Description
- The present invention is dint to a composite papermaking fabric which is preferably used in the forming section but could also be used in the dryer section. The term composite fabric refers to a fabric comprising two woven structures one of which is the paper side fabric or upper fabric and the other of which is the machine side fabric or lower fabric. The paper side fabric includes a support surface which surface receives and supports the paper forming pulp during the paper forming operation. The lower or contact fabric separates the support fabric from the machine rollers during the paper forming operation and includes a roller contact or contact surface. Both fabrics must be stable and provide the required drainage. The support fabric must also provide an even support surface without unduly high knuckles or unduly deep knuckle depressions so as to not mark the paper during the paper forming operation.
- The upper and lower fabrics are bound together with a binder yarn which in the instant case comprises fabric born warp yarn. The term fabric born warp yarn indicates that the binder yarn while binding the upper and lower fabrics together also weaves in the machine direction with and is an integral part of the weave pattern of both the upper and tower fabrics. The term warp yarn refers to yarns which weave in a single specified layer of the fabric and in the machine direction. The term weft yarn refers to yarns woven transverse of the warp yarns.

FIGS. 1 and 2 represent sectional perspective views of the composite papermaking in which the upper fabric A is formed with a paper pulp support surface C as shown inFIG. 1 and the lower contact fabric B which is formed with a lower roller contact surface D as shown inFIG. 2 . As shown inFIG. 1 and further illustrated inFIG. 11 , upper fabric A and more specifically, support surface C is woven in a one up, one down weave pattern allowing the support surface to present an even array of warp knuckles separated on each side by a weft knuckle. This is best illustrated inFIG. 11 where each O represents a warp yarn passing over a weft yarn on the support surface. Each passover forms a warp knuckle. Likewise, each weft yarn passing ever a warp yarn on the support surface is represented by a blank square. These passovers form weft knuckles. Each O represents a binding point where the warp yarn passing over the weft yarn is an fabric born warp yarn. - The fabric is woven utilizing eight warp yarns numbered 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13 & 15 and with eight fabric born warp yarns numbered 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 & 16 per weave pattern repeat which is a so called 16 shaft weave. The present invention is not limited to the weave repeat shown in the figures. It's understood that the weave repeat in general can be 16 shaft or greater. Therefore the weave repeat could be for example a 20 shaft or a 24 shaft or a 28 shaft or a 32 shaft or a 40 shaft weave. The weave pattern repeat also weaves with forty weft yarns numbered 1-40.
Weft yarns A. Weft yarns - Again turning to
FIGS. 1, 2 , 11 & 12. InFIGS. 1 & 11 , the x represents the binding points or the positions in which an fabric born warp yarn passes over an upper weft yarn weaving with the support fabric A to bind the support fabric A with the contact fabric B forming the composite fabric. These binding points, which formbinding knuckles 70, are identified inFIGS. 1 and 3 -10. -
FIGS. 3-10 are side views of each of the warp and fabric born warp yarns weaving with the weft yarns 1-40 through a complete repeat of the weave pattern. As can be seen inFIGS. 3-10 the ratio of upper weft yarns to lower weft yarns is 3:2. It is understood that this ratio is not limiting the scope of the invention, therefore the ratio exemplary also could be 2:1 or 5:3. As is clearly shown,warp yarns weft yarns weft yarns FIG. 3 and warp yarn 5 at the pick ofweft yarns FIG. 5 . It is along these floats that the fabric born warp yarns are brought up to pass over two spaced picks, such as fabric bornwarp yarn 2 overpicks 17 & 20 inFIG. 3 and fabric born warp yarn 6 overpicks 7 and 10 inFIG. 5 , binding upper fabric A with lower fabric B. Throughout the remainder of the weave pattern, each of the fabric born warp yarns weaves with selected of the upper weft yarns securing support fabric A with contact fabric B at the binding points illustrated inFIG. 11 along each fabric born warp yarn. The binding points form a broken twill pattern over the support surface. It has to be stated that the weave pattern of the support fabric A predominantly is created by the weaving of thewarp yarns 1, 3, 5, 7, . . . with the upper (paper side)weft yarns warp yarns - By way of example as can be seen in
FIG. 3 warp yarn 1 weaves with upper (paper side)weft yarns weft yarns warp yarn 2 with theweft yarns - In the weave pattern shown in
FIG. 3 warp yarn 1 weaves with seven times more (paper side) wefts than fabric bornwarp yarn 2. - Again, as seen in FIGS. 1 & 3-10 at each
binding point 70, the associated upper warp yarn passes beneath the pick where the binding point is formed with the fabric born warp yarn. In the above referred to example, warp 1 passes beneath weft yarn or picks 17 & 20 at bindingpoints 70. Likewise inFIG. 5 warp yarn or pick 5 passes beneath weft yarns 7 & 10 at bindingpoint 70. By so controlling the upper warp yarns to be positioned beneath the bindingpoints 70 they function to support the weft yarns and thereby the binding knuckles against vertical downward movement. As described previously the weave pattern of the support fabric A predominantly is farmed by the is weaving of thewarp yarn weft yarns binding points 70 elevated and on an even and substantially parallel plane with the remainder of the knuckles forming the support surface C. Also, by passing the upper warp yarns beneath the upper weft at the binding points no adjacent knuckles appear on the support surface at the binding points. - Turning now to
FIGS. 2-10 & 12 contact fabric B will now be discussed. As seen inFIGS. 2 & 12 contact fabric B is woven in a broken twill pattern with each fabric born warp yarn passing beneath four weft yarns at spaced locations on contact surface D. Each fabric born warp yarn either floats above the lower weft yarns and beneath the warp and weft yarns of the upper or support fabric A or passes over the two of the upper picks formingbinding points 70 throughout the remainder of each weave pattern as earlier discussed. - Turing again to
FIGS. 2 & 12 it can be seen that the weave pattern forming lower fabric B produces a weft dominated contact surface D with each weft weaving with the lower fabric warp yarns to form two floats per pick throughout the weave pattern each of which passes beneath three warp yarns. This weave pattern forms a weft yarn dominated running or contact surface D. - The yarns selected for forming the disclosed may comprise yarns of the same diameter or of varying diameters if desired. For example, it may be desirable to weave the support fabric with weft yarns of less size than the weft yarns forming the contact fabric. The warp and the fabric born warp yarns preferably are of the same size. Variation in yarn size may be selected depending upon the performance requirements.
- The materials chosen far the yarns can vary depending upon the performance needs of the formed papermaking fabric. Generally stability is of the utmost importance, it being desired that the drainage capability be maintained throughout the life of the papermaking fabric. Also, wearability is another vital factor due to cost. Accordingly, polyester yarns which exhibit excellent stability characteristics may be selected to form the support surface and as the fabric born warp yarns. The running or contact surface weft yarns may all or partly be polyamide yarns due to greater wearability characteristics. Also, the contact side weft yarns may be of a larger diameter than the support fabric weft yarns. Other synthetic materials and size combinations may be selected to form the warp, weft, and fabric born warp yarns of the invention dependent upon the required performance needs of the fabric.
