Abstract:
A door skin featuring a facing (10) having an exterior surface (9) and an interior surface can be provided. A wood grain pattern portion can be formed in the exterior surface of the facing. The wood grain pattern portion can feature a plurality of grooves (14) formed in the exterior surface of the facing, the grooves are recessed from a first plane of the exterior surface, and tonal portions (16) formed in the exterior surface of the facing. The tonal portions can include at least a first depression (34), a second depression (36), and a third depression (38). The spacing between the first depression and the second depression can be different from the spacing between the second depression and the third depression. The depressions may have different depths.
Abstract:
A fibrous structure product comprising one or more plies of fibrous structure; a basis weight from about 10 lbs/3000 ft2 to about 50 lbs/3000 ft2; from 16% to about 40% of hardwood fibers, in one embodiment eucalyptus fibers, wherein the starting hardwood fibers have a Runkel Ratio of from 4.5 to about 15 and a fiber count of from about 12 fibers/gram to about 35 fibers/gram; and a Residual Water Value from about 0.001 to about 0.18. In one embodiment the product comprises two or more plies of fibrous structure, a basis weight from about 25 lbs/3000 ft2 to about 50 lbs/3000 ft2 and from about 23% to about 40% of hardwood fibers. In another embodiment at least one of the piles of the fibrous structure product further comprises a plurality of embossments thereon comprising an embossment height of from about 600 µm to about 1,200 µm.
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to a hydroentangled nonwoven fabric, and more specifically, to a lofty three-dimensional nonwoven fabric hydroentangled on a three-dimensional image transfer device, wherein the image imparted into the fabric comprises a distinctive internal void space lending to the loft and resiliency of the image.
Abstract:
A bulky sheet comprising a fiber aggregate formed by water needling of a fiber web is disclosed. The bulky sheet has a number of projections and depressions comprising the fiber aggregate. The projections and the depressions are formed both by rearrangement of the constituting fibers of the fiber aggregate by water needling of the fiber aggregate and by the multiple bending manner of the fiber aggregate along the thickness direction thereof. The projections and the depressions retain the shape thereof by themselves.
Abstract:
Free-flowing dunnage of molded pulp pieces having random, non-nestable shapes to insure the free-flowing characteristic, is made by a method and apparatus involving passing slurry from pulper (32) to multi-cavity molds (16) placed around a rotating molder structure (34) at the lower loading position, rotating said structure (34) to the drying position (46) and the partially dried pieces are removed at the removal position (48), and thereafter drying them free of form support to obtain random shapes. One preferred embodiment involves blowing intermediate pieces from the molds (16) onto a conveyor (50) for subsequent drying, such blowing and landing altering the intermediate piece shaped to enhance randomness in the shapes of the dunnage pieces, and another involves using heated air for partial drying.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to the utilization of plates (1, 2) having a thickness comprised between 1 and 10 mm and having a flexural resistance of about 20 N-mm of open cell product with a flow resistance comprised between 20 and 120 Rayl with respect to the acoustic absorption, arranged with respect to the sound-reflecting wall with a gap corresponding to a multiple of the plate thickness, the flexural resistance coefficient being reached by means of a sealed grid device so that the synthetic material mass which connects the grid fibers exposes concurrently (by thermal softening) the compound to the alveolar product plates (1, 2) connected on both sides by the surfaces with the coating of the grid (3) so that, despite an optimum binding of the alveolar product and the coating (3), an optimum homogeneity of the air permeability capacity is obtained throughout the surface.
