A DEVICE FOR MOUNTING FABRICS IN PAPERMAKING MACHINES
A device for mounting fabrics in papermaking machines, which device consists of a supplementary strip (5) mounted along the lengthwise edge or edges of the fabric (1). Spaced apart apertures (6) are formed in the strip along the length of the fabric. The apertures (6) are shaped so as to be gripped manually or by means of special tools. Instead of a strip with apertures formed therein separate gripping means in the form of handle loops may be attached to the fabric in spaced-apart relationship along the edge or edges of the fabric.
