Abstract

Rolls of toilet tissue containing a movable surface and methods for making same are provided.

Claims (20)

1. A roll of toilet tissue comprising a layered fibrous structure comprising a movable surface layer comprising a plurality of fibrous elements that are bonded at bond sites to a web material layer, wherein at least two of the bond sites exhibit an edge-to-edge bond distance of at least 1 mm and wherein at least a portion of at least one fibrous element of the plurality of fibrous elements within the edge-to-edge bond distance between the bond sites is unbonded to the web material layer.

2. The roll of toilet tissue according to claim 1 wherein at least one of the fibrous elements comprises a fiber.

3. The roll of toilet tissue according to claim 1 wherein at least one of the fibrous elements comprises a filament.

4. The roll of toilet tissue according to claim 1 wherein at least one of the fibrous elements comprises a plurality of fibers and at least one of the fibrous elements comprises a plurality of filaments.

5. The roll of toilet tissue according to claim 1 wherein the web material layer comprises a plurality of fibers and the plurality of fibrous elements of the movable surface layer comprises a plurality of filaments.

6. The roll of toilet tissue according to claim 5 wherein the movable surface layer forms at least a portion of an exterior surface of the toilet tissue of the roll of toilet tissue.

7. The roll of toilet tissue according to claim 6 wherein a scrim material is present on at least a portion of the movable surface layer.

8. The roll of toilet tissue according to claim 7 wherein the scrim material comprises filaments.

9. The roll of toilet tissue according to claim 8 wherein the scrim material filaments comprise polyvinyl alcohol.

10. The roll of toilet tissue according to claim 1 wherein the roll of toilet tissue comprises the layered fibrous structure and at least one more fibrous structure ply.

11. The roll of toilet tissue according to claim 10 wherein the roll of toilet tissue comprises layered fibrous structure adhesively bonded to the at least one more fibrous structure ply.

12. The roll of toilet tissue according to claim 1 wherein the edge-to-edge bond distance is at least 1.5 mm.

13. The roll of toilet tissue according to claim 1 wherein the toilet tissue of the roll of toilet tissue exhibits a caliper of greater than 20.0 mils as measured according to a Caliper Test Method.

14. The roll of toilet tissue according to claim 1 wherein the toilet tissue of the roll of toilet tissue exhibits a caliper of from about 27.0 to about 32.0 mils as measured according to a Caliper Test Method.

15. The roll of toilet tissue according to claim 1 wherein the toilet tissue of the roll of toilet tissue exhibits a Capacity Rate Tester (CRT) Capacity of greater than 15 g/g as measured according to a CRT Test Method.

16. The roll of toilet tissue according to claim 1 wherein the toilet tissue of the roll of toilet tissue exhibits a Plate Stiffness of less than about 10 N*mm as measured according to a Plate Stiffness Test Method.

17. The roll of toilet tissue according to claim 1 wherein the toilet tissue of the roll of toilet tissue exhibits a Capacity Rate Tester (CRT) Rate of less than about 1.0 g/sec as measured according to a CRT Test Method.

18. The roll of toilet tissue according to claim 1 wherein the web material layer comprises a structured fibrous structure ply.

19. The roll of toilet tissue according to claim 1 wherein the web material layer is selected from the group consisting of: belt creped fibrous structure plies, fabric creped fibrous structure plies, and mixtures thereof.

20. The roll of toilet tissue according to claim 1 wherein the roll of toilet tissue exhibits a % Compressibility of from about 4% to about 8% as measured according to the Roll Compressibility Test Method.
