Toilet paper roll having a cleansing composition

Abstract

A roll of toilet paper which has web portions where the web is folded upon itself and provided with an inner film of cleansing composition and an outer barrier layer so that the film of cleansing composition cannot spread through the convolutions of the roll while at the same time the folded web portions will become unfolded during unwinding of the roll to expose the cleansing composition. After the film of cleansing composition and barrier layer are respectively deposited at opposite faces of the web at preselected areas therealong the web is folded upon itself at the areas where the film of cleansing composition is located and then the film of cleansing composition at each folded web portion is frozen to retain each web portion in its folded condition during winding of the web into a roll.

What is claimed is: 
     
       1. A toilet paper roll comprising an elongated paper web wound into a roll and formed with transverse lines of perforations distributed along said web to facilitate tearing of the latter along said lines of perforations, said web having between at least some of said lines of perforations web portions each of which is transversely folded upon itself, and each of said web portions including inner and outer web sections separated by an intermediate web section with the inner web section of one web portion extending to the outer web section of the next inner web portion and with the outer web section of each web portion extending to the inner web section of the next outer web portion, so that the roll of wound paper has at each web portion an intermediate section sandwiched between a pair of web sections which respectively form said inner and outer web sections, said web carrying at each web portion between said intermediate section and one of said pair of sections a film of cleansing composition and a barrier layer at the surfaces of said intermediate section and said one section of each web portion which are opposed to the surfaces where said film of cleansing composition is located so that the latter film is retained in the roll between said intermediate section and said one section of each web portion until the roll is unwound whereupon the folded web portions are successively unwound from the roll and simultaneously unfolded to expose the film of cleansing composition retained. 
     
     
       2. The combination of claim 1 and wherein said film of cleansing composition is located at each web portion between said intermediate web section and said inner web section thereof, so that during unwinding of the roll the films of cleansing composition are successively exposed at areas which are directed away from the axis of the roll. 
     
     
       3. The combination of claim 1 and wherein said web portions alternate with said lines of perforations so that one web portion is situated between each pair of successive lines of perforations. 
     
     
       4. The combination of claim 3 and wherein the total length of each intermediate section and inner section of each web portion is no greater than half the distance from one line of perforations to the next line of perforations so that between successive lines of perforations said web has a length at least twice as great as the length of said film of cleansing composition when each web portion is unfolded during unwinding of the roll. .Iadd. 5. A toilet paper roll comprising an elongated paper web wound into a roll and formed with transverse lines of perforations distributed along said web to facilitate tearing of the latter along said lines of perforations, said web having between at least some of said lines of perforations web portions each of which is transversely folded upon itself, and each of said web portions including inner and outer web sections separated by an intermediate web section with the inner web section of one web portion extending to the outer web section of the next inner web portion and with the outer web section of each web portion extending to the inner web section of the next outer web portion, so that the roll of wound paper has at each web portion an intermediate section sandwiched between a pair of web sections which respectively form said inner and outer web sections, said web carrying at an intermediate section and one of said pair of sections of each web portion an outer barrier layer and an inner film of moist cleansing composition within said outer barrier layer so that the film of cleansing composition is retained in the roll between said intermediate section and said one section of each web portion until the roll is unwound whereupon the folded web portions are successively unwound from the roll and simultaneously unfolded to expose the film of cleansing composition. .Iaddend.
