Patent number: 8809211Abstract: An industrial two-layer fabric includes an upper side fabric and a lower side fabric. The upper side warps of the upper side fabric comprise a first warp set and a second warp set. The first warp set contains two upper side warps and a warp binding yarn that binds the upper side fabric and the lower side fabric. The two upper side warps are woven with the same upper side wefts. The second warp set contains one upper side warp. At a position where the warp binding yarn passes above one of the upper side wefts, the warp binding yarn is placed between the two upper side warps of the first warp set and pass below the same one of the upper side wefts, whereby the two upper side warps and the warp binding yarn of the first warp set form the upper side warp design.Type: GrantFiled: November 28, 2011Date of Patent: August 19, 2014Assignee: Nippon Filcon Co., Ltd.Inventor: Ikuo Ueda

Patent number: 7896035Abstract: In an industrial multilayer fabric, narrower wefts of a small diameter are placed between lower side wefts so as to sandwich a knuckle formed by a lower side warp on the lower surface side of the fabric. The industrial fabric is obtained by stacking at least upper side wefts and lower side wefts one after another and weaving these wefts with warps. Narrower wefts that have a smaller diameter than that of the lower side wefts and form a shorter crimp than that formed by the lower side wefts on the lower side surface are arranged between the lower side wefts. And at a knuckle portion formed by warps passing under one or two successive lower side wefts, the narrower wefts form a crimp passing under lower side warps so as to sandwich, from both sides, one knuckle or two knuckles formed by two adjacent warps under two adjacent wefts.Type: GrantFiled: November 9, 2009Date of Patent: March 1, 2011Assignee: Nippon Filcon Co., Ltd.Inventors: Ikuo Ueda, Yoshihisa Kondo

Patent number: 7819141Abstract: A two layer fabric has first, second, third and fourth upper side wefts contiguously and repeatedly arranged. Each of three contiguously arranged warps forms a knuckle over second, over third, and over second upper side wefts respectively to form a separation portion. At both sides of the separation portion, both the second and third upper side wefts form a float portion by passing over two or more warps. Adjacent to the float portion, one warp passes over the second and third upper side wefts successively and one or two warps adjacent thereto pass over the second or the third upper side weft to form an approach portion where the second and third upper side wefts approach.

A warp on one adjacent side of the one of the upper and lower surface binding yarns has a similar design thereto and passes over and under the same lower surface wefts. The design of a set of the two warps adjacent to each other is shifted and arranged one after another to form a complete design of the lower surface fabric and a lower surface weft has a design in which the weft passes over two successive warps and then passes under a plurality of warps to form a long crimp on the lower surface.Type: GrantFiled: November 10, 2005Date of Patent: August 19, 2008Assignee: Nippon Filcon Co., Ltd.Inventors: Keiichi Takimoto, Ikuo Ueda, Masakazu Murakami

Patent number: 7357157Abstract: In a repeating unit of a two-layer fabric, a first upper surface side warp forms a first upper surface side warp design. A second upper surface side warp forms a latent portion in which the second upper surface side warp passes between the two layers of the fabric. A first lower warp binding yarn and a second lower warp binding yarn form first and second knuckles respectively by passing over one or two upper surface side wefts at a position not adjacent to two knuckles of the second upper surface side warp in the latent portion. The first and second knuckles are formed at different positions. The first lower warp binding yarn, second upper surface side warp and second lower warp binding yarn cooperatively form a second upper surface side warp design similar to the first upper surface side warp design.Type: GrantFiled: June 13, 2006Date of Patent: April 15, 2008Assignee: Nippon Filcon Co., Ltd.Inventor: Ikuo Ueda
