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.

Abstract: The invention pertains to an elastic band, in particular for upholstery on the backrests of chairs, etc. The band has rubber threads (2, 2a, 2b) running in its longitudinal direction. On both sides of the rubber threads, running transverse to them, are from and back woof threads (4, 6) made of inelastic textile material. The band is designed for crochet production. It has weave threads made of inelastic material, with each rubber thread (2, 2a, 2b) having two weave threads (7, 8) one of which, as stationary weave thread (7), always loops around the same rubber thread as well as the front and back woof threads (4, 6). The other, the jump weave thread (8) makes loops around a first rubber thread (2a) and around a small, odd number of successive from and back woof threads (4, 6). It then jumps to a neighboring second rubber thread (2) and with it makes an equal number of successive front and back woof-thread loops. It then jumps back to the first rubber thread (2a), etc.
