Abstract:

An installation cable unwinder for dispensing a wire leader and pintle, which joins the ends of a papermachine fabric in a pin seam, includes a spool attached to a larger plate-like member. The pintle is wound onto the spool with the wire leader extending therefrom. The wire leader is then coiled loosely about the spool, and fastened by staples or tie straps to the plate-like member. A hole passing through the spool and plate-like member allows the user to place the installation cable unwinder on a dowel to rotate thereabout, so that the wire leader and pintle may be conveniently dispensed therefrom.
