Patent number: 12018439Abstract: Disclosed are multi-ply embossed tissue products having improved softness, strength, embossment clarity and/or embossment height compared to prior art embossed tissue products. The multi-ply tissue products may comprise an embossed tissue ply having a basis weight less than about 25 grams per square meter (gsm) and relatively deep embossments, such as an embossment height from about 500 to about 1,000 ?m and relatively narrow bottom portions compared to top portions. The combination of these elements provides an aesthetically pleasing and well-defined embossment, while improving important tissue product properties such as sheet and roll bulk and softness.Type: GrantFiled: February 9, 2022Date of Patent: June 25, 2024Inventors: Tsutama Satake Neto, Jorge Alonso Duran, Patricia Câmara Mileo

Patent number: 11124921Abstract: The present invention provides multi-ply tissue products having distinctly different first and second outer surfaces or sides. The two-sidedness is generally provided by forming one of the surfaces from a tissue ply having a plurality of macrofolds and the other side from a substantially planar tissue ply. The first ply may be attached to the second ply at transversely spaced apart points by a conventional means, such as crimping. Macrofolds, which may be differently sized and shaped, may generally have a wave-like structure with a transversely orientated void that extends between the spaced apart points of attachment. The combination of these elements provides a tissue product that is both aesthetically pleasing and well suited to cleaning due to the large amount of surface area created by the macrofolds.Type: GrantFiled: August 29, 2019Date of Patent: September 21, 2021Inventors: Tsutama Satake Neto, Jorge Alonso Duran, Patricia Camara Mileo, Alessandro Lopes, Marcelo Logiodice Cardoso

Patent number: 11111633Abstract: The present invention provides multi-ply tissue products having distinctly different first and second outer surfaces or sides. The two-sidedness is generally provided by forming one of the surfaces from a tissue ply having a plurality of macrofolds and the other side from a substantially planar tissue ply. The first ply may be attached to the second ply at longitudinally spaced apart points that define a macrofold therebetween. The length of tissue between the points of attachment may form a wave-like structure having an amplitude and wavelength and having a transversely orientated void that extends from a first edge to a second edge of the tissue. The combination of these elements provides a tissue product that is both aesthetically pleasing and well suited to cleaning due to the large amount of surface area created by the macrofolds.Type: GrantFiled: August 29, 2019Date of Patent: September 7, 2021Inventors: Tsutama Satake Neto, Patricia Camara Mileo, Jorge Alonso Duran

Patent number: 8277917Abstract: A roll of a sheet material is provided with elongated sheets within the roll that are either completely detached from each other, or substantially completely detached from each other, such that the user can dispense the elongated sheets with one hand. In the case of toilet paper, the elongated sheets have a pre-determined length deemed to be suitable for most users and serve to assist young children in dispensing a proper amount of tissue from the roll.Type: GrantFiled: March 30, 2011Date of Patent: October 2, 2012Assignee: Kimberly-Clark Worldwide, Inc.Inventors: Tsutama Satake Neto, Jose Lee McIntyre, James Leo Baggot

Patent number: 8221864Abstract: Toilet paper rolls are provided with angled sidewalls that impart a wavy shape to the paper as it is unwound from the roll. When individual sheets within the roll are folded or otherwise superimposed on each other, the resulting combination provides an effective width that is greater than the actual width of the individual sheets. As a result, toilet paper sheets can be made narrower than conventional toilet paper sheets while maintaining wiping performance.Type: GrantFiled: December 28, 2009Date of Patent: July 17, 2012Assignee: Kimberly-Clark Worldwide, IncInventor: Tsutama Satake Neto
