  • Patent number: 7703481
    Abstract: A paper machine fabric having at least two separate layers made of at least four warp yarn systems woven in different manners and a weft yarn system woven in at least two different manners. The layers are bound together by a binder warp system, whereby the binder warp is arranged to complement the surface of the paper side and to be interwoven with the layer of the machine side by being interwoven under at least one weft yarn of the machine side. The warp yarns of one warp yarn system, i.e. wandering warps, are arranged to complement a warp path formed by the binder warps so that it is continuous at those points on the machine side where the binder warps constitute a part of the paper side structure.

  • Patent number: 7507679
    Abstract: A paper machine fabric comprising at least two machine direction yarn systems, which are bound together by means of a binding yarn system. The layer of the machine side is formed of a warp system and a binding yarn system. The binding yarn system comprises a binding yarn, binding yarns or a pair of binding yarns. The binding yarn, the binding yarns or the pair of binding yarns is/are bound to more than one bottom warps at the point where the binding yarn binds the top and bottom warps together.

  • Publication number: 20080308171
    Abstract: The invention relates to a paper machine fabric comprising at least two separate layers made of at least four warp yarn systems (1; 2a, 2b; 4; 5) woven in different manners and a weft yarn system woven in at least two different manners. The layers are bound together by means of a binder warp system (2a, 5 2b), whereby the binder warp (2a, 2b) is arranged to complement the surface of the paper side and to be interwoven with the layer of the machine side by being interwoven under at least one weft yarn (6) of the machine side. Warp yarns (5) of one warp yarn system, i.e. wandering warps, are arranged to complement a warp path formed by the binder warps (2a, 2b) so that it is continuous at those points on the machine side where the binder warps (2a, 2b) constitute a part of the paper side structure.

  • Patent number: 7001489
    Abstract: A paper machine fabric comprising at least two separate layers formed using at least two separate yarn systems: one constituting the paper side and comprising machine direction and cross machine direction yarns and the other constituting the machine side and comprising machine direction and cross machine direction yarns, the yarn systems being arranged to form independent structures in both directions of the fabric. The structures are bound together with binder yarns, a binder yarn being arranged to form part of the weave of a layer on the paper side surface and arranged to be interwoven with a layer of the machine side by being interwoven under at least one yarn in the machine side layer. The number of machine direction yarns in the layer constituting the machine side is larger than the number of machine direction yarns in the layer constituting the paper side.

  • Patent number: 6094834
    Abstract: The invention relates to an arrangement for a drying section of a paper machine, the arrangement comprising a fine wire (5a) and a coarse wire (5b) that are arranged to pass between metal bands (2, 3) of a band dryer (1) together with a web (4) to be dried. The fine wire (5a) comprises at least three interwoven textural layers, wherein the outermost layers, in other words a surface (10) and a bottom (11), have a finer texture than the middle section (12) situated between them. According to a preferred embodiment, the surface layer (10) is provided with a denser texture than the bottom (11), which, in turn, has a denser texture than the middle section (12).
