Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for embossing paper webs, particularly for forming products such as tissues, for example toilet tissue.
  • Paper embossing systems for example for producing composite two-ply rolls of kitchen paper, generally include a roll unwinding device which is suitable to feed two plies of paper to an embossing unit which can be provided with a system for pasting the two plies.
  • the embossing unit may include two embossing rollers, each provided with a plurality of protrusions which are arranged in parallel rows and each cooperating with a respective presser roller to emboss each sheet.
  • One of the two embossing rollers can be coated with paste so as to paste the two sheets.
  • the protrusions of the embossing rollers are formed by mechanical machining or by chemical processes for removing material, so that the sheets have a uniform stippling constituted by parallel rows of points directed inward, i.e., on the facing sides of the sheets.
  • a knurling unit which is suitable to knurl the roll in order to join the two plies.
  • US-5,913,765 discloses a system for embossing a pattern on a paper towel constituted by a first pair of embossing rollers that are patterned to impress a fine preparatory base pattern onto the web, in order to create stretchability in the paper, and a second pair of embossing rollers that are patterned to impress a final pattern onto the web.
  • EP-A-0816058 discloses an embossing apparatus constituted by two embossing units that provide two different embossing patterns that produce a complex pattern on the paper.
  • the aim of the present invention is to provide a method and an apparatus which can overcome the drawbacks of the prior art.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a system which is capable of producing ornamental patterns or designs, with a second embossing, without altering the first foundation embossing.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a method which is capable of producing ornamental patterns or designs of varying complexity according to requirements and in a highly versatile way, i.e., so that it is possible to change the design rapidly and cheaply.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide an embossing method which can produce even complex ornamental patterns on the finished product.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a method and an apparatus which provides more flexible management, in terms of production, than prior art systems for producing complex designs.
  • an apparatus for embossing paper webs particularly for producing products of the tissue type, such as toilet tissue, comprising a first embossing unit which is constituted by at least one embossing roller providing a first embossing on said paper web, a second embossing unit which is constituted by at least one embossing roller providing a first embossing on said paper web, a second embossing unit which is constituted by at least one embossing roller providing a first embossing on said paper web, a second embossing unit which is constituted by at least one embossing roller providing a first embossing on said paper web, a second embossing unit which is constituted by at least one embossing roller providing a first embossing on said paper web, a second embossing unit which is constituted by at least one embossing roller providing a first embossing on said paper web, a second embo
  • embossing unit which is located downstream of said first embossing unit and provides a second embossing on said paper, said second embossing being deeper than the thickness of said web, plus a certain value, characterized in that said second embossing unit comprises two embossing rollers which operate alternatively on the same contrast roller in order to vary the design of the second embossing.
  • a machine for performing so-called point-to-point embossing is shown; the machine is generally designated by the reference numeral 1 and includes a feeder (not shown) which is suitable to feed a first embossing unit 5 with two plies of paper 7 and 9.
  • the first embossing unit includes a first embossing roller 11, with a corresponding rubber roller 13, and a second embossing roller 15, with a corresponding rubber roller 17.
  • a pasting device 19 which is suitable to spread paste onto the roller 15 in order to paste the two plies 7 and 9 together.
  • the output of the first embossing unit is a web of embossed paper 21 which, according to the invention, is passed through a second embossing unit 10 which is constituted, in the illustrated example, by an embossing roller 31 which cooperates with a contrast roller 23.
  • the roller 31 is made of steel, is machined in relief and is suitable to work in contrast with the roller 23, which is made of rubber.
  • the contrast roller 23 also can be made of steel and be provided with recesses for receiving the points of the roller 31.
  • the recesses of the contrast roller are advantageously shallower than the height of the points of the roller 31.
  • the embossing roller 31 may have a jacket which is suitable to support a plate on which the design is formed by virtue of various methods which are known in the field.
  • the contrast roller is made of rubber.
  • the embossing performed by the second embossing unit is at least equal in depth to the thickness of the two sheets plus a certain value, which corresponds to the intended depth of the second ornamental pattern.
  • the value is equal to the depth of the penetration of the points of the embossing roller into the rubber roller.
  • the value of the depth of the second embossing could be approximately 1 mm, to which a processing margin must be added.
  • the second embossing unit may have a second embossing roller (not shown) which acts on the same contrast roller 23, alternatively to the roller 31.
  • a second embossing roller (not shown) which acts on the same contrast roller 23, alternatively to the roller 31.
  • the system according to the invention has some important advantages: it is in fact possible to change the design on the paper in a very short time.
  • embossing rollers in the second embossing unit allows to vary the ornamental pattern almost instantaneously, simply by actuating one roller instead of the other.
  • the web 21 is thus subjected to a second embossing which is superimposed on the first embossing performed by the first embossing unit.
  • Figure 2 illustrates an embossing machine, generally designated by the reference numeral 101, for performing embossing of the DERL/DESL type, which includes a feeder (not shown) which is suitable to feed a first embossing unit 105 with two plies of paper 107, 109.
  • the first embossing unit includes a first embossing roller 111, with the corresponding rubber roller 113, and a second embossing roller 115, with the corresponding rubber roller 117.
  • there is a pasting device 119 for pasting the two plies 7 and 9.
  • a web of embossed paper 121 exits from the first embossing unit and, according to the invention, is passed through the second embossing unit 10, constituted by the embossing roller 31 which cooperates with the contrast roller 23, as described above.
  • the machine according to the invention allows to produce complex designs and ornamental patterns. While the first embossing unit can provide a conventional geometric pattern, the second embossing unit can in fact be used to superimpose a particular design.
  • the invention achieves the intended aim and objects; it is in fact extremely simple to provide even complex ornamental patterns by superimposing two separate embossings without however altering the foundation embossing.
  • the machine according to the invention is extremely flexible; it is in fact possible to vary the design on the paper simply by replacing the second embossing roller.
  • the second embossing unit can be easily excluded if one wishes to emboss the paper in a conventional manner with a simple design due to production requirements.
  • the invention is particularly advantageous for products constituted by two or more plies.
  • the second embossing can also be utilized to mutually paste the plies, if paste has been spread onto one of the two plies in the first embossing step.
  • the materials used, as well as the dimensions, may of course be any according to requirements and to the state of the art.
