Abstract:
Provided are an electrolytic cathode structure that can suppress the degradation of an activated cathode even if a reverse current flows upon the stoppage of operation of an electrolyzer in an electrode structure allowing the distance between the electrode and an electrode current collector to be maintained at an approximately constant value, and an electrolyzer using the same. 
     The electrolytic cathode structure includes a metal elastic cushion member  1  compressed and accommodated between an activated cathode  2  and a cathode current collector  3 . At least a surface layer of the cathode current collector  3  consumes a larger oxidation current per unit area than the activated cathode. The electrolyzer is partitioned by an ion exchange membrane into an anode chamber for accommodating an anode and a cathode chamber for accommodating a cathode. The electrolytic cathode structure is used for the cathode.

Description:
TECHNICAL FIELD 
       [0001]    The present invention relates to toilet roll products each manufactured by packing toilet rolls, obtained by winding toilet paper applied with chemicals and having crepe, and a manufacturing method thereof. 
       BACKGROUND ART 
       [0002]    Toilet paper is generally made in a form of a toilet roll in which continuous band-like paper is wound on a core called a paper core, and is available in the market as toilet roll products in which a plurality of these toilet rolls are packed. 
         [0003]    In the toilet paper, users are interested in a price, a moisture-retaining property (wetness hand feel), flexibility (softness hand feel), and a surface lubrication property (smoothness hand feel), and request high-quality toilet paper in these respects. 
         [0004]    Further, for a patient who suffers from a hemorrhoid disease or the like, it is difficult to rub the skin strongly with the paper in cleaning operation after excretion. For this reason, such a patient with a hemorrhoid disease is highly interested in toilet paper, which is improved in a wiping property, bulkiness, a moisture-retaining property, softness, and a surface lubrication property, so that he or she desires products satisfying these properties. 
         [0005]    Further, the toilet paper is used not only after excretion, but also after urination for particularly a woman&#39;s cleaning operation. Here, since the woman&#39;s cleaning operation after urination is performed while the paper contacts a sensitive pubic region, there is a latent demand for toilet paper with a moisture-retaining property and softness. 
         [0006]    Here, the toilet paper can be applied with chemicals which improve the characteristics such as a moisture-retaining property (wetness hand feel), flexibility (softness hand feel), and a surface lubrication property (smoothness hand feel). 
         [0007]    However, the conventional toilet rolls applied with chemicals are expensive with low productivity. Further, the toilet roll is not sufficiently improved in all the characteristics and does not satisfy the user&#39;s demand. 
         [0008]    For this reason, the conventional toilet roll products applied with chemicals have not been widely used. 
         [0009]    Generally, in a conventional toilet roll, a paper roll manufactured by a paper manufacturing machine is conveyed to a winder and is rewound with the diameter of the toilet roll in the winder so as to manufacture a log having a width plural times or more a toilet roll width, and the log is cut into the toilet roll width so as to manufacture the toilet roll. In a case of manufacturing multi-ply products, continuous sheets reeled out from a plurality of paper rolls are multi-plied before the rewinding in the winder. 
         [0010]    Then, a method for manufacturing the toilet roll applied with chemicals is disclosed in, for example, Patent Literatures 1 to 3 below. 
         [0011]    In a technique of Patent Literature 1, steel-rubber embossing is performed when manufacturing a log from a paper roll set in a winder, chemicals are applied to embossing convex portions of a convex embossing roll, and the chemicals are transferred to a continuous sheet reeled out from the paper roll. 
         [0012]    However, in the technique of Patent Literature 1, since the chemicals are applied only by the tips of the embossing convex portions to the continuous sheet, the amount of applied chemicals is small. Further, there is a concern that the chemicals may not be applied to an embossing concave surface. For this reason, it is difficult to sufficiently improve the surface lubrication property and the moisture-retaining property. Further, since chemicals applying process in which the paper strength is the lowest, and the embossing process, in which the continuous sheet are nipped with a predetermined pressure, are performed at the same time, paper breakage may be easily occurred and hence these processes need to be performed at a low speed. For this reason, it is difficult to improve the productivity. 
         [0013]    Meanwhile, in a technique of Patent Literature 2, embossing is performed when manufacturing a log from a paper roll set in a winder and chemicals are applied in spraying. 
         [0014]    However, even in the technique of Patent Literature 2, since the log is manufactured immediately after applying the chemicals, the chemicals tend to spread in the sheet after manufacturing the log, and hence there is a disadvantage that the log tends to loose the shape and deviate in winding due to stretching of the sheet caused by stretching of crepe. Particularly, since the log is cut, at a post stage, into a toilet roll, once the log deviates in winding or looses the shape, which causes defective toilet roll products, this means the yield is degraded, leading to low productivity. 
         [0015]    Further, as in Patent Literature 1, since the log is manufactured immediately after the chemicals application applying process, the tension control is difficult, paper breakage may be easily occurred on forming perforation lines on the sheet and the tension of the continuous sheet is decreased, thereby the processing speed needs to be decreased. Accordingly, the productivity cannot be improved. 
         [0016]    Further, in the technique of Patent Literature 2, since the chemicals are applied particularly by spray application after the embossing, the embossing may easily loose shape thereof. Furthermore, the amount of the ejected chemicals is limited because of the spraying in the winder, so, if the operation would not be performed at a low speed, the amount of applied chemicals to the continuous sheet would be insufficient, which leads inevitably to low productivity. 
         [0017]    In a technique of Patent Literature 3, embossed crepe paper is obtained as base paper for toilet paper products. Here, continuous sheets are reeled out from a plurality of paper rolls; multi-ply forming is performed on continuous sheets, chemicals are applied to these multi-ply continuous sheets, water is further sprayed thereto so that the sheets become wet sheets, and embossing is performed on the sheets. Then, the respective multi-ply continuous sheets are separated before the rewinding. 
         [0018]    However, in the technique of Patent Literature 3, since water is sprayed before the embossing, the embossing is performed before the continuous sheet is sufficiently impregnated with the chemicals or the water. For this reason, the chemicals, which are not impregnated yet into the surface of the continuous sheet, tend to adhere to a convex embossing roll and a receiving roll used for the embossing. Since this condition may cause the tearing of the sheet and stop of the manufacturing line for a cleaning operation, the productivity cannot be improved. 
         [0019]    It is known that if oily chemicals are used for application, decrease of paper strength can be suppressed, and a toilet roll, which uses such oily chemicals, is also known. In such a toilet roll, the surface lubrication property can be sufficiently improved, but the moisture-retaining property is not sufficient. This is because, the oily chemicals are, among chemicals, known to unlikely to be impregnated into sheet layers. Further, for the toilet roll which uses oily chemicals, it is difficult to obtain the water disintegration property necessary for the toilet roll.

         [0093]    Toilet roll products, which are manufactured by the manufacturing method according to any one of claims  1  to  16 . 
       Advantageous Effects of Invention 
       [0094]    In the present invention, a continuous sheet is applied with chemicals in a ply machine and is wound once to manufacture a secondary paper roll, and then a log is manufactured in a winder. 
         [0095]    A ply machine is often used to manufacture two-ply (two-layer) or multi-ply tissue paper. 
         [0096]    However, on manufacturing toilet rolls, even if they are two-ply products, it is normal that a log is manufactured while multi-ply forming is performed in a winder and it is unusual that a winding process is performed purposely and separately for example in a ply machine. 
         [0097]    In contrast, in the present invention, such a ply machine is used purposely, precisely, it is designed that the secondary paper roll to be supplied to the winder is continuously manufactured from a primary paper roll obtained by manufacturing and winding a paper sheet in the ply machine and a chemicals applying unit is provided inside the ply machine so as to apply chemicals to the continuous sheet for manufacturing the secondary paper roll applied with the chemicals. 
         [0098]    Accordingly, first, as a first advantage attained by using the ply machine, in a manufacturing factory equipped with a toilet roll manufacturing facility and a tissue paper product facility, a part of a toilet roll manufacturing line and a general tissue paper manufacturing line can be commonly used. In this case, there is advantageously no need to provide another chemicals applying unit for the toilet roll. Accordingly, the above advantage enables space-saving with low facility investment. 
         [0099]    Further, even when an existing ply machine is not provided with a chemicals applying unit, only minor modification of the existing ply machine is required instead of the great modification, resulting in another advantage of less facility investment. 
         [0100]    Meanwhile, in a case where toilet roll products applied with chemicals are manufactured through manufacturing of a secondary paper roll applied with the chemicals in a ply machine, since the secondary paper roll is obtained by winding the multi-ply continuous sheets applied with the chemicals like annual growth rings, the chemicals diffuse with time into inner layers of the multi-ply-sheet from the secondary paper roll and between the multi-ply continuous sheets contacting mutually in the state of the secondary paper roll. Further, it is possible to ensure transfer period to processing treatment in the winder or intentional seasoning time, leading to the uniform diffusion of chemicals inside the multi-ply continuous sheet. 
         [0101]    Thus, in the winder, on forming of a perforation line, although which originally degrades paper strength but is necessary for the toilet roll, there is little difference part to part in the continuous sheet, which enables stable operation and improved manufacturing speed in the winder. 
         [0102]    However, particularly when water-based chemicals are used, the chemicals diffuse in sheets. In this case, paper strength is degraded and uniform diffusion of the chemicals cannot be attained shortly. 
         [0103]    Further, since the diffusion of the chemicals, the moisture absorbing to the sheet, and the growth of the crepe of the sheet are sufficiently performed at the secondary paper roll, for the log manufactured by winging with the winder, it is unlikely to cause an adverse effect such as deviating in winding, loosing shape and the like, which would be caused by the diffusion of the chemicals, the moisture absorbing to the sheet, and the growth of the crepe of the sheet. For this reason, even when the log is manufactured by winding the toilet paper having a comparatively short length so as to have a predetermined diameter in a form of a so-called loosely wound manner, it is unlikely to cause deviating in winding, loosing shape resulting in stable operation with low incidence of defective log. 
         [0104]    Meanwhile, in the present invention, it is possible to manufacture the embossed toilet roll. Such embossing can be performed by the ply machine or by the winder. 
         [0105]    In a case of forming of the embossing by the ply machine, the embossing may be rapidly and stably performed without a perforation line applying unit. In a case of forming of the embossing by the winder, the embossing may be performed while the chemicals are uniformly diffused. In either case, it is possible to further rapidly and stably perform the embossing in the toilet roll applied with the chemicals than ever before. 
         [0106]    Particularly, in a case of performing of the embossing by the ply machine, since the embossing is performed on the multi-ply continuous sheet with a relatively strong tensile strength, it is advantageous in that the ply machine may be operated at a high speed. Further, even in a case of double embossing, if one surface is applied with the chemicals, it is possible to reduce degradation in the paper strength, which would be caused by the application of the chemicals, and high speed of embossing can be sufficiently attained. In the manner where such double embossing is performed, it is possible to manufacture the multi-ply continuous sheet which is thick and bulky, resulting in advantageous texture. 
         [0107]    Meanwhile, in a case of performing of the embossing by the winder, since the secondary paper roll applied with the chemicals is used, it is possible to perform the embossing while the chemicals are uniformly diffused inside the sheet. Then, it is possible to reliably perform the embossing without any unevenness and to ensure the stable production with a high speed. 
         [0108]    Meanwhile, in the present invention, a single-ply secondary paper roll may be manufactured without operating the multi-ply forming unit in the ply machine. Then, the log may be manufactured by performing multi-ply forming on a plurality of the secondary paper rolls in the winder. Alternatively, the log may be manufactured in the winder in a non-multi-ply state. Even in these cases, it is advantageous in that the secondary paper roll can be rapidly manufactured in the ply machine. Further, in a case of performing the embossing in the winder, since the secondary paper roll applied with the chemicals is used, it is possible to perform the embossing while the chemicals are uniformly diffused into the sheet and to reliably perform the embossing without any unevenness. That is, the products can be manufactured stably and at a high speed.

     DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS 
       [0140]    Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail by referring to the drawings. In the drawings, the arrow HD indicates the horizontal direction and the arrow LD indicates the vertical direction. Furthermore, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments. 
