Abstract: A papermaker's press felt includes: a base fabric comprising: a set of top machine direction (MD) yarns; a set of bottom MD yarns; and a set of cross machine direction (CMD) yarns interwoven with the top MD yarns and the bottom MD yarns. The top MD yarns, bottom MD yarns, and CMD yarns are interwoven in a series of repeat units in which each top MD yarn forms a long MD paper side float above certain consecutive ones of the set of CMD yarns. The press felt further comprises at least one batt layer attached to the base fabric. In this configuration, the long paper side floats of the base fabric can provide a desirable balance of properties.

Abstract: A textile machine felt, which can be used, for example, as a compacting felt on machines for rendering textiles shrinkproof, consists of a ground textile (1) and a felt layer (2) which is stitched thereon and comprises at least in its surface region an elastic knit fabric (3), for example, a continuous warp knitted sleeve.

Abstract: The textile belt (1) is made of a textile material and is used for a screen, conveyor belt or the like. The belt has attached to loops at end edges of belt ends, helical coils (4) which can be intertwined with adjacent helical coils and held together by means of an insertion wire, an insertion pin or the like which can be inserted into the intertwined helical coils. The helical coil (4) is divided at each end edge into at least three portions, namely two narrow edge portions (7) and a central portion (3), and each helical coil portion is connected to loops at the belt end edges independently of the other portions.

Abstract: A woven fabric belt device, e.g. an endless screen belt for paper making machines wherein a connection device (7a) is provided on at least one end of the woven fabric belt, which connection device is connectable by use of a releasable connecting device (9) to a further connection device (7b) which is arranged either at the other end of the same woven fabric belt or at an end of another woven fabric belt. In order to provide protection against wear, a number of predetermined longitudinal threads (2) are removed but not separated from the woven fabric (1,2,6) along a portion thereof (4) associated with the end of the woven fabric belt, wherein the removed portions (4) of the longitudinal threads (2) are rewoven into a horizontal protective layer of the woven fabric. The protective layer is positioned to lie at least one of over, under and both over and under the connection device (7a) of the woven fabric belt and thus form a protective layer for this connection device (7a).
