Abstract: A method for loading a stack of individual paper units into a dispenser includes inwardly pushing on a pair of oppositely disposed end portions of respective lateral walls of the dispenser, thereby releasing a drawer of the dispenser for sliding movement of that drawer relative to a remainder of the dispenser. The drawer includes first and second, oppositely disposed sidewalls, a bottom wall, and an arcuate front wall that has a dispensing aperture. The bottom wall of the drawer extends between the first and second sidewalls of the drawer, and the sidewalls of the drawer define an open end of the drawer opposite the bottom wall and, jointly with the bottom wall and arcuate front wall, defines a storage volume of the drawer. The drawer is slid outwardly relative to a remainder of the dispenser to thereby expose the first and second sidewalls and bottom wall of the drawer.

Abstract: A stack of paper sheets, particularly for use as dispenser napkins, includes a plurality of folded sheets. Each folded sheet is folded along a first folding line so that a part of a free edge opposite to the first folding line is located on an outer surface of the folded sheet and inward of the outer peripheral edges of the folded sheet, whereby a starter fold is formed. Each folded sheet is further folded along a second folding line non-parallel to the first folding line, the second folding line separating the folded sheet in two panels connected at the second folding line. Two consecutive folded sheets are interfolded so that one panel of one folded sheet is disposed between two panels of the consecutive folded sheet. Also, a method for manufacturing such a stack and folding the sheets included in the stack as well as a dispenser containing such a stack are disclosed.

Abstract: A method for loading a stack of interfolded paper units into a dispenser includes inserting a stack of interfolded paper units into an interior volume of the dispenser through a dispenser opening. The dispenser has a lid having a dispensing aperture, as well as a movable platen that has a paper-engaging surface, and which is urged upwardly toward the dispenser opening. A bottom wall of the dispenser is disposed opposite the dispenser opening, and a lock of the dispenser is selectively engageable with the platen. The stack is placed on the platen and a downward force is exerted on the top surface of the stack to thereby push the platen downward until the platen has been engaged by the lock and has reached a locked position in which the paper-engaging surface has an oblique orientation relative to the bottom wall of the dispenser.

Abstract: A stack of a plurality of cellulose-containing absorbent towels for a dispenser is provided. The towels are separable upon dispensing. The stack is compressed to a predetermined density dependent on material choice.

Abstract: A package (1) of folded sheet products, in particular hand wipes, made of tissue paper or nonwoven. The package (1) includes a stack (2) of said sheet products, which stack (2) having an upper surface (3), a lower surface (4), and four side surfaces (5, 6, 7, 8) connecting said upper and lower surfaces (3, 4). A binding material (17) is applied on at least two opposite side surfaces (5, 6; 7, 8) of said stack (2) and bonded to at least two of said sheet products for retaining package integrity during handling thereof, whilst allowing separation of end sheet products (9; 11) from said package (1). A method for producing a package (1) is also provided.

Abstract: A multi-ply web of flexible material, such as paper and nonwoven material, includes a fluorescent whitening agent. The multi-ply web includes at least a first ply and a second ply which are interconnected in one or more adhesive interconnection zones by an adhesive composition including polyvinyl alcohol or a cellulose ether, and a cationic polymer. Also disclosed is a method for improving the bleed fastness of a fluorescent whitening agent in one or more adhesive interconnection zones of a multi-ply web of flexible material, such as paper and nonwoven material, which multi-ply web includes at least a first ply and a second ply which are interconnected in the adhesive zone(s) by an adhesive composition including polyvinyl alcohol or a cellulose ether. The method includes a step of incorporating a cationic polymer in the adhesive composition comprising polyvinyl alcohol or a cellulose ether.

Abstract: Method for forming an air laid fibrous web, wherein an air born fiber stream is laid on a web shaped forming member, such as a wire, and the air laid fibrous web is bonded together. The air laid fibrous web is fed between two web-shaped forming members and bonding of the fibrous web takes place either when this is located between the two web-shaped forming members or immediately after one forming member has left the fibrous web.

Abstract: An absorbent tissue layer comprises at least one ply where the density of the layer is equal to or less than 130 kg/m3 and the elastic recovery value of the layer is greater than 90%, more preferably 95%, and most preferably 98%. The invention also relates to a product such as a roll or bundle of tissue layer where the elastic recovery value of the layer is greater than 90%, more preferably 95%, and most preferably 98%, and the density of the roll or the bundle is 200 to 300 kg/m3. The ratio between the density of the layer, when it has been separated from the roll or the bundle, and the density of the roll or the bundle is less than 0.65, and the density of the layer when separated from the roll or the bundle is 30 to 130 kg/m3.

Abstract: A method for providing a wire for forming a patterned fiber web, a wire which has been provided by means of the method according to the invention and a patterned fiber web formed on the wire (100) according to the invention, which comprises a plurality of threads (101, 102, 103, 104, 105, 106) arranged in a wire structure with a plurality of drainage opening (107, 108, 109) and a patterning area (110) substantially in the plane of the wire, intended for the forming. In the method a number of the threads (103, 104, 105) are given a permanent deformation for forming one or several pattern creating surfaces (111) within the patterning area (110) at the forming. The invention may be applied in relation to production of soft tissue paper, wet pressed non woven materials, air laid non woven materials, or at the production of hydraulically patterned or entangled non woven materials.

Abstract: A method for producing a fluid-pervious fabric (301) for imparting a pattern to a fibre web. The fabric comprises at least one polymer material with a softening temperature, and a fabric structure (306). The fabric (301′) is heated to a temperature higher than the softening temperature, wherein a forming pressure (&Dgr;p3) is applied between a first surface (304) and a second surface (305) of the fabric. Fabric patterning members (309,309′) on the support contribute to a deformation of the fabric structure (306) in the Z-direction in deformation zones (311) in which the fluid permeability remains essentially unchanged. The fabric (301) is cooled down to a temperature lower than the softening temperature rendering the deformation permanent. Furthermore, the invention relates to a fluid-pervious fabric, e.g. a wire or a felt, and patterned fibre web, e.g. a paper web, a nonwoven web, or another fibre web.

Abstract: Method for forming an air laid fibrous web, wherein an air born fiber stream is laid on a web shaped forming member, such as at wire (12;17), and the air laid fibrous web is bonded together. The air laid fibrous web is fed between two web-shaped forming members (11,12;17,18;19,20) and bonding of the fibrous web takes place either when this is located between the two web-shaped forming members or immediately after one forming member has left the fibrous web.