       First Embodiment; Embossing is not Performed 
       [0141]    [Paper-Manufacturing Process: Method and Facility for Manufacturing Primary Paper Roll] 
         [0142]    A primary paper roll JR (referred to as a jumbo roll) according to the present invention may be manufactured as below by an exemplary paper manufacturing machine X 1  illustrated in  FIG. 1 . 
         [0143]    First, a paper material, which has been adjusted in advance by adding appropriate chemicals from a head box  31  to pulp slurry, is supplied onto a wire  32   w  of a wire part  32  so as to form wet paper W (forming process). Then, the wet paper W is conveyed to a felt  33 F of a press part  33  and is dewatered by being nipped between a pair of dewatering rolls  34  and  35  (dewatering process). 
         [0144]    Subsequently, the dewatered wet paper W is attached to a surface of a Yankee dryer  36  so as to be dried. Then, the dried paper was separated therefrom with a doctor blade  37  so as to be dry base paper S 1  (single-sheet from the primary paper roll as described later) with crepe (drying process). 
         [0145]    Then, the dry base paper S 1  is wound by a winding unit  38  with a winding drum  39  so that the rear surface of the dry base paper S 1  faces the shaft of the primary paper roll JR (the rear surface thereof becomes the inner winding surface) and becomes the primary paper roll JR (primary paper winding process). 
         [0146]    The primary paper roll JR has the diameter of substantially 1000 to 5000 mm, the length (width) of 1500 to 9200 mm, and the winding length of 5000 to 80000 m, although they may change depending on performance of paper manufacturing machine X 1 . 
         [0147]    Furthermore, a calendering step (not illustrated) may be provided, for the dry base paper S 1 , which has been separated by the doctor blade  37  provided at a previous stage of the primary paper winding process, so that the front and rear surfaces are smoothened. 
         [0148]    Here, the rear surface of the dry base paper S 1  indicates a surface opposite to a surface contacting a cylinder of the Yankee dryer  36 . Furthermore, although depending on the existence or non-existence of the calendering process, it can be considered that the front surface contacting the Yankee dryer that generally has a mirror surface is smoother with better surface property. Here, the single-sheet S 1  from the primary paper roll which defines the primary paper roll JR is to be processed into toilet paper  1  later, and the basis weight thereof is substantially equal to the basis weight of the toilet paper as final products. Specifically, by taking this into consideration, a basis weight of the single-sheet S 1  from the primary paper roll is 10 to 25 g/m 2 , desirably 12 to 20 g/m 2 , more desirably 13 to 18 g/m 2  according to JIS P 8124. A basis weight less than 10 g/m 2  is preferable from the viewpoint of improving the paper in softness but makes it difficult to provide a sufficient strength properly for practical use and to perform the rewinding (log manufacturing) in the winder provided at a post stage. Meanwhile, a basis weight of more than 25 g/m 2  makes the toilet paper too hard with deteriorated hand feel. 
         [0149]    Further, the paper thickness (measured by a dial thickness gauge manufactured by Ozaki. Co., Ltd) is 80 to 250 μm, desirably 100 to 200 μm, and more desirably 130 to 180 μm. 
         [0150]    Further, the crepe ratio of the single-sheet S 1  from the primary paper roll is 10 to 30%, desirably 15 to 28%, and more desirably 20 to 25%. A crepe ratio of smaller than 10% causes easily paper breakage in processing treatment provided at a post stage, and the resultant toilet paper does not stretch sufficiently with small rigidity. Meanwhile, a crepe ratio of more than 30% makes it difficult to control tension in the processing treatment and causes easily paper breakage and makes the manufactured toilet paper deteriorate in an appearance due to formed wrinkles. 
         [0151]    Here, the crepe ratio is expressed by the following equation. 
         [0000]      Crepe ratio: {(peripheral speed of a dryer at paper manufacturing)−(peripheral speed of a reel in a winding unit)}/(peripheral speed of the dryer at paper manufacturing)×100
 
         [0152]    Further, the dry tensile strength (hereinafter, referred to as also a dry paper strength) of the single-sheet S 1  from the primary paper roll in the longitudinal direction specified by JIS P 8113 is set to 300 to 900 cN/25 mm, desirably 350 to 800 cN/25 mm, and particularly desirably 400 to 700 cN/25 mm in a case of two plies. Meanwhile, the dry tensile strength in the transverse direction is set to 100 to 400 cN/25 mm, desirably 130 to 350 cN/25 mm, and particularly desirably 150 to 300 cN/25 mm in a case of two plies. Too low dry tensile strength of the base causes easily trouble such as paper breakage, stretching and the like at paper manufacturing and during use. Meanwhile, too high dry tensile strength deteriorates paper hand feel represented by softness hand feel. 
         [0153]    The paper strength can be adjusted as appropriate by known methods for example, by adding a dry paper strength enhancer to paper materials or wet paper; by decreasing freeness of paper materials (for example, to 30 to 40 ml or so); by increasing combination ratio of NBKP in raw material pulp (for example, to 50% or more); and by appropriately combining the above manners. 
         [0154]    Furthermore, as the dry paper strength enhancer, starch, polyacrylamide, CMC (carboxymethylcellulose) and as salts thereof, carboxymethylcellulose sodium, carboxymethylcellulose calcium, carboxymethylcellulose zinc, or the like may be used. As the wet paper strength enhancer, polyamide-polyamine-epichlorohydrin resin, urea resin, melamine resin acid colloid, thermal cross-linking polyacrylamide agent and the like may be used. 
         [0155]    In a case of adding the dry paper strength enhancer, an amount of addition may be set to about 0.5 to 1.0 kg/t as the weight ratio with respect to pulp slurry. 
         [0156]    Since the toilet paper needs to be disintegrated in water, it is desirable that the wet paper strength agent be not added or be added by a small amount. However, in a case of adding the wet paper strength agent, this agent conducts an advantageous action in manufacturing the log in the winder provided at the post stage. In consideration of this advantageous point, the agent may be added by a small amount, that is, 5 kg/t or less as the weight ratio with respect to the pulp slurry. 
         [0157]    A paper material, which becomes a raw material of the primary paper roll (the primary paper sheet), will be explained below. The paper material is obtained by adding appropriate chemicals to slurry (pulp slurry) mainly having pulp as a fiber raw material. 
         [0158]    In the present invention, the raw material pulp is not particularly limited, and appropriate raw material pulp used for the toilet paper may be selected for use. 
         [0159]    It is preferable that raw material pulp is a combination of NBKP and LBKP. It is possible to blend recycled pulp, however, a mixture of only NBKP and LBKP of virgin pulp is preferable in terms of the favorable compatibility with lotion chemicals in accordance with the present invention, appropriate manufacturing of the log in the winder and desirable hand feel of the resultant tissue paper. In this case, the mixture ratio (JIS P 8120) is NBKP:LBKP=20:80 to 80:20, in particular desirably NBKP:LBKP=30:70 to 60:40. 
         [0160]    As the chemicals added to the paper material, there are a peeling agent, an adhesive agent, a pH adjuster such as caustic soda, a mucilaginous agent, an antifoaming agent, an antiseptic agent, a slime control agent, a dying agent, and the like may be exemplified other than the above dry paper strength agent and the wet paper strength agent. Furthermore, these chemicals may be applied onto the wet paper by an appropriate process. 
         [0161]    [Process in Ply Machine: Method and Facility for Manufacturing Secondary Paper Roll] 
         [0162]    In the present invention, a secondary paper roll R applied with the chemicals is manufactured from the primary paper roll JR, which has been manufactured by the paper manufacturing machine X 1 , purposely in a ply machine X 2  illustrated in  FIG. 2 . 
         [0163]    The ply machine X 2  according to the embodiment may set two or more primary paper rolls JR thereto, single-sheets (S 11  and S 12  in the example illustrated in the drawing) from the primary paper rolls which are reeled out of the respective primary paper rolls JR and JR are multi-plied along the continuation direction and are supplied to a multi-ply forming unit  51  so as to become a multi-ply continuous sheet S 2 . Here, the multi-ply forming unit  51  includes a pair of nipping rolls and performs multi-ply forming on and nips the respective single-sheets S 11 , S 12  from the primary paper rolls so that the respective single-sheets from the primary paper rolls are multi-plied and integrated. 
         [0164]    Furthermore, in the example illustrated in the drawing, the single-sheets S 11  and S 12  from the primary paper rolls reeled out of the respective primary paper rolls JR and JR are supplied to the multi-ply forming unit  51  so that the surfaces thereof become the surfaces of the multi-ply continuous sheet S 2  (here, the “surfaces” of the multi-ply continuous sheet indicate the front and rear surfaces of the multi-ply continuous sheet S 2  as the outer surfaces thereof). The rear surfaces of the single-sheets S 11  and S 12  from the primary paper rolls may respectively become the surfaces of the multi-ply continuous sheet S 2 . Then, any one of the rear surfaces of the single-sheets S 11  and S 12  from the primary paper rolls may become the surface of the multi-ply continuous sheet S 2 , and the other rear surface thereof may become the surface of the multi-ply continuous sheet S 2 . However, since the front surfaces of the primary paper sheets S 11  and S 12  contact the surface of the Yankee dryer during the drying process, the front surfaces are less fuzzy, smoother and better sensation of touch than the rear surfaces. For this reason, it is desirable to define the front and rear surfaces of the multi-ply continuous sheet S 2  by the front surfaces of the single-sheets from the primary paper rolls (the dry base papers S 1 ). 
         [0165]    Further, in the example illustrated in the drawing, two primary paper rolls JR are set and a so-called two-ply continuous sheet is wound. However, a three-ply or a four-ply continuous sheet may be wound by setting three or four primary paper rolls. 
         [0166]    In the first embodiment, a chemicals applying unit  53  is provided at a post stage of the multi-ply forming unit  51  of the ply machine X 2 , and a chemicals applying process for continuously applying chemicals to the multi-ply continuous sheet S 2  is performed. Furthermore, a configuration may be employed in which the front and rear installation positions of the multi-ply forming unit  51  and the chemicals applying unit  53  are switched, the chemicals are applied to the respective single-sheets S 11  and S 12  from the primary paper rolls, and after that, the single-sheets from the primary paper rolls applied with the chemicals are multi-plied on each other. 
         [0167]    In order to apply the chemicals onto the multi-ply continuous sheet S 2  in the ply machine X 2 , the chemicals applying unit  53  may employ flexographic printing, spray application, inkjet printing, or the like. However, the flexographic printing is suitable, because in flexographic printing, high-speed performance of the ply machine X 2  can be handled, a printing plate cylinder is flexible, high-speed operation can be ensured, scattering of the chemicals can be prevented, and amount of applied material can be adjusted. Further, the spray application, the inkjet printing, and curtain coating as non-contact application where the chemicals are applied directly onto the paper surface without using a printing plate cylinder or the like are desirable in that paper thickness is not decreased since the printing plate cylinder or the like does not contact the paper surface. However, in the non-contact application, uniform application and adjustment of an amount of applied chemicals may not be performed rapidly compared to roll transfer type applying unit such as flexographic printing. Further, in an embodiment where embossing is performed, as discussed later, such disadvantage becomes noticeable. Accordingly, in the present invention, the roll transfer type is desirable, and the flexographic printing is the most desirable from the general viewpoint. 
         [0168]    The number of the chemicals applying unit  53  may be either one or plural. In the example illustrated in the drawing, the embodiment is shown where two doctor chamber type flexographic printers  53 A and  53 B are provided so as to apply the chemicals to both outer surfaces of the multi-ply continuous sheet S 2 . In a case where a plurality of chemicals applying unit  53  are provided, the plurality of chemicals applying unit may be provided in parallel in the horizontal direction, the vertical direction, or the inclination direction or may be provided by combining these installation directions including the horizontal direction. When the plurality of chemicals applying unit are provided in parallel in the horizontal direction, the embracing angle can be set to be small, and hence the processing speed can be increased. When the plurality of chemicals applying unit are provided in parallel in the vertical direction, the installation space in the horizontal direction may be set to be small. 
