Abstract: A device for producing a pattern combination on a clothing includes the following: a rotary screen, a cylindrical jacket surface with a perforation pattern that defines a first pattern component. Material in the liquid or pasty state is pressed through the perforations of the jacket surface of the rotary screen and deposited on the surface of the clothing in order to produce the first pattern component on a surface of the clothing, while the rotary screen, rotating several times about a longitudinal axis thereof, rolls on the surface of the clothing in at least one path that continuously revolves on the surface of the clothing at least once. At least one device produces, synchronously and/or simultaneously, a second pattern component, which device is connected indirectly or directly to the rotary screen. The device for producing the pattern combination also includes a post-run system.

Abstract: An industrial clothing, in particular a clothing for a machine for manufacturing a fibrous web, such as a paper, cardboard, or tissue web, or a non-woven product, is manufactured by: i) forming a planar structure from yarn in the form of a woven fabric, a cross-laid structure, a knitted fabric, a warp-knitted fabric; or from interconnected helical elements; ii) applying polymer material in the form of at least one group of beads to at least one surface of the planar structure, the application of the polymer commencing at starting points and terminating at terminal points remote from the starting points; iii) repeating step ii), wherein terminating points of the group of beads are spaced apart from starting points of at least one further group of beads, which generates regions with a void between the groups on the surface of the planar structure.

Abstract: A press felt includes a base structure providing dimensional stability in a machine and a cross machine direction of the felt, a batt fiber structure including batt fiber layers attached to the base structure which provide a paper contacting side and a machine contacting side of the felt. The base structure includes a first and second side. Polymeric beads or strands made from a polymeric material are arranged on at least one of the two sides of the base structure. The polymeric beads or strands arranged on the at least one side have a longitudinal expansion in the machine direction of the felt and are arranged side-by-side when viewed in the cross machine direction of the felt to generate space between adjacent beads or strands. At least one of the batt fiber layers is arranged to cover both the at least one side and the polymeric beads or strands thereon.
