Abstract
An absorbent, puffy sheet structure comprising a pair of plies of web material adhered in continuous linear regions interspersed with pocket portions. Portions of the plies forming the pocket portions include inwardly presented perforate bosses that enhance softness and water absorbency. The structure is achieved utilizing apparatus comprising a pair of matched-pattern, synchronously rotatable steel rolls each provided with small, sharp, ply-perforating members in the recesses between land areas, in combination with synchronous rotatable rubber embossing rolls urged against the rotatable steel rolls and intervening plies to form the perforate bosses.
Claims8
Multi-ply fibrous sheet structure comprising:
- a pair of plies of fibrous web material adherent to one another in substantially continuous linear regions and defining outwardly presented pocket portions in non-adherent regions thereof;
- and, solely in each of said non-adherent regions of said plies defining the pocket portions, means forming perforations having fibers disposed thereabout projecting solely inwardly of and terminating within the regions enclosed by the pocket portions, said fibers confronting the inwardly projecting fibers of the opposite one of said plies.
Multi-ply fibrous sheet structure comprising:
- a pair of plies of fibrous material having a plurality of mutually confronting outwardly presented embossments defining pocket portions;
- and a plurality of relatively fine, perforated pin embossments solely in each of the recited pocket portion-defining plies, said pin embossments being presented solely inwardly of and terminating within regions enclosed by said pocket portions, in mutually confronting relationship.
In multi-ply fibrous sheet structure of the type including a pair of plies of fibrous material having a plurality of outwardly presented embossments defining pocket portions, the combination therewith of a plurality of relatively fine, perforated pin embossments provided solely in each of the recited pocket portion-defining plies, said pin embossments being presented solely inwardly of and terminating within regions enclosed by said pocket portions, in mutually confronting relationship.
In multi-ply fibrous sheet structure of the type including a pair of plies of fibrous material adhered to one another at inwardly presented land regions provided in said plies, said plies including mutually spaced confronting regions disposed between said adhered regions, the combination therewith of a plurality of relatively fine, perforated pin embossments provided solely in said spaced confronting regions of said plies, said pin embossments being presented solely inwardly of and terminating within regions enclosed by said spaced confronting regions of said plies.
