  • Patent number: 9090040
    Abstract: An embossing roll for producing fibrous products, has a structurized embossing surface suitable to run against an anvil roll. The structurized embossing surface includes male protrusions or female depressions starting from a base circumferential surface of the roll. The embossing pattern includes the following features: the base areas of selected male protrusions or female depressions in the base circumferential surface are different; the heights or depths of selected male protrusions or selected female depressions in a radial direction of the roll and starting from the base circumferential surface are different; and the angles between sidewall sections and the adjacent base circumferential surface of selected male protrusions and/or female depressions are different.

  • Patent number: 8920905
    Abstract: A fibrous product (10, 20, 20b, 30), especially tissue paper product, non-woven products or a hybrid thereof, and preferably hygiene and cleaning product has at least one first ply (42; 62; 84; 104) with at least one embossing pattern including embossed depressions starting from a base plane of the ply; the embossed pattern being characterized by the following features: the embossing pattern has a minimum motive surface area of at least 3 cm×3 cm; the pattern includes a high number of embossed depressions which are sized and/or positioned such as to form a motive element covering the motive surface area; wherein at least some of the embossed depressions are sized and/or positioned such that minimum distances between pairs of consecutively arranged embossed depression vary. A method for producing such a fibrous product is also described.

  • Publication number: 20120244320
    Abstract: A fibrous product, especially tissue paper product, non-woven product, or a hybrid thereof, especially hygiene and cleaning product, has at least one ply, the surface of which is partly covered with an embossing pattern. The pattern includes at least one first zone being micro-embossed with at least 30 embossing depressions per cm2, preferably 30 to 160 embossing depressions/cm2, more preferably 30 to 120 embossing depressions/cm2, and most preferably 45 to 100 depressions/cm2, forming a background embossing area. A plurality of second zones are unembossed and form a motif element. In addition to the second zones, at least one third zone is largely surrounded by linear depressions. Also disclosed is an embossing roll and an embossing device including a method for manufacturing such fibrous products.

  • Patent number: 8119223
    Abstract: A multi-ply tissue paper includes at least two plies of tissue paper, including a first ply (2) being provided with a first embossing pattern forming cushions (24), each cushion being shaped in the form of at least a part of a first motive (20); and a second ply (3) being provided with a second embossing pattern forming protrusions (32, 34), each protrusion forming at least a part of a second motive (30); and at least the first ply and the second ply are combined together such that the protrusions of the second ply are generally positioned inside the cushions of the first ply and the motives are aligned with one another.

    Abstract: An embossing roll for producing fibrous products especially tissue paper products, non-woven products or a hybrid thereof, and preferably hygiene and cleaning products, with an embossing surface is suitable to run against an anvil roll, the embossing surface includes protrusions starting from a base circumferential surface of the embossing roll; the embossing protrusions form a pattern with a base surface area of at least 3 cm×3 cm; within each pattern there is a high number of embossing protrusions which are sized and/or positioned such as to represent a rastered motive element covering the base surface area; at least some of the embossing protrusions are dimensioned and/or positioned such that consecutive minimum distances between opposed side surfaces of pairs of embossing protrusions arranged in sequence vary gradually. A device employing the embossing roll and a method for arranging embossing protrusions on a circumferential surface of the embossing roll are described.
