A covering for a machine for producing or processing a fibrous web, in particular a paper or tissue web. The covering includes a basic covering which has a web-contacting upper side and an underside, and a plurality of polymer elements. The polymer elements are welded onto the upper side and at least some of the polymer elements are in the form of yarn-shaped and/or tape-shaped polymer elements.

Paper machine clothing

A fabric clothing, in particular a press felt, for use in a machine for producing a fibrous web, contains a woven fabric strip having interwoven longitudinal threads and cross threads, as well as having a first and a second longitudinal end. The two longitudinal ends of the woven fabric strip are connected to one another in a connection zone. Provision is made that the two longitudinal ends are welded to one another by a transmission welding, in particular by a laser transmission welding.

Fabric

A fabric for a machine to produce a fiber web, especially a paper-, board-, tissue- or pulp web, is formed of a flat woven base material having a top side and a bottom side, two terminal ends separated in a machine direction, folds formed in the flat woven base material being separated in the machine direction by the folding defining an inside between the two folded layers and an outside. The two terminal ends are located under the bottom side surface, wherein the two terminal ends one of are adjacent to each other or overlap each other, seam loops located at the folds characterized in that the fabric further has one, two or more sheet-like plies. Also a method to produce a fiber web, especially a paper-, board-, tissue- or pulp web is carried out with a machine that is provided with at least one such novel fabric.
