Abstract
A pintle for joining the ends of a pin-seamable paper machine fabric wherein the pintle comprises a braided sheath of an ultra high molecular weight polyethylene yarn and optionally is filled with polyamide monofilament or polyethylene yarn. The pintle is configured to substantially fill the voids in the fabric loops when inserted so that a smoother seam is achieved that significantly reduces marks on the resultant paper.
