A device for producing a pattern combination on a clothing includes the following: a rotary screen, a cylindrical jacket surface with a perforation pattern that defines a first pattern component. Material in the liquid or pasty state is pressed through the perforations of the jacket surface of the rotary screen and deposited on the surface of the clothing in order to produce the first pattern component on a surface of the clothing, while the rotary screen, rotating several times about a longitudinal axis thereof, rolls on the surface of the clothing in at least one path that continuously revolves on the surface of the clothing at least once. At least one device produces, synchronously and/or simultaneously, a second pattern component, which device is connected indirectly or directly to the rotary screen. The device for producing the pattern combination also includes a post-run system.

Device for generating a pattern on a clothing for a machine for manufacturing a web material

A press felt includes a base structure providing dimensional stability in a machine and a cross machine direction of the felt, a batt fiber structure including batt fiber layers attached to the base structure which provide a paper contacting side and a machine contacting side of the felt. The base structure includes a first and second side. Polymeric beads or strands made from a polymeric material are arranged on at least one of the two sides of the base structure. The polymeric beads or strands arranged on the at least one side have a longitudinal expansion in the machine direction of the felt and are arranged side-by-side when viewed in the cross machine direction of the felt to generate space between adjacent beads or strands. At least one of the batt fiber layers is arranged to cover both the at least one side and the polymeric beads or strands thereon.

Press felt for a papermaking machine

The invention relates to a method for producing a topographical pattern from polymer material on an endless strip with a longitudinal direction and a transverse direction extending perpendicularly thereto, in which method a cylindrical rotary screen is used to apply the polymer material by the screen printing process to a circumferential side of the endless strip to be printed, wherein, when producing the pattern, the rotary screen, rotating repeatedly about its longitudinal axis, rolls on the circumferential side of the endless strip, whereby the pattern is applied to the circumferential side in at least one path running at least once uninterruptedly around the circumferential side in such a way that the beginning and the end of each revolution of the path are arranged along a common straight line, wherein, when rolling, the rotary screen performs N revolutions about its longitudinal axis during each revolution of the path on the circumferential side of the endless strip and N is a positive integer.

Method for producing a pattern on an endless strip

A method for producing a topographical pattern on or in a papermachine fabric. The method for creating the pattern on or in an fabric, includes producing a topographical polymer pattern on or in a papermachine fabric using a rotary screen. The instant abstract is neither intended to define the invention disclosed in this specification nor intended to limit the scope of the invention in any way.

Method for producing topographical pattern on papermachine fabric by rotary screen printing of polymeric material

A fabric, in particular for a paper making machine, includes a plurality of helically wound coil members arranged side by side with respect to each other in an intermeshing manner, such that connecting channels are formed by adjacent intermeshing coil members, a hinge member being introduced into and extending along each connecting channel for interconnecting adjacent coil members, a stuffer channel being formed within each coil member extending along and between two connecting channels associated to a respective coil member, at least a part of the stuffer channels being filled with stuffer members extending longitudinally within the stuffer channels, a stuffer material being provided at least in regions of the fabric for filling spaces formed within the fabric between the coil members, the hinge members and the stuffer members.

Papermachine clothing

A press fabric having a plurality of surface pressing plates on a sheet side of the fabric imparts an impression onto a sheet of paper web during a pressing process. The surface pressing plates are preferably resin pressing plates, and form at least one of a random pattern of dots, a predetermined pattern of dots, a grid pattern of dots, a regular grid pattern of lines, an irregular grid pattern of lines a plurality of squiggly lines, a plurality of wavy lines, a plurality of straight lines, words and pictures.

Patterned press fabric

A method for manufacturing a fabric-like clothing, in particular for a machine for producing web material, in particular paper or paperboard, including the measures: a) providing a fabric-like substrate with at least one seam region extending essentially in the substrate transverse direction (CMD); b) applying a coating onto the fabric-like substrate such that the coating extends over at least one seam region; and c) cutting through the coating along at least one seam region.
