Abstract
Abstract In order to opacify one side of a multi-ply paperboard comprised of a plurality of paper plies, pigment particles are spread between a pair of the plies. Pigment particles are preferably clay particles and are preferably spread immediately beneath the outermost ply at the one side of the board at a distribution of between 5 grams per square meter and 60 grams per square meter.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
174 words
A method of making multi-ply paperboard, comprising the steps of forming a first ply and building further plies onto the first ply, wherein a suspension of pigment particles in a liquid binder is spread on at least one of the ply surfaces onto which the further plies are formed and before the respective further ply is formed, the suspension being spread on said ply surface by moving said ply surface horizontally in an upwardly facing condition, forcing the suspension through a horizontal slot so that it wets both upper and lower edges of the slot and is extruded generally horizontally from the slot to fall downwardly under gravity across an upright surface of a wall which terminates at a bottom blade edge located above the horizontally moving said ply surface whereby to establish a falling curtain of said suspension over said surface which curtain is thinner than the vertical width of the slot and allowing the established curtain to fall away from said surface at the blade edge and thence onto said ply surface.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
174 words
A method of making multi-ply paperboard, comprising the steps of forming a first ply and building further plies onto the first ply, wherein a suspension of pigment particles in a liquid binder is spread on at least one of the ply surfaces onto which the further plies are formed and before the respective further ply is formed, the suspension being spread on said ply surface by moving said ply surface horizontally in an upwardly facing condition, forcing the suspension through a horizontal slot so that it wets both upper and lower edges of the slot and is extruded generally horizontally from the slot to fall downwardly under gravity across an upright surface of a wall which terminates at a bottom blade edge located above the horizontally moving said ply surface whereby to establish a falling curtain of said suspension over said surface which curtain is thinner than the vertical width of the slot and allowing the established curtain to fall away from said surface at the blade edge and thence onto said ply surface.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
22 words
A method as claimed in claim 1, wherein said one ply surface is that surface onto which the outermost ply is formed.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
19 words
A method as claimed in claim 2, wherein said suspension comprises at least about 3% of starch by weight.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
41 words
A method as claimed in claim 2, wherein the pigment particles are comprised of clay particles which are spread on said one ply surface at a distribution of between about 20 grams per square meter and 60 grams per square meter.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
19 words
A method as claimed in claim 4, wherein said suspension comprises at least about 3% of starch by weight.
