Abstract
An industrial two-layer fabric has an inner space between an upper side fabric and a lower side fabric. Some or all of upper side wefts or lower side wefts are secondary wefts interwoven with upper side warps or lower side warps so as to make the number of warps passing on an upper surface of the upper side fabric or passing on a lower surface of the lower side fabric larger than that on an inner space side of the upper or lower side fabric and a long crimp in the inner space is formed by the secondary weft.
Claims7
An industrial two-layer fabric comprising:
- an upper side fabric comprising upper side warps and upper side wefts that are woven with the upper side warps;
- and
- a lower side fabric comprising lower side warps and lower side wefts that are woven with the lower side warps;
- the upper side fabric and the lower side fabric are interwoven with a warp binding yarn or a weft binding yarn and thereby form an inner space between the upper side fabric and the lower side fabric;
- wherein:
- the upper side wefts include at least one of a primary upper side weft and a secondary upper side weft,
- a number of the upper side warps passing under the primary upper side weft is larger than a number of the upper side warps passing on the primary upper side weft so that the primary upper side weft forms a longer crimp on an upper surface of the upper side fabric than a crimp in the inner space,
- a number of the upper side warps passing on the secondary upper side weft is larger than a number of the upper side warps passing under the secondary upper side weft so that the secondary upper side weft forms a longer crimp in the inner space than a crimp on the upper surface;
- and
- the lower side wefts include a primary lower side weft and a secondary lower side weft,
- a number of the lower side warps passing over the primary lower side weft is larger than a number of the lower side warps passing under the secondary lower side weft so that the primary lower side weft forms a long crimp on a lower surface of the lower side fabric than a crimp in the inner space,
- a number of the lower side warps passing under the secondary lower side weft is larger than a number of the lower side warps passing over the secondary lower side weft so that the secondary lower side weft forms a longer crimp in the inner space than a crimp on the lower surface.
