Abstract
Abstract The strap-like fabric made of interwoven weft and warp yarns has a selvage in the form of knitted stitches. A binding yarn made of a thermoplastic material or covered with an adhesive layer is applied to the cross points of respective loops of the knitted stitches and is united with the cross points by a heat treatment to form firm connection points either by cementing or by welding. The connection points prevent unweaving of the fabric when the weft yarn or the binding yarn accidentally breaks.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
141 words
A strap-like fabric comprising a warp, a weft, an additional binding yarn and a knitted selvage formed of end loops of the weft and of loops of the additional binding yarn knitted in said end loops of the weft, said additional binding yarn being located in said end loops of the weft outside of the woven texture of the fabric, said loops of the additional binding yarn having crossing points and being firmly connected one to another at said crossing points by welding to form a plurality of firm points in said selvage, said additional binding yarn including a plurality of components at least one of which is of a thermoplastic material the melting point of which is lower than that of the weft yarn so as to weld together the thermoplastic material at said crossing points into said firm points.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
141 words
A strap-like fabric comprising a warp, a weft, an additional binding yarn and a knitted selvage formed of end loops of the weft and of loops of the additional binding yarn knitted in said end loops of the weft, said additional binding yarn being located in said end loops of the weft outside of the woven texture of the fabric, said loops of the additional binding yarn having crossing points and being firmly connected one to another at said crossing points by welding to form a plurality of firm points in said selvage, said additional binding yarn including a plurality of components at least one of which is of a thermoplastic material the melting point of which is lower than that of the weft yarn so as to weld together the thermoplastic material at said crossing points into said firm points.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
24 words
A strap-like fabric as defined in claim 1 wherein said binding yarn is at least partially coated with a layer of an adhesive agent.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
34 words
A strap-like fabric as defined in claim 1, wherein said end loops of the weft are knitted along the edge of the fabric, and being located outside of the woen texture of the fabric.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
30 words
A strap-like fabric as defined in claim 1 wherein said additional binding yarn includes a core provided with a jacket layer which melts at a lower temperature than the core.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
154 words
A strap-like fabric comprising a warp, a weft and a knitted selvage formed of interlooped ends of the weft, and further comprising loops of an additional binding yarn knitted in the end loops of the weft along said selvage and being located in said end loops of the weft outside of the woven texture of the fabric, and further comprising crossing points of said end loops of the weft and said loops of the additional binding yarn, said binding yarn being firmly connected to said end loops of the weft at said crossing points by welding to form a plurality of firm points in said selvage, said additional binding yarn including a plurality of components at least one of which is of a thermoplastic material the melting point of which is lower than that of the weft yarn so as to weld together the thermoplastic material at said crossing points into said firm points.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
154 words
A strap-like fabric comprising a warp, a weft and a knitted selvage formed of interlooped ends of the weft, and further comprising loops of an additional binding yarn knitted in the end loops of the weft along said selvage and being located in said end loops of the weft outside of the woven texture of the fabric, and further comprising crossing points of said end loops of the weft and said loops of the additional binding yarn, said binding yarn being firmly connected to said end loops of the weft at said crossing points by welding to form a plurality of firm points in said selvage, said additional binding yarn including a plurality of components at least one of which is of a thermoplastic material the melting point of which is lower than that of the weft yarn so as to weld together the thermoplastic material at said crossing points into said firm points.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
27 words
A strap-like fabric as defined in claim 5 wherein said additional binding yarn includes a core provided with a jacket layer which melts faster than the core.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
25 words
A strap-like fabric as defined in claim 5 wherein said additional binding yarn is at least partially coated with a layer of an adhesive agent.
