Abstract:
The web embossing machine of the present invention has two embossing cylinders brought close to one another for combining two paper webs by the pressure contact between mutually corresponding protrusions on the two cylindrical surfaces. The protrusions are in rows which present a pattern inclined relative to the axes of the respective cylindrical surfaces, i.e., in a helicoidal fashion and relative to a plane passing at right angle through said axes, and thus achieve a subsequent and progressive contact instead of a simultaneous contact throughout the row. The inclination relative to a plane passing at right angle through the cylinder axis avoids repetitive pressure actions on the pressure rollers cooperating with the embossing cylinders.
Abstract:
A patterned marrying roll especially adapted to combined multiple plies of a tissue sheet at a nip between the marrying roll and an embossing roll. The marrying roll is provided with a pattern of raised laminating elements covering a predetermined percentage of the marrying roll surface which are caused to bear against the raised embossing elements of an embossing roll with the plies of a pillowed tissue sheet therebetween. The pattern of raised elements on the marrying roll surface may be in the form of dots, a recticular grid pattern, or any other pattern of choice. The pattern is preferably aligned at an angle to the machine direction to eliminate bunching or puckering of the tissue sheet between pattern elements. The pattern on the marrying roll may comprise from approximately 10% to approximately 40% of the marrying roll surface. The invention is intended primarily for use in laminating plies of a "pillowed" cellulose sheet together, but may also be advantageously used in the lamination of "nested" sheet plies.
Abstract:
A base product for a textile replacement such as paper garments, paper sheets, etc. in which a scrim-like material is confined between adjacent webs which are equipped with nested embossemnts.
