  • Embossing and adhesive printing process
    Patent number: 6872342
    Abstract: An embossing and adhesive application process including the steps of: applying an adhesive to a first patterned embossing roll which is engaged with a second patterned embossing roll having a complementary pattern to the first embossing roll; passing a web of sheet material between the first and second embossing rolls at a tangential line speed to simultaneously emboss the web and direct the adhesive against the web; and splitting the adhesive such that at least some of the adhesive remains on the first embossing roll and some of the adhesive remains on the web to form an adhesive pattern between embossments on the web.
    Type: Grant

  • Method and apparatus for selectively removing or displacing a fluid on a web
    Patent number: 5958512
    Abstract: An apparatus for forming bands of reduced coat weight of a coating on a coated web that is moving through a laminating machine includes a supply of fluid and a nozzle for directing a stream of fluid from the supply toward the web, said nozzle having a relatively small outlet aperture for directing a relatively narrow width stream of fluid toward the web compared to the width of the web to impinge on the web to reduce the coat weight over a relatively narrow width band. The bands may be formed in the machine direction of travel of the web, across the width of the web in a direction other than the machine direction and may be of various width and may be precisely or randomly placed. The reduced coat weight areas may be narrow bands or broader areas of the web.
