Abstract
A wire-link, such as a filament-link belt for process purposes, in particular one serving as a clothing for paper-making machines, with a plurality of juxtaposed, mutually engaging wire-coils comprising end-arcs enclosing plug-in wires and turn-legs connecting the arcs, is characterized in that the turn-legs of at least a part of the wire-coils alternate each time between two end-arcs at least once between the flat sides of the wire-link belt.
Claims17
A wire link belt, comprising:
- a) a plurality of cooperating wire coils extending generally in the direction of the belt, each coil consisting of mutually facing first and second end arcs interconnected by a turn leg integral therewith and said coils defining spaced first and second flat surfaces of the belt;
- b) a plurality of plug-in wires extending in spaced relation transverse to the direction of movement of the belt;
- and
- c) each end arc disposed about an associated one of said plug-in wires so that adjacent coils may pivot thereabout and each turn interconnecting associated ones of said end arcs has at least a portion extending obliquely therebetween relative to said first and second surfaces so that permeability of the belt to air is minimized.
