Patent number: 7959764Abstract: A paper machine having a forming fabric with a paper side plurality of weft and warp yarns interwoven to form a layer contacting a paper web. A plurality of weft and warp yarns are interwoven to form a machine side layer for the forming fabric. A plurality of warp binder yarns are interlaced with the paper side and machine side yarns to form a multiple layered forming fabric. The weft yarns in the machine side layer are greater in diameter than the warp yarns for maintaining width stability of the fabric. The fabric is characterized by high permeability, high void volume and a high Beran's Fiber Support Index.Type: GrantFiled: June 13, 2007Date of Patent: June 14, 2011Assignee: Voith Patent GmbHInventors: Martin Ringer, Daniel Shorkey, Blake Hender

Publication number: 20100032120Abstract: The invention is an endless belt for a machine for the production of a fibrous material web, the belt being formed by a flat woven structure and a connecting region. The flat woven structure has longitudinal threads extending in the MD direction and transverse threads extending in the CMD direction. Every longitudinal thread, has a first thread end section, which protrudes beyond the first end of the woven structure, and a second thread end section, which protrudes beyond the second end of the woven structure.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 20, 2009Publication date: February 11, 2010Inventors: Martin Ringer, Lippi A.

Patent number: 7534325Abstract: The invention relates to a forming fabric, with a paper side fabric having paper side threads and with a wear side fabric having wear side threads. The paper side fabric and the wear side fabric are superimposed to one another and connected by binding threads weaving with both the paper side threads and the wear side threads, both extending in cross direction relative to the binding threads. The binding threads form part of the weave pattern of the paper side fabric and form part of the weave pattern of the wear side fabric, and alternate from weaving with the paper side fabric to weave with the wear side fabric and vice versa, thereby crossing each other forming crossing points.Type: GrantFiled: June 20, 2006Date of Patent: May 19, 2009Inventors: Scott Quigley, Martin Ringer

Patent number: 7527709Abstract: A permeable belt, a belt press including a roll having an exterior surface and the permeable belt, and a method of drying or pressing a web with the permeable belt. The permeable belt has a paper web facing side and is guided over a support surface. The permeable belt can have a tension of between approximately 20 kN/m and approximately 100 KN/m, a permeability value of between approximately 100 cfm and approximately 1200 cfm, a surface contact area of the paper web side that being between approximately 0.5% and approximately 90% when not under tension, and an open area of between approximately 1.0% and approximately 85%. This Abstract is not intended to define the invention disclosed in the specification, nor intended to limit the scope of the invention in any way.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 2006Date of Patent: May 5, 2009Assignee: Voith Paper Patent GmbHInventors: Ademar Lippi Alves Fernandes, Martin Ringer, Carl Warren, Blake Hender, Daniel Sharkey, Thomas Thoroee Scherb

Patent number: 7431802Abstract: The invention relates to a forming fabric, with a paper side fabric having paper side threads and with a wear side fabric having wear side threads. The paper side fabric and the wear side fabric are superimposed to one another and connected by binding threads weaving with both the paper side threads and the wear side threads, both extending in cross direction relative to the binding threads. The binding threads form part of the weave pattern of the paper side fabric and form part of the weave pattern of the wear side fabric, and alternate from weaving with the paper side fabric to weave with the wear side fabric and vice versa, thereby crossing each other forming crossing points. The wear side weave pattern is repeated by wear side repeat units, wherein the binding threads alternate such that one or less than one crossing point within each wear side weave repeat unit is formed and the ratio of the paper side threads to the wear side threads is greater than 1.Type: GrantFiled: June 22, 2005Date of Patent: October 7, 2008Assignee: Voith Paper Patent GmbHInventors: Scott Quigley, Martin Ringer
