Abstract: A paper-making fabric having two or three weft layers. The two layer fabric has in its upper layer paired weft threads lying against one another and interwoven with a warp binding in mutually parallel relationship. The three layer fabric also has the paired weft threads with the warp interweaving with all of the three weft layers.The papermaking fabric to Seabrook et al U.S. Pat. No. (5,826,627) is of general interest for its disclosure to paired weft threads in its upper layer. However, unlike the structure disclosed in the instant claims 4&5 said reference weft threads aren't disclosed to be in mutual parallel relationship lying against each other.
