Abstract

A loop formed of a core in the form of one or a plurality of yarn skeins and a seamlessly woven protective sheath which encloses the entire core with considerable play is provided with one or two diagonally oppositely disposed woven flat ribs so as to cause the protective sheath to take on a flat oval cross-sectional configuration even before a load is attached and/or to serve as the support for a connecting seam for two juxtaposed loop strands. The seams may also be used to fasten an abrasion protection cover. The seams may likewise be used to connect a plurality of loops or slings to form a loop mat.
