Abstract
The invention relates to a device for changing the cloth of a paper machine, particularly a tissue machine, for example a TAD (through-air drying) machine, with a number of deflection rolls (3), (4), (5), (6) and at least one cleaning device (27), (28), (29) for the machine cloth. Levers (9), (20) are provided on either side of the machine cloth (7), where these levers hold at least one deflection roll (3), (4) and can be pivoted from an operating position to a machine cloth changing position. Thus, the time and the number of personnel required to change the machine cloth are reduced substantially.
