  • Tail sealing and methods thereof
    Patent number: 9382086
    Abstract: A method for bonding the tail of a convolutely wound log to the body is provided. The method comprises the use of a nonadhesive phase-change material to mechanically bond the tail to the wound log. The nonadhesive phase-change material is heated to an amorphous state prior to its application. Once applied to the wound log, the nonadhesive phase-change material mechanical bonds with the tail and wound log and as heat is lost, changes to a non-amorphous state. The mechanical bond can be selectively reversed through the application of a strength degradation accelerator.
    Type: Grant

  • SHEET DISPENSING CARTON
    Publication number: 20130228588
    Abstract: A dispensing carton for interfolded sheets is disclosed. The carton has integral stationary means for enabling dispensing of the sheets through a single dispensing opening in a stationary wall portion of the carton to provide substantially droop-free pop-up dispensing of one sheet at a time. The carton has top, front, rear, bottom and end walls. The means for dispensing has means for defining a “T”-shaped dispensing opening having an elongate head portion which is centrally disposed in the top wall of the carton and which has a linear back edge, a stem portion that extends downwardly through a medial portion of the front wall of the carton, and a flared portion having arcuate edges disposed intermediate the head portion and the stem portion. The opening is configured to be sufficiently constrictive to enable substantially droop-free pop-up dispensing of one sheet at a time.
