A jointing means for connecting together the ends of a papermakers or like fabric comprises coil elements (13, 14) attachable to the respective fabric ends, the end regions (20, 21) of the individual turns of the coils being so profiled as inherently to maintain, on interdigitation of the coil, a degree of interengagement which is sufficient to provide and maintain a tunnel (16) to receive a pintle wire (15) into engagement therewith. It is suggested that the coils be such as to be capable of interdigitation by mechanical means such as, for example, a slider (22). |
