Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a seam tape for a machine for producing web material, in particular paper or cardboard.
  • Such a seam tape is for example off WO 00/09800 A1 known.
  • Suture tapes for machines for producing web material which are generally also referred to as needled felts, are often constructed with a base structure in the form of a suture.
  • Such stitched fabrics are produced in an endless weaving process in such a way that the weft threads of the stitching fabric running in the longitudinal direction of the band form seam loops at the two longitudinal band ends. These are connected to each other during the weaving process by a suture or sewing wire, so that during the weaving process, the woven base structure or the suture actually has an endless configuration.
  • the two longitudinal ends are separated, so that the tape can be pulled in its direction of movement into the machine and subsequently then the two tape longitudinal ends can be reconnected to each other.
  • FIGS Fig. 1 and 2 A weave pattern or a procedure in weaving such a stitched fabric as a base structure for a seam tape are in FIGS Fig. 1 and 2 shown.
  • the rows 1 to 16 represent the different weft entries "S" running in the band longitudinal direction, while the columns 1 to 18 represent the warp threads "K" running in the transverse direction of the strip. Shown is a weft / warp repeat, with the dark marked fields each show at the shed forming Ketthebisme. in the upper part of the Fig. 2 the time sequence or the course of the weft or the weft insertion is shown in the production of such a suture.
  • warp threads 10 and 12 are also recognizable are two warp threads 10 and 12, of which the warp thread 10 forms the so-called guide and the warp thread 12 forms the so-called suture or seam wire. Between these warp threads 10 and 12 are then to be incorporated into the fabric and not shown warp threads. In this procedure, 12 respective seam loops 14, 16 are formed in the suture thread, namely, that, for example, first the shot 1 is entered and above the suture thread 12, the loop 14 is formed, then returned as a shot 2, under the suture 12th therethrough. The shot 2 then runs to the guide 10, is guided around it and runs as a shot 3 above the guide 10 then again and again in the direction of the weft in the other end of the fabric.
  • the seam fabric which is still endless during the weaving process becomes a fabric with two longitudinal ends.
  • This fabric comprises two fabric sections 18, 20 between the longitudinal ends situated in the region of the seam loops 14 and 16, the fabric section 18 being substantially formed with the wefts 1 and 2 and correspondingly following shots, while the fabric portion 20 is substantially formed with the shots 3 and 4 and according to the following shots.
  • the weft threads form two weft layers, one of these weft layers substantially comprising the wefts 1 and 4 and the like, while another of these weft layers comprises the wefts 2 and 3 and the like.
  • weft entries denoted by 1, 2, 3 and 4 follow each other chronologically and insofar these weft entries can also be interpreted as respective weft threads during the weaving process, when the finished suture is removed when the suture thread 12 is removed and the two longitudinal ends with the seam loops 14 respectively provided there 16 and 16 have been moved apart to produce an outstretched seam fabric, actually the weft threads 1 and 4 and also the weft threads 2 and 3 continue each other and thus in the finished and stretched fabric each having a single with the two sections 1 and 4 or 2 and 3 provided weft.
  • weft threads 1, 2, 3 or 4 are referred to below, this refers in each case, for example, to the weft thread section 2 of the weft thread in the finished fabric actually through the weft insertion or weft thread sections 2 and 3.
  • the 3 and 4 show a section of a structured with such a seam fabric as a base structure seam tape 22. It shows, for example, the Fig. 3 a section in the region of the tissue section 18, while the Fig. 4 shows a section in the region of the tissue section 20.
  • a seam band 22 constructed in this way has on the two sides of the base structure 24, that is to say the seam fabric, only fiber material 26 or 28, for example felt material or nonwoven material, which is shown symbolically.
  • weft threads 1 and 2 substantially one above the other are positioned.
  • the shots 1 to 2 of the respective weft thread pairs 34 do not lie exactly one above the other, which would be desirable but have a lateral offset from one another, ie an offset in the warp direction or in the transverse direction of the tape.
  • a corresponding offset is also present in the tissue section 20, which in Fig. 4 is shown. Due to the manufacturing process, however, the offset between the weft yarn layers 30 and 32 forming weft yarn sections 4 and 3 is opposite to the offset direction in the fabric section 18. Between these two fabric sections 18 and 20, namely where in the weaving process the weft yarns around the guide 10 are guided, and where the longitudinal ends, so the seam loops 14 and 16 are formed, 34 crossover points are present in each of the weft pairs, in which the offset change takes place.
  • crossover points are present at defined positions of the tape in the tape longitudinal direction, essentially all of these crossover points of the different weft thread pairs run simultaneously through a press nip.
  • the organs acting on the seam band 22, that is to say for example the press rollers are pressed slightly apart, this separation occurring twice in each complete band pass.
  • a seam strip for a machine for producing web material, in particular paper or cardboard comprising a base structure formed as a seam fabric with weft threads running in a band longitudinal direction and warp threads running in a ribbon transverse direction, wherein at the strip longitudinal ends the weft threads seam loops for connecting the Forming tape ends, wherein in the seam fabric at least two weft yarn layers are formed and weft pairs each comprise a weft of a first of the weft layers and a weft of a second of the weft layers, and wherein two different types of groups of weft pairs are formed, wherein in a first type of groups of Weft pairs a respective weft of the first of the weft layers with respect to the paired weft thread of the second of the weft layers is offset in a first direction and in the second type of group a pair of weft thread pairs a respective weft thread of the first of the weft thread layers is offset with respect
  • At least one group of the first type and at least one group of the second type are present in the seam band according to the invention.
