zone. The invention applies to sanitary and household papers, in particular disposable napkins and tissues.
