US Classification:

428172, 4272082, 4272084, 427277

Abstract:

A high speed embossing and adhesive printing process using a first and second embossing rolls having complementary embossing pattern disposed thereon. A web of sheet material is placed in contact with an adhesive applied to the first embossing roll. The adhesive forms an adhesive pattern on the web of sheet material in register with the first embossing pattern of the first embossing roll. The web of sheet material is then passed between the first and second embossing rolls which emboss the web with the complementary embossing pattern.

US Classification:

2425333, 2425334, 2425335

Abstract:

A winder for winding a web material into rolls is disclosed and claimed. The winder is provided with a winding spindle that is rotatably driven about an axis generally parallel to the cross-machine direction of the web material. The web material is disposed about the winding spindle when the web material is proximate thereto. The winder is also provided with a contact roll disposed adjacent, and contacting a portion of the web material being disposed about, the winding spindle. Each of the winding spindle and the contact roll are capable of cooperative engagement when the web material is disposed therebetween. Both the winding spindle and the contact roll are operatively disposed upon a winding turret. The contact roll is adjustable relative to the winding spindle when the web material is disposed upon the winding spindle.

US Classification:

242526000, 242533600, 242541400

Abstract:

A winder for winding continuous webs or interleaved web segments having a machine direction and a cross-machine direction coplanar and orthogonal thereto into rolls is disclosed. The winder comprises a first surface contact roll having a longitudinal axis parallel to the cross-machine direction associated thereto. The web material contacts at least a portion of the first surface contact roll. The winder also has a winding spindle arranged to be rotatably driven about an axis generally parallel to the longitudinal axis of the first surface contact roll. The winding spindle is capable of receiving the web material when the winding spindle is proximate the web material contacting the first surface contact roll. Each of the winding spindle and first surface contact roll is capable of cooperative engagement when the web material is disposed therebetween. Further, the longitudinal axis of the first surface contact roll is adjustable relative to the winding axis of the winding spindle when the web material is received by the winding spindle.
