Abstract:
An apparatus for providing a multi-ply embossed paper product having a first pressure roll; an embossing roll with a plurality of embossing protrusions, each embossing protrusion comprises a distal end; an adhesive application roll; a marrying roll; and a second pressure roll. The first pressure roll and the embossing roll are juxtaposed in an axially parallel relationship to form a first nip therebetween. The first nip has a first nip width. The first pressure roll and the embossing roll are adapted to receive a first paper web at the first nip. The adhesive application roll and the embossing roll are juxtaposed in an axially parallel relationship to form a gap therebetween. The adhesive application roll and the embossing roll are adapted to receive the first paper web, after the first paper web has traversed the first nip, at the gap. The marrying roll is juxtaposed in an axially parallel relationship with the embossing roll to form a third nip therebetween. The marrying roll and embossing roll are adapted to receive the first paper web and a second paper web, after the first paper web has traversed the gap, and marry the first paper web to the second paper web at the third nip. The second pressure roll and the embossing roll are juxtaposed in an axially parallel relationship to form a second nip therebetween. The second nip has a second nip width, and wherein the second pressure roll and embossing roll are adapted to receive the first paper web and the second paper web, after the first paper web and the second paper web have traversed the third nip, at the second nip.
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 for producing an embossed web product comprising at least two plies (V1, V3) bone to one another by gluing, wherein: at least a first of said plies is embossed producing on it a first series of protuberances (P9) and a second series of protuberances (P10), the protuberances of the first series being of greater height than the protuberances of the second series; an adhesive (C) is applied to the protuberances of said first series; the first ply is glued to the second ply (V3), the protuberances (P9, P10) of the first ply projecting inside the web product, towards the second ply (V3). The protuberances of the first and of the second series form in combination with each other complex decorative patterns (D). Each complex decorative pattern is formed by at least a protuberance of the first series and at least a protuberance of the second series. Moreover, the complex decorative patterns are distributed with a density equal to or less than 2 patterns per cm2.
Abstract:
Embossing regularly textured sheets with an appropriate regular, discrete embossing pattern to improve softness can result in a combined texture that creates an interference pattern that camouflages the original texture pattern and the embossing pattern. The resulting pattern is more appealing to the eye and is more random in appearance than the initial textured sheet or the embossing pattern individually. This result is particularly advantageous for paper towels.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a device for embossing and/or glazing films. The device for embossing includes a first and second embossing roll, through which flat material can be fed under pressure, in order to create a pattern. An additional embossing roll is connected downstream of the second embossing roll, this additional embossing roll interacting with the first or preceding embossing roll. The patterned flat material may be fed between these embossing rolls, in order to be embossed again with essentially the same pattern. In a simplified embodiment, only a total of two rolls are used. In order to achieve as precise an embossing as possible, with special effects, the first driven embossing roll is provided with teeth, while at least one other embossing roll comprises rings or longitudinal ribs, or is smooth.
Abstract:
A sheet material including a strainable network formed in the surface of the sheet material. The strainable network includes first network areas and second network areas, the first network areas substantially surrounding the second network areas. The second network areas include geometrically deformable elements, and the first network areas define substantially unformed portions of the sheet material surrounding the second network areas. The deformable elements are geometrically deformable in plural directions generally parallel to the plane of the sheet material to provide the sheet material with a stretchable elastic-like characteristic in response to elongation forces applied to the sheet material in plural directions.
Abstract:
Multi-ply fibrous structure products, more specifically embossed multi-ply fibrous structure products and methods for making same are provided.
Abstract:
A sheet material web assembly includes a plurality of layers of sheet material web, with each layer having a plurality of embossments arranged in a pattern. The embossments in each layer are raised in the same direction and nest within the plurality of embossments in the other layers. A portion of the pattern of embossments further comprises a plurality of crimped embossments that bind the plurality of layers together.
Abstract:
A system for embossing and crimping a plurality of sheet material web layers, including a first, second and third roll. The first roll including at least one element extending radially therefrom. The second roll has a resilient surface that engages the element to form a first nip therebetween. The third roll has a non-resilient surface that engages the element to form a second nip therebetween. In a preferred embodiment, the first roll includes at least a first and second element extending radially therefrom, with the first element having a greater radial height than the second element, which avoids contact with the third roll. The layers of sheet material web are embossed by the first and second elements as they are passed through the first nip, and are crimped together by the first element as they are passed through the second nip. In a preferred embodiment, the first roll includes a plurality of first and second elements arranged in a pattern.
Abstract:
A method for forming rollers, particularly rollers for embossing paper webs, includes a first step of forming a series of protrusions and a second step of forming a pattern or design entailing the at least partial removal of a certain number of the protrusions.
