Abstract
A press pad for a hydraulic heating press arrangement, the press pad including a fabric, wherein the fabric is formed by warp threads in a warp direction and weft threads in a weft direction, wherein the warp threads and the weft threads are woven together to form the fabric, and wherein functional threads run in the warp direction or in the weft direction and are connected with the fabric so that a thickness of the fabric in an effective portion of the functional threads differs from a thickness of the fabric outside of the effective portion of the functional threads.
Claims14
A press pad for a hydraulic heating press arrangement, the press pad comprising:
- a fabric,
- wherein the fabric is formed by warp threads in a warp direction and weft threads in a weft direction,
- wherein the warp threads and the weft threads are woven together to form the fabric, and
- wherein functional threads run in the warp direction or in the weft direction and are connected with the fabric so that a thickness of the fabric in an effective portion of the functional threads differs from a thickness of the fabric outside of the effective portion of the functional threads.
A method for producing a press pad for a hydraulic heating press arrangement, the method comprising:
- predetermining a design of a press plate that is configured to impress a press blank in the hydraulic heating press arrangement wherein the press plate includes a press relief that includes a structure, so that a surface structure is producible in the press blank that corresponds to the press relief by impressing the press plate into a surface layer of the press blank;
- producing the press pad adapted to dimensions of the press plate, wherein warp threads and weft threads are woven into a fabric of the press pad,
- wherein the press pad is produced as a function of a predetermined design of the press plate so that a thickness of the fabric is adapted at least in portions of the press pad that correspond to high portions of the press relief, wherein functional threads are connected with the fabric so that the thickness of the fabric in effective portions of the functional threads differs from the thickness of the fabric outside of the effective portions of the functional threads.
