MULTI-LAYER FABRIC WITH PAIRED BINDER YARNS HAVING DIFFERENT CONTOUR PATTERNS

摘要

A multi-layer fabric which may be utilized in a papermaking process. The fabric layers are bound together by plural pairs of weft binder yarns. Each binder yarn within a pair weaves a different contour pattern and combines with the other binder yarn in that pair to form a plain weave pattern in the top layer. Each of the plural pairs is comprised of binding yarns that weave different contour patterns from the next pair.
