Claims
- 1. A woven papermakers fabric having top and bottom sides comprising:
- a single layer of first system yarns;
- a second system of yarns including at least a first subsystem of flat monofilament yarns interwoven with said layer of first system yarns in a selected repeat pattern; and
- said first subsystem of flat yarns repeating with respect to four yarns of said single layer of first system yarns with a float over three of said single layer of first system yarns and woven in a balanced weave pattern where said first subsystem yarns consist of two types of alternating adjacent yarns, the first type floating over every first, second and third first system yarns and weaving under every fourth yarn in each repeat, the second type floating over every third, fourth and first first system yarns and weaving under every second yarn in each repeat, such that said subsystem of flat yarns define floats on the top side of the fabric.
- 2. A woven papermakers fabric according to claim 1 wherein:
- said second system of yarns includes a second subsystem of flat monofilament yarns interwoven with said single layer of first system yarns in a selected repeat pattern; and
- said second subsystem of flat yarns repeating with respect to four yarns of said single layer of first system yarns with a float under three of said single layer of first system yarns and woven in a balanced weave pattern where said second subsystem yarns consist of two types of alternating adjacent yarns, the first type floating under every first, second and third first system yarns and weaving over every fourth yarn in each repeat, the second type floating under every third, fourth and first first system yarns and weaving over every second yarn in each repeat, such that said second subsystem of flat yarns define floats on the bottom side of the fabric.
- 3. A woven papermakers fabric according to claim 2 wherein said first system yarns are round cross machine direction yarns and said second system yarns are machine direction yarns.
