A pressing cushion ( ) for use in laminating presses has a textile support ( ) with threads ( ), at least some of which constitute thermally conductive threads ( ) that bring about, either directly or by contact with other thermally conductive threads ( ), a thermal transfer from one outer side to the other outer side of the pressing cushion ( ). The support ( ) includes a cushion layer ( ) made of a flexible rubber material, wherein the thickness of the cushion layer ( ) is less than that of the support ( ). The cushion layer ( ) is embedded into the support ( ) in such a way that thermally conductive threads ( ) protrude beyond the cushion layer ( ) on both outer sides of the pressing cushion ( ).

Pressing cushion

The invention concerns a pressing cushion ( ) having a cushioning ( ) that is elastic in its thickness direction and having connecting threads ( ), going back and forth between the surfaces of the cushioning, that are configured at least partially as thermally conductive threads. The pressing cushion ( ) is characterized in that connecting threads ( ) are provided which have a sewn profile or form knitted stitches.

The invention concerns a pressing cushion ( ) having a textile thread system ( which is characterized in that the thread system has a knitted material ( ) or is made of a knitted material ( ).

A textile planar structure for paper machine cloths, transport belts or filtering means has two or more plies, each of which has structural yarns in both the machine and cross-machine directions that bind at least two plies together, and optionally, structural yarns which do not bind the plies together, but which cooperate with the binding structural yarns to form a uniform weave pattern. At least one ply has a group of adjacent structural yarns running in the same direction that alternate in their position within the planar structure, such that when one yarn binds one ply, another yarn in the same group binds another ply, and vice versa. When a binding structural yarn from an adjacently disposed group crosses from a first ply into an inter-ply space between the plies, another yarn from the same adjacently disposed group crosses from a second ply into the inter-ply space without the binding structural yarns laying under or over each other.
