International ClassD21F 005/00AbstractAn industrial process fabric is embossed in a device, such as a continuously operating two-roll calender having a preselected embossing pattern. The roll(s) of the calender may alternatively themselves be engraved or etched to provide the embossing. Embossing takes place with controlled temperature, pressure, speed and gap (between the rolls) settings. The fabric may be a forming, press, dryer or TAD fabric used in paper and pulp production, pulp forming fabric or an engineered fabric used to produce nonwoven textile products by meltblowing, spunbonding, hydroentangling or air laid needle punching.Field of SearchNon-uniform, irregular or configured web or sheetMulti-layer waterlaid webs or sheets Synthetic fiber (including chemically modified cellulose) Running or indefinite length product forming and/or treating means Irregular treating member or acting non-uniformly across web product Press and felt With felt structure or felt composition Press felting (i.e., pressure member acting on pulp on mold) Formed of or including a continuous member of sheet-like material (e.g., canvas, etc.) Including variation in thickness With component conforming to contour of nonplanar surface Woven fabric including an additional woven fabric layer TEXTILE PRODUCT FABRICATION OR TREATMENT Texturing (e.g., crimping) | |
