Claim:
A fabric for a horizontal belt filter, comprising a two-layer structure wherein upper-surface-side wefts form an upper-surface-side layer having an upper-surface-side surface and a running-face-side wefts form a running-face-side layer having a running-face-side surface, the upper-surface-side wefts and the running-face-side wefts are woven together by warps; wherein each of warps comprises a warp long crimp portion and a warp latent portion; the warp long crimp portion passes over four or more continuous upper-surface-side wefts in a complete texture; the warp latent portion passes under one to four upper-surface-side wefts, wherein at least a part of the warp latent portion passes under one or two running-face-side wefts in the complete texture to weave together the upper-surface-side layer and the running-face-side layer; the upper-face-side surface comprises the warp long crimp portions and the upper-surface-side wefts which pass over the warp latent portions; and a weft long crimp is formed on the running-face-side surface.
