An apparatus for folding an interior section of film includes at least: an idler roll separated from a rolling assembly; and an interior web folding assembly positioned between the idler roll and the rolling assembly. | 11-06-2014 |
| 20140342894 | Methods and Apparatuses for Folding Absorbent Articles - The present disclosure relates to methods and apparatuses for manufacturing absorbent articles. More particularly, the systems and methods for folding absorbent articles advancing in a converting line may be configured with tucker blades that prevent opposing end regions of absorbent articles from colliding directly with each other as the absorbent articles are being folded. | 11-20-2014 |
| 20140342895 | Methods and Apparatuses for Folding Absorbent Articles - The present disclosure relates systems and methods for folding absorbent articles advancing in a converting line. The folding processes and apparatuses herein may be configured with tucker blades that are configured to maximize the period of time wherein the leading edges of the tucker blades move at maximum speeds during the folding process. | 11-20-2014 |
| 20150126351 | TEAR-ASSIST BLADE - A material dispenser having a dispensing member configured to dispense a line of the material along a path in a downstream direction, and a cutting member having a cutting edge extending generally downstream with respect to the path. The cutting member having a convex shape across the path, such that the cutting edge engages and sequentially initiates cuts through the line of material when the line of material is pulled against the cutting member, thereby minimize cutting forces. | 05-07-2015 |
| 20150360901 | FOLDING MACHINE AND METHODS - Folding machines and methods are provided. A folding machine that utilizes a direct transfer of sheets from a knife roll to a folding roll is provided. Sheet handling rolls are provided that incorporate movable vacuum ports to assist in transfer of a sheet from one roll to another roll. | 12-17-2015 |
