Deformed web materials

摘要

Deformed web materials are disclosed. The web materials have discrete deformations formed therein. The deformations may be features in the form of portions of a web with apertures therein, protrusions, depressed areas, and combinations thereof. These features may extend out from the surface on one side of the web, or from both of the surfaces of the web. Different features may be intermixed with one another.

主权项

1. A nonwoven material having discrete features formed therein, said nonwoven material having a first surface and a second surface, said nonwoven material comprising:
a) substantially undeformed regions, said substantially undeformed regions having surfaces that correspond to the first and second surfaces of said nonwoven material; b) a plurality of spaced apart discrete first macroscopic features comprising depressions; and c) a plurality of spaced apart discrete second macroscopic features comprising protrusions; wherein said first features comprise at least one of a different type and a different property than the second features, and at least some of said second features are intermixed with said first features, and at least one of said depressions and said protrusions comprise tufts with an opening in at least one end.
