Definitions

  • the invention relates to conveyor belts and filtration bands such as felts or stationery covers.
  • conveyor belts or the like are used to form, press, dry.
  • bands obtained by weaving with or without subsequent fixing of a ply by needling, have been used on one or two faces.
  • the object of the invention is to remedy these drawbacks by producing a felt which makes it possible to reduce and even eliminate these vibrations and / or these crushed.
  • the subject of the invention is a felt such as stationery covering made of a permeable fabric comprising warp threads interspersed with weft threads characterized in that at least some of said warp threads are made of knitted structural threads compressible and elastic so as to give the felt a vibration damping effect between the rollers and cylinders of the papermaking machine and delay the appearance of crushed parts and on the other hand that the felt can resume substantially its first thickness when it is no longer compressed.
  • FIG. 1 represents a water-permeable fabric made up of weft threads 11, 12, 13, 14 and two layers of warp threads 15, 16.
  • the weft threads are formed of monofilament threads.
  • the layer of warp threads 15 is made up of non-compressible wired threads.
  • the layer of threads 16 consists of knitted threads of compressible and elastic structure, preferably threads made of stitches as shown in FIG.
  • the layer of compressible and elastic warp threads 16 can be placed in contact with the rollers of the machine and the layer of non-compressible warp threads 15 can constitute the face of the felt in contact with the sheet of paper.
  • FIG. 2 represents a variant of fabric made up of monofilament weft threads 11, 12, 13, 14 and three layers of warp thread 15, 16.
  • the two layers of warp thread 15 are made of non-compressible cabled threads.
  • the layer of warp threads 16 consists of knitted threads of compressible and elastic structure. The compressible and elastic layer 16 is thus interposed between two non-compressible layers 15.
  • the number of threads and layers of compressible and elastic threads incorporated in the slot depends on the qualities of elasticity desired for the felt.
  • a sheet of fibers 17 can then be fixed to the fabric by the needling technique, on one or both sides of the fabric (fig. 4 and 5) in order to improve the surface condition, for example for give the felt a soft and non-marking surface, avoiding any risk of marking the paper.
  • the fibers of the tablecloth 17 partially interpenetrate the canvas of the fabric and form a tablecloth 4 to 5 mm above the canvas.
  • the weft and warp threads are preferably made of synthetic material.
  • the compressible and elastic thread is formed from a monofilament or multifilament knitted so as to constitute a bead of structure with three compressible dimensions. It may include a support core and one or more knitted threads wound around the support core.
  • a knitted yarn longer than that of the felt is used so that the yarn works without tension and that the stitches of the knitted yarn retain their shape, in order to obtain a maximum damping effect.
  • the knitted yarn can be chemically treated, for example it can be coated with resin so as to increase its resistance, in particular to untying.
