"ON-MACHINE-SEAMABLE INDUSTRIAL FABRIC HAVING SEAM-REINFORCING RINGS"
Application 1502/DELNP/2007 published 2007-08-03, filed 2007-02-26
An on-machine-seamable industrial fabric includes rings in the seam region. In one principal embodiment, the rings are between the seaming loops at the two ends of the fabric and enclose at least one cross-machine-direction (CD) yarn. As such, the rings strengthen the seam region by involving the CD yarns as a reinforcement. In another principal embodiment, the rings are used instead of a seaming spiral.
