Patent number: 11634869Abstract: The present invention provides multi-ply creped tissue products, and in particular embodiments creped wet pressed tissue products, having substantially higher per-ply basis weights, such as from about 20 to about 30 gsm, without the negative effects often associated with higher basis weight. As such, the tissue products are generally soft and flexible, having a softness value (measured as TS7) less than about 12.0 and a Stiffness Index less than about 20. While being soft and flexible, the instant tissue products are durable enough to withstand use, such as having a GMT greater than about 600 g/3? and a Burst Index greater than about 12.0.Type: GrantFiled: March 24, 2021Date of Patent: April 25, 2023Assignee: Kimberly-Clark Worldwide, Inc.Inventors: Oriol Margo Moreno, John Alexander Werner, IV, Steven J. Hickey, Paul David Bradford, Cristiano Bobba, Giovanni Massarotti

Publication number: 20180229871Abstract: The present invention provides an apparatus and method for controlling the height of a clip of sheet material that is independent from the other steps of the manufacturing, converting and packaging operations. The invention comprises introducing positive pressure air flow after the clip has been at least partially inserted into a carton. Positive pressure air flow is provided in a direction substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the clip and transverse to the cut end of the sheet causing the clip to increase in height. The degree of increase may be controlled by controlling the positive air pressure, while the carton acts as a restraint for the clip.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 30, 2015Publication date: August 16, 2018Inventors: Christopher Lee Satori, Mike Thomas Goulet, Leslie Thomas Long, John Alexander Werner, IV

Patent number: 9499942Abstract: In general, the present disclosure is directed to creped tissue webs, and products produced therefrom. The creped webs and products are strong, soft, and have fine crepe structure, such as less than about 12, measured as % COV at a STFI wavelength of 16 to 32 mm, using the test method set forth herein. Fine crepe structure is achieved even at basis weights in excess of 16 gsm per ply.Type: GrantFiled: February 5, 2016Date of Patent: November 22, 2016Assignee: Kimberly-Clark Worldwide, Inc.Inventors: Kenneth John Zwick, Peter Lee Carson, Gary Lee Shanklin, Michael William Smaby, John Alexander Werner, IV, Michael John Rekoske, Mike Thomas Goulet, Thomas Joseph Dyer

Patent number: 9365982Abstract: It has now been discovered that the ratio of the wet tensile strength to the dry tensile strength of a tissue web, and more particularly a creped tissue web, can meet or exceed satisfactory levels without the excess use of a wet strength resin. For example, by treating the tissue making furnish with less than about 3 kilograms of wet strength resin per ton of furnish, forming the tissue web, and then creping the tissue web with a creping composition comprising a non-fibrous olefin polymer and a dispersing agent, a tissue web having a CD Wet/Dry ratio greater than about 0.30 may be produced. This discovery provides the flexibility to produce a tissue product with increased wet strength while reducing the add-on of wet strength agent.Type: GrantFiled: October 28, 2014Date of Patent: June 14, 2016Assignee: Kimberly-Clark Worldwide, Inc.Inventors: Elizabeth Oriel Bradley, Christopher Lee Satori, John Alexander Werner, IV, Kenneth John Zwick
