WIPO Patent Application WO/2004/046461
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A multi-tier fabric loading harness for installing a fabric onto a papermaking machine. The loading harness has a first portion (400) with a supporting rigid member (410) that attaches to an end of the fabric in the cross-machine direction and a plurality of apertures (420) spaced across its width. The first tier (430) is formed by a rope sequentially laced through the apertures to form self-aligning loops. A second rope is sequentially laced through the loops of the first tier to form self-aligning loops for a second tier (440). A pull ring (450) gathers the loops of the second tier and is used to pull the fabric onto the papermaking machine.
