In a shoe press belt of a papermaking machine the part, of the paper web-facing layer in which water-holding grooves are formed is composed of a surface sublayer having a, relatively low hardness, and an underlying layer having a relatively high hardness. The higher hardness of the underlying layer prevents cracks from forming where the cross-sectional shape of the grooves tends to change as the belt is compressed. The lower hardness of the surface sublayer prevents the formation of cracks as a result of forces acting on the belt in the direction opposite to the machine direction at the nip location in a papermaking machine.

Why it's free to use
- Filed June 30, 2003. No grant is recorded for it in Canada; had it been granted, its 20-year term would have ended June 30, 2023.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by June 30, 2025.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
