Definitions

  • the present invention relates to webs, such as fibrous structures, comprising a tuft, sanitary tissue products comprising same and methods for making same. More particularly, the present invention relates to webs, such as fibrous structures, comprising a tuft comprising a non- extensible material, such as non-extensible fibers, .sanitary tissue products comprising same and methods for making same.
  • Webs especially fibrous structures, comprising tufts are known in the art.
  • Such fibrous structures utilize extensible fibers and/or films to form tufts within the fibrous structures.
  • polypropylene fibers are meltblown onto a cellulosic pulp fibrous structure and then subjected to a tuft generating process which pushes the polypropylene fibers through the cellulosic pulp fibers thereby creating a polypropylene fiber tuft (an extensible fiber tuft).
  • Formulators of such webs and/or fibrous structures apparently never believed that tufts could be formed out of a non-extensible material, especially non-extensible fibers. Some of their concerns included the non-extensible fibers breaking during the tuft generating process before a tuft could be formed. As a result, a web comprising a tuft comprising a non-extensible material, especially non-extensible fibers, has never before been achieved.
  • extensible fiber and/or film materials are typically thermoplastic polymers, the cost of such materials is significant for use in fibrous structures that are incorporated into sanitary tissue products, such as bath tissue, facial tissue and paper towels, in particular, thus making it difficult for sanitary tissue product manufacturers to utilize such thermoplastic polymers.
  • the present invention fulfills the needs described above by providing a web, such as a fibrous structure, comprising a tuft comprising a non-extensible material, especially non- extensible fibers.
  • a web such as a fibrous structure, comprising a tuft comprising a non-extensible material, such as non-extensible fibers, is provided.
  • a method for making a web according to the present invention comprising the steps of: a. forming a web comprising a non-extensible material, such as non-extensible fibers; b. imparting extensibility into the web, or at least a portion of the web, to form an extensible web or portion of the web, for example such that the web exhibits a stretch of less than 800% as measured by the Short Span Tensile Test Method; and c. subjecting the extensible web or portion of the web to a tuft generating operation such that a tuft comprising a non-extensible material (for example non-extensible fibers) is formed in the web, is provided.
