Abstract
Abstract A forming fabric consisting of synthetic yarns and intended for use in papermaking, cellulose and similar machines. The fabric comprises two layers, a top layer comprising fine yarns and forming the forming layer proper, and a bottom layer, the wear layer, comprising coarser yarns. The two layers are interconnected by interconnecting yarns which are arranged in pairs in such a manner that in the top layer they replace one another to form a regular pattern, preferably a two-shaft weave pattern, a twill weave pattern or a satin weave pattern.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
166 words
An improved open mesh fabric for papermaking cellulose and similar machines, said fabric comprising: a first system of synthetic yarns, said first system forming a layer which in position of use of said fabric faces the material to be formed; a second system of synthetic yarns, said second system forming a layer which in position of use of said fabric faces the dewatering elements of said machine; a third system of synthetic yarns in cross direction to said first and second systems, said third system interwoven with and interconnecting said first and second systems; and said third system consists of pairs of first and second yarns, said first and second yarns of each said pair together and alternately forming a pattern in the same phase in the face of said fabric which in position of use is to face the material to be formed and with first and second yarns of other pairs of adjoining yarns form a regular pattern when woven with said first system.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
166 words
An improved open mesh fabric for papermaking cellulose and similar machines, said fabric comprising: a first system of synthetic yarns, said first system forming a layer which in position of use of said fabric faces the material to be formed; a second system of synthetic yarns, said second system forming a layer which in position of use of said fabric faces the dewatering elements of said machine; a third system of synthetic yarns in cross direction to said first and second systems, said third system interwoven with and interconnecting said first and second systems; and said third system consists of pairs of first and second yarns, said first and second yarns of each said pair together and alternately forming a pattern in the same phase in the face of said fabric which in position of use is to face the material to be formed and with first and second yarns of other pairs of adjoining yarns form a regular pattern when woven with said first system.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
29 words
An improved forming fabric as claimed in claim 1, comprising the yarns of said first and said second systems being weft yarns and the interconnecting yarns being warp yarns.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
35 words
An improved forming fabric as claimed in claim 1, wherein said pairs of interconnecting yarns weave in a two-shaft weave pattern in said layer which in position of use faces the material to be formed.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
35 words
An improved forming fabric as claimed in claim 1, wheren said pairs of interconnecting yarns weave in a twill weave pattern in said layer which in position of use faces the material to be formed.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
35 words
An improved forming fabric as claimed in claim 1, wherein said pairs of interconnecting yarns weave in a satin weave pattern in said layer which in position of use faces the material to be formed.
