Abstract
Description
La présente invention se rapporte au domaine des papiers absorbants à usage sanitaire ou domestique, et vise un produit comprenant au moins un pli gaufré, destiné à la réalisation de papier toilette essentiellement mais aussi de mouchoirs, serviettes de table ou éventuellement d'essuie-tout.The present invention relates to the field of absorbent papers for sanitary or domestic use, and relates to a product comprising at least an embossed fold, intended for the production of toilet paper essentially but also handkerchiefs, napkins or possibly paper towels.
Dans l'industrie des papiers à usage sanitaire et domestique, on utilise pour la réalisation de ce type de produits, un produit absorbant généralement crêpé, de faible grammage, désigné : ouate de cellulose ou tissu ouaté. On profite de la capacité d'allongement de la structure, conférée par exemple par le crêpage, pour gaufrer la feuille. Cette opération consiste à déformer cette dernière de façon permanente entre un cylindre non déformable pourvu de reliefs et un contre-cylindre, par exemple à revêtement résilient. On obtient ainsi des protubérances sur une face correspondant à des cavités sur l'autre face.In the sanitary and household paper industry, uses for the realization of this type of products, an absorbent product generally creped, light weight, designated: cellulose wadding or cotton fabric. We take advantage of the elongation capacity of the structure, conferred for example by creping, for embossing the sheet. This operation consists in permanently deforming the latter between a non-deformable cylinder provided with reliefs and a counter-cylinder, by example with resilient coating. This produces protrusions on a face corresponding to cavities on the other face.
En effet la tendance de ces dernières années, en ce qui concerne les produits d'hygiène en ouate de cellulose a été de les rendre plus doux, plus moelleux en travaillant leurs caractéristiques d'épaisseur et de résistance, notamment par le gaufrage. Ce dernier permet en outre d'améliorer l'attrait visuel du produit. L'opération de gaufrage s'effectue sur du papier à faible taux d'humidité, c'est-à-dire en transformation. On travaille alors une feuille sèche, déroulée d'une bobine mère provenant de la machine à papier.Indeed the trend of recent years, with regard to Hygiene products made of cellulose wadding was to make them softer, more soft by working their characteristics of thickness and resistance, especially by embossing. The latter also improves the attractiveness visual of the product. The embossing operation is carried out on paper with low humidity level, i.e. in transformation. We then work a dry sheet, unwound from a mother roll from the machine paper.
Les motifs de gaufrage les plus répandus sont constitués d'une répétition sur une base géométrique de protubérances élémentaires de faible section transversale et de forme géométrique simple. Un exemple est décrit dans le brevet US 3 414 459 qui porte sur une feuille stratifiée constituée d'une pluralité de feuilles élémentaires, appelées plis, collées ensemble. On a gaufré les plis avec une fréquence de répartition et une hauteur des protubérances adaptées à la réalisation des produits absorbant l'eau, essuie-tout par exemple. Le nombre d'éléments va de 5 à 30 par cm2.The most common embossing patterns consist of a repetition on a geometric basis of elementary protuberances of small cross section and simple geometric shape. An example is described in US Pat. No. 3,414,459 which relates to a laminated sheet made up of a plurality of elementary sheets, called plies, glued together. The pleats were embossed with a frequency of distribution and a height of the protrusions adapted to the production of water-absorbing products, paper towels for example. The number of elements ranges from 5 to 30 per cm 2 .
De son côté la Demanderesse a développé, pour du papier toilette notamment, des motifs dont le nombre d'éléments est supérieur, allant de 30 à 80 par cm2. On qualifie habituellement ce type de gaufrage « microgaufrage ». Les éléments en relief formant le gaufrage ont nécessairement une surface élémentaire au sommet très faible, inférieure à 1 mm2. On obtient pour ces dernières réalisations un aspect qui imite celui d'un produit tissé. On en a décrit un exemple dans le brevet EP 426 548.For its part, the Applicant has developed, for toilet paper in particular, patterns whose number of elements is greater, ranging from 30 to 80 per cm 2 . This type of embossing is usually called "micro-embossing". The elements in relief forming the embossing necessarily have a very small elementary surface at the top, less than 1 mm 2 . An aspect which imitates that of a woven product is obtained for these latter embodiments. An example has been described in patent EP 426 548.
