Patent number: 7935409Abstract: The roll properties of tissue sheets are improved either by imparting cross-machine direction dominant bar-like protrusions to the air side of the tissue by using specially woven transfer fabrics and/or by offsetting recurring surface features of the sheet relative to the surface features of adjacent sheets within the roll, such as by providing a throughdryer fabric with an offset seam. Both techniques provide the resulting tissue sheets with improved capabilities for providing an improved combination of roll bulk and roll firmness.Type: GrantFiled: November 14, 2005Date of Patent: May 3, 2011Assignee: Kimberly-Clark Worldwide, Inc.Inventors: Mark Alan Burazin, Edward Joseph VanRengen, Kenneth Curtis Larson, Jerome Steven Veith, Ralph Lee Anderson, Michael William Veith

Publication number: 20080082070Abstract: A method of marketing incontinence products is disclosed. The method includes creating a product offering of incontinence products. The product offering includes first, second and third segments that are distinguished from one another by display segmentation elements. The first segment is directed to male incontinence consumers, the second segment is directed to female incontinence consumers, and the third segment is directed to caregivers. The product offering is then communicated to a retailer and a product display is created at a retail site that resembles the product offering. Either simultaneously or sequentially, the product offering is communicated to potential purchasers, using multimedia advertisement, to inform them of the availability of such disposable absorbent incontinence products.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 29, 2006Publication date: April 3, 2008Inventors: David Arthur Fell, Kenny Lee Johnson, Stephen Bradford Cook, Toan Thanh LeMinh, Brian Lee Thomas, Jerome Steven Veith

Publication number: 20040243085Abstract: A disposable absorbent article is disclosed that includes front and back panels each having a first zone and a second zone. The first zone is extensible and retractable and the second zone is non-extensible and non-retractable. The disposable absorbent article also has a waistband integrally formed in the first zone that has extensible regions separated by non-extensible regions. The waistband is constructed such that a greater force is required to extend it than is required to extend the remaining extensible portion of the first zone in both the front and back panels. The disposable absorbent article also includes an absorbent assembly and the front and back panels are secured together by a pair of seams to form a waist opening and a pair of leg openings.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 30, 2003Publication date: December 2, 2004Applicant: Kimberly-Clark Worldwide, Inc.Inventors: Jerome Steven Veith, Paul VanGompel

Publication number: 20030111168Abstract: A method of making an undergarment having refastenable side seams (12, 14). The method includes a step of preconditioning a substantially two-dimension web (57) to include at least four refastening surfaces (82-85). The refastenable side seams (12, 14) can be incorporated into undergarments formed from a continuous web (57) in which the pre-forms (21) (that will ultimately result in individual undergarments) are oriented in either the machine direction or the cross-direction. The web (57) can be preconditioned to include refastening surfaces (82-85) on both of what becomes the exterior surface (30) and the body-contacting surface (28) of the undergarments.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 17, 2001Publication date: June 19, 2003Applicant: Kimberly-Clark Worldwide, Inc.Inventors: Christopher Peter Olson, Joseph Daniel Coenen, Mary Jo Meyer, Paul Joseph Datta, Eric Donald Johnson, Sarah Jane Marie Freiburger, Jerome Steven Veith, Heather Schenck Mortell, Robert Eugene Vogt

Patent number: 6349525Abstract: A method of filling an upright facial tissue carton with a plurality of tissue and a support member is disclosed. The carton has a top wall, four sidewalls and a bottom wall. The top wall has an aperture formed therein through which the tissue can be withdrawn. The method includes assembling a plurality of tissues into a clip of tissue having a first surface and a second surface. A support member is placed adjacent to the second surface of the clip of tissue. The clip of tissue and the support member are both folded into an inverted U-shaped configuration. The carton is then opened and the inverted U-shaped configuration is inserted such that the first surface of the clip of tissue is positioned adjacent to the aperture. The carton is then closed and sealed to form a filled upright facial tissue carton.Type: GrantFiled: July 1, 1999Date of Patent: February 26, 2002Assignee: Kimberly-Clark Worldwide, Inc.Inventor: Jerome Steven Veith

Patent number: 6202889Abstract: An upright facial tissue carton is disclosed with improved tissue dispensing. The carton has a top wall, four sidewalls and a bottom wall. The top wall has an aperture formed therein through which the tissue can be withdrawn. An inverted U-shaped clip of interfolded tissue is positioned within the carton. The clip of tissue is maintained in close proximity to the aperture by a support means to facilitate singular dispensing of the tissues from the carton. The support means is formed from a flexible material that is folded into an inverted U-shape along with the clip of tissue.Type: GrantFiled: July 1, 1999Date of Patent: March 20, 2001Assignee: Kimberly-Clark Worldwide, Inc.Inventor: Jerome Steven Veith

Patent number: 6077590Abstract: Rolled creped paper products, such as kitchen towels, can be provided with high roll bulk and a high degree of roll firmness by steaming the dry, creped paper sheet immediately prior to embossing the sheet between matched steel embossing rolls. The steaming preconditions the sheet such that the resulting sheet embossments maintain their shape and structural strength, thereby imparting greater bulk and firmness to the wound roll of product. In addition, the sheet experiences less cross-machine strength reduction as a consequence of the embossing.Type: GrantFiled: April 15, 1998Date of Patent: June 20, 2000Assignee: Kimberly-Clark Worldwide, Inc.Inventors: Sammy Lee Archer, Eric John Draheim, Thomas Garrett Neal, Jr., Jerome Steven Veith, Mary Martha Zielinski

Patent number: 5900114Abstract: High sheet count rolls of spot-embossed, soft bathroom tissue suffer from embossing patterns becoming pressed out by the high winding tension necessary to confine the size of the roll to a diameter of about 5 inches. This size is necessary in order for such high sheet count rolls to fit within the bathroom tissue dispensers found in most households. However, by embossing the tissue between a resilient back-up roll and an engraved embossing roll having short male embossing element heights of only from about 0.005 to about 0.035 inch, the tissue sheet becomes simultaneously calendered, which lowers the sheet caliper (as measured under a compressive load). Because of the resulting lower caliper, the embossed sheet can be wound into the required roll size with less tension on the sheet, such that the embossing pattern for tissue sheets within the roll remains well defined.Type: GrantFiled: July 3, 1997Date of Patent: May 4, 1999Assignee: Kimberly-Clark Worldwide, Inc.Inventors: Joseph William Brown, Jerome Steven Veith, Thomas Allan Eby, Joel James Banda