         [0169]    Regarding an amount of applied chemicals, the total amount on both the outer surfaces (the respective surfaces that become the outer surfaces of the toilet paper) is set to 0.3 to 5.0 g/m 2 , desirably 1.0 to 3.9 g/m 2 , and more desirably 2.0 to 3.0 g/m 2 . The amount of more than 3.9 g/m 2  may cause paper breakage due to decreased paper strength or stretching, and cause also too strong stickiness hand feel in quality, and additionally, such amount makes it difficult to rewind (log manufacturing) as described later. Meanwhile the amount of less than 0.3 g/m 2  make it difficult to feel any difference in smoothness or wetness hand feel in quality from those of non-applied products. An amount of applied chemicals is more preferably 2.0 to 3.0 g/m 2 , which brings about high sensory evaluation in the thickness hand feel, the wetness hand feel and the like. Furthermore, in the present invention, an amount of applied chemicals to portions to be the outer surfaces of the toilet paper may be different from each other. Further, the chemicals may be applied to only one surface of the respective surfaces corresponding to the outer surfaces of the toilet paper. 
         [0170]    As for the chemicals applied in the chemicals applying process, the viscosity is desirably 1 to 700 mPa·s at 40° C. More desirably, the viscosity is 50 to 400 mPa·s (40° C.). Particularly, a viscosity of smaller than 1 mPa·s is likely to cause scattered chemicals. On the contrary, a viscosity of larger than 700 mPa·s makes it difficult to control the amount of applied chemicals so as to be stable. 
         [0171]    The chemicals used in the present invention are water based lotion chemicals, which include water and polyol as the components thereof. Particularly, it is desirable to include polyol of 70 to 90% and water of 1 to 15%. It is more desirable to include further functional chemicals of 0.01 to 22%. 
         [0172]    As the above polyol, there are polyalcohol such as glycerin, diglycerin, propylene glycol, 1, 3-butylene glycol, polyethyleneglycol, and the derivative thereof and saccharides such as sorbitol, glucose, xylitol, maltose, maltitol, mannitol, and trehalose. 
         [0173]    Among the elements, it is desirable to include, as a main component, polyalcohol such as glycerin and propyleneglycol in order to attain high sensory evaluation of softness, moisture-retaining property and the like as well as stability in viscosity and in an amount of the applied chemicals. 
         [0174]    As the functional chemicals, there are softening agent, surfactant, inorganic and organic fine powders, an oily component, and the like. The softening agent and surfactant are effective to soften tissue or smoothen the surface thereof, and anionic surfactants, cationic surfactants and amphoteric surfactants are employed. The inorganic and organic fine powders cause the surface to be smooth. The oily component may improve a lubrication property, and higher alcohols such as; liquid paraffin, cetanol, stearyl alcohol, and oleyl alcohol may be employed. Further, as the functional chemicals, a moisturizing agent may be any combination of one or more of hydrophilic high molecular gelatinizing agent, collagen, hydrolyzed collagen, hydrolyzed keratin, hydrolyzed silk, hyaluronic acid or salt thereof, ceramide, and the like may be added as chemicals which helps or maintains the moisture-retaining property of polyol. 
         [0175]    Further, as the functional chemicals, an emollient agent such as various natural essences, vitamins, an emulsifying agent which stabilizes mixed components, an antifoaming agent which stabilizes the chemicals applying by suppressing foaming of the chemicals, an antimold agent, and a deodorant agent such as organic acid may be appropriately mixed. Further, an antioxidant agent of vitamin C and vitamin E may be contained. 
         [0176]    The chemicals are applied at a temperature of 30° C. to 60° C. and desirably 35° C. to 55° C. 
         [0177]    Here, there are generally various kinds of chemicals used for a type of products applied with chemicals, and the chemicals are largely classified into water based chemicals which contain water and polyol according to the present invention and oily chemicals which mainly contain water insoluble wax in a half-solid state at a room temperature. The water-based chemicals are characterized in easy handling, low price, and almost no decrease in water disintegrability. 
         [0178]    Further, when the water-based chemicals are applied onto the sheet, the sheet is impregnated therewith along the sheet thickness direction (referred to also as the Z direction) due to excellent compatibility between the chemicals and pulp fiber forming the sheet, so that the properties of the entire sheet and the surface thereof are reformed. On the contrary, when the oily chemicals are applied onto the sheet, the oily chemicals mainly affect so as to improve smoothness of the surface with deteriorated water disintegrability. Meanwhile, the water-based chemicals are impregnated into the sheet so that crepe of the applied sheet is affected so as to stretch with decreased paper strength, but such affection is little in the case of the oily chemicals. 
         [0179]    In the present invention, manufacturing can be carried out at a high speed although sufficient amount of such water-based chemicals are used with improvement of a moisture-retaining property (wetness hand feel), flexibility (softness hand feel), and a surface lubrication property (smoothness hand feel) and also with improved productivity. 
         [0180]    The multi-ply continuous sheet S 3 , which is applied with the chemicals in the chemicals applying unit  53 , is guided to a winding unit  56  so as to be wound thereon and becomes a secondary paper roll R. The winding unit  56  includes a pair of winding drums  56 A and  56 B which rotate so as to contact with the outer surface of the multi-ply continuous sheet S 3  wound on a rotatable pipe shaft, and when these two winding drums  56 A and  56 A and the pipe shaft appropriately rotate, the multi-ply continuous sheet S 3  applied with the chemicals is wound while being guided. 
         [0181]    Here, the secondary paper roll R is a roll with an extremely large diameter compared to the winding diameter (diameter) of the toilet roll, and is different from a so-called log which has substantially the same diameter as the winding diameter of the toilet roll. 
         [0182]    The present invention is characterized in that the log is not directly manufactured from the primary paper roll JR so that, by employing the ply machine X 2 , the secondary paper roll R applied with the chemicals is manufactured. 
         [0183]    Here, various desirable processing treatments performed in the ply machine X 2  and units used in the same of the present invention will be described in more detail below. 
         [0184]    On manufacturing the secondary paper roll R applied with the chemicals for the toilet roll in the ply machine X 2 , the processing speed is 300 to 900 m/minute, desirably 500 to 900 m/minute, and more desirably 700 to 800 m/minute. A processing speed of smaller than 300 m/minute cannot bring about sufficient productivity. Meanwhile, a processing speed of larger than 900 m/minute makes it difficult to manufacture the toilet paper stably. Particularly, it is preferable that the processing speed is 500 m/minute and particularly, 700 m/minute, because by doing so, the products can be supplied to the winder provided at the post stage, the stock can be sufficiently managed, and a plurality of winders can be operated, which leads to high productivity. A processing speed of 800 m/minute or less enables further stable operation. 
         [0185]    Furthermore, in the present invention, a processing speed is at least 300 m/minute or more, normally 500 m/minute or more, and preferably of 700 m/minute or more, such processing speed is far higher from the viewpoint of productivity of the conventional toilet rolls. 
         [0186]    Meanwhile, in the ply machine X 2 , a slitting unit  55  is provided at a previous stage of the winding portion  56 . Then, the multi-ply continuous sheet S 3  applied with the chemicals is slit to an appropriate width in the continuation direction, and the slit multi-ply continuous sheets S 3  are wound, so that the sheets may become secondary paper rolls R each having an appropriate width in the winder provided at a post stage. 
         [0187]    Furthermore, the slit herein is a width appropriate not to the width of the toilet roll but to that of the winder provided at the post stage, and it is substantially indicated that the multi-ply continuous sheet S 3  is slit into a half or a third. 
         [0188]    The slitting unit  55  for slitting may be configured so that a plurality of roll cutters and a plurality of receiving portions are provided in parallel in the width direction of the multi-ply continuous sheet S 3  at a predetermined interval. 
         [0189]    Meanwhile, in the ply machine X 2 , one or more calender unit  52  may be provided between the multi-ply forming unit  51  and the winding unit  56  so that calendering is performed on the multi-ply continuous sheets S 2  and S 3  before and after the application of the chemicals. In the example illustrated in the drawing, the calender units are provided at the post stage of the multi-ply forming unit  51  and at the previous stage of the chemicals applying unit  53 , and such an arrangement is desirable. 
         [0190]    The type of calender in the calender unit  52  is not particularly limited, but a soft calender or a chilled calender is desirable due to the improvement in smoothness and the adjustment of the paper thickness. The soft calender is one using a roll covered with an elastic material such as urethane rubber, while the chilled calender is one using a metal roll. 
         [0191]    The number of the calender unit can be appropriately changed. When the pluralities of calender units are provided, there is an advantage that the surface of the sheet may be sufficiently smoothened even when the processing speed is fast. Then, there is an advantage that one calender units can be provided even in a narrow space. In a case where two or more calender units are provided, these calender units can be provided in parallel in the horizontal direction, in the vertical direction, or in the inclination direction, and also can be provided by combining these manners. The calender units provided in parallel in the horizontal direction allows small embracing angle, and hence leads to high processing speed. The calender units provided in parallel in the vertical direction allows small installation space. The embracing angle used herein is, in a circle of a cross section of a roll (being perpendicular to a shaft of the roll), an angle generated when a portion of the circle contacting with a sheet, is viewed from a center of the circle (the same applies to the following description). 
         [0192]    Paper making is performed with control factors including also, type of calender, nipping pressure, and number of nips in a calendering process, and each control factor is preferably changed depending on required quality of toilet paper such as paper thickness and surface property. 
       [Process in Winder: Log Manufacturing Process] 
       [0193]    As described above, the secondary paper roll is manufactured by winding the multi-ply continuous sheet S 3  applied with the chemicals in the ply machine X 2 , and after that it is conveyed to a winder X 3  so as to manufacture a log  10 R. In  FIG. 3 ,  FIG. 3(A)  illustrates a process for manufacturing a long paper core  11 L to be used for manufacturing the log,  FIG. 3(B)  illustrates a log manufacturing process, and  FIG. 3(C)  illustrates a cutting process (C). The part illustrated in (B) is the log manufacturing process in the winder. Here, the process (A) for manufacturing the long paper core  11 L will be described. 
         [0194]    As illustrated in also  FIG. 4 , in the process ( FIG. 3(A) ) for manufacturing the long paper core  11 L, two sheets of band-like base paper (paperboards)  12  and  12  for the paper cores are glued by a gluing roll  13  at its predetermined positions while being reeled out from paper rolls  12 A and  12 A, are wound on a shaft  15  in a spiral shape by a core winder  14  while glued portions are overlapped, and are evenly cut into a predetermined length according to the width of the winder or the secondary paper roll R by a slitter  16 , so that the cylindrical long paper core  11 L is manufactured. Furthermore, the sheets of base paper  12 ,  12  for the paper cores can be different each other. For example, one of the sheets of base paper can be printed, or the respective basis weights thereof can be different each other. It is unnecessary also in the present invention that the sheets of base paper  12  and  12  are the same. Furthermore, it is desirable to set the diameter of the paper core to 35 to 50 mm. 
         [0195]    Subsequently, the log  10 R is manufactured by the winder X 3  in parallel to or subsequently after the process for manufacturing the long paper core  11 L. Furthermore, log  10 R is an expression used in the filed of this art, and is an in-process material having the same diameter as that of a toilet roll and a width plural times the width of the toilet roll. 
         [0196]    The winder X 3  according to the first embodiment includes a paper roll support portion, a ply bonding unit  54 , a perforation line applying unit  70  with a perforation roll  71 , and a rewinding unit  75  which are provided in this order. 
         [0197]    As for manufacturing of the log  10 R in the first embodiment, a multi-ply continuous sheet S 3  applied with the chemicals are wound by the secondary paper roll R set on the paper roll support portion in the winder X 3 ; from this secondary paper roll R, a multi-ply-sheet S 4  is continuously reeled out; on this multi-ply-sheet S 4  from the secondary paper roll, a ply bonding is performed by the ply bonding unit  54 ; on the ply bonding performed multi-ply-sheet S 4  from the secondary paper roll, perforation lines are further formed along the width direction thereof at a predetermined interval in the flow direction by the perforation line applying unit  70 ; and then the multi-ply-sheet S 4  from the secondary paper roll is rewound to have the winding diameter of the toilet roll by the rewinding unit  75  so that the log  10 R finally can be manufactured. 
