Alternating perforation patterns on a rolled product

Abstract

A system includes a container and a rolled product in the container. The rolled product includes alternating different perforation patterns formed therein. A single rolled product includes two different types of separate perforation patterns on the rolled product. A manufacturing process utilizing a machine that creates or forms the two different separate perforation patterns according to the present invention is contemplated. The perforation patterns extend in the cross direction of the rolled product. In some embodiments, the rolled product is a nonwoven product. In other embodiments, the rolled product can be any type of rolled product, and is not limited to a nonwoven product. In one embodiment, the nonwoven rolled good or product is a cleaning or disinfecting wipes.

         1 . A system for dispensing a nonwoven rolled product, comprising:
 a container; and   a nonwoven rolled product disposed in the container, the nonwoven rolled product having alternating rows of a first type of perforations and a second type of perforations, the first type of perforations having a first tensile strength, the second type of perforations having a second tensile strength, the second tensile strength being different from the first tensile strength, wherein the nonwoven rolled product is selectively dispensed from the container.   
     
     
         2 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein each row of the first type of perforations is located between rows of the second type of perforations. 
     
     
         3 . The system of  claim 2 , wherein each row of the second type of perforations is located between rows of the first type of perforations. 
     
     
         4 . The system of  claim 3 , wherein the nonwoven rolled product has a cross direction and a machine direction, and the alternating rows of the first type of perforations and the second type of perforations are oriented in the cross direction. 
     
     
         5 . The system of  claim 4 , wherein a pair of rows of the first type of perforations define opposite ends of a sheet of the nonwoven rolled product. 
     
     
         6 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein each row of the second type of perforations is located between a pair of rows of the first type of perforations, the pair of rows of the first type of perforations defining opposite ends of a sheet of the nonwoven rolled product. 
     
     
         7 . The system of  claim 6 , wherein each of the second type of perforations has a higher tensile strength than each of the first type of perforations. 
     
     
         8 . The system of  claim 7 , wherein each row of the second type of perforations defines a partial sheet with an adjacent row of the first type of perforations. 
     
     
         9 . A nonwoven rolled product for use with a dispensing container, the nonwoven rolled product comprising:
 a plurality of sheets coupled together by rows of a first type of perforations, each of the plurality of sheets including a row of a second type of perforations located between rows of the first type of perforations defining a particular sheet, the rows of the first type of perforations and the second type of perforations being arranged in an alternating manner, the first type of perforations having a first tensile strength, the second type of perforations having a second tensile strength, and the second tensile strength being different from the first tensile strength.   
     
     
         10 . The nonwoven rolled product of  claim 9 , wherein the nonwoven rolled product has a cross direction and a machine direction, and the rows of the first type of perforations and the second type of perforations are oriented in the cross direction. 
     
     
         11 . The nonwoven rolled product of  claim 9 , wherein rows of the first type of perforations define opposite ends of a sheet of the nonwoven rolled product. 
     
     
         12 . The nonwoven rolled product of  claim 9 , wherein each of the second type of perforations has a higher tensile strength than each of the first type of perforations. 
     
     
         13 . The nonwoven rolled product of  claim 12 , wherein the nonwoven rolled product has a cross direction and a machine direction, and the rows of the first type of perforations and the second type of perforations are oriented in the cross direction. 
     
     
         14 . The nonwoven rolled product of  claim 9 , wherein each row of the second type of perforations defines a partial sheet with an adjacent row of the first type of perforations. 
     
     
         15 . The nonwoven rolled product of  claim 14 , wherein the nonwoven rolled product has a cross direction and a machine direction, and the rows of the first type of perforations and the second type of perforations are oriented parallel to each other in the cross direction. 
     
     
         16 . A nonwoven rolled product, comprising:
 a plurality of sheets having a plurality of rows of a first type of perforations and a plurality of rows of a second type of perforations, each of the plurality of rows of the first type of perforations is located between adjacent rows of the plurality of rows of the second type of perforations, each of the plurality of rows of the second type of perforations is located between adjacent rows of the plurality of rows of the first type of perforations, adjacent rows of the first type of perforations defining a particular sheet of the plurality of sheets therebetween, the first type of perforations having a first tensile strength, the second type of perforations having a second tensile strength, and the second tensile strength being greater than the first tensile strength.   
     
     
         17 . The nonwoven rolled product of  claim 16 , wherein the plurality of sheets has a cross direction and a machine direction, and rows of the first type of perforations and rows of the second type of perforations are oriented in the cross direction. 
     
     
         18 . The nonwoven rolled product of  claim 16 , wherein each row of the second type of perforations defines a partial sheet with an adjacent row of the first type of perforations.
