Disclosed is an interleaved L-fold towel arrangement which minimizes a number of different types of commonly occurring paper towel dispensing failures. Each towel in the interleaved stack of towels in the present invention is comprises of a sheet which has been folded in half to substantially create a two-ply arrangement. A second fold is imparted to the towel substantially to the first fold thereby creating a lead flap and a trailing flap. The lead flap begins with the first fold and thereby creates a tab end which is two-ply and which will not delaminate on dispensing. The user will thus always be grasping a two-ply product as it is being dispensed thereby minimizing tear-out and tab-out failure. The lead flap preferably has less width than the trailing flap, thus limiting the amount of deformation which must be imparted by the trailing flap to the lead flap next to be dispensed to cause said lead flap to be drawn through the dispensing opening of a dispenser.

Interleaved towel fold configuration

A web of cellulosic fibers is treated with a water soluble emollient. The emollient used is a triquaternary phospholipid complex of a fatty acid.

Chemically treated paper products - towel and tissue

Disclosed are soft, absorbent and bulky cellulosic fibrous webs which have been treated so that they impart a soothing or emollient effect to the human skin when used for wiping or drying while essentially retaining their water-absorbent property and strength. The agent used in the present invention is a condensation product of an amino acid with a reducing sugar.

Chemically treated paper products--towel and tissue

An apparatus for applying spaced apart discontinuous stripes of a fluid to the surface of a moving web. The apparatus includes a rotating applicator roll partially immersed in a bath of the fluid. A notched doctor blade in contact with the surface of the roll removes fluid from the surface of the roll except in the region of the notches to form spaced apart circumferential beads of the fluid on the surface of the roll. The moving web partially wraps the applicator roll where the beads are formed, but is travelling between 20 to 200 times the speed of the surface of the applicator roll, which results in a relatively even distribution of the fluid, in the form of a discontinuous stripe, on the surface of the web.

Notched doctored single kiss roll applicator

Disclosed are soft, absorbent and bulky cellulosic fibrous webs which have been treated so that they impart a soothing or emollient effect to the human skin when used for wiping or drying while essentially retaining their water-absorbent property and strength. The agent used in the present invention is lauroamphoglycinate.
