FABRIC COMPRISING NONWOVEN ELEMENTS FOR USE IN THE MANUFACTURE OF TISSUE PRODUCTS HAVING VISUALLY DISCERNABLE BACKGROUND TEXTURE REGIONS BORDERED CURVILINEAR DECORATIVE ELEMENTS AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURE OF TISSUE PRODUCTS

摘要

Disclosed is a sculpted fabric for the manufacture of a tissue web, which generates an aesthetically pleasing tissue web having a substantially uniform density. The fabric has a tissue machine contacting side, and a tissue contacting side including an upper porous member comprising a base with nonwoven elevated regions thereon. The elevated regions comprise a first group of nonwoven raised elements and a second group of nonwoven raised elements, both raised relative to the base. The first group of raised elements extends in at least a first direction and the second group extends in at least a second direction. The first and second groups of raised elements are arranged on the base to produce elevated and depressed regions defining a three-dimensional tissue contacting surface comprising: a) a first background region having a set of substantially parallel first elevated regions comprising at least a subset of the first group of nonwoven raised elements, and a first group of depressed regions, wherein the first elevated regions and the first depressed regions alternate; b) a second background region having a set of substantially parallel second elevated regions comprising at least a subset of the second group of nonwoven raised elements, and comprising a second group of depressed regions, wherein the second elevated regions and the second depressed regions alternate; and, c) a transition region between the first and second background regions, wherein the first elevated regions and the second elevated regions terminate.
