  • Bonded, differentially creped, fibrous webs and method and apparatus for making same
    Patent number: 4208459
    Abstract: A method is disclosed for forming a strong, soft, fibrous sheet material having substantial stretch in all directions in its own plane, by applying a pattern of bonding material to a fibrous web, adhering only portions of the web containing bonding material to a creping surface, removing the web from the creping surface by a creping blade to differentially crepe it, whereby a combination of high strength, softness, and bulk are imparted to the web. Sheet materials formed by the above method are also disclosed.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 12, 1976
    Date of Patent: June 17, 1980

  • Bonded, differentially creped, fibrous webs and method and apparatus for making same
    Patent number: 4158594
    Abstract: A method is disclosed for forming a strong, soft, fibrous sheet material having substantial stretch in all directions in its own plane, by formimg a web of cellulosic fibers having a basis weight of from about 5 to about 55 pounds per ream of 2,880 square feet, adhering one surface of the web to a creping surface in a fine pattern arrangement by a bonding material adhered to one surface of the web and to the creping surface in the fine pattern arrangement, and creping the web from the creping surface to form the sheet material. Sheet materials formed by the above method are also disclosed.

  • Absorbent articles
    Patent number: 4145464
    Abstract: A nonwoven absorbent structure usable by itself, as a wiper for example, or usable in combination with other elements, such as an internal absorbent member of a disposable diaper. The absorbent structure includes a dry-formed fibrous section in which the average fiber length is about 1.2 millimeters or longer, and a liquid-transmitting layer of particulate material associated with at least one surface of the fibrous section and having a density greater than that of the fibrous section. At least 50% of the particles, by weight, are of a size that will pass through a 48 mesh screen, and the particulate material is chemically bonded together to form the liquid-transmitting layer(s). Particles of the layer(s) are located between fibers at and adjacent the associated surface(s) of the fibrous section to form a zone in which particles and fibers are intermixed.
