Abstract
This invention relates to a paper machine covering such as a mesh, in particular forming mesh, having an upper fabric layer which is repeated in upper repeats and whose outer side forms the paper side of the mesh, having a lower fabric layer whose outer side forms the machine side of the mesh, and having tie threads arranged in groups and extending in the longitudinal thread direction, which connect the upper fabric layer and the lower fabric layer to each other, wherein the upper fabric layer is formed at least by the tie threads and, woven therewith, upper transverse threads extending transverse to the tie threads, in that the tie threads of each group alternate in sections when weaving with the upper transverse threads in the longitudinal thread direction, thus jointly creating an upper longitudinal thread run which is repeated over the length of the upper repeat in the longitudinal thread direction, wherein the lower fabric layer is formed at least by the tie threads and, woven therewith, lower transverse threads extending transverse to the tie threads, wherein the tie threads of each group cross when switching from weaving with the upper transverse threads to weaving with the lower transverse threads and vice versa, thus forming intersections. The tie threads of at least one group are woven with the upper and lower transverse threads such that at least two consecutive intersections are arranged over the length of the upper repeat in the longitudinal thread direction.
