    PAPER ROLLS WITHOUT CORE AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THE SAME. The present invention features coreless paper rolls that can be produced without having to use an adhesive to form a hollow center. Instead, moisture can be used to promote weak hydrogen bonds between the layers of the paper web that lines the hollow center. The hydrogen bonds provide sufficient structure to maintain the shape of the hollow center without rendering the paper web surrounding the passage unusable. In accordance with the present invention, passages can also be formed which are substantially circular, so that the rollers can easily rotate on a rod. In an alternative embodiment, moisture is not used in the construction of the rolled paper roll.

    HISTORIC
    [001] Many paper products, such as toilet papers and paper towels, are manufactured and sold as spiral-wound rolls. Typically, the paper product is rolled over a tubular core that is made of a rigid cardboard material. The tubular core is useful as it allows the product to be dispensed from a support that is inserted through the tubular core. Toilet paper holders, for example, typically include a rod that extends through the hollow core. Once placed on the rod, the toilet paper roll can be easily unrolled and used by the consumer.
    [002] Once a spiral-wound paper product is exhausted or consumed, however, the consumer is left with the tubular core that is usually discarded. Thus, the tubular core not only increases the cost of the paper product, but also represents waste that has an adverse environmental impact if not recycled.
    [003] In the past, those skilled in the art have suggested producing “coreless” paper products. For example, coreless paper rolls are described in U.S. Patent No. 4,487,378 and U.S. Patent No. 5,722,608, which are hereby incorporated by reference. The coreless products proposed in the past, however, have had several disadvantages and drawbacks.
    [004] For example, many coreless products produced in the past require an adhesive to be applied to multiple sheets of paper around the opening in the roll. The adhesive is intended to stiffen the sheets of paper immediately near the center of the roll to prevent the product from deforming during use. Placing an adhesive on the paper sheet, however, adversely affects the product and makes the end of the paper roll unusable. Thus, a portion of the product is typically discarded representing waste.
    [005] Another drawback of projects without a core is that the opening formed in the product is either very small, non-existent or non-circular. Non-circular openings, for example, do not rotate as easily on rods. Products containing a very small or no opening, on the other hand, require a special adapter to dispense the product.
    [006] In view of the above, there is currently a demand for an improved coreless paper product and a product manufacturing process. ABSTRACT
    [007] In general, the present invention is directed to a paper product without core and to a process for producing the product. The coreless rolls of the present invention, in one embodiment, are made of a sheet of paper wound in a spiral that defines a hollow passage through the center of the roll. The passage is covered only by the sheet of paper itself. The passageway can be substantially circular. As used in this document, the phrase "substantially circular" means that the circumference of the passageway is free of any constraints of edges or rounding and is free of any domed portions for the interior. In one embodiment, for example, the circumference of the passageway may have a radius that varies no more than about 25%, such as no more than about 20%, such as no more than about 15%, such as no more than about 10%.
    [008] With particular advantage, the passage can be formed in a spiral-wound norolo without the use of a core and without the use of an adhesive that adheres the inner layers together. In the past, for example, various types of adhesives, such as starch adhesives, have been used to form hollow passages without the use of a core. Unfortunately, however, the adhesive made the end of the roll unusable. Thus, although a core was not used to form the product, the residue was still produced. The present invention has found a way to solve the above problem.
    [009] In one embodiment, for example, the present invention is directed to a paper product comprising a sheet of paper wound in a spiral to form a roll. The roll axially defines a passage that extends from a first end of the roll to a second opposite end of the roll in a direction perpendicular to the length of the sheet of paper. The passage is covered only by the sheet of paper and can have a substantially circular shape in cross section. The passageway, for example, can have a diameter of at least about 1.27 cm, such as from about 1.27 cm to about 7.62 cm in one embodiment. According to the present invention, the passage is formed without any layers of paper sheet being glued together by an adhesive. As used in this document, the term "adhesive" refers to a substance, such as a paste, a hot melt polymer, or the like that is sticky or sticky and causes two surfaces to stick together.
    [0010] In one embodiment, for example, the inner layers of the roll that line the passage can be lightly glued together, using only hydrogen bonds. Any suitable method or technique can be used to create hydrogen bonds between the inner layers. In one embodiment, for example, moisture can be introduced between the inner layers in a way that promotes hydrogen bonding. As used herein, moisture is not considered an adhesive.
