Patent number: 7691229Abstract: A web-making fabric for producing a high caliper fibrous web and the fibrous web produced thereby. The web-making fabric comprises a reinforcing structure and a framework joined to the reinforcing structure. The framework defines a plurality of deflection conduits, at least one deflection conduit is a negatively radiused deflection conduit, and at least one deflection conduit is a positively radiused deflection conduit. The positively radiused deflection conduits are sized, shaped, and arranged to maximize fiber deflection along the periphery of the conduits. The web comprises three regions, a first region a second region and a third region. The first region is immediately adjacent to at least one of the second region and the third region. The second region comprises a plurality of negatively radiused domes. The third region comprises a plurality of positively radiused domes.Type: GrantFiled: August 2, 2006Date of Patent: April 6, 2010Assignee: The Procter & Gamble CompanyInventors: Kenneth Douglas Vinson, John Allen Manifold, Jonathan Andrew Ficke, Yanping Zhang

Patent number: 6126784Abstract: A process for applying a chemical additive, such as a softener, to a fibrous web comprises the steps of: providing a fibrous web having a first side and a second side opposite to the first side; providing a chemical additive; depositing the chemical additive only to the first side of the fibrous web; causing the first side of the fibrous web to contact the second side of the fibrous web thereby partially transferring the chemical additive from the first side to the second side of the fibrous web such that both the first side and the second side of the fibrous web comprise the chemical additive in a functionally sufficient amount. Preferably, the step of causing the two sides of the web to contact comprises winding the web into a roll.Type: GrantFiled: May 5, 1999Date of Patent: October 3, 2000Assignee: The Procter & Gamble CompanyInventors: Jonathan Andrew Ficke, Kenneth Douglas Vinson
