Definitions
- This invention relates to the weave structure of a woven fabric, particularly in the edge region of a fabric which is joined by a seam to form an endless tube or belt for use as a conveyor belt, or as papermachine clothing, particularly dryer fabrics.
- a frequently used form of seam is a looped seam or a spiral loop seam.
- a flattened helical coil is attached to each end of the fabric, by means of a CD yarn passed through the loops of the spiral and bound onto the fabric by having at least selected machine direction yarns passed about the spiral binding yarn and reincorporated into the fabric.
- the seam is completed by interdigitating the spirals on opposed edges of the fabric and passing a further CD binding yarn or pintle wire through the interdigitated loops of the spirals.
- the seam thus formed will tend to be symmetrical about the so-called 'neutral line' of the fabric.
- symmetrically woven fabrics comprising e.g. two layers of CD yarns of the same diameter
- the neutral line lies in the geometric centre plane of the fabric.
- asymmetric weaves such as those described which may also comprise a layer of coarse CD yarns to the back and a layer of fine or shaped (i.e. having a cross-section other than circular) CD yarns to the face, the neutral line is displaced towards the fine or shaped yarn side.
- the seam coils lie to the fine or shaped yarn side of the fabric and will thus tend to stand proud of the fabric on the fine or shaped yarn side, and may be recessed on the coarse yarn side.
- the projection of the seam proud of the paper contacting surface (fine or shaped yarn side) of the fabric means that there is an enhanced risk of marking of the paper by the seam, and it is desirable to reduce or substantially eliminate fabric features which may cause such marking, to ensure a consistent quality of paper product.
- the proudness of the seam can make the seam more susceptible to wear and thereby create a point of weakness in the fabric.
- An object of the invention is to provide a woven fabric which is constructed in such a way that projection of a seam used for joining the fabric is reduced or substantially eliminated in asymmetric fabric constructions.
- a woven fabric comprises at least two layers of CD yarns, comprising a first layer of larger dimensioned yarns and a second layer of smaller dimensioned yarns, and at at least one edge thereof, a seaming spiral connected to the fabric by a seam binding yarn, secured by at least selected MD yarns being looped about said seam binding yarn, characterised in that the final smaller dimensioned or non-circular cross-sectioned yarn is displaced to the opposite side of the fabric from the plane of said second layer.
- the last two larger dimensioned yarns are displaced towards the plane of said second layer from the plane of said first layer.
- dimensioned refers to general overall cross-sectional dimensions, including diameter.
- the third larger dimensioned CD yarn from the edge may be of a diameter intermediate the diameters of the yarns of the larger and smaller diameter layers.
- the yarns may be of generally circular cross-section or may be of other cross-sections, e.g. flattened.
- a specific example of a fabric intended for use as papermachine clothing specifically a dryer fabric, or a filter belt, etc.
- a fabric intended for use as papermachine clothing specifically a dryer fabric, or a filter belt, etc.
- This pattern of cross-machine (CD) yarns is maintained until the end region of the fabric, where one smaller diameter yarn 14 is placed on the machine side of the fabric, and the last two larger diameter yarns 15, 16 are displaced towards the paper-side of the fabric.
- a terminal binding yarn 17 is used to bind the loops of a flattened helical spiral 18 to the edge of the fabric, and this in turn is used to join opposed ends of the fabric by interdigitating with the loops of a matching spiral 18a and passing of a pintle wire or seam binding yarn 19 through the interdigitated loops.
- the fabric is completed by weaving of machine direction (MD) warp yarns such as for example 20, which comprises a main reach 20a which is for example floated over pairs of smaller diameter or shaped yarns 13 in layer 12, and over a single larger diameter yarn 11 in layer 10, then looped about binding yarn 17, and a back-woven reach 20b, woven back from the loop about binding yarn 17, into the body of the fabric.
- MD machine direction
- the penultimate CD yarn 21 in machine side layer 10 is of a diameter intermediate between the diameters of the larger diameter yarns 11 of layer 10, and the smaller diameter yarns 13 of layer 12.
- Selected warp yarns such as yarn 20, are looped about the binding yarn 17, while to create space for the loops of spiral 18, others of the warp yarns, not shown, may be looped about the terminal larger diameter CD yarn 16.
- the effect achieved by the fabric structure according to the preferred embodiment of the invention is to seat the spiral 18 away from the paper-side of the fabric.
- the MD yarn 20 is preferably twisted as it passes around the binding yarn 17 through 180°, so that the crimp pattern of the yarn is maintained, whilst keeping the longer floats on the paper-side in the return reach 20b of the yarn, as they are on the main reach 20a of the yarn.
- the twist can sometimes cause proudness, creating sheet marks and/or wear susceptible weak points.
- the geometry of the weave pattern is altered in the seam region, and this in combination with the seating away from the paper-side of the fabric helps to minimise sheet marking and seam wear.
- the MD yarns 20 are preferably rectangular in cross-section, or other flat or profiled section yarns may be used.
- the CD yarns are preferably round, although flat or other cross-sectional shaped yarns may again be used.
- a fabric may comprise a single layer of alternating larger and smaller diameter or shaped yarns. In practice, the smaller diameter or shaped yarns will migrate to form a sub-layer of such yarns above a sub layer formed by the larger diameter yarns left in the plane of the single layer.
- the fabric construction of the invention and as particularly described may be used on other fabrics formable by seams to form endless belts or tubular fabrics, such as conveyor or filter belts.
