An on-machine-seamable industrial fabric includes rings (54) in the seam region. In one principal embodiment, the rings (54) are between the seaming loops (46) at the two ends of the fabric and enclose at least one cross-machine-direction (CD) yarn (50). As such, the rings (54) strengthen the seam region (44) by involving the CD yarns (50) as a reinforcement. In another principal embodiment, the rings (54) are used instead of a seaming spiral. |
