Patent number: 10022935Abstract: An air permeable sun shading fabric for provision of shade while allowing air to permeate the fabric includes a panel that is flexible and comprises a plurality of layers. The plurality of layers comprises an inner layer and an outer layer. Each of the layers has a plurality of openings. The openings are consistently sized and equally spaced, thus defining a band around each of the openings. The opening and a respective one of the bands define a unit. The openings of each of the layers are positioned in rows that are parallel. Each of the rows is offset by one half of the unit from adjacent rows. The layers are mutually coupled, such that each of the pluralities of openings is offset from the pluralities of openings positioned in adjacent layers.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2015Date of Patent: July 17, 2018Inventor: Klaus Hermann

Patent number: 7628891Abstract: An apparatus for treating a fibrous web, in particular a paper, board or tissue web including a press section and a drying section. The press section includes a central roll around which an at least substantially impermeable belt wraps, the fibrous web being removed from this impermeable belt and fed to the drying section. In this case, as viewed in the web running direction, the first drying group of the drying section includes at most three drying cylinders. In the exit region of the first drying cylinder of the first drying group, in which the fibrous web runs off the drying cylinder together with a permeable circulating belt or is removed from the drying cylinder by such a permeable circulating belt, a removal zone to which vacuum is applied is provided on the side of the permeable circulating belt that faces away from the fibrous web.Type: GrantFiled: August 3, 2006Date of Patent: December 8, 2009Assignee: Voith Patent GmbHInventors: Daniel Gronych, Robert Koplin, Klaus Hermann, Georg Kleiser
