<p>An apparatus for providing a multi-ply embossed paper product having a first pressure roll (14); an embossing roll (12) with a plurality of embossing protrusions, each embossing protrusion comprises a distal end; an adhesive application roll (18); a marrying roll (19); and a second pressure roll (16). The first pressure roll and the embossing roll are juxtaposed in an axially parallel relationship to form a first nip (31) therebetween. The first nip has a first nip width. The first pressure roll and the embossing roll are adapted to receive a first paper web (22) at the first nip. The adhesive application roll and the embossing roll are juxtaposed in an axially parallel relationship to form a gap (32) therebetween. The adhesive application roll and the embossing roll are adapted to receive the first paper web, after the first paper web has traversed the first nip, at the gap. The marrying roll is juxtaposed in an axially parallel relationship with the embossing roll to form a third nip (34) therebetween. The marrying roll and embossing roll are adapted to receive the first paper web and a second paper web (24), after the first paper web has traversed the gap, and marry the first paper web to the second paper web at the third nip. The second pressure roll and the embossing roll are juxtaposed in an axially parallel relationship to form a second nip (33) therebetween. The second nip has a second nip width, and wherein the second pressure roll and embossing roll are adapted to receive the first paper web and the second paper web, after the first paper web and the second paper web have traversed the third nip, at the second nip.</p> |