Ce type de produit présente toutefois un attrait visuel limité. En outre lorsqu'on associe par collage deux plis ainsi gaufrés, la douceur du produit obtenu n'est pas optimale.However, this type of product has limited visual appeal. In in addition when combining two plies thus embossed, the softness of the product obtained is not optimal.
La solution présentée dans le brevet FR 2 728 152 permet
d'améliorer la douceur d'une feuille à double pli avec ce type de gaufrage,
en réalisant un motif combiné, comprenant un motif graphique et un motif
de fond. Le premier est composé de protubérances dont la forme est
linéaire avec une largeur comprise entre 0,1 et 2 mm, et le second
comprend des petites protubérances généralement tronconiques réparties à
raison d'au moins 30 par cm2 (microgaufrage). On associe les plis sur le
motif de forme linéaire, limitant ainsi l'étendue des surfaces collées entre
elles et la rigidification induite.The solution presented in
Conformément à cette réalisation, la proportion de surface gaufrée selon le motif de fond est largement majoritaire : 80% de la surface en pratique. C'est lui qui assure l'essentiel des caractéristiques fonctionnelles liées au gaufrage, à savoir épaisseur et absorption.In accordance with this embodiment, the proportion of embossed surface depending on the background pattern is largely in the majority: 80% of the surface in convenient. It is he who provides most of the functional characteristics related to embossing, namely thickness and absorption.
On connaít par ailleurs le brevet US 5 620 776 qui décrit des feuilles de papier absorbant gaufré selon un motif formant un réseau de losanges dont l'intérieur comprend un motif soit formé d'éléments linéaires, soit formés d'alignements de protubérances. Il s'agit dans cette invention d'obtenir des feuilles au gonflant amélioré vis-à-vis de feuilles non gaufrées, et dont les motifs ressortent bien. Cependant, les densités de protubérances mises en oeuvre ne concernent pas des microgaufrages.We also know US Patent 5,620,776 which describes sheets of absorbent absorbent paper in a pattern forming a network of diamonds with a pattern inside made up of elements linear, or formed by protuberance alignments. This is about invention of obtaining sheets with improved bulkiness with respect to sheets not embossed, and whose patterns stand out well. However, the densities of protuberances used do not relate to micro-embossing.
On connaít encore la demande de brevet EP 1 073 797 qui décrit une
feuille de papier absorbant, présentant un motif uniquement formé de
protubérances de même taille, réparties selon des densités quasi identiques
de façon à obtenir un marquage homogène et une bonne définition dudit
motif, tout en ayant des caractéristiques d'épaisseur et de résistance
comparables à celles d'une feuille ayant un gaufrage uniforme.We also know the
Le motif de gaufrage divulgué dans ce brevet comprend un réseau de cellules dont l'intérieur est peu ou pas gaufré.The embossing motif disclosed in this patent includes a network of cells with little or no embossing inside.
Il s'agit donc le plus souvent de trouver un compromis entre la densité du ou des éléments formant motifs, la surface qu'ils occupent, leur forme, leur marquage...It is therefore most often a question of finding a compromise between density of the pattern-forming element (s), the surface they occupy, their shape, their marking ...
Selon les effets que l'on cherche à obtenir : douceur, épaisseur, absorption, esthétique, résistance, on peut agir sur les paramètres évoqués ci-dessus. According to the effects that one seeks to obtain: softness, thickness, absorption, aesthetics, resistance, we can act on the parameters mentioned above.
Les microgaufrages connus présentent des densités égales et/ou sensiblement égales sur toute la surface des produits.The known micro-embossments have equal densities and / or substantially equal over the entire surface of the products.
Conformément à la présente invention, on cherche à obtenir un produit gaufré présentant en lui-même un relief amélioré, sans pour autant que ses autres propriétés ne soient diminuées ou altérées.In accordance with the present invention, it is sought to obtain a embossed product with improved relief in itself, without that its other properties are not diminished or altered.
Selon l'invention, le relief amélioré est obtenu essentiellement grâce à un gaufrage caractéristique.According to the invention, the improved relief is obtained essentially thanks to a characteristic embossing.
Par ailleurs, le produit selon l'invention présente avantageusement une épaisseur relativement importante et ne donne en aucun cas une impression (ni visuelle ni au toucher) d'écrasement, ou d'aplatissement.Furthermore, the product according to the invention advantageously has a relatively large thickness and in no case gives a impression (neither visual nor touch) of crushing, or flattening.
