Abstract:
A method for impression microengravings, which reproduce holograms, kinetic holograms, or diffraction patterns, directly on paper through an embossing process. Paper is subjected to a humidification step to give it a degree of humidity between 60 and 80% of relative humidity. The humidified paper is then passed through an embossing group, consisting of an embossing cylinder carrying the microengravings and a counterthrust cylinder, at a temperature and a pressure on the paper within the ranges of 90-220.degree. C. and 20-120 kg/mm.sup.2, respectively.
Abstract:
An embossing apparatus and method which provides a better embossed appearance and eliminates undesired roughness on the backside of the web material. Two plies are multilevel embossed between rigid engraved rolls and backup rolls, which may be either engraved or smooth. One rigid roll has embossing elements of varying heights and perforation elements, which run in a side-by-side relationship with the corresponding perforation elements on the opposing rigid roll in a nip region of the apparatus. The multiple plies are perforation bonded between the perforation elements, which are preferably the two highest elements, thus reinforcing the other multi-level embossed pattern formed in between the perforation bonds. The embossed patterns impart a quilt-like contoured appearance to the finished product.
Abstract:
A double-sided three dimensional embosssed web is provided by passing an uncured paper or plastic web (15), through a nip between an embossing roller (18) and a pressure roller (19), the pressure roller having a smooth and hard surface to create the effect of a double-sided three dimensional embossing on the web. Such double-sided embossing gives the web a good hand and feel and a good drapability, thereby making the method suitable for manufacturing cloth, curtains, diapers and other products which should feel soft and pleasant and which should have a good drapability comparable with that of knitwear and textiles. The embossed web has embossing or impressions (24) provided on two surfaces as a mirror image around a plane of symmetry (23) passing through the middle of the web (15). In the same way raised areas (26) are opposed by raised areas (26).
Abstract:
Embossing a web between unmatched male and female embossing elements, wherein the sidewall slope of the female element is different than the sidewall slope of the male element, provides an embossed web having markedly improved embossing pattern definition and, in the case of roll products, greater roll bulk at equivalent roll firmness. The unmatched male and female embossing elements are preferably made by laser engraving rubber embossing rolls.
Abstract:
An embossing roller has protruding lands extending radially outward from the surface of the roller to provide corresponding indentations in a thermoplastic surface to which the roller may be applied. A layer of resilient material underlies the lands so that when the roller is rolled over an irregular surface, individual lands, or groups of lands, may be depressed different amounts so that embossing indentations are formed in all portions of the surface. By applying adequate pressure to the roller, all of the lands are depressed at their points of contact when in contact with the surface if the surface is flat and regular. The lands are forced by action of the resilient material into contact with the bottom of any slight concavity in the surface and adapt to any slight convexity. In some embodiments, lands protrude outwardly from metal rings which encircle the roller. In other embodiments, lands are supported directly by the resilient material. In a method of using the roller, a surface is substantially simultaneously coated and embossed by first pressing against the surface a portion of a film web which carries a thermally transferable coating, then heating the web, the coating and the surface, and then rolling the embossing roller across the web and the surface. The heating and pressing steps may be carried out with heated resiliently surfaced rollers which travel ahead of the embossing roller.
Abstract:
A resurfaceable rotary die counter is prepared by employing a cylindrical counter core having a central, circumferentially extending relieved area filled with readily replaceable synthetic resin material containing pre-tensioned, spirally wound glass fiber roving which renders the resin craze and crack resistance even under extended continuous use. Economical counter production is possible because of preparation of the counter on the press during makeready using the die as a counter forming element. The resin is run in against the die prior to hardening of the same to form a reverse design surface in the counter which exactly mates with the die surfaces. A viscous resin having a minimum viscosity of about 6000 cps. is employed which has the characteristics of remaining on the counter core without substantial flow until ultraviolet cure can be effected. Fiber glass roving spirally wound under tension around the resin backed core during application of successive resin layers thereto provides a ten fold increase in strength over previously available systems.
Abstract:
The invention is directed to sleeves of high heat conductivity material being press fit on a water cooled shaft and held in position by pins and appropriate locking units of a specific torque.
Abstract:
A MULTI-PLY AND TWO-SIDES PAPER TOWELING IN WHICH ONE PLY IS MORE SEVERELY EMBOSSED THAN OTHER, THE PLIES BEING PREFERABLY ADHERSIVELY ATTACHED TO FACILITATE CUTTING, ASSEMBLING AND THE LIKE WITHOUT PLY SEPARATION. THE TOWELING HAS ONE RELATIVELY ROUGH AND ONE RELATIVELY SMOOTH OUTER SIDE. A FIRST TOWELING PLY HAVING THE SMOOTH OUTER SIDE IS EMBOSSED IN SUCESSIVE ROLLING PRESSURE NIPS AND ADHESIVE MAY BE APPLIED TO EMBOSSMENT PEAKS BETWEEN PRESSURE NIPS; THE SECOND TOWELING PLY HAVING THE MORE ROUGHENED OUTER SIDE IS PREFERABLY EMBOSSED AND SIMUL-
TANEOUSLY ADHESIVELY UNITED WITH THE FIRST PLY IN THE SECOND OF THE EMBOSSING NIPS. THE LATTER OF THE EMBOSSING NIPS IS PREFERABLY, ALTHROUGH NOT NECESSARILY, A LOWER PRESSURE NIP THAN IS THE FIRST, USUALLY JUST SUFFICIENT TO SECURE ADHESION, SUCH NIP MAY BE FORMED BY THE COOPERATION OF A STEEL CONFIGURATED ROLL WITH A BACKING ROLL OF RESILIENT MATERIAL SUCH AS RUBBER OR A FINE BISTLE BRUSH.
Abstract:
A LAMINATED TISSUE PRODUCT AS FOR PAPER TOWELING IS FORMED FROM AT LEAST TWO CREPED TISSUE WEBS BONDED IN SUPERPOSED REALTION BY ADHESIVE DISPOSED IN PATTERNED LINES DELINEATING SUBSTANIAL UNBONDED REGIONS. EACH OF THE WEBS IS EMBOSSED TO PRODUCE RAISED PORTIONS EXTENDING FROM ONE SURFACE THEREOF, AND THE RAISED PORTIONS OF ONE WEB OPPOSE RESPECTIVE RAISED PORTIONS OF THE OTHER WEB. THE RAISED PORTIONS ARE EMBOSSED IN PATTERNS ASSURING OPPOSED RELATION TO THE RESPECTIVE RISED PORTIONS AND PRECLUDING ANY SUBSTANTIAL NESTING OF THE WEBS IRRESPECTIVE OF THE RELATIVE LATERAL DISPOSITION OF THE WEBS. THE WEBS ARE JOINED UNDER DIFFERENT RESPECTIVE TENSIONS SO THAT, UPON RELAXING, THE WEBS ARE IN DIFFERENT CONDITIONS OF STRESS, AND ONE WEB IS OF GREATER AREA THAN THE OTHER.
