Abstract

A fibrous structure may have a lower side and an upper side, and may comprise three-dimensional, out-of-plane features formed by knuckles on a papermaking belt, the features may exhibit at least two Z-direction spatially separated surfaces defined in order spatially with respect to the lower side, wherein each successive surface progressing in a Z-direction away from the lower side may have a projected area less than the projected area of the surface adjacent and closer to the lower side, and each projected area may be bounded completely by the area of the projected area of the surface adjacent and closer to the lower side.
