Definitions

  • the present invention relates to tissue products, and more particularly to tissue products having a high caliper, low density, absorbent inner layer.
  • Cellulosic fibrous structures such as paper webs, are well known in the art. Such paper webs can be used for facial tissues, toilet tissue, paper towels, and napkins, each of which is in widespread use today. If these products are to perform their intended tasks and find wide acceptance, the fibrous structure should exhibit suitable properties in terms of absorbency, bulk, strength, and softness.
  • tissue during use In order to prevent fluids from passing through the tissue during use, consumers perform various compensating actions. For example, many consumers have been known to fold a tissue in half or select several tissues at once prior to use in order to enhance absorbency and strength as well as provide an improved barrier to prevent the fluids from wetting their hands. Such practices may be adequate in preventing hand wetting during use, however, they largely increase product consumption.
  • tissue products For example, one or more plies of tissue may be treated with a substance designed to entrap and contain droplets of fluids.
  • a substance designed to entrap and contain droplets of fluids may not form a complete barrier to the passage of fluids, particularly small droplets which can readily "strikethrough" tissue paper, or liquid that can be rapidly absorbed through. Therefore, treated tissues may not be capable of preventing the contamination of the hands of the user.
  • Disposable absorbent bandages typically include baby diapers, adult incontinence products and sanitary napkins, which are subject to repeated and heavy loadings of bodily fluids.
  • One such attempt in this art is shown in commonly assigned U.S. Patent Nos. 4,141,772 issued February 27, 1979 and 4,217,078 issued August 12, 1980, both issued to Buell and incorporated herein by reference.
  • Buell '772 and Buell '078 teach an airlaid web comprising a 5 ply laminate having 2 airfelt plies, 2 tissue plies, and a central reinforcing ply.
  • Such a construction while suitable for absorbent bandages and distributing fluids, would be infeasible for the present invention.
  • the Buell construction shows two distinct airfelt layers separated by a reinforcing ply. This arrangement, while feasible for disposable absorbent bandages would yield a product too thick and too stiff for use as a facial or bath tissue, etc. Furthermore, the intent of the facial tissue is to trap and prevent the spread of bodily fluids - rather than distribute such bodily fluids throughout the product in order to accommodate subsequent loadings.
  • tissue product providing sufficient absorption, softness, and hand protection without requiring the consumer to perform compensating actions.
  • a tissue product comprising two outer cellulosic plies, and inner layer.
  • the inner layer can be composed of passively bonded or actively bonded, hydrophilic fibers forming a high caliper, low density absorbent layer.
  • the passively bonded, hydrophilic fibers can include natural fibers such as cotton and air blown pulp or synthetic fibers.
  • the actively bonded hydrophilic fibers can comprise wet laid cellulose or synthetic nonwovens.
  • the inner layer can have a caliper ranging from about 0.010 inches to about 0.030 inches and an apparent density of less than about 0.11 g/cm .
  • the tissue product can have a total caliper ranging from about 0.026 inches to about 0.044 inches, an absorbency ranging from about 15 g/g to about 30 g/g, a compressibility ranging from 20% to 99%, and a percent rebound ranging from about 30% to about 99%.
  • Figure 1 is a cross-sectional view of a paper web having a liquid impermeable, breathable barrier layer according to the present invention.
  • Figure. 2 is a schematic, side elevational representation of an apparatus for making a liquid impermeable, breathable paper web having a barrier layer according to the present invention.
  • Figure 3 is a plan view of an alternative embodiment, shown partially in cutaway, of a paper web of the present invention, showing adhesive bonding along at least two edges.
  • Figure 4 is a plot of a typical output for a bending stiffness test.
  • Figure 5 is a linear regression analysis of the bending stiffness output in Figure 4.
  • Basis weight is the weight per unit area of a sample reported in lbs/3000 ft (grams per square meter).
  • Caliper is the macroscopic thickness of a sample measured as described below.
  • Apparent density is the basis weight of the sample divided by the caliper with appropriate unit conversions incorporated therein. Apparent density used herein has the units of grams / centimeters cubed (g/cm ).
  • Machine direction is the direction parallel to the flow of the fiber structure through the product manufacturing equipment.
  • Cross machine direction is the direction perpendicular to the machine direction in the same plane of the tissue product.
  • Absorbency is the ability of a material to take up fluids by various means including capillary, osmotic, solvent or chemical action and retain such fluids.
  • Flexibility is a measure of deformation under a given load without being broken and with or without returning of itself to its former shape.
  • a fiber is a slender object having a major axis which is very long compared to the two orthogonal axes and having an aspect ratio of at least 4/1, preferably at least 10/1.
  • Hydrophilic refers to materials having an affinity for attracting or absorbing water.
  • a "paper web” or “cellulosic paper web” refers to the web of the present invention, which comprises at least one component layer comprising passively bonded, hydrophilic fibers.
  • the web of the present invention comprises passively bonded, hydrophilic fibers between cellulosic paper layers.
  • plies means an individual web component to be disposed in a substantially contiguous, face to face relationship with other plies, forming a multiple ply web of the present invention. It is also contemplated that a single web component can effectively form two "plies", for example, by being folded on itself. Therefore, a cellulosic layer folded on itself, with a layer of passively bonded, hydrophilic fibers inserted between the two folded portions would effectively form a three ply web of the present invention. Likewise, a component ply folded upon itself without any additional plies inserted between the folded portions would effectively form a two ply web.
  • liquid refers primarily to bodily fluids, such as water, mucous, saliva, blood and other body fluids, but may also include other liquids.
  • Liquid refers to liquid fluids, as opposed to gaseous or vapor fluids. Certain body fluids, such as mucous, may have very high viscosities, but are still considered liquids for the purposes of the present invention.
  • passive bonding when referring to fiber-to-fiber bonds it is meant bonding in the absence of some external medium such as hydrogen molecular bonds or adhesive bonds, enabling the fibers to slide relative to one another when disturbed by external forces.
  • the tensile strength of a layer comprising passively bonded fibers is typically less than about 130 grams.
  • Passive bonding is generally very light, and represents the natural affinity of materials to remain in contact once placed in contact with one another. For example, passive bonding may be due to inherent static electric charges or cohesive forces. Passive bonding can also refer to the bonding that occurs when two plies of material are brought into contact with one another, such that the materials cohesively attach to one another.
  • active bonding when referring to fiber to fiber bonds is meant bonding via an external medium such as hydrogen bonds or adherent bonding with agents such as adhesives or latex.
  • agents such as adhesives or latex.
  • the tensile strength of a layer comprising actively bonded fibers is typically greater than about 130 grams.
  • Active bonding when referring to bonds between plies can also include adhesive bonds as well as thermal or ultrasonic bonds, embossing, needling and other mechanical engagement means.