         [0198]    As illustrated in  FIG. 5 , the ply bonding unit (ply bonding process)  54  is configured so that a receiving roll  154 B, which is a metal roll or an elastic roll, and a metallic rigid roller  154 A, which has minute convex portions  154 C formed on the surface thereof, are provided rotatably while the outer peripheral surfaces thereof abut against each other with a predetermined pressure. Then, the multi-ply-sheet S 4  from the secondary paper roll is conveyed, while nipped between the receiving roll  154 B and the convex portions  154 C, which are respectively provided as many as two at each of left and right sides of a portion of the multi-ply-sheet S 4  from the secondary paper roll, which is corresponding to the center in the width direction of the width L 1  of the toilet roll. Thus, linear contact embosses CE can be formed on the multi-ply-sheet S 4  from the secondary paper roll along the continuation direction of the multi-ply-sheet S 4  from the secondary paper roll so as to prevent the ply-separating. 
         [0199]    Furthermore, it is desirable to manufacture the log  10 R by winding the multi-ply-sheet S 4  from the secondary paper roll in the rewinding unit  75  provided at the post stage, while the surface facing the roller  154 A provided for forming the contact embosses CE is set to become an outer peripheral side surface. 
         [0200]    The contact embosses CE applied in this way make it possible to prevent the ply-separating of the multi-ply-sheet S 4  from the secondary paper roll, which is formed by multi-ply forming of the plurality of single-sheets (S 11  and S 12 ) from the primary paper rolls. 
         [0201]    Further, in the embodiment, the ply bonding process  54  uses the metallic rigid roller  154 A having the minutes convex portions  154 C formed on the surface thereof as the roller  154 A. Not being limited to this, any manner may be employed as long as a linear bonding portion is formed on the multi-ply-sheet S 4  from the secondary paper roll for preventing the ply-separating. For example, a roller having minute needle-like members formed on the surface thereof may be used as the roller instead of the roller  154 A. 
         [0202]    Further, the ply bonding unit is not limited to the above-described example. That is, a roller may be used in which a tip of a convex portion is formed in a dot shape, a square shape, a rectangular shape, a circular shape, an oval shape, or the like or a roller may be used in which a tip of a convex portion is formed in a thin and elongated shape or a thin and inclined linear shape. 
         [0203]    Meanwhile, an arrangement is considered in which the convex portions are arranged at the same interval. However, the convex portions can be arranged in a zigzag shape and they are not necessary to be arranged at the same interval. Further, an arrangement may be considered in which two rows of convex portions are arranged instead of the arrangement in which one row of convex portions are arranged so as to continuously form the contact emboss. Then, plural groups of convex portions may be arranged to form plural rows of the contact embosses in a closely arranged state so that the plurality of ply bonding groups are formed. Furthermore, as the bonding process, another bonding unit using an ultrasonic wave or the like may be used instead of the above-described mechanical pressure bonding unit. 
         [0204]    Furthermore, in the example illustrated in the drawing, the ply bonding unit  54  is provided in the winder X 3 . However, in the embodiment, a configuration may be employed in which the ply bonding unit is provided at the post stage of the multi-ply forming unit  51  in the ply machine X 2  so as to manufacture the secondary paper roll applied with the ply bonding in advance. In this case, by utilizing the secondary paper roll applied with the ply bonding, the ply bonding is not applied in the winder X 3 . Furthermore, in the ply bonding, which is applied by the ply machine X 2  in this way, if the slitting process is performed in the ply machine X 2 , it is preferable that the ply bonding is performed at the previous stage of the slitting process and it is more preferable that the ply bonding is performed also at the post stage of the chemicals applying unit  53 . 
         [0205]    Meanwhile, the perforation line applying unit  70  in the winder X 3  includes the so-called perforation roll  71 , which has a blade row with a plurality of blades arranged on the peripheral surface along the axial direction, and a receiving roll  72 , which makes a pair with the roll  71 , and when the multi-ply-sheet S 4  from the secondary paper roll passes between the perforation roll  71  and the receiving roll  72 , the saw blade of the perforation roll  71  contacts the multi-ply-sheet S 4  from the secondary paper roll so that the perforation line is formed on the multi-ply-sheet S 4  from the secondary paper roll. Plural rows of the saw blades of the perforation roll  71  are formed on the peripheral surface with a gap therebetween, and the perforation lines are formed at a predetermined interval in the flow direction of the multi-ply-sheet S 4  from the secondary paper roll by the rotation of the perforation roll  71 . 
         [0206]    Here, in the toilet roll according to the present invention, the tensile strength of the multi-ply-sheet S 4  from the secondary paper roll in the length direction at the perforation line may be appropriately 10 to 200 cN (desirably 40 to 60 cN). This range preferably makes it possible to reduce remarkably a risk that the sheet is accidentally torn at the perforation line during the manufacturing process, while the range makes it possible to cut reliably the sheet at the perforation line in using the toilet roll. Here, the “tensile strength in the length direction of the multi-ply-sheet from the secondary paper roll at the perforation line” indicates the dry tensile strength, which is measured based on the tensile strength test method specified by JIS P 8113, and indicates not a sheet as it is, i.e., a sheet without a perforation line, but the sheet with the perforation line, and such tensile strength is measured across the perforation line. 
         [0207]    The tensile strength in the length direction at the perforation line can be controlled by adjusting paper strength, basis weight and the like of the multi-ply-sheet S 4  from the secondary paper roll, and by adjusting length of a tie as a connection portion and length of a cut as a cut portion in the perforation line, or by adjusting a tie-cut ratio, i.e., a ratio between the tie length and the cut length. 
         [0208]    More specifically, the tie-cut ratio can be adjusted by using a blade row having a desired tie-cut length and a desired tie-cut ratio. Further, the tensile strength may be also adjusted by linear pressing pressure applied from the perforation roll to the sheet (the pressing force (kgf/cm) applied to the sheet per unit sheet width) or the winder speed (the winding speed). 
         [0209]    Furthermore, in a preferable configuration of the perforation line of the present invention, the cut length is 0.9 to 37.5 mm and the tie-cut ratio (tie:cut) is 1:15 to 1:1. 
         [0210]    Meanwhile, the winder X 3  includes a shaft, a driving device for rotating the shaft, and a gluing device. The long paper core  11 L, which has been manufactured in the long paper core manufacturing process (FIG.  3 (A)), is inserted into the shaft. Then, in manufacturing the log  10 R, the shaft is first inserted into the long paper core  11 L, and appropriate glue is applied to the outer surface of the paper core while the shaft is inserted into the core. 
         [0211]    Subsequently, the tip edge of the multi-ply-sheet S 4  from the secondary paper roll adheres to the long paper core  11 L with the adhesive glue, and then the shaft is rotationally driven so that the multi-ply-sheet S 4  from the secondary paper roll is wound on the long paper core  11 L. 
         [0212]    Then, the multi-ply-sheet S 4  from the secondary paper roll having a predetermined length corresponding to the toilet roll is wound on the long paper core  11 L so as to form a roll having a winding diameter (diameter) corresponding to the toilet roll and having a width plural times or more the width of the toilet roll, the rotational driving of the shaft is stopped, and the subsequent multi-ply-sheet S 4  from the secondary paper roll is cut so as to form the log  10 R. 
         [0213]    Furthermore, a portion (referred to as a tail), which is to be a free end by cutting the subsequent multi-ply-sheet from the secondary paper roll, adheres to the core outer surface by a known tail sealer mechanism through adhesive glue or the like. 
         [0214]    Here, as the preferable glue for the use of adhering the multi-ply-sheet S 4  from the secondary paper roll to the outer surface of the long paper core  11 L or adhering the wound tail to the core outer surface, there are an acrylate resin, PVA (polyvinyl alcohol), CMC (sodium carboxymethyl cellulose), starch, just water, and the like, which do not disturb the water disintegration property of the toilet paper. That is, known water-based glue can be used preferably. 
         [0215]    Furthermore, it is preferable a winding diameter of the log is 100 to 120 mm and a winding length of the log is 20 to 120 m, because such winding diameter and winding length hardly cause deviation in winding in the rewinding process. 
         [0216]    [Cutting Process by Log Cutter] 
         [0217]    After the log  10 R is manufactured in the winder X 3 , the log is continuously or intermittently conveyed to a log accumulator X 4 . The log accumulator X 4  is a known device, which moves the log  10 R in the height direction and in the transverse direction so that the plural logs  10 R are stocked and conveyed to a log cutter X 5  provided at the post stage. 
         [0218]    As for the logs, which are sequentially conveyed from the log accumulator X 4  to the log cutter X 5 , both ends of the log in the width direction are trimmed if necessary, and is cut into the width of the toilet roll so as to form individual toilet rolls  10 . The log cutter X 5  includes round blades  76 , which are arranged at plural intervals so as to contact the peripheral surface of the log  10 R, and the log  10 R is cut into the width of the toilet roll  10  by such round blades. 
         [0219]    Thus, the toilet rolls  10  are manufactured, in each of which, toilet paper S 5  is wound on the paper core  11 . As illustrated in  FIG. 6 , the manufactured toilet roll is completed by winding the toilet paper S 5 , which is obtained by cutting the multi-ply-sheet S 4  from the secondary paper roll, on the paper core  11  obtained by cutting the long paper core  11 L. 
         [0220]    Here, as a preferred example of the toilet roll  10  according to the present invention, as illustrated in  FIG. 6 , the width L 1  is 100 to 115 mm, the diameter L 4  is 100 to 120 mm, the winding length (the entire length of the toilet paper) is 18 to 70 m, and the diameter of the paper core is 35 to 50 mm. The perforation line interval L 2  is 100 to 300 mm. The chemicals application performed in the winder X 3  originally causes problems: e.g., deviation in winding due to protrusion of the log at a portion near the paper core; loosing shape of the log due to permeation of the chemicals; paper breakage occurred on forming perforation and the like. Due to these problems, it was so difficult to manufacture the toilet roll  10 . However, the manufacturing of toilet roll  10  having the above mentioned dimensions can be attained easily by employing the method in accordance with the present invention. 
         [0221]    Further, as for the toilet paper according to the present invention, it can be ensured that the water disintegration property test method specified by at least JIS P 4501 brings about 80 seconds or less. The water disintegration property of 80 seconds or more indicates that the water disintegration is too slow. For example, when the toilet paper having such a water disintegration property is disposed in a flush toilet or the like, a drainpipe may be blocked therewith. Particularly, in the toilet paper according to the present invention, it is possible to attain the water disintegration property of 35 seconds or less, which has been difficult for conventional toilet paper applied with chemicals. That is, the present invention may highly efficiently manufacture the toilet roll made of the toilet paper having a sufficient water disintegration property. 
         [0222]    [Packing Process] 
         [0223]    After the toilet roll  10  is manufactured, an appropriate number of these toilet rolls are packed with an outer film or the like by a known packing technique so as to obtain toilet roll products S. The examples of the toilet roll products S are illustrated in  FIGS. 7 and 8 , respectively. 
         [0224]    Regarding the packing, a cylindrical outer film base material is developed, an appropriate number of toilet rolls are pressed thereinto, as they are, a part of the outer film base material is thermally weld for bonding so that another part of the outer film base material is not affected by the bonding, the outer film  20  covers the toilet rolls so as to contact tightly or almost do so to the peripheral surfaces of the toilet rolls, while the toilet rolls cannot move, for bundling the toilet rolls without disorganization of the arrangement of toilet rolls. Here, as specific examples of the outer film  20 , there are polyethylene film such as HDPE (high-density polyethylene) film, LDPE (low-density polyethylene) film, and LLDPE (linear low-density polyethylene) film, polystyrene film, polypropylene film, or multi-ply film composed of some of the above films. Due to the low cost, the appropriate tearing property, and the appropriate strength, the HDPE film, the LDPE film, and a film obtained by combining HDPE and LDPE are appropriate. Further, multi-ply film cab be used in which a paper layer or a non-woven fabric layer is multi-plied on the above resin-based film. 
