Patent number: 7393434Abstract: A method of stabilizing the seam loops of a papermaking fabric or other industrial fabric until the fabric is ready to be installed and seamed on a machine. Stabilizing the loops prevents torque imbalance and other forces from distorting the loop alignment over time, thereby making the loops easier to connect and seam when the fabric is ready to be installed.Type: GrantFiled: May 22, 2003Date of Patent: July 1, 2008Assignee: Albany International Corp.Inventor: Glenn Kornett

Patent number: 7381308Abstract: A method of seaming an on-machine-seamable multiaxial papermaker's fabric to prevent yarn migration. The multiaxial fabric is in the form of an endless loop flattened into two layers along fold lines. CD yarns are removed from the folds to create extended ravel areas. This leaves the MD yarns unbound in the ravel areas. Seam loops are then formed from the unbound MD yarns at the folds. CD materials (e.g. continuous CD yarns) are affixed to (rewoven into) the fabric along the edges of the ravel area at each fold. The affixed CD materials bind the CD yarn tails along the edges of the ravel areas to prevent migration of CD yarn tails into the seam area.Type: GrantFiled: May 12, 2004Date of Patent: June 3, 2008Assignee: Albany International Corp.Inventors: Glenn Kornett, Bjorn Rydin, Bodil Jonasson, Sandra Rae, Frank Oxley, Dave Krebs

Patent number: 7197997Abstract: The instant invention is directed to large waterborne, towed flexible fluid containment vessels for the transportation of cargo comprising a fluid or fluidisable material and a method of fabricating the vessels. The flexible fluid containment vessel includes an impervious, elongated flexible tubular structure comprised of fabric having a first circumference. The vessel also includes a sealed front end and rear end and a means for filling and emptying the vessel of cargo. The front end or the rear end of the tubular structure is formed by weaving, knitting or braiding in such a manner to have a taper that terminates in a second circumference that is less than the first circumference.Type: GrantFiled: April 13, 2004Date of Patent: April 3, 2007Assignee: Albany International Corp.Inventors: Dana Eagles, Roland E. Jordan, Jonathan S. Barish, John J. Farrell, Glenn Kornett, Stoney Thornley

Patent number: 6835284Abstract: A one-and-a-half layer monofilament fabric for use as a low-caliper seamed press fabric on a papermaking machine. The fabric is endless woven with seaming loops formed by adjacent unstacked MD wefts. The seaming loops are oriented perpendicular to the plane of the base fabric for easier connection and seaming. When the fabric is placed under load, the loops collapse back to produce a seam area having the same low caliper as the base fabric. Further, this unstacked fabric structure produces a larger web cake than other fabrics having a similar caliper.Type: GrantFiled: December 30, 2002Date of Patent: December 28, 2004Assignee: Albany International Corp.Inventor: Glenn Kornett
