この発明は抄紙1械に使用する抄紙用ニードルフェルト
(以下フェルトと言う)に関する。DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a papermaking needle felt (hereinafter referred to as felt) used in a papermaking machine.
抄紙機の高速、大型、高加圧化にともない、フェルトは

ようになり、フェルトの基布構造も一重織から二重織、
三重織に変化し、抄紙機の高圧化に対し、耐圧縮特性の
ある偏平化しにくい構造になっている。As paper machines have become faster, larger, and pressurized, the materials and structure of felt have undergone significant changes in order to increase its durability. Warp threads 33 of felt base fabric 31. The weft yarn 34 has changed from woolen yarn and multifilament twisted yarn to monofilament, and the base fabric structure of the felt has also changed from single weave to double weave,
It has been changed to a triple weave, and has a structure that is resistant to compression and does not easily flatten against the high pressures of paper machines.

合バット32の厚さが薄くなり、基布31のマークの問
題が発生する。Further, the batt layer 32 that is flocked to the felt base fabric 31 is often single-sided as shown in FIG. 7 in order to improve the water squeezing property and reduce the basis weight. In the case of a double-sided bat structure as shown in FIG. 8, if the thickness of the batt layer 32 on one side is the same as that of the single-sided bat as shown in FIG. becomes. Furthermore, if the felt having a double-sided batt structure as shown in FIG. 8 and the felt having a single-sided batt structure as shown in FIG. The mark problem occurs.
一般にフェルトの基布31のlfl#1は、第3図。In general, lfl#1 of the felt base fabric 31 is shown in FIG.

The surface of (Figure 3) is a 3/1 collapsible oblique text! (Figure 4), 3/
The surface of 1 diagonal sutra double #1 (Fig. 5) has a 3/1 diagonal weave (Fig. 6).

If you use a weave with a texture of 1.1 slanted warp, double n < Fig. 3), the warp will be 33. Due to the knotting order of the Li thread 34, the fourth

。このベアリングマークを防止するにはバット層32を
厚くすると良いが、搾水性が悪くなり、抄紙性能の低下
をきたす。(Hereinafter, this condition will be referred to as bearing). When FEL I paper is made using the base fabric 31 in a bearing state,
This causes bearing marks on the paper, resulting in a decline in paper quality. In order to prevent this bearing mark, it is better to make the batt layer 32 thicker, but this results in poor water squeezing performance and a decrease in papermaking performance.

。If the felt base fabric 31 is woven with Il#l of 3/1 diagonal warp double weave (Fig. 5), bearing marks will not occur, but due to the influence of the downward-sloping streaks on the paper machine. When the felt is turned in the direction of the thread, it tends to shift to the left side.
本発明は、上記のごときベアリングを生ぜず、かつ片寄

仕掛けても抄紙機上でフェルトが偏る性質を生じない。3/1 Yamagata oblique sutra 2ff of the present invention! ! (FIG. 1), as shown in FIG. 2, the surface has continuous chevron-shaped stripes, and the stripes going down to the right and those going down to the left are evenly distributed. For this reason, a felt (No. 7 Even if the method shown in Fig.) is installed in a paper machine, the felt will not be uneven on the paper machine.

m, width dimension 580cm, papermaking speed 1000TIL/min),
Conventionally, a base fabric with a 3/1 collapsible pattern double n (date 470g/rrt) was used, and a synthetic fiber batt (basis weight 938g/TIt) was flocked on one side of this base fabric (the side that will be in contact with the wet paper). felt (Figure 7) was used. In this case, the coated base paper that was made had bearing marks, which caused a decline in the quality of the coated base paper. When making coated base paper where bearing marks are a problem, , a bat made of synthetic fibers on both sides of the base fabric (fabric weight 102
8g/7r1. ) flocked felt (Fig. 8) was used. This resulted in a reduction in papermaking speed of 5 to 7%.

95 (: l, papermaking speed 85,077 L/min), a base fabric with a conventional 3/1 crumbling pattern double weight (basis weight 560 g/g) was used, and one side of this base fabric (the side that would be in contact with the wet paper) was I! Felt made by flocking bats made of i-fiber (weighing 740 g/m) (
Figure 7) was used. In this case as well, the problem was that the bearing marks were attached to the coated base paper.

As a result, the pair 1) ring mark was resolved, but the felt was shifted to the right side of the paper machine, and the edge of the felt came into contact with the paper machine frame, resulting in 11!

Felt (Fig. 7) made of flocked fibers (g/m) on one side of the base (the side that contacts the wet paper) was used. As a result, the bearing mark felt could be used satisfactorily without any deviation, and the life of the felt could exceed 40 days.
