    Abstract: A woven fabric for use in a machine to produce a fiber web, such as a tissue fiber web, has a paper side formed by interwoven warp yarns and weft yarns. The paper side has a plurality of twill lines formed by neighboring flotations of warp yarns. The twill lines have an MD vector component in a machine direction and a CD vector component in a cross machine direction. At least some twill lines are diagonal, with a CD vector component being unequal to zero. The diagonal twill lines include first diagonal twill lines with CD vector components that have an opposite sign to the CD vector components of second diagonal twill lines. A sum of all CD vector components of the first diagonal twill lines is substantially balanced with a sum of all CD vector components of the second diagonal twill lines.

    Abstract: A forming fabric for a papermaking machine has a machine facing side and a web facing side. The web facing side has a structured weave of warp yarns and weft yarns that define pockets on the web facing side. Each pocket is defined by four sides on the web facing side, three of the four sides each being formed by a knuckle of a single yarn, and one of the sides being formed by a knuckle of a weft and of a warp yarn, wherein the weft yarn also defines a bottom surface of the pocket.

    Abstract: A woven fabric for a fiber web producing machine has a defined machine direction, a cross machine direction, a web facing side, and a machine side. The web facing side is formed by MD yarns that extend substantially in the machine direction and by CD yarns extending substantially in the cross machine direction of the woven fabric. The MD yarns and CD yarns are interwoven with each other and the woven fabric is configured to structure the fiber web produced on the woven fabric. A plurality of adjacent long flotations of MD yarns on the web facing side form together a discrete element that is raised on the web facing side for allowing the woven fabric to structure the fiber web. The term “long flotation” means that the MD yarn passes over at least six adjacent CD yarns on the web facing side of the woven fabric.

    Abstract: A woven fabric is used in a machine to produce a fiber web. The woven fabric has a machine direction, a cross machine direction, a paper side and a machine side. The paper side is formed by interwoven warp yarns and weft yarns. The paper side contains a plurality of twill lines, each twill line being formed by a plurality of neighboring flotations of warp yarns. The twill lines contain an MD vector component directed in the machine direction and a CD vector component directed in the cross machine direction. At least some twill lines are diagonal twill lines meaning that the CD vector component is unequal to zero. The plurality of diagonal twill lines contains first diagonal twill lines and second diagonal twill lines, the CD vector components of the first diagonal twill lines have an opposite sign to the CD vector components of the second diagonal twill lines.

    Abstract: A woven-fabric belt for a fibrous web machine includes longitudinal and cross threads forming crossing points, top and bottom sides and a seam segment. Each longitudinal thread has end segments with ends. A segment is formed by weaving end segments with cross threads. Some end segments follow a weaving path with the cross threads, along which an end segment forms floats on the sides in alternation in direction of the thread end and a float is disposed on the bottom side between two adjacent floats on the top side and vice versa. A last float before the thread end is formed on one side and the end segment switches from one side to the other following the last float before the thread end. The end segment is bonded to a cross thread at one thread crossing point in one float lying before the last float in the weaving path.

    Abstract: A woven fabric for use in a machine to produce a fiber web, such as a tissue fiber web. A paper side of the fabric has warp yarns and weft yarns interwoven in a weave pattern, and twill lines, each formed by neighboring warp yarn flotations. Each warp yarn flotation of the weave pattern that contributes to the formation of the twill lines passes over a first weft yarn, which passes over a first warp yarn that directly neighbors the warp yarn flotation on a first side and passes below a second warp yarn that directly neighbors the warp yarn flotation on a second side opposite the first side. The warp yarn flotation also passes over a second weft yarn that directly neighbors the first weft yarn, and the second weft yarn passes below the first warp yarn and over the second warp yarn.
