Abstract
In a seam, for example, for paper machine clothing, interdigitating seaming loops (13, 14) embrace deformable yarns (17) inserted between the last cross-machine direction yarns (15a) and the opposed seaming loops (14, 13). Alternatively, an insert may be in the form of a ladder-like member (30) comprising one or more cross-machine direction members (31, 32, 33) and a multiplicity of machine direction members (34) extending beyond the members (31, 32, 33) to locate the seaming loops. Also possible is the use of a strip or tape of foamed or foamable material.
