Abstract:
A tissue product with at least four plies made of tissue paper base sheet or nonwoven comprises:
a first outer ply and a second outer ply and at least two inner plies between the first outer ply and the second outer ply, wherein only one of the inner plies is un-embossed; the outer plies comprise a micro-embossing pattern; at least one of the outer plies comprises a décor embossing pattern; and at least two adjacent inner plies comprise the un-embossed inner ply and one micro-embossed inner ply; wherein the density of the micro-embossed protrusions of the micro-embossed inner ply is different to the density of further embossed protrusions of the micro-embossing pattern of the outer ply which is adjacent to the micro-embossed inner ply.
Abstract:
Disclosed are embossed, multi-ply tissue products having consumer preferred physical properties and an aesthetically pleasing appearance. The products may have a first tissue ply having a molded topographical pattern and a first embossed pattern comprising a plurality of embossed elements disposed thereon, and a second tissue ply having a molded topographical pattern and a second embossed pattern comprising a plurality of dot emboss elements disposed thereon. The multi-ply tissue products generally have improved sheet bulk, such as a sheet bulk greater than about 15 cubic centimeters per gram (cc/g), and improved softness, such as an Average TS7 less than about 12.0 and more preferably less than about 11.0, such as from about 10.0 to about 12.0. The foregoing Average TS7 values may be obtained at a product geometric mean tensile strength (GMT) from about 800 to about 1,200 g/3″.

Abstract:
Products having improved emboss definition, emboss visibility, and perceived softness are described. The tissue products comprise an emboss pattern including multi-apex, high aspect ratio embossing elements that do not suffer from the prior art issues of bunching, puckering and folding. When included in a multi-ply product, the embossed tissue also possesses less adhesive than prior art patterns resulting in a product with improved softness and drape.
Abstract:
A process for manufacturing multi-ply disintegratable absorbent sheets is provided. Each said sheet includes at least five plies including two exterior plies and at least three interior plies. Each of at least three of the plies in the sheet is in at least one group of plies and each of the at least three plies is joined to another ply by mechanical deformation.
Abstract:
A sheet processing apparatus includes a first binding unit configured to bind a sheet bundle; a second binding unit with greater number of bindable sheets than number of bindable sheets of the first binding unit; and a number-of-sheets determining unit configured to determine whether number of to-be-bound sheets exceeds the number of bindable sheets of the first binding unit. The first binding unit moves to a binding position, and if the number-of-sheets determining unit determines that the number of to-be-bound sheets exceeds the number of bindable sheets of the first binding unit, the first binding unit moves away from the binding position. When the number-of-sheets determining unit determines that the number of to-be-bound sheets exceeds the number of bindable sheets of the first binding unit, the second binding unit moves to the binding position.
Abstract:
An edge embosser for converting paper tissue, having three processing stations, two for engraving (1) and (2) and one for joining (3), between which there are continuous strips of ordinary paper, wherein (P1) is a lower or inner strip and (P2) is an upper or outer strip, so that they can both be embossed with any pattern in the two first stations (1) and (2), and then both are joined by their edges through station (3) forming a finished continuous strip of paper (P3); each engraving station (1 and 2) comprises a pair of rolls, one made of rubber (4A-4B) and the other of engraved steel (5A-5B), where the latter are pulled by the corresponding continuous inner and outer strip of paper (P1 or P2) passing between each pair and guided by casters (6, 7, 8 and 9); said joining station (3) is placed after the two engraving stations (1-2), and it also comprises two rollers, a wheel roller (10) and a pulled counter-wheel roller (11), between which the continuous strips of paper (P1 and P2) are aligned, so that they can be joined by their edges and, thus, said wheel roller (10) presents, along its length, various rings (12) mounted on O-rings (13), each ring constituting the protruding means for supplementary pressure and the realization of the fastening bands by mechanical lamination (F).
Abstract:
The invention proposes an embossed sheet (10) comprising at least one ply (12) of tissue having an embossing pattern comprising at least one series of protuberances (18) formed projecting from one surface of the said ply (12) of tissue, and at least one ply joined to the said at least one ply (12) of tissue and located opposite the said surface of the ply (14) of water-soluble material, characterized in that the ply (14) of water-soluble material is joined to the said at least one ply (12) of tissue at the summits (18a) of at least part of the protuberances (18). The invention also proposes a method for manufacturing such a multi-ply sheet (10).
Abstract:
Visibility of ply-bonding created by glassining spot embossing on decorative pattern embossed tissue products is provided by obscuring the glassined spot embosses by distributing them along a meandering path through the decorative pattern, obscuring the edges of the glassined spot embosses by providing a gradual transition therefrom and combinations of the two techniques.
Abstract:
An object of the present invention is to provide an embossed crepe paper which can clearly be formed into fine embossed shapes, and is excellent in the fluffy feel and therefore excellent in such as absorbency for fats. As a means of achieving this object, the method for manufacturing an embossed crepe paper, according to the present invention, is a method for manufacturing an embossed crepe paper comprising a step of embossing a raw crepe paper, wherein: a raw paper having a basis weight of 6 to 28 g/m2 is used as the raw crepe paper; and the embossing step includes the steps of: (a) supplying the raw crepe paper with water in an amount of 0.1 to 100 weight % based on the basis weight to thereby put the raw crepe paper in a wet condition; (b) embossing the wet-conditioned raw crepe paper; and (c) drying the embossed wet-conditioned raw crepe paper.