  • the stabilization of the weft thread layers with respect to each other by the inventively introduced, going in different directions offset can be further enhanced by alternately alternating in the weft direction groups of the first type and groups of the second type.
  • the groups of the first type and the groups of the second type comprise essentially the same number of weft pairs.
  • the groups of the first type and / or the groups of the second type comprise four pairs of weft threads.
  • the first of the weft layers may form a web material side weft layer, and the second of the weft layers may be a running side Form weft layer.
  • the seam fabric according to the invention may be formed with two weft thread layers. In principle, however, it is also conceivable that more than two weft thread layers are present, wherein, for example, an intermediate weft thread layer can be contained between a web material side and a running side weft thread layer.
  • the offset to be provided according to the invention can then be related to the weft threads located directly beneath one another in the thickness direction, for example the weft thread layer and the intermediate weft thread layer or the intermediate weft thread layer and the running weft thread layer.
  • such an offset can also be related to a respective pair of weft threads, which comprises a weft thread of the running side weft thread layer and a weft thread of the weft thread position on the web material side. Between these, another weft thread of the intermediate weft thread layer can be positioned.
  • a seam band constructed according to the invention is to be used in a dry section or a press section of a machine for the production of pile material, it is advantageous if fiber material, preferably nonwoven material or felt material, is provided on at least one side of the base structure.
  • a seam band 22 according to the invention can be seen in cross-section.
  • This has in its central region a suture as the base structure 24, on both sides of which fiber material such. B. felt or nonwoven material 26, 28, for example, is determined by needling.
  • the seam tape 22 according to the invention also has two weft thread plies 30, 32, wherein, for example, the weft thread ply 30 is a weft thread ply, so that in the production process the fiber material 26 comes into contact with the web material to be produced, for example paper.
  • the weft layer 32 is then a running weft layer, so that the fiber material 28 comes into contact with various the seam band 22 leading, driving or deflecting rollers.
  • weft pairs 34 In the weft layers 30, 32 each directly superimposed weft threads 1, 2 of the two weft layers 30, 32 (and correspondingly weft threads 4, 3 when showing a cut in a different length range) weft pairs 34. It can be seen in Fig. 5 by the drawn vertical dashed lines that here four groups 36, 38, 36 'and 38' of weft pairs 34 are present, in principle, two different types of groups of weft pairs 34 are recognizable here. Thus, the groups 36 and 36 'are to be assigned to a first type of groups of weft pairs 34, while the groups 38 and 38' are to be assigned to a second type of groups of weft pairs 34.
  • a further reinforcement of the stabilization is obtained in that in the inventively constructed seam tape of each type of groups of weft pairs 34 more are present, and these alternate.
  • the uniform number of weft pairs 34 in the various groups 36, 38, 36 'and 38' contributes to a homogenization of the forces occurring.
  • a stitching fabric or a basic structure with the in Fig. 5 recognizable relative position of the weft threads of the various weft pairs 34 can be obtained, for example, that starting from a standard bond pattern, as for example in Fig. 1 is shown, the order of the bond pattern formed with the respective weft entries in relation to the warp threads are reversed.
  • the default order of weft entries is defined as follows:
  • weft entries 1, 2, 3 and 4 are considered in this standard order, then one can also recognize by means of the Fig. 2 in that in the first fabric section 18 the weft threads or weft inserts 1 and 2 lie one above the other, while in the second fabric section 20 the weft threads 3 and 4 lie one above the other and thus define the same weft thread pair 34.
  • weft entries 1, 2, 3 and 4 are considered in this standard order, then one can also recognize by means of the Fig. 2 in that in the first fabric section 18 the weft threads or weft inserts 1 and 2 lie one above the other, while in the second fabric section 20 the weft threads 3 and 4 lie one above the other and thus define the same weft thread pair 34.
  • weft entries where each weft entry is, for example, the in Fig. 1 four weft pairs 34 are thus defined with sixteen weft entries, so that, for example, when using this standard sequence of weft entries, the groups 36 and 36 ', So the first type of groups
  • This reverse order with its 16 weft entries thus defines four pairs of weft threads 34 in the sewing fabric 24, wherein due to the reversal of the order, the offset of the weft threads 1, 2 or 3, 4 of a respective weft thread pair 34 changes. Consequently, a group 38 or 38 'of the second type of groups of weft thread pairs 34 can be generated by this reverse order.
  • Each change between the standard order and the reverse order thus means a change between a group of the first type and a group of the second type. Occurs in a suture 24 only a single such change, for example in the middle of the width, so would be one half of the suture tissue Offset in one direction formed, and the other half would be formed with offset in the other direction.
  • the frequency of change between these orders can be selected on the basis of the loads and requirements encountered in web material production. It goes without saying that a change of order does not necessarily have to occur after each repeat. It can also be changed within a repeat or the change pattern can be larger than the repeat pattern.
