  • Patent number: 4239271
    Abstract: An improved loop for a flexible strap is disclosed wherein the loop is reversible and protected from wear by a protective cover. First means secures the terminal end of the flexible strap to an adjacent area creating the loop. The strap is folded within the loop, creating a folded region of increased strap thickness and decreased strap width. The protective cover completely encompasses the folded region of the flexible strap. A twist is interposed in the loop enabling alternate sides of the protective cover to be positioned within the loop to alternately receive the normal wear. The foregoing abstract is merely a resume of one general application, is not a complete discussion of all principles of operation or applications and is not to be construed as a limitation on the scope of the claimed subject matter.
