<p>A papermaking belt (10) for dewatering and imprinting a paper web. The belt comprises two laminae (20, 50) joined together in a face to face relationship to form a unitary laminate. The first lamina (20) comprises a foraminous imprinting member (21) which may serve as a reinforcing structure (23) for a patterned framework (40). The second lamina (50) comprises a secondary base and a batting (52) which is joined to the secondary base to form a dewatering felt. The two laminae (20, 50) are juxtaposed and attached such that batting from the second lamina extends through the foraminous imprinting member of the first lamina providing a hydraulic connection therebetween.</p> |
