摘要

1. Papermaking tape with a surface in contact with the forming fabric for transferring the resulting fabric containing paper fibers, and not in contact with the forming surface of the surface opposite the surface in contact with the forming fabric, said papermaking tape comprising: a reinforcing element comprising a structure with a pattern, this said design with a pattern contains a continuous network area and many discrete output channels isolated by each other from a friend by said continuous network area; and wherein said continuous network region comprises a pattern formed thereon comprising a plurality of mosaic unit cells; wherein each cell of said plurality of unit cells comprises a center and at least two continuous contact areas extending in at least two directions from said center, each outlet channel is surrounded by a portion of at least one of said continuous contact areas; at least one of said continuous contact areas is branched at least two and forms a continuous part of the contact area with a first width before said branching and at least two continuous parts of a contact area with a second width after said branching, each of said at least two continuous parts of a contact area with said second width continuously communicating with said continuous part of the contact area with said first width; wherein, each of said continuous parts is
