  • Publication number: 20050161104
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing a woven belt strap, particularly an automobile safety belt strap, which is characterized in that the weft threads are alternately inserted from one belt strap side and then from the other belt strap side, during which at least the first of both warp threads remain on the respective weft entry side without being woven, and a catch thread, which loops the weft on the weft exit side, is drawn into the weave until the warp threads, which remained unwoven with the preceding weft, are woven by the catch thread loop.

  • Patent number: 6918411
    Abstract: A method and a device for the production of a ribbon are provided. The method may be performed on a narrow fabric needle loom and may include repeating the following steps: picking a weft thread (4), with (only) one weft needle (1); meshing the weft thread (4), with a catch thread (5), delivered from the side opposite the weft side (weft exit side), by a knitting needle (2) working on the weft exit side; returning the weft needle (1) and wrapping the weft thread (4), with a catch thread (6), delivered from the weft side by a knitting needle working on the weft side. The device may include a narrow fabric needle looms, for production of a ribbon, in particular by the above method. A webbing is also provided that may be produced from the above method.

  • Patent number: 5299603
    Abstract: Weaving belt material on a needle belt material loom with oppositely operating weft needles by insertion into a common shed. The heads of the oppositely inserted weft loops are secured by two rows of stitches arranged at the outer border of the belt material.

  • Patent number: 4313473
    Abstract: The belting has a single layer woven central portion (24) and two tubular edge portions (21, 22) and is made on a needle belt weaving loom provided with a knitting needle (37). The belting serves preferably for safety belts in motor vehicles. One tubular edge portion (22) is closed by a row of stitching (28') whereby the row of stitching does not lie at the outer edge of the tubular edge portion (22) but should disappear into the fabric at the edge of the central portion (24). By means of the invention the rate of production should be increased, which results from manufacture with two simultaneously moving weft thread insertion needles (30, 34) which simultaneously at each pick insert two weft threads (31, 35). To anchor one weft thread at the outer edges of the edge parts a common shed for both weft thread insertion needles is formed at least on the insertion side by the two outer edge warp threads (1a, 2a).
