Patent number: 9975720Abstract: A method of forming a roll of convolutely wound web material. The method includes applying adhesive to an elongated mandrel, winding web material around the mandrel to form a roll of convolutely wound web material, rotating the mandrel relative to the roll to smear the adhesive, and removing the mandrel from the roll. The smearing can be in a circumferential direction. The adhesive can be applied longitudinally along the mandrel. The adhesive preferably has a viscosity within the range of 3000 to 18,000 cps. Preferably, the method includes pulling the mandrel longitudinally before the step of removing the mandrel from the roll. The pulling can reduce the mandrel diameter and/or can increase its length. The rotating can be conducted before the pulling, during the pulling or during the winding. The rotating can be conducted before or during the removing. The web material can be bathroom tissue or kitchen towel.Type: GrantFiled: January 25, 2016Date of Patent: May 22, 2018Assignee: PAPER CONVERTING MACHINE COMPANYInventor: Michael E. Techlin

Publication number: 20110095116Abstract: Coreless rolls of tissue, such as rolls of bath tissue or paper towels, are produced by winding tissue logs on a mandrel having retractable pins. During winding, the pins extend and penetrate the first several windings of the log as it is initially wound, which prevents slippage. After the winding is complete, the pins retract to allow the tissue log to slide off of the mandrel for subsequent slitting into individual product rolls and packaging. The penetration of the pins into the first several windings of the log tends to mechanically entangle and structurally unify those windings to create a “soft core”. At the same time, the properties of the tissue sheets within the soft core are the same as the other sheets within the roll and are therefore usable by the consumer.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 27, 2009Publication date: April 28, 2011Inventors: Frank Stephen Hada, James Leo Baggot, Robert Eugene Krautkramer, Steven James Wojcik

Publication number: 20110079671Abstract: Coreless tissue rolls can be produced without having to use an adhesive to form a hollow center. Instead, moisture can be used to promote light hydrogen bonding between the layers of the tissue web that line the hollow center. The hydrogen bonding provides sufficient structure to maintain the shape of the hollow center without rendering the tissue web surrounding the passageway unusable. Passageways can also be formed in accordance with the present disclosure that are substantially circular so that the rolls will easily spin on a spindle. In an alternative embodiment, moisture is not used in constructing the wound tissue roll.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 6, 2009Publication date: April 7, 2011Applicant: KIMBERLY-CLARK WORLDWIDE, INC.Inventors: Steven James Wojcik, Mark R.

Publication number: 20100308147Abstract: A composite reinforcing bar is formed from a series of inner rovings with first and second helical wrappings of at least one roving wrapped around the inner rovings in opposed directions of wrapping with the resin permeated therethrough. The bar structure is formed to allow torsional bending sufficient to allow the formed bar to be wound to form a coil of the bar wrapped a series of times around an axis at right angles to the length of the bar. The bar is forwarded into a rotating winding frame formed by a series of posts around a vertical rotation axis. The coil is held in place while the frame is removed for transporting the coil to a remote location. At the remote location the coil is placed in a similar winding frame and the bar is pulled from the coil and cut to a required length.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 3, 2009Publication date: December 9, 2010Inventor: Randel Brandstrom

Publication number: 20100270412Abstract: A web, such as a tissue or nonwoven web. Perforation lines in the web define sheets. The web is folded before being rolled or stacked, such that the intersection of the perforation lines and the folding line provides reliable dispensing. The web in roll or stack form, a method for forming the web, and a dispenser adapted for dispensing the web are also described.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 19, 2007Publication date: October 28, 2010Applicant: SCA HYGIENE PRODUCTS ABInventors: Kaveh Tondkar, Lars Fingal, Mikael Strandqvist, Susanne Gungner

Patent number: 7811648Abstract: Easy starting rolls of perforated tissue product which have a reduced tendency to ply separate are formed with an adhesively secured doubled over tail tab folded against the roll. The strength and location of the bonds are controlled by controlling the penetration of the adhesive into the tissue. The dry tensile strength of the projecting folded over tail tab exceeds 400 g/3? and the caliper thereof exceeds one mil The adhesive bonds are spaced away from lines of perforation joining sheets in the initial sheets of the roll.Type: GrantFiled: December 7, 2004Date of Patent: October 12, 2010Assignee: Georgia-Pacific Consumer Products LPInventors: Teresa M. Redmann, Richard D. Huss, Brian J. Schuh, Terry P. Witkowski

Patent number: 7770837Abstract: By the present invention method and apparatus is disclosed whereby a triaxial braided composite reinforcing fabric having axial yarns of varying length may be wrapped about a cylindrical shipping spool without deformation of the braided fabric. A tensioning device is interposed between the braiding tool and shipping or storage spool whereby the individual variable length axial yarns are subjected to constant tensioning. As the braided fabric is wound upon a cylindrical shipping spool, a conformable foam layer is interposed between each layer of braided fabric thereby permitting each axial yarn to seek out its own diameter by compressing the layer of conformable foam upon which it is wrapped.Type: GrantFiled: July 9, 2007Date of Patent: August 10, 2010Assignee: A&P Technology, Inc.Inventors: Andrew A. Head, Donald P. Exline, Christopher M. Olenick, Thomas C. Story

Patent number: 7740922Abstract: The invention relates to a process for producing pipe sleeves made of mineral wool for insulating pipelines or for reducing the sound level in pipeline systems, comprising the following steps: providing a nonwoven web (11) made of mineral wool which is provided with an uncured binder, winding up the nonwoven web (11) on a winding mandrel (2) of a winder, curing the binder. Here, at least one reinforcing layer (12, 13) is provided before the nonwoven web (11) runs into the winder, in such a way that during the winding the said reinforcing layer becomes a constituent part of the pipe sleeve produced as a result.Type: GrantFiled: April 14, 2004Date of Patent: June 22, 2010Assignee: Saint-Gobain IsoverInventors: Harald Ligtenberg, Anton Zysik, Jens Meyer, Volker Albrecht
