Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for making a fibrous structure, particularly in order to provide a fibrous structure comprising a bonding material which is bonded to a nonwoven substrate at a plurality of discrete bond sites. The plurality of discrete bond sites comprises first, second and third areas. The first, second and third areas comprise a plurality of individual parallelograms which have different compacted fibers relative to each others. The first, second and third areas comprise a plurality of individual parallelograms which have different densities of compacted fibers relative to each other. The bonding material is made of a plurality of filaments comprising a hydroxyl polymer.

Abstract: Folded fibrous structures, more particularly, folded sanitary tissue products, especially in rolled form, are provided.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for separating a web material are disclosed herein. The apparatus includes a bedroll and a chop off roll. The bedroll includes a bedroll blade and a bedroll web pin. The chop off roll includes a pin pad and a plurality of chop off roll blades. The bedroll web pin and the bedroll blade mesh with the pin pad and the chop off roll blades. The chop off roll blades are moved relative to the bedroll blade, stretching and separating the web material. The web pin perforates the web material and may completely or partially separate a portion of the web material. The web pin and the separated portion perforate the pin pad. The separated portion is stripped from the web pin as the pin passes out of the pin pad.

Abstract: A web winding apparatus and a method of operating the apparatus are disclosed. The apparatus can include a turret assembly, a core loading apparatus, and a core stripping apparatus. The turret assembly supports rotatably driven mandrels for engaging hollow cores upon which a paper web is wound. Each mandrel is driven in a closed mandrel path, which can be non-circular. The core loading apparatus conveys cores onto the mandrels during movement of the mandrels along the core loading segment of the closed mandrel path, and the core stripping apparatus removes each web wound core from its respective mandrel during movement of the mandrel along the core stripping segment of the closed mandrel path. The turret assembly can be rotated continuously, and the sheet count per wound log can be changed as the turret assembly is rotating. The apparatus can also include a mandrel having a deformable core engaging member.
