  • Layer adhesion by mechanical action in the manner explained above is produced, for example, by a method with the aid of a connecting embossing station, in which the tissue web according to the invention, which consists of several tissue layers, is passed through a further embossing gap which is formed from two rotating steel rollers, by which a harder steel roller carries masculine embossed knobs, while the other, softer steel roller has a smooth surface and in which the roller bearing the masculine knobs is pressed against the smooth surface of the counter roller in such a way that the tissue layers of the tissue web located between the rollers are in the press nip at the locations where embossed knobs of the steel roller carrying knobs are deformed, the knobs of which are reflected in all tissue layers, so that the tissue layers leaving the press nip now themselves have knobs.

If the studded steel roller of the connecting embossing station is subdivided into narrow sections, one speaks of wheels from a certain ratio of the jacket length to the roller diameter.
  • these narrow roller sections serve exclusively to hold the layers of the individual tissue layers of a multi-layered tissue and do not cover these "wheels" with studs, they do not cover the entire width of the tissue web, but rather, as separate individual wheels, are limited in zones to certain locations on the tissue web so-called knurled wheels.
  • These knurled wheels (wide knurled wheels) of high hardness carrying the connecting embossed knobs are usually suspended individually and press against a mostly continuous white steel roller with a smooth surface and thereby form an embossing gap in which knobs are knocked on all tissue layers in every tissue position due to the mechanical action of the steel knobs are formed (shown), which slide into each other and interlock with one another, whereby in addition to mechanical interlocking of the roughness peaks of the tissue within the knobs formed at high surface pressure, “welding” of individual fibers to one another is also considered for the surface connection to one another.

  • the mesh-like depressions leave rows of essentially square or in a further embodiment (here (not shown) diamond-shaped elevations which remain as remnants of the originally essentially flat end face of each individual knurled knob when the recesses are finely engraved.
  • These resident subareas of the knurled knob surface are arranged in rows like the knobs themselves, whose grid division is identified by the reference number 73 as being the same.
  • FIG. 9C also shows, the rows of the resident subareas of each knurled knob end face are inclined at an angle 74 to the edge of the end face, which is of particular importance for perfect knurling without wrinkling in the tissue.
  • the present invention is explained below by means of exemplary embodiments which have been obtained in connection with carrying out a consumer test.
  • the two commercially available brand toilet papers, pattern A and pattern C differed in the fiber raw material used (recycled fibers from deinked waste paper) in such a way that the proportion of lower waste paper quality for the toilet paper according to sample A was higher than that for the production of toilet paper according to the sample C, recognizable from the outside by a significantly lower whiteness of pattern A compared to pattern C.
  • toilet paper according to sample A had a basis weight of 17.5 g / m 2 for the individual layer
  • those according to sample C had a basis weight of only 17.0 g / m 2 and layer.
  • the comparison products to be assessed in a monadic test arrangement were prototypes of a corresponding toilet paper made from the respectively identical raw tissue quality with samples A and C, each with a comparable basis weight, but according to the invention with an unembossed middle layer (samples B and sample D) ).
  • the outer layers of these prototype-like comparative products, pattern B and pattern D, had surface embossing comparable to patterns A and C with a comparable intensity.
  • sample B was assessed by the test subjects as significantly softer and more skin-friendly than sample A, i.e. 54% in favor of sample B versus 39% for sample A, whereas 7% considered samples A and B to be equally soft and skin-friendly.
  • tissue paper qualities according to sample C and according to sample D were also carried out with the tissue paper qualities according to sample C and according to sample D.
  • the tissue quality D was regarded by 73% of the consumers as significantly softer and more tear-resistant than pattern C, that is to say, pattern C was felt by only 27% of the consumers as softer and also more tear-resistant.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un papier soie multicouche en feuille continue, présentant au moins une couche médiane non gaufrée, sensiblement librement mobile, et dont les couches sont de préférence assemblées les une aux autres par un gaufrage de liaison commun auxdites couches. Les couches individuelles sont lisses ou comportent un modèle gaufré s'étendant sensiblement sur toute la surface. Le gaufrage de liaison est réalisé sous la forme de bandes gaufrées (4, 5) couvrant une partie de la largeur de la feuille (6), reliées des deux côtés, directement aux bords (2, 3) de la feuille multicouche (1). De préférence, plusieurs couches externes préalablement gaufrées (18, 20) sont assemblées avec un modèle de gaufrage de liaison identique ou similaire en apparence au modèle gaufré des couches.