         [0225]    Furthermore, gusset packing, caramel packing, shrink packing, and the like are known and used as specific packing. In the gusset packing illustrated in  FIG. 7 , the number 4×3=12 of toilet rolls are arranged such that four toilet rolls are disposed in one set while the respective peripheral surfaces contact one another, and three stages, each of which consists of one set of four toilet rolls, overlap one another while the end surfaces face one another, and a handle  25  is formed at the upper end portion thereof. In the caramel packing illustrated in  FIG. 8 , the number 2×2=4 of toilet rolls are arranged such that two toilet rolls are disposed in one set while the respective peripheral surfaces contact each other, and two stages, each of which consists of one set of two toilet rolls, overlap each other while the end surfaces thereof face each other. 
         [0226]    The toilet roll products according to the first embodiment are manufactured according to the above processes. 
       Second Embodiment: Single Embossing is Performed by Ply Machine 
       [0227]    Subsequently, the second embodiment of the present invention will be described by particularly referring to  FIGS. 9 and 10 . The second embodiment is the same as the first embodiment except that so-called single embossing is performed on multi-ply continuous sheets S 2  and S 3  in the ply machine X 2 , thus, the other matters are as stated before. 
         [0228]    As illustrated in  FIG. 9 , in the ply machine X 2  according to the second embodiment, an embossing unit  60  is provided at the post stage of a chemicals applying unit  53 . Then, in the embossing unit  60 , embossing is performed on the multi-ply continuous sheet S 3  applied with chemicals by the chemicals applying unit  53 . Furthermore, the embossing mentioned herein is different from the above mentioned ply-bonding CE, which prevents the ply-separating and is applied to the entire sheet surface so as to improve bulkiness, design property, and surface property of the sheet, referred to as micro embossing, macro embossing, design embossing, or the like. 
         [0229]    The embossing unit  60  includes an embossing roll  61 , which has embossing convex portions formed on the peripheral surface thereof, and a nipping roll  62 , which makes a pair with the embossing roll. Then, by passing the multi-ply continuous sheet S 3  between the embossing roll  61  and the nipping roll  62 , the embossing pattern of the peripheral surface of the embossing roll is transferred to the multi-ply continuous sheet S 3  to perform embossing thereon. 
         [0230]    Furthermore, as for a position of the embossing unit  60 , it is also possible to provide the embossing unit  60  before the chemicals applying unit  53  as long as provided at the post stage of the multi-ply forming unit  51 , as illustrated in  FIG. 10 . However, the chemicals applied after the embossing process is likely to make the shape of emboss pattern to be lost. For this reason, the position of  FIG. 9  is desirable in which the embossing unit is provided at the post stage of the multi-ply forming unit  51  and the post stage of the chemicals applying unit  53 . 
         [0231]    Meanwhile, the preferred embossing unit  60  of the present invention is steel-rubber type where, the embossing roll  61  is made of metal, and the nipping roll  62  is an elastic nipping roll configured so that at least the surface thereof is formed of an elastic member such as rubber. Such a steel-rubber type embossing unit can be appropriately used in the high-speed process in the ply machine X 2 . 
         [0232]    Shore hardness of the surface of the elastic nipping roll  62  is preferably 40 to 60°. Too low Shore hardness, that is, too soft elastic roll surface may cause paper breakage in the sheet or the paper sheet, which leads to a concern that the high-speed operation of the ply machine may be disturbed. Meanwhile, too high Shore, that is, too rigid elastic roll surface leads to a concern that the embossing may not be performed. 
         [0233]    When embossing is performed on the multi-ply continuous sheet, the nipping pressure (also referred to as embossing pressure or linear pressure) is 5 to 30 kgf/cm and desirably, 10 to 25 kgf/cm. Too low nipping pressure leads to a concern that the sharp embossing effect may not be sufficiently exhibited. Meanwhile, too high embossing pressure leads to a concern that sanitary tissue paper to be processed may be torn. 
         [0234]    In the present invention, the embossing pattern, the embossing depth, the embossing density, the individual embossing shape forming the embossing, and the embossing area are not particularly limited. However, exemplified are so-called micro embossing, in which embossing is performed on the entire sheet surface with the embossing density of 30 to 100 units/cm 2  and the embossing depth of 0.2 to 2.0 mm, and design embossing, in which a pattern is drawn with the embossing density of 0.1 to 10 units/cm 2  and the embossing depth of 0.3 to 2.5 mm. The micro embossing is particularly desirable. 
         [0235]    Here, in the embossing of the second embodiment, so-called single embossing is performed. That is, the embossing is performed so that embossing convex portions are pressed against only one surface of the multi-ply continuous sheet S 3 . Thus, in the multi-ply continuous sheet S 3 , which is subjected to the embossing, one surface is provided with only embossing concave portions corresponding to embossing convex portions, and the opposite surface is provided with only the embossing convex portions corresponding to the embossing concave portions. In a case of the single embossing, embossing is performed on the multi-ply continuous sheet S 3  with comparatively strong paper strength, and hence there is an excellent advantage that the ply machine X 3  may be operated at a high speed. Further, the single-sheets S 11  and S 12 , which are reeled from the primary paper rolls respectively so as to form the multi-ply continuous sheet S 3 , can be sufficiently multi-plied in a unified manner. 
         [0236]    Therefore, in the second embodiment, it is possible to avoid ply bonding mentioned in the first embodiment. By not doing the ply bonding, a manufacturing speed in the winder X 3  can be improved. 
       Third Embodiment: Double Embossing is Performed by Ply Machine 
       [0237]    Subsequently, the third embodiment of the present invention will be described by particularly referring to  FIG. 11 . The third embodiment is the same as the first embodiment except that so-called double embossing is performed on a multi-ply continuous sheet in the ply machine X 2 , and by employing this configuration, some requirements related thereto are caused, thus, the other matters are as stated before. Further, as for an embossing unit  60 , a structure in which the embossing is performed, conditions for embossing, and the like are the same as those of the second embodiment, and these matters are as stated before. 
         [0238]    Hereinafter, difference from the first embodiment and the second embodiment will be described in detail. The ply-machine X 2  according to the third embodiment illustrated in  FIG. 11  is sequentially provided with a multi-ply forming unit  51 , which performs multi-ply forming on single-sheets S 1  and S 12  from primary paper rolls so as to form a multi-ply continuous sheet, a chemicals applying unit  53 , which applies chemicals to the multi-ply continuous sheet S 2  from the multi-ply forming unit  51 , a ply-separating unit  57 , which separates the multi-ply continuous sheet S 3  applied with chemicals into respective continuous sheets S 13 , S 14  applied with the chemicals, embossing units  60 ,  60 , which perform embossing on the respective continuous sheets S 13 , S 14  separated by the ply-separating unit  57 , and a re-multi-ply forming unit  58 , which performs re-multi-ply forming the respective continuous sheets S 13  and S 14  embossed by the embossing units  60 ,  60 , thereby chemicals applying, embossing on the respective continuous sheets, and the substantial multi-ply forming are performed in this order. 
         [0239]    In the embodiment, in the re-multi-ply forming process by the re-multi-ply forming unit  58 , it is desirable to perform multi-ply forming on the respective continuous sheets S 13  and S 14  so that the surfaces contacting the embossing rolls of the respective embossing units  60 ,  60 , that is, the surfaces to have the embossing concave portions become the outer surfaces of the multi-ply continuous sheet and the embossing convex surfaces face each other. By doing so, there is an advantage that an air gap is formed between the respective continuous sheets after the multi-ply forming so that a fluffy multi-ply continuous sheet can be obtained. 
         [0240]    Furthermore, in the third embodiment, as illustrated in  FIG. 12 , by the ply machine X 2 , where the ply-separating unit  57  is provided at the previous stage of the chemicals applying unit  53  so that the chemicals applying and the embossing may be performed on the respective continuous sheets S 13 , S 14 , which have been separated from each other from the plied state and after that, re-multi-ply forming is performed on the respective continuous sheets S 13 , S 14  by the re-multi-ply forming unit  58 . In this case, after re-multi-ply forming in the re-multi-ply forming unit  58 , it is preferable that the chemicals are applied to one surface of the surfaces forming the respective outer surfaces of the multi-ply continuous sheet S 13  and S 14 . Since the chemicals are applied to one surface, it is possible to reduce degradation in paper strength caused by the application of the chemicals. 
         [0241]    Furthermore, in the examples illustrated in  FIGS. 11 and 12 , the respective embossing units  60 ,  60  are arranged at the post stages of the chemicals applying unit  53 , but the ply-separating unit  57  and the embossing units  60  and  60  may be disposed at the previous stage of the chemicals applying unit  53 . Further, the multi-ply continuous sheet applied with the chemicals may be obtained in a manner such that the chemicals applying and the embossing are performed without performing multi-ply forming on the single-sheets from the primary paper rolls in the multi-ply forming unit  51 , that is, re-multi-ply forming unit  58  is used for the first multi-ply forming step so as to obtain a multi-ply continuous sheet applied with the chemicals. 
         [0242]    However, the chemicals applying performed after the embossing makes easily the embossing shape to be lost. For this reason, in the double embossing type of the third embodiment, as illustrated in  FIGS. 11 and 12 , it is desirable to dispose the embossing unit  60  at the previous stage of the re-multi-ply forming unit  58  and at the post stage of the chemicals applying unit  53 . 
         [0243]    In the third embodiment, it is desirable to perform the ply bonding in the ply machine, the winder. 
         [0244]    It should be noted that, in the third embodiment, the re-multi-ply forming unit  58  serves as the multi-ply forming unit, because it performs the substantial multi-ply forming in the ply machine X 2 . 
       Fourth Embodiment: Single Embossing is Performed by Winder 
       [0245]    Subsequently, the fourth embodiment of the present invention will be described by particularly referring to  FIG. 13 . Furthermore, in the embodiment, so-called single embossing is performed in a winder X 3 . The embodiment is the same as the first embodiment except that the single embossing is performed in the winder X 3  and by employing this configuration, some requirements related thereto are caused, thus, the other matters are as stated before. Further, as for an embossing unit, a structure in which the embossing is performed, conditions for embossing, and the like are the same as those of the second embodiment, and these matters are as stated before. 
         [0246]    In the fourth embodiment, a multi-ply-sheet S 4  from a secondary paper roll applied with chemicals in the winder X 3  is reeled out, and is embossed at the previous stage of the perforation line applying unit  70 . 
         [0247]    In the fourth embodiment, the chemicals are applied, and then, the embossing is performed on the multi-ply-sheet S 4  from the secondary paper roll, which was wound once by the secondary paper roll and, after that, has been reeled out from the secondary paper roll. For this reason, since the chemicals sufficiently diffuse inside the multi-ply-sheet S 4  from the secondary paper roll, it is possible to improve the speed and to perform the stable manufacturing process by reducing the concern of paper breakage in the perforation line applying unit. Furthermore, it is possible to perform the clear embossing in the embossing unit. 
       Fifth Embodiment: Double Embossing is Performed by Winder 
       [0248]    Subsequently, the fifth embodiment of the present invention will be described by particularly referring to  FIG. 14 . Furthermore, in the embodiment, so-called double embossing is performed in a winder X 3 . The embodiment is the same as the first embodiment except that the double embossing is performed in the winder and by employing this configuration, some requirements related thereto are caused, thus, the other matters are as stated before. Further, as for an embossing unit, a configuration the embossing is performed, embossing conditions, and the like are the same as those of the second embodiment, and these matters are stated above. 
         [0249]    The winder X 3  of the fifth embodiment is sequentially provided with a ply-separating unit  57 , embossing units  60 ,  60 , and a re-multi-ply forming unit  58  at the previous stage of the perforation line applying unit  70  in this order. Then, a multi-ply-sheet S 4  from a secondary paper roll applied with chemicals is reeled out, after that, the multi-ply-sheet S 4  from the secondary paper roll is once separated into plural continuous sheets S 13  and S 14  from plied state by the ply-separating unit  57 , the embossing is performed on the respective continuous sheets in embossing unit  60 ,  60  at the previous stage of the perforation line applying unit  70 , and then the respective continuous sheets are re-multi-plied in the re-multi-ply forming unit  58 . 
