Abstract

A rolled product may comprise an embossed pattern on a fibrous sheet, the embossed pattern comprising first and second embossed objects and, in certain cases, a logo. The first and second embossed objects may be spaced from each other in certain relationships and, in certain cases, may be spaced from the logo in certain relationships.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A rolled product, comprising:
an embossed pattern on a fibrous web, the embossed pattern comprising first and second embossed objects and a logo;
wherein the first embossed object has a first end or a first edge that is within a first CD distance of about 20 mm of the logo, wherein the first embossed object is open;
wherein the second embossed object has a second end or a second edge that is within a second CD distance of about 20 mm of the logo, wherein the second embossed object is open;
wherein the second CD distance is not equal to the first CD distance; and
wherein the second end or second edge of the second embossed object is at an angle of greater than about 10 degrees relative to the first end or first edge of the first embossed object.

2. The rolled product of claim 1 , wherein the first CD distance is from about 2.5 mm to about 20 mm.

3. The rolled product of claim 1 , wherein the second CD distance is from about 2.5 mm to about 20 mm.

4. The rolled product of claim 1 , wherein the angle is from about 10 to about 50.

5. The rolled product of claim 1 , wherein the first embossed object comprises a linear segment.

6. The rolled product of claim 1 , wherein the first embossed object comprises two linear segments.

7. The rolled product of claim 1 , wherein the first end is at an end of a linear segment.

8. The rolled product of claim 1 , wherein the second embossed object comprises dots or dashes.

9. The rolled product of claim 1 , wherein the second embossed object comprises a line of dots.

10. The rolled product of claim 1 , wherein the second edge is at an edge of an end dot in a line of dots.

11. The rolled product of claim 9 , wherein the line of dots is spaced from and runs parallel with a linear segment.

12. The rolled product of claim 1 , wherein the logo is a collection of embossed letters.

13. The rolled product of claim 1 , further comprising perforations that separate the fibrous web into a plurality of connected sheets.

14. The rolled product of claim 13 , wherein at least one of the perforations overlaps the first embossed object.

15. The rolled product of claim 13 , wherein at least one of the perforations overlaps the second embossed object.

16. The rolled product of claim 1 , wherein the second embossed object is a line of dots running parallel to the first embossed object that is a linear segment, wherein the line of dots are outboard of the linear segment such that the linear segment is between the line of dots and the logo.

17. The rolled product of claim 1 , wherein the embossed pattern comprises a plurality of closed forms.

18. The rolled product of claim 17 , wherein the plurality of closed forms are selected from a group consisting of diamonds, rectangles, squares, circles, pentagons, hexagons, octagons, and combinations thereof.

19. The rolled product of claim 1 , wherein the rolled product is selected from paper towels and toilet paper.

20. The rolled product of claim 1 , wherein the rolled product comprises a plurality of sheets separated by perforations, and wherein more than 50% of the plurality of sheets comprise logos identical to the logo.

21. The rolled product of claim 1 , wherein the fibrous web further comprises a molded pattern.

22. The rolled product of claim 21 , wherein the molded pattern comprises linear segments, dots, and/or dashes that are smaller (in scale) than linear segments, dots, and/or dashes of the embossed pattern.

23. The rolled product of claim 21 , wherein the molded pattern comprises linear segments that are smaller (in scale) than linear segments of the embossed pattern.

24. The rolled product of claim 1 , wherein a spatial relationship is formed between the first and second embossed objects and the logo, and wherein the spatial relationship is formed between third and fourth embossed objects and a second logo, wherein the first and second embossed objects are identical to the third and fourth embossed objects, respectively, and wherein the logo and the second logo are identical.

25. The rolled product of claim 1 , wherein the first end or the first edge is within a first CD distance of about 3 mm of the logo.

26. The rolled product of claim 1 , wherein the second end or the second edge of the second embossed object is within a second CD distance of about 7 mm of the logo.

27. The rolled product of claim 1 , wherein the second end or second edge of the second embossed object is at an angle of greater than about 10 degrees relative to the first end or first edge of the first embossed object.

28. The rolled product of claim 1 , wherein the second CD distance is from about 5 mm to about 20 mm.

29. The rolled product of claim 1 , wherein the angle is from about 15 to about 50.
