摘要： Embodiments of the present invention provide new and improved folding apparatuses and methods for interfolding a continuous stream of sheets into a single-fold interfolded pattern of sheets while passing all of the sheets substantially along a single sheet path. More particularly, all sheets in the continuous stream of sheets pass through the nips between adjacent components.

摘要： Apparatuses and methods of forming discrete stacks of a plurality of zig-zag folded panels are provided. The apparatus and methods include defining a sheet to form all of the panels of the discrete stack of panels. The sheet may be defined by cutting the sheet from the web prior to folding the web into the interconnected panels for each sheet. The sheet may be defined by forming a separation line prior to folding the web into the interconnected panels for each sheet and then separating the sheet from the web of material at the separation line after the web of material is folded into the interconnected panels.

摘要： An interfolding apparatus and method, utilize, first and second sheet-cutting-and-overlapping arrangements and an interfolding arrangement simultaneously mounted and operatively interconnected in a common frame, for alternatively selectively forming a first or a second interfolded pattern having a given folded width, without replacement of components of the interfolding apparatus. The first interfolded pattern is formed from a first stream of overlapped sheets of a first length cut from a web of sheet material fed along a first path extending through the first sheet-cutting-and-overlapping arrangement to the interfolding arrangement. The second interfolded pattern is formed from a stream of overlapped sheets of a second length cut from the web of sheet material fed along a second path extending through the second sheet-cutting-and-overlapping arrangement to the interfolding arrangement.

摘要： A rewinder having a first winding roll that transports and supports the web, and a second winding roll located a distance from the first winding roll to define a nip therebetween. The rewinder also include at least one core support plate that is curved for receiving and guiding cores adjacent the first winding roll, a contact finger located adjacent the first winding roll, and a web separation bar adjacent the first winding roll and movable into pressing relationship with the web to press the web against the contact finger to separate the web. In some embodiments, the contact finger is recessed within the first winding roll such that the web separation bar presses the web only against the contact finger to separate the web.

摘要： An apparatus and method for applying adhesive in a web converting machine is disclosed. In some embodiments, an adhesive application assembly is used to seal the tail of a rolled product against the rolled product. After being positioned in a location upon a roller, the rolled product is rotated and a sensor detects the location of the tail end, thereby establishing a reference for determining tail length in later operations. When the tail reaches a desired position, the adhesive application assembly applies adhesive to the tail and/or rolled product. In some embodiments, the adhesive assembly includes one or more adhesive sprayers with aperture members, and is self-cleaning. After the adhesive has been applied, the tail is wound upon the rolled product. In some embodiments, an adhesive application assembly is employed to apply adhesive to a core about which sheet material is to be wound.

摘要： A flying web splice apparatus and method for splicing a moving web of material to another web of material without tape or adhesives being used at the splice. Two splicer assemblies are provided which each have a rotatable parent roll feeding web material into the splicer apparatus. Each splicer assembly has a series of substantially parallel vacuum belts and a series of vacuum boxes therein. The vacuum boxes for each splicer assembly are evacuated by a vacuum blower, which creates a vacuum causing a suction through holes within a portion of the vacuum belts in order to hold web material to the vacuum belts. The series of belts for each splicer assembly are preferably rotatable about a top pivot to bring a bottom portion of each series of belts together. Preferably, at the bottom portions of each series of belts is located a pressure bonding mechanism, such as a series of ply-bond wheels, which bond the webs of material together when the bottom portions of the series of belts are brought together (preferably via one or more actuators). A stationary web from a parent roll is first placed over holes in one of the vacuum belts, which is then driven by a motor to drag the vacuum belt and web along part of its belt path and toward the pressure bonding mechanism. By the time the initially-stationary web reaches the actuated pressure bonding mechanism, the initially-stationary web is at the speed of the initially-moving web and can be precisely spliced thereto.

摘要： A rewinder log control for decelerating soft paper logs including a pair of log control fingers having opposed distal concave portions defining a cylindrical cavity for contacting a spinning log after a rewinding operation. The log control fingers also have proximal convex portions for nesting in adjacent diameter control roll grooves to permit positioning the log control fingers out of the way for core insertion and log rewinding. A cam plate having a cam track is mounted on the rewinder machine frame and a cam follower coupled to the log control fingers moves along the track as the machine moves through its rewinding cycle to move the fingers between a first or clearance position and a second or deceleration position.