    [0011] With particular advantage, the last sheets or panels on a paper roll made according to the present invention that line the passage are usable by the consumer. In particular, the roll is constructed in such a way that the physical properties of the last sheets are substantially the same as the sheets of paper on the rest of the roll. For example, the last five sheets, the last two sheets, and even the last sheet of the paper roll can have physical properties that vary by less than 50%, as well as less than 30%, as well as less than about 20%. %, as well as even less than about 10% compared to the other sheets on the roll. Physical properties that remain substantially unchanged may include stiffness, tensile strength (geometric mean tensile strength), absorbency, or mixtures thereof.
    [0012] The absorption capacity of paper products can be determined according to the following procedure. A container large enough to hold water to a depth of at least 2 inches (5.08 cm) is filled with distilled water.
    [0013] A scale, such as the OHAUS GT480 scale, is used, in addition to a stopwatch. A cutting device, such as the one sold under the trade name TMI DGD by Testing Machines, Inc., of Aimityville, NY, and a matrix with dimensions of 4 inches by 4 inches (+ - 0.01 Inch) (10.16 cm by 10.16 cm + - 0.25 cm) are also used. Matrix-sized samples are cut and weighed dry to the nearest 0.01 gram. The timer is started when the sample is placed in the container with water (or oil) and soaked for 3 minutes + - 5 seconds. At the end of the specified time, the sample is removed by forceps and attached to a hanging clamp to hang in a "diamond" position to ensure adequate fluid flow from the sample. In addition, the sample hung in a chamber having 100 percent relative humidity for 3 minutes + - 5 seconds. The sample is then dropped on the scale plate after releasing the clamp. The weight is then recorded to the nearest 0.01 gram. The absorbent or absorptive capacity of each sample is then calculated as follows: Absorbent Capacity (g) = Wet weight (g) - Dry weight (g)
    [0014] This gives an absorption capacity in grams for the sample, which is often reported in relation to the weight of the sample, giving a specific absorption capacity with units of grams absorbed per gram of the sample.
    [0015] The stiffness of a paper product can be measured according to the "cup crush" test. The cup smash test assesses the stiffness of the paper by measuring the peak load (also called "cup smash load" or just "cup smash") required for a 4.5 cm diameter foot to form hemispherical crush a 23 cm by 23 cm piece of paper in the form of an inverted cup approximately 6.5 cm in diameter by 6.5 cm in height, while the paper in the form of a cup is surrounded by a cylinder of approximately 6, 5 cm in diameter to maintain a uniform deformation of the paper in the form of a cup. An average of 10 readings is used. The foot and cup are aligned to avoid contact between the cup walls and the foot, which could affect readings. Peak load is measured while the foot is descending at a rate of about 0.25 inches per second (380 mm per minute) and is measured in grams. The cup smashing test also produces a value for the total energy required to smash a sample (the cup smashing energy) which is the energy from the start of the test to the point of the peak load, that is, the area under the curve formed by the load in grams on one axis and the distance the foot travels in millimeters on the other. The crushing energy of the cup is therefore reported in g * mm. Lower cup crush values indicate a softer laminate. A suitable device for measuring cup crushing is an FTD-G-500 load cell (500 gram range) available from Schaevitz Company of Pennsauken, N.J.
    [0016] In general, any suitable sheet of paper can be formed into a product according to the present invention. The sheet of paper, for example, can comprise a toilet paper, a paper towel, a napkin, a facial paper, or the like. In one embodiment, the sheet of paper has a specific volume (bulk) greater than about 3 cm3 / g, such as from about 3 cm3 / g to about 15 cm3 / g, and contains cellulose pulp fibers in an amount of at least about 50% by weight, such as an amount of at least about 80% by weight. In one embodiment, for example, the paper sheet may be made entirely of pulp fibers.
    [0017] The weight of the paper sheet may vary depending on the particular product. The weight of the paper sheet can vary, for example, from about 8 g / m2 to about 120 g / m2. In one embodiment, for example, the sheet of paper can have a weight from about 8 g / m2 to about 30 g / m2. In an alternative embodiment, the weight of the paper sheet can be from about 25 g / m2 to about 80 g / m2.
    [0018] The sheet of paper may also include perforation lines that allow a user to detach a portion of the sheet of paper from the rest of the roll. For example, in one embodiment, the sheet of paper may define a plurality of perforation lines that extend perpendicularly along the length of the sheet of paper and that are spaced at regular intervals.