         [0250]    In the fifth embodiment, as in the third embodiment, the chemicals are applied, and then, the embossing is performed on the multi-ply-sheet S 4  (S 13 , S 14 ) from the secondary paper roll, which was once wound by the secondary paper roll and, after that, has been reeled out from the secondary paper roll. For this reason, since the chemicals sufficiently diffuse inside the multi-ply-sheet S 4  (S 13 , S 14 ) from the secondary paper roll, it is possible to improve the speed and to perform the stable manufacturing process by reducing the concern of paper breakage in the perforation line applying unit. Furthermore, it is possible to perform the clear embossing in the embossing unit. 
         [0251]    In the embodiment, it is desirable to provide the ply bonding unit  54  at the post stage of the re-multi-ply forming unit  58  and the previous stage of the perforation line applying unit  70 , in order to prevent the ply-peeling by performing the ply bonding at such a stage. 
       Sixth Embodiment: Double Embossing is Performed by Winder 
       [0252]    Subsequently, the sixth embodiment of the present invention will be described by particularly referring to  FIGS. 30 and 31 . In the embodiment, the secondary paper roll is manufactured by winding a single layered continuous sheet from a primary paper roll without operation of multi-ply forming unit in the ply machine X 2 , so that plurality of secondary paper rolls manufactured by winding primary single layered paper rolls are set in the winder X 3 , where the multi-ply-sheets from the secondary paper rolls reeled out from the respective secondary paper rolls are multi-plied. It is possible to prevent the operation of the multi-ply forming unit in the ply machine X 2 , by reeled out the single layered continuous sheet from the just one primary paper roll. The embodiment is the same as the first embodiment except that the multi-ply forming is not performed, thus, the other matters are as stated before. 
         [0253]    In the configuration illustrated in the drawings, the winder X 3  is sequentially provided with an embossing unit  60 , a multi-ply forming unit  58 , and a perforation line applying unit in this order. Then, the single layered sheets from the respective secondary paper rolls applied with the chemicals in the ply machine X 2  are reeled out from the respective secondary paper rolls in the winder, and then, the respective single layered sheets S 4  and S 4  from the secondary paper rolls are embossed by the embossing unit, and multi-plied. 
         [0254]    That is, in the configuration illustrated in the drawings, the single layered sheet from the secondary paper roll is formed in the ply machine X 2  of the fifth embodiment, after that, the plurality of secondary paper rolls are set in the winder X 3  of this embodiment, while a ply-separating unit  57  is not provided. Also in the sixth embodiment illustrated in the drawings, the same operation and effect as those of the fifth embodiment are obtained. Furthermore, in the embodiment, it is preferable that a ply bonding unit  154  is provided at the post stage of the multi-ply forming unit  58  and at the previous stage of the perforation line applying unit  70  in order to prevent the ply-separating due to ply bonding at such a stage. 
         [0255]    Meanwhile, although not illustrated, as another example of the sixth embodiment, a configuration may be employed, in which the multi-ply forming unit is provided at the previous stage of the embossing unit and single embossing is performed on the multi-ply continuous sheet by the embossing unit. Additionally, as further another example, a configuration can be proposed in which embossing is not performed. 
         [0256]    Furthermore, the specific configuration of the multi-ply forming unit  58  in the winder is not largely different from the specific configuration of the multi-ply forming unit of the ply machine X 2 . The configuration described for the ply machine X 2  of the first embodiment can be employed here. Further, as for an embossing unit, a configuration the embossing is performed, embossing conditions, and the like are the same as those of the second embodiment, and these matters are stated above. 
         [0257]    “Specific Example of Chemicals Applying Unit in Ply Machine” 
         [0258]    The specific example of the chemicals applying unit (the chemicals applying process)  53  of the ply machine X 2 , which is common in all embodiments from the first to the sixth, will be described closely below. 
         [0259]    [Flexographic Printing] 
         [0260]    An example, which uses a flexographic printer as a chemicals applying unit  53 , is illustrated in  FIGS. 15 to 21 . Since a resinous and elastic printing plate cylinder is used in the flexographic printing, somewhat uneven crape of each surface of a multi-ply continuous sheet S 2  or of a respective continuous sheet S 13 , S 14  (hereinafter, referred to as a unit multi-ply continuous sheet S 2  or the like) can be controlled by adjusting a printing pressure, achieving uniform application. Moreover, even in rapid application of 500 m/minute or more, further of 700 m/minute, a multi-ply continuous sheet S 3  or the like, which has been applied with chemicals, is unlikely to be wrinkled. Further, it is possible to handle a wide range of viscosity of the chemicals with only one roll. Accordingly, there is an advantage in management and facility maintenance, and also in enhancement of productivity. 
         [0261]    Here, in a case where the chemicals are applied onto the multi-ply continuous sheet S 2  or the like at a high speed in the ply machine X 2 , line count of a flexographic printing plate cylinder is 5 to 60, preferably 10 to 40, and more preferably 15 to 35. The line count of smaller than 5 causes a lot of unevenness of application. Meanwhile, the line count of more than 60 causes clogging due to paper dust. 
         [0262]    Line count of an anilox roll is 10 to 300, preferably 25 to 200, and more preferably 50 to 100. Line count of smaller than 10 causes a lot of unevenness in application at a high speed. Meanwhile, the line numbers of more than 300 causes easily clogging due to paper dust. The cell volume of the anilox roll is 10 to 100 cc, preferably 15 to 70 cc, and more preferably 30 to 60 cc. The cell volume of smaller than 10 cc makes it impossible to apply a required amount of chemicals. Meanwhile, the cell volume of more than 100 cc causes an increased amount of scattered chemicals. 
         [0263]    Here, in the present invention, it is important that the chemicals can be stably applied in a chemicals applying process. Accordingly, the line count of the printing plate cylinder and that of the anilox roll are important, because they are related to stable operation. Furthermore, as a method for delivering chemicals stored in a storage tank to the anilox roll, an appropriate method such as a doctor chamber type or a touch roll type is employed. Examples which employ the respective type of the flexographic printing will be described in detail below. 
         [0264]    (Example of Doctor Chamber Type) 
         [0265]    An example in which the doctor chamber type flexographic printing is applied to the present invention will be described by particularly referring to  FIGS. 15 to 20 . 
         [0266]    In this example, two flexographic printers  91 A and  91 B are used to apply the chemicals onto the front and rear surfaces of the multi-ply continuous sheet S 2  or the respective continuous sheets S 13  and S 14 . 
         [0267]    In the respective printers  91 A,  91 B, doctor chambers  92 A,  92 B, which includes the chemicals therein are disposed to face rotatable anilox rolls  93 A,  93 B, and the chemicals are delivered from the doctor chambers  92 A and  92 B to the anilox rolls  93 A and  93 B. Further, printing plate cylinders  94 A and  94 B, which contact the anilox rolls  93 A and  93 B and contact also one surface of the multi-ply continuous sheet S 2  or the like, are provided so as to be rotatable, and the chemicals are delivered from the anilox rolls  93 A and  93 B to the printing plate cylinders  94 A and  94 B. Then, pressure is applied to the multi-ply continuous sheet S 2  or the like by the elastic rolls  95 A and  95 B with the printing plate cylinders  94 A and  94 B while the multi-ply continuous sheet S 2  or the like is interposed therebetween so that the chemicals are applied from the printing plate cylinder  95 A and  95 B to the multi-ply continuous sheet S 2  or the like. 
         [0268]    The respective doctor chambers  92 A and  92 B are connected to a storage tank  98 , which stores the chemicals L through a supply hose  96  and a return hose  97 , so as to form a part of a chemicals circulation path (hereinafter, like an expression of “doctor chamber  91 A ( 91 B)”, one of two is sometimes inserted in parentheses for describing the same configuration of the respective printers  91 A and  91 B). Furthermore, the storage tank  98  can be commonly used for the respective doctor chambers  92 A and  92 B. Although not illustrated, it is possible to provide a filtering device for paper dust or air included in the chemicals circulating the chemicals circulation path, as well as an inter tank and a pipe heater, which monitor and control temperature of the chemicals inside an application device such as the doctor chambers  92 A and  92 B and the like in order to keep viscosity of the chemicals to be stable. 
         [0269]    The chemicals are pressed from the storage tank  98  into the doctor chamber  91 A ( 91 B) by a supply pump  99  through the supply hose  96 , and the extrusion amount (flow rate) of the chemicals is adjusted by the opening and closing of an adjustment valve  100 . Further, the chemicals are returned from the doctor chamber  91 A ( 91 B) to the storage tank  98  by a suction pump  101  through the return hose  97 . 
         [0270]    Further, the doctor chamber  91 A ( 91 B) includes a chamber portion  102 , which stores the chemicals, and blades  103  and  104 . The chamber portion  102  is connected to the supply hose  96  and the return hose  97  through connection portions  105  and  106 , while an anilox roll  93 A ( 93 B)-side end of the chamber portion is open. Then, the chamber portion stores the chemicals L during the chemicals circulation through the respective hoses  96  and  97 , and supplies the chemicals to the anilox roll  93 A ( 93 B). Meanwhile, the blades  103  and  104  are provided so as to abut against the anilox roll  93 A ( 93 B), and squeeze the chemicals L while being pressed against the anilox roll  93 A ( 93 B) so as to keep constant supply of the chemicals to the anilox roll  93 A ( 93 B). 
         [0271]    Meanwhile, as illustrated in  FIG. 17 , an aperture  106   a  as an opening with a predetermined diameter is formed in an upper surface of a connection portion  106  between the chamber portion  102  and the return hose  97  used for a return path of the chemicals L, and the chemicals L inside the connection portion are exposed to open air through the aperture  106   a . By doing so, even when the chemicals L are suctioned by the suction pump  101 , it is possible to adjust internal pressure inside the chamber portion  102  to be around external air pressure. Accordingly, fluctuation in the internal pressure of the doctor chamber can be suppressed. Not being limited to this, it is possible to form the aperture  106   a  in for example, the upper surface of the chamber portion  102  as long as the fluctuation in the internal pressure of the chamber portion  102  is suppressed. The aperture  106   a  may be provided at the side surface as long as the aperture is positioned above the level of the chemicals L of the chamber portion  102 . 
         [0272]    Further, the aperture  106   a  is provided with a determining unit, which determines whether the chemicals are excessively supplied to the chamber portion  102 . As the determining unit, for example, a transparent or translucent tubular member  106   b  can be exemplified, which extends upward from a hole portion  106   a -side end as a lower end, and it is possible to visually determine whether the chemicals L flows into the tube  106   b  through the aperture during the chemicals L circulation. If the chemicals flow into the tube  106   b , it can be known that the amount of the chemicals stored in the chamber portion  102  is excessive (the chemicals L are excessively supplied to the anilox roll  91 A ( 91 B)). Accordingly, a user, who visually recognizes the above situation of excessive supply of the chemicals, can solve such situation by adjusting the extrusion amount (flow rate) of the chemicals L through, for example, operation of the adjustment valve  100 . Furthermore, since inside of the tube  106   b  is hollow and the upper end side thereof is exposed to open air, operational effect of the aperture  106   a  cannot be reversed with the above adjustment. 
         [0273]    Furthermore, if the upper end (free end) of the tube  106   b  is provided so as to face downward, foreign matter such as paper dust can be prevented from contaminating inside through the aperture  106   b . Alternatively, if an air filter is provided at the upper end of the tube  106   b  or at the aperture, foreign matter such as paper dust can be prevented from contaminating inside through the aperture  106   b.    
         [0274]    Furthermore, a situation of excessive supply of the chemicals L to the chamber portion  102  can be automatically c for notifying the user. 
         [0275]    In order to do this, in this example, as illustrated in  FIG. 18 , a sensor  106   d  is attached to a cylindrical portion  106   c  formed by extending the peripheral edge of the aperture  106   a  upward, and a notification unit notifies a result to the user after receiving signal from the sensor  106   d.    
         [0276]    The sensor  106   d  includes, for example, a light emitting element (not illustrated), which emits light toward a subject to be detected, and a light receiving element (not illustrated), which receives light from the subject to be detected, and detects whether the level of the chemicals L flowing into the cylindrical portion  106   c  reaches the level position (reference symbol y 1  illustrated in  FIG. 18 ), at which the sensor  106   d  is provided, on the basis of income of light received from reflected light by the light receiving element. 
