Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a new multi-ply paper material, in particular made of tissue paper, for the production of napkins, handkerchiefs, rolls of toilet paper or kitchen towel and the like.
  • the invention also relates to improvements to embossing units for embossing sheets of tissue paper intended for the production of an embossed multi-ply paper material.
  • tip-to-tip embossing or joining of two or more embossed plies is intended as joining or embossing in which the protuberances of one ply, oriented towards the inside of the multi-ply material, are placed directly opposite and coinciding with protuberances of the other ply, also oriented towards the inside of the multi-ply article.
  • the two plies are in contact at the front surfaces of directly opposite protuberances oriented towards the inside of the product.
  • Linear projections 7C are provided in the area D1 surrounding the squares C1 of the roller 7.
  • said projections 7C are substantially equivalent to the projections 3C of the embossing roller 3, but oriented in the opposite direction. In this manner in the lamination nip 11 the linear projections 3C and 7C coincide mutually in intersection areas, each linear projection 7C intersecting a plurality of linear projections 3C and vice versa.
  • the projections with different heights on the same roller can be obtained by grinding in a particularly simple manner when the projections are arranged in annular bands, as shown in Figs. 10A-10B , as in this way it is possible to grind all the projections of a same annular band to the same height, and the projections of the adjacent bands to a different height.