    [0019] Sheets of paper can be single or multilayered and sheets of multiple layers can be formed from the same sheet or from different sheets. Since the sheets have two surfaces that can be different, the multilayer sheets can be oriented in such a way that one or more similar surfaces are in contact with each other on the roll. The layers may be substantially loose or have been mechanically or chemically attached to each other.
    [0020] The sheet of paper can be dispensed from the roll wound in a spiral by unrolling the sheet of paper from the outside of the roll or by unrolling the sheet of paper from the inside of the roll through the passage. When dispensed from the passage, for example, the sheet of paper may include an end edge that is adhesive-bonded to the outer surface of the roll. The leading edge of the sheet of paper, however, can define a flap that is located inside the passage. The user can pull the flap to dispense the product from the passage. When dispensed from the passage, the product is referred to as a "center pull" product.
    [0021] Paper products made in accordance with the present invention can be produced using various methods and techniques. In one embodiment, for example, products are made by moistening the leading edge or close to the leading edge of a sheet of paper with an aqueous solution. According to the present invention, the solution can be adhesive-free or it can contain a very soft adhesive.
    [0022] The leading edge of the paper sheet is brought into contact with a mandrel that is rotated so as to wrap the paper sheet on a roll. In one embodiment, the wrapping of the paper sheet in the mandrel can occur without having to delay the mandrel or delay the paper sheet as it moves towards the mandrel. In addition, winding in the mandrel can occur without having to wrap the sheet around the mandrel first. Once the roll is formed, the sheet of paper is cut to complete the roll and the roll is removed from the mandrel. The finished roll defines an axially disposed passageway that extends from a first end of the roll to a second opposite end of the roll. The passage is covered only by the sheet of paper. Due to the aqueous solution, the inner layers of the paper sheet are slightly adhered by hydrogen bonds. The hydrogen bonds provide structure for the passage so that the sheet of paper does not unwind once removed from the mandrel.
    [0023] In one embodiment, the sheet of paper is transported on a belt for initial contact with the mandrel. The mandrel is accelerated to a speed of rotation that is equal to or greater than the speed at which the sheet of paper moves over the belt. The sheet of paper can be contacted with the aqueous solution before contacting the rotating mandrel. For example, in one embodiment, the aqueous solution can be sprayed onto the sheet of paper.
    [0024] In order to prevent the paper sheet from breaking during winding, a very low tension can be applied to the paper sheet during the winding process. For example, in one embodiment, the roller can be wound not only by rotating the mandrel, but also by wrapping the outer surface of the roller with a moving belt during winding. In this way, the roll is wound using a combination of center winding and surface winding. By using center-wound and surface-wound, the sheet of paper can be rolled onto a roll without substantially any tension. For example, the tension maintained on a sheet of paper during roll formation may be less than about 35.0254 N / m (0.2 lbs per linear inch), such as less than about 17.5127 N / m (0.1 lbs per linear inch). In fact, in one embodiment, the roll can be rolled up substantially without any tension.
    [0025] Since the sheet of paper can be rolled up substantially without tension, relatively weak sheets can be used to produce rolls according to the present invention. Having the ability to roll relatively weak sheets in accordance with the present invention, it is possible to produce paper products that have very smooth qualities and properties. In general, reducing the resistance of a sheet of paper results in greater softness. For example, in one embodiment, the rolled product may comprise a single layer or multilayer paper, such as toilet paper. Paper, for example, can have a geometric mean tensile strength (GMT) of less than about 157.4803 g / cm (1200 g / 3 "). For example, in one embodiment, the sheet of paper may have a weight from about 10 g / m2 to about 45 g / m2 and can have a GMT of about 65.6168 g / cm (500 g / 3 ") to about 131.2336 g / cm (1000 g / 3"), such as from about 65.6168 (500) to about 118.1102 g / cm (900 g / 3 "), such as from about 72.17848 g / cm (550 g / 3") to about 111 , 5486 g / cm (850 g / 3 ").
    [0026] As used in this document, GMT is measured using the following procedure:
    [0027] The tensile test is performed using paper samples that are conditioned at 23 ° C +/- 1 ° C and 50% +/- 2% relative humidity for a minimum of 4 hours. The samples are cut into 7.62 cm (3 inch) wide strips in the machine direction (MD) and in the machine transverse direction (CD) using a precision sample cutter, such as the JDC 15M-10 model, available from Thwing-Albert Instruments, a company that has offices located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA.
