FIRMNESS| BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION In the manufacture of tissue produets such as bath tissue, ‘wide variety of proshict characteristics must be given attention in order to provide a final product with the appro- priate blend of atibutes suitable forthe product's intended puspeses. Inproving the softness of tissues is cootiauing ‘objective in tissue’ manufacture, especially for premium products, Soliness, however, is’ perceived property of tissues comprising many factors including’ thickness, ‘smoothness, and fuzziness. ‘To date, in many applications two-ply tissues generally have achieved improved sofiness over one:ply” tissues. However, in terms of manufacturing economy, millple-ply products ate typically more expeasive to produce than Single-ply products. Thus, a need exists for a single-ply tissue product with high bulk and soliness while retaining smoothness a sitength Traditionally, tissue products have been made using a \wet-pressing process in Which a significant amount of water isremoved rom a web we by pring he web rior fo final drying. In one embodiment, for instance, while sup- ported by an absorbent papermaking felt, the web is ‘squeezed between the felt and the sure of @ rotating, heated eylindcr (Yankee deyer) using a pressice roll as the ‘web is ransferred tothe surface of the Yankee dryer for final drying. The dried web is thereafter dislodged trom the ‘Yankee dryer with a doctor blade (creping), which serves 10 partially debood the dried web by breaking many of the bonds previously formed during the wet-pressing stages of the process, Creping generally improves the sofiness of the ‘web, albeit a the expense of a loss in strength Recently, throughdrying has increased in popularity as a means of drying tissie webs. Throughdrying provides. @ felatively noacompressive method of removing Water from the web by passing hot air though the web until itis dry. More specifically, wel-laid web is transferred from the forming fabric o 4 coarse, highly permeable throughlying fabric and retained on the throughdrying fabric uni it sat Jeast almost completely dry. "The resulting dried web is softer and bulkier than a wet-pressed sheet because fewer papet- making bonds are formed and because the we isles dense. Squeezing water from the wet web is eliminated, although ‘subsequent transfer ofthe web toa Yankee dryer for eeping §s sil often used to final dry and/or soften the resulting Even more recently, significant advances have been made in high bulk shets as disclosed in U.S, Pat. Nos, 5,607,551; 5,774; 5,656,132; 5,932,068; and 6,171,442, which are all incorporated herein by rlerence. These patents disclose Soft throughedred tissues made without the use of a Yankee dryer. The typical Yankee functions of building machine ‘itecton and eoss-machine direction stretch are replaced by ‘a we-end rush transfer and the throughdying Fabri design, respectively. ‘When te single ply tse products, however, are formed into. rolled procuc, the base sheets tend to lose a noticeable amount of bulk die t0 the compressive forces tat are ‘exerted on the base web during winding and converting. AS ‘such, a need currently exisls for a prowess for prodicing a Single ply tissue product that has both sofiness and ball When spirally wold into roll, More particularly, a need % o 2 exists for a spirally wound product that ean maintain a Significant amount of roll bulk and sheet sofiness even when the product is wound under tension to produce a roll having consumer desired Rmaness. Definitions ‘A issue produet as described inthis invention is meant to include paper products made from base webs such as bath tissues, ficial tssves, paper towels, industrial wipers, food- service wipers, napkins, medical pads, and oer similse products Roll Bulk is the volume of paper divided by its mass on the wound rll. Roll Bulk is calculated by exuliplying pi G.142) by the quantity obtained by calculating the eller nce of the roll diameter squared ia em squared (¢m*) and the outer ore diameter squared in em squared (em) divided by 4 multiplied by the sheet length ia em multiplied by the sheet count multiplied by the bone dry Basis Weight of the sheet in grams (a) divided by em squared (em) Roll Buk in colg=3.142x(Roll Diameter squared in em ‘outer Core Diameter squared in em:)(ExSheet legit in femxglem) of Roll Bulk in ce/ge0.785x(Roll Diamet squared in em-outer Core Diameter squared in em*) (Sheet length in emxgiem") For various rolled procics ofthis invention, the bulk of the sheet of the roll canbe about 11.5 cube centimeters per gram or greater, preferably about 12 cubie centimeters per ‘gram or greater, more preferably about 13 centimeters per ‘gram or greater, and even more prelerably about 14 cent meters per gram or greater. ‘Geometric mean tensile sirength (GMT) is the square oo! ‘of the product ofthe machine dieection tensile srength and the emsemachine direction tensile strength of the web. jeometric tensile strengths are measured using.
