  • Patent number: 8323453
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for the combination of at least two plies of tissue paper without glue and by pressure marking, characterized in that it involves embossing at least one first ply according to an embossing design by passage between a first cylinder and a second cylinder covered externally with a rubber blanket, then combining at least one second ply with the first ply by causing both plies to pass between the first engraved steel cylinder of axis CC? and at least one first series of small externally smooth coaxial cylinders of axis XX?. Both plies are then passed between the first cylinder and a second series of small externally smooth coaxial cylinders of axis YY?, the axes of CC?, XX?; and YY? being horizontal and parallel. The invention also includes the apparatus for carrying out the disclosed method.

  • Patent number: 8309204
    Abstract: A cut or precut absorbent sheet intended in particular for wiping includes at least two plies or groups of plies of creped absorbent paper with a basis weight ranging between 12 and 35 g/m2 per ply, at least one of the plies having an embossed pattern made up of protrusions directed towards the inside of the sheet and forming cavities between them. Some of the protrusions are distributed over at least one of the plies in such a way as to define portions of curves which in particular form concentric circles around or near the geometric center of the outline of the sheet; and the set of protrusions belonging to one ply of the sheet forms alignments which constitute an embossed pattern with central symmetry with respect to the geometric center of the outline of the sheet.

  • Patent number: 8246885
    Abstract: The invention relates to a process for manufacturing an absorbent sheet comprising at least two plies of cellulose wadding, consisting in combining said plies under pressure by passing between two steel cylindrical components, the first being smooth on the outside and the second being equipped with raised components on the outside and the hardness of the first cylindrical component being lower than that of the second cylindrical component. According to the invention, the first cylindrical component has a treated hardened surface layer and a deformable underlayer; the second cylindrical component has a hardened outer surface, and the sheet, when it passes between the two cylindrical components is compressed at a specific pressure between 40 and 250 N/mm2. Another subject of the invention is an assembly of steel cylindrical components intended for the manufacture of multiply absorbent sheets.

  • Publication number: 20120175455
    Abstract: A dispenser for paper, in particular absorbent paper, having a case in which at least two rolls of a paper web are housed. The case includes a base unit having at least a first housing and a second housing for holding respectively at least first and second rolls, and at least a first door and a second door installed on the base unit. The doors are designed, in the closed position, to respectively protect the first and second rolls and, in the open position, to provide access respectively to the first and second housings in order to reload them individually with rolls. The first and second doors have respectively a first and a second nozzle for dispensing the webs from the first and second rolls.

  • Patent number: 8216664
    Abstract: An embossed sheet is composed of at least a first and a second ply of creped tissue having a basis weight between 12 and 30 g/m2 according to which the first ply has a first embossed pattern composed of a series of first aligned protrusions of frustoconical overall shape, the tops of which are oriented towards the inside of the sheet, and the second ply has a first and a second series of protrusions, the tops of which are oriented towards the inside of the sheet, the second series having a height greater than that of the first series of protrusions. The protrusions of the first ply and the highest protrusions of the second ply are nested inside one another, and the lowest protrusions of the second ply are arranged between the protrusions of the first ply so as to create empty spaces between the two plies and promote a rapid absorption of liquid.

  • Publication number: 20120168064
    Abstract: The disclosure relates an apparatus and method for assembling at least two webs of tissue paper with or without marking of the webs. The apparatus and method utilize a multi-marrying roller configuration, which allows for assembling of the at least two webs of tissue paper by passing between the marrying roller and the second marrying roller. The apparatus and method make it possible to produce a conventional embossed product, or a smooth product without marking, having combined plies. In addition, the apparatus and method make it possible to easily move from one production mode to the other.

  • Patent number: 8181899
    Abstract: A dispenser, for dispensing a wound dry sheet of paper (F) made of tissue paper, comprising: a cylindrical body; support elements, lying approximately in the same plane P, for resting the dispenser on a horizontal plane; a slot in the cylindrical body for the sheet of paper (F) to exit; a guiding element for guiding the sheet of paper (F) outside the cylinder, associated with said slot, comprising two mutually parallel planes. According to the invention, the two planes are curved, in that the distance E between them is greater than twice the thickness Ep of the sheet of paper (F) and in that the length L of the guiding element, measured along the direction of pay-out of the paper, is equal to or greater than twice a minimum length Lm.