    [0028] The length of the gauge of the tensile testing machine is adjusted to 10.16 cm (four inches). The tensile testing machine is an Alliance RT / 1 machine with Test Works 4 software or equivalent. The tensile testing machine and software are available from MTS Systems Corporation, a company with offices located in Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA.
    [0029] A strip of 7.62 cm (3 ") is then placed in the jaws of the tensile testing machine and subjected to an applied effort at a rate of 25.4 cm per minute until the sample's breaking point. tension on the paper strip is monitored as a function of effort. The calculated results included the peak load (grams-force / 3 ", measured in grams-force), the peak stretch (%, calculated by dividing the sample elongation by original length of the sample and multiplying by 100%), the% stretch @ 500 grams-force, the absorption of traction energy (TEA) at break (in grams-force * cm / cm2, calculated by integration or by taking the area under the stress-strain curve to the breaking point, where the load drops to 30% of its peak value), and the slope A (kg-force, measured as the slope of the stress-strain curve of 57-150 grams -strength).
    [0030] Each paper code (minimum of five repetitions) is tested in the machine direction (MD) and transversal direction to the machine (CD). The geometric mean of the tensile strength and tensile energy absorption (TEA) are calculated as the square root of the machine direction product (MD) by the machine transverse direction (CD) and is presented in units of g / 3 " This produces an average value that is independent of the test direction.

    [0032] The repeated use of reference characters in this report and in the drawings is intended to represent the same characteristics or analogous elements of the invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
    [0033] It should be understood by a person skilled in the art that the present discussion is a description of exemplary modalities only, and is not intended to limit the broader aspects of the present invention.
    [0034] In general, the present invention is directed to the production of "coreless" paper rolls, meaning rolls of paper that do not contain a separate core made of a different material, such as cardboard. Eliminating a core provides several advantages and benefits. For example, the core and adhesives used with the core can represent a significant portion of the product cost that is typically discarded when the paper product is depleted. Being able to form paper products without a core, therefore, not only reduces the cost of the product, but also makes the products more environmentally friendly.
    [0035] With a particular advantage, coreless paper products can be made according to the present invention without having to use an adhesive to form a pseudo-core of the paper sheet itself. As will be described in more detail below, paper rolls are produced under low or no tension with the use of moisture, such as a fine spray of water, to form a pseudo core and to maintain a passage for receiving a rod during the use of the product. The use of water to form the pseudo-core, instead of an adhesive, does not significantly degrade the feel of the paper sheet, preserving the last sheets of the roll for use. Although water can impact the strength of the paper sheet, the sheet is wound under very low tension, so that the fine spray of water applied to the paper sheet does not cause tearing or other rupture of the sheet. The water, in turn, lightly binds the adjacent layers of the paper sheet that are used to coat the passage formed inside the rollers.
    [0036] One embodiment of a paper product made in accordance with the present invention is illustrated in Figure 1. In particular, in Figure 1, a roll of toilet paper 11 comprises a sheet of paper 13 which has been spirally wound to form a roll. As shown, the roller defines a passageway 15 that defines the circumference of the center of the roller. The passage 15 can be symmetrical about the axis of the roller.
    [0037] According to the present invention, as shown in Figure 1, the paper roll 11 is without core in that the passage is only coated by the paper sheet itself. In order to form the passageway 15, the layers of the paper sheet lining the passageway are lightly joined by hydrogen bonds. The hydrogen bonds can maintain the structure of the passage 15, without destroying the characteristics of the paper sheet. Thus, paper rolls made in accordance with the present invention can be completely consumed by the user, without creating any waste.
    [0038] As a particular advantage, the present inventors unexpectedly discovered that sufficient hydrogen bonds can be created using only moisture and without having to apply significant amounts of compression to the roll as it is being rolled up. In this regard, hydrogen bonds can be used to maintain roll integrity, even when producing rolls with relatively low firmness.
    [0039] If desired, sheet 13 of the toilet paper roll 11 may include perforation lines. The perforation lines, for example, can run in a direction that is perpendicular to the length of the sheet of paper. Drill lines can be present at regular intervals. The perforation lines make it easy for the user to detach a desired piece or panel from the sheet of paper as it is dispensed from the roll.
