Abstract
A forming fabric consisting of synthetic yarns and intended for use in papermaking, cellulose and similar machines. The fabric comprises two layers, a top layer comprising fine yarns and forming the forming layer proper, and a bottom layer, the wear layer, comprising coarser yarns. The two layers are interconnected by interconnecting yarns which are arranged in pairs in such a manner that in the top layer they replace one another to form a regular pattern, preferably a two-shaft weave pattern, a twill weave pattern or a satin weave pattern.
