Abstract
Abstract A webbing useful for safety belts having an excellent impact energy absorption and a superior impact strength, comprises a webbing made by weaving warps and wefts, at least the warps consisting of polyester filaments which have an intrinsic viscosity of 0.7 or more, a birefringence of 0.08 to 0.15, a tensile strength of 4 g/denier or more, an ultimate elongation of from 50% to 80%, and an elongation value of 5% or less at a point A in a stress-strain curve of the filaments, which point A denotes an intersection point of an extension of a steeply sloped portion of the curve appearing at the initial stage of the elongation of the filaments with an extension of a substantially horizontal or gently sloped portion of the curve appearing at the middle stage of the elongation of the filaments.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
134 words
A webbing useful for safety belts comprising a woven belt composed of warps and wefts, and characterized in that at least the warps consist of polyester filament yarns having an intrinsic viscosity of 0.7 or more, a birefringence of from 0.08 to 0.15, a tensile strength of 4 g/denier or more, an ultimate elongation of from 50% to 80% and an elongation of 5% or less at a point A in a tensile stress-strain curve of the yarns, which point A denotes an intersecting point of an extension line from a steeply sloped portion of the curve appearing at an initial stage of the elongation of the yarns with an extension line from a substantially horizontal or slightly sloped portion of the curve appearing at an middle stage of the elongation of the yarns.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
134 words
A webbing useful for safety belts comprising a woven belt composed of warps and wefts, and characterized in that at least the warps consist of polyester filament yarns having an intrinsic viscosity of 0.7 or more, a birefringence of from 0.08 to 0.15, a tensile strength of 4 g/denier or more, an ultimate elongation of from 50% to 80% and an elongation of 5% or less at a point A in a tensile stress-strain curve of the yarns, which point A denotes an intersecting point of an extension line from a steeply sloped portion of the curve appearing at an initial stage of the elongation of the yarns with an extension line from a substantially horizontal or slightly sloped portion of the curve appearing at an middle stage of the elongation of the yarns.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
55 words
The webbing as claimed in claim 1, wherein the warps are in a warp density of 320 to 400 yarns/50 mm and each have a yarn denier of 1,000 to 1,500, and the wefts are in a weft density of 15 to 25 yarns/2.54 cm and each have a yarn denier of 500 to 750.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
15 words
The webbing as claimed in claim 1, wherein the wefts consist of ordinary polyester filaments.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
21 words
The webbing as claimed in claim 1, wherein the wefts consist of the same polyester filaments as those of the warps.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
23 words
A safety belt comprising the webbing as claimed in claim 1, the webbing having been dyed and finished with a resinous finishing agent.