  • the high caliper, low density, absorbent inner layer 20 can comprise passively bonded or actively bonded, hydrophilic fibers.
  • the passively bonded, hydrophilic fibers can include natural fibers such as cotton and air blown pulp as well as bicomponent synthetic fibers composed of polyethylene and polypropylene treated with surfactant for hydrophilicity.
  • the actively bonded fibers can include wet laid cellulose or synthetic nonwovens.
  • a multi-ply tissue product comprising various combinations of high caliper, low density, absorbent plies disposed between and contiguous with cellulosic paper webs. Such various combinations are also contemplated and considered to be within the scope of the present invention.
  • the benefits of the present invention includes providing tissue product having absorption capacity via the inner layer that enables consumers to use the product without experiencing hand wetting and without the need for compensating action such as folding or multiple tissues.
  • the tissue product of the present invention can be provided in reduced sizes while providing the performance of a standard full size article.
  • the standard article size is about 72.6 inches .
  • the size of the tissue product of the present invention can range from a low limit of about 15 inches
  • tissue product is about 49.5 inches .
  • bath tissue commonly termed toilet paper
  • toilet paper may also benefit from the attributes of the high caliper, low density, absorbent inner layer. Having a soft, flexible, absorbent bath tissue can eliminate the unpleasant experience of wet fingers or hands during or after use.
  • paper webs of the present invention may be useful as paper towels, napkins, and the like.
  • Tissue product 10 may be prepared as a single sheet for use as a facial tissue, napkin, paper towel, or bath tissue, depending on the type of paper used for the cellulosic paper webs.
  • a plurality of paper webs 10 may also be provided on a roll having perforations to define individual web sections where each section is removable for use, such as is commonly used for bath tissue (e.g., toilet paper). If prepared as bath tissue, roll dispensing is the preferred method of use, and paper such as found in the commercially successful CHARMIN® brand tissue paper can be used as the cellulosic paper layer.

  • the outer cellulosic plies of the multi-ply tissue product of the present invention can be formed by either passively or actively bonding the outer cellulosic plies to opposite sides of the inner high caliper low density inner layer. Passive bonding provides relatively little bond strength between the plies, to hold the plies together for normal use. When used as a folded and stacked tissue as well as core wound tissue, the tissue product 10 of the present invention exhibits sufficient ply-to-ply bonding to prevent unintentional debonding of the plies. Without being bound by theory, it is believed that the passive bonding of the plies may be due to static electric charges present in the materials, and may be somewhat variable due to other factors, for example, relative moisture levels in the ply components.
  • light active bonding may occur due to mechanical bonding of the exposed fibers of the inner layer 20 to contacting fibers of cellulosic webs 30.
  • the mechanical bonding may be analogous to "hook and loop" fasteners, wherein bonding is facilitated by the engagement of male and female members of the constituent components.
  • the plies of the tissue product 10 of the present invention can be passively bonded by the method disclosed above with reference to the apparatus shown in FIG. 2. However, if desired, it is contemplated that a certain amount of adhesive or other active bonding means could be added to provide additional adhesion to portions of the component plies. For example, needling, embossing, or other thermal or mechanical bonding means could be used to actively bond the paper web 30 near some or all of the edges of paper web 30, thereby providing increased resistance to undesired delamination of the component plies.
  • Joining may also be by ultrasonic bonding or autogeneous bonding as disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 4,919,738 issued April 24, 1990 to Ball et al., or other bonding methods known in the art.
  • adhesive bonding may not provide active bonding, depending on the adhesive used, and the surface energy characteristics of the inner layer.
  • mechanical bonding may be more desirable, for example by mechanical bonding at a mechanical bonding station after formation of the multiple ply web.
  • FIG. 2 shows a mechanical bonding station 270, which may be embossing rollers, ultrasonic bonding means, needling means, or other non-adhesive bonding methods.
  • a tissue product 10 of the present invention may be comprised of two outer cellulosic plies 30, and a high caliper, low density, absorbent inner layer 20 comprising cotton batting, cotton fibers, or air blown pulp, as disclosed above, wherein the inner layer has a smaller width dimension Wl than the width dimension W2 of the outer cellulosic plies.
  • the two outer cellulosic plies may be joined at the edges in a bonding region 25, such as by a strip of adhesive. Joining, or bonding, may be accomplished by a continuous strip of adhesive, a discontinuous strip, such as spots of adhesive, or per the teachings of commonly assigned U.S.
  • adhesive can be applied along opposing longitudinal edges in the machine direction by a print applicator 260, as shown in FIG. 2.
