Closure includes body, first wall movably connected to body at first edge of first wall; and second wall movably connected to body at first edge of second wall. First and second wall are urged toward each other to respectively position second edges of first and second walls opposite to first edges in a blocking position in which sliding of closure into first or second position is blocked until a predetermined amount of paper of second or first roll, respectively, has been dispensed. Closure includes first and second spring urging first and second walls, respectively, toward each other, spring force of first and second springs being configured to automatically return closure into first or second position, respectively, when sliding of the closure into first or second position, respectively, is blocked.

Abstract: A wearable absorbent hygiene article includes an electronics unit, a power source and a magnetic switch. The magnetic switch operably couples the electronics unit to the power source. The magnetic switch is configured such that the power source supplies power to the electronics unit when the magnetic switch is in an ON state and such that the power source does not supply power to the electronics unit when the magnetic switch is in an OFF state. The magnetic switch is further configured such that a movement of a magnet relative to the magnetic switch switches the magnetic switch from the OFF state to the ON state.

Abstract: An imprinted or compressed sheet material can be produced by subjecting a pre-dried composite material to an energy transfer step in which the sheet material is passed between an energy-emitting device and a patterned anvil. An oil is applied to the anvil after the passing of the sheet material and the applied oil is removed from the anvil before the next passing of the sheet material. An apparatus for continuously producing such a sheet material includes a patterned anvil roll, an energy transmitter emitting ultrasound energy to the anvil roll, a means for applying an oil over the breadth of the anvil roll and a means for removing oil from the roll downstream of the means for applying the oil.

Abstract: A patterned hydroentangled nonwoven sheet material contains at least 25 wt. % of cellulosic pulp, in which a surface area of between 1 and 20% of at least one surface has been imprinted to form a decorative or informative pattern discernible by at least one of visual or tactile differences between imprinted and non-imprinted areas. The patterned nonwoven sheet material can be produced by forming a fibrous web including thermoplastic fibres and cellulosic pulp, hydroentangling the fibrous web to form a nonwoven sheet material and drying, and then subjecting the dried nonwoven sheet material to an imprinting action provided by an energy transmitter, in particular using ultrasonic energy, on a patterned anvil at a temperature of less than 100° C. to form a patterned nonwoven sheet material.
