Abstract
Abstract Disclosed is a covered textile fabric strap having the outward appearance and performance properties of leather. The strap in its preferred form includes a flat woven textile strip, wrapped in a protective cover having an outer plastic wear layer and an inner fabric reinforcing layer. The edges of the protective cover are protected from wear by a second fabric reinforced plastic sheet which is placed over them, with its own edges turned under, and the fabric strip and protective covers are united by rows of stitching.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
229 words
A strap for simulating strips of stitched and folded leather and having substantially the equivalent appearance and strength thereof, comprising: an elongated core of flat woven textile fiber multilayer web centrally positioned within said strap for providing a relatively high strength flexible nucleus therefor; a protective multilayered cover folded around said core, circumferentially enclosing it, said cover comprising an outer wear layer of relatively abrasion resistant polymeric material uniformly bonded to a relatively thin inner layer of reinforcing fabric, the longitudinal edges of said protective cover facing each other along a longitudinal face of said strap forming a continuous joint extending therealong; an edge protecting multilayered cover comprising a wear layer of said relatively abrasion resistant polymeric material uniformly bonded to a relatively thin layer of reinforcing fabric, with the longitudinal edges of said cover folded under to face each other along a longitudinal face thereof, said edge protecting cover being longitudinally positioned over said continuous joint of said protective cover with said folded edges of said edge protecting cover adjacent thereto, whereby the facing edges of both multilayered covers are disposed therebetween and adjacent said elongated core; and rows of stitching uniting said elongated core and said multilayered covers into a relatively high strength strap, said stitching being positioned outwardly of and extending through the layers and edges of said pair of multilayered covers and said elongated core.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
229 words
A strap for simulating strips of stitched and folded leather and having substantially the equivalent appearance and strength thereof, comprising: an elongated core of flat woven textile fiber multilayer web centrally positioned within said strap for providing a relatively high strength flexible nucleus therefor; a protective multilayered cover folded around said core, circumferentially enclosing it, said cover comprising an outer wear layer of relatively abrasion resistant polymeric material uniformly bonded to a relatively thin inner layer of reinforcing fabric, the longitudinal edges of said protective cover facing each other along a longitudinal face of said strap forming a continuous joint extending therealong; an edge protecting multilayered cover comprising a wear layer of said relatively abrasion resistant polymeric material uniformly bonded to a relatively thin layer of reinforcing fabric, with the longitudinal edges of said cover folded under to face each other along a longitudinal face thereof, said edge protecting cover being longitudinally positioned over said continuous joint of said protective cover with said folded edges of said edge protecting cover adjacent thereto, whereby the facing edges of both multilayered covers are disposed therebetween and adjacent said elongated core; and rows of stitching uniting said elongated core and said multilayered covers into a relatively high strength strap, said stitching being positioned outwardly of and extending through the layers and edges of said pair of multilayered covers and said elongated core.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
172 words
A strap simulating stitched and folded leather and having substantially the equivalent appearance and strength thereof, comprising: an elongated core of flat woven textile fiber multilayered webb centrally positioned within said strap for providing a relatively high strength flexible nucleus therefor; at least one protective multilayered cover comprising an outer wear layer of relatively abrasion resistant polymeric material uniformly bonded to a relatively thin inner layer of reinforcing fabric; said protective multilayered cover folded around said core, circumferentially enclosing it, and being united thereto by stitching; the edges of said multilayered cover being concealed, with a first edge of said cover being folded under a second edge of said cover along a longitudinal face of said core, and said second edge of said multilayered cover being turned inwardly for concealing said edges beneath said cover; said stitching uniting said elongated core and said covers into a relatively high strength strap, said stitching being positioned centrally of and extending through the layers and inturned edges of said multilayered cover and said elongated core.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
172 words
A strap simulating stitched and folded leather and having substantially the equivalent appearance and strength thereof, comprising: an elongated core of flat woven textile fiber multilayered webb centrally positioned within said strap for providing a relatively high strength flexible nucleus therefor; at least one protective multilayered cover comprising an outer wear layer of relatively abrasion resistant polymeric material uniformly bonded to a relatively thin inner layer of reinforcing fabric; said protective multilayered cover folded around said core, circumferentially enclosing it, and being united thereto by stitching; the edges of said multilayered cover being concealed, with a first edge of said cover being folded under a second edge of said cover along a longitudinal face of said core, and said second edge of said multilayered cover being turned inwardly for concealing said edges beneath said cover; said stitching uniting said elongated core and said covers into a relatively high strength strap, said stitching being positioned centrally of and extending through the layers and inturned edges of said multilayered cover and said elongated core.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
