  • Patent number: 7332451
    Abstract: Paper-machine clothing comprising a woven structure and a filling component. A filament and a second filament of the woven structure intersect in a weave pattern contact each other. Void spaces produced by the intersection of the first filament and the second filament are substantially filled by a durable filling component. The durable component adheres to at most one of the first and second filaments.

  • Patent number: 6989075
    Abstract: A dual intensive property tissue. The tissue has a first set of intensive properties including density, surface area, thickness and void volume as presented to the consumer. The consumer plastically activates the tissue by pulling it in tension. A series of slits 44 or other lines of weakness elongate in a direction parallel to the line of tension, allowing the tissue to achieve a second state of intensive properties. The value of the second state of intensive properties is different after activation. The change in value of the intensive properties allows for economies in shipping, where a higher density product is shipped to the consumer. At the point of use, the consumer activates the product to achieve the increase surface area and lower density. The increase in surface area and concomitant decrease in density provides for increased efficacy in cleaning. The plastically activatable state may be provided by a series of slits 44 or other lines of weakness in the tissue.
