Abstract:
A paper toweling which provides a combination of strength, bulk and absorbency while presenting an attractive appearance. Included are a single ply paper towel having areas of light and heavy embossing perforations which form diamond shaped islands of heavy embossing perforations surrounded by intersecting bands of light bosses.
Abstract:
Tissue sheets, such as are useful for facial or bath tissue, can be embossed with a fine scale embossing pattern to increase bulk with a minimal loss in strength. The fine scale embossing pattern contains at least about 15 discrete intermeshing embossing elements per square centimeter (100 per square inch) and can enable the tissue manufacturer to produce premium quality tissues having adequate softness, bulk and strength from conventional tissue basesheets without layering or throughdrying equipment. Depending on the starting basesheet material, tissues having a unique balance of properties can be produced, especially for conventional wet-pressed basesheets.
Abstract:
The invention concerns a package padding and an apparatus for forming same. The package padding is continuous and web-like and formed of superimposed paper courses (1,2,3). On the substantial surface area of one paper course (2) has with a pair of shaping rolls (16,17) been embossed a cellular padding structure. The package padding comprises a punch joint region (5) formed with the aid of a pair of punch joint rolls (18,19), and an intact area (7) substantially free of punchings, the package padding being more bulky and fluffy in the region thereof than in the punch joint region (5). In the embossed paper course (2) have by means of the speed differential of the punching rolls (18,19) and the shaping rolls (16,17) been folded pleats (8) so that the package padding contains per unit length of the package padding a greater length of paper material of the second paper course (2) than of paper material of the first paper course (1).

Abstract:
A parachute having an orientable thermoplastic polymeric film material is provided with at least one stretched zone in which the material has been stretched in a first direction and, adjacent to the opposite sides of the zone, unstretched zones in which the material is substantially unstretched. The material is of particular value for preventing rupture of the canopy or the connecting straps.
Abstract:
An embossed paper laminate having two laminae. The laminae are embossed so that each embossed site of one lamina is adhesively joined to the nonembossed region of the other lamina. The laminate is made by two close tolerance pattern rolls juxtaposed to form a nip. Each pattern roll has radially extending protuberances which contact the periphery of the other pattern roll intermediate its protuberances. The laminae are fed through the nip in face-to-face relationship and are embossed and adhesively joined to the other lamina by the radially extending protuberances.
Abstract:
Orientable thermoplastic polymeric film material is provided with at least one stretched zone in which the material has been stretched in a first direction and, adjacent to the opposite sides of the zone, unstretched zones in which the material is substantially unstretched. The material is of particular value for preventing rupture of bags containing the material, especially when the zones are adjacent a seam in a filled sack and/or in the gusset of a gusset bag.
Abstract:
A method of embossing a sheet of non-woven fibrous web, e.g. toilet tissue, with a series of identical boss elements arranged in a uniform pattern in a manner to avoid nesting of the embossments and resulting non-uniform product rolls when the sheet is rolled onto a mandrel. The embossments are uniformly spaced in rows which in the longitudinal direction form an angle in the range of 15.degree. to 23.degree. relative to the edge of the sheet or roll and an angle in the range of 40.degree. to 57.degree. relative to the cross direction of the sheet or roll.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for manufacturing paper sheets having an appearance of being hand-made, the method comprising the steps of forming watermarks on a continuous web along longitudinal and transverse zones spaced according to the width and length of the paper sheets, drying the continuous web, crushing longitudinal and transverse regions of the dried continuous web within the watermarked longitudinal and transverse zones, respectively, tearing and separating the dried continuous web along the longitudinal and transverse crushed regions, respectively.
Abstract:
Embossing apparatus employing a grooved, finned, deformable outer element for defining a nip with an embossing roll, the deformable outer element having a durometer in the range of about 40 to about 80 shore "A".
