Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 19
Claim 1
Independent Claim
39 words
A method for embossing a convolutely wound roll to avoid nesting comprising the steps of embossing web material with co-mating rolls having a pattern repeat in the machine direction at least equal to the circumference of the finished roll.

Claim 17
Dependent Claim
32 words
The method of claim 1 in which randomized patterns having a sketch repeat length greater than the circumference of the finished product roll are interspersed between MD strips of small repeat patterns.
Claim 18
Dependent Claim
59 words
A convolutely wound roll comprising web material wound on itself and having a pattern of embossments arranged in a repeat pattern, said repeat pattern having a length at least equal to the circumference of the finished roll and wherein the embossments of any top convolutely wound web sheet will be substantially displaced from the embossments of the underlying sheet.
