Abstract: A method for producing a topographical pattern on or in a papermachine fabric. The method for creating the pattern on or in an fabric, includes producing a topographical polymer pattern on or in a papermachine fabric using a rotary screen. The instant abstract is neither intended to define the invention disclosed in this specification nor intended to limit the scope of the invention in any way.

Abstract: A press fabric having a plurality of surface pressing plates on a sheet side of the fabric imparts an impression onto a sheet of paper web during a pressing process. The surface pressing plates are preferably resin pressing plates, and form at least one of a random pattern of dots, a predetermined pattern of dots, a grid pattern of dots, a regular grid pattern of lines, an irregular grid pattern of lines a plurality of squiggly lines, a plurality of wavy lines, a plurality of straight lines, words and pictures.

Abstract: The invention relates to a belt for a machine for the production of web material, especially paper or cardboard, including a carrying structure and a pattern of wear-resistant material on at least one side of the carrying structure. The invention further relates to a machine for the production of a fibrous web in which the inventive belt is utilized.

Abstract: A method for the production of a fabric for industrial use comprising extruding polymer material onto a carrier structure to produce a patterned design on the carrier structure, wherein a cross-sectional profile of the extruded polymer material is substantially convex. An apparatus for carrying out the method comprising a polymer extrusion apparatus structured and arranged to move in three mutually perpendicular directions. A fabric comprising a carrier structure and a patterned design comprising extruded polymer material arranged on the carrier structure, wherein the extruded polymer material is arranged to form a substantially convex cross section on the carrier structure.

Abstract: A fabric, in particular for a paper making machine, includes a plurality of helically wound coil members arranged side by side with respect to each other in an intermeshing manner, such that connecting channels are formed by adjacent intermeshing coil members, a hinge member being introduced into and extending along each connecting channel for interconnecting adjacent coil members, a stuffer channel being formed within each coil member extending along and between two connecting channels associated to a respective coil member, at least a part of the stuffer channels being filled with stuffer members extending longitudinally within the stuffer channels, a stuffer material being provided at least in regions of the fabric for filling spaces formed within the fabric between the coil members, the hinge members and the stuffer members.

Abstract: A method for creating a pattern on or in an fabric, comprising producing a topographical polymer pattern on or in a papermachine fabric using a rotary screen. A fabric, comprising a papermachine fabric including a topographical polymer pattern as an external or internal feature. The instant abstract is neither intended to define the invention disclosed in this specification nor intended to limit the scope of the invention in any way.
