Patent 7393434 was granted and assigned to Albany International Airport on July, 2008 by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
A method of stabilizing the seam loops of a papermaking fabric or other industrial fabric until the fabric is ready to be installed and seamed on a machine. Stabilizing the loops prevents torque imbalance and other forces from distorting the loop alignment over time, thereby making the loops easier to connect and seam when the fabric is ready to be installed.
