Detailed description of some embodiments
Figure 1 shows a longitudinal industrial textile 1 provided with a 15 seam S wherein transversal connecting ends E1 and E2 are connected to each other by means of seam loops, for example. Other type of seam structures and connecting members, such as seam spirals, may also be utilized. On the other hand, the textile 1 may comprise two or more seams, or alternatively, it has no seam at all. When the seam S is connected, the textile has a 20 shape of a closed loop. The textile 1 has a first surface P i.e. a product side surface, which is intended to be faced towards a product or fibre web being treated, supported or transported on the textile 1. A second surface R i.e. a roll or machine side surface of the textile is intended to be faced towards the paper machine, filter device, or any other process device utilizing industrial 25 textiles. As it is already discussed above, and will be demonstrated in Figures 2-4 below, at least one protective element PE is arranged on at least the first surface P of the textile.
Figures 2-4 also show that the protective elements PE are longitudinal and relatively narrow pieces, which are arranged at longitudinal edge 30 portions EP of the textile 1. The edge portions EP are not covered by a fibre web FB or corresponding product, but instead only a middle portion MP is carrying the fibre web FB. Further, Figures 2-4 are only for illustrative purposes and show the relative width of the edge portions EP and the middle portion MP in an exaggerated manner. Contrary to what has been shown in Figures 2-4 35 the second surface R may also comprise one or more protective elements PE on the edge portions, or alternatively and in some special implementations, the protective elements PE are only on the second surface R side.
Figure 4 shows that at the proximity of the seam S both connecting ends E1 and E2 may comprise tie back TB1, TB2 portions, wherein yams forming seaming loops or corresponding connecting elements are connected to basic structure of the textile 1. In Figure 4 the tie back TB1, TB2 is indicated by means of broken lines which define a seam area SA between them. The seam area SA and the tie back portions TB1, TB2 may be protected by means 5 of one uniform protective element PE1 or by means of two successive protective elements PE2 and PE3. However, it is possible to position one or more dedicated protective elements PE4 at desired positions on the textile 1.
Figures 5-7 disclose some embodiments of the industrial textile and the protective element. These issues are discussed already above.
Figure 8 discloses a roll of adhesive tape AT. The tape comprises a body B, a release liner RL and an adhesive layer AL. The tape may have properties discussed already above in this patent application together with some commercial examples.
The drawings and the specification associated thereto is merely in15 tended to illustrate the idea of the invention. The details of the invention may vary within the scope of the claims.