    [0040] In addition to toilet paper rolls, the present disclosure can also be used to build several other paper products. For example, referring to Figure 2, a roll of paper towels or napkins 111 is shown. The roll 111 comprises a sheet of paper 113 which has been wound in a spiral together. The roller defines an axial passage 115 which is coated exclusively by the paper sheet itself. As described above, hydrogen bonds are used to form the passage in the product, without adversely affecting the properties of the paper sheet.
    [0041] By containing a passage, the diameter of the passage formed within the rolls of paper made in accordance with the present invention can vary depending on the particular application and the desired result. In general, the passageway has a diameter of at least about 1.27 cm (0.5 inch), as well as about 1.27 cm (0.5 inch) to about 7.62 cm (3 inches) , such as from about 2.54 cm (1 inch) to about 7.62 cm (3 inches). The passageway may be formed to be substantially circular in shape and may be of a suitable size to accommodate a rod.
    [0042] In an alternative embodiment, however, the paper roll can be formed so as to have substantially no passage. For example, a pass may not be necessary if the sheet of paper is dispensed from the center of the roll, or if the roll is not to be otherwise dispensed from a rod.
    [0043] Sheets of paper made in accordance with the present invention generally contain a substantial amount of pulp fibers. For example, sheets of paper contain pulp fibers in an amount of at least about 50% by weight, as well as an amount of at least 80% by weight. In one embodiment, for example, the sheets of paper may consist essentially of pulp fibers.
    [0044] Paper rolls made in accordance with the present invention generally provide dry products that contain only environmental amounts of moisture. The sheets of paper generally have a specific volume of at least 3 cm3 / g, such as about 5 cm3 / g to about 15 cm3 / g. The sheets of paper can have a weight of about 8 g / m2 to about 80 g / m2, depending on the particular application. For example, toilet paper generally has a weight of about 8 g / m2 to about 45 g / m2. Paper towels, napkins, industrial cleaning papers, and the like, on the other hand, can have a weight of about 25 g / m2 to about 80 g / m2.
    [0045] The paper products of the present invention can generally be formed in any one of a variety of papermaking processes known in the art. For example, processes such as air drying and adhesive curling, wet curling, double curling, pleating, wet pressing, air pressing and the like can be used in forming the sheets of paper.
    [0046] In general, any suitable system and process. winding roller can be used to form paper rolls according to the present invention, capable of winding sheets relatively tension-free. In one embodiment, for example, a winding system is used as shown in Figures 3 to 8.
    [0047] The winding system, for example, can comprise a plurality of winding modules that have a rotating mandrel that engages the leading edge of a moving frame. The winding system illustrated in the figures can be configured to unwind a mother roll of material and convert the mother roll into a plurality of intermediate rolls or round rolls which are then cut perpendicularly to form a plurality of finished rolls, which are then packaged and sold to consumers or otherwise distributed. The mother roll, for example, can be made directly from a papermaking process. The intermediate or round roll can be cut, using any suitable cutting device, into a plurality of individual rolls.
    [0048] As shown in Figures 3-8, the winding system includes a plurality of mandrels which are positioned to receive a leading edge of a mother roll being unwound. With the transfer of the starting edge of the web to the mandrel, the web can be rolled up by operating the mandrel from the center. In addition, a moving conveyor or belt that carries the web can apply rotational speed to the outer surface of the roll as it is being formed. In this way, the roll or torus is formed through a combination of the central winding and the surface winding. By using a combination of both, central winding and surface winding, the paper sheet is allowed to be rolled onto a roll without substantially any tension. Additionally, the rollers can be formed with different degrees of smoothness or hardness along the roll. For example, in one embodiment, a torus or roller may be formed having a denser winding in the passage compared to the outside of the roller to provide support for the passage.
    [0049] As the sheet of paper can be rolled up under relatively low tension, rolls can be produced according to the present invention from relatively weak materials. For example, paper may have an average geometric tensile strength of less than about 157.4803 g / cm (1,200 g / 3 "), such as less than about 131.2336 g / cm (1,000 g / 3) "), such as less than about 118.1102 g / cm (900 g / 3"), such as less than about 111.5486 g / cm (850 g / 3 "). For example, in one embodiment, the sheet of paper may have an average geometric tensile strength of about 65.6168 g / cm (500 g / 3 ") to about 131.2336 g / cm (1000 g / 3" ). Such sheets can have properties and characteristics that make them very soft to the touch.
