Abstract:
The perceived softness of embossed tissue can be increased greatly while avoiding nesting when a particular pattern is embossed into the tissue. This pattern combines relatively shallow stitchlike bosses with deeper more sharply defined signature bosses. The stitchlike bosses can be rounded and arranged in wavy flowing intersecting lines. The signature bosses can be arranged in regions framed by the intersecting wavy flowing lines.
Abstract:
Paper sheets, such as creped tissue sheets used for converting into tissue products such as facial tissue and bath tissue, can be softened with by passing the sheets through one or more fixed-gap noncompactive straining nips formed between two engraved rolls having partially-engaged small straining elements of a shape which strains the sheet in all directions. The straining treatment substantially reduces the rigidity of the tissue sheet by increasing the internal bulk without substantially reducing the tensile strength. The method provides a means for making a throughdried-like tissue sheet from a wet-pressed tissue sheet.

Abstract:
An embossed tissue having improved bulk and puffiness while being non-nesting by having a lattice pattern and at least two signature bosses. More particularly, one of the signature bosses is defined by embossments having a lower portion which is continuous and an upper portion which is defined by crenels and merlons.
Abstract:
This invention relates to the discovery that the perceived softness of embossed tissue can be increased greatly while avoiding prior art nesting problems if a particular pattern is embossed into the tissue. This pattern combines relatively shallow stitchlike debossments with deeper more sharply defined signature debossments. The stitchlike debossments are rounded and arranged in wavy flowing intersecting lines. The signature debossments are arranged in regions framed by the intersecting wavy flowing lines.
Abstract:
A converted product which is particularly high both in bulk and in perceived softness is produced by pre-embossing the plies individually, joining the plies and calendering and again embossing. In another example, the pre-emboss step is omitted.
Abstract:
A desirable embossing of a fibrous web (6) as dry laid on a forming sheet (2) is effected by the web (6) in a still unglued condition passing a pair of embossing producing rollers (18, 20) carried on or by a pressure resistant support sheet (16) as also passing between the rollers. Problems as to web fractures are hereby widely eliminated.
Abstract:
In the manufacture of a multi-ply fibrous web structure, each of a pair of plies of fibrous web material is provided with a pattern of relatively deep, primary, spot embossments each adherent to the opposite ply and surrounded by a pattern of relatively shallow, secondary, non-adherent spot embossments.
