20100230858 | PROCESS FOR MAKING AN EMBOSSED WEB - A process for making an embossed web. A precursor web is provided between a forming structure and a compliant substrate. The forming structure has a plurality of discrete protruded elements and lands completely surrounding them. Pressure is provided between the compliant substrate and the forming structure to conform the precursor web to the forming structure to form the embossed web. The resulting embossed web has a plurality of discrete extended elements completely surrounded by land areas. | 09-16-2010 |
20100233428 | ARTICLE HAVING A SEAL AND PROCESS FOR FORMING THE SAME - An article having an embossed seal includes at least two webs, and an embossed seal joining a portion of the at least two webs, the seal including co-registered concentric discrete extended elements formed in the at least two webs, the discrete extended elements having open proximal ends. | 09-16-2010 |
20100233438 | COLORED WEB MATERIAL COMPRISING A PLURALITY OF DISCRETE EXTENDED ELEMENTS - A colored web material comprising a plurality of discrete extended elements. The colored web material comprises a colorant incorporated in the material itself or a colorant disposed on at least one surface of the web material. The discrete extended elements comprise thinned portions at the distal ends and/or along the sidewalls of the discrete extended elements. In one embodiment, the discrete extended elements have a diameter of less than about 500 microns. In one embodiment, the colored web material comprises at least about 95 discrete extended elements per square centimeter. In one embodiment, the discrete extended elements have an aspect ratio of at least about 0.2. | 09-16-2010 |
20100233439 | WEB MATERIAL EXHIBITING VIEWING-ANGLE DEPENDENT COLOR AND COMPRISING A PLURALITY OF DISCRETE EXTENDED ELEMENTS - A colored web material exhibiting viewing-angle dependent color and comprising a plurality of discrete extended elements. In one embodiment, the colored web material comprises a first web material and a second web material, wherein the first web material comprises a first polymer having first refractive properties and the second web material comprises a second polymer having second refractive properties, wherein said first refractive properties of said first polymer are different than said second refractive properties of said second polymer. In one embodiment, the colored web material comprises an interference pigment incorporated in at least one layer of the colored web material. In one embodiment, the discrete extended elements have a diameter of less than about 500 microns. In one embodiment, the colored web material comprises at least about 95 discrete extended elements per square centimeter. In one embodiment, the discrete extended elements have an aspect ratio of at least about 0.2. | 09-16-2010 |
20110223388 | PROCESS FOR MAKING A FILM/NONWOVEN LAMINATE - An article includes a film and a non-woven having fibers, and an embossed seal joining a portion of the film and the non-woven. The seal includes discrete extended elements formed in the film and surrounded by lands in the film. The discrete extended elements having open proximal ends, open or closed distal ends, and sidewalls disposed between the proximal and distal ends, and portions of the discrete extended elements having a thickness less than that of the lands. Fibers of the non-woven are embedded in at least one of the lands and in the sidewalls of the discrete extended elements through the open proximal ends. | 09-15-2011 |
