Abstract: A log saw for cutting convolutely wound logs of web material is disclosed. The log saw includes a cutting blade operating in a cutting plane, a log saw clamp for the retention of a convolutely wound log of web material such that the convolutely wound log of web material extends in a log advancing path through to the cutting plane, and controls connected to the clamping device.

Abstract: A pressing roller is provided including an inner core and a roller cover structure where the roller cover structure is divided into segments. Each roller cover segment may have a rigid inner ring, an elastomeric outer ring, and a deformable coupling structure located between the inner ring and the outer ring. The deformable coupling structure may be formed from a shape memory alloy, a carbon fiber composite, or nylon.

Abstract: A folding apparatus is provided to be positioned adjacent a conveyor along which product having a flexible film wrapper wrapped about the product moves adjacent the folding apparatus such that the folding apparatus effects the folding of a first flap of the wrapper. The folding apparatus comprises a passive folding device comprising a first passive folding member defining a first passive folding surface adapted to engage the first flap as the product and the film wrapper move in a machine direction and folding the first flap from a first position away from the product to a second position adjacent the product.

Abstract: Described herein is an array of finished products, each finished product in said array may have a Percent Compressibility of greater than 3.00% and an actual length ranging from about 10.955 inches to about 11.045 inches. The finished products may be paper towels, where the actual length is different for at least two finished products of the array and where at least one of the finished products of the array of finished products may comprise a protruding core and where at least one of the finished products may comprise a hidden core, and where each of the finished products are in a package.

Abstract: A web of toilet tissue that includes a shaped line of weakness, wherein toilet tissue exhibits a LWP Factor of greater than about 7.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to packaging apparatuses and methods adapted to wrap absorbent paper product in a continuous sheet of film formed into tube shape with an asymmetric opening. A former may include a plurality of forming members, wherein each forming member includes an outer surface connected with an inner surface along an edge. In operation, a continuous sheet of film advances around the edges of the forming members and forms an opening. In addition, opposing longitudinal edges of the continuous sheet are guided into an overlapping arrangement that forms the plastic film into a tube shape that extends downstream from the opening in the machine direction. The opening is symmetrical about a first axis and is asymmetrical about a second axis. Absorbent paper product to be packaged advances in the machine direction through the opening and into the tube.

Abstract: A method for bonding the tail of a convolutely wound log to the body is provided. The method comprises the use of a bonding material to bond the tail to the wound log. The bonding material may be applied to application sites arranged in a non-uniform pattern.

Abstract: A durable transfer roll core may comprise an elongate body comprising a groove, the elongate body having a longitudinal axis. The groove may comprise a Groove Angle from about 0 to about 90 degrees (relative to the longitudinal axis) and the groove may comprise a Groove Depth greater than about 0.003 inches.

Abstract: A method of grooving a durable transfer roll core may comprising loading the durable transfer roll core onto a grooving apparatus and grooving a main surface of the durable transfer roll core via engagement with one or a plurality of cutting tools of the tooling section of the grooving apparatus.

Abstract: A method for bonding the tail of a convolutely wound log to the body is provided. The method comprises the use of a bonding material to bond the tail to the wound log. The bonding material is applied to application sites arranged in a non-uniform pattern.
