Abstract
The present invention relates to a paper machine mesh, in particular a forming mesh, with an upper fabric layer the outer side of which forms a paper side of the paper machine mesh, wherein the lower fabric layer is formed by longitudinal threads and, woven therewith, lower transverse threads extending transverse to the longitudinal threads, wherein an upper weaving pattern, which is repeated in upper repeats, is formed by the weaving of the longitudinal threads with the upper transverse threads, wherein the longitudinal threads form, through weaving with the upper transverse threads, several upper longitudinal thread runs arranged side by side in the transverse thread direction with longitudinal thread lifts and longitudinal thread lowerings, wherein the longitudinal thread runs each extend over the length of the upper repeat in the longitudinal thread direction, wherein a longitudinal thread lift is formed in that a longitudinal thread respectively weaving with upper transverse threads continually crosses an upper transverse thread on the outer side of the upper fabric layer, and wherein a longitudinal thread lowering is formed in that a longitudinal thread respectively weaving with upper transverse threads continually crosses an upper transverse thread between the upper and lower fabric layer. The longitudinal thread lifts and longitudinal thread lowerings of the upper weaving pattern are arranged irregularly distributed in the upper repeat.
