A papermaker's fabric includes a series of repeat units, wherein each of the repeat units includes: a set of top machine direction (MD) yarns having a first diameter; a set of bottom MD yarns having a second diameter larger than the first diameter; a set of auxiliary bottom MD yarns having the first diameter; a set of top cross machine direction (CMD) yarns interwoven with the top MD yarns to form a top fabric layer; a set of bottom CMD yarns interwoven with the bottom MD yarns and the auxiliary bottom MD yarns to form a bottom fabric layer; and a set of stitching yarns arranged in pairs, wherein at least one of the stitching yarns of the pair interweaves with the top and bottom fabric layers.

A method of forming a fibrous web on a papermaking machine including the steps of depositing a dilute fiber slurry out of a headbox to a forming area comprising a forming surface made up of a structured fabric, wherein the structured fabric is supported by a breast roll and a forming roll, and the forming area is devoid of any additional fabrics or belts other than the structured fabric, draining the dilute fiber slurry through the structured fabric, and drying the fiber slurry.

The object of the present invention is to provide a fabric with a thinned thickness which exhibits excellent rigidity, good anti-extension property, good wear resistance, good hydration property and good surface smoothness property.

The present invention includes one upper surface side fabric constituted by warps on the surface side and upper surface side wefts, one lower surface side fabric constituted by lower surface side warps and lower surface side wefts, at least one warps on the surface side function as a warp binding yarn, two warps on the upper surface side are woven to form a pair on the upper surface side as the ribbed cord fabric, a ratio of the number of the warps on the upper surface side to that of the warps on the lower surface side is 2:1.

A clothing, in particular a seam felt for a machine for producing a fibrous material web, in particular a paper, paperboard, tissue or pulp web, includes a base structure including or being formed of a two-layer laminate structure formed of one or more flat-woven fabrics. The laminate structure has MD threads which form seam loops at the 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 thereof 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.

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

A clothing, in particular a forming belt for a machine for producing or processing a fibrous web, includes a paper side, a backing side, a basic structure and at least one further structure. The at least one further structure is formed of or includes a layer of polymer foam providing the paper side of the clothing. A method for producing the clothing is also provided.

A clothing, in particular a press belt for a machine for producing or processing a fibrous material web, includes a paper side, a backing side, a base fabric and at least one additional structure. The at least one additional structure is formed of or includes a layer of polymer foam which provides the paper side of the clothing. A method for producing a clothing, and a machine for producing a fibrous material web, are also provided.

A deflection member that includes a reinforcing member that includes a resin coating, and at least one tile fastened to the resin coating.

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