Abstract: In an industrial two-layer fabric, one upper surface side warp and three warp binding yarns are disposed adjacent to each other. Each of the three warp binding yarns appears on the upper side surface in turn and passes over different one or two successive upper surface side wefts. At least one upper surface side weft exists between knuckles formed on the upper side surface by the three warp binding yarns. Adjacent to the upper surface side warp, these three warp binding yarns get together to form on the upper side surface a design which is the same design formed by an upper surface side warp.

Abstract: 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.

Two adjacent lower surface side warps simultaneously weave therein, from the lower surface side, one lower surface side weft, whereby the lower surface side weft passes over two lower surface side warps and then passes under eight lower surface side warps to form a weft long crimp corresponding to eight lower surface side warps on the lower surface side surface.