Ainsi l'invention a pour objet un produit en papier absorbant, notamment en ouate de cellulose comprenant au moins deux plis dont l'un au moins est gaufré suivant un motif de gaufrage comprenant des protubérances de densité supérieure ou égale à 30 par cm2.Thus, the subject of the invention is a product made of absorbent paper, in particular of cellulose wadding comprising at least two plies, at least one of which is embossed according to an embossing pattern comprising protuberances of density greater than or equal to 30 per cm 2 .
Conformément à l'invention, ledit motif de gaufrage comprend au moins deux zones juxtaposées dont les protubérances présentent respectivement une densité différente et/ou une surface au sommet différente afin d'obtenir un effet de relief sur ledit produit.According to the invention, said embossing pattern comprises at at least two juxtaposed zones whose protuberances have respectively a different density and / or a surface at the top different in order to obtain a relief effect on said product.
Sans sortir du cadre de l'invention, le ratio entre la surface occupée par les sommets desdites protubérances et la surface gaufrée, c'est-à-dire occupée par une ou plusieurs zones gaufrées de la feuille est compris entre 1 et 60 % de préférence entre 7 et 45%.Without departing from the scope of the invention, the ratio between the area occupied by the tops of said protrusions and the embossed surface, that is to say occupied by one or more embossed areas of the sheet is between 1 and 60% preferably between 7 and 45%.
Avantageusement, la différence de densité et/ou de surface au sommet des protubérances est supérieure à 7 et de préférence supérieure à 15 %.Advantageously, the difference in density and / or surface at apex of protrusions is greater than 7 and preferably greater than 15%.
En outre, la surface au sommet des plus petites protubérances est au moins égale à 0,03 mm2.In addition, the surface at the top of the smallest protrusions is at least 0.03 mm 2 .
Par ailleurs, la surface au sommet des plus grosses protubérances est au plus de l'ordre de 0,80 mm2.Furthermore, the surface at the top of the largest protuberances is at most of the order of 0.80 mm 2 .
Selon un mode de réalisation de l'invention, le motif de gaufrage comprend au moins une première zone dont les protubérances présentent une première densité, ladite zone étant entourée d'au moins une seconde zone dont les protubérances présentent une seconde densité supérieure à la première densité.According to one embodiment of the invention, the embossing pattern comprises at least a first zone whose protuberances have a first density, said zone being surrounded by at least one second zone whose protuberances have a second density greater than the first density.
Selon une caractéristique additionnelle de l'invention, le motif de gaufrage comprend en outre des éléments linéaires.According to an additional characteristic of the invention, the pattern of embossing further includes linear elements.
Plus particulièrement, les éléments linéaires définissent un second réseau géométrique et/ou des motifs esthétiques.More specifically, the linear elements define a second geometric network and / or aesthetic patterns.
Préférentiellement, les plis sont assemblés entre eux par collage. Preferably, the folds are assembled together by gluing.
Selon un mode préféré de réalisation de l'invention, le produit comprend au moins deux plis gaufrés.According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the product includes at least two embossed pleats.
Sans sortir du cadre de l'invention, le produit peut comprendre trois plis : deux plis extérieurs gaufrés et un pli central non gaufré.Without departing from the scope of the invention, the product can comprise three folds: two outer embossed folds and a central non-embossed fold.

Dans la suite de ce texte, comme dans le langage habituel de la technique papetière en question, les « protubérances » sont des éléments en relief sur la feuille ou le pli en ouate de cellulose, tandis que les « picots » sont des éléments en relief sur le cylindre destiné à former les protubérances sur le produit en ouate de cellulose.In the rest of this text, as in the usual language of the paper technique in question, the "protuberances" are elements in relief on the sheet or fold in cellulose wadding, while the "spikes" are elements in relief on the cylinder intended to form the protrusions on the product of cellulose wadding.
Par ailleurs, un microgaufrage comprend habituellement des protubérances de densité supérieure à 30 voire à 50 protubérances/cm2.Furthermore, a micro-embossing usually includes protuberances with a density greater than 30 or even 50 protuberances / cm 2 .
La figure 1 concerne un motif de gaufrage réalisé sur un produit selon l'invention.FIG. 1 relates to an embossing pattern produced on a product according to the invention.

La « surface gaufrée » correspond à la zone délimitée par une ligne passant par le centre de gravité des protubérances formant le contour extérieur de la zone choisie.The "embossed surface" corresponds to the area delimited by a line passing through the center of gravity of the protrusions forming the contour outside the chosen area.
