The object of the present invention is to provide an industrial two-layered fabric including binding wefts which is capable of improving a high adhesivity of the fabric on the front and back surface sides and the supportability of the warps, without deteriorating the surface smoothness, the abrasion resistance on the back surface side, the extension resistance in the longitudinal direction and the hydration property, which have been conventionally desired. The industrial two-layered fabric includes a first pair of warps consisting of a warp on the front surface side that weaves only a weft on the front surface side and a warp on the back surface side that weaves only the back surface side, and a second pair of warps consisting of a binding warp on the front surface side and a binding warp on the back surface side which functions to bind the fabric on the front surface side and the fabric on the back surface side, the one of the binding warp constituting the second pair of the warps consecutively forms a plurality of knuckles on the fabric on the front surface side, while the other of the binding warps does not emerge on the front surface side at a portion where a plurality of knuckles are formed by the one of the binding warp, and the other binding warp consecutively forms a plurality of knuckles on the fabric on the front surface side, while the one binding warp does not emerge on the front surface side, whereby a complementary structure is formed, the diameter of the warp on the front surface side is set to be substantially the same as the diameter of the binding warp, and the diameter of the warp on the back surface side is set to be larger than the diameter of the binding warp on the front surface side.

A clothing, in particular a seam felt for a machine producing a fibrous material web, in particular a paper, paperboard, tissue or pulp web, includes a base structure including or formed of a two-layer laminate structure formed of one or more flat-woven fabrics. The laminate structure has MD threads forming seam loops at two end sides of the base structure, and the two layers of the laminate structure are connected to one another by the seam loops. The clothing is made endless by connecting the end sides by a seam. The seam is made by interengaging the seam loops of both end sides and introducing an insertion element. The diameter of the seam loops LD and the diameter of the associated MD threads MDYD have a ratio LD/MDYD of between 2.5 and 4, in particular between 2.7 and 3.6.

An industrial textile formed from first and second systems of warp yarns interwoven with first, second, and third sets of weft yarns in a repeating pattern to provide a 2½ weft layer fabric construction is provided. One of each of the yarns of the first and second sets of weft yarns are arranged so as to form a vertically aligned pair with respect to one another, and the third set of weft yarns is located intermediate of the first and second sets of weft yarns between vertically aligned pairs from the first and second sets. Each of the warp yarns in the first system of warp yarns is interwoven only with the weft of the first and third sets, and each of the warp yarns of the second system of warp yarns is interwoven only with the weft yarns of the second and third sets. The warp yarns of the first and second systems of warp yarns are arranged as vertically stacked pairs.

The invention relates to a dryer fabric, which is woven of machine direction yarns (2) and cross machine direction yarns (3). The machine direction yarns (2) have free long float above at least seven cross machine yarns on a paper side (P) of the dryer fabric (1). Further, the fabric has double cloth structure having machine direction yarns in two successive layers (2a, 2b).

A functional belt has a foam layer and at least one further functional layer. The foam layer and the further functional layer are joined to one another by laser transmission welding, in particular by NIR laser transmission welding. A method for producing a functional belt includes the following method steps: providing a compressible foam layer; providing a further functional layer bringing together the foam layer and the further functional layer and joining the compressible foam layer to the further functional layer by laser transmission welding, in particular by means of NIR laser transmission welding. A technical textile, in particular a fabric for use in a machine for the production or processing of a fibrous material web, preferably press felt of a paper machine, a sealing band or a textile-reinforced insulation material, includes, or is made of, such a functional belt.

A fabric or belt for a papermaking machine including a first layer that defines a web contacting surface and a second layer that supports the first layer. The first layer is made of extruded polymer and includes a plurality of first elements aligned in a first direction, a plurality of second elements aligned in a second direction and extending over the plurality of first elements, and a plurality of open portions defined by the plurality of first and second elements. The second layer is made of woven fabric. The first layer is bonded to the second layer so that the first layer extends only partially through the second layer and an interface formed between the first and second layers includes bonded and unbonded portions and airflow channels that extend in a plane parallel to the first and second layers.

A fabric, in particular a press felt, is provided for use in a press section of a machine for producing a fiber web such as a paper, cardboard, or tissue web. The fabric is formed of multiple strips which are arranged adjacent one another and extend substantially parallel to one another in a machine direction. The strips together form a width of the fabric in the machine transverse direction. Each strip is designed as a double-layered sheet material. Strips arranged adjacently in respective pairs are connected by way of a connecting strip. A part of the width of each of the connecting strips extends in the machine transverse direction into the two adjacent strips. The strips are connected to the connecting strips.

An industrial textile (6) for manufacturing a fibrous web has first machine direction yarns (1) on the front side (7) which bind to first cross-machine direction yarns (4) in a first pattern, while second machine direction yarns (2) on the back side bind to second cross-machine direction yarns (5) in a second pattern. Third machine direction yarns (3) bind to the first cross-machine direction yarns (4) and the second cross-machine direction yarns (5) in a third pattern. The third pattern has at least one interlacing point (71) on the front side where one of the third machine direction yarns (3) passes over one of the first cross-machine direction yarns (4) and at least one interlacing point (72) on the back side (8) where the same third machine direction yarn (3) passes under one of the second cross-machine direction yarns (5).

An industrial textile has two layers, a web-side layer and a wear-side layer. The web-side layer has machine direction yarns (1) and binding cross-machine direction yarns (5). The wear-side layer has machine direction yarns (3) and cross-machine direction yarns (4). The binding cross-machine direction yarns (5) extend from the web-side layer to the wear-side layer and bind a portion of the wear-side layer machine direction yarns (3) to bond the web-side layer and the wear-side layer together, and wherein the web-side layer is a non-plain weave.

A woven fabric has warp threads and weft threads that are interwoven for configuring a textile structure. The woven fabric has a thickness direction as well as a warp direction and a weft direction. The warp threads and/or the weft threads in the thickness direction have a wave-shaped profile. At least some, preferably all, weft threads have a wave-shaped profile in the warp direction, and/or at least some, preferably all, warp threads have a wave-shaped profile in the weft direction. Moreover, a technical textile is formed from such a woven fabric.