    [0050] Winding systems that can be used in accordance with the present invention include the winding systems disclosed in U.S. Published Patent Application No. US2003-0160127, in U.S. Published Patent Application No. US2008-0061182, and in U.S. Patent Application US Patent No. US2008-0105776, which are all incorporated herein by reference.
    [0051] Referring to Figure 3 and Figure 5, for example, a winding system 10 is shown which can be considered a "rewinder" because the system is particularly well suited for unwinding parent rolls and forming multiple smaller rolls for commercial use and consumer use through the production of intermediate rollers or round rollers. As shown, the winding system 10 includes a plurality of independent winding modules 12 arranged in a linear fashion with respect to each other. In the illustrated embodiment, the system includes 6 winding modules, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6. It should be understood, however, that the system can include more or less winding modules, as desired. A structure 14 supports the plurality of independent winding modules 12.
    [0052] A weft conveyor 34 is present, such as a belt or a conveyor, which carries a sheet of paper or weft 36 for eventual contact with the plurality of independent winding modules 12. The structure is composed of a plurality of pillars 16 in which the plurality of independent winding modules 12 are engaged and supported. For example, in the figure, the winding modules are slidably mounted on the structure 14. The structure 14 can also be constituted by modular structural sections that are engaged with each other to form a rigid structure. The number of modular structural sections can match the number of winding modules used.
    [0053] Figure 4 illustrates the winding system 10, as shown in Figure 3, but having the frame 14 and other parts removed for clarity. The 6 winding modules 1-6 are shown each performing a different function. The winding module 1 is shown in a process of readiness to receive the paper web. In the winding module 2, a finished roll of paper 22 or round roll has just been ejected from a mandrel 26. A roll product 22 or round is disposed on a roll product conveyor 20.
    [0054] With reference to the winding module 3, a finished roll of paper or log 22 is shown in the process of being ejected or extracted from a mandrel 26. In order to eject a formed roll, each winding module 12 can include an apparatus product extraction device 28. The product extraction device 28 may include, for example, a flange, which stabilizes the mandrel 26 and comes into contact with one end of the rolled product 22 and pushes the round roll 22 out of the mandrel 26 The rolled product extraction device 28, for example, may comprise a mechanical device that moves in the direction of the rolled product transport device 20. It should be understood, however, that the product extract device 28 can be configured differently in other exemplary modalities.
    [0055] The winding module 4, as shown in Figure 4 is shown in the weft winding process 36, in order to form a round roll 22. As described above, paper rolls can be formed using a winding combination center and surface winding. In particular, the mandrel 26 can be driven while the belt 34 simultaneously coils the outside of the roll.
    [0056] The winding module 5 is shown in the position where it is ready to wind the paper web since the winding module 4 finishes winding the paper web 36 to produce a rolled product 22. The winding module 6 , on the other hand, is shown in a "racked out" position. As shown, each winding module can be slid or disengaged from the moving conveyor 34, for maintenance of the winding module or to provide routine inspection. As such, the winding module 6 is not in a position to wind the web 36 to produce a rolled product. The other 5 winding modules, however, are still able to function without interruption to produce winding products while winding module 6 is under maintenance. As a particular advantage, paper rolls or round rolls can be formed using the winding system illustrated in Figure 4, without interruption, even if one of the winding modules is disabled, if there is a weft break, or between the winding separate rollers.
    [0057] The winding of a roll or log of material will now be described with reference to Figures 6 to 8. With reference to Figure 6, the paper web 36 is shown being transported by the web conveyor 34. After a roll of paper has been formed, the web is cut using any suitable cutting module 60. In one embodiment, for example, cutting module 60 may comprise a pinch bar as disclosed in US Patent No. 6,056,229. However, any other suitable way to cut the web 36 to the desired length can be employed. For example, another embodiment of a cutting module 60 that can be used is described in U.S. Published Patent Application No. US2008-0061182, which is incorporated herein by reference.
    [0058] As shown in Figure 6, the winding system 10 can also include a perforation module 64 that can create perforation lines on the moving sheet of paper 36. Perforation lines, for example, can be formed in a perpendicular direction to the length of the sheet of paper and can be spaced on the sheet of paper at regular intervals so that the sheet of paper can then be torn according to the preference of the consumer.
