Abstract

Fibrous structures, for example sanitary tissue products, such as toilet tissue, and more particularly fibrous structures containing a movable surface and methods for making same and methods for making same are provided.

Claims (18)

1. A layered fibrous structure comprising a movable surface 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 the plurality of fibrous elements within the edge-to-edge bond distance between the bond sites are unbonded to the web material layer;

wherein at least one of the fibrous elements comprises a hydroxyl polymer filament.

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

3. The fibrous structure 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.

4. The fibrous structure according to claim 1 wherein the fibrous structure comprises a layered fibrous structure ply wherein a first layer comprises a plurality of fibers and a second layer comprises a plurality of filaments.

5. The fibrous structure according to claim 4 wherein the second layer forms at least a portion of an exterior surface of the fibrous structure.

6. The fibrous structure according to claim 5 wherein a scrim material is present on at least a portion of the second layer.

7. The fibrous structure according to claim 6 wherein the scrim material comprises filaments.

8. The fibrous structure according to claim 7 wherein the scrim material filaments comprise polyvinyl alcohol.

9. The fibrous structure according to claim 1 wherein the fibrous structure comprises two or more fibrous structure plies.

10. The fibrous structure according to claim 9 wherein the fibrous structure comprises a first fibrous structure ply adhesively bonded to a second fibrous structure ply.

11. The fibrous structure according to claim 1 wherein the edge-to-edge bond distance is at least 1.5 mm.

12. The fibrous structure according to claim 1 wherein the fibrous structure exhibits a caliper of greater than 20.0 mils as measured according to a Caliper Test Method, the Caliper Test Method as set forth herein.

13. The fibrous structure according to claim 1 wherein the fibrous structure exhibits a caliper of from about 27.0 to about 32.0 mils as measured according to a Caliper Test Method, the Caliper Test Method as set forth herein.

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

15. The fibrous structure according to claim 1 wherein the fibrous structure exhibits a Plate Stiffness of less than about 10 N*mm as measured according to a Plate Stiffness Test Method, the Plate Stiffness Test Method as set forth herein.

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

17. The fibrous structure according to claim 1 wherein the fibrous structure comprises a structured fibrous structure ply.
