Housing (6) features a nozzle (9) with a dispensing orifice (10), by means of which the paper strip (2) is unwound. The dispenser is characterized in that the nozzle (9) and the paper roll (3) are disposed in such a way that the paper sheets (5) unwind one by one and emerge with a reduced crumpling as they exit the nozzle (9), the width of a sheet (5) is between 125 mm and 180 mm, and the ratio of the width of a sheet (5) to its length is between 0.45 and 1, preferably between 0.5 and 0.65, the paper being consumed optimally and in a pleasant manner.

Abstract: This invention relates to paper rolls for sanitary or home use intended to operate in conjunction with a dispensing system. According to one essential feature of the invention, the roll includes internally a means intended to brake its unwinding. Thus, the consumption of paper may be controlled.

Abstract: A material control groove is pressed into one of the lateral faces of a dispenser roll of absorbent paper in the form of a continuous sheet rolled about an axis forming helical coils, provided in the form of a groove defining a closed contour about the axis such that the width of the sheet forming the coils spaced axially inward of the groove is reduced by displacement of portions of the continuous sheet in a direction parallel to the axis.

Abstract: A method for measuring the rigidity of paper or other products made from cellulose fibers wherein the paper is torn and a digitized sound recording is made during the tearing process which is then analyzed to determine the percentage of time during which characteristic frequencies are present during the tearing process. It has been found that this percentage correlates well with rigidity.

Abstract: The invention provides an embossed sheet (10) consisting of at least one ply of crêped cellulose wadding with a grammage of between 12 and 30 g/m2 of the type with an embossed pattern (16, 18) comprising at least a first series of protuberances (16) formed so as to project from one face of the ply (14) and the density of which is greater than 20 e protuberances per cm2, characterized in that each protuberance (16) of the first series comprises a truncated polyhedron-shaped base (28) and a flattened free-end portion (30) with rounded edges.

Abstract: This invention relates to a method for the production of a coreless roll (110?) including a sheet (110) of flexible, not moist, material such as a fibrous absorbent material, produced by winding of the sheet in one direction and rolling this sheet about a winding axis perpendicular to such direction, and including a central dispensing leader forming a projection along such axis relative to at least one part of the plane of one of the sides of the roll. The method is characterized in that the leader is produced by displacing a portion of the end of the sheet (110) before winding so that one of the longitudinal edges of the sheet forms an angle (?) other than zero relative to such direction of winding, after which winding of the sheet about the axis is initiated. By preference several sheets are produced by longitudinal cutting of a wide sheet. The solution may be applied for production in particular of general wipe rolls, hand towel rolls, or toilet paper rolls.

Abstract: The toilet paper dispenser as claimed for the invention including a housing (6) in which is housed a roll (3) of a paper strip (2), which has perforations transverse to strip (2) defining rectangular paper sheets (5) whose width is transverse and whose length is longitudinal. Housing (6) features a nozzle (9) with a dispensing orifice (10), by means of which the paper strip (2) is unwound. The dispenser is characterized in that the nozzle (9) and the paper roll (3) are disposed in such a way that the paper sheets (5) unwind one by one and emerge with a reduced crumpling as they exit the nozzle (9), the width of a sheet (5) is between 125 mm and 180 mm, and the ratio of the width of a sheet (5) to its length is between 0.45 and 1, preferably between 0.5 and 0.65, the paper being consumed optimally and in a pleasant manner.

Abstract: The invention relates to a product of fibrous materials imparting a sense of freshness on coming in contact with the skin. It is characterized in that it includes, at least in part on the surface, 0.1 g/m2 to 20 g/m2 of an agent including a fatty acid ester or mixture of such esters the carbon chain of which is C10-C14 and of alcohol the carbon chain of which is C10-C14. In particular, the agent can melt at a temperature of 20° C. to 37° C. and includes at least 60% of such ester or esters, the remainder being selected from among solvents, fatty acid esters, fatty alcohols, or mineral oils. Specifically, the agent includes at least the dodecylic ester of dodecanoic acid.

Abstract: This invention relates to a sheet comprising at least a first ply P1 and a second ply P2 superimposed on one another and made of absorbent paper, such as tissue paper, each ply having a grammage of between 10 and 40 g/m2, the first ply presenting on its outer side cavities formed by embossing, corresponding to protuberances on its other side adjacent to the second ply. The sheet is characterized in that the first ply P1 comprises first zones A1 forming cells with first cavities (12), the cells being surrounded by second zones A2 with second cavities (18), the first zones A1 being in relief on the outer side in relation to the second zones A2 with a level difference NA, the first zones A1 presenting a contour D with a marking line. The invention also relates to the embossing device permitting such a sheet product to be obtained. The product of the invention is applicable to the manufacture of paper for sanitary or household use.
