A woven fabric belt device, e.g. an endless screen belt for paper making machines wherein a connection device (7a) is provided on at least one end of the woven fabric belt, which connection device is connectable by use of a releasable connecting device (9) to a further connection device (7b) which is arranged either at the other end of the same woven fabric belt or at an end of another woven fabric belt. In order to provide protection against wear, a number of predetermined longitudinal threads (2) are removed but not separated from the woven fabric (1,2,6) along a portion thereof (4) associated with the end of the woven fabric belt, wherein the removed portions (4) of the longitudinal threads (2) are rewoven into a horizontal protective layer of the woven fabric. The protective layer is positioned to lie at least one of over, under and both over and under the connection device (7a) of the woven fabric belt and thus form a protective layer for this connection device (7a). |
