A deflection member that includes a reinforcing member and a plurality of tiles fastened to the reinforcing member.

The present invention relates to a helical toothed belt including: a back portion in which a tension member is buried; and a plurality of tooth portions, in which: the plurality of tooth portions have a tooth pitch of 2 mm or more and less than 4 mm, in a case where the tooth pitch of the plurality of tooth portions is 2 mm or more and less than 3 mm, the back portion has a thickness of 0.4 mm or more and 1.2 mm or less, in a case where the tooth pitch of the plurality of tooth portions is 3 mm or more and less than 4 mm, the thickness of the back portion is 0.6 mm or more and 1.8 mm or less; and the tension member is a twisted cord including a high-strength glass fiber or a carbon fiber.

In a multilayer fabric for nonwoven fabric 30, an upper-surface-side fabric formed from upper-surface-side warps (1Ub, 2U, 3U, 4U, 4U′, 5Ub, 6U, 7U, 8U, 8U′) and upper-surface-side wefts (1′U, 2′U, 3′U, 4′U) and a lower-surface-side fabric formed from lower-surface-side warps (1Lb, 2L, 3L, 5Lb, 6L, 7L) and lower-surface-side wefts (1′L, 2′L, 3′L, 4′L) are bound together. First warps (1Ub, 5Ub) of the upper-surface-side warps serve as first binding yarns that bind the upper-surface-side fabric and the lower-surface-side fabric, and second warps (1Lb, 5Lb) of the lower-surface-side warps serve as second binding yarns that bind the upper-surface-side fabric and the lower-surface-side fabric. A high-friction yarn is used as at least some of the upper-surface-side warps.

A fabric for reinforcing a power transmission belt including fibers of polyarylene sulfide and a belt utilizing the fabric. The fabric may have textured or elastic core wrapped stretch yarns in the longitudinal direction. Longitudinal yarns may include PPS and textured transverse yarns include nylon. Yarns may include blends of high performance fibers and nylon or other fibers.

A woven webbing for use in a tiedown or sling for lifting, restraint or other material handling functions. The woven webbing includes a central portion and tubular edges. The central portion has a top surface and an oppositely facing bottom surface. The top surface and bottom surface may be woven in a first pattern for strength and abrasion resistance while remaining flexible. The tubular edges extend from either side of the central portion. The tubular edges may be woven in a second pattern to improve the cut resistance of the tubular edges. The tubular edges have interior cavities which may include twisted floating yarn extending therethrough to enhance the cut resistance of the tubular edges. The tubular edges may include a high modulus yarn material which changes the orientation of the yarn material away from the axial direction of tension when a load is applied to the webbing.

An industrial textile (1) having a longitudinal direction (MD) and a cross direction (CMD) and a first surface and a second surface, the industrial textile (1) extending in the cross direction from a first edge (E1) to a second edge (E2). The industrial textile (1) has a double warp which comprises a first warp having first machine direction yarns (U1, U2) and a second warp having second machine direction yarns (LI, L2). The yarns (U1, U2) of the first warp are arranged above the yarns (LI, L2) of the second warp and the yarns of the first warp are at least partially offset in respect of the yarns of the second warp. The industrial textile has a weft having cross machine direction yarns (W1, W2, W3, W4). The yarns (U1, U2) of the first warp and the yarns (W1, W2, W3, W4) of the weft bind themselves to each other according to a first predetermined pattern and the yarns (LI, L2) of the second warp and the yarns (W1, W2, W3, W4) of the weft bind themselves to each other according to a second predetermined pattern. The first predetermined pattern and the second predetermined pattern form a textile structure which has the cross machine direction yarns (W1, W2, W3, W4) at least on two different levels in the thickness direction of the industrial textile (1).

The present invention provides tissue webs and products having improved z-directional properties. The improved z-directional properties may be achieved by providing the structure with a unique three-dimensional surface topography, which increases the structure's Exponential Compression Modulus (K) and Caliper Under Load (C.sub.0). By improving both K and C.sub.0, the present inventors have also been able to provide tissue structures with relatively high Compression Energy (E), which enables the structures to be calendered at high loads without significant loss of sheet bulk or degradation of strength.

A strap is provided, intended for a sling for persons, where the strap is elongated with short end edges and longer lateral edges and comprises a first belt and a second belt. Each belt includes an inside and an outside, where the insides are turned towards one another, and the outsides are turned away from one another. The first belt and the second belt include warps and wefts. The strap has a longitudinal direction that is parallel to the warps, and a transverse direction that is parallel to the wefts. In the longitudinal direction of the strap there are a number of first sections, where the first belt and the second belt are interwoven, and second sections are provided between them, where the first belt and the second belt are not interwoven, so that an eye is formed in each of the second sections.

A filter element comprising two layers of weft (1) interlaced with warp (2). Additionally laid-in (3) yarns are provided in-between the two weft layers. The laid-in yarns (3) are not interlaced with the weft.

A structured tissue belt assembly including a supporting layer, a non-woven web contacting layer, and one or more laser welds that attach the bottom surface of the web contacting layer to the top surface of the supporting layer. The structured tissue belt assembly allows for air flow in x, y and z directions. In exemplary embodiments, the structured tissue belt assembly has an embedment distance between the supporting layer and the web contacting layer of 0.05 mm to 0.60 mm and a peel force between the web contacting layer and the supporting layer of at least 650 gf/inch.
