Description

[0001] Toilet paper with a strip of double, triple or more strength in the center.

[0002] Technical field.

[0003] This utility model belongs to the technical field of the paper industry,

[0004]

[0005] Background"

[0006]

[0007] Use toilet paper regularly, especially in countries of

[0008]

[0009] Latin America and Asia Pacific.

[0010] The global toilet paper market was estimated at 51,200

[0011]

[0012] grow at a compound annual rate of 4.4% between

[0013]

[0014] 20

[0015]

[0016] (hílente' veranil View Research me.). Manufacturers have sought characteristics of resistance, absorption, softness and low cost of materials, which are factors of competition and market penetration.

[0017] Regarding the strength of toilet paper, to prevent it from tearing, it involves using two, three, four or more sheets of toilet paper with each cleaning action.

[0018] The strength in toilet paper is achieved through various manufacturing methods and techniques:

[0019]

[0020] Chemical treatments.

[0021] - Refining processes.

[0022] - Pressure and temperature.

[0023]

[0024] Each and every one of the methods and techniques mentioned above involves additional costs in the manufacture of toilet paper.

[0025] With the utility model now presented, it is possible to increase resistance while decreasing the amount of raw material per unit, resulting in savings in the manufacturing cost of the product.

[0026] Detailed description.

[0027] This utility model refers to a hygienic paper with a strip of double, triple or more strength in the center, which crosses the entire sheet along the length of the paper and allows the same use as normal toilet paper, obtaining;

[0028] - With double resistance strip, a 33% saving in material (paper),

[0029] - Cost reduction due to savings in materials,

[0030] ~ In your case, a decrease in the selling price.

[0031]

[0032] The description of 'L. «double, triple or more strength in the center'*, is illustrative, not limiting, so toilet paper may be manufactured with an intermediate strength between normal and double strength, between double and triple strength and so on.

[0033] Toilet paper, the subject of this utility model, may be manufactured interchangeably with divisions per sheet of paper

[0034]

[0035]

[0036] The stripe may be thicker (4), with another type of

[0037]

[0038] The middle finger is usually used as the main source of friction, an action that will fall on the most resistant strip of toilet paper. ( )

[0039] Greater strength is achieved in the required area, resulting in material savings in the rest of the paper.

[0040]

[0041]

[0042] The width of the central strip may vary (1), according to strength calculations in its manufacture

[0043]

[0044] Description of the figures

[0045] Figure 1.

[0046] Toilet paper, with a stronger strip in the center.

[0047] The strip of greatest resistance is the SAME THICKNESS as the rest of the paper.

[0048] 1.- Band of greater resistance in the center of the paper.

[0049] 2.~ Strip of the same thickness as the rest of the paper. 3.” Area of ​​toilet paper, of normal strength

[0050]

[0051] Toilet paper, with a stronger strip in the center.

[0052] The strip with the greatest resistance is thicker than the rest of the paper.

[0053] 1.- Band of greater resistance in the center of the paper.

[0054] 3.- Toilet paper area, of normal resistance.

[0055] 4.~ Thicker strip than the rest of the paper

[0056]

Claims

Independent CLAIMS. 1.- For reasons of strength, with the toilet paper currently in use, 3.- The difference with normal toilet paper is the strip of double, triple or more resistance in the center, which crosses the entire sheet.
