Abstract:
There is provided a sheet post-processing apparatus capable of performing eco-stapling processing to prevent a decrease in binding force by the thickness of a sheet with a simple arrangement by changing a stapling count depending on the grammage and size of a sheet and the number of sheets in consideration of the change in binding force caused by the sheet size.
Abstract:
In the case of a paper bag having a bag wall (1), which separates an inner bag space from an outer space and has at least one visible side (1a) visible from the outer space and an invisible inner side (1b) of a paper layer which is provided with an embossment (9) in the form of at least one symbol, good visibility of the embossment (9) is combined with gentle treatment of the paper fibers of the paper layer by virtue of the fact that the embossment (9) the embossment (9) is embodied in the form of a surface (10) which is elevated with respect to a plane (12) adjacent to the embossment (9) on the visible side (1a) and, corresponding thereto, as a depression which is present with respect to a plane of the inner side adjacent to the embossment (9) on the inner side (1b), that the elevated surface (10) on the visible side (1a) is connected to the plane (12) of the visible side (1a) by means of a connecting wall (11), and that the transition of the elevated surface (10) to the connecting wall (11) and the transition of the connecting wall (11) to the plane (12) of the visible side (1a) have a rounded form, and that the thickness of the paper layer in the region of the embossment (9) is at most 20% smaller than the thickness of the paper layer in the plane (12) adjacent to the embossment (9). An embossment (9) of this type is preferably produced by virtue of the fact that the embossment (9) is formed by guiding the bag wall (1) between an embossing tool (1) and a pressure-exerting tool (3) provided with an elastically compliant surface (5), the embossing tool (2) having the at least one symbol (4) in a depressed formation, such that the paper layer is pressed into the symbol (4) of the embossing tool (1) into the pressure-exerting tool (3) during the embossing operation.
Abstract:
A supply of consecutive associated sheets in which at least first and second sheets in immediately preceding and succeeding relationship respective bear first and second arrangements of one or more design features is disclosed. The first and second arrangements differ from one another in one or more respects such that the second arrangement is not a substantial replicate of the first arrangement. The design features form part of a design pattern having a repeat length in the machine direction greater than the average sheet length in the machine direction, and a repeat length in the cross direction greater than the average sheet width in the cross direction.
Abstract:
An embossing system for embossing at least a portion of a web is provided comprising a first embossing roll having male embossing elements, a second embossing roll having male embossing elements, wherein the first and second embossing rolls define a first nip for receiving the web, and a third embossing roll having male embossing elements, wherein the second and third embossing rolls define a second nip for receiving the web, and wherein at least a substantial portion of the embossing elements of at least one of the first, second, and third embossing rolls are substantially oriented in the cross-machine direction.
Abstract:
Embossed sheet materials are disclosed. In accordance with the present disclosure, the embossing pattern includes at least one line element that has a gradually decreasing depth. The gradually decreasing depth has been found to alter the shadow characteristics of the embossing pattern thus creating a line in the embossing pattern that appears to decrease in line weight. The decrease in line weight is accomplished without having to change the width of the embossment, although the width can also be changed in conjunction with the depth. Being able to incorporate line weight variations into embossing patterns can dramatically improve the aesthetic appeal of the patterns.
Abstract:
An embossing system for embossing at least a portion of a web is provided comprising a first embossing roll having male embossing elements, a second embossing roll having male embossing elements, wherein the first and second embossing rolls define a first nip for receiving the web, and a third embossing roll having male embossing elements, wherein the second and third embossing rolls define a second nip for receiving the web, and wherein at least a substantial portion of the embossing elements of at least one of the first, second, and third embossing rolls are substantially oriented in the cross-machine direction.
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:
A method of imparting bulk and/or visual aesthetics to a tissue basesheet involves pressing the basesheet with a felt having a raised pattern on it so that the pattern becomes inherent in the sheet. A pattern is stitched into a carrier layer which is joined to a substrate to form the felt. As the basesheet is pressed into the felt, the raised pattern displaces fibers in the sheet, effectively inducing the pattern in the basesheet. The novel felt with a raised patterned layer is also disclosed.
Abstract:
A multi-layered paper product that has bridging regions for inhibiting nesting is provided. For example, the paper product can contain a first and second layer that define ridges and valleys. Bridging regions are formed into at least one of the outer surfaces of the layers. In particular, the bridging regions are positioned at an angle of between about 0° to about 180° relative to the ridges and also have a length sufficient to extend between the peaks of at least two of the ridges. The bridging regions can be formed in a variety of ways, such as with an embossing roll that contains embossing elements. Moreover, the bridging regions can also have a variety of shapes, sizes, orientations, and/or patterns.
