Description
WEAR RESISTANT DESIGN FOR HIGH TEMPERATURE
PAPERMACHINE APPLICATIONS
BACKGROUND OF INVENTION
Field of the Invention The present invention generally relates to a woven fabric designed for use in a papermaking machine. More particularly, the present invention relates to a woven fabric for use in a high temperature section of a papermaking machine.
Description of the Prior Art A conventional papermaking machine forms a web by depositing a slurry of pulp fibers to be formed into a paper sheet on a traveling forming wire. After initial dewatering on the forming wire, the paper sheet or web is transferred to a press section where the web passes through a number of press nips formed between roll couples. The press nips serve to consolidate the solid ingredients of the paper and at the same time to increase the dewatering of the slurry. Thereafter, the web is transferred to a dryer fabric which passes it over a series of heated dryer drums and possibly through a calendar.
Dryer fabrics are generally formed from materials resilient to high temperatures and hydrolytic degradation. However, these materials are often prone to abrasion. Additionally, the stresses on the machine direction yarns cause fairly rapid wearing of the MD yarns, which shortens the life of the fabric.
Accordingly, there is a need for a fabric which can be formed from temperature and degradation resistant materials with less susceptibility to fabric wear.
SU1~SARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a multilayer papermaking fabric having interwoven machine direction (MD) and cross-machine direction (CMD) yarns. The CMD yarns define at least upper and lower CMD yarn subsets. The subsets are interwoven with the MD
yarns in a repeat pattern such that the MD yarns have substantially more interweavings with the upper CMD yarn subset than with the lower CMD yarn subset. The lower subset CMD yarns define machine side floats under at least seven MD yarns and each MD yarn interweaves with only two lower subset CMD yarns in each repeat.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
The preferred embodiment will be described with reference to the drawing figures where like numerals represent like elements throughout.
Referring to Figures 1-4, the preferred fabric 100 is shown.
It generally comprises a system of MD yarns 110 interwoven with a system of CMD yarns 120. The CMD yarn system includes a lower machine contacting layer 122 and an upper layer 124. The upper layer 124 includes pairs of stacked CMD yarns 120. The lower layer 122 includes two adjacent CMD yarns 120 for every stacked pair of yarns in the upper layer 124.
The MD yarns 110 preferably weave in a pattern that repeats on sixty-four CMD yarns 120, but each MD yarn 110 weaves with only two CMD yarns of lower layer 122 in a given repeat. For example, MD yarn 110a weaves in a standard "N" weave pattern with the upper layer 124 until it weaves under lower layer 122 CMD
yarns 48 and 61. These "stitching points" at 48 and 61 join the CMD yarns of upper and lower layers 122 and 124 together. As shown in Figures 1-5, yarn 110b stitches under yarns 20 and 33;
yarn 110c stitches under yarns 12 and 25; yarn 1104 stitches under yarns 40 and 53; yarn 110e stitches under yarns 32 and 45;
yarn 110f stitches under yarns 4 and 17; yarn 1108 stitches under yarns 9 and 28; yarn 110h stitches under yarns 37 and 56; yarn 110i stitches under yarns 13 and 64; yarn 110j stitches under yarns 36 and 49; yarn 110k stitches under yarns 41 and 60; yarn 1101 stitches under yarns 8 and 21; yarn 110m stitches under yarns 16 and 29; yarn 110n stitches under yarns 1 and 52; yarn 110o stitches under yarns 44 and 57; and yarn 110p stitches under yarns 5 and 24.
As shown in Figure 6, the reduced number of stitching points in the CMD yarns lower layer 122 produces floats that pass under fifteen of the MD yarns 110 in a given repeat. Each MD yarn 110 weaves with two lower layer 122 CMD yarns in a given repeat.
These widely spaced interlacings allow the CMD yarns of lower layer 122 to be woven with minimum crimping. As such, the lower layer 122 CMD yarns extend below the plane of the MD yarns 110 machine side knuckles. This produces a machine contacting surface which is dominated by the CMD yarns in lower layer 122 and this protects the MD yarns 110. Preferably the yarns in lower layer 122 are monofilament yarns made from PCTA, Amodel or PET.
The CMD yarns of upper layer 124 and the MD yarns 110 can be of various materials. The MD yarns 110 are preferably made from a material having good tensile strength. Materials which also provide some temperature resistance, such as polyester or ryton, may be used. The fabric 100 can be endless woven or flat woven.
Referring to Figures 7-8, an alternate embodiment of the fabric 200 is shown. Similar to the preferred embodiment, fabric 200 also comprises a system of MD yarns 210 interwoven with a system of CMD yarns 220. The CMD yarn system 220 includes a lower machine contacting layer 222 and an upper layer 224. The upper layer 224 includes pairs of_stacked CMD yarns 220 and the lower layer 222 includes two adjacent CMD yarns 220 for every stacked pair of yarns in the upper layer 224.
The preferred embodiment will be described with reference to the drawing figures where like numerals represent like elements throughout.

The upper layer 224 includes pairs of_stacked CMD yarns 220 and the lower layer 222 includes two adjacent CMD yarns 220 for every stacked pair of yarns in the upper layer 224.
The MD yarns 210 of fabric 200 weave in a pattern that repeats on thirty-two CMD yarns 220 and weave with two lower layer CMD yarns 222 in a given repeat. For example, MD yarn 210a weaves between CMD yarns 2 and 3, over CMD yarn 7, between CMD
yarns 10 and 11, under lower layer CMD yarn 16, between CMD yarns 18 and 19, over CMD yarn 23, between CMD yarns 26 and 27, and under lower layer CMD yarn 29 in a given repeat . Again, the lower layer CMD floats are in a plane lower than the MD yarn 210 machine side knuckles.
