  • Method for making uncreped throughdried tissue products without an open draw
    Patent number: 5593545
    Abstract: A method for making uncreped throughdried tissues is disclosed in which the dried tissue sheet is fully supported by a fabric up to the reel. This method eliminates the open draw between the throughdryer and the reel and thereby eliminates sheet breaks normally associated with such open draws. In addition, the machine direction strength of the sheet can be reduced since the added strength is not needed to traverse the open draw normally present in current processes. Reducing the MD strength in turn enables the production of more square, less stiff sheet, which improves the tactile properties of the product.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 6, 1995
    Date of Patent: January 14, 1997
    Assignee: Kimberly-Clark Corporation
