Abstract

Belting for safety belts, particularly for vehicles, having at least one side margin comprising an externally rounded protective profiled element, this element preferably being in the form of a tube. The belting, including said elements, may be woven in one piece. The warp threads in the woven tubular element preferably have a higher coefficient of elongation at break than those of the belt portion, so that under load they will not break before the warp threads of the belt portion. In order to achieve this, the warp threads of the woven tubular element may be shrunk before weaving.
