Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a process for the manufacture of fibrous cellulosic products, such as, in particular, facial tissues or rectangular or square towels.
  • It may be a colored pattern that is printed on the product and / or embossed pattern embossed in the thickness of the product.
  • each stack of products comprises products with at least two different patterns, each stack having alternately products having a first pattern and products having a second pattern distinct from the first pattern.
  • each series of products is carried out independently of the other then the products are stacked, by automated means, alternately taking a product in one or the other series of cut products.
  • This manufacturing process is particularly complex, slow and expensive in its final phase because it requires, in addition to conventional facilities for the independent manufacture of both series of products, to have a complementary facility for alternating stacking.
  • Another known technique is that used for entangled facial type products.
  • a handkerchief with embossing A followed by a handkerchief with embossing B it would be necessary to install an embossing group on each of the rolls of cellulose wadding, hence an increase of not insignificant material.
  • the object of the invention is to propose a new manufacturing method that makes it possible to eliminate the complementary alternating stacking installation, and thus to reduce the time and the cost of manufacturing alternating product packages.
  • the invention proposes a manufacturing method of the type mentioned above, according to claim 1.
  • the cutting of the strip allows to obtain the continuous flow of alternating products which can be immediately automatically stacked one after the other to constitute the desired pile.
  • the products are folded, in a longitudinal orientation before being cut to size, and they can also be folded in a transverse orientation after having been cut into the format and before to be stacked.
  • two continuous and adjacent strips are simultaneously produced for the simultaneous constitution of two stacks each comprising at least two alternating products of different patterns, and the two adjacent strips are made of a single width that is longitudinally separated into two bands before cutting the strips.
  • the alternating products of each of the two adjacent strips may be of the same length and aligned longitudinally or they may be offset longitudinally.
  • Each of the two strips can comprise alternately first and second products, a first product of one of the strips being for example adjacent to a second product of the other band.
  • Each band may comprise an association of at least two individual plies, or sheets, of cellulose wadding, superimposed.
  • the two bands may be of the same color or not, and be composed of cellulose wadding different in nature.
  • a continuous band comprises successively and alternately in its length first and second fibrous cellulosic products respectively comprising a first and a second decorative pattern.
  • tissues of paper in particular cellulose wadding, which are generally square in shape and packaged in stacks of tissues each of which has tissues of different patterns folded and wrapped in a plastic case.
  • FIG. 1 shows an installation comprising a coil 10 from which a width 12 of cellulose wadding is unwound.
  • the width 12 which may be a single-ply or multiple-ply sheet, first passes into a calendering station 14 whose function is to smooth the paper and give it softness by passing it through. between two calendering rollers 16.
  • the sheet 12 then passes to an embossing station 18 comprising for example a rubber cylinder 20 and an engraved steel cylinder 22, the station 18 having the function of embossing different patterns on the width 12, these patterns can also be colored .
  • an embossing station 18 comprising for example a rubber cylinder 20 and an engraved steel cylinder 22, the station 18 having the function of embossing different patterns on the width 12, these patterns can also be colored .
  • the embossing of patterns on the web 12 is such that it results in producing two adjacent longitudinal strips, each of which, according to the teachings of the invention, comprises successively and alternately in its length of tissues M1 and M2 having distinct decorative patterns.
  • each etched strip b1, b2, and therefore each strip of embossed paper B1, B2, thus comprises the two patterns alternately.
  • the design of the engraved cylinder 22 is also such that the patterns have the same circumferential length in the running direction M, and a first pattern m1 is aligned in the running direction with a pattern m2 of the other band.
  • a width 12 is thus obtained comprising the two adjacent strips B1 and B2, each of which alternately includes the tissues M1 and M2.
  • the installation illustrated in Figure 1 comprises a station 24, said slitting by which is separated by cutting strips B1 and B2. These then continue to run parallel and at the same speed on guide rollers 26 and 28 and then to a station 30, not shown in detail in the figures, where the operations of longitudinal folding of the tissues are performed.
  • the two strips then arrive at a common cutting station 32 where the simultaneous cross section of the handkerchiefs of the two bands is carried out.
  • Each file then passes to a station 34 where is made a transverse folding to result in the formation of two rows of tissues cut and folded. They finally come out of the installation in an arrangement that makes it possible to automatically produce series of P batteries of tissues each of which has an alternating stack of tissues M1 and M2.
  • each cell P by packaging means (not shown in the figures) for making tissue packs each having a case in which is housed a stack of tissues.
  • the patterns of the bands may be longitudinally offset from one band adjacent to the other.
  • the invention is of course not limited to the case where each of the cells comprises tissues belonging to two different series.
  • each band comprises successively and alternately tissues with different decorations, for example three or four different and successive decorations.
  • the installation uses a sheet or web 12 consisting of three superimposed folds which, beyond the calendering station 14, are divided into a single lower fold S and a double upper fold D.
  • the double upper fold D is driven between the rubber cylinder 20 and the engraved cylinder 22 of the embossing station.
  • a gluing station 36 which is here shown schematically in the form of a gluing group with two cylinders and with doctor chamber, d other more conventional sizing groups that can be envisaged, for example of the known three-roll type.
  • the single lower ply is married to the double upper fold embossed and glued by means of a marrying cylinder 38.
  • FIG. 6 The rest of the installation shown in FIG. 6 is similar to that described and shown with reference to FIG. 1, and thus makes it possible to produce stacks of tissues with two alternating patterns with embossed and glued edges.
  • an applicator roll 40 having application areas corresponding to the peripheral areas of the handkerchiefs which will then be etched.
  • the third single lower fold S is assembled to the double top fold D at the same time as the embossing of the patterns is performed by means of the rolls 20 and 22.
  • the remainder of the installation, downstream of the embossing station 18, is identical to that described and shown with reference to FIG. 1 and it makes it possible to produce stacks of tissues with two alternating patterns with glued and embossed edges.