    [0059] In addition, the winding system 10 can include an adhesive applicator module 62. The adhesive applicator module can be configured to apply a relatively small amount of adhesive over an end edge of a sheet of paper in order to finish to the paper roll. The adhesive, for example, is conventionally applied to the end edge of the paper roll, so that the roll remains rolled up when the roll is then cut and / or packaged.
    [0060] Referring to Figures 7 and 8, the paper web 36 is shown after being cut to form a final edge 19. As shown, the paper web 36 is being transported over the web conveyor 34.
    [0061] According to the present invention, the winding system 10 further includes a spray device 24, which emits an aqueous solution over the leading edge 19 of the paper web 36. The aqueous solution, for example, can comprise water only or in combination with other smaller ingredients. The aqueous solution, in one embodiment, does not contain an adhesive. In another embodiment, the solution may contain a relatively small amount of starch.
    [0062] According to the present invention, the leading edge 19 of the paper web 36 is slightly moistened before contacting the mandrel 26. By slightly moistening the paper web 36, hydrogen bonds are formed between the layers of the web of paper that are directly adjacent to the mandrel 26. The weak hydrogen bonds allow a passage to form in the roll or log of material, without compromising the paper web. The layers of the paper web are lightly bonded in such a way that the layers can be separated during later use.
    [0063] The amount of moisture applied to a paper web can vary, depending on the particular application and the type of paper web to be rolled. In one embodiment, for example, moisture is applied to the paper web in an amount of at least about 20% by weight of moisture relative to the total weight of the sheet fibers. For example, moisture can be applied to the paper sheet in an amount of about 20% by weight to about 800% by weight, such as from about 20% by weight to about 400% by weight, such as about 30% by weight to about 300% by weight of the fibers.
    [0064] The area of the sheet of paper that is moistened or the length of the sheet of paper that is moistened can also vary, depending on numerous factors. For exemplary purposes only, in one embodiment, moisture can be applied over a length of sheet of paper from about 25.4 cm (10 ") to about 203.2 cm (80"), such as about from 40.64 cm (16 ") to about 127 cm (50"). The aqueous solution can be applied to moisten the entire width of the sheet or can be applied to moisten only a portion of the width of the sheet. For example, from about 20% to about 100% of the width of the sheet can be humidified, such as from about 20% to about 80% of the width of the sheet.
    [0065] The aqueous solution can be applied directly to the leading edge 19 of the paper web or can be applied a short distance from the leading edge. When applied a short distance (such as about 10.16 cm to about 50.8 cm) from the leading edge, for example, a flap can be formed inside the roll passage that can be easily grasped if it is desired to dispense the sheet of paper from the center of the roll. In one embodiment, the aqueous solution can be applied a short distance from the leading edge without the formation of a flap.
    [0066] In the mode shown in the figures, a spray device is used to apply the aqueous solution to the paper web. It should be understood, however, that any suitable device capable of applying moisture to the weft can be used. For example, in an alternative embodiment, moisture can be applied to the paper web as a vapor. In still other embodiments, the aqueous solution can be dripped onto the paper web or can be applied to the paper web using any suitable printer, such as an inkjet printer or a flexographic printer. In addition, moisture can be applied continuously across the width of the paper web or can be applied in discrete locations.
    [0067] Once the moisture has been applied to the paper web 36, the paper web then surrounds the mandrel 26 for winding over the mandrel. In one embodiment, mandrel 26 is accelerated prior to contact with paper web 36. Mandrel 26, for example, can be accelerated to a speed that substantially coincides with the speed of web 36. For example, the mandrel can be rotated at a speed that is equal to, slightly greater or slightly less than the speed of the moving frame. As used in this document, for example, when indicating that the mandrel is accelerated to a speed of rotation that is "substantially" equal to a speed at which the sheet of paper is in motion refers to the fact that the speed of the mandrel is in the range of about 10% of the paper sheet speed. In other embodiments, however, the speed of the mandrel can be in the range of about 5%, such as in the range of about 2% of the speed of the paper sheet. In yet another embodiment, the mandrel can be accelerated to have the same speed or speed slightly higher than the speed of the paper web.
    [0068] In order to assist in placing the paper web over the mandrel, in one embodiment, the mandrel may include a plurality of openings and may be in communication with a vacuum source. In this way, the mandrel forms a suction against the paper web in order to at least start the winding.
    [0069] Although unnecessary, in one embodiment, the gas flow can then be reversed in order to assist in removing the finished torus or roll out of the mandrel. For example, gas can be pushed out of the mandrel against the finished roll so that the roll can be easily removed from the mandrel. Alternatively or in addition, a lubricant can be applied to the mandrel and / or the roller.
