Articles, for example multi-ply fibrous structure-containing articles such as multi-ply sanitary tissue products, containing two or more fibrous structure plies, wherein at least one of the fibrous structure plies is embossed and is bonded to at least one other fibrous structure ply by a water-resistant bond such that void volume is created between the bonded fibrous structure plies.

An embossing seal has a base, a die assembly disposed in the base, a driven shaft assembly movably disposed in the base, and a pressing handle pivotally disposed on the base for driving the driven shaft assembly. The driven shaft assembly has a lower shaft, an upper shaft, a cushion spring, and a restoring spring. The lower shaft is movably disposed in a shaft tube of the base. The upper shaft is movably disposed in the lower shaft. The cushion spring and the restoring spring are coaxially disposed around the upper shaft. Two ends of the cushion spring respectively abut against the upper shaft and the lower shaft. Two ends of the restoring spring respectively abut against the upper shaft and the shaft tube. Structure of the base and structure of the driven shaft assembly are simplified. The embossing seal is restored accurately and quickly.

Provided are a post-processing apparatus, an image forming apparatus, and a post-processing method capable of avoiding the occurrence of a malfunction due to a failure to discharge a sheet bundle after a binding process. A plurality of sheets is loaded on a stack tray. A staple unit binds the plurality of sheets. A discharge roller discharges the sheet bundle bound by the staple unit from the stack tray. Each time a sheet is conveyed to the stack tray, an aligning unit moves between a first position in contact with the sheet loaded on the stack tray and a second position separating from the sheet. A detection processing unit detects a failure of discharging the sheet bundle by the discharging roller. A stop processing unit can stop the operation of the aligning unit when the discharge failure is detected by the detection processing unit.

Articles, for example multi-ply fibrous structure-containing articles such as multi-ply sanitary tissue products, containing two or more fibrous structure plies, and more particularly to multi-ply articles containing two or more fibrous structure plies having a plurality of fibrous elements wherein the articles exhibit improved bulk and absorbent properties compared to known articles and methods for making same, are provided.
