  • Publication number: 20230257938
    Abstract: An industrial two-layered fabric includes a front side fabric with warps and wefts and a back side fabric with warps and wefts. The front and back side fabrics are bound by binding warps. A first pair of warps consists of the front side warp and back side warp. A second pair of warps consists of two binding warps. A mutually complementary structure presents where one of the two binding warps forms consecutive knuckles on the front surface while another one of the two binding warps does not emerge on the front surface side, and where the another one of the two binding warps forms consecutive knuckles on the front surface whereas the one of the two binding warps does not emerge on the front surface side. A back side warp and an adjacent binding warp form knuckles below a one back side weft and another one back side weft.

  • Publication number: 20180142385
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to eliminate diagonal weave lines that appear on the surface of a fabric due to warp knuckles. The present invention is also directed to provide an industrial two-layer fabric that prevents transfer marks from forming by suppressing the separation or aggregation of adjacent wefts, which has occurred in conventional pattern structures, and has excellent surface smoothness and running stability. An industrial two-layer fabric includes an upper layer fabric including upper side warps and upper side wefts and a lower layer fabric including lower side warps and lower side wefts, and the upper layer fabric and the lower layer fabric are bound by warps that function as binding yarns.

  • Patent number: 8991440
    Abstract: An industrial two-layer fabric has an inner space between an upper side fabric and a lower side fabric. Some or all of upper side wefts or lower side wefts are secondary wefts interwoven with upper side warps or lower side warps so as to make the number of warps passing on an upper surface of the upper side fabric or passing on a lower surface of the lower side fabric larger than that on an inner space side of the upper or lower side fabric and a long crimp in the inner space is formed by the secondary weft.

  • Patent number: 8853107
    Abstract: An industrial two-layer fabric includes a first warp set and a second warp set that are placed alternately and form a weave design of the upper side fabric. The first warp set contains two upper side warps. At least one of the upper side warps of the first warp set functions as a warp binding yarn that binds the upper side fabric and the lower side fabric. The second warp set contains one of upper side warps and one of lower side warps placed below the one of the upper side warps. At a position where two adjacent lower side warps are woven with one of the lower side wefts, the warp binding yarn placed between the two adjacent lower side warps is woven with the same one of the lower side wefts.
