Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to methods and apparatuses for mechanically bonding substrates together. The apparatuses may include a pattern roll including a pattern element protruding radially outward. The pattern element includes a pattern surface and includes one or more channels adjacent the pattern surface. The pattern roll may be positioned adjacent an anvil roll to define a nip between the pattern surface and the anvil roll, wherein the pattern roll is biased toward the anvil roll to define a nip pressure between pattern surface and the anvil roll. As substrates advance between the pattern roll and anvil roll, the substrates are compressed between the anvil roll and the pattern surface to form a discrete bond region between the first and second substrates. As such, during the bonding process, some yielded substrate material flows from under the pattern surface and into the channel to form a channel grommet region.

Claim (Index 15):
A laminate comprising:\n a first substrate; a second substrate; a discrete bond between the first substrate and the second substrate, the discrete bond including a first region having a first basis weight, a second region having a second basis weight, and a third region having a third basis weight, wherein a ratio of the second basis weight to the first basis weight is greater than one; and wherein a ratio of the third basis weight to the first basis weight is greater than one; and wherein the second region defines a perimeter of the discrete bond, the perimeter surrounding a central region of the discrete bond; and wherein the first region and the second region are located in the central region.
