Description

    Field of the Invention
  • The present invention relates to technical and functional improvements in a cylinder that combines two types of lamination typically made exclusively with different rollers.
    • Background of the Invention
  • As is well known, the tissue paper, due to its peculiar characteristics, is widely used in different products, especially toilet paper, paper towels and napkins paper; however, to enhance the quality of such products, they undergo by laminating process, which traditionally can vary according to the product to be obtained.
  • Although there are several lamination processes, two of them are highlighted and given different designations such as: DESL and Point to Point, whereas they are more suitable for the production of toilet paper, paper towels and napkins paper, or others with the same characteristics.
  • The Point to Point lamination process is carried out between two synchronized steel cylinders, with extremely accurate rollers having less than 0.01 mm of circularity and less than 0.005 mm of ovalization, which allow a large volume of semi-finished product as toilet paper and paper towel, due to the cells structure. A padded is created, but it gives a flat appearance to the laminated paper.
  • DESL laminating process is carried out in a calendering roll called Marrying roll. The cylinders elements are slotted, but synchronized so that the male elements (high-relief) fit into the female parts (low-relief). This system generates a smaller volume on paper than Point to Point system, but it provides a 3D appearance with the impression of a larger volume.
    • Description of the Invention
  • The main objective of the present invention are technical and functional improvements in a cylinder by combining two types of lamination process typically made exclusively with different rollers, consequently, the said improvement solves the problems or drawbacks of merging these two outcomes features on paper, which are volume and 3D appearance. The precision of adjustments on engraved cylinder is ensured through innovative processes in the manufacture of cylinders, despite having higher elements for the simulation of DESL.
  • The innovation in the production process and timing adjustments of the cylinders allow innovative results in the field of tissue and paper converting. The combination of these two technologies has not yet been presented in the market.
    • Description of the drawings
  • For a better understanding of the present invention, a detailed description thereof is shown below, referring to the attached drawings:
    • FIGURES 1A and 1B represent schematic views highlighting the DESL tissue paper lamination process;
    • FIGURES 2A and 2B represent schematic views as well, however, highlighting Point to Point tissue paper lamination process; and
    • FIGURE 3 illustrates a schematic view of the cylinders according to the invention that simultaneously combine the two processes.
    Detailed description of the invention.
  • According to these illustrations and their details, particularly figures 1A, 1 B, 2A and 2B, the present Invention, IMPROVEMENT IN CYLINDER FOR TISSUE PAPER LAMINATION, includes two known technologies for embossing, one named DESL (1), and the other, Point to Point (2), wherein the former provided to the paper a smaller volume than Point to Point process, but provides a 3D appearance with the impression of a larger volume, while the latter provides a large volume of semi-finished product such as toilet paper and paper towels, due to cells structure.
  • On Figures 1A and 1 B it is schematically shown the DESL process (1), whereby it can be seen that the two paper layers (3 and 4) pass through their respective embossing cylinders (5 and 6), which jointly operate with calendering rolls (7, 8 and 9), and other sizing rolls (10) so that after the embossing of the paper layers (3 and 4), the same overlap to form a double overlying layer (11), defining a lamination which is held in a calendering roll (8) called Marrying roll, and at this point, the elements of cylinders are slotted, but synchronized, where the male elements (high relief) (12) fit into female elements (low relief) (13), resulting in a smaller volume in double paper (11) when compared with the Point to Point process (2), but providing a 3D appearance, creating the impression of a larger volume.
  • On Figures 2A and 2B it is schematically illustrated the Point to Point process (2), where it can be seen that the two paper layers (3 and 4) pass through their respective embossing cylinders (14 and 15), which operate in conjunction with calendering rolls (16, 17) and other sizing rollers (18), such that after the embossing of the paper layers (3 and 4) the same overlap to form a double overlying layer (19) where reliefs of one paper and another have male elements glued on top (20) forming overlapped dots, while the female elements are combined to form a hollow portion (21), producing a padded effect, but giving a flat appearance to double-laminated paper.
  • Therefore, the Point to Point process is a lamination between two synchronized steel cylinders (14 and 15), both extremely accurate having less than 0.01 mm of circularity and less of 0.005 mm of ovalization, which allow a large volume of semi-finished product as toilet paper and paper towels, due to cells structure. Creating a padded, but with a flat appearance to the laminated paper.
  • As illustrated on Figure 3, the present invention is characterized by the fact that it comprises an embossing cylinder (22) which includes a combined DESL (1) and Point to Point (2) embossing process and, for this purpose, higher elements (23) are provided to DESL process and lower elements (24) for Point to Point process, such elements forming various reliefs on paper surface and can compose figures, ribbing and all sorts of drawings.
  • The combination of both systems into a cylinder (22) definitely solves the problems or drawbacks of combining these two outcomes features in paper, such as volume and 3D appearance. The precision of adjustments on engraved cylinder is ensured through innovative processes in the manufacture of cylinders, even having higher elements for simulating DESL process.
  • It will be understood that certain characteristics and combinations of embossing rollers and cylinders, as well as the sizing systems, may considerably vary while maintaining the same functional concept for the assembly, consequently, we note that the embodiment herein described in detail by way of example is clearly open to constructive variations, but always within the scope of the inventive concept herein described of an embossing cylinder (22), which includes combined DESL (1) and Point to Point (2) lamination process, and as many modifications can be made on herein detailed configuration according to the descriptive requirements of the law, it is understood that the present details should be interpreted in an illustrative and not limiting manner.
