Abstract
A continuously advancing tissue paper web is separated from a Yankee dryer roll and creper, and then received and transported on an endless fabric conveyor and embossing belt travelling toward and over a reel drum. At the reeling station the web is threaded onto a reel spool and wound into a parent roll pressing against the conveyor and embossing belt running over the reel drum and thereby embossing the web in the roll/drum nip. Means are provided for automatically air threading the web onto the reel spool. For higher bulk tissue creped sheet, additional dry embossing may be effected while the sheet is being transported by the conveyor belt.
Claims33
A method of sheet transfer and embossing, comprising:
- continuously advancing a tissue paper web from creping means;
- receiving the continuously advancing web on a supporting run of an endless fabric conveyor belt starting closely adjacent to the creping means;
- advancing the web on the conveyor belt toward a reel drum over which the belt runs;
- threading the continuously advancing leading end portion of the web onto a reel spool adjacent to said reel drum;
- continuously winding the threaded web into a parent roll on the reel spool;
- pressing the parent roll, as it is being wound, against the fabric conveyor belt running over said reel drum;
- and in the nip of the parent roll and the reel drum embossing the continuously advancing web.
A method of transferring a continuously advancing tissue paper web from creping means to a reeling station, comprising:
- separating the web from the creping means;
- continuously transporting the web on a conveyor and embossing belt to the reeling station;
- winding the continuously advancing web into a parent roll at the reeling station;
- and pressing said parent roll against the continuously advancing web supported on the conveyor belt and thereby embossing the web.
A method of embossing a creped continuously advancing tissue paper web, comprising:
- transferring the continuously advancing the web from creping means to and over a reel drum on a conveyor and embossing belt running over the reel drum;
- winding the web into a parent roll;
- pressing the parent roll as it is being wound against the belt where the belt runs over the reel drum;
- and embossing the continuously advancing web on the belt in the nip of the parent roll and the reel drum.
Apparatus for sheet transfer and embossing, comprising:
- means for continuously advancing a tissue paper sheet from creping means;
- means for receiving the continuously advancing web comprising a supporting run of an endless fabric conveyor belt starting closely adjacent to the creping means;
- a reel drum over which the belt runs and toward which the web is advanced on the conveyor belt supporting run;
- a reel spool adjacent to said reel drum;
- and means for threading the continuously advancing leading end portion of the web onto the reel spool;
- said reel spool being operative for continuously winding the web into a parent roll on the reel spool in a position to press the parent roll as it is being wound against the fabric conveyor belt running over said reel drum whereby the nip of the parent roll and the reel drum will effect embossing of the continuously advancing web.
Apparatus for transferring a continuously advancing tissue paper web from creping means to a reeling station, comprising:
- means for separating the web from the creping means;
- a conveyor and embossing belt for continuously transporting the web to the reeling station;
- means for winding the continuously advancing web into a parent roll at the reeling station;
- and means mounting said parent roll in position to press against the continuously advancing web supported on the belt for embossing the web.
Apparatus for embossing a creped continuously advancing tissue paper web after leaving creping means, comprising:
- a conveyor and embossing belt running over a reel drum and arranged for transferring the continuously advancing web from the creping means toward the reel drum;
- and means for winding the web into a parent roll;
- said winding means being cooperative with the reel drum for pressing the parent roll as it is being wound against the conveyor belt where the belt runs over the reel drum whereby to effect embossing of the continuously advancing web on the belt in the nip of the parent roll and the reel drum.