         [0277]    The notification unit  106   e  is, for example, a speaker or the like, and notifies the result to the user in terms of a voice when the sensor  106   d  detects that the level of the chemicals L flowing into the cylindrical portion  106   c  reaches the level position at which the sensor  106   d  is provided. 
         [0278]    In this example, when the chemicals become excessive, the user may recognize it from the notification unit  106   e , and can solve the situation of excessive supply of the chemicals by adjusting the extrusion amount (flow rate) of the chemicals L by the operation of the adjustment valve  100 . 
         [0279]    Besides to such an automatic determination stated above, as illustrated in  FIG. 19 , it is also possible to determine whether the chemicals L are excessively supplied to the chamber portion  102  by using an adjustment unit  106   f , which is configured in a form of a needle valve with an orifice and a needle valve, and which is provided in the cylindrical portion  106   c  so as to adjust opening of a portion of the aperture  106   b  which is exposed to open air. In this way, by adjusting substantially the opening of the aperture  106   b  with the adjustment unit  106   f , it is possible to appropriately adjust the opening of the aperture  106   b  according to the fluctuation of internal pressure of the chamber portion  102 . Accordingly, when the sensor  103   e  detects a situation where the level position of the chemicals L flowing into the cylindrical portion  106   c  reaches the detection level position, this situation may be handled by adjusting the extrusion amount of the chemicals L, and the substantial opening of the aperture  106   b  is adjusted by the adjustment unit  106   f . Thus, when the level position of the chemicals L flowing into the cylindrical portion  106   c  reaches the detection level position, in addition to the above adjustment of extrusion amount of the chemicals L, it is possible to handle in improving air releasing ability of the aperture  106   b  (through increase of area exposed to open air) by substantially adjusting of opening of the aperture  106   b  with the adjustment unit  106   f  so that the fluctuation of internal pressure of chamber portion  102  can be suppressed. Accordingly, it is possible to appropriately prevent spout of the chemicals from the chamber portion  102  and suction of the chemicals L on the anilox roll  93 A ( 93 B) toward the doctor chamber  92 A ( 92 B), which would be caused by the fluctuation of internal pressure, and hence to promote the chemicals L circulation. Meanwhile, in the doctor chamber type flexographic printer, the anilox roll  93 A ( 93 B) is provided so as to abut against the blades  103  and  104  of the doctor chamber  92 A ( 92 B), and the chemicals L supplied from the opening of the chamber portion  102  of the doctor chamber  92 A ( 92 B) are absorbed to the peripheral surface thereof. 
         [0280]    The printing plate cylinder  94 A ( 94 B) is formed rotatably so that the peripheral surface thereof is formed of a resin material such as rubber in a columnar shape, while the peripheral surfaces of the left and right ends thereof (at the points P 1  and P 2  illustrated in  FIG. 4 ) abut against the peripheral surfaces of (the multi-ply continuous sheet S 2  wound on) the anilox roll  93 A ( 93 B) and the elastic roll  95 A ( 95 B). 
         [0281]    The printing plate cylinder  94 A ( 94 B) rotates in the direction r 2  along with the rotation of the elastic roll  95 A ( 95 B) in the direction r 1  so as to rotate the anilox roll  93 A ( 93 B) abutting against the right end thereof in the direction r 1 . The printing plate cylinder  94 A ( 94 B) acquires the chemicals L absorbed to the peripheral surface of the anilox roll  93 A ( 93 B) at the point P 2 , and conveys the chemicals to the point P 1  by the rotation in the direction r 2  so as to transfer the chemicals onto the multi-ply continuous sheet S 2  or the like. Even when the chemicals L absorbed by the anilox roll  93 A ( 93 B) non-uniformly remains on the peripheral surface of the anilox roll  93 A ( 93 B) in a laminar state, the chemicals L may be uniformly transferred to the multi-ply continuous sheet S 2  by conveying the chemicals to the peripheral surface of the printing plate cylinder  94 A ( 94 B). 
         [0282]    The elastic roll  95 A ( 95 B) is a columnar member that is provided so as to be adjacent to the printing plate cylinder  94 A ( 94 B), to rotate by a driving force applied from a motor or the like (not illustrated), and to hold the multi-ply continuous sheet S 2  at the peripheral surface thereof. For this reason, when the elastic roll  95 A ( 95 B) rotates in the direction r 1 , the elastic roll winds the multi-ply continuous sheet S 2  or the like on the peripheral surface thereof, while the printing plate cylinder  94 A ( 94 B) and the anilox roll  93 A ( 93 B) are rotated so that the chemicals L are transferred from the printing plate cylinder  94 A ( 94 B) just when the chemicals are conveyed to the point P 1 . 
         [0283]    Furthermore, the rotation direction of the elastic roll  95 A ( 95 B) is set as the direction r 1  in  FIG. 16 , but may be set as the direction r 2 . In this case, the anilox roll  93 A ( 93 B) and printing plate cylinder  94 A ( 94 B) rotate in a direction opposite to the direction of  FIG. 16  (that is, the anilox roll  93 A ( 93 B): the direction r 2  and the printing plate cylinder  94 A ( 94 B): the direction r 1 ). 
         [0284]    Here, in the example illustrated in  FIG. 16 , only one supply hose  96  and only one return hose  97  are connected to the chamber portion  102 . However, in order to uniformly diffuse the chemicals L in the width direction inside the chamber portion  102 , configurations illustrated in  FIGS. 20(A) to 20(C)  may be exemplified.  FIG. 20(A)  illustrates a configuration example in which the return hose  97  is connected to the center portion and the supply hoses  96  are respectively connected to the vicinities of the left and right ends in the width direction D of the doctor chamber  92 A ( 92 B) of which the outer frame is formed in a wide rectangular shape along the wide anilox roll  93 A ( 93 B) rotating about the rotation shaft R 0 .  FIG. 20(B)  illustrates a configuration example in which three supply hoses  96  and two return hoses  97  are alternately connected in the width direction D at the same interval.  FIG. 20(C)  illustrates a configuration example in which the supply hoses  96  are respectively connected to a plurality of positions at the upper side of the chamber portion  102  and the return hoses  97  are respectively connected to a plurality of positions at the lower side thereof. 
         [0285]    (Example of Two-Roll Transfer Type) 
         [0286]    Subsequently, an example of two-roll transfer type flexographic printing will be described by referring to  FIG. 21 . Also in this example, two flexographic printers  91 C and  91 D are used to apply the chemicals L onto the front and rear surfaces of the multi-ply continuous sheet S 2  or the like. In the respective printers  91 C,  91 D, dipping rolls  92 C and  92 D as rotatable squeezing rolls are dipped into chemicals tanks  98 C,  98 D which store the chemicals L therein, and the dipping rolls  92 C,  92 D contact anilox rolls  93 C,  93 D which are rotatable outside the chemicals tanks  98 C and  98 D. Accordingly, the chemicals amount is appropriately adjusted, and the thus adjusted chemicals are delivered to the anilox rolls  93 C and  93 D. This is called a two-roll transfer type in that the dipping rolls  92 C,  92 D are used to deliver the chemicals L to the anilox rolls  93 C,  93 D. Here, the dipping rolls  92 C and  92 D function to absorb the chemicals L from the chemicals tanks  98 C,  98 D and also to control excessive chemicals such that they are not directly delivered to the anilox rolls  93 C,  93 D as they are. 
         [0287]    The anilox rolls  93 C and  93 D contact the printing plate cylinders  94 C and  94 D, and the chemicals L transferred from the dipping rolls  92 C and  92 D are delivered to the printing plate cylinders  94 C and  94 D. The printing plate cylinders  94 C and  94 D are provided rotatably and contact the anilox rolls  93 C and  93 D while they contact one surface of the multi-ply continuous sheet S 2  or the like. Then, pressure is applied to the multi-ply continuous sheet S 2  or the like by the printing plate cylinders  94 A and  94 B with the elastic rolls  95 C and  95 D, while the multi-ply continuous sheet S 2  or the like is interposed therebetween so that the chemicals L are applied to the multi-ply continuous sheet S 2  or the like. 
         [0288]    In the two-roll transfer type, the anilox rolls  93 C and  93 D may be provided with a doctor blade. In this case, there is a merit that the chemicals L can be applied uniformly and scattering of the chemicals L from the anilox rolls  93 C and  93 D can be prevented. On the contrary, in application at a high speed, there is a demerit that the doctor blade should be maintained or replaced many times. 
         [0289]    Furthermore, although not illustrated, the chemicals tanks  98 C and  98 D may be provided with a filtering device for paper dust or air included in the chemicals, a pipe heater which monitors and controls the temperature of the chemicals to stabilize the viscosity of the chemicals, a sensor which monitors a moisture regain and an unevenness in the paper surface direction and is configured as an infrared detector for managing an amount of applied chemicals by the moisture regain of the multi-ply continuous sheet S 2  or the like in the width direction, and the like. 
         [0290]    (Example of One-Roll Transfer Type) 
         [0291]    Subsequently, an example of one-roll transfer type flexographic printing will be described. In this example, the dipping roll is omitted from the above-described two-roll transfer type (the drawing thereof is not illustrated). In this case, the anilox rolls are respectively dipped into the chemicals tanks while they are provided rotatably. Further, these anilox rolls are provided with doctor blades which scrape the chemicals on the surfaces of the anilox rolls. The flexographic one-roll transfer type has an advantage that the maintenance is comparatively easy or an advantage that the abrasion of the blade or the contamination of the foreign matter such as paper dust inside the chemicals may be easily checked visually. 
         [0292]    [Spray Application] 
         [0293]    An example in which spray application devices  110 ,  110  are used for the chemicals applying process (the chemicals applying unit)  53  will be described by referring to  FIGS. 22 to 26 . In the embodiment, as illustrated in  FIG. 22 , the spray application devices  110  and  110  are provided so as to apply the chemicals onto the front and rear surfaces of the multi-ply continuous sheet S 2  or the like. In order to realize this, as illustrated in  FIG. 10 , a configuration in which a paper run is designed so that the chemicals are sprayed to the front and rear surfaces of the multi-ply continuous sheet S 2  or the like from the lateral side, a configuration in which the chemicals are sprayed to the front and rear surfaces of the multi-ply continuous sheet S 2  or the like from the upper and lower sides, and a configuration in which a paper run is designed so that the chemicals are sprayed to the front and rear surfaces from the upper side may be exemplified. Of course, a configuration may be employed in which the multi-ply continuous sheet S 2  or the like is once ply-separated, the chemicals are sprayed to the respective continuous sheets, and the respective continuous sheets are multi-plied again. 
         [0294]    Furthermore, since the chemicals may easily scatter toward the periphery in the spray application, it is desirable to provide a hood  53 F, which covers the chemicals applying unit  53 , so as to prevent influences on the other processes. 
         [0295]    Specifically, the spray application may employ a nozzle spray type, a rotor dampening spraying type, or the like. As a spray nozzle in the nozzle spray type, exemplified are a hollow conical nozzle for spraying chemicals in an annular shape, a full-conical nozzle for spraying chemicals in a circular shape, a full-pyramid nozzle for spraying chemicals in a square shape, a full-rectangular nozzle, a fan-like nozzle, and the like. In order to uniformly spray the chemicals with respect to the width direction of the multi-ply-sheet from the secondary paper roll, nozzle diameter, number of nozzles, nozzle arrangement pattern, and number of arranged nozzles may be appropriately selected. Alternatively, spraying distance, spraying pressure, spraying angle, or concentration and the viscosity of the spraying liquid may be appropriately selected. 
         [0296]    Further, as an atomizing method by a nozzle spraying device, two kinds of types, that is, a one-fluid type or a two-fluid type may be selected for use. Among these types: in one-fluid spraying type, mist drips are sprayed from a nozzle by directly pressurizing chemicals to be sprayed using compressed air; or mist drips are sprayed from a microscopic hole formed on the side surface of the nozzle in the vicinity of an ejection port. Further, as the two-fluid spraying type, exemplified are: an internal mixing type where inside of the nozzle, compressed air is mixed with liquid to be sprayed and the mixture is atomized for spraying; an external mixing type where outside of the nozzle, sprayed compressed air is mixed with sprayed liquid so as to be atomized; and a collision type where atomized mist drip particles are collided mutually for further homogenizing and atomizing; and the like. 
