<p>A fabric, in particular for a paper making machine, comprises a plurality of helically wound coil members (12, 12', 12") arranged side by side with respect to each other in an intermeshing manner, such that connecting channels (14, 16) are formed by adjacent intermeshing coil members (12, 12', 12"), a hinge member (18, 20) being introduced into and extending along each connecting channel (14, 16) for interconnecting adjacent coil members (12, 12', 12"), a stuffer channel (22) being formed within each coil member (12, 12', 12") extending along and between two connecting channels (14, 16) associated to a respective coil member (12, 12', 12"), at least a part of the stuffer channels (22) being filled with stuffer members (24) extending longitudinally within the stuffer channels (22), a stuffer material (26) being provided at least in regions of the fabric (10) for filling spaces formed within the fabric (10) between the coil members (12, 12', 12"), the hinge members (18, 20) and the stuffer members (24).</p> |
