Patent number: 9382086Abstract: A method for bonding the tail of a convolutely wound log to the body is provided. The method comprises the use of a nonadhesive phase-change material to mechanically bond the tail to the wound log. The nonadhesive phase-change material is heated to an amorphous state prior to its application. Once applied to the wound log, the nonadhesive phase-change material mechanical bonds with the tail and wound log and as heat is lost, changes to a non-amorphous state. The mechanical bond can be selectively reversed through the application of a strength degradation accelerator.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2014Date of Patent: July 5, 2016Assignee: The Procter & Gamble CompanyInventors: Gustav Andre Mellin, Eric Joseph Biegger, Victoria Grace Strain, Wesley Bernard Brokopp, Jr., David Mark Rasch, James Max Smith
