  • Patent number: 7412991
    Abstract: In an industrial two-layer fabric, either one of an upper side binding yarn and a lower surface binding yarn constituting a pair to be woven with an upper surface weft and a lower side weft passes under one lower surface weft and then passes over a plurality of lower surface wefts. 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.

  • Patent number: 7343938
    Abstract: An industrial two-layer fabric comprising pairs of an upper surface side warp and a lower surface side warp arranged vertically, and warp binding yarns woven with upper surface side wefts and lower surface side wefts to form a portion of an upper surface side surface design and a portion of a lower surface side surface design. Upper surface side warps and warp binding yarns are of the same diameter and lower surface side warps have a greater diameter than warp binding yarns and upper surface side warps. A lower surface side layer is designed so that lower surface side warps and warp binding yarns are arranged alternately, and one lower surface side weft passes over one lower surface side warp and one warp binding yarn adjacent to each other, and passes under a plurality of lower surface side warps and warp binding yarns.

  • Patent number: 7306014
    Abstract: In a lower surface side layer of an industrial two-layer fabric, warps are formed by sequentially arranging a repeating design unit, in which one warp passes over six successive lower surface side wefts, passes under one lower surface side weft, passes over two lower surface side wefts, and passes under one lower surface side weft while shifting the design by three lower surface side wefts. 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.

  • Patent number: 7270151
    Abstract: An industrial two-layer fabric which comprises eight pairs of warps obtained by arranging eight upper surface side warps and eight lower surface side warps, and a plurality of upper surface side wefts and lower surface side wefts, and has an upper surface side layer and a lower surface side layer bound with warp-direction yarns. In the lower surface side layer, warps are formed by successively arranging a design in which one warp passes over four successive lower surface side wefts, passes under one lower surface side weft, passes over two lower surface side wefts, and passes under one lower surface side weft while shifting the design by three lower surface side wefts, and two adjacent lower surface side warps simultaneously weave therein, from the lower surface side, one lower surface side weft.

  • Patent number: 7073539
    Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to provide a fabric having superior surface property, fiber supporting property, wear resistance, water removing property, and rigidity. The fabric according to the present invention comprises an upper layer comprising an upper surface side warp, an upper surface side weft, an auxiliary weft binding yarn, and an auxiliary weft; and a running face layer disposed under the upper layer and comprising a running face side warp and running face side weft.