Le « nombre de protubérances » est égal au nombre de protubérances situées à l'intérieur de la zone, auquel on ajoute la moitié du nombre de protubérances se trouvant sur la ligne de contour précitée.The “number of protrusions” is equal to the number of protrusions located inside the area, to which we add half the number of protrusions located on the aforementioned contour line.
La densité est égale au ratio du « nombre de protubérances » sur la « surface gaufrée ».The density is equal to the ratio of the “number of protrusions” to the "Embossed surface".
Dans le contexte de l'invention, une « zone » comprend au moins 10 protubérances alignées selon au moins deux rangées.In the context of the invention, a “zone” comprises at least 10 protuberances aligned in at least two rows.
La figure 2 illustre un autre mode de réalisation de l'invention selon
lequel le motif de gaufrage comprend deux types de microgaufrage : le
premier est formé de premières zones 1 dotées de protubérances ayant une
première densité de 61 protubérances/cm2 et une première surface au
sommet de 0,23 mm2 ; ces zones sont ici en forme d'octogone.FIG. 2 illustrates another embodiment of the invention according to which the embossing pattern comprises two types of micro-embossing: the first is formed of
Intercalées entre les premières zones on trouve des secondes zones
microgaufrées 2, de forme carrée et dont les protubérances présentent une
deuxième densité (81 1 protubérances/cm2) et une deuxième surface au
sommet : 0,13 mm2.Interspersed between the first zones there are second
Les deux types de zones sont juxtaposés. On obtient ainsi un relief bien marqué sur chaque feuille de ouate de cellulose.The two types of zones are juxtaposed. We thus obtain a relief well marked on each sheet of cellulose wadding.
Il n'y a pas de protubérance linéaire dans ce motif de gaufrage.There is no linear protuberance in this embossing pattern.
La figure 3 montre encore un autre motif de gaufrage selon l'invention.Figure 3 shows yet another embossing pattern according to the invention.
Le motif ici représenté est composé de zones 3 juxtaposées
délimitées à la fois par des premiers éléments linéaires 5 et des secondes
zones 2 constituées de protubérances ayant une forte densité.The motif shown here is made up of 3 zones juxtaposed
delimited by both first
Sur tout ou partie de leur surface, les zones 3 comprennent des
protubérances uniformément réparties de densité inférieure à la densité des
protubérances formant les zones 2. On all or part of their surface,
Conformément à l'invention, la différence de densité des protubérances entre les différentes zones est supérieure à 15 %.According to the invention, the difference in density of protrusions between the different areas is greater than 15%.
Par ailleurs, des seconds éléments linéaires 4 définissent à
l'intérieur de certaines zones 3, des motifs esthétiques, ici en forme de
tulipes.Furthermore, second
Bien entendu, le motif illustré par la figure 3 n'est qu'un exemple nullement limitatif.Of course, the pattern illustrated in Figure 3 is only an example in no way limiting.
Notamment, les éléments linéaires 1,4 ne sont pas nécessairement
présents. Lorsqu'ils sont présents, ils renforcent le relief.In particular, the
Dans tous les cas , on réalise un microgaufrage tel que la feuille présente un relief bien visible et bien défini.In all cases, a micro-embossing such as the sheet is carried out presents a clearly visible and well defined relief.
En outre, un collage peut avoir lieu pour assembler les plis : préférentiellement le collage est réalisé sur tout ou partie des zones microgaufrées et/ou du motif linéaire.In addition, a bonding can take place to assemble the folds: preferably bonding is carried out on all or part of the zones micro-embossed and / or linear pattern.
Par ailleurs, des essais ont été réalisés en gaufrant une feuille (ou pli) de ouate de cellulose entre un cylindre gravé avec un motif selon l'invention et un cylindre en caoutchouc. Cette feuille a ensuite été associée par collage à une feuille non gaufrée. L'épaisseur de la structure ainsi obtenue a été mesurée à l'aide d'un appareil micromètre LORENTZEN & WETTRE référence SE050 utilisé suivant la norme NF EN 12625-3.In addition, tests have been carried out by embossing a sheet (or fold) of cellulose wadding between an engraved cylinder with a pattern according to the invention and a rubber cylinder. This sheet was then associated by bonding to an unembossed sheet. The thickness of the structure thus obtained was measured using a micrometer device LORENTZEN & WETTRE reference SE050 used according to standard NF EN 12625-3.
