Claims28
A fibrous structure, comprising a discrete cell, the discrete cell comprising:
- a Cell Width axis;
- a first leg connected to the discrete cell and having a first leg length and a first leg width, wherein there is a first Leg Length axis along the first leg length;
- a second leg connected to the discrete cell and having a second leg length and a second leg width, wherein there is a second Leg Length axis along the second leg length;
- wherein the first Leg Length axis intersects with the Cell Width axis at a first intersection point and wherein the second Leg Length axis intersects with the Cell Width axis at a second intersection point;
- wherein the first leg width is less than the first leg length;
- wherein the second leg width is less than the second leg length;
- and
- wherein the first intersection point is separated from the second intersection point to form an Intersection Point Separation Distance.

A fibrous structure, comprising:
- a discrete cell consisting of a single concavity and having a Saddle Width from about 0.020 inches to about 0.210 inches;
- wherein the discrete cell comprises a first leg comprising a first Leg Length axis;
- wherein the discrete cell comprises a Cell Width axis;
- and
- wherein the first Leg Length axis intersects with the Cell Width axis at a first intersection point.
2 more elements
A fibrous structure, comprising:
- a first discrete cell comprising a first concavity and a first leg, the first leg having a first leg length and a first leg width, wherein the first leg width is less than the first leg length;
- a second discrete cell comprising a concavity and a second leg, the second leg having a second leg length and a second leg width, wherein the second leg width is less than the second leg length;
- and
- a Leg Separation Distance between the first and second legs of 0.020 inches and about 0.200 inches.
