Abstract
Abstract A forming wire for use in paper-making, cellulose and similar machines, comprising a first layer of weft threads, which layer is intended in the position of use of the wire to face the material to be formed, a second layer of weft threads, which layer is intended in the position of use of the wire to face the machine drive rollers, and synthetic warp threads interweaving said two weft layers. Said first layer of weft threads crosses said warp threads on said outer face of the wire closest to the material to be formed, in at least 80% of all cross points, or according to the shaft (harness) number used in between 80% and 90% of all cross points, whereby the wefts on the wire face turned towards the material to be formed float over a large number of warps. The number of cross points on this wire face thus is reduced, eliminating the tendency of the wire to cause marking on sensitive paper qualities.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
83 words
An improved forming wire for use in paper-making, cellulose and similar machines, comprising a first layer of weft threads facing the material formed on the wire, a second layer of weft threads facing the machine drive rollers, and synthetic warp threads interweaving said two layers of weft threads, the improvement comprising said first layer of weft threads crossing said warp threads on the outer face of said wire closest to the material to be formed, in at least 80% of all cross points.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
83 words
An improved forming wire for use in paper-making, cellulose and similar machines, comprising a first layer of weft threads facing the material formed on the wire, a second layer of weft threads facing the machine drive rollers, and synthetic warp threads interweaving said two layers of weft threads, the improvement comprising said first layer of weft threads crossing said warp threads on the outer face of said wire closest to the material to be formed, in at least 80% of all cross points.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
40 words
An improved forming wire as claimed in claim 1, wherein on said outer face of said wire, turned towards the material formed, each thread of said first layer of weft threads crosses six out of seven successive said warp threads.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
40 words
An improved forming wire as claimed in claim 1, wherein on said outer face of said wire, turned towards the material formed, each thread of said first layer of weft threads crosses four out of five successive said warp threads.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
40 words
An improved forming wire as claimed in claim 1, wherein on said outer face of said wire, turned towards the material formed, each thread of said first layer of weft threads crosses five out of six successive said warp threads.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
40 words
An improved forming wire as claimed in claim 1, wherein on said outer face of said wire, turned towards the material formed, each thread of said first layer of weft threads crosses seven out of eight successive said warp threads.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
40 words
An improved forming wire as claimed in claim 1, wherein on said outer face of said wire, turned towards the material formed, each thread of said first layer of weft threads crosses eight out of nine successive said warp threads.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
40 words
An improved forming wire as claimed in claim 1, wherein on said outer face of said wire, turned towards the material formed, each thread of said first layer of weft threads crosses nine out of ten successive said warp threads.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
33 words
An improved forming wire as claimed in claim 1, wherein said threads of said two layers of weft threads as well as the warp threads interweaving said weft layers, are synthetic monofilament threads.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
25 words
An improved forming wire as claimed in claim 1, comprising said wire constructed with a weave pattern incorporating shaft numbers ranging from 5 to 24.
