A fabric structure used to make textured tissue or towel or nonwovens, the structure being permeable to air and water, comprising a sheet contact surface having a pattern including a series of raised land areas and corresponding depressions adapted to impart a texture to the tissue or towel or nonwoven, and a series of through voids adapted to allow passage of both water and/or air from the fabric surface into and/or through the structure.

Permeable belt for the manufacture of tissue, towel and nonwovens

A support member such as a belt or sleeve includes a topographical pattern on its sheet contact side. A plurality of land areas, corresponding depressions, through voids, and/or groove areas are formed on the top surface of the support member to produce the topographical pattern. The land areas, corresponding depressions, through voids, and/or groove areas may be formed by graving, cutting, etching, embossing, mechanical perforation or a combination thereof. The improved belt or sleeve imparts desired physical characteristics, such as bulk, appearance, texture, absorbency, strength, and hand to a nonwoven product produced thereon.

Industrial fabric, and method of making thereof

A fabric structure used to make textured nonwoven products, the structure being permeable to air and water, comprising a web contact surface having a pattern including a series of raised land areas and corresponding depressions adapted to impart a texture to the nonwoven product produced thereon, and a series of through voids adapted to allow passage of both water and/or air from the fabric surface into and/or through the structure.
