Claim:
A paper machine mesh comprising: an upper fabric layer comprising a plurality of upper transverse threads and an outer side forming a paper side of the paper machine mesh; a lower fabric layer comprising a plurality of lower transverse threads and an outer side forming a machine side of the paper machine mesh; a plurality of tie threads arranged in a plurality of pairs and extending transverse to said plurality of upper and lower transverse threads, said plurality of tie threads connecting said upper and said lower fabric layers to each other in that said plurality of tie threads of each of said plurality of pairs are woven with said plurality of upper transverse threads to form a plurality of upper tie sections and with said plurality of lower transverse threads to form a plurality of lower tie sections, wherein each of said plurality of upper tie sections is formed by weaving one of said plurality of tie threads of one of said plurality of pairs with at least one consecutive said plurality of upper transverse threads and one of said plurality of upper tie sections of another of said plurality of tie threads of said one of said plurality of pairs is arranged between two consecutive said plurality of upper tie sections of said one of said plurality of tie threads, wherein each of said plurality of upper tie sections comprises one of said plurality of tie threads crossing at least one of said plurality of upper transverse threads when said one of said plurality of tie threads runs on said outer side of said upper fabric layer, and wherein each of said plurality of lower tie sections comprises one of said plurality of tie threads crossing at least one of said plurality of lower transverse threads when said one of said plurality of tie threads runs on said outer side of said lower fabric layer; a plurality of tie thread repeats in which a weaving of said plurality of tie threads respectively with said plurality of upper and lower transverse threads is repeated; and more than two consecutive said plurality of upper tie sections are arranged in each of said plurality of tie thread repeats.