On a appliqué cinq pressions de gaufrage différentes entre l'acier et le caoutchouc, ces pressions ont été relevées à l'aide de papier carbone. Pour chaque pression, une feuille de papier carbone a été placée entre le cylindre gravé et le caoutchouc. Le caoutchouc s'écrase au contact du cylindre gravé et vient « imprimer » le motif sur le papier carbone. Le NIP ou empreinte correspond à la largeur de la marque laissée par le cylindre gravé sur le papier carbone. Cette marque sera plus ou moins large en fonction de la pression de gaufrage appliquée.Five different embossing pressures were applied between the steel and rubber, these pressures were recorded using carbon paper. For each press, a sheet of carbon paper was placed between the engraved cylinder and rubber. The rubber crashes on contact with engraved cylinder and “prints” the pattern on carbon paper. PIN or imprint corresponds to the width of the mark left by the cylinder engraved on carbon paper. This mark will be more or less wide in depending on the embossing pressure applied.
La figure 4 illustre une première série d'essais destinés à montrer l'effet de la surface au sommet (ou dimension) des picots du cylindre sur l'épaisseur du produit obtenu. Partant d'une même densité de picots, ici 60 picots/cm2, des essais ont été effectués sur des motifs ayant la même profondeur et respectivement des picots de diamètre au sommet égal à 0,4 mm et 0,6 mm. En ordonnée, on trouve des épaisseurs des produits et en abscisse le NIP ou empreinte laissée par le cylindre sur le papier carbone.FIG. 4 illustrates a first series of tests intended to show the effect of the surface at the top (or dimension) of the pins of the cylinder on the thickness of the product obtained. Starting from the same density of spikes, here 60 spikes / cm 2 , tests were carried out on patterns having the same depth and respectively spikes with a diameter at the top equal to 0.4 mm and 0.6 mm. On the ordinate, there are thicknesses of the products and on the abscissa the PIN or imprint left by the cylinder on the carbon paper.
La courbe A correspond à des produits formés sur des cylindres ayant des picots de diamètre au sommet sensiblement égal à 0,4 mm tandis que la courbe B est relative à des produits formés sur des cylindres dont les picots présentent un diamètre sensiblement égal à 0,6 mm. La comparaison de ces courbes montre que pour une même empreinte, on obtient une épaisseur de la structure plus importante lorsqu'elle est obtenue avec un cylindre gravé dont les picots présentent la surface au sommet la moins importante.Curve A corresponds to products formed on cylinders having pins of diameter at the top substantially equal to 0.4 mm while that curve B relates to products formed on cylinders whose the pins have a diameter substantially equal to 0.6 mm. The comparison of these curves shows that for the same footprint, we obtains a greater thickness of the structure when it is obtained with an engraved cylinder whose pins have the surface at least important summit.
Sur la figure 5, résultant d'une deuxième série d'essais tels que définis ci-avant, les courbes C, D et E ont été obtenues pour trois produits dont les motifs de gaufrage présentent trois densités de protubérances différentes. Trois cylindres différents ont été utilisés.In FIG. 5, resulting from a second series of tests such as defined above, curves C, D and E were obtained for three products whose embossing patterns have three densities of protuberances different. Three different cylinders were used.
Partant de picots de même diamètre sur les cylindres, ici 0,4 mm, des essais ont été effectués sur des motifs ayant la même profondeur et respectivement des densités de picots de 50, 60 et 80 protubérances/cm2.Starting from pins of the same diameter on the cylinders, here 0.4 mm, tests were carried out on patterns having the same depth and respectively pin densities of 50, 60 and 80 protuberances / cm 2 .
On observe que, à empreinte égale, plus la densité des picots diminue plus l'épaisseur du produit obtenu augmente.We observe that, with equal footprint, the higher the density of the pins decreases the more the thickness of the product obtained increases.
Ainsi, en juxtaposant des zones de motifs de gaufrage ayant des densités et/ou des surfaces au sommet différentes, on peut obtenir des épaisseurs de produits différentes, permettant d'avoir l'effet de relief souhaité, sur le produit final.Thus, by juxtaposing zones of embossing patterns having densities and / or different top surfaces, we can get different product thicknesses, allowing to have the relief effect desired, on the final product.
La relation entre la variation d'épaisseur du produit et l'effet de relief est donc bien établie.The relationship between the variation in thickness of the product and the effect of relief is therefore well established.
