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.
