MULTI-AXIAL PRESS FABRIC WITH ANGULAR WEB

摘要

A multi-axial press fabric includes a base fabric and several layers of staple fiber material attached to the base fabric by needling. The base fabric has at least one layer assembled by spirally winding a woven fabric strip. The base fabric takes the form of an endless loop. The yarns of the. woven fabric strip accordingly lie in directions different from the machine- and cross-machine directions of the base fabric, giving the base fabric multi-axial characteristics. Individual fibers in the several layers of staple-fiber material attached to the base fabric are predominantly oriented at oblique angles relative to the machine direction of the press fabric. More specifically, they form a crisscrossed angular web.