         [0297]    Meanwhile, in a rotor dampening spraying type, a spraying liquid is discharged onto a disk rotating at a high speed and atomized so as to be fine mist drip particles by a centrifugal force of the disk. Here, a diameter of the mist drip particle is controlled by changing a rotation speed of the disk and an amount of sprayed liquid (an amount of applied liquid) is controlled by changing an amount of liquid discharged onto the disk. A rotor dampening application device has advantages that a small amount of the sprayed liquid can be uniformly applied onto a surface of paper to be pigment-applied, while scattering of the mist drip particles is suppressed and a spraying speed, a diameter of mist drip particle and the like can be easily controlled. 
         [0298]    In order to uniformly spray the chemicals to the surface of the multi-ply continuous sheet S 2  or the like, it is desirable to micronize the diameter of the mist drip particle of the chemicals as small as possible. However, when the mist drips are micronized too much, the mist drip particles are washed away by bounce of the sprayed air or accompanied air on the surface of the multi-ply continuous sheet S 2  or the like, and hence mist drips are unlikely to adhere to the surface of the multi-ply continuous sheet S 2  or the like. For this reason, in a case of spray application, a spraying distance, a spraying pressure, a spraying angle, and a spraying speed can be adjusted so that a diameter of the mist drop particle can be adapted to meet application conditions. Additionally, in a case of the two-fluid type, a mixing ratio of the chemicals to be sprayed to compressed air, concentration or viscosity of the chemicals, and the like can be appropriately adjusted too. Further, if influence by the accompanied air is large in spraying, in order to remove the accompanied air, a suctioning device, a baffle (baffle plate), the above-described hood, or a charging electrode (an electrostatic spraying), which applies a high voltage to a tip of a spraying nozzle to charge mist drip particles for improving ability of adhering to paper to be applied with pigment. The mist drip particles, which are not applied onto the surface of the multi-ply-sheet from the secondary paper roll and float as mist can be collected for re-spraying. 
         [0299]      FIG. 24  illustrates a chemicals spraying device  110  of a nozzle spray type, that is, a two-fluid type. In this device  110 , a chemicals passage  110 A is formed at the center thereof and an air passage  110 B is formed at the periphery thereof. Accordingly, the chemicals L ejected from the tip of the chemicals passage  110 A are atomized by air ejected from the air passage  110 B, and the chemicals L are sprayed in a substantially conical shape. An external protection casing  110 C is provided so as to protect the nozzle against paper dust or the like and so as to clean the nozzle by air passing through a purging air passage if necessary. One or plural chemicals spraying device  110  of this kind can be provided and in case of plural devices, they are spaced in the width direction of the multi-ply continuous sheet S 2  at intervals. 
         [0300]    As described above, since the mist drips are washed away by scattered chemicals or the accompanied air on the surface of the multi-ply continuous sheet, the mist drips are unlikely to adhere to the surface of the multi-ply continuous sheet S 2  or the like. For this reason, as illustrated in  FIG. 25 , the chemicals may be appropriately applied onto the multi-ply continuous sheet S 2  or the like by surrounding the chemicals sprayed from the chemicals spraying unit (the spraying nozzle) by air  110 G ejected from an air supply path formed in a casing  153 E from the periphery of the chemicals spraying unit (the spraying nozzle) of the one-fluid type or the two-fluid type. 
         [0301]      FIG. 26  is an example of a rotor dampening spraying device  120 . In the rotor dampening spraying device  120 , a fluid chamber  120 B with an ejection portion  120 C rotates at a high speed so as to deliver chemicals L into the fluid chamber  120 B, and the chemicals inside the fluid chamber are discharged from the ejection portion  120 C by a centrifugal force so that the chemicals are atomized. A diameter of a mist drip particle is controlled by changing a rotation speed of the fluid chamber  120 B, and an amount of sprayed liquid (amount of applied liquid) is controlled by changing an amount of charged liquid to the fluid chamber. The rotor dampening spraying device has an advantage that a small amount of the sprayed liquid can be uniformly applied onto the surface of a sheet while scattering of mist drips is suppressed and a spraying speed or the diameter of the mist drop particle can be easily controlled. 
         [0302]    In the rotor dampening device  120  of the example illustrated in the drawing, it is preferable that a shutter  120 E for opening or closing an ejection port  120 D is provided, and due to this shutter  120 E, execution of spraying can be controlled by the opening or closing thereof. 
         [0303]    [Inkjet Printing] 
         [0304]    An example in which an inkjet printer  130  is used in the chemicals applying process (the chemicals applying unit)  53  will be described by referring to  FIGS. 27 and 28 . The inkjet printer  130  of the embodiment has a configuration in which a tank (not illustrated) storing the chemicals L is connected to an inkjet head  132  through a supply path  131 , and water-based chemicals are supplied from the tank to the inkjet head  132  by a supply pump (not illustrated). 
         [0305]    In a portion of the inkjet head  132  facing the multi-ply continuous sheet S 2  or the like as a material to be applied, a nozzle plate  133  with a plurality of nozzle holes  134  arranged in a straight line is disposed so as to correspond to at least the width of the multi-ply continuous sheet S 2  or the like. 
         [0306]    Here, a gap from the nozzle holes  134  to the multi-ply continuous sheet S 2  or the like is preferably 1 to 10 mm and more preferably 1 to 3 mm. In the inkjet printing type, since an amount of liquid droplets ejected from each nozzle hole  134  is extremely small, the liquid droplets tend to be influenced by surrounding airflow. However, when the gap is 1 to 10 mm and more preferably 1 to 3 mm, such influence is remarkably reduced. In a common full color printer, a gap between a paper sheet and a nozzle is 1 to 1.5 mm. Since human eye is sensitive to a difference in brightness or gradation, accuracy of dot position needs to be within several μmeters in order to obtain a sufficient color expression by subtractive color mixing of four to six colors. However, in application of water-based chemicals of the present invention, it is possible to obtain a sufficiently uniform application quality even with accuracy of the dot position of 100 μm or less. 
         [0307]    Then, a plurality of ejection units  135  are disposed so as to correspond to the respective nozzle holes inside the inkjet head  132 , and each ejection unit  135  includes a fluid chamber  136 , which temporarily stores the water-based chemicals to be injected from the nozzle hole  134 ; a vibration plate  137 , which is provided so as to face the nozzle plate  133  through the fluid chamber  136  interposed therebetween; and a piezoelectric element (not illustrated), which is disposed outside the fluid chamber  136  so as to abut against the vibration plate  137 . 
         [0308]    A control device  138  is connected to the piezoelectric element through a wiring, and a voltage is applied from the control device  138  to the piezoelectric element at a predetermined interval. 
         [0309]    By such a structure, the water-based chemicals supplied from the tank to the inkjet head  132  are delivered into the fluid chamber  136  disposed so as to correspond to each nozzle hole  134 . Then, when the control device  138  applies a voltage to the piezoelectric element if necessary, the water-based chemicals are sprayed from the respective nozzle holes  134  at the same time. Accordingly, the chemicals are applied to one surface of the multi-ply continuous sheet S 2  or the like in the entire width thereof. 
         [0310]    Further, pressurized air  135  is delivered into the inkjet head  132  of the embodiment, and the liquid droplets ejected from the ejection unit  135  are directed toward the sheet S 3  by the pressurized air from the nozzle hole  134 . Accordingly, blocking of paper dust in the nozzle hole can be prevented. 
         [0311]    Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment, a configuration, which uses an On Demand type piezoelectric element as an inkjet type, has been described, but a thermal jet type may be employed. Further, a continuous type ejection device capable of continuously ejecting the chemicals may be employed instead of the On Demand type. However, the On Demand type based on the electronic control is desirable, because an amount of applied liquid can be adjusted in the width direction and in the flow direction in the On Demand type. 
         [0312]    Here, in the embodiment, as desirable conditions in a case of applying the chemicals by employing the inkjet printing type, there are particle speed of the ink droplet from the nozzle hole of about 5 to 20 m/second and volume of one ink droplet of 5 to 50 pl. 
         [0313]    Further, it is desirable to apply the ink droplet at intervals of 20 to 200 μm in the flow direction and the width direction. Thus, uniform application can be attained even if there is increase and decrease of an amount of applied chemicals. The nozzle interval in the width direction is set to be 128 to 1080 dpi (5 to 42 lines/mm, 128 dpi×1 stage to 360 dpi×3 stages). As an example, when a processing speed is 250 m/minute, under assumption of a particle speed of an ink droplet of 10 m/second, a volume of one ink droplet of 10 pl, a nozzle interval in the width direction is 1080 dpi, inkjet ejection frequency is about 5×10 4  dots/second/line. 
         [0314]    [Curtain Coating] 
         [0315]    An example in which a curtain coater  150  is used as a chemicals applying process (chemicals applying unit)  53  will be described. As the curtain coater  150 , for example, a conventional and known curtain coater illustrated in  FIG. 29  may be used. Furthermore, in a case of applying front and rear surfaces of a multi-ply-sheet S 2  or the like, it is necessary to design paper running such that the front and rear surfaces of the multi-ply-sheet S 2  are positioned at the upper side, because curtain film of chemicals is hanged by the curtain coating. 
         [0316]    In the curtain coater  150  illustrated in  FIG. 29 , the previously prepared chemicals L are sent from a chemicals storage tank to a coater head  151  by a liquid supply pump or the like. Inside of the coater head  151  includes a manifold  151   a  and a slit  151   b , which are precisely finished. When supplied quasi-adhesive is charged into the manifold  151   a  and is further sent to the slit  151   b , influence of dynamic pressure caused by liquid sent with a liquid supply pump is reduced in a narrow gap through which the quasi-adhesive passes. Accordingly, pressure distribution in the width direction becomes uniform, and the quasi-adhesive flows out of a lip  152 , so that a vertical curtain film  153 L is formed. 
         [0317]    The vertical curtain film  153 L with uniform profile in the width direction contacts the multi-ply-sheet S 2  from the secondary paper roll or the like, which runs continuously, and is applied onto the multi-ply-sheet S 2  from the secondary paper roll or the like. Here, edge guides  154  are provided so as not to exceed the width of the coater head  151  and so as to exceed the width of the multi-ply-sheet S 4  from the secondary paper roll or the like, and the vertical curtain film is formed so as to exceed the width of the multi-ply-sheet S 4  from the secondary paper roll or the like. The vertical curtain film  153 L is formed so as to exceed the width of the multi-ply-sheet S 2  from the secondary paper roll in order to prevent thick application of the chemicals L at both ends of the vertical curtain film  153 L. The chemicals L which flow down while exceeding the width of the multi-ply-sheet S 4  from the secondary paper roll or the like is collected to a liquid receiving tank  155  and is returned to the chemicals storage tank for re-application. Further, this unit is configured such that even when the application is stopped due to paper breakage of the single-sheet S 2  from the secondary paper roll or the like, the chemicals L can be collected to the liquid receiving tank  155 . 
         [0318]    A contact portion (hereinafter, referred to as an application portion) of the vertical curtain film  153 L to the multi-ply-sheet S 2  from the secondary paper roll or the like, which runs continuously, is provided with a wind shielding plate  156 , which shields air flow accompanied by the multi-ply-sheet S 2  from the secondary paper roll or the like so that the vertical curtain film  153 L flows to the multi-ply-sheet S 2  from the secondary paper roll or the like without being disturbed by the air flow or the like around the curtain. Further, the conveying direction of the multi-ply-sheet S 2  from the secondary paper roll or the like is changed by a roll  157  immediately before the application portion so as to minimize influence on the application portion by companied air with the multi-ply-sheet S 2  from the secondary paper roll or the like. Furthermore, in order to perform the stable application, a certain height is required from the multi-ply-sheet S 2  from the secondary paper roll or the like to the lower outflow portion of the coater head  151 , but the height appropriate for the stable application is 60 to 300 mm, desirably 100 to 250 mm, and more desirably 120 to 180 mm.