    [0070] With reference to Figure 8, the paper web 36 is shown being wound on the mandrel 26. The winding of the web 36 on the mandrel can be controlled not only by centrally driving the mandrel, but also by pressing the roll in contact with the apparatus of transporting the web 34 to form a nip.
    [0071] The magnitude with which the roller is pressed in contact with: the weft conveyor 34 creates a pressure at the nip that can be used to control the tension in the weft as the weft is being wound. The tension can also be controlled by controlling the torque of the driven chuck 36. Thus, the nip distance and the differential torque can be used in order to wind the weft under low tension.
    [0072] The winding of the weft in low tension, for example, can be advantageous in certain modalities. For example, depending on the paper web being rolled up, contact of the web with moisture can weaken the web where the web is moistened. By wrapping the weft without substantially any tension, however, the weft is prevented from breaking during the formation of the coreless roll. Paper web 36, for example, can be rolled onto a roll as long as all the tension in the web reaches no more than 35.0254 N / m (0.2 lbs per linear inch), such as no more than 17.5127 N / m (0.1 lbs per linear inch). For example, in one embodiment, the paper web can be rolled up without essentially any tension.
    [0073] Although moisture can be used to slightly bind the paper sheet to form a core, in other embodiments a rolled paper product can be produced that is not treated with either moisture or an adhesive. In this embodiment, for example, the roll is produced without treating the roll with any foreign material. Thus, the sheet of paper is rolled on a roll in a dry state.
    [0074] The formation of an untreated roll of paper with moisture, for example, can be used to produce a roll of solid material that does not include a clearly defined hollow passage. In this mode, the sheet of paper can be rolled up at higher tensions since moisture is not applied.
    [0075] Once a roll of paper 22 has been formed on the mandrel, the web is then cut using any suitable device. A cutting mechanism can be used, for example, which also does not create any tension in the weft. For example, the web can be cut with a tension of less than about 35.0254 N / m (0.2 lbs per linear inch), such as less than 17.5127 N / m (0.1 lbs per linear inch) ). The final end of the paper web can be contacted with a small amount of adhesive for finishing the roll. The roll is then removed from the mandrel, sent to a cutting process to cut the roll or log to the desired widths, and then packed.
    [0076] When using the winding system 10, as shown in the figures, several different rolled products can be formed with varying characteristics. For example, the characteristics of the formed rollers can be changed by changing the tension on the web during winding. For example, softer low density rolled products can be produced or harder, higher density rolled products can be made. In general, softer, low-density rolled products give the impression of a softer, higher-quality product.
    [0077] When soft products are formed, for example, paper rolls can be produced that have a Kershaw roll firmness greater than about 2, such as from about 2 to about 14. Kershaw roll firmness is known in the technique and can be determined as described in US Patent No. 6,077,590 and US Patent No. 6,896,767. When rolls are formed with a lower roll firmness, for example, paper rolls may have a Kershaw roll firmness greater than about 3, such as having a Kershaw roll firmness of about 3 to about 14.
    [0078] In yet another modality, a roll of paper can be produced which has firmness varying based on the radial position. For example, in one embodiment, a coreless product can be produced in which the inner part of the roll close to the center is wound more tightly than the outer part of the roll. In this way, a roll of paper can be produced that has a well-defined, non-deformable center, while at the same time having the perceived softness of the consumer due to the compressibility of the outer layers.
    [0079] In a particular embodiment, for example, the inner part of the roll may have a roll firmness of about 1 to about 4, while the outer part of the roll may have a roll firmness of about 4 to about 14. The inner part of the roll, for example, can comprise from about 10% to about 50% of the radius of the roll, such as from about 10% to about 30%. The outside of the roll, on the other hand, can comprise the rest of the roll.
    [0080] Ultimately, a coreless paper product is produced in which the layers of paper surrounding the passageway are slightly joined in such a way that the entire length of the paper web is completely usable by the consumer.
    [0081] These and other modifications and variations of the present invention can be practiced by those skilled in the art, without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, which is more particularly defined in the appended claims. Additionally, it should be understood that the aspects of the various modalities can be exchanged in whole or in part. In addition, persons skilled in the art will appreciate that the above description is for example only, and is not intended to limit the invention in the manner further described in such appended claims.
